101 goals in 1001 days

Hello lovelies,
Hope you are all doing fabulous today!
So I was browsing the web(all right I admit it... beauty blogs and online window shopping), when I came across "Musings of a Make Up Maniac" or better said Julie's post about 101 goals that you have to complete in 1001 days. I was so inspired by her that I decided to make my own list of things. A couple that she has, I definitely want to do as well. So you might find some things familiar if you have read her post as well. Quite frankly I love ideas like this, and posting this on my blog is just a friendly reminder that anyone in the world can read back the goals that you have set up for yourself, no pressure or anything haha.

Shopping my stash.... *AHUM*

Hello Lovelies,
So this is the danger when I have the day off and and try to shop my stash. As soon as I opened my lip products drawer, my eyes caught my Mac lipsticks. I just started randomly swatching them...Figured I'd do a post on them... But I forgot which one was which after I had chucked them on my bed after swatching... WOOPSIE! Sorry... But I mean...HELLO how many do I have? For real?! Mac lipstick collection anyone? Haha.. OK in my defense... You do get a lipstick every time you back to Mac 6 empty items. This is not helping with me convincing you that I am not a Mac addict is it? Oh well... Must do a lipstick collection soon, note to self... remember or write down which is which. Enjoy your day!
Lots of hugs, kisses and happy thoughts!

Spring cleaning

Hello Lovelies,
Hope you are all doing good! Afraid my good old computer, Peter (yes I name all my electronics haha), is on it's last leg. As I type this I can't help but giggle cause I am on an actual desktop computer. Has been a while that I have been on one of these. As side from work of course, but they block all good sites so, I should say, blogging on a desktop feels so strange. Anyways... I am blabbing. Today I am busy with cleaning, it's finally spring in the Netherlands and of course I can't get myself to actually get dressed on this day off and go and do something. Lazy ass that I am. So I decided a good spring cleaning would be good at the moment, and also very very very very very (just imagine I repeat it about 40 more times) necessary. So not only has my blog had an extreme makeover, so did my room. Well in cleanness then. Not done yet! But working on it!
Then I can  finally do my room tour/decor thing. I think I get that asked at least every two weeks. Shame on me for not having done it yet! Anyways.. Hope you are having a nice day off, I think most of Europe is free today. And otherwise you are having a fabulous time doing what you are doing.
Lots of hugs, kisses and happy thoughts

Haul! Mac Hey Sailor Summer 2012 collection, Inglot and Revlon

Hello Lovelies,
Hope you are all having a fabulous Saturday and are enjoying your weekend.
This morning, bright and early, I made my way to the city (of Rotterdam if you are curious!). Because....... Every year us Dutchies, are so lucky that we get the Mac summer collection earlier in then most countries. This year the Mac summer collection, Hey Sailor, is inspired by.... sailor stuff! Haha who would guess;)
I will do individual reviews on the items that I got, which are the:

* Hey Sailor Highlighting powder in Crew

* Pro Longwear bronzer in Nude on the beach

* Blush in Fleet Fast

* Lipstick in Sail La Vie

Of course I have already made a haul video and it even is online already! Superspeedy me! Woohoo!
Oh and what do you think of my nifty first attempt at an instagram photo? (see above picture)
If you're interested, I am now instagramming and you can find me at ellesobsessions. Same user name as my twitter. There's some shameless self promotion for ya.
Anyways... I'll leave you with my haul video and wish you a nice weekend!
Lots of hugs kisses and happy thoughts,

Hello dear old friend

Hello lovely reader,
As you are reading this you might be thinking "She's still alive?!". Yup, I am! Kicking and screaming as always haha... Well these past couple of months I took quite the hiatus. Life decided to kick me in the but. You know domino? Well let's just say that many pieces fell at once and made me, just going through the motions and forgetting to do what I love and adore.. crazy right?! Well no more! I will be back from now on! I just miss blogging too much.. I know I don't have a million followers... But it's all just a number baby and I appreciate every single one of you! And all and all it's really about me telling you what I love and putting my thoughts about beauty products out there on the interwebs.
So in order to get myself back on track I decided to re-post some of my old blog posts from my old blog. (long story short I had to switch google accounts) I hope you don't mind :)
This way it will be easier for anyone to find something as well! You don't have to switch back and forth.
So if you are a follower you will be seeing quite some posts by me in your box. Not to worry just a one time thing! I'll leave you for now.
Lots of hugs, kisses and happy thoughts!

On The Hunt For the Perfect Foundation: Gosh X-Ceptional Wear

Hello Lovelies!

Hope everyone is doing fabulous! Today is another: On the hunt for the prefect foundation rambleA while ago (aka 3 months ago) I bough the Gosh X-ceptional wear

I really like Gosh cause it has a good range for light skintones as well! So let's dive into the review!

Package is plain black... Nothing to say about that;) It comes with 30ml for 7.50 euros How cheap? Loves it!

Comes in a squeeze tube with is nice.. but if you squeeze out too much. You will waste it!

I mean you can try and push in back in.. but that doesn't really work! Believe me.. I've tried hahaha;)

Coverage is really nice and it works lovely with the beauty blender! Now here's the problem... Yes it's light and would match me... But it's way too yellow! Gurrr...

Also you can NOT apply this with your fingers.. Will look really heavy! Then another thing..

Ya'll know my face loves to eat my foundation! Same deal with thise one. Will not last...

The verdict

Price? ***** (7.50! Nice!)

Exterior? *** (Simple but hygenic)

Colouring? **( Comes in 5 shades not very good for everyone. All very yellow )

Coverage? ****( Medium to full!)

Cruelty free? ***** (Gosh is Cruelty free)

Easy to get? ** (Only in Europe)

Overall ***

Sad moment! Really wanted to love it... Oh well! On with the hunt for the perfect foundation!

Have any recommendations for me??What's your favorite foundation?

Love,

Elle
