The Mrs Carter Show World Tour 2014

After missing last years concert I was superexcited when they announced that Queen B was coming back to Belgium this year. I was fortunate enough to be able to buy my ticket before they were being sold which was great since they sold out in 10 minutes!! I was so excited. I still can't believe I've seen her in real life. Beyoncé never dissapoints. Everytime she performs it's a full on show! She gives it her all! Loved it!

(Na het missen van het concert vorig jaar was ik heel blij dat er werd aangekondigd dat Beyoncé ook dit jaar weer een spetterende show ging geven in België. Dit jaar had ik geluk om mijn ticket te kopen voordat ze verkocht werden aan het publiek. Daar ben ik heel dankbaar voor aangezien ze na 10 minuten al uitverkocht waren!! Ik was echt zo excited. Ik kan nog altijd niet geloven dat ik haar echt heb gezien. Beyoncé stelt haar fans nooit teleur. Elke keer dat ze optreed gaat ze ervoor, het is altijd spectaculair. Ik heb er echt van genoten.)

My current wish list..

I've been seeing these slip-ons for a while now. These are are from Steve Madden but there are so many brands that make these kinds of shoes. These ones are like the classic slip-ons sold by Vans. It looks more expensive and luxurious because of the snakeskin that's been added to it. They're to die for but now that I'm trying to get my own I can't seem to find a store/website to by my own. (Gutted!!). I've been googling like crazy. I can't even find them ! If anyone knows where they sell them please holla at your girl!

( Ik ben al een lange tijd op zoek naar deze überschöne schoenen! Dit zijn de snakeskin slip-ons van Steve Madden. Ze lijken op de klassieke slip-ons van Vans maar lijken duurder en stralen meer luxe uit door het slangenpatroon dat hieraan toegevoegd werd. Ze zijn echt fantastisch! Gorgeous! Ik heb overal gezocht, google, ebay,.. maar ze zijn nergens te vinden. Weten jullie misschien waar ik ze verkocht worden? ) 

The second item on my wish list is this sweater by Chanel. It's called the Coco Chanel Homme + Femme Hockey Sweater. It has heavy duty zippers on the side to adjust the fit of the sweater which I absolutely love. It's cost about $150 (about €108 euros) which is not that bad at all for a Chanel sweater. This can be worn by both men and women. Can't wait to get mine.!

( De tweede item op mijn wish list is deze sweater van Coco Chanel. De naam van deze sweater is Coco Chanel Homme + Femme Hockey Sweater. Het heeft ritsen aan de zijkant zodat je t zelf kan aanpassen. De sweater kost ongeveer €108, wat niet duur is voor een trui van Chanel. Dit kan gedragen worden door mannen en vrouwen. Hopelijk heb ik snel de mijne! )

Mac Lipsticks And Their Finishes

Before I bought my M.A.C. lipsticks I used to look for reviews on Youtube. I would remember people talking about the different finishes but I never really understood the terms that were used like: frost, glazed, satin, amplified, lustre, matte & sheer.

I'd like to explain it to those who have no clue what I'm talkin about.

Matte

No shine at all, very pigmented & very intense.

Lustre
Semi sheer, very moisturizing for the lips & gives your lips a wet look.

Glaze
Just a little bit of colour with a sheen finish. Makes your lips shine.

Sheer
Very little to no colour, it's very natural, close to being transparent

Frost
Very pigmented with a bit of shimmer

Satin
Colourful. has a matte finish, but it's not as matte as a lipstick that has a matte finish. so it's semi-matte. It's really pigmented. conditions the lips.

Amplified 
Very very very pigmented! It has very little shine & is super creamy.

I really recommend the Lustre, Amplified finishes for people with very dry lips but If you'd really like to try the other finishes I'd suggest to prep your lips by using a lipbalm or vaseline 10min  before you apply your lipstick for extra moisture.


I hope this was helpfull to you all!
