Review--> Gosh Soft'n Shine lip balm

This blog post is gonna be a review on the GOSH Soft'n Shine lip balm

I got 6 colors: #30 Barbie, #32 Angel, #33 Scarlet, #37 Soft touch, #39 Sweetheart, #41 Kiss.

It was 75% at the drugstore Kruidvat so I got 8 colors in total. 2 for my aunts and 6 for myself. it was only 2,12 euro's each.

This product comes in 10 colors, the other colors were not so interesting for me, otherwise I would have bought them all. HAHA

These lip balms are so amazing. They're long lasting, moisturizing, have good color pay off and are glossy and shiney

The texture is soft and easy to apply. It comes transparent on your lips, but you can see the color very well.
Some of them are sheer and some of them contains fine glitters.

And here are the swatches:
Starting from #30 Barbie
It's a cool toned pink with no shimmers
It looks bright on my lips...I like it very much!
#32 Angel
It's a red pink color with golden shimmers
It has the same name as the MAC lipstick in Angel, but they are actually very different xP Not even close.


 #33 Scarlet
This is my favorite color.  It's a combination of red pink and coral. It has bigger yellow orange shimmers than #32 Angel. So this one is shinier than Angel.

Swatch on hand

#32 Angel->#33 Scarlet->#30 Barbie

#39 Sweetheart
This is a coral pink color with golden shimmers..very pretty 

#37 Soft touch
The color is pink/mauve, no shimmers
#41 Kiss
I've been looking for this red for a long time, this is exactly the color that I was looking for, now I found it, I'm so happy=D


Product: ★★★★★
Price:★★★★☆(with discount it's cheap but 8,49 euro is also affordable and a reasonable price for a great product like this)
Packaging:★★★★☆(I don't like that some of the colors don't have the actual color sticker on it, I don't know if I got the older version or not, but I find it easier for me to select by color and not by the number/name from the lip balm)
2nd? ★★★★★ (Definitely! Since I already got almost every color, there's no need for me to buy the other colors. But if one of them runs out, I will definitely purchase it again!)

I've been wanting this Naked palette for such a long time, but I didn't got the chance to get it. It got sold out almost everywhere in the US.
I checked on Ebay some of them were even $60....
So I was like: NEVER that I'm going to buy that palette for $60=_=

Then last week I got a message from Wai, she said it was a life death situation....(actually it was a LIFE DEATH situation)
I read her twitter, she said that she got the Naked palette...Then I understood it immediately that THE LIFE DEATH was the NAKED PALETTE!
So I went to the Sephora really fast and I asked the staff to reserve it for me
Then I finally called Wai, and she told me that she already got it for me!!! I was like: OMG....HAHAHA

So this is the look that I did..

Shu Uemura UV Mousse base SPF30 PA+++

MAC Blot Powder Loose # Medium Dark
NARS blush #Orgasm

Eyes:

Bye March=(, Hi April=D

Yeah I know it is a long time ago....4 months...I can't believe it!
I always wanted to do a blogpost, but I was just too busy with my study, social life, getting my drivers license and other things...
BUT since I quit my study last week, I feel so free now....like a heavy stone on my shoulders just disappeared!

This study was too difficult for me, (and believe me: I HATE TO ADMIT THIS)..even for the other people. I missed the basic of mathematics and that made it be even more difficult,  (This is not an excuse, I always think: if you do your best, you will succeed).,even if I do this year all over again. BUT at a certain point I got very depressed(it was around the middle of March), I couldn't see the light anymore, it's like I'm floating in a black hole, don't know where to go and what to do. And doing the year over again is like digging an other hole for myself and jump inside that hole.

Furthermore, I was being unconscious about everything, when people talk to me, I couldn't get concentrated and LISTEN to people, of course I heard them, but it were my brains that couldn't pick up anything what they said, so I couldn't say anything back. I couldn't just go to people and talk to them, not because I don't like them.....actually my heart said, you have to talk to people, but my brain said "NOTHING"!!!!! because I was unconscious!! I thought I lost the human ability to talk to people.

Things were going like that for a while till the end of March, when the situation got worse....I let things go, I gave up, I wasn't doing my best to fix things, I failed.
One thing I did right was: I didn't turn my back to the people who were always supporting me and who loves me. I knew that I can always count on them and they will be just as supportive as they have always been. I am really thankful.

because of the support and love I woke up and started to think...I had deep thoughts and I was thinking really hard. Finally I realized: things can not be like this any longer, I can't let people down by being unhappy, and since my motivation was gone(because of the bad grades) and I got mentally ill sometimes....I had a conclusion, I said to myself: THIS IS NOT GOOD for me anymore..I have to make a decision.
So I decided to quit...that's the best thing I can do
It was a very difficult decision to make....and I am proud of myself that I was brave enough to make this decision.

But this doesn't means that I'm not going to study anymore...I'm going to look for other studies that are easier, healthier for me and (most important: )that makes me happy

"One door got closed doesn't means that the other doors are not open", this is not the only way to move forward. If you keep looking forward, you will find the right path.
This path may not be easy to pass through, but if you really want something, the universe will give you the power and support you to move forward.
And even though you have chosen the wrong path, you will learn from it. Like I did! I didn't spend a year for nothing? To be honest..I learned a lot! And what you've learned is from you, nobody can take away from you...

I will be fine=D I will survive!

So, try to be happy....A lot of people thinks being happy is really easy(for example having tons of money, power or owns everything!), but there are enough people in the world, who got tons of money and power, but still being unhappy and unsatisfied. I believe if you want to be happy you will find out what will make you truly happy. If you're unhappy right now, you have to do a self-review, just ask yourself, why can't I be happy? The answer to this question, is it a thing that you can change about? Or the thing that has to be changed is yourself?
Do the things that you can do, don't be late, as long as you're happy!




Haul-->PRIMARK Hooffdorp

Since I don't want to begin with the "opening sentence" that I always begin my blog-posts with.. I just go straight to the subject=)

Last Friday I went to Hoofddorp with my friend Wendy(she's is also a blogger, here is her blog) Since the Primark has opened there I always wanted to go there! Because I've heard that Primark sells a lot of goodies for an affordable price(well actually CHEAP!)
I really had full expectations! So I was very excited

I even got more excited when I got there in the city center of Hoofddorp and saw that EVERYONE walks with a bag from Primark...haha

But I have to say..after I spend 15 min there..I got disappointed..there were so many people and everyone was like: OMG this is so cheap so I HAVE to get this~~!
And I was like: OMG These things look so CHEAP...NEVER that I'm going to buy these....
Totally the opposite

Regardless to the fact that the clothing looked very cheap, I did find the jewelry very nice
The quality is okay(at least SOME of them) and they have a pretty huge collection to select from
So I only ended up with jewelries....
The price of them are between 1,5 euro and 5 euro

Here are the things that i got
3 necklaces(Primark)
1 bracelet set (Primark)
1 ring set(Primark)
and I also got 2 brooches for Wai but I already gave it to her xD


 I really like the ring set...it was only 2 euro, but the pearl is actually too big xD
I can deal with it xD
 And I also got a scarf from the H&M...it has a floral print, I think it will look really nice in the spring
And this necklace from Sascha ( I didn't know that Sascha sells accessories) It was 50% off, so I got it for only 5 euro
I really like the key and the rhinestone heart....it's a little Tiffany & Co look a like..but since I can't afford that one, I'm happy with this one=D


 

So yeah that was my mini haul..
I hope you enjoyed reading!
