Matte or glossy, there is something to find for everyone's desire. Red and nudes appeal to me the most. They also happen to be my favorites from the Lip Paint collection by L’Oréal.

Happy New Year everyone! May this one be filled with more happiness and joy than the last year. 2016 was a year with a lot of highs and lows. Too many tragedies took place close where to we felt safe. Too many tragedies happen without us even knowing about it. Fear settled in the hearts of a lot of people. We must not let fear take over our way of life. We should stay vigilant, but also remain kind toward each other. Help each other. Respect and love each other. See each day that we get to live as a gift and don't take it for granted.

One of the great things about Sephora would be their Favorites line. You get amazing value for the money, and you get to try new brands that you would normally never gravitate to.
In my make up closet, you can find many Sephora Favorites boxes. What I normally do is save them to show you guys on the blog, but by the time I want to and can write about them, they have sold out. Luckily for me and for you, Chic It Easy is still available and I think that many of you might really like this.

My favorite genre of film would be fantasy. Tim Burton, Henry Selick, Jim Henson, and Guillermo are the have my personal preference.
Sometimes it happens that you are at the right place the right moment. In the past I've often missed out on exhibitions (Tim Burton) because of the distance being too great.

What is it with minis that always gets me excited? They are just so darn cute! I love minis for traveling and my latest obsession is everything holographic. The new album, The Holographic Principle, sparked the holosexuality in me. I got to experiment more with make up and slowly the admiration for all the colors of the rainbow got to me.

The Holographic Principle has been unleashed upon the world. Never before have we graced so many magazine covers! The reviews have been mind blowing and the fans seem to have welcomed it with open arms.
The second edition of EPIC METAL FEST, held in the Netherlands and Brazil, have been a huge success! Our CD presentation at 013 Tilburg was another milestone in our career because it embarked the release of THP. The emotions that I felt when we played the new songs live for the first time were incredible and scary at the same time.

Our 7th studio album, which was created by the band, our producer, and the fans (you motivate and inspire us), carries the heaviest EPICA songs that we have ever written. All of the guys in the band have been writing songs, and I love how diverse the album sounds due to the five composers that EPICA has.
Soon after we released our first single – “Universal Death Squad” – talented fans from all over the world started making beautiful covers. Here are two that I enjoyed immensely:
Let me know what you think about The Holographic Principle! Which is your favorite song? One of mine is definitely the title track.
Thanks to the fans from all over the world. As I said in the booklet:
Together, we are EPICA!

Time to play with the famous Semi Sweet Chocolate palette from Too Faced!
Looking at swatches online, I decided to go for the semi sweet and not the original. The colors appealed more to my type and personal preferences. To be honest, Julia (Graf) also gave me that push to buy it. Besides that, I was curious to see if it really smells like chocolate.
The palette comes with 16 colors. Two of them have a bigger pan size, that is because they are supposed to be used to highlight the brow bone, as a base color or to blend out the edges.
While swatching the palette, I was a bit disappointed. The color pay off isn't that great as I expected it to be for the price it retails ($49). However, once applied on the eye lids they did a good job. They are super soft and blend greatly. The black eyeshadow has great pigment, which is a big plus for me. There aren't that many highly pigmented black eyeshadows on the market.
Packaging: Too Faced did do a great job with the palette packaging. It is a tin palette in the shape of a chocolate bar. For chocolate lovers like me a great eye catcher. It comes with a little guide with three eye looks to make things easy for you. They have been doing this since I have been buying their palettes many years ago. It is a great way to get you started.
Scent: It is strong and very sweet. It smells like the typical holiday chocolates that taste more of sugar than chocolate. It kind of reminds me of sweet cocoa powder that is used to make hot chocolate. Do any of you know Nesquik with the little bunny on it?
My eye looks is an 'autumny' halo look. I used rum raisin, truffled and hot fudge in the crease and inner part of my eye socket. On the lid Bon Bon and Caramel.
The nude on my lips is Estee Lauder 'Insatiable Ivory'. I love this color, it is the perfect nude color, but the bullet keeps on breaking off.... It is just too soft and unstable. All three colors that I got have the same problem. Such a shame for an expensive lipstick.
The dark lip in the Insta Video is Jeffree Star 'Dominatrix'. It looks like poop in the bottle, but comes of darker once applied on the lips ;)
Do any of you own any of the Chocolate Bar palettes from Too Faced?
