Haul: suncream products at Yourskin.nl

What's this? A blogpost? Wait, whut? *looks confused*

Yeah yeah, this is a new blogpost. Don't make a big fuzz about it, because I'm not sure if there will be more :P
I just ordered a little something something, and decided it might be useful for some of you, with summer coming and all :)

On with the blogpost!

Yesterday, I was browsing the internet for a new suncream for my face. I always use a daycream with SPF, but I like to have a suncream for my face in my purse aswell. My nose (and where my hair is parted) tends to get sunburned rather quickly, and since I don't want to get skincancer (or look like a lobster), I always use extra protection.
(And I like the use a new product every year, since older suncreams tend to loose their ability to protect your skin over time.)

Now, a lot of these suncreams for your face tend to be pretty greasy, or shiny, or just have an aweful smell. So I try out new products and brands every year, just to see what works for me.
This year, I stumbled upon Vichy Capital Soleil, at Yourskin.nl.
They had them on sale AND a pretty discount, I just love a good discount :).

http://www.yourskin.nl

If your ordered Vichy Capital Soleil products for a value of 15 euros or more, you'd get a 5 euro discount.
I was just going to get the Vichy Capital Soleil SPF50 Facecream - 30 ml, which was only 9,51 euro, but then I decided to browse the rest of the products. They didn't have an aftersun product especially for the face, so I decided on the Vichy Capital Soleil stick for the sensitive zones (ears, nose, etc.). That one, was 8,65 euro, but now my order was above 15 euros, so in the end, I actually payed only 3,65 for it. I think it will come in handy to touch up the nose and to have it with me in my bag. I change bags regularly, so it's nice to have an extra product to put in a (different) bag.

At the checkout, you can use the discount code for the 5 euro discount. Also, you can choose from a pretty long list of free gifts! I choose one that holds a handcream and lipbalm.Those always come in handy.

I ordered only yesterday and the package already arrived today! Excellent service!
This is what I received:

These products were the ones I actually ordered:

The suncream for the face and the stick for the sensitive zones. Together they cost 18,16. But with the 5 euro discount, they only cost me 13,16 euro.

For that amount, I also got this for free:

Vichy Nutriextra handcream and Nutriextra lipbalm.
Samples: Vichy Foundation, Vichy Shampoo, and Vichy Bodylotion.
It also included a booklet about some Vichy products with a 3,50 discount voucher at the phramacy.
It all came in this knitted pouch, because it's actually a winter carepackage.
It's worth 15,15 euro, and I got it for free, not bad!

Shippingcosts were only 1,95 euro, which is pretty low considering it was send as a package, which is normally 6,75 euro. Also, above 50 euro, shippingcosts are free.

Yourskin.nl also has a system where you earn stamps when you buy products. I already got 2 after this order, and when you have 10, you get a free product. Wow, they really want to keep their customers happy!  :)

Conclusion:
I think it's not a surprise when I tell you that I really liked ordering at this webshop. I payed only 13,16 euro for a package that was worth 33,31 euros. The shipping was only 1,95 euros. And I received my package the very next day. So if you are still looking for some suncream for your face, or just sunscreen for your body, check out this webshop, not only can you get a nice discount, you can also select your own free gift!.They also sell normal skinproducts by Vichy, La Roche Posay, etc. I'm definately keeping this webshop in mind, next time I'm looking for skinproducts.

Blog Anniversary, Personal Update

Today, it's been 3 years since I started blogging. I know I've been MIA lately, but I didn't want to go this blog anniversary go by unnoticed. So yeay, 3 years!

As most of you know, I've been unemployed last summer, due to he who shall not be named. A very long story, one that touched a lot of lives,throughout NL,  including mine.
I focused more on other hobbies in that time, and ofcourse on finding a new job. Which can be very depressing in this economy. Blogging was set aside for a while..which turned into a long while, haha.

The last few months, lots of stuff happened in our personal lives, but also with friends and family.
For example, Sid's front tooth broke off (on his birthday!?), our fridge broke down, as did both our bikes, and Loki had several emergency visists to the vet.
As aweful as it was, to almost loose my most beloved cat, all these things also cost a lot of money, and being unemployed, this didn't help on the depressing part.
I wasn't exactly in the mood for blogging, somehow makeup just doesn't seem that 'important' anymore, when people you know are in the hospital near death.

So I focused more on my books, which have been neglected a bit before, and tried to keep myself busy and positive, which wasn't always easy.

Anyway, it's december now, and thankfully, we have much more good news now.
Loki was finally healed after several close calls, and is doing great. He's back to his old cuddly self. It has been a scary few weeks, but he's doing really good and hopefully, will stay this way for many more yrs to come.

People got checked out of the hospital and are doing good, and other people at least are doing better and are seeing  developments in their situations.

He who shall not be named has -finally- met karma, and has lost his job. Unfortunately, a bit too late and many people lost his job because of him, but at least a little justice was served.
My excollegues all have other jobs now, so that's something positive aswell.

And...I've got a new job myself! I've been pretty busy with it, because we had to set up the whole store, it's all brand new. I also had to learn productinformation and such, and being around and talking to people all day at work, just didn't give me the right mindset to be online much.
I've got great collegues, and so far, I'm liking what I do :)

Right now, Sid's health is a bit low, he's been sent to the hospital for chest xrays by the doc, but they found nothing wrong there, so that was a big relief. He does have to get back to the doc for further tests, so we'll see what they find. At least his lungs and heart looked fine, which we've been worried about. He did have some bloodtestresults that were a bit off, so they are looking into that aswell. Maybe it's just because a lot of stuff is going around, and because of his diabetes, Sid gets sick pretty fast. Hopefully, it's nothing too serious.
*fingers crossed*

I'm still not in the right bloggingmood, but I might pick it up this month, or the next. I'm not sure if I'll go back to blogging 5 times a week or a bit more random. Maybe I'll just blog when I want to, or have the time for it, we'll see.
If you want to make sure you're getting the updates, just follow me on Bloglovin. Theres a button on the right, and it's the easiest way to stay up to date with blogs.

So there it is, an update and 3 years of blogging...
It's been great to read your comments, but even to see so many lurkers has made me smile. :)
It has been fun, and hopefully it will stay that way in the future.

Buhbye for now *waves*

My Halloween Look for Aurynween

Last weekend we went to Aurynween, the halloweenparty from Enchantra at the Auryn Beauty showroom.
Ofcourse we dressed up for this special occassion, but I totally failed at making pictures of our costumes and makeup.
I did make some pictures when we got home, but I didnt even lace up my corset because I just wanted to go to bed and I had been laced up all day.I had taken the corset off when we drove home. Also, apparantly I had been rubbing my eyes in the car, so my eyebrows are a bit smudged and my eyeliner has dissapeared on the inner eyecorners aswell.
Oh well, at least I took some, so you'll get the idea what I looked like.
This is going to be a picture heavy post!

I took this one with my phone while driving to the other side of the country, this is the only picture I have without smudged makeup:

I think I started getting tred right after this one(at McDonalds), and started rubbing my eyes to keep awake.

On to the pics I made at home:

Ugh! Look a those brows! And that inner corner eyeliner! I didn't even see that on cam when I was taking them, damn I was tired! Oh well *shrug* Let's ignore them from now on ;)

I used Junebug, Weekender and Magpie on the moving eyelid, but for some reason it reflected as a greyish green *frowns*

 I absolutely adore these Sugarpill lashes, they were really comfortable:

Sparklies!!!:

The Barry M dusts that I used above my crese had awesome glitter in them.

So let's partyyyyyyyy!!!!! ;)

9 yr Anniversary

We've had a bad luck period lately, and with Loki being really sick and all, I just haven't felt like blogging much. We'll see how it goes for here :)


So..... 9 years ago, my beloved decided he liked me lots, hahahaha.
I don't know how he got through 9 years with me, but let's hope he will get through lots more ;)

I don't really have pictures from our first years, because that harddrive crashed. But I did find some from our early years, so you can all have a laugh ;)

Happy Anniversary my beloved! W00p W00p!

EOTD: Autumn Eyes

Since weather has changed and it's become autumn almost overnight, I decided to play around with some autumncolours.

Products used:

Catrice:
-My Souvenir from Moon
-C'mon Chameleon!
-My first Copperware Party
-Heidi Plum
-Talk like an Egyptian

Manhattan, Kohl eyeliner, 66Q
Essence, Gellliner, London Baby

I tried every angle and every kind of lighting I had, but I couldn't get this one on cam as I wanted.
C'mon Chameleon! has this beautifull green sheen, that is completely gone on the pics, aswell as the glittery gold in the inner eyecorner. The colours are all washed out :(

I picked my colours, thinking about the falling leaves and fashioncolours for autumn. I think the plum goes really well with coppertones and green.

I used some brown gelliner, to give my lashes a bit more volume, without ruining the softness of the look.

NOTD: Rainbow Holographic Nails

In the summer, I like to wear holographic nailpolish, because it glitters and gives off rainbows and makes me happy :)
But since I have several holopolishes, it's a bit hard to decided which one I should wear.
So for once, I decided not to choose, but to use several, all at once!

Products used:
All nail lacquers by China Glaze:
Gr8, TMI, Hyper Haute, L8R G8R, DV8

The pink one is from a different collection, that's why it's not the same holo effect as the rest, but it's still really pretty.

Don't mind the cathair, my cats are weird, and always want to cuddle when I do my nails.

 In sunlight:

I really liked this mani, and I might even do it again somewhere in winter, just to cheer myself up :)

EOTD: A Velvet Vampire meets a Zombie Tramp in an Asylum

This time I tried to make a wearable EOTD with lots of red eyeshadows, and I think I succeeded!
It's such a shame I'm such a bad photographer, because these pics don't do this look justice.

Products used:

Fyrinnae, Velvet Vampire
Morgana Cryptoria, Zombie Tramp
Sugarpill, Loose Eyeshadow, Asylum
Catrice, Absolute Eye Colour, My First Copperware Party
Inglot, Eyeshadow, no. 86
Sugarpill, Pressed Eyeshadow, Bulletproof

I am definately going to us this combo of eyeshadows more often. The little line of Bulletproof made my lashes look just dark enough to not give it that crybaby look.

I really love how all these eyeshadows sparkle. For even more sparkle, I added some Inglot at the outer wing. This was hard to catch on cam, but with some bad lightning, I was able to catch the shift of the colour:

I just put on some Gosh Soft n Shine Aubergine and I have no idea what blush I used, lol. It's probably the Unbeleaf'able blush by Catrice (LE).

I really like how the red colours match the red part of my hair. Also, the red seems a bit muted, but with all the sparkle going on, it still had that special feeling to it.
