FAIL!

Whoops...looks like I fell back into the old habit of not posting anything! Sorry!

So (I seem to start most paragraphs with this word...!) I went to the dutch part that was in Trafalgar Square, and I had an AMAZING time!!! I ended up going alone, which was fine as it meant I didn't have to explain things to people e.g why it was happening, why everyone was wearing orange, what that food was etc etc!!! Anyways going to the party defiantly reignited my love for all things dutch!!! Having lived there for 2 and a half years I knew what the celebration was about and had a good benchmark to compare it to!

I took the bus there, as it leaves from outside my house and goes all the way there, on the journey I listened to all the dutch music I had on my iPod! As we pulled up to Trafalgar Square all I could see was a sea of orange, and I could hear the music playing, I couldn't help but smile, and I got butterflies in my tummy!!! I quickly got across the road (trying to not have to wait for the traffic lights and avoid being hit by anything was interesting!!!) and got through bag check, easy, walked round all the stalls and then decided where to start properly looking for exciting things! First up I bought myself a t-shirt (orange of course) a must for any koninginnedag, in fact a must for any dutch celebration!!! I then got myself a pint of Amstel - dutch beer of course!! Found myself a spot in the sun and drunk my beer and enjoyed the dutch bands they had playing! I later went wandering again and found myself some Stroopwafels! These were my main aim to buy! I LOVE them!!! in fact my family are very jealous I have some, and they don't!!! I could save them until my next visit home, but that's a month away from now, and it just wouldn't be the same!!!!!! Anyway I got myself 2 packs of 10 Stroopwafels! I bought myself the treat of dutch chips with mayo! AMAZING!!!!

Once the band I had been waiting for came on stage, I left, this may seem odd, but since I have last listened to them perform, they have got a new lead singer, and in my opinion he was butchering all the old songs that I loved, so in protest I left, listening to the old lead singer on my iPod!!!!!

Overall I had an AMAZING day, it confirmed to me how much I miss my life in Holland, yes at the time I was 13, so life was easier, but even so, I would love to live there again one day!!! I was also so happy that the sun was out and it was beautifully warm! Just as it should be for any koninginnedag!!!

The REAL koninginnedag is April 30th, so come Friday, I will be there with my orange t-shirt and my dutch music...perhaps even a few cans of Heineken!!!

Yes, that's right, I caved and bought the other 2 palettes from the permanent collection...so here we have Chaos (pictured on the left) and Storm (on the right), I haven't used them yet, but as I haven't been disappointed with the other 2, I doubt these will disappoint!!

July Favourites

So here are 6 of my favourite products for the month of July, these are (obviously) not all my favourites, just a select few!!

1) Nivea Visage Oxygen Power Cleansing Gel

2) Pretty Quik Nail Drying Spray

3) Johnson's Dreamy Skin Facial Night Wipes

4) Cheryl Cole False Lashes by Eyelure

5) MAC Prep + Prime Eye in Light

6) MAC DazzleGlass in Bare Necessity

Things I'm loving on ASOS.com

It's no secret that I love ASOS.com, I buy alot of my clothes from them and I love how great there customer services are!

So when I was browsing today I thought I would show you 3 of my favourite items, one of which I own, 1 my sister owns, and the last I hope to get soon!

This top is fab! I actually own 3 of them yes THREE! One in white, one navy, and 1 red! These got with pretty much everything and are lightweight, perfect for the summer! Prices vary depending on colour, however most are priced at £8.

The shoes are Cheryl Cole inspired and cost £44.50, my sister recently bought these in pink (pictured), but they are also available in black leather. I tried my sisters on and they are fairly high, but she finds them really comfortable, and loves wearing them!!

Now, this clutch bag is an item i'm hoping to get eventually, i'm still undecided as to whether or not I would get enough use from it to justify buying it!! It costs £15, so not expensive but I don't tend to take bags out with me when I go out at clubbing etc! Also as you can see its quite a large clutch bag, so even if I did take it out it would probably end up annoying me!!!

Make sure you check out ASOS they not only sell women's clothing they also sell Kids/Mens/Maternity/Cosmetics and loads more! and even better they won't cost you loads!!!

Hope everyone is having a fab weekend! MakeupBecci xxx

Sleek Palettes

So here are the pictures of the 2 Sleek Palettes I picked up the other day in Superdrug. The first one is the Original Palette and the 2nd is a limited edition Safari Palette. Both retail from £4.87 and I recommend picking these up if you are looking for something cheap and cheerful, but with good pigment!

I did a video talking about these palettes and I mentioned how suprised I was at how good the colours are. The more looks i'm doing with them, the happier I am I got them! I did swatches of the Original palette, but it was a bit of a mishap and there was no order to the colours, so I may or may not do it again!!

New look = latest video

So I just did a new look, using the original Sleek palette, make sure you check out my latest video for a tutorial on the look!

Today was a fairly dull day for me, I woke myself up having had the weirdest dream about a snake and a hoover...its a long and very weird story!!! However, I did FINALLY get round to hoovering my room, it really needed doing!

This weekend is the first weekend in about 2 months I haven't had anything planned/gone somewhere, so if i'm honest i'm dreading it! Since coming back to London on Monday I have been feeling very homesick and lonely! I didn't go home, but I went round England with my family seeing grandparents etc. So now i'm on a huge come down from that!

Tomorrow I really want to get down to a book store and buy Katie Price's new book Sapphire - I really love her books, very quick and easy summer read, and with all the train journeys I will be making this summer, I will have it done in no time!

I still have some of my ASOS birthday voucher to spend, i'm struggling to decide if I should save it for something amazing or just grab some stuff in the clearance!

Anyways I have rambled on again for a long while and so i'm going to either play on Sims 3 or talk to my parents on MSN...I put money on me ending up on Sims 3!

P.S WHY am I not out? Its Friday night...booo!!! =(

OK, so I have to admit, I'm not great on the whole blogging thing. However I thought I might give it a whirl!! I'm probably not going to be very good at keeping this updated, but it might be a good place for me to connect up to my YouTube channel!!

Right now I'm watching True Blood, i'm on the fourth episode of the first season, it's one of those shows that alot of people have been raving about and i'm willing to try them to see what all the hype is about! So far i'm not sure if I'm watching it to try and make my mind up about it, or if i'm watching it because I actually like it! I will probably watch the first season and then make up my mind!!!

So onto makeup as thats my area of knowledge (!!) Today I bought 2 Sleek eyeshadow palettes, the Original one and the Safari one, the Safari one is a limited edition, but i'm loving the colours! I made a video about them, I also ramble on about my new Barry M lipstick (colour 101) and the new Rimmel Max Volume Flash mascara!!

I'm still new to the whole YT thing, been making videos for nearly 3 months now, i'm getting more confident about being in front of the camera etc and hopefully it shows!!!

Lets see how these blogs go, it might be once a day or once a week, even once a month, I will mostly write about fashion & beauty, but I will occasionally blog about life in general!

Thanks for reading...if you got this far down, bear with me... I will get better at this!!!
