A little update..

I have some news for you all..
I (Kelly) started blogging a couple of years ago over on my personal beauty blog EAUSOBEAUTY, and will do so for many years to come.. After sharing what I did here on the internet with a couple of friends, they wanted to have a go at it as well. My best friend, a friend from our class and me joined forces and created 'Unlimited addictions'. A new blog was born. Offering Fashion, beauty and DIY the blog had a wide variety of people visiting our place on the internet. Unfortunately my friends can't find the time to blog anymore since going to university.. So as I am blogging on my own again I won't be posting on this blog anymore. All my blog posts will continue to go up on EAUSOBEAUTY as they have been doing all along. 

So if you guys would like to keep on reading the beauty blog posts that you have been reading on here, head on over to EAUSOBEAUTY. I'll try to add in some more fashion and other fun stuff as well :) You are all more than welcome!

It was fun having you all here, and I would love to see you over on Eausobeauty!

See you soon!

The Balm: Shady Lady

Hi everyone,

Recently I've discovered a new brand in the Belgian 'drugtores'. Much to my surprise The Balm found it's way to Belgium. American brand that provides paraben and cruelty free products worldwide. I rushed my butt over to the store as soon as I could but kinda forgot to blog about them. I had my eye on that blush for a long time now. A lot of beauty guru's on youtube rave about the Fratboy blush. So there was no doubt about it that that baby would find a new home when I saw it lying on the shelf. Review of that will follow soon.

 

The other thing I had my eye on was the Nude Tude eyeshadow palette. But when seeing it in the store it looked to much like all the other eyeshadows I already own, so I couldn't justifie buying that. But the makeup hoarder collector in me couldn't walk out with only that blush though.. So the Shady Lady happened.

Hi everyone, 

Here's a quick nail of the day for you all :)

I've been loving me some sparkle lately and I thought I should share that, cause frankly who doesn't like sparkle?! 

I'm wearing OPI's 'My Pimped Out Wonderland' (from the Astrid Bryan collection for OPI) and my newest Essie polish 'A cut above' (limited edition).  

Lots of love. 

Haul: Beauty Shopping in London

Hi everyone,

During this summer vacation I've had the time to do some traveling again and went to a city (one of them at least) that stole my heart. London has it al! I just love the people, everyone is so friendly, the vibes the city gives, not to mention the shopping.
London takes shopping for girls like us to another level..

Here's the haul of all the beauty things a got when in London:

The overview

Crocodile

Hi there,

It's been some time since we last posted, maybe there are still some lost souls wandering around on this blog, if so I have a really funky DIY for you to make!

So earlier this week I was planning my outfit for a party and my outfit was quite basic white on white, I wanted to pimp it up a bit with really fancy earrings but I couldn't seem to find the right ones.
I looked trough my stuff and found a bunch of beads, green, white. And then it came all back, the memories of me making little crocodiles in pearls when I was a toddler.

And I just decided to go for it (I was lucky i still had a lot of time before going out) 
There actually really are a lot of tutorials on how to make crocodiles on the Internet, here you have some sites i looked at for making mines: This one  and this one It's actually really simple once you get the trick! 

After making them you just have to attach an ear wire with a loop or whatever we call them and you're done! Here some pics of the final result! ( it's really cool when you have green eyes, cause it just make them look brighter. Or if you kind of an exotic jungle look ^^ And just one final hint, when you start take a really long thread, i didn't had enough of it for my firs croco so I had to start again) 


Cheers!!

London after Christmas: Part two

Hi everyone,
Here's part to of my London haul. Let's hop right in :)

After going to Gap we went to Topshop. I was looking for a hat i had seen before but couldn't find it anywhere. Anyway, I went through the rest of the store and found a really nice pair of paint is the sale section. I had been on the hunt for a sort of oxblood colored pair of pants and found exactly what I was looking for.

The picture doesn't really do the color of the pants justice but that's the best I could do with the lighting at that time.

London after Christmas

Hi everyone,
I know it's been a while since our last blog.
Well, I needed a little break and the holiday time seemed very great timing.
I'm back again and I'm going to try to work out a plan to have up at least 4 blog post a week.
Let's say I'll try to put on up every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. If I miss a day feel free to call me out on it! :) But I promise to do my very best not to let you guys down again! :)


So to begin blogging again I thought I would start by sharing what I bought in London with you all.
My parents surprised me and my brother with a surprise trip to London right after Christmas.
The day we left home and arrived in London was the first day of the sales in England, called Boxing day. All the stores start there huge sales and they last for a certain amount of time, (a month? I'm not sure). Anyway, here is an overview of what I bought.

Vera Wang: Princess

Hi everyone,
Today I want to share with you one of my favorite parfumes: Vera Wang Princess.
I first discovered this in the airport when I was on my way back home from Australia, but decided not to get it yet. After a while I started regretting that I didn't buy it and started looking for the perfume here in Belgium. It was nowhere to be found! No matter what store I tried, I just couldn't find it anywhere. Until one day, the pretty bottle found me :) My mom knew I was looking for this parfume and looked for it on line. She found it and bought it for me as a gift. I couldn't have been happier the day that box arrived! :) Yay!

 

Maybelline super stay 24 color

A while ago Maybelinne brought out this promising lipstick/lipstain. They claim it would stay on for 24 hours. When I bought it I didn't expect too much from it because usually I'm not happy about these drug store lipproducts. I wore it that same day and to my surprise it still looked pretty good after a couple of hours and even diner!

First you have to apply some sort of liquid stain. I like the the way it applies and it spreads out nicely.
The stain dries in a few seconds but it does leave a very sticky feeling on your lips. After applying the colourless libalm the feeling goes away, it gives a beautifull glos-like shine. You can also use a regular lipbalm but some of the colour will stick on on it. The included lipbalm doesn't seem to take any colour.

my name necklace :)

My name necklace is definitely my favorite piece of jewelry :)! Me and my sister got it for Christmas 3 years ago and I still wear it a lot. I'm not sure where my mom got the inspiration to buy us this.. I bet she watches sex and the city when she's home alone ;).
Anyway, it's a very simple silver one she ordered online but I don't know the website..

My favorite hair products

I have a history with lots of bad hair days.. I've got curly hair that tends to get frizzy.
I used to straighten my hair every day and of course it got super damaged! About 2 years ago I decided to stop torturing my curls and just go for a natural hair-do :).
I'm still not too happy with my hair but now I've finally found a shampoo and conditioner I'm happy about. So hooray to that! I tought I had tried everything, from cheap to 20 euro bottles and then I tried this. A shampoo for dry or damaged hair and a conditioner for normal hair. They makes my hair soft, I like the smell and on top of that they're cheap :)!

So I went shopping again...

Today I went shopping and I bought a few things :).
It's getting really cold here so I bought 2 warm sweaters (well, one warm sweater and one thin one I just couldn't resist). They both have cute prints on them but I hope you don't think they're childish..

Maybelline Color Tattoo 24HR: On and on Bronze

Hi everyone,
I now I'm really late on this, but I'm still going to blog about this product.
The Maybelline Color Tattoos have been out for quite a while now and they've slowly been coming to Europe now. One thing I did notice is that they changed the names for what seem to be the same shades as in America. The one that I have is called 'On and on Bronze' which is the same as 'Bad to the Bronze' in the US if I'm not mistaken. All the other names are diffrent as well. I have no idea why?

my new coat :)

Belgium is getting really cold and I need a warm coat!
I saw this Zara one online but they didn't sell it in my local Zara store. After having watched it online about a hundred times I finally purchased it.
I just made a collage of the look I'd like to make with this coat.

silver belt
earrings
quilted sweater
coat
jeans
bowling bag


So this is it :).
Kiss, Laure

my wishlist :)

1. Black and nude bag from baginc.
2. Purple Birkin bag look alike from iwantthatmusthave.nl (not the exact same one)
3. Naked 2 palette from Urban Decay.
4. YSL, soft fucshia lipstick.
5. Revlon, just bitten kissable lipstain.

What color lipstain do you prefer? I haven't decided yet.. It's extra hard to choose one because they don't sell them in Belgium and so I can only see the colors online..Have you got a favorite?

ps: Christmas is comming up and I've just sent this list to my mom, hope she takes a hint ;)!
Bye!

Asos cat flats

Lately I've been searching the internet for some beautiful look-alike Marc Jacobs mouse flats.
I just couldn't find a pair that I really liked until I discovered thes cute cats on asos :)! They weren't exactly what I was looking but maybe that's even better :). This way I'm not the girl with the fake mouse shoes.

 I picked the bronze ones and I absolutely love the color. Can't wait to wear them!
These ballet flats are true to size (or maybe slightly on the bigger side but I sure wouldn't go down a size if I were you) and the quality is rather good for such a great price.
The delivery was quick and correct as always with Asos :).

OPI Skyfall collection

Hi everyone,

Hex nut necklace

Aloha!

We've have been seeing a lot of hex nut jewelry recently, most of the time in bracelets like the great famous Braided Hex Nut bracelet from honestly ... wtf.

So I wanted to make my very own version and I came up with this. It's really easy, you just have to glue some hex nuts together, you can even make a shape if you want, like the batman logo or such, it depends on the size of your hex nut. If you have a high variation of sizes you could play with them even more. Hex nuts are really cheap, you can find them in any hardware store. I just used two small hex nuts to attach my chain it seemed easier to me.
I also used a trombone to attach both sides. I really like this trick because I normally never have enough stuff to close my necklaces.

I actually like the way it turned out, it looks really luxurious.

See you,

Maud.
