I must say I'm getting quite bored with having sinusitis for the second day. I can not do anything so while lying in bed and watching some movies, I watched a great one I must say. It was On the road. I also finally came up with a great idea for my Halloween costume. I really want to tell but on the other side, i also don't because then the whole surprise is gone. All i can say, that's it includes duct tape bags maybe some staples and some sparkles for decoration.
Here's the trailer of the movie.

The Wedding Cake Project
One of my hobbies is decorating cakes for occasions. Last weekend I had the opportunity to create a wedding cake for a wedding party I had on this weeks Monday.
The plan
First I made a plan and drawing of what i wanted to create
The result
The plan
First I made a plan and drawing of what i wanted to create
This is what the cake should going to look like. I went to the store and bought what I needed. Rolling fondant, color paste and something really awesome: edible sparkle powder.(I skipped the roses. Would be to much)
The process
 |
| making Royal icing |
 |
| create pink fondant with color paste |
 |
| the butterflies in the cardboard mall. They have to dry before putting them on the cake |
 |
| strawberry marmalade on the cake, on top there will be custard |
The result
Because I was so busy with putting those little balls an butterflies on the cake, I totally forgot to take pictures during the actual decorating.
 |
| There it is the result. the names are made of chocolate |
 |
| sparkles on the wings of the butterflies |
 |
| here you see the sparkles very clearly |
 |
| In the cake box |
Decorating a cake takes actually more time then just baking one but it is absolutely worth it. I'm really proud on myself and the cake.

Essence Fruity Nailpolish collection review
The Fruity Collection from Essence contains five colors of nailpolish, a fruity topcoat, a sealing topcoat and fruity figures to put on your nails. The only thing for the nails that i did not buy where those figures because they where sold out.
From the 5 colors of nailpolish, 3 are with sparkles. The other two are shiny pastels. In the picture you can see them with the names.
If you out on 2 layers, it gives a semi transparant color. I like that, because it looks like sumemr should do: light, and sunny. When you put on 3 layers It gives a high opaque and matches the color in the bottle. To give you the idea about the 2 and 3 layer difference, i've made some photo's with 2 and 3 layers.
Then there are the 2 top coats. The Fruity smelling top coat smells sweet as in tropical lemonade syrup sweet. If you do not like sweet smell that will stay for more then one day. Do not use it. Else just enjoy the sweet smell.
The sealing topcoat is actually made to seal the fruity figures on top of your nails. But you can use it also as a normal topcoat on the nailpolish, like i do.
Still available at stores where they sell Essence. In the Netherlands you can buy it at Kruidvat. The nailpolishes you can buy for €1,79. the topcoats are €1,99

Essence nail colour 3 review
Essence has released a new nail polish collection. The collection exists of duo colors. You can use the colors separated or layer them on your nails. I Bought: 02 shopping trip in Soho
At the moment you can buy them in 6(actually 12)colours which you can see on the website
First the packing. This nail polish comes in cylinder shaped bottles connected with a middle part, the brushes. If find the packaging very useful. Because of the cylinder shape and also the right thickness it is very comfy to paint your nails.
Colors: I like the colors. The are very bright. And do all contain a glitterpolish in the bottle on the other side.
Price: not expensive. they are €2,79.
Review Essence nail colour 3: 02 shopping trip in Soho
In this photo, the pink nailpolish named: shopping trip in soho. This is a shimmering pink colour. I have to layers on my nails. It's a nice pink colour
In this photo I've putted the glitter polish named: party all noght long on top of the pink colour. This turns the colour into an dark colour of pink with a little sparked. Like a lovely Barbie Pink. Personally i think the sparkles could have made a little bit more present. But it still gives a nice effect.
I was curious about how it would look the other way around(first sparkle layer then the pink polish. Since I already painted my own nails, The next photo's are my moms nails.
This is the party all night long polish. Hope it is visible enough because of the flashlight. It is an semitransparent polish in a dark pink.
On top of the sparkle layer, I've putted the pink layer, shopping trip in Soho. It has quite the same effect as the first combination. but now you will get a shiny dark pink.
I think I will buy some more of this polishes since I do like them.

Testing the I love Berlin eyeliner
I one of my latest posts I just talked about the amazing jar of the eyeliner. Now it is time to try it.
I will do a short review of it.
The color of this glittering black eyeliner is called, 04 Berlin Story. I actually never use brush eyeliners because I always thought it was very hard. But I must say, with a little bit of practice I get better and better when I us it.
This is on the hand. To show the color. The line on my hand is thicker than the brush gives. I made it ticker just for the photo. As you can see the glittering in the eyeliner is almost not visible. But the eyeliner has subtle silver coloured sparkles in it.
On the eye itself the eyeliner does not smudge. When practicing, I found out, the less eyeliner you put on the brush the better it goes. With more it will run trough the eyelashes because it does not dries very quick.
This is how it looks on my eyes. It does not look very neat. It is only to show how it looks.
Because of this eyeliner was one from a limited edition line, you probably will not find it anymore. BUT Essence just brought out a new line of eyeliners named glam liner. this glam liners also have the little sparkles that the I love Berlin eyeliner has.
You can find them here Essence Glam liner
