OOTDs & FOTDs exam week #2

Hi there! So this week was my second week of exams. And just like the previous week I posted OOTD's and FOTD's on my instagram, which I am going to share with you right now.

This week the weather was much nicer than previous week, so my outfits and make up is a bit more spring-y-ish. My new purchases for spring also finally arrived this week, so you will get to see some new items.

Monday I had my history exam which I was quite nervous about. History is not my best subject, but the exam actually went really well!

Clothes:

Nude Blazer (new): Miss Selfridge

(nearly sold out online, think I got the last one in my size)

White Tee: New Look

Black Jeans: H&M

Shoes: Primark

Bag: Van Haren (Dutch)

Make Up:

Because it was a gorgeous spring day I decided to go with minimum make up, so I just put some Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in 115 on my blemishes and filled in my eyebrows using the 5th colour of the bottom row from my Zoeva Nude Palette.

I also used my Bourjois Kohl & Contour Eye Pencil in 71 ultra black to line my eyes ever so slightly and added my Lancôme Hypnôse Mascara to my lashes.

Hair:

Tied up in a ponytail with some nice curls.

Tuesday it was time for my maths exam, which I couldn't finish because I didn't have enough time, but the questions I did answer went very well, so I will still be able to get a sufficient mark.

Also my new disco pants arrived, which I wanted to wear immediately. I don't really think everybody liked them, but honestly, I don't really care, because I love them so, so much.

Clothes:

Grey Tee: Asos

Black Disco Pants: Ebay

Necklace: Primark

Shoes: Primark

Make Up:

I again opted for minimal face make up and used my Maybelline Fit Me Concealer again. But this time I added some warmth and contour with my Sleek Contour Kit in light.

I filled in my eyebrows using the same Zoeva eye shadow and added winged liner on my eyes using the L'Oreal Paris Super Liner Ultra Precision in black.

I tight lined my eyes with the same Bourjois eye pencil and added mascara.

On my lips I wore a Barbie pink colour which is an Etos Colour Balm, without a name and only available in the Netherlands.

Hair:

I wore my hair in a high ponytail again, but went this for a messy look this time, instead of pretty curls using my Toni & Guy Sea Salt Texturising Spray.

(I will soon do a post on other hair products I'm using on a daily basis, so keep an eye out for that.)

On Wednesday I had my exam I was most frightened of, which is Fench. I'm terrible at French terrible. But..... But.... It went well. And with that I mean that I got somewhere between a 4.5 and a 6.5. Even a 4.5 would be a good grade for me, that's how terrible I am.

Clothes:

I wore the same Disco Pants (oops twice in a row).

The shirt I'm wearing is actually a dress, which I just tucked into my trousers.

It is from Zara, but I bought it a while ago, so it's sold out now.

I'm also wearing the same shoes which are from Primark.

And my cat wanted to be in some pictures again.

But I just think she was just wishing me good luck on my French exam, because she new I needed it.



Make Up:

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer, this time a bit more for a flawless face.

Bourjois Healthy Balance Powder in 52 Vanille.

Sleek Contour Kit in light

Sleek Blush by 3 in lace, using the colours Crochet and Guipure

Estee Lauder Eye Shadow Duo in raisins, using only the pinky/peachy colour

Zoeva Nude Palette for eyebrows and the last two colours to line my top and bottom lash line.

Bourjois eye pencil to make the liner even darker.

L'Oreal Paris eye liner for a teeny tiny wing.

Lancôme Mascara

Tanya Burr Lip Gloss in first date.

Hair:

For some reason I woke up with very curly/wavy hair, so I decided to just leave it like that.

The only thing I did was pinning it all to one side, so I wouldn't be annoyed by my hair being everywhere during my exam.

And then it is today. Today was the only day I had two exams, which were Geography and English. Geography went quite good, and I think English as well, but I had trouble to stay awake during my English exam, because I only slept for 3.5 hours and already had been sitting in the gym making exams for a total 4 hours that day. However... on to what I'm wearing:

Clothes:

Lace SleeveWhite Top: Miss Selfridge

Black Jeans: Primark

Shoes: Primark

I think this outfit could have used a nice dainty necklace, but I didn't wear one today.



Make Up:

Same face make up as yesterday

MAC Woodwinked eye shadow

L'Oreal Paris eye liner

Bourjois eye pencil

Lancôme mascara

Tanya Burr Lip Gloss in Afternoon Tea

Hair:

I wore my hair in a messy bun today, just to be quick and easy.

And that's it guys! My exams are over, done, finished! I'm still not realising that my summer holiday has begun, but that will be all fine once I'm in Blanes, Spain next Tuesday!! I can't wait!

If you have still some exams to do, I wish you all the luck in the world!

If you need some tips for revision, I've done a blog post in which I wrote down 20 tips which will help you revise, which you can check out if you click this link. (:

Also.. please let me know which outfit was your favourite and if you like me to do OOTDs and FOTDs more occasionally.

My favourite outfit is probably number 3, but I'm also really in love with my new top from Miss Selfridge. I just feel like 4 was missing some accessories.

Thank you for reading and commenting!

Love you! Bye!!!

OOTDs & FOTDs Exam Week #1

Hello everyone. I thought I would write a quick blog post between my many hours of revision.
Before the exams started I set myself a challenge. During test weeks I usually neglect myself a bit. I really enjoy getting ready in the morning, doing my make up and picking my outfit and deciding how to wear my hair that day. However when you're so busy revising for tests you can spend your time better than on getting ready in the morning and you end up going to school without make up and wearing leggings or yoga pants.
Now please don't get me wrong, it's not a problem to go to school without make up and in yoga pants at all, that's perfectly fine. The reason why I set myself a challenge is because, like I said, I enjoy getting ready in the morning and I don't want to skip it this time. Furthermore knowing you look put together instead of looking like you just got out bed 20 seconds ago, makes me feel better and ready for the day to go and do those exams and get my diploma.
So I decided that I would take my time each morning to do my make up, decide how to wear my hair and pick my outfit, because it simply makes me happy.
I've been posting my OOTDs and FOTDs on instagram and thought it would be fun to share them with you on my blog telling what I've been wearing this week. There is a link to every item I could find online.
And to everyone else who's also taking exams good luck!!!!

I'll start of with what I'm wearing on my face, which is the same for every day:

I didn't wear any foundation, because my skin is quite good at the moment so I just put some concealer on which is the Maybelline Fit Me concealer in number 115 Fair. I pat the concealer in using my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush. I then set the concealer with my Bourjois Healthy Balance Powder in the colour 52 Vanille, which I applied with my Real Techniques Setting Brush. Next up I applied my contour using the Sleek Contour Kit in light, which I applied in the hollows of my cheeks, on the temples, the forehead, the jawline and the sides of my nose using my Zoeva 127 Luxe Sheer Cheek brush (and ring finger for my nose). I then applied my blusher using the same Zoeva brush. The blusher I used is the Sleek Blush by 3 in lace. I applied the orange colour named Crochet to the tops of my cheeks and applied the pink shimmery blusher named Guipure on my cheekbones as a highlighter and a tiny bit on my forehead, down my nose and on my chin to give myself a healthy glow. I then give everything a last little blend with my expert face brush to give it a natural effect. I fill in my eyebrows using the 5th colour on the bottom row from my Zoeva Nude Palette using an angled brush from HEMA (Dutch store) and that's my face done.

Let's get on with each individual outfit and the rest of the make up.

I started my exams with Dutch on Monday, which went quite well actually. I wore quite a simple and black outfit, because the weather was really grey and it was raining a lot and I didn't feel like wearing something colourful.

Denim blouse: Primark

Black Jumper: H&M

Black Jeans: H&M

Black Boots: H&M (Sold out)

Necklace: Primark

I wore my hair in a ponytail to keep it out of my face, and took my fringe out but pinned it back to make it look a bit more interesting and put together.

On my eyes I wore:

Etos Eye Primer (Dutch Brand)

Rimmel London Scandeleyes Shadow Stick in Bad Girl Bronze

Blended out using Zoeva 227 Soft Definer brush

L'Oreal Paris Super Liner Ultra Precision in Black

Bourjois Khol & Contour Eye Pencil in 71 Ultra Black
Which I used to tight line my eye and applied a bit on my lower lash line.

I curled my lashes using an eyelash curler from Etos

And applied mascara on both my upper and lower lashes using my Lancôme Hypnôse Mascara which was a gift from my boyfriend ♥

On my lips I wore:

Tanya Burr Lip Gloss in Afternoon Tea
Which I dabbed very lightly on my lips.

On Tuesday I had my second exam, which was arts. This exam was quite tough, but I think I will still get a sufficient mark (hopefully). I wanted to go for a nerdy chic kind of style and wore my hair in a messy top knot.

My outfit is:

White Blouse: Wibra (Dutch)

T-Rex Jumper: Zara (last year)

Black jeans: Primark

Boots: H&M

Necklace: Asos
I wish I had a pair of nerdy glasses to add to the nerdiness, but I don't have them.

For my make up I didn't wear any eye shadow but went for winged liner instead.

To create this eye look I used:

L'Oreal Paris Super Liner Ultra Precision in Black

Bourjois Khol & Contour eyepencil in 71 Ultra Black
Which I used to tight line my eye and applied a bit on my lower lash line.

I curled my lashes using an eyelash curler from Etos

And applied mascara on both my upper and lower lashes using my Lancôme Hypnôse Mascara

On my lips I wore:

Etos Colour Balm, which doesn't have a name, but it's the Barbie pink one.

My third exam was yesterday (Thursday) which was management & organisation and was really difficult. I'm terrible at it. So I cheered myself up with wearing a bright outfit. And I was going out for dinner with my boyfriend afterwards, to take a little break from revision, so I wanted to look extra nice. 

Bright pink jumper H&M (last year) (similar)

White Blazer: H&M (similar)

Black Jeans: H&M

Black Boots: H&M

Necklace: Primark

I had to rush this day so I threw my hair up in a messy pony tail, which I would probably have done anyway, since it goes quite well with this outfit.

On my eyes I wore:

Etos Eye shadow Primer

Estee Lauder Eye Shadow Duo in Raisins

I only used the peachy pink colour which I applied all over my lid using a flat HEMA brush and blended it out with my finger.

Using the last two colours in the Zoeva Nude Palette as an eyeliner on both top and bottom lash line using the angled brush from HEMA.

Bourjois Khol & Contour eyepencil in 71 Ultra Black
Which I used to tight line my eye and applied a bit on my lower lash line.

I curled my lashes using an eyelash curler from Etos

And applied mascara on both my upper and lower lashes using my Lancôme Hypnôse Mascara

I wore nothing on my lips, just a bit of lip balm.

And that's it! I hope you've enjoyed reading this little post, which was supposed to be a quick one, but is already taking me more than two hours. (Oops). Let me know what you thought of my outfits and make up and tell me which one is your favourite. I think mine is outfit #2 because well... Dinosaurs.
Also let me know if you want to see more and I will be posting my outfits I will be wearing next week for my exams too.

How are your exams going? Hope you're doing better than me. Good luck!
