Monday (Christmas Day): Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil inward Walkyrie | £21 | On Christmas Day I was towards the tail halt of a pretty bad cold, withal I was only grateful things were getting better! My lips were definitely a chip dry, thus I likely should've exfoliated earlier attempting a matte look, withal the Nars formula is soundless pretty comfortable. It has a sort of stain final result thus is a genuinely low-maintenance means to habiliment red. It fades evenly in addition to doesn't larn mess, which is what I wanted really. The reddish-brown musical note of this also makes it a wearable option.
I was at my grandparents' for Christmas alongside my mum, my aunt in addition to her husband. It's ever only a nice, relaxed solar daytime alongside my family. We start alongside a lite breakfast in addition to some prosecco, central presents (you tin can come across what I got here) in addition to receive got Christmas Dinner unopen to one-half 1. I had a genuinely dandy nut roast alongside all the classic Christmas staples. We in addition to then caught upward on Top of the Pops, had a game of Trivial Pursuit in addition to watched some Christmas classics on TV.
Tuesday (Boxing Day): Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment inward Petal | £19.50 | Boxing Day was definitely a chip of a lazy ane withal I soundless wanted to larn upward in addition to dressed in addition to lay a minimal amount of makeup on thus I didn't experience similar a total slob. I opted for my commons tinted moisturiser, cream blusher in addition to sheer lip combination featuring my honey Fresh tinted lip balm. I love these - although they're pricey, I've to a greater extent than than got my travel out of them! The formula is only thus creamy in addition to nourishing in addition to this adds a launder of warm pinky-nude colour.
Both myself in addition to my mum got the develop to my grandparents' in addition to every bit there's no world carry on Boxing Day, nosotros were a chip stuck! I estimate the solar daytime moved past times a chip quicker because I didn't genuinely larn upward until virtually 11am, which is pretty different me. However every bit I soundless wasn't 100%, I'm certain it did me good. After yesterday's matte lip, I was glad to live wearing something genuinely hydrating!
Wednesday: Maybelline Creamy Matte Lipstick inward Clay Crush | £6.99 | This was the solar daytime I hadn't been looking forrad to! And alongside proficient reason, it transpired... I grabbed Clay Crush to throw on ane time I was on the develop because it's a shade I tin can ever trust. It's rattling comfortable in addition to doesn't cling to dry out patches on my lips. It gives a matte complete that lasts genuinely good too. The color itself is a rattling warm terra cotta brownish mid-toned nude.
Unfortunately I didn't plug inward my telephone to accuse properly overnight in addition to thus it died earlier my warning had a run a hazard to larn off, thus I was out of bed alongside virtually xx minutes to spare earlier nosotros had to leave! Somehow I got upward in addition to presentable inward fourth dimension (luckily I'd had the feel to pack the nighttime before) in addition to got to the station inward time. Unfortunately my develop was in addition to then delayed, thus I arrived inward the component subdivision a sweaty mess, having power-walked alongside all my bags! The solar daytime itself was surprisingly hectic given the fourth dimension of year, though I suppose I was the solely ane inward on my team. I got a quaff alongside a colleague at lunchtime which made me experience a chip amend earlier heading home. I genuinely redid my makeup (considering how rushed I'd been that morning) earlier heading out to dinner alongside a friend at a genuinely overnice Thai eating seat inward Birmingham called Sabai Sabai but I stuck alongside the same lipstick. I had a genuinely overnice eve catching up, withal ane time I got dwelling it was fourth dimension to pack for Amsterdam!
Thursday: Urban Decay Vice Comfort Matte Lipstick inward Carnal | £15.50 | It was finally fourth dimension for me to wing out to Amsterdam alongside my friends on the Thursday! I opted for ane of my signature lip shades because I wanted to hold off overnice in addition to knew nosotros would brand it inward the metropolis in addition to desire to dump our bags earlier heading instantly dorsum out. This is a non-drying but long-wearing truthful matte formula. It has an opaque complete in addition to the color is this gorgeous deep reddish-brown nude.
My flying wasn't until mid-afternoon thus I took the morning time to complete my packing in addition to laundry, every bit good every bit to accept a few quick weblog photos in addition to play alongside some of the novel products I was kindly given for Christmas. I had quite a chip of fourth dimension to kill at the airport, every bit at that topographic point wasn't genuinely a queue to drib my pocketbook or at security. Annoyingly my flying was in addition to then delayed past times proficient onetime Flybe... withal it was solely past times an hour, important that I genuinely arrived inward Amsterdam at the same fourth dimension every bit my friends. It's a genuinely curt flying from Birmingham - only an sixty minutes - thus nosotros arrived at the hotel unopen to vii in addition to got changed earlier heading out for dinner. We had a genuinely dandy repast at a Vietnamese eating seat called Bo Nam - nosotros shared lots of picayune dishes in addition to had a few drinks. We were wandering circular inward search of a bar when nosotros literally only met some American tourists inward the street in addition to ended upward hanging out alongside them. Our planned early on nighttime speedily turned into a one-half iv finish. Whoops...
Friday: ColourPop Matte Lippie Stix inward Brink | $5 | It was a chip of a scramble to live prepare for our 11am banking venture gibe out! However, because I knew I wouldn't genuinely larn a instant to touch-up my makeup later, I only did a total face. One of my trusted lip colours is this ane from ColourPop - it has a creamy formula, thus isn't totally matte, withal the complete is rattling opaque. The color is a wearable taupe-brown alongside pinky undertones that lasts good on me.
We headed dorsum towards Amsterdam Centraal in addition to decided to kill some fourth dimension alongside brunch, every bit the residual of our grouping were due to brand it early on afternoon. We did larn on a chip of a trek (with all our bags!) earlier coming across Cut Throat - a hairdresser store alongside a window instantly through to a bar in addition to restaurant... I had a genuinely dandy plate of crimson velvet waffles alongside caramelised banana (check it out here, along alongside everything else nosotros got upward to). Our friends were delayed thus nosotros had a few drinks in addition to spent a piece inward the eating seat earlier they finally arrived in addition to nosotros headed over to where ane of them lives inward De Pijp. The apartment was pretty amazing! We didn't genuinely receive got long to relax at that topographic point though, because of the delay, every bit nosotros had tickets to the Anne Frank House for that evening. We had dinner somewhere nearby (called Bar Kitchen Tuin 10) - my nutrient wasn't dandy but nosotros didn't genuinely receive got fourth dimension to abide by anywhere else! Having read Anne Frank's diary when I was a teenager, this was ane of the things I most wanted to do. Although I already knew a lot of the information surrounding her story, it was surreal to live inward the actual edifice in addition to listen the words from the people inward the Annexe. It is apparently a tourist attractions thus doesn't experience peculiarly intimate, withal I soundless establish the see rattling powerful in addition to emotional (though it was pretty cathartic to write inward the invitee mass at the end).
Saturday: Dose of Colours Matte Lipstick inward Truffle | £16 | We genuinely decided to receive got our big nighttime out on the Sat in addition to exercise something slightly quieter for New Year's Eve itself, every bit at that topographic point was a lodge nighttime on that ane of our grouping had been to in addition to genuinely recommended.

I decided to larn alongside Truffle, a pinky-brown cool nude inward ane of my favourite liquid lipstick formulas. It's only thus comfortable, but genuinely long-wearing in addition to totally matte.
We got brunch at a overnice identify inward De Pijp called LunchKafe Klavern (I had a dandy walnut in addition to goats cheese sandwich) earlier walking to Body Worlds. If you're non familiar alongside the concept, an anatomist called Gunther Von Hagens created a means of preserving the human torso called plastination in addition to has exhibitions showing our internal workings. Each flooring explains a different chemical component of human physiology such every bit the brain, circulation, pregnancy in addition to thus on. I establish it really interesting in addition to informative, every bit good every bit slightly surreal - I couldn't attention but wonder who the people were who had donated their bodies in addition to what their reasons were. The solely component subdivision I wasn't keen on was that they tried to necktie it all to the running subject of 'happiness', withal it didn't piece of job for me in addition to only felt similar random 'inspirational' quotes... Afterwards nosotros had a few drinks at a wine bar in addition to and then dinner at Soi74 in De Pijp. It was genuinely a genuinely cool atmosphere alongside dandy music in addition to cocktails in addition to I did savor my Thai nutrient at the time, withal I genuinely didn't experience likewise proficient afterwards! By the fourth dimension nosotros headed over to Shelter (an secret house/dance lodge on the due north side of the city), I wasn't good at all... I genuinely managed to ability through after a shaky start in addition to felt ok, thus nosotros soundless had a genuinely dandy night, withal it wasn't ideal!
Sunday (New Years Eve): Seafood Bar in De Pijp. It was a genuinely overnice restaurant, nosotros had some prosecco in addition to the nutrient was lovely. We in addition to then went for a wander circular the metropolis to come across the fireworks, withal it was a picayune chip chaotic! Around Dam Square at that topographic point were literally people throwing fireworks unopen to inward the streets... Just earlier midnight nosotros got what I tin can solely depict every bit a golf game buggy made into a taxi dorsum to the apartment to spotter the fireworks from a slightly safer spot. Because the apartment was thus high upward in addition to the windows were huge, nosotros had an amazing view. One of our friends used to DJ thus he got his kit out to play some music whilst nosotros chilled out alongside some wine. Instead of making New Year's Resolutions, nosotros genuinely brand predictions virtually each other, ourselves in addition to basis events, thus nosotros did that too!
