Our Symbol of Love

There was some interest in the design of our wedding rings and here they are.

I wanted them to be simple, classy and timeless. Normally, I'm not a big fan of gold, but this matte version turned out to be more than beautiful!




On the inside is my husbands name and our wedding date.


I never thought I would like gold, but I love them.

Love,
Guinevere

L'Oréal Glam Shine Balmy Gloss

L'Oréal sent me this nice lip balm pencil. My first lipstick pencil :)



Swaaaatches:





It feels nice on the lips, you can feel the glitter particles, but not in an uncomfortable way. The one I got isn't that opaque, but it gives you a natural, nice finish and wash of colour. It's one of those perfect products if you're in a hurry.

They will be released in August and are limited edition. 9,99€ isn't a bargain, but I think it's worth it. :-)

Love,
Guinevere

My Wedding Day

Yesterday, I got married. It was one of the most perfect and beautiful days of my life. Some pictures

The first thing was the hairdresser appointment.





A little later it was time for make up. I decided to do my own, it was a bit nerve-racking, but it worked out great. Nevertheless, it took a lot more time than usual. *gg*


Here you can see my hair, I wish I could have let it open, but it was too hot.



Eyeliner...



Tools!


Finished look:


It was an incredible day and my parents and sister had some unbelievable surprises for us. Here are a few impressions:



My unbelievable joy and surprise when I saw a bagpipe player coming towards us.







Another surprise that blew me away..


We had such a drama with the wedding cake, but in the end we had a beautiful one given to us by Honey's dad.



My sister, who planned the whole day and definitely should do it professional gave every guest a card and they wrote wishes on it for us. :)



Bridal bouquet catching time:


There were so many beautiful moments and we had the luck to have our friend Paula capture all of them. Thanks again my dear. 

So if you ask me if it was worth the stress, I can tell you yes!, but it wouldn't have been that special and extrordinary without my parents and sister who did all the decoration and organisation. I am so blessed to have them.

I hope you enjoyed this insight. Every time I look at my husbands or my wedding ring I have to smile and that's because of the love that surrounded us that day and hopefully will for the rest of our lives.

Love,
Guinevere

Tchibo Beauty Collection

Before I'll share my wedding day with you I wanted to talk about something else.

Tchibo is known for many things, coffee of course and regularly they release handy items such as cooking accessoires. Now Tchibo is taking the next step by releasing a huge beauty collection at the end of July. It really is huge! I'm gonna show you the other items soon.

Sadly, I couldn't attend their press event, but they were so kind and sent me some of their products:


Let's start with the nail polishes:




Swatch time: While the colourful polishes are of great quality, the metallic ones are streaky. :-/



On to the glosses:




Three face masks which I didn't use yet


A perfume, which smells gorgeous. I love it.





Nail design accessoires


A make up organizer


A shower towel, designed to hold your wet hair


I'm gonna do a seperate review on the perfume, which I love. A few exceptions aside, all the products are of flawless quality.

While the normal polishes were great, the metallic nail polishes were streaky. :-( You can see every brush stroke. I was quite disappointed by the quality of the glosses. They are colourless on the lips and smell like plastic. The feel really cheap.

Thanks to Tchibo for the generous package.

Love,
Guinevere
