Products I can't live without ...

Hi everyone! It's monday, that means a new beginning of a week. And of course everybody is complaining, we don't want to get out of bed. We don't want to work, or learn for that matter. So why not start our week with giving our selves an beauty day? I mean we all deserve it right, after an long week and at the beginning of an new week.

And I wanted to share my favourite products i can't live without. So as you know, my skin is very dry. And has always been that way. For me the products I can't live without are definitely my moisturizer, eye cream etc.

My list of products i have to have :
  • Moisturizer, for dry skin that's a MUST!
  • Eye cream.
  • Cleansing milk.
  • Tonic.
  • Peeling.
Like, if i don't have any the products i seriously freak out! I mean i could live without cleansing milk and tonic. But the moisturizer, no FREAKING way (haha)! Now i've told you mine, you have to tell me yours! Leave a comment and let me know. I hope you liked it. I'll blog you later!

Random blog

Hi there! First of all, how are my readers doing today? Let me know in the comments ! So it's sunday and that means I get to blog about anything I want. Whether it makes sense, or no sense. That could be possible to. Want to read more rambling and nonsense, well than keep on reading!

My week has been pretty good actually. At school my teacher corrected my tests and I made all of them pretty GOOD! Wich I am so happy about! Actually, it's no wonder. Because my class is on the best classes of my course! It's because we had the best teacher in the world. She is seriously so good. She can be strict, but only if you're annoying in class(wich totally makes sense).  And I didn't work at all this week during school, wich i'm kinda relieved about because during the holidays last year i worked so much.

And i went shopping this week! Yay ! I bought so much stuff, including my new camera. Yes , yes. I finally purchased my camera. I bought so much make-up. I think i have to film a haul next to show you guys what i bought. What do you think? I have to wait till tomorrow, because i ordered sleek palette's and some china glaze polishes(finally!).

Anyway, this was an short random blog. And i know, it totally makes no sense at all. So now i'm going to do my make-up and hair. Because i'm going to watch Tron Legacy with my little brother later at the movie theater. I'll blog ya later !!

SALE!

Hi there! So it's january and that means SALE! Pretty much every store has products that are at sale. Wich is kinda amazing! Well, it's the end of january. But still, there's still sale everywhere.

So I don't get paid till the end of the month. And i was like, GRR. I can't buy anything from sale. Well, guess what? I was so wrong. Because i got so many products for an bargain. Like seriously. So i was at this store, called Etos. Wich is like an high end/drugstore kinda store. And on every product of garnier it was buy one, get one free. And i was like, YES! I can finally buy the garnier cafeïne roller for dark circles. And normally they are like €15 each. And i was at the store and i got another 20% off. So i only paid like €10 for two eyerollers. Normally i would pay €30. That's what i call, SHOPPING !

So I say. Before january is over, go and buy everything ! While it's still on sale. You can save some money with all of these sale's going on. Anyway, i hope you liked my short piece about sale. I'll speak to you tomorrow with my usual random blog! Bye ...

Inecto Pure Coconot , shampoo&conditioner review

Ever heard about Inecto? Inecto sells products with pure coconot oil in it, they also sell products with coconut milk. Anyway, I heard about this shampoo and i was like. That's interesting, I need to buy and try those products. I've been using it for over an month now, and i'm actually really surprised about the result. Keep on reading!



The pure coconut shampoo supposed to be "moisture infusing". Well, for people with regular straight hair I recommend this shampoo. Because it just works for people with straight hair. As for me, not so much. I have really, really curly hair. And when I say curly, I mean like really curly. And it's really thick also, wich pretty much leaves me. With dry, thick, curly and frizzy hair. Wich pretty sucks, haha! So when is used this shampoo it did reduce my frizzyness. Because it contains 100% coconut oil(well, that's what packaging says!), and coconut oil is supposed to reduce frizzyness. And it really did. But didn't make my hair it soft at all, my hair stayed dry. It just didn't work for my hair. But that's just my opinion, I mean maybe it works for your hair. And it was only like 3 or 4 euro's, wich is a bit more in dollars but it's still cheap though. It's still worth trying.


And then the conditioner. Well, I was actually surprised because the conditioner really actually works on my hair. Wich is pretty awesome and amazing at the same time. Because most drugstore shampoo's and conditioner do not work for my hair. But this conditioner is amazing.  It really softened out my hair, and really moisturized my hair(LOL, that sounded weird). And i read the descripiton and the conditioner has absolutely no sulfate in it. I think that's why it worked. The conditioner is the same price as the shampoo and they both contain 500 ML. That's a lot, because it lasted it so long. I don't wash my hair every day, i wash it 2 or 3 times a week. Because believe it or not, washing your hair every day. Is really bad for you hair.

I hope i was helpfull today. I'll blog you later! Bye ...

Coastal scents brushes!

Hoi allemaal. Zoals je kunt zien, schrijf ik vandaag een post in het Nederlands! En dat zal oko zo blijven, want elke Dinsdag schrijf ik alleen maar posts in het Nederlands. Zodat niet alleen mijn internationale(en engelse) viewers kunnen meegenieten van mijn blog. Want een post in het Nederlands is toch net iets leuker !

Anyway , laatst was ik op zoek naar goeie brushes. En natuurlijk denken we dan allemaal aan Sigma en MAC. Maar dan heb je ook Coastal Scents. Coastal Scents is amerikaans merk dat vooral erg bekend staat om de 88 palette. Niet alleen de 88 palette hoor, ze hebben verschillende palette's zoals de 40 palette, lip pallette, foundation palette. En noem maar op, je kunt eigenlijk eindeloos doorgaan.

Maar niet alleen palette's natuurlijk. Ook brush sets, die redelijk goedkoop zijn. En ik heb er veel goede dingen over gehoord. Natuurlijk ben ik meteen gaan zoeken. En ik heb een webshop gevonden die Coastal scents verkoopt en in het nederlands is. Welke?  Het is http://www.enchantra.eu/ . De brush wordt verkocht in een set van 15 met de onderstaande brushes :

  • Grote poederkwast - 7 ¾
  • Kleinere poeder/blusher kwast - 7.5"
  • Schuine blusherkwast - 7.5"
  • Foundation Taklon - 7 1/4"
  • Doe Foot Shadow - 7"
  • Grote oogschaduw blender - 7 1/4"
  • Medium ovale oogschaduw kwast - 7"
  • Klein plat detail kwastje- 7 1/4 "
  • Wimper/Wenkbrauw kam - 7.5"
  • Synthetisch Lippenkwastje - 7.5"
  • Synthetisch medium oogschaduw kwast - 7"
  • Taklon schuine eyeliner kwast - 7"
  • Kleine ovale oogschaduw kwast -7"
  • Lash Fan Applicater - 7"
  • Ronde Crease kwast - 7"


15 Brushes, that's a lot! Bij enchantra worden ze verkocht in de kleuren Magenta(diep roze) en Bronze. Maar op de website van Coastal Scents zelf heb je ze ook in andere kleuren en je heb zelfs ook limited edition sets op http://www.coastalscents.com/ . Bij enchantra kost de brush set €39,95 / $39,95 . Dus in dollars of euro's, het maakt allemaal niet uit! En bij enchantra zijn ze trouwens ook nog goedkoper. Want omdat zij een tijdje offline zijn geweest hebben zij een kortingscode die 20% geeft op alles wat je besteld! That's pretty awesome ! Kijk even op de website van Enchantra, zoek naar de nieuwsbrief en je vind de kortingscode !

En ik heb de brushes zelf ook besteld. Dus komt er hoogstwaarschijnlijk wel een review. Ik hoop dat jullie dit leuk vinden. I'll talk to you tomorrow! Bye ...

    How to : keep your beauty addiction in control

    Hi there! So most of you girls who are reading this blog are addicted to beauty. And when you get paid you probably spend most of your money on make-up, skin care and other beauty related stuff. Or at least I do. And after one or two weeks, you have absolutely no money left. Do you recognize this?

    So as you know, i'm 17 years old. And i work, i go to school and i blog. I'm still in the "starters" fase of blogging. So i really make no money out of blogging. I simply have to work(well, blogging is work to, but it's so much fun), for my money. And i always, always end up buying make-up.

    Anyway here are some tips to keep your beauty addiction in control:
    • If your 17 like me, chances are you have an after school job. So at the end of the month(or whenever you get paid). Take 50 euro's of 50 dollars(whatever is similar to 50 euro/dollar). And put it in your wallet, remember that money is for you. So whether your grabbing a bite with your friend or something. You ain't stuck with no money.
    • Buy what you can afford. So if you don't have the money, to buy MAC buy drugstore make-up. It's not that bad!
    • Right before you get paid, make a list on what your going to buy for sure this month. So you'll see what you're going to spend.
    • And last tip: you do not have to buy make-up every single month. Buy it every other month.

    So that were my tips. Hope you liked it. And i'll lalala blog you tomorrow! Bye...

    Sigma brushes - Make me up collection

    So i was thinking today ... What i should i blog about? And i was like thinking and thinking and i was like i give up. When i came home from school i ate something, and then went straight to my laptop to blog. Then suddenly it hit me, SIGMA! I never even thought about it, but you can't apply your make-up without a brush. So i was like, hell yeah i'm gonna blog about Sigma.

    Sigma is a beautiful brand, with the most amazing brushes. Wich are pretty affordable. You can not get better brushes for cheaper money believe me. And if you want to invest your money in MAC brushes, that's totally up to you. But for me, as a beginning blogger. With a little budget, sigma brushes are affordable and better.

    So Sigma releases once a while an collection. And this time they released the Make me up collection. There are four brush kits, and every single one of them contains twelve brushes. These kits are sold for $99,00 . The brushes it contains are :
    • Small Angle - E65
    • Medium Angled Shading - E70
    • Large Shader - E60
    • Pencil - E30
    • Large Angled Contour - F40
    • Large Powder - F30
    • Duo Fibre - F50
    • Foundation - F60
    • Concealer - F70
    • Tapered Blending - E40
    • Eye Shading - E55
    • Eyeliner - E05
    In the colours : black, purple, pink and blue.
     



    As you can see, a lot brushes for $99,00. And i've heard everybody say these brushes are exactly the same quality as they normally would be. And the MAC aren't. But i might buy these? Should i? I'm going to buy the Sigma travel kit in nice pink(it comes a little pink clutch, how cute!). And i have MAC travel brushes, so i'm going to compare the MAC and the Sigma for you guys.
     
    I hope you enjoyed reading my blog. And lalala i will speak to you tomorrow! Stay pretty!

    China Glaze - Anchors away spring collection 2011

    Hey everyone! I know, i know. I haven't done posts like this in a while, but i'm back full time and i'm  going to try my best to post 1 post every day. So when you ask someone about nail polishes, every beauty addict is going to say either China Glaze or OPI. Or at least i would. So this collection from China Glaze is already in the stores. I don't know whether their available in the Netherlands, but if they are check out the DA drogist. My dutchies know what i'm talking about. For the USA check out Sally beauty, i know they sell china glaze for sure.

    The name of this collection is Anchors away(you may have guessed that already! LOL). The colours are really pretty and there are neutrals and brights. Personally i'd go with the brights. Just because the brights stand out and i love bright nail colours. Sometimes i even wear red in fall. Oeps! Anyway these are the colours from the collection :



    Life Preserver - Highly pigmented and luxurious poppy crème
    Hey Sailor - Vibrant crème red

    Ahoy!-  Delightfully intense pink that flashes with reflective glass speck ( I want this one!!)

    First Mate - Sophisticated and rich navy crème

    Starboard - Hip and playful green crème

    Lighthouse - Multi-dimensional, bright yellow glass speck

    White Cap - Whimsical and sparkling multi-dimensional white

    Pelican Gray - High shine, cool toned grey crème

    Sea Spray  -Calming pale blue crème

    Below Deck-  A flirty mix of taupe and violet
    Sunset Sail - Delightful peachy pink high shine crème

    Knotty  -Micro-particle beige shimmer







    That were all the colours. Ain't they amazing? Oh, and the pictures are from Temptalia . So thank you Temptalia . Hope you enjoyed reading this post. And i'll talk to you tomorrow. Bye bloglovers ...

    Random blog : just rambling on and on !

    Hey everyone! So it's sunday and that means it's time for random blogging. Well, this random blog is kinda an update of all the stuff that's been going on in my life. Wich is really boring. But i'm still going to tell you. And i'm going to mention make-up also. I couldn't forget that.

    So lately i have been addicted to music. Like seriously. One the people i've been listening to the most of the time. Is Demi Lovato! That girl is amazing. Her songs are so meaningfull and i can't stop listening to her music. Hope she's doing well though. Anyway, i have been addicted to a new foundation. Yes, i switch foundations like a normal girl switches her clothes, haha! I have like 4 or 5 foundations in my collection right now. Wich is a lot. The foundation i've been using a lot is the Rimmel London match perfection foundation. I love how it's kind of medium to full coverage but at the same time it doesn't look like your wearing a lot make-up. Wich with some foundations is often the case for me. So i'll dedicate an entire post on that, be on the look out.

    One of resolutions this year is losing weight. I have been struggling with my weight my whole life(and i'm only 17). And a lot of girls my age aren't overweight, but i am. Wich doesn't help boost your confidence at all. Anyway this year, i want to start my weight loss journey. I know it's gonna be long road. But in the end it's all worth it. Because then i'm in a good shape, i'm healthy and my astma probably is gone by then. And i'm gonna write a blogpost about my weight loss every week. Wich is going to help me a lot.

    So work .... You guys know i work at this store called Blokker. Because i'm only 17 and there is just no other job for an 17 year old who is also going to school. And i work every Saturday. So yesterday there were like 3 new girls, and i bought croissants for lunch right. And this new girl she freaking ate all of my croissants, and when i asked her she simply said no. And i like knew she ate them. Haha, like it's not nice taking someone's stuff and eating it right? Anyway, i just ate something else.

    This was my random blog. As you can read, it totally makes no sense at all. Hope you still enjoy reading it. And i'll blog y'all later. Bye ...
