LUSH do-it-yourself event at Antwerp

If you ever stumbled upon my ‘Who I Am’ page, you know I love LUSH. Oh sorry, did I say love? It’s more like I worship the drawers the bath bombs lay in. I have an altar with used up jars and LUSH wrapping paper and the shower gellies haunt me in my dreams. I literally can’t walk out of a LUSH without buying something! You can imagine I was beyond stoked to read about a do-it-yourself event from my local LUSH: we would be making our own Angels on Bare Skin. Really guys, how awesome is that? Last friday I grabbed my amazing friend Meryam by her arm and dragged her along with me on our LUSH adventure!

Tag ♡ the 7 deadly sins of beauty

Something different today, sweet cakes! I’ve seen quite some tags come and go and I absolutely love reading/watching them. I found this fun, little-known beauty tag online and because I think it’s awesome to get to know the girl behind a blog, I gave it a go myself. Here goes my seven questions!

M.A.C. + Sephora haul

Hiiii peeps! Last week I went to Sephora in Breda and M.A.C. in Antwerp and, of course, I couldn’t resist buying some goodies. “Some” might not even cover all the make-up loveliness I bought. Oh, well. YOLO!

Review: Essence’s Floral Grunge mini lipglosses sets

These lipglosses make me so happy, it’s like I don’t even care what happens for the rest of the week! I saw these at the store last week and I just had to have them. I totally see myself carriying these around in my bag all spring, they’re sooo cute!

Review: Starter Set by Real Techniques + 16% discount

We all know it – if there’s one set of eye brushes that every beauty guru seems to love, it’s the Starter Set from Samantha Chapman, one half of the Pixiwoo sisters. When I told my mom I would actually promise Pixiwoo my first-born, just so I could try these out, she got kind of worried and bought me these. And I’m just going to say it as it is, lovelies: I absolutely love these Real Techniques!

Too cute to resist: samples + mini’s

Getting a mini-product in your bag is like unboxing a Kinder Surprise egg all over again. I love that exciting moment (oh, the little things in life) when you get a sample and you’ve yet to discover what it is.

I won!

You may or may not remember my plea from a couple of weeks ago where I asked if you could vote for me in Grazia’s Fashion Bloggers competition. If you do, I want to thank you very much if you voted because I won! Three days ago I went to Schiphol, Amsterdam to claim my price: an amazing tablet, a lovely lunch and a little tour through the Microsoft building.

Review: Vanilla-Lemon hand cream by Yves Rocher

Yves Rocher is one of those shops I don’t visit a lot. However, when I got a coupon for a free tube of hand cream I decided to check them out again. Officially, it’s still winter and my hands can use the extra hydratation. If you want your hands to smell like cupcakes… Keep calm and read on!

Differences: do you know them all?

What’s the difference between a BB cream, a (tinted) moisturizer and a foundation? Or a luminizer and a highlighter? And what about an eyeshadow primer and an eyeshadow base? And is there really a difference between clear nail polish and a top coat (or is it just an excuse to let us pay that dollar more)?

Get the London look: Marks & Spencer

The biggest retailer in the UK celebrated the launch of their online sites in Belgium, Spain and Germany by roadtripping with this amazingly cute (and original) London double-decker bus. What’s on board? Their newest collection, right on trend. The sweet Tiany Kiriloff from Belmodo TV was so kind to show us around and talk us through the trends for Spring!

“Do small things with great love and inspire”

A vision board is usually a collage that helps people to arrange their goals. I’m sure you’ve heard of it before! I thought I would give it a go.

I’m not really into making a collage with little pieces of magazines because I think it looks a bit silly. Sooo I gave it my own twist and that’s kinda the great thing: you can make it however you want to! No matter if you decide to take your scissors and old Vogues, make a Pinterest board or make a more modern one like I did, it’s always right. I hope you enjoy mine!
