Spotted: Emma Watson

Hi!

We spotted Emma Watson in this beautiful casual-chic outfit.
To start with we love her top!! It's so chic and it looks great on her! Oversized tops are mostly pretty, but it's hard to make them look chic too.
We also really like the skirt. It's very basic, but still has kind of a special shape, wich makes her outfit a little more unique.
Her hair is in a normal side braid and het make-up is natural, except for her lipstick.
Her shoes match the outfit perfectly and we love their pointy tip.

Alexander Wang For H&M Sneak Peek

Hi,

Last friday these pictures of the collection by Alexander Wang for H&M were brought into the world.







As you can see Alexander Wang choose for a sportive style and a lot of black like always. We can't wait to see the rest of the collection, because for now we think it's all a bit too special and maybe not so wearable for normal people. But we will see in november the 6th when the collection will be released.

How to Correctly Apply Concealer

Hi,

A while ago we posted about Maia's new concealer, Time Balm from The Balm. It's a really great concealer: it covers perfectly and it looks so natural!
But a good concealer isn't everything. If you want your concealer to totally cover your dark eye circles, you first have to make sure you apply it right! Many people just apply a thin line direcly on their eye circles, but we recently found out that it's better to spread it out even more.



As you see, it makes a huge difference!

3 Trends Of New York Fashion Week

Hi,

Fashion Week in New York is over, now it is Fashion Week in London. But before we're going to talk about that, let's take a final look at the New York Fashion Week. There were 3 trends spotted that we will tell you in this post.

The first trend is stars and floral prints. As you may already have seen in our post about the Tommy Hilfinger collection, the star print kept coming back in there clothes. But in the collections of for example Jeremy Scott and Carolina Herrera they used a lot floral prints. So next spring these two prints will deffinitely be a trend.

Black and white never really goes out of style, but we spotted a lot black and white in New York Fashion Week. Diane Von Furstenberg used almost only black and white (with sometimes another popping color) in her collection.We really loved her collection too by the way, it's very wearable and chic. But also Marc Jacobs, Thakoon, Proenza, Schouler and Versus by Versace used lots of black and white in there collection.

The last big trend on New York Fashion Week is light, flowy and summery. Diane Von Furstenberg also showed a lot light, flowy dresses with that summery colorful touch. And not only Diane Von Furstenberg, but also Ralph Lauren, Jeremy Scott, Nicole Miller and DKNY.

Time Balm Concealer by The Balm

Hi,

School started again and that means getting up early... And that results in getting puffy eyes and dark circles :( But Maia was already forseeing that, so she bought herself a new concealer.



She chose Time Balm, a concealer from The Balm. If you've read some of our other posts too you might know this brand, for excample from our post 'Cosmetics with the cutest packaging'.
The package from Maia's Time Balm isn't that very special, but it still looks soooo cute! :D Just the name is cute already!
It isn't excactly the cheapest concealer she could find (it was around €17), but we hear good things about this brand all the time, so we really wanted to test out some of their products.



As you see, along with the concealer, you get a little sponge. Most people just apply their concealer with their fingers, but a little sponge can be really usefull too. You can apply concealer more precicely with your fingers, that's true, but a sponge helps you to spread it out more equally because it absorbs it a little. And also it's just really really soft :)

Many concealers are very thick and smudgy ort just too dry and they're hard to apply, because you've easily used too much of them. You probably know what we mean :) But this concealer is nothing like that! It's still a bit thick, but not too much and it has a great texture! This also makes it way easier to apply. It isn't heavy at all and you don't feel you're wearing it at all.



The Time Balm comes in nine different colors. Maia chose the 'Light' one, wich is perfect for her skin. As you see in the picture above, where she tested out her concealer on her hand, it's lighter than her own skin, but not too much. On the picture it seems like a big difference, but you should also consider that your hand are always a bit more tanned than your face.
The 'Lighter than light' one is still a tone lighter, but this one is better for Maia.

Altough it's almost the same color as her skin, it makes a huge difference! Of course it doesn't hide her eye circles completely, but it reduces them more than any other concealer she's ever had. Maia uses it daily now, and she couldn't miss it anymore! It cover so good and you don't even need to apply a second layer.
