Cute Bun Ideas

Hi,

Now it's getting warmer (or at least here in Belgium it is), I like wearing my hair in a bun. It doesn't take that much effort to make, keeps the hair out of my neck when it's too warm and it can look really cute too! I don't like wearing my hair the same way every day though, so I looked up some ideas to make my buns a bit different. I'll share it with you here:

















I hope you found some inspiration to try out a cute bun yourself!

Zoella Beauty Tutti Fruity Collection

Hi,

As a true fan of Zoe Sugg I'm very excited to announce this news on our blog: her brand Zoella Beauty is going to launch a new collection called Tutti Fruity! In this collection you have a body mist, a fizz bar, a shower gel, a body lotion, a lip balm, a cosmetic purse and a scrub. The lip balm and scrub are new things she didn't have in the classic Zoella Beauty range. So this is all very exciting! The packaging is again gorgeous, just a little more colorfull this time. And it's supposed to smell all fresh and (yes you guessed it) like tutti fruity.

It's going to launch the 6th of July in Superdrug and on Feelunique.

Shoplog: Leuven

Hi,

Friday I got to spent some quality time with my mom and we went shopping in Leuven.



First we went to H&M where I got this basic pink shirt. You can't really see it on the picture, but it has a really fancy pink-greyish color.



I also got these loose shorts with roses. This is actually not really my style, but the moment I saw the cute flower print I fell in love with it!







Since it's not an easy item to combine, I went searching for a top to combine it with right away. I got this dark green one which is the exact right color, but the shorts also go great with the pink shirt I bought.

 

 I also bought some new work-out clothes there. The short is the same one I bought about a year ago, but that one's got a hole in it now.. It was a great short to go running with, so I got myself a new one. Last one was grey, but now I went for black. I also bought these socks that are made to be more comfortable to go running with. They're very thin and made from some kind of special fabric that dries quicker. And of course they've got awesome colors.

 I also went to CoolCat, a shop I don't usually buy my clothes from, but I noticed these socks and I think they're so cool! I don't know what I'll wear with them yet, but I just had to have them.



At Bershka I got this turtle neck crop-top. I really love wearing crop tops and I like the special shape this one has.





And finally I bought this jumpsuit at H&M. I think it has an adorable print and I like how it makes me look taller. I doesn't look very comfortable, but that's actually much better than I expected.

Summer sale's haven't really started yet, but it has been weeks since I had some free time and since shopping is my all-time favorite thing to do I went shopping anyway. But of course next week I'll be going again ;)

Rituals Honey Touch Rich and Nourishing Body Cream

Hi,

So I recently got this body cream from Rituals called Honey Touch and I absolutely love it! It's still not as good as the Magic Touch body cream from Rituals, that one is just my favourite body cream ever. But I do really like this one as well!

For once, I can describe its smell. On the packaging it says it has Indian rose and Himalaya honey in it and that's basically how it smells: very sweet en flowery. But again it's very unique like all Rituals' products, so its scent is very special, but I love it.

I love the consistency of this body cream as well. It feels very moisturising, but it sinks into your skin quit quickly.

This body cream leaves your skin feeling very soft and smelling amazing, so I really recommend it to you! It's a nice product to pamper yourself with.

Spotted: Lady Gaga

Hi,

And once again Lady Gaga was spotted wearing something unusual for her, but very fashionable. This time she went for a very chic and feminine suit with a tee underneath that makes it more casual. She also rolled up her sleeves and the ends of her pants for a more casual look.

For accessoires she went a bit more crazy with these fun round sunglasses and special silver heels. But it's not to outstanding and I actually think it completes the look.

I also love her cute pigtails. I think they really suit her. And they, again, make this look more casual.

It's still not an outfit I would wear, but I do like it. And I love that Lady Gaga wears more fashionable things lately!

3D Printed Glasses

 

Hi,

Last weeks post was about glasses made out of stone, but the glasses we're talking about this week are 3D printed. It's a collaboration between Materialise, a 3D printing company from Leuven, and Hoet Design Studio. The collection contains six esclusive designs, which couldn't be made without the new 3D printing technics. The collection will be presented at the Materialise World Conference in Brussels.

Yves Rocher Hydra Vegetal Riche Day Cream

Hi,

If you read my post about my Nivea Nourshing Day Cream with Almond-oil, you already know that I'm on a search for the perfect moistrurizer for my skin. And since I love Yves Rocher's products lots, I wanted to try out this day cream.

It's called the Hydra Vegetal Riche Day Cream. I'm not so fond about the smell of this product, but I do like its texture. It feels very light and fresh on your skin. And I think it helps with preventing my skin to get dry, but sometimes I do get dry patches on my skin and I have the feeling this moistrurizer doesn't really do much about it.

I won't buy this again and I don't really recommend it. So I'm kind of dissapointed about this product. This continuous the search for a moistrurizer I like!

Yves Rocher Cornflower Makeup Remover

Hi,

So I recently needed a new makeupremover, so I bought this one from Yves Rocher to try it out. I have never found a makeupremover that I really, really like, so I had high hopes for this mostly organic one.

I removes my makeup pretty well. And what I like about it is that you can also use it on your eyes. But whenever my eyes are being dry (I have no idea why, but sometimes I get a very dry skin around my eyes...) it really irritates it and it hurts lots. So I started not liking this product after that happened.

I'm also not such a fan of the texture of this product. It has this gel-texture, which always makes me want to wash it of.

So no, I'm not buying this again and no, I don't recommend this to you or at least not if you have a sensitive skin.

Korean vs American Makeup

Hi,

So, I recently saw this video that I thought was worth sharing with you! It's from a youtuber called Wengie. And in this video she talks about the differences between Korean and American makeup, which I somehow found very intereseting. She also shows the differences between the 2 in a tutorial.

I think everyone should experiment with their makeup and find out what works the best for them, because when you wear makeup you should feel as comfortable in it as possible. And trying out different cultures can help with that. And it's also just fun to change your makeup by different looks and using these different techniques.

So here is the video if you're interested in watching it:

Spotted: Lady Gaga

Hi,

Lady Gaga was spotted. Even though her style is still pretty extravagant, it's more hipster-like and lady-like then before, I really like that! She chose for this special high-neck sweater, with this highwaisted skirt.

It's not really a summer look, because the fabrics are pretty warm and she chose to wear dark greens, which is deffinitly more for the autumn and winter. But I still like this change in her warderobe even though she isn't rocking a summer look! Well done Gaga!

Sunglasses Made Out of Stone

Hi,

Beaver Bril, a Dutch brand of sunglasses, released a new collection with the original nerd framed glasses made out of stone! Even though I wouldn't buy one of these sunglasses because they basically aren't my style and because I don't think they would be that comfortable either (wouldn't it be very heavy to wear?), I do think they are very original and cool. These sunglasses are a bit more on the pricey side, considering the special material they're made out of, but if you are interested you should check out there site here.

The Body Shop Tea Tree Pore Minimiser

Hi,

I already mentioned in my previous post about The Body Shop's Tea Tree Toner, that I was going to find the perfect skin care routine for my oily skin. After cleansing and toning your skin, you should use a serum. If you hear the word 'serum' you will probably think about a product that prevents wrinkles. But what many people don't know is that another use of serums is to minimize the size of your pores and this serum of The Body Shop is a great example for that.

I, again, love the scent of this product. Like all the products of the Tea Tree collection of The Body Shop, it kind of smells earthy. This might not be your kind of smell, but it is mine. :)

This product also lasts me a long time, because a little bit goes a long way.

So these are already many benifits of this product, but does it actually work? Well, I think it kind of does. Maybe not miraculously, but it did minimize the size of my pores a little bit. Okay, I have to admit that I haven't been using this product for that long, so maybe it will really make my pores disappear after a long time, then I will let you know in a second review!

So I'm quit happy about this product and I recommend it to those who have an oily skin and are searching for a good serum.
