Kruidvat Professional Makeup Brush Cleanser

Hi,

Today it's Maia's birthday, so happy birthday Maia! :)

Today I'm reviewing Kuidvat's Professional Makeup Brush Cleanser. If you didn't know it yet, I bought some brushes of Real Techniques last year and I obviously want to take the best care of them. And not only to keep my brushes in a good condition, but also to keep it all hygienic. It's very important to clean your brushes at least once a week (if you use them daily of course).

But the problem is that I couldn't find any brush cleansers here in Belgium. The only one I could find was this one of Kruidvat itself. If you didn't know it yet: Kruidvat is a Dutch drugstore. This makeup brush cleanser was very cheap. It cost me only € 2,95 and it's quite a large bottle.

But I don't like this product at all! You need to apply a little bit on a dry tissue, to than clean your brush with the tissue. But as you can see on this picture, you can't get your whole brush clean. Well, at least not with foundation, with powders it works better. The smell of this product is horrible. It kind of smells like nailpolish remover and it has the same effect because after using this your whole room will smell like it and you will be left with a headache. On the bottle it also says you shouldn't wash the product out with water afterwards, so this smell stays in your brushes. This is also a very chemical product so the fact that you don't wash it out and later on you touch your face with it kind of scares me.


So I'm hoping that I can find another brush cleanser that I do like or I might buy something online, because I can't keep using this one!

How To Shape Your Nails Perfectly Square

Hi,

I personally prefer my nails in a round shape, but square nails can be very pretty and are definitely in fashion at the moment. But those who tried it before know that it isn't as easy as it looks to make your nails perfectly square.
Cutepolish, one of our favorite YouTubers, made a video on how to shape your nails in just the right square shape. She also gives some great tips on how to keep your nails look healthy.

Spotted at the Met Gala 2015

Hi,

Even though it's been a couple of days and the pictures are already all over the internet, I still really wanted to show you the most memorable outfits of the Met Gala. So here they are:





















Both Kim Kardashian, Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez chose to wear a very revealing dress, which they definitely stand out in, but also Rihanna really stands out with her outfit. It's overall been a very huge fashion event if you look back at all the original and special looks worn that night..

Rituals Magic Touch Cherry Blossom & Rice Milk Body Cream

Hi,

So I recently got this body cream from Rituals as a gift and since I love it so much I thought it deserved a post so I can share my love for it with you guys!

First of all I would like to tell you that I'm obsessed with the smell of this product. All the products of Rituals kind of have there own unusual, special scent and it's a love/hate thing, you either adore there smells or you don't like them at all. But I love them. And they stay quit long on your skin too. I can't describe the smell of this body cream, but I think it's very feminine.

On the package it says this is an ultra rich, whipped body cream. I completely agree with this, because it has a very thick consistency. But what you don't expect, is that it still soaks very quikly into your skin. Maybe a little bit to fast, because it makes me use a lot more of it than I normally would, but that's literally the only disadvantage I can find abou this product.

When you apply this body cream, it instantly leaves your skin feeling very soft and moistrurized. It's always a treat to use it.

I think this is one of my favourite body creams ever, so I really recommend you to try it!

How To Make Your Teeth Look Whiter (With Lipstick)

Hi,

It's not easy to make your teeth look all gorgeous and white, but just choosing the right lipstick color might already help.
The color you really have to avoid is orange. Choose red and pink colors that are more ofg a purple than of a orange shade.
Also brown shades won't do yout teeth any favors. If your going for nude, go for something a bit more glossy and pink and not too brownish.
Colors that are too bright will probably not look good for your teeth. If you want to try out something eye catching anyway, try something purple or fuschia.
