Spotted: Jeanne Damas

Hi,

Jeanne Damas was spotted at the Valentino Spring/Summer 2016 show, wearing this inspiring outfit (designed by Valentino of course).
I love how this look is very simple and chic at the same time. You can't do anything wrong with a black dress, especially when it's as pretty as this one. I personally really love long sleeved dresses, because they look so elegant. Jeanne chose to wear a simple pair of gold sandals that bring the final touch. Her lipstick is a bit more eye catching and lays focus on her face.

Shoplog: Brandy Melville in Brussels


Hi,

So I recently went to the Brandy Melville in Brussels. And it was the nicest Brandy Melville I've ever been to. There even was a photo booth, can it even get better?! The decor was very cozy and hipster-like as well. Here are some snaps I took there:



Even though there are sales here in Belgium, there weren't any sales going on in Brandy Melville. But that didn't stop me from buying something.


I bought this cute shorts for € 22,00. I think they are perfect for the summer. Brandy Melville sells these type of shorts in many different prints and it was very hard for me to chose just one, but eventually I went for these and I really like them!



I also fell in love with this ring so I had to buy it. At first I didn't really like it, because I first of all don't really like silver jewellery (gold just suits my skincolour better) and second of all this is not really my type of ring. But my friend put it on and when it's on it looks gorgeous as you can see on this picture below:



So I bought it and have been wearing it non-stop since. I think it just looks so cool. And it only cost € 4! Hopefully the quality is great too, but I will let you know more about that soon.

So that was my fun trip to the Brandy Melville in Brussels. If you're ever planning on going to Brussels I really recommend you to take a look there!

The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil


Hi, 

You probably heard lots of this product already. It's very popular and many people love this. Since they claim it makes pimples disappear and I have acne, I really wanted to give this product a go.

I use this in the evening after I applied my cleanser, toner, serum and moistrurizer. These are the 4 most important steps of your evening skin care routine, so using this tea tree oil is kind of an extra thing for me. It's very important that you use it lastly, because it needs a little bit more time to soak in. But not that long, because I'm actually quit surprised how fast it soaks in for an oil!

I use 2 drops for my entire face (or well, just my T-zone). Some people use this just on there pimples, but since I have very much acne, I spread it all over my face.

One of my biggest concerns about using this product was that I would wake up with a very oily skin. But as I already mentioned, it soaks in very quickly and it even makes me wake up with a less oily skin then normally.

But now, does it work? Actually I'm not that fond about it... Many people claim it makes your pimple disappear just when you put a little bit of this product on it. But I don't think it's that miraculous. It does help a little bit with decreasing the amount of pimples you have, but it needs some time.

Don't get me wrong, I do like this product and I would repurchase it, but I just don't think it's that wonderful as many people say it is. So don't have to high hopes about this.

Maybelline Baby Lips Electro


Hi, 

If you've read my post of Maybelline's Baby Lips, you know I love these tinted lipbalms. It's great if you're just a schoolgirl like me and you're not allowed to wear heavily makeup to school. It's also just great if you're starting out with makeup and want to try more subtle products first. And it's also very cheap and it lasts a long time (I wrote a post on that as well, because it really lasts a surprisingly long time).

I wanted to expand my collection of Baby Lips, because I litteraly use them daily. On We Heart It I always saw this range of Baby Lips called Electro, but I never saw them in the stores. Or well not here in Belgium. But when I saw them on Asos, I really wanted to buy a couple.


So I bought 'Oh! Orange!' and 'Strike a rose'. There are more outstanding colours too, like purple and green, but I still like to go fore more natural lips and these two colours seemed very nice. 


'Oh! Orange!' smells really like orange, which I actually don't like about it. I think it's just a weird smell to have on your lips. 'Strike a rose' does smell awesome. It reminds me of 'Pink Punch' (which is one of the classic Baby Lips), but then less heavy. So it has a very feminine smell (sorry, I can't describe it better than that...). But then I like the colour of 'Oh! Orange!' more than of 'Strike a rose'. 'Oh! Orange!' gives your lips this subtle peachy shine and I adore it. You sure can build the colour up, but I like to keep it natural. But 'Strike a rose' is very pigmented (even though it doesn't really shows that of on the swatch on my hand). Which I geuss many people really like about it, but I love Baby Lips for there natural look. I still like this Baby Lips, but I just don't grab for it as much as with the others.

So I really like these Baby Lips as well and I would recommend them to you guys!

Spotted: Jennifer Lawrence




Hi,

Jennifer Lawrence was spotted looking fabulous in this summery outfit. She is wearing a whole black outfit and she is deffinitely rocking it. And her golden clutch is a detail that makes this outfit more special. I'm obsessed with her cropped top and skirt, which looks very chic without being trashy. And her heels fit perfectly with this outfit.

Besides her outfit her hair is on point as well. She has beachy waves, but it still looks great with her chic outfit.

Love this whole look!
