The Body Shop Olive Range

Hi,

This Christmas I got a giftbox of The Body Shop with there whole olive collection in it. And I love this range lots! So that's why I wanted to share it with you today.

In the box you get the showergel, the body lotion, the scrub, the soap (which I unfortunatly forgot to put on the picture) and a green shower sponge (which is also not on the picture...). I love all the products in this range. But I was mostly impressed with the soap, because I normally never use soap bars. I think they leave a weird and dry feeling, but this one doesn't. And it smells like heaven, like the rest of the products.

Once a week I use all the products together and it always leaves my skin feeling very soft and healthy. I can feel that these products do really good on my skin. So I really recommend you to check this range out.

I use these products in combination with my Garnier Ultra Doux Hair Mask with olive oil, like that I can have a complete olive sensation. And the weird thing is that I don't even like olives... But these products don't really smell like olives and olive oil is very good for your skin and hair!

Changing Your Eye Shape With Eye Liner

Hi,

Last year we made a post about how to change your eye shape with eye shadow, but because there are way more people who use eye liner instead of eye shadow, I thought it would be more helpful to make a post on how to change your eye shape using eye liner.
I'm personally not such a fan of eye liner, still I think this is something worth trying out.

Spotted: Celebs at the Oscars

Hi,

This week were the Oscars, a very important event, partly because of the fashion statements you see every year. Most eyecatching this year was Lady Gaga who was, like you may or may not have heard already, wearing some sort of dishwashing gloves.. But best dressed was Gwyneth Paltrow for sure, with a lovely pink custom Ralph & Russo dress. 
Here are the rest of the stars and their sparkling outfits:

Dove Pure Care Dry Oil with African Macadamia Oil

Hi,

I've been using the Elsève Liss-Intense Serum Anti-Frizz for a long time now. And I do like that product, because it makes my hair super healthy, but it didn't do much about my frizz. So I thought it was about time for a change. And since I love all the Dove products, I wanted to buy there Pure Care Dry Oil with African macadamia oil. It costs only € 9,99 and it's a 100 ml bottle, while the Elsève serum cost € 14,95 and is a bottle with only 50 ml in it. The packaging is also made of glass, which makes it look super fancy and well made. Well, it does make it less handy to carry with you on a trip, but I still really like it. So far it looks already a lot better than the hair oil I used to use of Elsève, but does it actually work better?

If you don't know how to apply oils on your hair, I will explain that first to you. I apply hair oils right after I washed my hair, when my hair is towel-dry. I put a little bit on my hand (a little goes a long way!) and I run it through the ends of my hair. Never apply an oil on your roots, because it will leave your hair super greasy.

First of all I want to mention that I love the sent of this oil. Even though the sent doesn't stay on my hair for that long, it's always a nice aromatherapy-moment when I apply it on my hair. It makes my hair look very shiny and healthy, just like the Elsève Liss-Intense Serum Anti-Frizz did with my hair. I think all oils are just very good for your hair. But this one also makes your hair less frizzy! Not that magically much of course, but I'm still very impressed. I'm very happy with this product and I would definitely recommend it, even if you don't have frizzy hair, because it makes your hair a lot healthier in general. And if you didn't know it yet; oils also protect your hair for heath. A good hair oil is basically a must in your hair care routine!

Dove recently made a video about to love your curls. And it's already been watched millions of times. I struggle with accepting my curly hair too and I think many people who have curls do. Well, just watch the video, it will make you feel a lot more confident about your curls:

Cinderella's Glass Slippers Recreated by Iconic Designers

Hi,

This year there'll be a movie remake of the fairytail Cinderella, the story that learned us that a pair of shoes can truly change your life. ;) Some very famous shoe designers gave Cinderella's iconic glass slippers a make-over. Here are the results:

Alexandre Birman

Charlotte Olympia

Jimmy Choo

Rene Caovilla

Salvatore Ferragamo

Nicolas Kirkwood

Jerome Rousseau

Paul Andrew

Stuart Weitzman

I'm so in love with the ones from Jimmy Choo! That's exactly how I imagine Cinderella's pumps :) I like the ones from Charlotte Olympia too. They have a more modern touch and I think that's a creative way to look at it.
