EFFORTLESS VALENTINES DAY LOOK

Hi Lovely's , hope your all good. This time i'm surely on time for a valentines post. Since i've never done a makeup look on the  blog yet, I was inspired to help you ladies out for this upcoming valentines day.  

This look is very simple and minimal as well, I would say it's more for an early brunch date yet it would also fit for meetings, for more fresh looking and dewey look. I feel that I used a lot of products than what your seeing on my face, cause I really wanted it to look very natural and flirty. Just think of going on a date like you didn't made any effort yet everything looks fleeky haha. 

STEP 1 :  Make sure you did well on your prep and prime. I'm using Clinique moisture surge for my moisturizer after that i'll prime my whole face with Nyx Born to glow illuminating primer then spray some Mac Prep + Prime fixing spray, so your makeup would stay. I love the combination of this three it keeps your face moisturized all day. 

STEP 2 : Use your beautyblender to apply foundation. I'm using Balibody BB cream in the color tan, this BB cream does not do a lot of coverage but since were going for a natural look, this one works for me the best. 

STEP 3 : Use a concealer brush / fingertips to apply concealer. The Mac studio finish concealer in the color NC35 together with my trusty concealer brush from Realtechniques are my everyday partner. I use it mostly under my eyes, bridge of my nose and for my imperfections. Uh - Uh ! let it sit for a bit while doing your eye makeup. You can bake your under eyes as well, but since i'm going for a dewy look i'm skipping that.

STEP 4 : Most important part, ofcourse is filling in your eyebrows. It's funny, I don't have any brow products on my stash besides my angled brush from the H&M. I'm using the color Faint from my trusted Naked Basics palette from Urban Decay. After that I move on applying the color Foxy on my whole eyelid as my base then for my upper crease I use the Hoola bronzer from Benefit and top it with the color It's complicated from the Benefit World Famous Neutrals. On my outter part of my eye i'm using Gilt-y pleasure and blending it all in for a natural smokey eyes.

STEP 5 : Curl your lashes with a lash curler, apply eyeliner and make a thin wing, i'm using They're Real push up liner from benefit then Apply mascara i'm again i'm using They're Real mascara from Benefit.

STEP 6 : Again Grab Nyx illuminating primer and apply a bit on the bridge of your nose and your cheekbones or wherever you want to apply your highlighter. Blend then your concealer and the illuminating primer. Strobe a bit of your favorite liquid / stick highlighter. For me the What's Up highlighter stick from Benefit works well (which I forgot to put on my Gif) , and again apply wherever you want to apply your highlighter then blend ! blend ! blend !

STEP 7 : Your Favorite part ! Use a buffing brush to set your face with a bit of powder, don't be to excited for this step cause we don't want it to look caked up. I'm using Studio fix from Mac. Then every girl's most favorite part ' contouring ' hahah.. i'm using ofc the Hoola bronzer from Benefit, you know how it all works.

STEP 8 : Choose a blush that's almost natural to your skin color. I'm using a baked blush from Flomar in the color terracotta.  and for the finishing touch add some gloss or a nude hippie quick spray your favorite fixing spray, and voila ! You must be ready for a date.

BONJOUR! PARIS DIARY

Bonjour ! As some of you know this is not my first time in Paris, but the first time with Miguel. Honestly i've seen more than few years ago when I was with my parents, I got to see shops and streets I wanted to visit for a while now. 

We went by train from AMS - PARIS NORD and arrived 11:15 a.m in Paris, first thing we did was walked to our hotel to check in and drop our stuff, after that I got my makeup done, freshened up and explored the neighbourhood. The first day we were so fanatic that we walked a lot which was not so worst, cause we got to see a lot. At night I was so hungry and grumpy that I forgot to note were we ate, I had a coin coin burger with duckbreast which I really enjoyed. 

The second day we visited a bit of tourist spots. of course we went to see the Eiffel tower, Louvre pyramid and the Royal palace which I didn't get to visit when I was with parents. Honestly it's very hard to find a cute hotspot in Paris, we got lucky to brunch at Blackburn nearby our hotel the first day. We also went shopping for some late late Christmas presents.

STYLETONE BEAUTYBOX AUGUST '16

I can't explain how excited I am right now, making this post and sharing it with you. In collaboration with Styletone I got to receive my very first Styletone Beautybox. 

The StyleTone Beautybox is a monthly beautybox which is always filled with 5 full-size beauty products. The best, newest and undiscovered brands are selected by the StyleTone Team. So you will only receive high quality and new products! You can choose to receive the Styletone beautybox every month, or choose a 3, 6 or 12 months subscription. And it gets better! The bigger the subscription is you buy, the more discount you’ll receive! 

SERAPHINE ROSY CHEEKS - Opening this lip & cheek gel was so exciting, the packaging made me happy cause it's pink and very jolly. Honestly i'm not really into lip & cheek tint/stain, this must be the second lip stain I have in my lip collection. It's a warm orchid shade that suits most skin tones. I must say it do work for me using it more as a cheek stain than on my lips. Specially for the summer, top your bb cream with this as a blush and your good to go! I also recommend  this on humid weather. 

/ BEAUTY HACK - Use  a lip brush to apply the product, let set for a few minutes and carefully wipe of the product with tissue.

ELLOVI TINTED LIP BUTTER - I never knew about this brand, I would say this lip butter is full of moisturizing pure and natural ingredients such as Macadamia nut oil, Sunflower oil, Marula oil, Shea butter, and Alkanet Root Extract.It feels really smooth and moisturizing on my lips but i'm not really a fan of how it smells, though it really works for dry and chapping lips.

/ BEAUTY HACK - When your skin is used to synthetic products it can feel dry the first few days when you stop using those and switch to natural products. just hang in there, it'll get so much better.

MANNA KADAR RADIANCE SPLIT PAN BRONZER AND HIGHLIGHTER DUO - Lately i've been trying a lot of highlighters and bronzers. This duo made it a lot easier for me to contour and do my highlight, it's very easy to blend and it really fits my skin tone. Since a lot of bronzy looks are hitting the social media right now, you can totally use it as an eyeshadow too for that bronzy effect. 

PAESE BROW SETTER - Who doesn't love brow products?? This is a new addition to my favourites, since this is my first time trying a brow setter / brow gel. I am more into brow powder I would say, but I use this product as a kind of brow wax to set the powder on my brows, and I would say you should try this product real soon. 

ECOCO COSMETIC GLOVE - I'm inshock about this product, I never thought it would be that cheap for such a good quality. This is such an easy and convenient thing a beauty company can make. When I saw this in the box, I just realize how much millions of cotton pads or cents after cents towards cleaners, when you can remove your makeup in a natural way with a bit of water. I am now a fan of this cosmetic glove! Surely recommended.

This is my first time receiving and reviewing something from a beauty box. I really enjoyed unboxing the products from the box. What I mostly loved was they were all full size products yet they are easy to throw in your makeup bag to bring it on the go. Most important, all the products are not animal tested. I never tried any boxes from other companies yet, but I got lots of positive thoughts about Styletone.

WANT YOUR OWN STYLETONE BEAUTYBOX? 

Boxes are from €12,50 for my Dutchies and €15,00 for Belgian members.

BULLS AND DOGS VAN WOUSTRAAT

Yumm ! This is such a cozy hotspot to share, I went to Bulls and Dogs with my boyfriend for an early dinner and guess what it was just a few streets away from where were living, so why not stop by  and eat some dogs. As I know they do have 2 bar's in Amsterdam one is at the Foodhallen and the one were we went ( Van Woustraat). They serve a funky homemade hotdogs, bangers and side dishes combined  with draft beers, wines and homemade milkshakes and lemonades yuuuum!

Besides of their funky mouth watering concept, they were just killing the interior of cozyness with a bit of a Amsterdam touch. It wasn't kinda big of space but it was very vibey, I felt easily at home. Their prices was also good for a wallet not so full, their hotdogs is between 5 to 6 euros, they also does delivery and takeaway.

I hope you all enjoyed this mini hotspot review of mine, like I enjoyed my vanilla milkshake and vegetarian dog hahah . I couldn't take a lot of pictures cause I only have my phone with me, go take a visit, sure you'll enjoy!
