Mac won't let you down!

Finding a good foundation took me ages. I've used quite a lot of products but I was never happy with them and I'm not rich so I can't just throw it all away. I'm a big fan of Zoe and I've heard her talk about the Mac products quite a lot so I wanted to give it a try. I went to the Mac store and the people there were so so friendly. She asked some stuff about my skin type and started to put makeup on me. I really enjoyed it actually. She showed me a really nice foundation (the one I bought) and she showed me the prettiest blush I've ever seen. It's called 'peaches'. Uh, I just love the name! Zoe talks about this in her video so I thought I'd give it a go. Until now, it's the best foundation I've bought so far. I like the shade, the coverage..

In my opinion, Mac isn't cheap so you want to make sure you have the right shade and stuff. Before you go to the store, the foundation finder can help you  find something that will probably match you. If you are looking for the right foundation, blush, powder of whatever, you should def visit Mac!

Komrad Invasion time!

Finally! I have the shoes. I saw them for the first time in a magazine. Just a picture of them. And I liked them immediately. Today was the moment of truth. I went to Antwerp so I could fit them. And, yeah, they were perfect, not to big or not to small. It was perfect. Of course I bought them and I have no regrets. They are the perfect shoes. They are comfy and cute. You can where them on almost all your cloths because they are simple. They are firmly so you can wear them for a long time. They have them in all sizes, from 36 to 46. And you have them in several colours. I'm so happy that I have them. If you want them too or in an other colour you can go to the site of Komrad Invasion.

Love always,

Once up on a lazy sunday..

I had these little flowers in my room but I got tired of them so.. why don't create something new with it? I've seen pictures of some beautiful flower crowns and since I was dying to make one myself, I got some stuff I thought was going to be usefull and here we go!

the end result!

 

Things I used :

- fake plant from Ikea
- iron wire
- pair of scissors

As you can read above, your flower crown doesn't need real flowers! You can also buy some fake ones (or cut off the flowers you have in your room, r.i.p. my plant) or make it in fabric.
I didn't follow a tutorial and i'm not quite good at explaining so here are some tutorials I think are pretty usefull :

flower crown with fabrics

If you don't feel like following a tutorial like me, you can just mess around with it and be creative. Once you have found a way to attach the flowers to the wire, it's not that difficult. Bon chance!

Love always,

Jolien.

It's the time of the year again, spring is on our doorsteps.

My favourite season is coming. The flowers will bloom with al the colours of the rainbow. The sun will be shining in our faces. Finally we can were skirts, dresses and tops. I look forward to these moments. And I am prepared. Here are my preparations for the spring.

A dress and skirt from London, Primark.

The skirt is very comfy. You can wear it on a simply blouse or on a top. And the dress is lovely. He is not too short so you don't feel you uncomfortable.

A long skirt.

A long skirt is perfect for spring because the temperature is not to warm. And, yeah, I love them. It's one of the nicest thing I have ever worn.

Lastly this top. I bought it in a second hand shop.

This top is a little bit rebuilt. I removed the sleeves for a prettier look. And I like it. Certainly the collar. He is made of lace. It will be cute on a short with a high waist.

Love always, 

Paulien

To smell or not to smell?

I thought I would make a post about something that can be very attractive or the opposite.

For the girls, you know what I mean. There's this guy and when he passes by, there's this kind of magical smell that just kills you! Or this old lady sitting next to you on the bus with this stinky parfume! Parfume is something that gives you something extra. Like make-up you have to find something that fits you and adjust it to the seasons. I never buy a lot of bottles but I do have thousands and thousands  of samples. But when I do love a sample really much, I will probably buy it. I'll present you some of my favorites!

 

 

This one, I got as a Christmas present from my mom. I always wanted to buy a perfume from Zara because they smell incredibly good and the price is really low! Since I didn’t get an opportunity to buy one, my mom did. The scent is really fruity as the name says and it reminds me of some kind of candy. I think it’s more a perfume you should wear in the summer. I do like the scent but it doesn’t stay long. I experience that all the perfumes I have don’t stay for a long time so I guess it’s just my skin (if that’s even possible) The look of the bottle is very simple but still nice.

 

 

 I know what you’re thinking right now. Yes it’s Justin Bieber’s perfume but that doesn’t mean anything. The smell is absolutely addictive! My friend bought it and I really loved it so I had to buy it! I think this scent is quite candy-ish and its heavier than the one above but it’s definitely my favorite at the moment! Although perfumes don’t stay long when I wear them, this one stays quite a time. I’m not really a big fan of all the colors of the bottle but I like the fact that you can get the actual bottle out of all the spiral-thingies so you can take it with you when you’re on the go.

‘Girlfriend’ is available in 30, 50 and 100 ml. I have the 30 ml and it costs around 39 Euro. You can find this one in Planet Perfume or check this site out + there’s also a body lotion and some other stuff available.

 

Last but not least, these are my 3 favorite samples and I’m definitely going to buy them in the future! I absolutely recommend these ones! Next time you’re going to shop you should check them out! The first one is called 'Amor Amor' by cacharel. In the middle you see 'Flora' by Gucci. This one ist just uh.. i can't even describe how amazing it is! And the third one is called 'Black' by Paco Rabanne.

 

Did you ever try these ones and what do you think? Or what are your all-time favorite perfumes?

 Love always,
Jolien
