Silicones for a clear skin?
An indispensable product in your makeup stash is a primer. A primer ensures that your makeup last longer and it evens out your skin. It reduces pores and fine lines and gives a matte effect on the skin so you're less likely to shine.My favorite primer is the Porefessional van Benefit Cosmetics, for me there is no better primer. Besides that it makes my skin smooth, this primer also protects my skin from harmful influences from outside and it works against aging. The main ingredients of this primer are Silicones and Vitamin E.Silicones for a clear skin?What I noticed, since I use ...
Tarte Skincare Frxxxtion Stick
I'm a big fan of the Tarte Rainforest of the Sea foundation, a lightweight foundation with a natural finish and enough coverage. Tarte is a brand that makes you greedy, beautiful products with even better packages! I was curiously for a while about the Tarte Frxxxtion Stick, an exfoliating cleanser but in a stick. A special product with a triple action; peeling, cleanser and face mask.Tarte Skincare Frxxxtion Stick.

Instagram Stories first weeks of 2017
The first weeks of January I always find a bit dull. December is the month of fun and cosiness and then everything falls silent after New Year's Day and the "normal" life starts again. My Instagram Stories from early January will therefore mainly be about the weather, and particularly how cold it is! I'm just not so good in cold weather. I wouldn't mind when the temperature wouldn't drop below 20 degrees all year!Instagram Stories first weeks of 2017.Sunday, January 1 2017.New Year's Day obviously starts with fireworks. We celebrated NYE at my sister in law. I had quite a ...
L’Oréal False Lash Architect 4D Black
Creating that false lash effect with a mascara is pretty much impossible. The False Lash effect sounds great, but do you want it anyway? Often you end up with clumps of eyelashes, while all we want are beautiful bold eyelashes without them sticking together.The brand L'Oréal has different kinds of mascaras under the title False Lash Effect. The finest of all those mascaras I think is the Architect 4D Black. An intense black mascara that gives my lashes lots of volume.L'Oréal False Lash Architect 4D Black. This mascara is the successor of the L'Oreal False Lash Architect. 4D represents four dimensions; ...
Teami Blends 30 Days Detox Tea Pack
Late last year I got a message from Amy of Teami Blends that's based in Florida if I wanted to try their 30 day detox tea. Now I was curious for a while about this way of detoxing, especially after the holidays it seemed a good idea to start with this. Because I do want to look good next month in bikini down in Florida. For me it's not intended to lose weight but to get rid of the bloating effect that I created during the holidays.I started with the Detox Tea on January 1, so I'm already on this ...

Best Lip Combo Huda Beauty + GlamGlow
Liquid Matte Lipsticks, we can't get enough of them. I got them from different brands and in different colors. Of course I have some favorites and the Huda Beauty Liquid Matte is one of them. The downside of most liquid lipsticks is that they can feel dry on your lips, the liquid lipsticks by Huda Beauty have this a lot less. The trick with any liquid lipstick, regardless of what brand, is to exfoliate and hydrate your lips first before applying the lipstick. When you moisturise your lips well before you apply a liquid lipstick you don't suffer from a dry feeling ...
Recipe Superfood Soup
After all the Dutch Doughnuts (Dutch tradition), snacks and drinks from the past few days, in early January it's time for some healthy food on the table. I love homemade soup and basically never eat canned soup. This recipe has an Asian flair because where else in the world they understand healthy food better. The recipe is a variant of my similar Recipe Noodle Soup which is a milder flavor. The recipe below is more spicy because of the cloves and chili peppers. Nowadays I have my groceries delivered at home and unfortunately the shiitake mushrooms were out and I had to use ...
