Mario Badescu Drying Lotion

Since Kylie Jenner told on Snapchat that she uses the Mario Badescu Drying Lotion to get rid of impurities, quickly this lotion became a bestseller all over the world. Now you probably immediately think it will be an expensive product, but nothing is less true. Is it just a hype or does it really works? Ms. Jenner is of course often sponsored to mention products on social media, but the brand Mario Badescu is known for its effective working products and has won many prizes in beauty, so it's worth trying.

OCC Lip Tar

The brand OCC stands for Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics and is a brand that's 100% vegan and cruelty-free. I had this OCC Lip Tar for a while but found the color too orange and I'm not a fan of orange lips. Although this color orange is quite okay, Kingsday (national day in The Netherlands) is the only day in the whole year that I wear it. Fortunately OCC has many more colors in the range that I find very beautiful. OCC Lip Tar. This is the orange color on my lips and it is called Grandma. This lip gloss comes in a tube ...

My 3 Favorite Revlon Hair Products

I'm a brunette and then it's quite an art to get a nice bright blonde hair color while keeping your hair healthy. Every month I go to the hairdresser to dye my hair again because I'm certainly not doing it myself at home. My hairdresser dyes my hair with a professional line of Revlon and nowadays also with a professional line of Schwarzkopf, these are both pretty gentle on the hair. So far so good! But it's also very important to continue to care for your hair at home, especially if you've treated it chemically. I've a lot of hair products ...

Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Water Foundation

I've been using for a long time a foundation of the brand By Terry, it works so well that I never actually make a switch to a different foundation, until the brand Tarte came with a new foundation. Why I'm a fan of the foundations of the brand By Terry because they all feel very light on the skin and look very natural, like you have nothing on your skin, that's also what this new foundation by Tarte does. A lightweight foundation, water-based, which gives enough coverage. Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Water Foundation. This new liquid foundation by Tarte is available ...

Healthy Deodorants

There are more and more deodorants on the market without the ingredient Aluminium and they all fall under the term healthy deodorants, but why? Aluminum in deodorants (and also in cosmetics and food) is linked to breast cancer and Alzheimer's, it's a metal that's toxic to your body. Aluminium is an ingredient that’s active against excessive sweat production, it sees to it that the sweat glands pinched closed so that there’s no transpiration. That this is bad for your body is not yet scientifically proven, but on the other hand, why would you take the risk? I've used for a while deodorants with a very high concentration of Aluminum (Lady Speed Stick and Secret), ...
