Self Tanning

As some of you might already know I wear self tan to match my face to match me to even the lightest shades of foundation. I am just so light that most of the times even the lightest shades available (drugstore wise) are to dark.

Of course you are perfectly able to find lighter shades and some high end brands have wide shade ranges. But think also of the people who can't afford that an only go by drugstore foundations.

That being said I today am going to focus on the self tans I have to match myself. Did those matches actually work? Continue to read.

MUA: Baked Bronze

Ever since Make Up Academy came into belgian drugstores I almost immediately wanted to have some product from the display. To much to be honest.

There are still a lot more reviews to come but today I have a product for you that I believe is a perfect summer must have.

In winter I like to keep my skin more matt but in summer I prefer to have a nicely bronze tanned glowy skin.

So today we come to that matter with a bronzer. My thoughts? Keep reading.

MUA: Matt Foundation

Since a few weeks I've been on the search for a new foundation. Not that I need it, but you all know that need to have new things. Well these days I have been in my foundation mood.

Since MUA has finally taken place in my local drugstore (I was the first one to touch the new display) I had to try their foundation(s). They have a matt one and a regular one.
I went for the matt one because my skin is more oily.

Do I like it though? You can find out my thoughts if you continue reading.

Revlon: Lash Potion Mascara

I totally love the fact that once in a couple of months my sister goes to the UK to visit her lovely friends over there. Everytime she goes (and I have money) I give her my wishlist. And she usually manage to take all products on the wishlist.

Last time she went I only had two make up products (one she didn't find), including a mascara.
I knew we, in Belgium, can buy it in a high end/drugstore, but over there is was cheaper.

So I decided to let her bring it. The main reason I got it was the fab packaging.
But what are my thoughts? Keep reading to find out.

Essence: Mattifying cream, Take 2

I have an oily and sensitive skin. I therefore want to use as little products as possible. I thought, as many do, that I was 'overproducing' oil. And I took it away. 

But ever since my teacher once told that the thing with oily skin is that all the oil on your skin should actually be in your skin. That changed.

My biggest tip now: Moisterize, moisterize and moisterize. I have found myself an everlasting favourite. Budget and beautiful!

How do I take care of my skin? Continue reading.

A few posts ago you could read I had my eyes set on the L'oreal Telescopic mascara for an extremely long time. When it caught my eye that my supermarket sells is for way less then drugstores I knew I had to have it even more.

Well I finally have come to the point that I have it! All the positive things I heard, I could finally put it to the test. 

And here I am, is the the hype from the Telescopic Mascara worth it? Keep reading.

Essence: Shimmer Bronzing Powder

Since a few weeks now I have been totally loving to play around with bronzer. If I am doing my make up that bronzer nowadays is always to be found in my routine.

Today the weather was absolutely amazing and I was hoping for that tiny bit of first tan. Unfortunately, nothing happened.

Because of the fact that I don't get any colour to my face, I use bronzer to. And today I have for you a review of my newest bronzer. 

Are you ready to bronze up the face? Then keep reading.

Even though summer has been not easy to find the last few days, I can't wait until the sunshine has an influence on my mood.

On a gorgeous freshly tanned skin some highlighter does miracles too. Some make up products, in my opinion, can do that beautiful extra to your skin.

Summerproof: Blush

In summer I try to lessen down the amount of make up I use so my skin can breathe. And also because the weather is warmer I'm not putting as much on because otherwise it would just slide of my face. -No sight-

Something that I will never leave is definitely a blush. That add is absolutely gorgeous and can add a perfect glow.

Today I wanted to run you trough some of my favourite summerproof blushes.
Are you interested in what they are, then keep reading!

MUA: Extreme Curl Mascara

I think I can finally say with absolute certainty that mascara is my biggest fave to buy and test.
I love to see what some mascara do to my lashes.. The volume, the length!

Whenever I see new mascaras I want to own all of them. Which is super bad for my wallet.
MUA came to Belgian drugstores, as you might have read here before. And of course they have mascaras too.

Well it doesn't come as a surprise, today I have a mascara review for you. If your curious, keep reading.

Get Undressed: Make Up Academy

MUA has taken place in Belgian drugstores. Hurray!
At the end of may every selected drugstore should receive the MUA collection.

I, of course, couldn't wait until May so I made a trip to the nearest city that already had MUA.
The brand is known for it cheap prices and still a good quality.

Today I'm showing you my first purcased item. Probably the most interesting.
Are you MUA ready?
