SPRING HAS SPRUNG

Wednesday 29 April 2015

Hello gorgeous readers,


Before we start, I know this article has the most cliché title ever but it just sounds fun, amiright? Spring has indeed sprung and the weather has been lovely here in Brussels. It just makes me wanna wear all kinds of floral prints and go outside. This time of the year I usually wear less make-up. You can find my spring favourites below.


Product details:

* ELF blush quad: I am OBSESSED with these blushes. They are so pigmented and stay on all day. They actually come in two different palettes, a darker and a lighter one. I bought both, don't tell anyone!
* Aqua Petit Jelly from Holika Holika: There are no words for how much I love this product. It's a BB cream in a jelly-like consistency. It's so light on your skin, you sometimes forget you have it on! It's perfect if you want some coverage but not too much so this is my go-to product during Spring & Summer! I use a Sephora make-up sponge to apply the BB cream. (I will do a full blog post on this sponge since I LOVE it so much!)
* Clear Complexion from Rimmel: I don't usually powder after putting on BB cream but when I especially want it to stay all day, I use this powder. It doesn't have any colour and definitely not heavy on my face.
*  Archery from Soap&Glory: Ahhh, the brows, not too sure when everyone became obsessed with filling in brows, but it's a must in my make-up routine! It has one felt tip pen and one pencil to help you achieve the perfect brows.
* Dior TUTU eyeshadow quad: first of all, cutest little thing EVER! I love these light, pink colours. I usually go for more subtle eyeshadow looks during spring.
* They're Real push-up eyeliner from Benefit: Y'all know I love a cat-eye look so this spring favourites would not be complete without some kind of eyeliner! I have a love-hate relationship with this product. It can create the most perfect wing on one day, and on other days I just have to wipe it off and start over. Maybe it's just me who can't draw wings. Oh well.
* Lights, Camera, Splashes from Tarte: I already mentioned that I love this product in another article. If you want to read that, click here. I love it for everyday wear but would not recommend it if you want to go for a dramatic look. I like the waterproof version because it curls better with my Revlon eyelash curler.

What are your favourites? Comment down below and I might try out some of the products!

Hope you liked this,

much love

Get your Closet Spring Ready

Saturday 18 April 2015

With these simple tips…

Do you feel like you have too many clothes, but you have nothing to wear? If your answer is YES, than read on. Because this means it’s time to reorganize your closet! Because probably you do have lots of clothes, but they are hiding in the back of your closet. Waiting for you to finally use them!


Tip 1: Empty your closet

Make sure your closet is completely empty before you start sorting your clothes. Create three piles:
  1. Give away/sell
  2. Not for this season; these you’re going to hide somewhere in your closet or any kind of stock space.
  3. Spring clothes; these you want to keep in sight.

Tip 2: Be hard on yourself

Everything you didn’t wear last spring, you probably won't wear this spring either. Stop thinking certain pieces will come in handy sometime. Because usually they won’t. They will only fill your closet with no other purpose than to determine that you have a closet full of clothes, but nothing to wear (Carrie Bradshaw Ref.)


Tip 3: Put on some music

Listening to music makes most things easier. Especially cleaning! Here you have my go to Spotify playlists for when I’m cleaning. J


Enjoy!

Tip 4: Be creative

Try to redesign.

Example: transform an old/worn pair of jeans to a true fashion piece by creating cut-outs, ruffles (you can do this easily with a razor), bleach stains, …

Tip 5: Use your space efficiently

Create space.

Use thin clothing hangers, you can find them on Amazon. It’s also recommended to use only one certain type of hanger, this will create unity and rest. Another tip is to use velvet hangers, they will prevent you clothes from falling off the hanger.
  
Place your shoes front to back. By having one shoe facing forward and the other backwards, you will create space and it will give you a glance at both sides of the shoe.

Get a free standing rack (like this one from Ikea). This will again create space, but you can also use it in order to put certain pieces in the spotlight. You’re more likely to wear something if you see it a lot.

Hopefully you find these tips useful. If you have some additional tips, please share them in the comments below! J
