Nivea Sensitive Day Cream.

About two weeks ago I was in search - online that is - of a decent day cream that would protect my skin from UV-rays. I came across the Nivea sensitive day cream with spf 15. Now I know that spf 15 isn't all that much, but I figured it would be better than not wearing sunscreen at all.

I decided to give this cream a go so a few days later I picked it up.

Brand Rant: Natural Collection.

I don't see Natural Collection make-up being mentioned on beauty blogs very often. Is it because bloggers don't like it? Due to lack of advertising? I don't know, but I find that this brand deserves a bit more attention! Natural Collection is a brand owned by Boots. They also have body care products, but I'll be talking about the make-up.

Their packaging doesn't look very chic at all, but the make-up is very budget proof and the products are all fragrance free, so I think it's worth checking out their counter!  
Here are the products I currently have:

Make-Up Studio Eyeshadow Lumière in Red Sparkler.

It's been three weeks ago already that E. and I went on a trip to the Hague. Whilst following a printed city tour, we felt like we needed a hot chocolate to warm up again. So we deviated from our path and when we were walking back to continue the tour again, we came across a store called Make-Up Studio. Obviously you wouldn't be reading this post if it hadn't been for us entering the store and me ending up buying myself a present!

Green clay mask: attempt number two.

A little while ago I wrote about the green clay powder that I'd bought and how I mad a face mask with it. That first attempt hadn't worked out well, but my second one did! I first did this with a friend and it worked great for the both of us. The photos are from the second time that I did the same thing by myself.
Here's the 'recipe':

What's in my travel toiletry bag.

Last weekend I went on a trip to The Hague with a friend of mine. Whilst packing my rucksack I thought I'd make photos of the things I took with me to show you. (Notice how the sun was gloriously shining!)

Nail art for dummies #2.

Here's another super easy 'nail art' tutorial! 

Okay, paining one nail differently is not exactly nail art, but as I said: it's slightly more interesting than putting one colour on all of your nails.

PerBlan tooth powder review.

A while ago I told you about the tooth powder I'd gotten. 

As promised here's a review on it:

Green clay mask: attempt number one.

Once upon a day, I was browsing through a drugstore and I stumbled upon a green clay mask. But right next to it, there was a little tub of pure green clay. I've been enjoying mixing up my own products lately, and the tub of powder was cheaper than the the clay-mask-in-a-tube, so I got this instead. 

I was eager to give it a try , so that's what I did the next day and here's how it went:

Kruidvat nail polish remover.

When I paint my nails, the nail polish starts to chip after a few days or so and thus my nails start to look very unpolished! So when you paint your nails, you kind of have to have a nail polish remover too. 

The one I use is the Kruidvat Nail Polish Remover.

Nail art for dummies #1.

Here's how I did my nails two days ago. I'm not sure if it's even worthy of the name nail art, but it is definitely a bit more interesting than a single colour. If I can do this so can you!

Here's how I did it step by step:

Do anti-age creams make your skin age faster?

Anti-ageing cream may be an odd topic for me to discuss as I'm only 23. But there's something about it that has been bugging me for a couple of years. Some anti-ageing creams are advertised to speed up cell renewal. Now I assume this may make your skin look younger for a while, but I suspect that it will worsen things in the long run. Here's why:

Essence stay matt lip cream.

Here it is then, the essence stay matt lip cream!

Dr Organic Rose Otto Conditioner.

A little while ago, I told you that I'd bought a back-up of the Dr. Organic Rose Otto shampoo. When I got to the till to pay for that, the shop assistant pointed out that they had a deal on the brand: buy one get one free. And that's why I got the conditioner too.

An attempt at nail art.

Good morning!
As I didn't have much time to write I thought I'd just briefly show you my attempt at nail art. 

Essence mini-haul.

On Friday I went on a little shopping trip with my sister. I got myself a couple of things from essence cosmetics. 

Topshop highlighter in crescent moon.

I think highlighter a beautiful product, but since I don't need much of it at all, I only have one. That is Topshop's crescent moon.

Toothpaste alternative: PerBlan tooth powder.

Last Saturday I went to a bio shop to get some lavender essential oil. Whilst browsing though the rest of the store I stumbled upon PerBlan tooth powder. It's a powder that serves as an alternative to toothpaste that made of natural ingredients and is eco-friendly.

Catrice Poison Me, Poison You!

Dr. Organic Rose Otto Shampoo.

Somewhere in the first half of November I purchased the Dr. Organic Rose Otto shampoo.

A few weeks ago I got myself a back-up. Here's why:

DIY body butter.

In our family, we have the tradition of exchanging small gifts between godchildren and godparents on New Year's day. This year I crafted the gift for my godmother myself. I gave her a set of two homemade body care products. The first one is the same foot scrub I gave my mum for Christmas. The other one is a DIY body butter.
