Let’s talk false lashes. If I compare Belgium to other make-up loving countries, I’d say we’re not exactly front in line when it comes to wearing fake lashes in general. As for me we’re sort of in a love-hate relationship. The truth is I have about a dozen lying around in a shelf untouched. Mostly because I feel like these PR samples don’t fit my make-up aesthetic which is more enhancing than covering. View Post
The Primark beauty section sure has been buzzing on Instagram lately. For every new beauty hype there surely is an affordable dupe to be found at Primark. In the search of the perfect Beauty Blender dupe, I picked up a set of 2 blending sponges. And then in the corner of my eye I spotted these oval brushes, better known as the Artis dupes.

The days where a steeper price point equals quality and vice versa are long gone. Some brands are so inexpensive, it’s hard to believe they’re so good.

Research what to buy at the French pharmacy, and chances are the Caudalie Beauty Elixir pops up. Last year this beauty cult favourite turned 20 years old, yet its origins lie in the 16th century when it was used as an elixir of youth by Queen Isabelle of Hungary. According to the legend, the Queen’s complexion was so youthful and radiant that it charmed the King of Poland, a man 35 years younger than herself. View Post
Bourjois has a special place in my heart when it comes to base products. The Healthy Mix foundation is one of my all-time favourite drugstore foundations and I really loved the 123 Perfect CC cream too, so I’m always looking forward to the next release. View Post
