REVIEW | Samsung Gear Fit

Almost a year ago (at Christmas, to be exact), my parents gave me a smart watch. I had been eyeing a sports watch for quite a while already, mainly to track my runs. I asked one for Christmas, but they gave me a smart watch instead. Why? Because it links with my phone and has a lot more functions, which meant it was a lot better value for its money than a regular sports watch. Since I have obviously tested this baby an elaborate amount of times, I thought I’d give you my opinion about it. Be aware, because this is a ridiculously long post.

REVIEW | Batiste Dry Shampoo Dark & Brunette

Washing your hair is one of those necessities no one really likes. There are some people who are lucky enough to only have to wash their hair once a week, but I’m more someone who needs to wash it every other day or it looks like I poured oil on it. Washing your hair can take up some very valuable time and honestly, we just don’t always have it. Enter: dry shampoo! I’ve been using dry shampoo for a couple of years now, and it really is my life saver on those days that I do not have the time to wash my hair.

HAUL | Catrice It Pieces Limited Edition Collection

I love how being a blogger is the perfect excuse to buy new makeup or beauty things. I can always justify my purchases by saying I really 'need' it for a review or a haul. So when I stopped at Kruidvat last week, I couldn't leave these things behind! They're both from Catrice and are part of the It Pieces collection, which is the limited edition collection for the summer. It's supposed to be in stores through July and August, but I hadn't seen the collection before last week! I feel like the stores are often a little late with their collection. Here are my first impressions!

REVIEW | Yves Rocher Lash Plumping Mascara

I've been neglecting my blog a little since I came home. I thought I would have enough time to blog a lot since I don't have a very busy month, but I thought wrong. Work has been pretty hectic and my free days were filled with fun things! I haven't been bored since I got back home, but I do feel a little guilty to be ignoring my blog. But I made the intention to get better at posting more often. So here we go: a review of the Yves Rocher Lash Plumping Mascara!

REVIEW | Essence 3D Eyeshadow

While I was scrolling through my posts, I saw it's been a while since I did a review. I immediately knew what I wanted to share with you! It's awesome and inexpensive, how can I not share that? I'm talking about eyeshadow. I'm sorry, I'm talking about an eyeshadow duo. Two for the price of one! Yasssss. I present: The Essence 3D Eyeshadow Duo in Irresistible Caramel Cream.

REVIEW | Catrice Ultimate Lip Glow

I did a very stupid thing last weekend: I broke my elbow. I did what? Yup, broke it. We were doing a parcours that involved several things, such as a swing ladder. We had to swing from rung to rung to get to the other side, but sadly enough they were wet and I was last in my group. When I came to the third rung, I couldn't hold myself anymore and fell right on my elbow (and ass). I'll probably post a little less, since baking isn't the easiest with only one hand available. But I'll try my best to stick to my schedule!

REVIEW | Barry M Matte Nail Paint

Now work is over and school has started again, I can start wearing nail polish! With fall sneaking in, I love using darker colours and this one from Barry M is perfect for that! It's a matte colour, which makes it even more special.

REVIEW | Smart Bars

If you read my love declaration for quest bars a couple of weeks ago, you also know that they're just a little too expensive to my liking. So when I stumbled across some very positive reviews of the Body & Fit Smart Bars, I decided to give them a go!

ANTWERP | Wasbar

After months of thinking about it, the very first 'episode' is finally here! I love coffee bars and cool lunch spots and I am lucky enough to live in an amazing city with plenty of fun places to try out. I always felt a little too awkward to take out my camera and take some pictures for a blog post but I finally had the guts this time! So, without further ado: the Wasbar in Antwerp.

REVIEW | Too Faced Shadow Insurance

You might remember that I told you about my Catrice eyeshadow base a couple of weeks ago. I really wasn't a fan of it, but I also told you that I just started using a new primer: Shadow Insurance from Too Faced! So today it is time to tell you what I think about it.

REVIEW | MAC Select Cover-up Concealer

As I said before, concealer is a life saver for me. Whereas I don't really care about which concealer to use to cover up imperfections - as long as it does the job, I'm fine-, I do have specific wishes for my under-eye circles. My hours of sleep have reduced over the past months and sadly enough, you can tell from my face. So yup, I do need heavy material.

REVIEW | Catrice Prime and Fine Eyeshadow Base

I love wearing eyeshadow. I personally feel like it can change up your look completely! But if you're somewhat like me, the eyeshadow can wear off throughout the day. That's why I like to use an eyeshadow base. It just helps my eyeshadow last all day long.

REVIEW | Essence match 2 cover! Concealer

If I would ever have to throw out all of my make up, there would be 2 things I would hide. There is no way that I could ever live without mascara or concealer. Mascara makes me look instantly fabulous. Definitely in combination with an eyelesh curler, oh boy! And does concealer really need any explanation? It is my everyday saviour for under eye circles and acne spots. I like to try out different concealers, so here is a very budgetproof one.

REVIEW | Tweezerman

Beautyfans swear by these amazing tweezers. These expensive tweezers. Because that is definitely what they are. But are they actually worth the hype?

Cake Pops

Trends seem to be everywhere, even in baking. We've had the cupcake, the macaron and now we have the cake pop. Although it was never as successful as the other two, it definitely has a certain charm. I never really got into making them, until now...

REVIEW | Dove Purely Pampering Bodylotion

I know the winter is coming when my skin gets dryer. My hands, my feet, my legs, they all get dryer. The weird thing? My face doesn't. And my legs do. What? As if I cover up my face and not my legs. But well. I love to moisturize my body as soon as the weather gets colder. It just makes me feel so nourished!

REVIEW | Nivea Aqua Effect Repairing Night Cream

Nowadays, most people already use day cream. It helps protect your skin against everyday influences such as rain, cold, ... Some of them even have SPF in them to protect you from the sun, but that's not what I want to talk about today. Although we all use day cream, there is something else you maybe should consider: night cream.

Botanical Choice - Nose pore strips "Aloe"

When I was younger (aka in puberty), I used to have a lot of acne. How great for the self-confidence of a 14-year old girl. But with the help of a heavenly dermatologist, that is mostly solved. I know it sounds silly, but it still is the thing I am the most happy about when I think back of my puberty. Anyway, I am now lucky not to have a lot of acne anymore, but I do have a lot of blackheads, both on my nose and my chin. So when I saw these when I was on holiday and they were quite cheap too (1.29 euros for three!), I decided to give them a try.

TASTE TEST | Apple Cinnamon Bar

Is this post a surprise? If you scroll through my posts, I'm afraid it isn't. But honestly, I can't help it. So when I was looking at the bars at our local wholefood market, a great idea popped in my head. What if I just take both? And then an ever better idea popped up. What if I compare them to each other and write a post about it? There must be someone who loves apple and cinnamon as much as I do. And if not, I have at least eaten those bars.

REVIEW | MAC Technique

As far as I know, MAC is the number one brand when it comes to professional make up. That is at least what I think of whenever I pass a store. As I said before, the stores and make up artists are intimidating to me, which probably is why I think of it as being amazing. I do love MAC and apparently, I subscribed to their emails some months ago.
