EYELINER











MAKE-UP MONDAY Hi loves! A fresh start of a new week so time for a beauty post. Today I would like to talk with you how to archive the perfect eyeliner. As you might know I don't wear eyeliner so often but if I wear it, it must be perfect. To create a good liner you need a little patience and a eyeliner self. The one I used is from Yves Saint Laurent. For me Yves is one of the best make-up brands when it comes to quality and colors.

For this cat-eye look I used a soft point liner. You have many different sorts like a pencil which is a harder one. Those are also very easy in use but most of the time you can only get them in black. Black is a little too hard for my light colored eyes so I chose brown instead of black. That's the same for when I make smokey-eyes by the way. My tip: if you have light eyes than go for brown or green. It will look much prettier than black!

In the photos I teach you step by step how to create these sexy cat-eyes. Wish you lost of fun by trying it out yourself! Big kisses xxx

LIPSTICK FAVORITE














MAKE-UP MONDAY Hi loves! The beginning of a new week so time for a new beauty post! Today I would like to talk about my favorite lipsticks. When I should go to a uninhabited island I will definitely take some lipsticks with me! You can really say that I am addicted with them. When I don't wear lipstick it feels like my lips are asking for it. They get dry and irritated.. So yes I am addicted, but I don't care. Because there isn't something better than a good color on your lips right? :)

So here are my favorites when it comes to lipsticks. Like you can see I like to wear pink and coral colors. They are actually the best match with me when it comes to my skin tones. You really should know which color to wear on your lips. For example, never go for a too light soft pink color when the color of your lips self are darker. Or when you have a pale skin like I have, don't wear too much dark colors. It can be nice to wear bright red lips sometimes but for a daily wear soft coral and pink colors are much better. 

Dior, Chanel, Lancôme and Yves Saint Laurent are my favorite brands with the best colors. I like to spent a little bit more money on good products, especially when it's something for your lips because at the end you'll eat it right? These ones also smell very good which makes it even more interesting for me. 

The Dior ones you see are a little bit more glossy but not too much. The color is really long lasting, especially for the Addict one. From all the lipstick Yves Saint Laurent is the most glossy one but they also have my favorite color. This one is perfect for spring and summer which is called Rouge Pur Couture. I also have this kind of coral color from Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet. This is a long lasting so much dryer than the one from Yves. When I go to a dinner I always use this one instead of Yves because the color takes much longer. At last the shiny gloss from Lancôme. What I really like about this one is the fact that in the begging it's a real gloss but at the end, when you have eaten all the gloss, you still have this lovely pink glow on your lips. 

The ones I didn't called but are also in the photos are Dior Rouge Nude, Chanel Coco Shine and Yves Saint Laurent Volupté (don't know it you can still but it actually..). You can shop them all by clicking on the name by the way! :)

I hope you guys loved this new make-up Monday post and that I have inspired you with some new cravings when it comes to fashion for your lips. Coral kisses from here!! XX

LET'S TALK ABOUT HAIR CARE











MAKE-UP MONDAY It's time for a new beauty post! Time is passing by so fast. I almost need to hurry to finish these articles in time. The topic for today was simple, you guys are asking me lots and lots of questions about my hair care routine and which products I use. So here are my secrets to keep my long blonde hair healthy. I hope you enjoy them!

To be honest I never go to the hairdresser. I usually hate it to go. All the hairdressers are almost scared to use a scissor in my hair because my hair stays healthy and it's not really necessary to cut it. I don't know if it is just good genes or the products? Okay kidding. I take good care of my hair but I do it in a normal way. Just a usual 10 minute shower and everything is done! 

I always start with my shampoo. I do take a lot, and than I mean a LOT, shampoo. Because my hair is so long I of course need more shampoo than somebody with sorter hair but I also really like to wash it with much foam. Therefor I use Herbal Essences Volume Shampoo (I recognize it by the orange color, than I know I have the right one). I'm addicted with this amazing smell. After using your are guaranteed with fresh smelling hair! Herbal Essences isn't also very expensive! I don't like to spent so much money on my hair routine so this one is perfect for me. 

After using the shampoo I always take a hair mask for my ponytail. At the moment I use Gliss Kur Total Repair Mask. This one isn't also really expensive and very good. Before I found it I used L'oréal Intense Repair Mask. L'oréal is more expensive but the quality is always the best. I also think it's good for your hair to vary in the mask, than your hair will not get used to the same product. 
So, after I did the mask in my hair it's time to do it in a knot and have it in my hair for some minutes. Meanwhile I have time to wash the rest of your body and shave my legs. When I finished this I can wash out the mask so my hair is clean.

That was all for me. I let my hair dry a bit while using a towel and afterwards I brush it out. To brush it easily I always use Gliss Kur Hair Repair Spray. This one is my angel, don't know what to do without. Use just a few sprays around and brushing your hair after a shower is getting real fun, so easy! This is a product that I highly recommend because it is just so good and also not expensive at all!

Now I go sleeping. To let dry my hair it takes hours so I always shower in the evening. I don't use a blowdryer or anything else, just go to sleep with wet hair (even though it can be so cold sometimes). Maybe that's also one of the things which keeps my hair in a good condition, avoiding blowdryers or other hot plates. My advice to you: don't use them if it's not necessary. Of course you can make curls somedays or straighten your hair, no problem, but if you use something hot don't forget to take a good serum to protect your hair. Mines is from L'oréal Lumino Contrast and I use it every morning when my hair is dry. Perfect for daily use and when you're using your hot plates. 

My last advice, don't color your hair and respect it the way your parents gave it to you. I never colored my hair and I am not planning to do it either (okay maybe when it gets purple by itself..). Believe me guys, respect your hair and your hair will respect you too! I hope you liked my tips and tricks and that they will help you out with your own hair care routine! 

Sending you all my love!

GUERLAIN MÉTÉORITES BUBBLE BLUSH












MAKE-UP MONDAY Hello folks! Let's start this day of the week with a new beauty post as I promised to do it every Monday. I really start enjoying making these posts, looking forward to them to be honest. I have so many ideas I want to share with you like my secrets when it comes to skin - and hair care, my daily make-up routine but also some great new looks and products. For today it's all about a product which I am currently obsessed with. It's from Guerlain called Météorites Bubble Blush.

What this blush basically is. It's more than just a cute compact blush to take with you everywhere you go. It's a creme blush so not a powder where you need a brush for. Besides the great colors they have the smell of it is also fantastic. It feels like you put hundreds of roses on your cheeks. For this one I used the color Pink, this one was the best color on my skin and I think it's just too cute for spring and summer. You can also choose for the color Cherry which is a darker pink. You can create a more heavy make-up look with this or if you have a darker skin this color will be better for you as well.

For me this is just the perfect blush on the go. In last beauty post you could see that I use the New Dior Blush for my cheeks but it's not really easy to take that one with you. I always use a blush-brush so that are two big things in your bag, not a real success. This one is totally the same color as the one from Dior (maybe the reason why I fell in love with it) and it's easy to take with you just in daily life or when you go on holiday. It is a pocket size where you don't need any brush for.

So how to apply this beauty? Like you can see I just make a stripe with it on my cheeks directly. Don't frighten of! You aren't done yet. After you did this on both cheeks you can spread the color with the top of your fingers... Now the color will be spread on your cheeks and you'll look lovely! The finishing touch is your lips because you can also use it therefor. It's not a written rule but I did this and it looks really good. And hey, it's smell like roses but it taste like them too! Yum! For your lips you can better use your fingertips direly because the bubble will stay more beautiful and clean.

Hope you liked this new Make-up Monday post and that I just made you as enthusiastic as I am about this new product! You can find the link HERE to see the product directly and maybe buy it. See you tomorrow with a new outfit! Kisses from here! xxx
