Halloween 2011

Finally i have some to time to write on my blog. I was quite busy with school last couple of weeks. So here it is, my halloween costume. I went as a robot. I sometimes have to show my geeky side :)


This is me as a robot and my best friend Philizz , who went as emo.(he also makes great videomixes which you can check out by clicking on his name)

MangoFool

What to do with the mango? There was one on the table for a week now. It was finally eatable. I wanted to make something special with it. So i decided to make a mangofool(yes it is really named that.)


I made my own variation with from bottom to top:some tropical syrup, yogurt, mangofool, chocolate and tangerine

For the real mango fanatic:

Ice cream and a bra

Indeed, a bra and ice cream. Good combination I must say, because it was buy a magnum temptation ice cream and win limited edition Marlies Dekkers lingerie. Specially designed for magnum. And I won. Also my sister has won one. So we both were happy girls.



It went like this: In June you could win a Marlies Dekkers lingerieset by eating Magnum temptaion ice cream. It was easy, buy the magnum temptaion ice cream, go to the website marliesdekkersformagnum submit and maybe you are lucky. And I was! actually we both were. You had to fill in some personal data and on which day and where you wanted to pick up your set.

Sice the 500 sets of this limited edition line were not made yet, every winner had to wait until last week.
On October 12, we went to the Marlies Dekkers store at the Berenstraat Amsterdam to pick up our amazing looking and also very well fitting Marlies Dekkers set.


the set with the bag

I really like the pink with brown colors ans the swirls. Those are based on the magnum temptation ice cream colors and substance. The design of the set is also great.
What I also like is the new style of the Marlies dekkers storagebag. They used to be black or white most of the times. This is the new one. A really nice see trough gold color with satin ribbons and blotting paper with also the design of the bag.

Arrrr! Weigh anchor!

Visiting the Benefit Browbar

September 9, I went to the Benefit browbar. I visit the browbar for two years now. It´s a kind of addiction in think but a good one. I like it when my eyebrows look perfect. It also feels nice and clean.

Najat, my favourite brow specialst, works at the browbar for almost two years now. She is the one who always waxes my brows. And yes she is really fantastic at her job.

For this time i deceided to go on a friday afternoon instead of a thursday evening. I must say, i prefer the friday afternoon. Much more relaxing than a thursday evening. There's more time on a afternoon and that feels more relaxing.

What I really want and have to say: Browwaxing does not hurt! Ok, it's not completely painless but hey, it's really worth it. It probably looks like it hurts a lot because of the skin turns red. It gives less pain then using tweezers and the big benefit, it takes away all the little annoying hairs instead of just a couple. Very nice.

To give you an impression about how the browbar in Utrecht looks, here is a picture. As you can see, it looks really nice. And had quite much space.

The treatment takes place inside the bar.



Browwaxing works like this:

First, Najat will measure on which places of your face the brows have to start and stop so they will match your face.
After that the eyebrow areas are cleaned. Then the special wax with tea tree and aloe vera goes on your skin with a spatula. It feels nice and warm, not sticky. A waxing cloth is put on the place and in one go, Najat removes the hair, wax and cloth from your face.
There are always some hairs that will not go away, so they are removed with a tweezer.
To cool down the skin, you will get cooling gel with lavender on the waxed areas. Now it's time to cover the redness on your face and put on some make up. To hide the redness Najat uses the anti- bacterial boi-ing concealer. Your brow will get some powder and under brow a bit of eye bright is placed to lift the eyes and some make up for a nice finishing touch.

I also got my upperlip done, and yes that hurts a lot more then eyebrows, but it's worth it.

This is how i looked after:

On my face i have: boi-ing concealer, browpencil, highlighter and bella bamba cheekpowder all from benefit. On my lips a amazingly pink glittery lipgloss from make up forever. Unfortunately i do not know the name or number.

I am really happy with the result. That's also the reason why i always go back to the browbar. Najat gives you prefect eyebrows. But remember: eyebrows are sisters not twins.

So time for you now to make an appointment if you want nice eyebrows. Waxing your eyebrows + make-up will cost you € 21,-. Waxing your eyebrows and upperlip + a bit of make up €29,-

If it is your birthday, you will get a brow treatment for free!

All of the Benefit browbars in Holland are situated in Sephora stores inside V&D.

So let me know if you are the next one with a browbar addiction. Would be nice!
