Beauty Buzz; Peachy Summer Look

This week try out a new lightweight, fresh new summer look. You don't need a lot, just a bronzy cheek  and a peachy lip. Tie your hair back to keep your crazy "fly-away hair" in tact (like me). I used Bobbi Brown  Duo Mascara (one side is Extreme length and the other is No Smudge waterproof), Ideal for vacations along the sea.

Tone your face with fleur d'orange water (orange blossom water), it is refreshing and energizing. 

 Then moisturize, I use a moisturizer with SPF in it and I recently started using a BB cream. The BB cream is nice and light weight with a higher SPF. it evens out red spots and gives the skin a glow without looking like a cake.

I use my fingers to apply the BB cream, the warmth of your hands will make it set well.

Apply Bronzer with a flat brush, right underneath your cheekbones and on your temples  in upward motion.

 Smile slightly and apply a peachy-coral blush to the apples of your cheeks.

This season I am into the peaces and cream orange lipstick to complete the look.

Pink & Other Stories

 This spring it's all about the pinks. In Milan I went on this beauty haul and stocked up on the pinks at &Other Stories. Foe those who know this store, I also happily share that you can expect the first one in Amsterdam end of this year (situated in Heilige weg). Unfortunately for me I won't be around Amsterdam since I am moving back to Curaçao this week. Cannot wait to wear these fresh bright pinks on the island!

When it's cold outside and your covered head to toe, wear funky print pants that peek out from underneath your warm coat and wear a pop of color on your lips!

Spring Beauty Trend: Neon Lips

 This season hot pinks and corals are hot! Think fluorescent or even neon color. It makes me happy, a bright pout like that. Above beauty images from Spring/Summer2013 runway shows; (left to right)  Dries van Noted, Missoni and Giles 

Here's my secret :)  

Above; A bright coral color (YSL - Extreme Coral) with a neon pigment dabbed on top (MAC - Red Electric). The pigment will help the lipstick set, intensify the brightness and stays on (almost) all day!

Chanellow!

I have been Chanel-schooled. s of today I start working for Chanel, to promote their new fragrance Coco Noir and their new make-up line Rouge Allure. 

When I entered the training room, I was in awe. We got greeted by our trainer and Chanel ambassador. After we took a seat in velvety gold chairs at a pearly with gold trim table. 

It was so interesting learning about how the perfume is made at their own plant and laboratory. Learning about the exact ingredients and learning how to smell a scent.

Beauty Products; Eye Shimmer

Every year around the holidays MAC Cosmetics brings out a set of pigments, I love them! I tend to want to buy them every year, but honestly I take for ever with one little pot. You really only need a tiny tad bit and the color is very intense already. I wanted to give some to my dear friend because It feels like a never ending pigment. I found the perfect solution, Pill boxes! They are easy to take with on vacation (so you don't need to take the whole bottle or to share with friends, which I did. Hope you can use this tip! XO
