Angora wool

Lana Del Rey with a pretty jumper but... there is more to it!

Angora wool comes from the angora rabbit. Normally they have to use loose fur. In a video of PETA they show us that mostly they are using the WHOLE fur, so they pluck the animals bald. This must be very hurtful for the animals. Therefor H&M stops working with this industries and they're taking the fur out of the stores. Go H&M, so proud of you! Other brands... leave the bunnies alone, you too sweet Lana...  

How to use makeup (the basic)

Good makeup is all a girl needs.. well that's my point of view, and I admit I can't live without it.
Yesterday they were two girls in a shop.. just talking about makeup. The girls were telling each other they were afraid to use it. The key word however is practice.
I started to do makeup when I was 13 years old.. just at home. I loved my mothers case.

When I was 16 I started to use foundation (the brown stuff)... and I admit I had my blunders: too brown, too light, forgetting my neck.. I  did it all. The teenage boys in my class would always asking me: why you use it, stay natural. The truth was.. using makeup to look natural was the hardest thing. 
I said was.. now I'm 23 and it's just 5 minutes and I'm done. Don't be afraid it doesn't have to cost you 7 years to learn. Now in the world of blogs, YouTube, Pinterest you're going to learn fast. The only question is: are you ready to get started?

1. Concealer
They all say something else.. so I'm just going to share what works for me.
Pick a color lighter than your foundation/skincolor. Bring it UNDER your eyes + a little bit on your cheeks (check picture below). The concealer has to be thick: a stick is a good idea.
Use  finger to blend. If it looks light.. don't worry: the foundation (2) will go over it and makes it darker anyway.
If you want a brand.. MAC is always a good investment.

2. Foundation

The hard part: picking a good foundation.. better to go lighter than to go to brown. 

It's just not good that people are seeing to hard that you are wearing makeup. Stay classy, so stay natural. You can always make yourself 'browner' with powder afterwards.. so don't worry. 

Pick a store with good lightening to check the foundation on your hand: choose one with a yellow undertone, better than a pink one: again to stay natural. 

Beginners keep 1 color for ALL  the face, experienced girls can use more colors to get dept.

Good brand: Loreal Infaillible (I use sand, when I was younger darker: honey)

Also of course Mac (like always)

3. Powder

Powder your whole face with one good NATURAL (keyword) color: keep it simple. This is the trick to let the makeup stay for hours. Use your brush but don't take the makeup OFF your face with it. 

Any brand is good, loose powder is better (it doesn't stick at one place).

Create dept with BLUSHING POWDER. Here you can choose your own thing. Just don't overdo it. 

Pink.. on top of your cheeks. (OVAL SHAPED girls)

Brown (a little bit), on the sides of your cheeks. (SQUARE SHAPED girls)

4. Finish it.

Here you can go as far as you want... 

Putting mascara on isn't really a problem for a lot of people (good job!). Just don't forget to actually use it... it's the basic for a clean and healthy look. What I think it's important that you divide your eyelashes.. hate when they stick together. Have fun chicas, the world of makeup just opened for you, questions? Just ask!

Spotted

A fashionpost.. for my bestie Fashionestra (go check this belgian Carrie Bradshaw).Trying to keep up with you doll, but also.. you asked for a new post, so here it is. Of course for you dear visitors, just trying to share a piece of my style.  

The shoes... yes please

This girl got it all. Going for this hairstyle myself. 

The whole thing please.

Plaid and stripes.. why not?

Loves,

New girl

Started watching the show New Girl and I totally love it.
The first episode however is pretty weird!
But you just have to give it a chance... and you'll see it becomes a good kind of weird. The story is about a girl (of course).. who moves in with 3 other guys after her breakup. She is a girly-girl who likes to sing and is extremely positive.. little miss sunshine. With her ridiculous cuteness, she brings out the best in people. The show is funny too and it is just 20 minutes per episode, but enough time to bring a smile on your face. I got a new role model... who's that girl?? It's Jess.

Don't let other people bring you down...
