FASHION / CHEAP & TRENDY SUNGLASSES

I was looking for some trendy sunglasses and I knew THE place to find them: China. I found them (after searching for a long time with a lot of keywords) on Aliexpress and they were cheap af! They're not a brand and of course not the highest quality but I abuse my sunglasses so much, plastic is better for me! The only downside to Aliexpress is that it takes around a month to arrive in Europe. The website is actually really safe and they guarantee you'll get your money back if something isn't how you wanted or it didn't arrive. Check below for the links to these exact sunglasses and let me know if you order (& receive) them :)

FASHION / WECANDANCE

Last weekend I went to WECANDANCE - a dance festival on the beach with a focus on fashion and food. I went last year, loved it, and when I heard the theme this year was 'desert dreams' I just had to go! I love dressing up and I couldn't pass on wearing my culture with pride!

Outfit:

Pants - H&M

Crop Top - New Look

Caftan - vintage (from my aunt)

Jewelry - I don't remember? probably some H&M, ASOS & small jewelry stores

Since I was going for the "badass desert princess" vibes I chose to put on a lot of eyeliner for an intense arabic look, gold eyeshadow & glitter, a lot of highlighter & bronzer and a dark purple-grey lipstick.

Make-up:

Lips - NYX liquid suede (foul mouth)

Eyes - NYX loose gold glitter, NYX metallics palette, Urban Decay Naked Basics, Loreal Telescopic mascara, Chanel waterproof eyeliner

MAKEUP / TOUCHE ECLAT (YSL X ELLE)

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to collab with YSL. For the 25th anniversary of the legendary touche eclat they chose me and 24 other belgian bloggers to participate in an awesome video project. I got my hair and makeup done and had a scene where I had to party and dance. It was the first time I was actually in front of the lens (other than my own) so surreal! I've always had a passion for 

modeling

 / acting so this was kind of a taste of that! You can read the article

FASHION / ZALANDO X REEBOK X FACE STOCKHOLM











I recently worked with Zalando to promote the new Reebok sneakers in collab with the make-up brand FACE Stockholm (https://www.zalando.be/reebok-shop-dames/?).  I chose a matching outfit and shot the whole look fitting my aesthetics. The sneakers are reworked and have a color palette that fits the makeup brand.

SKINCARE / TAKE THE DAY OFF BY CLINIQUE

before and after: liquid lipstick and mascara removed with the makeup remover for stubborn makeup.

For this article I collaborated with Clinique to test out their 'Take The Day Off' make-up removers. As someone who plays a lot with make-up and has dry & sensitive skin, I'm always looking for skincare that fits me. 

First of all, the packaging looks really clean and fresh. Both make-up removers are allergy tested and 100% fragrance free (something my 

sensitive

 skin really needs, so that's a huge plus for me!).

The cleansing balm (round jar) is a coconut oil like, solid balm that transforms into a fluid oil upon application. It doesn't have any smell and takes off make-up with ease. It's not greasy and not drying, so perfect for all 

skin types. I put it on my face directly with my fingers and take it off with a washing cloth.  

The other make-up remover (bottle) is a liquid, watery substance (water is also the first ingredient) that mixes with a dry oil once you shake it and lifts stubborn eye & lip makeup. I tested it out by removing mascara and liquid lipstick with a cotton ball (see photo). It does leave a greasy layer so it's best to go over it with some water. It's also really good for sensitive eyes and doesn't irritate.

Personally I would use both products at the same time. The cleansing balm is ideal for taking off face makeup and the liquid one removes eye makeup, mascara and lip products really quickly and easily. I have tried both products a few times and haven't gotten any irritation or breakouts. approved!

Take The Day Off cleansing balm

 and the

Take The Day Off make-up remover for lids, lashes and lips

cost around €28,80 and €19,90

BTS MODEL VIDEO

A short BTS video I made of my latest shoot! The weather was amazing and I stepped out of my comfort zone by shooting in harsh afternoon sunlight. We were waiting for a beautiful sunset but the sun just disappeared behind the clouds...Oh well, at least I caught the moment before.
