#2 Unboxing Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Cube

Hi y'all! So today I made a video about unboxing this amazing Lip Cube from Revlon. But I also want to review them and let you see the swatches. There are 9 lipsticks in the box, full size! My dad bought this in the airplain when I went to Vancouver. He bought this Duty-Free, it was 45 euros. That's so not expensive for these amazing lipsticks. The colors are great, you can wear them daily. As you can see it's a lustre finish, I don't like lustre that much but now I tried these I think a lustre finish is not that bad.


This is the package, I thought it were small lipsticks because of the price. But they really are full size so that's really great!

This are the lipsticks, as you can see the colors are so pretty. I love the design of these lipsticks, so classy with gold.

And here are the swatches, you can see it's a lustre finish. You have to apply a few layers to get the intensive color.

TIPS AND TRICKS: How to avoid acne?

Nobody likes pimples or blackheads, it's very important to clean your face everyday to avoid them. I have some tips for you to avoid your breakouts. Remember, nobody is perfect everyone has some pimpels or blackheads. So it's no crime to have some!

1: Wash your face twice a day, it's important to clean your face with good products that suits your skin type. If you have an oily skin use something that is recommended for an oily skin. If you have a sensitive skin, don't use products with a lot of alcohol or perfume in it. I love to scrub my face, I do it like once or twice a week. Don't scrub your face everyday, it will irritate your skin. Also if you wash your face too often it will only dry out your skin. 

2: Food is very important if you want to avoid pimples. Eat enough vitamins it will help your skin to be clean from the inside. Fresh fruit and vegtables are good for your skin because there are a lot of vitamins in it like vitamin C and E. Try to eat fruit and vegtables with vitamin A, this helps to flush acne-causing proteins from the system. Also drink a lot of water, like 2L a day. It cleans your intire body! Pimpels form when excess oil clogs your pores, so limiting the amount of oil that you put into your body in the first place is a step in the right direction.

3: Treat your skin well, buy a good face mask and apply this once a week. Face masks are very good to clean your face and calming the skin. Your skin will feel soft and hydrated. But don't use a face mask more than once a week! Lush has some great face masks, I love Mask of Magnaminty, this mask will help you to get rid of your imperfections. 

4: Protect your face against the sun. They say that your pimples will dry out if you lay down in the sun but that's not really true. Your pimples will become more red and inflamed. So use a good sunscreen if you are going to lay down in the sun. Be aware that some sunscreens have an oily base so read the product good before you use it. 

5: Avoid too much skin products. Too many gels, creams and lotions can clog your pores and lead to pimples and blackheads. Never wash your face with a normal soap it will irritate your skin. Also use a foundation that suits your skin type. If you have a oily skin don't use a gel base foundation or an oily foundation. If you have a sensitive skin, use a light foundation or maybe a bb cream. 

6: Avoid touching your pimples or face. Your hands are always full with bacteria. You can get infections or your skin can get very irritated. Popping pimples will only prolong the healing time of it. It's the worst thing you can do. It's very easy to touch your skin or face even if you are not aware of it. Your phone is also full of bacteria! 

7: Exercise! It will increases circulation that delivers more oxygen to skin cells and carries cellular wastes away.

If you have a lot of acne and it won't get away with these tips or with anything you do to avoid them. Consult a doctor and maybe they have a good stong cream for you to get rid of your acne.

Review: Garnier Skin Natural Mat Control

Hi guys! Today a review about the Garnier Skin Natural Mat Control. I bought this product yesterday and I really love it. I never saw it before I think it's kinda new here in The Netherlands. During the day my skin gets a little bit shiny and I hate it. So this is my favorite product now haha! It will last 8 hours and it will mattifies the skin non-stop. It's for a mixed skin with imperfections. Apply it before you do your make-up, I use it after my daycream. The skin will be mattified for 86%, the skin will be refined for 82% and the pores are less visible for 68%. The package is really fun too because they used a matte package for the box and the tube too. I used it today and I already can see that my skin is not as shiny as before. It's 4 times more absorbent and it hydrates the skin too.If you have a little bit of a oily skin or your face is shiny I really recommend this product!

10 tips for new youtubers!

Hi guys! I've got a lot of questions about youtube and people are asking me for tips so I thought let's make a post about it! I am new on youtube and I was like oh that's weird seeing me like that in a video. But you have to get used to it I think. I love making videos and I hope I can inspire people. So here are some tips!

1: The most important tip is to be yourself. They have to like you not a person who is not real

2: Use a good quality camera, make sure your viewers can see what you are doing 

3: Do your make-up and hair. Put on a cute outfit so people can see what your style is and maybe get inspired by it.

4: Be original, you can watch other youtubers and get inspired by it but don't copy it.

5: Subscribe and like other youtubers/videos so you can be noticed. 

6: Make sure the lighting is good in you video. Same story as the good quality camera.

7: Use social media to let people know that you are on Youtube. Instagram is good to get noticed and get to know other youtubers. 

8: You can do a youtube channel with your friend to make it less awkward. You can also promote each other and get more subscribers. 

9: Be confidant, there are a lot of new youtubers and it will not go perfect the first few times. The professional youtubers started from the bottom aswell.

10: Don't give up! If you like to make videos, don't let anything stop you from doing it. 

Good luck with your channel!

Primark cleansing products!

Hi guys! Today a review about these cleansing products from Primark. These cleansing products are very new to me I never bought anything like that before at the Primark. So I wanted to try this out.

I bought a facial cleansing pad, a gentle facial wash and a 24 hour deep hydration cream cleansing lotion. The package is really colorful and cheerful. These cosmetics are dermatologically tested.

I use the lotion to remove my make-up and it will hydrate my skin at the same time. I love the facial cleansing pad because you can clean your face deeply. I apply the gentle facial wash on the pad. Make sure your face is moistured and rinse your face with lukewarm water. The facial wash has no fragrance, it has Aloe Vera and Seaweed extract. The lotion has argan oil extract, it makes your skin soft and fresh.

These cleansing products are €2,00 so I think it's worth to try it out. They have a lot more products at the Primark like masks or other lotions and day/night creams. 

Much love 

5 great beauty products under € 10,00!

Number 1: Essence lipliners (Honey Berry and Satin Mauve)

I love these Essence lipliners. If you don't want to buy expensive lipliners you should buy this one. It's only €0,99. The quality is great and it will last like 4 hours. I bought 15 Honey Berry, it's a good red/pink color. The other one I bought was 06 Satin Mauve. This one is a little bit similar to Soar from MAC Cosmetics. It's a nice natural color, you can wear this lipliner daily. You can combine this one with Brave from MAC Cosmetics. Like Kylie Jenner combine Soar and Brave. 

Number 2: Victoria Secret Body Mist

You are thinking why the Victoria Secret Body Mist? That's like €20,00. Well I bought them for €9,00. A drugstore in The Netherlands sell them once in a while for that price. So I bought 8 of them because I love the Victoria Secret Body Mist. Love to wear this in the summer, because it's a fresh and light. I think this is a really musthave! They have body lotion too of Victoria Secret. I didn't bought one yet but I definitely will one day!

Number 3: Catrice Ultra Fine Eyeliner 010

I don't wear eyeliner that much so I don't want to buy a very expensive one. I was looking for a good eyeliner and I found this one from Catrice. It's an liquid eyeliner and it has an ultra thin brush applicator. You have a waterproof one and just a regular one. It's an intensive black color and it's easy to apply because of the thin brush applicator. It will cost you only € 2.99!

Number 4: MUA Lipstick Bordeaux Red

Want a good bordeaux red lipstick? This one from MUA is great and it has a creamy finish. But it's very easy to make it matte with powder or a tissue. You can buy this at a drugstore in The Netherlands for €3,49 or you can buy it at the MUA webshop. Because of the creamy finish it will last not very long, maybe 2/3 hours. A matte finish will last longer, like 4 hours. 


Number 5: Rimmel Londen Long-Lasting Kate Moss Lipstick

I was looking for a red/purple lipstick and I found this one from Rimmel Londen (Kate Moss line). Love the package of this lipstick! It has a matte finish and it's a long-lasting lipstick. A perfect dark nude color. You can buy this lipstick designed by Kate Moss for €9,99

10 tips for self tan mousse application!

Want a nice and gentle tan and want to do this at home? There are a lot of products you can use, like self tan mousse, spray or lotion. A mousse is soft and light and easy to apply. There are many brands that have self tan mousse. I'm experimenting with some of them so I will make a post of that later. Now I have some tips for you for the perfect self tan mousse application!

1: Make sure your body is free from any perfume, oil or deodorant. This is necessary for good results!

2: Take a shower before you apply the mousse. And when you are under the shower, use a scrub to remove the dead skin cells. This is for a better tan!

3: If you want to apply the mousse on your face, use a moisturiser before you apply it.

4: Let it dry for 5-10 min before you get dressed. Don't wear something white or any light color after you applied a tan mousse.

5: After 4-6 hours your tan will be ready to wash off. Apply a mousse before you go to bed, so it can dry overnight. When you wash it off don't take a long hot shower. Just rinse it quickly.

6: Use a moisturiser everyday to maintain your tan and ensure its longevity.

7: Most of tan mousse don't protect you against the sun. So please read your tan mousse good before you use it. This also applies to whether it's suitable for your skin type.

8: Use a mirror when you apply your tan mousse, so you can see what you are doing.

9: Apply a little bit of Vaseline on your eyebrows to protect it against the tan mousse.

10: Most of the tan mousse will fade naturaly away in 3-7 days it depends on the product you use. Once it happens, it's time to reapply!

Review: DR van der Hoog Purity Scrubcrème

Hi! Today a review about this purity scrubcrème from DR van der Hoog. It's for every face type and it's with purifying plant extracts. I love this product because it's 100% soap free. The natural almond particles cleanses your skin mild. This delicious scrub removes excess sebum and stimulates the production of new skin cells. The particles are small, so your skin will not be damaged. I think it's very important to clean your face every day. Even if I don't wear make-up, I love the feeling of a clean skin.I prefer using a scrub once or twice a week. It smells delicious because of the grapefruit and lemon extract, very fresh. There is a lot of alcohol in this product and in other products of DR van der Hoog. So if you have a sensitive skin you may have to use another brand/product.

This product will cost you: € 8,99

Gift Guide by Angela

Hi y'all! It's almost my birthday and people are asking me what do you want for your birthday? And I really don't know. There are so many things I want. I made a list for people, with some ideas to give me for my birthday. And I was thinking I can share this with you, maybe you have a birthday of a friend soon and you don't know what to give them. So I thought I give you guys some ideas for lovely gifts.

Lush products, fresh handmade cosmetics. They have lovely and colorful products like frizzy soap balls, masks, hair products, bodylotions or showergels and it's perfect for a gift.  It's not very expensive so you can choose a view things or maybe just a mask or some frizzy soap balls. Want to shop some Lush gifts? You can go to their website: https://www.lush.com/ or visit a store nearby.

MAC cosmetics products. It's a little bit expensive but they have a view things you can give as a gift. Maybe a lipliner, lipstick or make-up brush. It's a little bit difficult to choose a good foundation or powder for someone else. So go with an nude lipstick or liner, a color they can wear daily. Want to shop some gifts at MAC cosmetics? You can go to www.maccosmetics.com or go to a store nearby. For the dutch people under us, you can go to www.douglas.nl or a Douglas store for MAC products. If MAC is too expensive you can choose an other brand that is less expensive.

Rituals giftsets, you can shop these giftsets at http://eu.rituals.com/nl-nl/cadeaus/cadeaupakketten/. This are special boxes with a view Rituals products in it. Rituals has lovely cosmetics like showergel, bodylotion, scrubs, body mist and a lot more! Perfect to give someone for his or her birthday. Also you can buy only a bodylotion or bodygel for example. Who doesn't love to get some great cosmetics?




Accessoiries from H&M or other great fashion stores. A lovely bag or just a stunning necklace. Choose something that will suit your friend. Look at the accessoiries they already have. Or you can give a gift card from their favorite fashion store so they can choose what they want.

Home Decorations, also a good gift to give someone. Decoration for their livingroom or bedroom. Beautiful flowers or a frame with a picture of you and your friend. Stores you can find some decoration: http://www.hm.com/nl/department/HOME. http://www.ikea.com/nl/nl/?cid=nl|ps|exact|go|43700005434441063|no, and for the dutch people: 'Action' has some great home decoration too.

Do you have more ideas? Please feel free to mention it to us!

Review: MAC Brave lipstick

Hi guys! Today a review about MAC Brave lipstick. Fabienne already showed it to you but I'll review it for you. It's an satin finish and I love this color on my lips. It's a little bit darker than my own lipcolor. Very good for an nude look! You can combine it with the Soar lipliner, the famous combination of Kylie Jenner. You can wear Brave with a lot of different looks too, it's an lipstick you can wear everyday.

Swatch:

I think Brave is an really musthave for your MAC collection!

Review: MUA Eyeshadow Palette - Undress Me Too

Today a review about the MUA Makeup Acadamy Professionals Eyeshadow Palette. This Eyeshadow Palette has the name: Undress Me Too. It's an 12 shade palette with soft neutrals and cool greys with stunning gold metallics. You can create all kind of looks with this beautiful palette.

I don't wear a lot of eyeshadow and if I use it I use Naked, Reveal and Shy, the soft neutrals from this palette.  If I have a party or special event I use shades: Fiery, Lavish,Wink, Obsessed and Corrupt, the greys with gold metallics. Perfect for a smoky eye effect. It's a great palette and for a good price too (€ 5,99). You can create a perfect nude look with this palette! Also very good colors to highlight your eyes with or contour your face a little.

Review Mac Lipliner Beet

I love these lipliners from Mac, it makes my lips fuller.The color fits well with my blue eyes and my hair color. You can use this lipliner for perfect red lips.

5 reasons to visit Amsterdam!

I love to travel and visit all kind of cities, to shop everywhere and meet new people. I live in The Neterlands and I love to shop in Amsterdam. It's an hour ago from my place. They have so much stores and lovely other things to visit. Amsterdam is such an inspiration. Here are 5 reasons to visit Amsterdam.

Reason 1: As I said there are a lot of great stores in Amsterdam. MAC pro store, Lush, Rituals, American Apparel, Urban Outfitters, Topshop and more! I love to shop, new make-up or new clothes. All the stores you need are in Amsterdam.

 


Reason 2: The beautiful canals and sightseeings. You can make beautiful pictures of Amsterdam. Or you can get inspired by the beauty of it.

Reason 3: Museums, you have a lot museums in Amsterdam. You have Van Gogh museum, Rijksmuseum or Madame Tussaud. Very popular and you must visit one if you are in Amsterdam!



Reason 4: Food and Drinks. There are so many restaurants in Amsterdam. Sushi, grill, pizza or Chinese whatever you like. You have everything and of course Starbucks, for a quick coffee. There are a lot of clubs and bars too, if you visit Amsterdam in the late hours.


Reason 5: Nature. Yes of course, the nature. Those dutch tulip fields for example. Amsterdam has great nature reserves and parks. Like the 'Vondelpark' that's a very popular park. You can go there for a walk, go jogging or a little picknick.

How to wash your hair, the right way!

You do this practically every day, you take a shower and make your hair wet. Use some shampoo and conditioner and you're done. But it is not as easy as you think! Here are some tips to wash your hair, the right way.

1: Brush your hair before you wash your hair. This ensures that you disappear the loose hair . Also brushes your gel and hairspray already out of your hair.

2: If you have long hair, conditioner first. If you have hair beneath the shoulders: protect fragile ends from drying out and further damage by using conditioner through them. Do this before you use shampoo. Your hair will be shiny and healthy too.

3: Temprature water. Yes we love hot showers especially when it's cold out side. But this is not good for your hair at all! Don't use cold water too, your hair will not be clean if you use cold water. Lukewarm water is the best you can use to wash your hair.

4: Use shampoo and conidioner that is made for your hair. There are a lot of shampoos and condioners lately. If you have frizzy hair, use a shampoo or conditioner made for frizzy hair. Or if you dyed hair, use a shampoo or conditioner to protect your hair color. Volumizing shampoos tend to leave hair drier.

5: A large amount of shampoo can dry out your hair . Provide a good amount!

6: How often you wash your hair depends on your hair type too. If you have normal or dry hair you can lather up two or three times a week. If you have oily or fine hair you may have to wash your hair daily.

7: A scalp massage while washing stimulates blood flow and reduces the risk of hair loss. Also a massage is relaxing. Put your fingertips (not your nails) on your scalp and make small circular motions.

8: If your hair is wet it's fragile. So dry it gentle and not very hard.

9: Hair mask, treat your hair well. Use a hair mask once in a week to give your hair a boost. It's relaxing and your hair will smell dilicious, feels soft and looks shiny. Use a mask that is made for your hair. 

Review: Garnier Intensive 7 days lotion with Aloe Vera.

Hi guys! Today a review about one of my favorite bodylotions. It's from Garnier, the intensive 7 days line. It's a hydratable lotion, this one is with Aloe Vera. This lotion is for a normal skin. What I love about this lotion is that it absorbs quickly. The skin feels hydrated even 7 days after you used it. Your skin will feel soft and fresh after using the Garnier Intensive 7 days lotion. After you used it 7 days: leanness -37%, roughness -42% and suppleness +34%. It also smells delicious and fresh. I love using this lotion after shaving my legs to hydrated them.

You have a lot more bodylotions from Garnier Intensive 7 days. Also for dry skin or extra dry skin. They have mango oil or honey extract in it.

Use it only on your body, not on your face.
