Make-up storage!

Hi guys! So I was looking for some make-up storage boxes and holders. They are very hard to find, there are only a view good sites I know but that's very expensive. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on storage. But I found some great ones at a regular home decoration store. They were only € 1,49 and they look very cute. I also bought a drawer lately were I can storage my make-up in. I showed that one in my Room Tour video. I think it's very handy to have some storage things for your make-up (collection).

 As you can see I need 2 more MAC Cosmetics Lipsticks to complete this storage holder haha!

Here are some sites I know who sell make-up storage things for a good price:
http://www.containerstore.com/shop/bath/cosmeticsOrganizers, http://www.lightinthebox.com/nl/c/cosmetische-potten_23266 . Or you can maybe look on E-bay!

This is a little bit of my daily make-up stuff and my brushes. 


For the dutch people under us, Big Bazar and Action has some great things so now and then. I bought mine at Big Bazar and  the drawer at Xenos.

IKEA has some great storage boxes too, but I don't know if they have them right know. I bought one there last year I think.

So if you want to collect make-up or have a make-up collection. I really recommend to buy some storage boxes, drawers or holders. Just to organize your make-up and make it look good.  I really like to organize stuff haha! If you have any idea of other (web)shops who sell them please let me know. And if you know how the storage looks in my room, check out my Room Tour video!

PLL TAG!

Hi guys! So we just made a new video,  this time about Pretty Little Liars. We really love this serie and if you didn't watched it yet you have to! Because it's mysterious and shocking sometimes. But also very girly and fun. If you didn't watched it yet you better don't watch the video haha, spoilers everywhere! The actors and actress are so good and pretty too. If you are planning to watch a serie soon, we recommend this one. There are now 5 seasons so there is a lot to watch. You won't regret it. 

Pretty Little Liars is an American teen drama mystery–thriller television series loosely based on the popular book series of the same title, written by Sara Shepard. Set in the fictional town of Rosewood, Pennsylvania, the series follows the lives of four girls, Aria Montgomery, Hanna Marin, Emily Fields, and Spencer Hastings, whose clique falls apart after the disappearance of their leader, Alison DiLaurentis. One year later, the estranged friends are reunited as they begin receiving messages from a mysterious figure named "A", who threatens to expose their deepest secrets, including ones they thought only Alison knew. At first, they think it's Alison herself, but after her body is found, the girls realize that someone else is planning on ruining their perfect lives. * source Wikipedia *

We did the PLL TAG, so if you want to know what our answers are you can see them in this video.

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! 

Much Love

American Apparel outfit

Hi guys! A while a go I bought an outfit from American Apparel and I'm so in love with it. It is very comfy but still very fashionable. It's a long pencil skirt and a crop top with long sleeves and a crew neckline. The fabric feels soft and it suits my body very well because of the stretch.

I bought it in Amsterdam with Fabienne. We were just fitting some clothes and I was trying this outfit. No intention of buying it. But when I tried it on I was in love. I asked Fabienne: what do you think about this? And she said wauw that's great! And that's when I bought my first American Apparel outfit.

You can buy the skirt on: http://store.americanapparel.net/jacquard-mid-length-pencil-skirt_rsa0387j. And the crop top on: http://store.americanapparel.net/long-sleeve-crop-raglan-jacquard-sweater_rsa0389j

It's available in two colors, grey and red/purple. I love the print and it's not something everyone will buy I think. You can wear it as an outfit or you can combine it with other clothes. The crop top with a high waisted jeans or a 'tennis' skirt. Whatever you like!

'Triangle' Bikini H&M

Hi everyone! I just bought a new bikini and I'm so in love with it. You know those Triangle bikini's, they are so expensive and I don't want to spent a lot of money for just a bikini. Now I found a 'Triangle' Bikini at H&M. The top is a push up with padded cups. There are two colors, neon pink and grey. I bought the neon pink one because I love a bright color for a bikini. It's 89% polyester and 11% elastane.

The trend of 2015: The Bomber jacket!

We can't get enough of the fashion out the 90s. There are a lot of good memories of the 90s. We had Mc Hammer with Can't Touch This, The Backstreetboys, pacman, spicegirls, the high platform shoes and ofcourse the bomber jacket! This was more for the diehard hardcore fans. But now in 2015 it's back and fashionable. You don't have to be a hardcore fan to wear it anymore. Everyone is wearing them now.You can combine it with so much! A simple jeans, a oversized hoodie or combine it with your favorite sneakers. Also very trendy with overknee boots or chelsea boots. It's not only very cool for women to wear also for men! The bomber jacket is also very comfi and practical to wear. There are so many different bomber jackets now with different kind of fabrics/materials.

Here is some inspiration:

Let your eyebrows or eyelashes grow! (Castor Oil)

Got a little bit too fanatic with epilating your eyebrows or your eyelashes are not very long? Then I have a solution for you! Castor oil will create thicker eyebrows or let your eyelashes grow. It's for sale at different drugstores.

Spread it on before you go to sleep and after 2 weeks you will already see results. Castor oil is also good for your skin, it makes it soft and it's good recovery of the skin. It makes your pores free of bacteria. You also can put it in your hair (just on the tips). Because of the Omega 9 it will give your hair a healthy shine. If you have frizzy hair you can use castor oil too.

Castor oil is an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant oil which had been used for centuries for it's therapeutic and medicinal benefits. Although it has a strong and unpleasant taste. So it's mostly used for cosmetics, soaps, textiles, medicines, massage oils and many other everyday products.

The comeback of Uggs Australia

Are you hiding your Uggs in the back of your closet and became only secretly to wear inside? I have good news for you because Uggs is making a comeback in 2015. VOGUE said you can wear them again this year.

Last year the Birkenstock sandal made his comeback to the fashion world. Now it's up to Uggs Australia to climb their way back to the high fashion world.

But Uggs are going to be worn differently this year. Stylish and glamorous. Certainly not with sweatpants. Wear them with a no make-up look. Combine it clever, it's all about the contrast this year. For example, combine it with a good boyfriend jeans or a vintage dress. Of course you can wear it with an oversized knit, a good top or blazer.

What do you think? Uggs hot or not? Are you going to wear them again this year or are you going to let them stay in the back of your closet?

To be honest I bought them last month and I don't regret buying them.
