Awesome/ Scary Looks for Halloween - Get inspired!
It's almost Halloween and the scary tutorials on Youtube are coming online one by one. Some are so cute and creative & some scared the hell out of me but are so awesome at the same time. It's a pity that we don't celebrate Halloween in The Netherlands. It would be so much fun to wear a costume of one of our favorite characters ^^. I've found some awesome Halloween make up tutorials on Youtube which I really wanted to share with you guys, just watch:
1. Ryuk make up & costume (death note)
This one is done by Youtuber QueenBeeuty. It was hilarious when I saw it at the first time. It's so scary but awesome at the same time. She really did a good job and I'm sure that it took heaps of time to do this.

Review: JUJU Cosmetics - Aquamoist Face Washing Foam
JUJU Cosmetics is a famous Japanese brand with 4 product lines including Aquamoist. Their Aquamoist line is similar to the products of Hada Labo. At least, according to the products that they are selling... I don't know about the quality of the products. However, I have heard so many good things about both brands. Therefore I wanted to try a product of JUJU Cosmetics. I was searching for a good face wash, so I gave the JUJU Cosmetics Aquamoist hyaluronic acid washing foam a try.

Review: Handmade False Eyelashes from Bornprettystore
Bornprettystore has become a well-known online store this year. They sell nail art products, eye lashes, lenses, accessories and many more. Their assortment is getting larger and larger and I'm always curious what they will add next. Bornprettystore.com offered me a pair of handmade false eyelashes for review purposes. I've always wanted to try handmade fake eyelashes, so I was so happy that I was able to try these out. The brand name of the eyelashes is: 台湾亮金金精品假睫毛 (纯手工制作 M-4). Just to make sure that you won't get confused: these are NOT Princess Lee eyelashes!

Review: SXUC Burly Tortoise Sunglasses
It is still summer but too bad it doesn't really feel like summer in The Netherlands. Thankfully there were a few sunny days here. Sunglasses are the perfect accessory for sunny days! Our eyes are precious so it's important to protect them from UV. Sunglassesshop.com has recently sent me a couple of sunglasses for review purposes. It's an online shop which sells a lot of sunglasses from well-known brands like Ray Ban, Prada, D&G, Oliver Peoples and more... The online shop offers a wider selection of sunglasses than local shops in The Netherlands. In this blogpost I'm going to review a pair of sunglasses of the brand SXUC.

Happy Mooncake Festival - 中秋節快乐!
Happy mooncake festival everybody ^o^! Have you'll been eating mooncakes lately? Many people love to eat the mooncakes with eggs in it, but I prefer the ones without egg xD. I wish I was in Asia right now to celebrate it. This is such a huge festival in Asia. Two years ago I celebrated it in Hangzhou with a few friends. It's always so beautiful and crowded during this festival. I even had the chance to light my own sky lantern back then ='D. My friend (Weiyi, which you see in the video) and I did need a bit help from local Chinese people to release it xD. Do you see all the lanterns in the sky? It's so pretty ^___^, watch the short video below:

Pump Dispenser for Nail Polish Remover
In this blogpost I would like to share this lovely beauty gadget with you girls. It's nothing new, but lots of people aren't using it yet. These are also sold at drugstores and at stores like Sephora and Zoya. However, these stores are selling it way too expensive then it is. Therefore it's better to buy these on Ebay. What am I talking about...? I'm talking about the useful pump dispensers. You can easily use this to store your nail polish remover or your face lotion. What's so great about pump dispensers? I will show it below ^___^ ..

Review: Rosette Hello Kitty Peeling Gel (Apple Gommage)
In this blogpost I'm going to review the Hello Kitty Peeling Gel of the brand Rosette. Rosette introduced a limited edition collection last year with a kiki & lala (Little twins stars, Sanrio characters) theme but also a Hello Kitty theme. Yes, it was last year when they introduced it into the market, but many stores are still selling them. Many people say that this product is the cheap version of the Cure Natural Aqua Gel and I can say in advance that it's not exactly the same.

Hada Labo Gokujyun Moisturizing Cream Review

I've tried the Hada Labo Gokujyun Super Hyaluronic Acid (SHA) hydrating face lotion before and it's still one of my favorite products that I'm using. I purchased a bottle of that lotion the other day together with the Hada Labo Gokujyun Moisturizing Cream that I'm reviewing in this blogpost. I have a combination dry skin and I was searching for a good moisturizing cream for a long time. Have you used any Hada Labo products before?

I've been using this anti-aging mask for 5 weeks and I'm going to review it below, so keep on reading if you're interested ;).

Nail art brushes
I bought a set of nail art brushes a month ago. I think that many people already have this set since it's not something new anymore. There are 15 brushes in one set, some brushes are orange, some are white and some are brown.
Price
I bought this set on Ebay for $1,69 with free shipping. Not expensive at all for 15 brushes, so it's definitely worth to buy. Unfortunately the seller from whom I bought it from doesn't sell it anymore. However, I'm sure that there are other sellers on Ebay who sells it for the same price.
Packaging
It comes in a nice & simple packaging which is made of plastic. The packaging keeps the brushes together.
Quality
The quality of the brushes are so-so. The softness is ok and the hair won't come off easily while using or cleaning it. However, the brushes aren't easy to use at the beginning, you do need to practice. Even a straight line can be difficult at start, but it's easy once you get the hang of it. Besides, these brushes are quite hard to clean, the color of the nail polish will still remain a little bit on the hair. I will make a tutorial about how you can clean nail art brushes on a good way later.. so stay tuned ;).

Summer hair tutorials for long hair
People with long hair can do a lot with their hair. They can have a lot of different hairstyles, but they just don't know how to do it. In this blogpost I will share some Youtube videos with a few hairstyle tutorials for the summer.

1. Lilithedarkmoon
Hairstyle guru Lilith models for different hair salons in Paris. She participates in shows, workshops and trainings where the latest trends in hair styling are presented. Lilith has 100 videos on her channel which are all related to hair and it's mostly for people with medium to long hair. This is probably the only channel I know with the most hairstyle tutorials and they are easy to follow as well. In this video below you will see the waterfall braid hair tutorial:

Square Rhinestones For Nail Art
We all have seen the round rhinestones for nail art before right? I often read magazines like Nail up to get some nail art inspiration. I have seen lots of nail art designs with square rhinestones lately and it looked pretty so I bought it as well :D. I actually like these rhinestones more than the round ones.
There are 1800 square rhinestones in this wheel and 12 different kinds of colors as you can see below.
Price
I bought these on Ebay for $2,49 with free shipping at seller Art-La-Lic. I was very satisfied with the service of this seller. The shipping was quite fast, it took around 10 days to arrive at my place.
Size
The size of the rhinestones is 2mm.
Style
There are different ways to put it on your nails which is the fun part of square rhinestones. I'm going to show you a few below. Which style is your favorite out of these 8 ^o^~?

TALLY WEiJL Shoes - Oxford Heels
I finally had the time to go to TALLY WEiJL last week. I haven't been there for two months or so, so I was very excited to visit that store again. I posted about their Fall collection 2011 a few weeks ago, click here if you've missed it. As some of you might know, this lovely company became one of my sponsors hihi ^___^ ♥. They sponsored me a pair of shoes this time and I was able to choose it myself at their store. I chose a pair of oxford heels. I totally fell in love with it while I was at the TALLY WEiJL store ♥_♥! On their website it's called the Lace up high ankle boots. They are €29,95, not expensive at all! What do you think? Looks cute right ^o^?! I will show you some close ups of the heels in this blogpost :).

How to make nail polish dry faster?
How to make nail polish dry faster? It usually depends on how many layers you apply or how thick you apply the nail polish. The thinner the coats the faster it will dry! We can use different ways to make the nail polish dry faster. Here are some examples: You can use quick-dry polish as your main coat and a fast-drying top coat. You can dry your nail polish with a blow dryer. Set your hair dryer to the coolest setting and blow dry it for 2 minutes. It's also possible to dip your nails in cold water for about 40 seconds to make the nail polish dry faster. The cold temperature helps harden the nail polish. I recently bought a nail dryer which works as well.

Cow print nail art tutorial
MOOOOOO~!!! Today I'm showing you my latest nail art creation which is the cow print nail art. It was extremely easy to do this (I say this all the time lol >.<") . I only used a dotting pencil to create the black stains. AAAAH! It looks so cute right haha ^-^~!
Step 1: Apply a base coat and let it dry.
Step 2: Apply a white nail polish and let it dry.
Step 3: Draw some black stains with a dotting pencil on the 4 nails. I used the white dotting pencil here.
Wait till the 4 nails are dry, before you start with your thumb nail.
Step 4: Apply 2 large black stains on your thumb nail.
Step 5: Use a light pink nail polish to create the nose. No dotting pen is needed to create the nose, just use your nail polish brush. Leave some space between the nose and the 2 large black stains.
Step 6: Create 2 small stains between the pink nose and the large black stains.
Step 7: When it's dry, apply some eyes and nose holes with your dotting pen.
Step 8: Apply a top coat when all nails are dry.
What did I use for this tutorial..?
- Base & Top coat from HEMA, Dutch store
- Dear'Lee black nail polish
- Dear'Lee white nail polish
- Catrice #210 Just married
- White dotting pencil
