2013 TILL NOW #1 #Beauty

Olraight!

It has been a really long time ago now.. and I can't say I'm really back..
There are a lot of things chancing in my life for the moment, that's why I really can't find the time for blogging..

I'll give you a little update by sharing you some pictures from my instagram "cupcakenele":

Special oil for soft skin near you nails! Love it!

Remember the first Deauty - box ???

I really loved the little bottle "micelaire water with roses" from Nuxe!

So I bought a bigger version of it and got a second bottle for free ! (double hooray!)

 Cute and low-budget perfume !

The first hair mask I bought myself! and I loved it! (re-buy!)

Sample fun! (Vichy, Roc, etc.) 

Sample fun: Auriga (new brand for me)! Loved the little bottles but wasn't so over the top about the serum that was inside..

Sleepovers (sister on the pic) = facial masks! We love facial masks!

Kisses,
CupcakeNele

Thursday, the 3rd of January

Still haven't told you about my first beauty school at Ici Paris XL!

It was really an amazing experience!

Estée Lauder!

I went there with my mother-in-law

Of course I couldn't resist buying me some new stuff:

* Sparkling Clean - Mattifying Oil-Control Lotion

* Daywear - Anti-Oxidant Beauty Benefit Creme Broad Spectrum (SPF 35)

* Advanced Night Repair - Synchronized Recovery Complex

Also doing magic to my skin:

* Idealist - Pore Minimizing Skin Refinisher

* Idealist - Even Skintone Illuminator

Unfortunately I ran out of money so for now I'll have to do it with the samples she gave me..

But they are both definitely wishlist-material!

To end the day in beauty she also gave us three little perfume samples!

A very happy me, just before we left there!

A little delayed - approx. two weeks I guess -
(Lucky the neighbour saved it for me.. for more than two weeks.. *ahum*)

Everybody should 've seen or heard about it by now..

- or else you've been living under a stone the last few weeks! -

DEAUTY!

the first Belgian beauty-box!

What to say about Deauty?

If you're a bit interested in beauty you've already heard everything about it,

but it's ok if you still don't know everything about it.. 'cause deauty is the combination of the words discovering and beauty.. so discover it, discover the first Belgian beauty-box Deauty! I love the name!

It 's not only in a name. It 's an amazing concept and they thought about it very well!

I love the logo, the bird with the mirror.. it's like the old post-dove who brings you something you can be proud of, the old post-dove who comes by to show you how beautiful you can be. Olraight, it ain't a real dove, but it's a more sophisticated bird: a hummingbird. If I think about a hummingbird I think about fast and tropical.. Well hello, I could go on and on about the logo on his own - I really can't hide I love graphic design! - but I also could tell a lot about the lay-out of the matching box, the letter inside the box,... well, one word: GREAT JOB! It looks really perfect! (Did everybody noticed that the deautybox fitted perfectly in the postpackage? awesome! -> I love packaging design!)

Well hello, you should almost forget that there's still a content in that box!

And the content of the Deauty isn't just a beauty content! AWESOMENESS inside! you're warned!!!

Still a lot of other good brands on the Deautylist! - Oh god, I love Estée Lauder and Essie!!! -

But for now:

* I love Essie! nice color! I'll try it this evening already! -> funny name: size matters

* Nuxe, Redken -> didn't tried this brands before but I'm very curious about them! Heard a lot of good comments on this brands before.

* Serum from Clarins, not my favorite brand but I love serums!

* last but not least: the legendary Mythic oil (L'Oréal).. One of my wishlist-items! Hooray! Doesn't really dare to say I didn't tried it before! Scandalous I guess! This one 's also "on the test" this evening! Can't wait!

You can still order your Deauty for October, but hurry!

Friday, 24th of August

Hah!

need to say it: HALLELUJA, welcome (back) to the era of internet!

Damn, life without internet seems like "mission impossible".

But hey, I have a lot to talk about now!

Just before I left to live my life without internet (for more than a month!) I told you about the nail polish I got from Bourjois! I've tested it several times and still need to tell you what I think about it!

I also gave you a short update about the washing machine we bought.. A few days later we also bought our refrigerator, so: "more to come" about that too!

What to do without internet!? Can you even imagine it!?

Well, our television broke down so that wasn't an option. Not that I care so much, I don't really like watching television.. I think it's kind of boring..

So here are the other options:

* We worked hard at our house. Only a few months left now until we can move in! -Getting too excited!! (There's still plenty of work!)-

* Trying a lot of products that I still need to write a review over now!

* And trying to live a healthier life: eating healthier food, sitting on the bike again, going to bed earlier,...

Well, that's it for now, I'm so happy I'm back!

Sunday, 17th of June

I got my hairstyling advice from a friend of a friend of mine

at Pukkelpop 2009 (= a Belgian Music Festival)..

He also did my hair:

not a flattering picture.. but this one was taken on Pukkelpop 2009!

And here are some ME's true the years from then:

23th of August, 2009

on the train back home from Pukkelpop 2009

first time doing my hair with my own straightener!
22nd of November, 2009

New Years Eve! 

31th of December, 2009

pure natural.. 3th of March, 2010

10th of June, 2010

Not the most flattering pictures but this is how my hair is without any styling.. a little curly.

9th of February, 2011

17th of July 2011

18th of July 2011 (Natural)

Jep, I wear glasses!

and I actually hate it..

23th of September, 2011 (Natural)

9th of May, 2012 (Natural)

In the beginning I hated it, but through the years I started loving my natural (curly/wavy) hair!

#MyHairCare

When I'm done with cleaning my hair (shampoo and conditioner)

it's time to get it back in shape!

first of all:

L'Oréal Studio Straight!

Actually I don't know the price of it because I once bought three bottles at once, this is my last bottle of the three I once bought.. almost finished and definitely a re-buy!
I've seen that my favorite product now has an other package and it's subdivided in the productline "Studio Silk & Gloss" from L'Oréal!
I actually apply it on wet hair to protect my hair (for heat).


After that I blow-dry my hair with this one: 

Babyliss Expert 1900

Actually this one once was a christmas-present I got from my mom..
and to be very honest.. I wasn't happy at all with this one.
She knew I was looking for a professional hair dryer..
So she thought she'd make me happy with this one..
but she doesn't know a think about all that stuff..
and didn't realized that this one can't do everything I want to be able to do with a hairdryer..
Well, she did her best.. but too bad her best wasn't enough for me this time..
anyway, I'm happy with it and I use it constantly..
but I'm also a little sad that I don't have a professional hairdryer..


On the other hand I'm very happy about this one:
my straightener !


I looked out very carefully which one to buy and spend a little more money then supposed.
But this is the one who made it three years ago (in 2009)..

Braun ES2 Satinliner 

He really is my baby.

I only use him on clean hair!

I'm so careful with it that he still looks like I just bought him!

Oh how I love this one!

#MyHairCare

A few years ago I started using Gliss Kur (from Schwarzkopf)..

And now I'm a little addicted to it. But it's not that I only use Gliss Kur Products for my hair,

I love to use other hairproducts too! (More about that soon!) I just love to test new stuff actually!

I was using the total repair shampoo.

But as I found a new Gliss Kur product-line last week I really felt the need to try this one first!

I've already tried some products of this product-lines:

for unmanageable dreary hair

I love the smell and feeling of this product-line!

It's really worth the name, it really looks and feels silky, and therefore a bit luxurious.

for long hair, sensitive for splitting 

for dry and damaged hair

for unmanageable fluffy hair

for strongly damaged and dry hair

for damaged thin hair

I'll review them all at once, but that will be for another time!

Which one do you want to see reviewed first?
