GOT MY NAILS DONE

As you all already know I dyed my hair last week at Benthe Hair & Makeup.
After that it was seriously time to get my nails done. My nails are not that strong and when I got some nail polish on them, it's a mess after one or two day.. I just can't find a nail polish which stays longer than a couple of days.
Then Benthe told me about the O.P.I. gel nails.. Perfect for me! ;)

So this saturday I went to Benthe again to got my nails done, and this is the result!
Got the O.P.I. color 'My vampire is Buff' on my nails, which is kind of offwhite. I really like it :)
It fits with every outfit, right?

The nails will be like this for two weeks and after that the polish is easily removable without damaging your natural nails.. Next time another color!

NEW CUT & COLOR

Sometimes it's time for changes, right?
For a while now I needed one of those changes and decided to give my hair a new fresh color for spring.
'Cause I'm moved to Maastricht I had to look for another hairdresser than were I went to before.. And seriously, I'm freakin' out when my hair is totally a mess, so I really needed a hairdresser which I could trust. I think you all know how some (well, actually many) hairdressers can totally screw your hair.. Yep, that's horrible! 

I asked some people where to go here in the south of The Netherlands and someone told me to go to Benthe Hair & Make-up.. And I can definitely recommend it!
So yesterday I went to Benthe in Meerssen (it's a small place near Maastricht) to cut and dye my hair.
I wanted some kind of minimalistic ombre, with some brown in it and the most important thing: It had to be kind of blonde with a violet flow in it. Difficult, I know..
The fun thing is that Benthe (the owner of the salon) wanted to be sure about the color, so she called one of the faces of Redken for some perfect advice. And this is the result! I'm more than happy with it! It's gonna be a bit lighter after some shampooing, so I'm still sort of a blondie ;)

This saturday I'm going to Benthe again to get my nails done, so those pictures are coming later :)

NEW HAIR!

I got a new haircut from today on and I had to share it with you!
It's also a little more white again.. And the new 'thing' is the super straight fringe which continues in my haircut on the sides as you can see. Just to get it a bit more edgy, I like it!

FRAGRANCES

Besides the burgundy checked scarf, the burgundy beanie and some other stuff I also received these two frangrances when celebrating Sinterklaas (the holiday in The Netherlands) last week.
Actually I didn't knew the frangrances from Zara were so delightful, until I had to wait for a package in the Zara store (it took a long time) and I decided to smell all the fragrances. I almost loved every perfume.
I'm really happy with the Oriental one, it's perfect for winter. Sweet but a heavy smell at the same time, love it!
And talking about lovely perfumes, this little fragrance, called Japanese Cherry Blossom, from The Body Shop is seriously amazing!
It's a perfume oil, so it will smell a little longer than normal perfumes. It smells like you're wearing some newly washed clothes or you just came out of the shower. And it's only 10 euros or something like that. 
You should try it, you'll love it! :)

Do you have any tips for a lovely perfume?

NEW IN / NIVEA BB CREAM

Like a year ago I discovered the BB (Blemish Balm) cream: a day cream and foundation in one!
I really love the BB creams, just because I'm too lazy to use a day cream first and a foundation after it..

For now I bought myself this one from Nivea. I seriously love the softness and smell of the Nivea creams, so what's better than thát softness and smell including a foundation?!
I totally recommend it, it feels so light and healthy on the skin, totally not like a big fat foundation.
There are 2 different colors of the Nivea BB cream: the BB cream light, for the light skin, and a darker one, the BB cream medium, especially for the dark skin. Unfortunately I'm as white a snow white at the moment, so I'm using the light one ;) Hurray!
Maybe it's nice to know something more about the cream:
As you can see the cream has a 6 in 1 formula:
- It moisturizes the skin
- It tones the skin
- It camouflages imperfections like redness and spots
- It equalizes the skin and refines the pores
- It makes the skin softer
- It protects the skin because it contains SPF10

And actually, that's not all:
The BB cream is quickly absorbed, is enriched with Vitamin C, Mineral Pigments and Provitamin B5 and therefore it has an intensive nourishing effect.

Sound great, huh?!
