A good year after my first 'What's in my shower' post, it is time for another roundup of bath and body products I've been liking. I am back with an overview of the treats that have been ruling my shower routine for the past four months or so. HAIR CARE ♢ Garnier Ultra Doux 'Marvellous Transformer' For shampoo, I've been liking...

This blog post has been long overdue, but nonetheless, here it is! Back in Spring, my friend Emmy and I booked a short break to Paris. We were discussing how we both longed to escape Belgium so we decided to just go for it. A spontaneous trip ended in us having the best time, wandering along the Seine and...

Facial mists are a beauty product I considered unnecessary for a long time. However, since I learned about the subtle, yet powerful skin-changing effects they add to my beauty routine, they have been a daily essential. In the past few years I have used an array of face mists - both those that are marketed as skincare and...

Instagram: @lysclr I have a confession to make... I have been kind of very much obsessed with Instagram this year. The photo app offers an incredible variety of material. As it's continuously expanding, I often catch myself browsing for snaps, to catch a glimpse of people's interests and discover talented- both professional and non professional! - photographers every day. While I'm...

Life is like a box of chocolates... Except I'd much rather get a box filled with luscious bath products to choose from! Lush Cosmetics have got that covered, so when my local store offered an array of new gift sets earlier this year, I had a hard time resisting. The Rosie gift set with mind and skin relieving treats...

Who said having great eyebrows requires a lot of maintenance? If you liked Benefit's bestseller Gimme Brow, then you'll be thrilled to hear that German drugstore brand Essence have released their own interpretation of the tinted brow mascara. Make Me Brow is a brilliant dupe to its popular, high-end sister. Clearly I'm not the only one who has...

A shower essential that is often overlooked, is body scrub. A weekly scrub session offers various benefits for the skin: not only does exfoliating remove dead skin cells, it also boosts blood flow, resulting in healthier, brighter skin, and helps any moisturising products applied afterwards perform better. After all the work you've put in deep-cleansing in the shower,...

In the light of Mother's Day, which is coming up soon here in Belgium, I thought it'd be fun to give you a glimpse into my mum's beauty collection. While my mum isn't all that crazy about makeup, she's got quite the perfume collection! Its latest addition is Paco Rabanne's Olympéa eau de parfum, which came in a...

Earlier this month I celebrated my 23rd birthday, bringing me another digit closer to 25. So unreal! Even writing it down is still kind of weird. I'm currently at a point in my life where I'm about to make some big changes - finishing university and starting the job hunt isn't far away anymore! I'm actually really excited....

Let's do a throwback to October of last year, when my skin decided to have a very unexpected freakout (thanks again for that). I went from a normal, somewhat sensitive skin type to clearly dehydrated combination skin in just a matter of days. There is no way I could know for sure what caused it; it could have...

March was a busy month for travelling. Not only did I visit friends all over the country, I also travelled to France... twice! I hadn't been there in five years, so I was very excited to admire the beautiful French architecture, pretend as if I were a true Parisian for a few days (or am I the only one who does...

Combining face masks for a custom, at-home facial experience has been a popular skincare trend for a while now. The idea of this method, also known as multimasking, is simple: you use a specific formulation on targeted areas of the face for optimal results. Since each product has a particular purpose, such as purifying, hydrating, exfoliating, etc., applying it...

As I'm writing this we are halfway through the Winter season, yet here in Belgium we have actually had mild weather conditions for this time of year. Well, depending on what you'd consider as typical Winter weather. I'll oversee the fact that I unsuspectedly walk into rainstorms all the time (that's what you get when you live in...

Click the items in the collage to check for availability Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and while I told myself I wasn't going to do any Cupid-themed blog posts this year, I couldn't help but feel inspired when I saw Axelle's beautiful collage yesterday. I'm personally not one to jump with excitement for this particular holiday, but...

A new year calls for another roundup of beauty favourites! As I was rummaging through my makeup and skincare drawers, I realised that most of my beauty purchases from the past year came from the drugstore. I feel like it hasn't gone unnoticed in the blogosphere that drugstore brands have really upped their game, yet I was still...

2015 was cool. It was a year of clarity in the sense that I have fully appreciated my luck and opportunities, being where I am and being surrounded by a wonderful group of friends. It was also a year in which I pushed my limits to reach goals and was sometimes still faced with the harsh reality that...

Happy 2016 everyone! I hope you all had a great start into the new year, whether you spent it celebrating or not. I had a cosy night in with family, playing board games and eating lots of good food. To kick off the new blogging year as well, I thought I'd give you a peek of the makeup I...
