    FriYAY! I’m really excited for tonight because I’m going to the YSL Black Opium Experience party in Amsterdam. Can’t wait! The theme is Rock chic. When I think about this theme I see black, leather and silver. I immediately though of my favorite designer Tony Cohen. I know I wanted to wear something from his collection because it’s fits perfectly by this theme. Thanks to Cream PR was this possible. I choose for this beautiful black dress with some silver bling on it.

    Well just get ready with me for the party! Enjoy the pictures!

    et’s start with my favorite ‘Hawaiian Kukui cream‘ from the blissful rituals. Hawaiian women are their whole life exposed to the Sun, and to restore their skin they use kukuïolie. This moisturizing oil restores the suppleness of the skin for a shining result. The high content of linoleic acid provides hydration and nutrients for the skin. Therefore the Hawaiian Kukui cream is very suitable for dry skin. The smell is amazing! That’s why it’s my favorite.The Body Shop - Secrets of the World 4 The Body Shop - Secrets of the World 5
    The Japanese camellia cream contains oil from the beautiful Camelia flower that for generations, is used by women to soften and moisturize the skin. It is a rich oil which good moisturizes and strengthening properties. This rich, velvety body cream makes the skin silky smooth and gives a subtle and floral fragrance. The ingredients are illipe butter, shea butter nourishing, restorative mango pit olie and protective vitamin E.

    This invigorating massage oil stimulates the senses and revitalizes the skin. The massage oil is inspired by traditional Thai massages and contains lemon grass. The smell of the massage oil shakes your senses awake and helps improve the vitality.

    Charcoal powder is an ancient Asian beauty secret proven to draw out impurities from the skin, up to thousands of times its own mass. It has traditionally been used to draw out tensions from the mind too, de-stressing and calming.  It’s a kinda mask for your whole body. The consistency of the product is quite thick and a dark grey color which dries very quickly into the skin. One point of critic is that the dark grey color is hard to remove, also under the shower. But the skins feels firmer and softer and I would highly recommend this product!The Body Shop - Secrets of the World 8 The Body Shop - Secrets of the World 9
    The dead sea salt scrub comes from the category Revitalising Ritual, which stimulates and renewed the tired body. Research has shown that salt has a therapeutic effect on the skin, but not every salt is the same. Salt from the dead sea is rich in minerals such as magnesium, calcium, potassium and bromine. It’s a powerful product which remove dead cells and will clean and softening the skin.The Body Shop - Secrets of the World 6
    The African ximenia scrub  contains oil from the ximenia tree that in Africa known as the tree of life because of the softening, nourishing and strengthening properties of the oil. The ingredients in this scrub are glycerin and nourishing shea butter. The smell is soft and floral. After use your skin feel softer and smoother.Beside that you don’t need an apart body lotion, because the smell remains a while.

    orning babes! Yesterday I had the opportunity to get my hair done by Renee Somers, color specialist by Kevin Murphy. It was really necessary to do my hair, because my last time was a year ago. Oeps!!!

    First I wanted to do something crazy. Like black hair with some grey ombre  just what Kylie Jenner had. But I think I will regret it, after two weeks I probaly done with it. So I decided to go for a more natural look. We talk about the Balayage trend, a French paint technique that dates from the seventies. This technique gives the hair more shine and depth and a beautiful natural look. My hair was really light and I wanted to go back to my natural hair color, which is dark brown. Because of this we decided to do not the Balayage but a coloring with three different (dark) brown colors and a drop off mahogany for a warmer glow.

    After the coloring I got a Treat.Me treatment. Treat.Me is a customized in-salon deep conditioning experience inspired by skincare. It’s base of some nature’s best ingredients with skincare technology to improve the texture, shine, moisture of the hair. It’s like a facial but than for your hair. It’s remove coarse particles using soft and natural fruit acids (AHA’s) from Papaya, citrus and pineapple. It gives hair moisture and strength and leaves the hair soft, manageable and shiny. To this effect it is recommended to maintain this treatment once every 6 to 8 weeks.

    Wow! I really can recommend this treatment. My hair felt soft, shiny and it’s looks very healthy.  Then it was time for my hair cut. Well  just watch the pictures!

    Thank you Renee for your time and advice. The products that Renee used was from Color.Me & Kevin Murphy! I’m so happy with my new hair! Curious about you opinion.

    Event | Masterclass Make-up by Xelly Cabau van Kasbergen

    beauty masterclass xelly Cabau van Kasbergen - Make up book - Hunkermoller - Wendy van Soest 1
    Beauty begins the moment you decide to become yourself! True to that! Last Wednesday Hunkemöller invited me to join the beauty masterclass of miss Xelly Cabau van Kasbergen. I immediately accepted the invitation and together with Phoebe (Hunkemöller) we enjoyed a morning with filled beauty talk with and useful tip & tricks. Can I please do this every morning? Xelly teached us how to make a funky eyeliner which will be perfect for a festival. An upcoming trend this summer, is to use bright colors on the lips. So don’t be afraid to use purple or pink. I never tried a funky eyeliner before and I admit, I’m terrible when it comes to making a straight line. Lucky for us Xelly explained everything about beauty & care in her book ‘Make-up‘ which you can buy now in stores and online. If you are a newbie with make-up or an expert, Xelly shares all her secrets about beauty and gives helpful tips & tricks for everyone. Make-up is definitely a must for every girl/women.

    After a lovely beauty morning it was time for a delicious lunch together. The spinach soup was DELICIOUS! I really need that recipe. While eating we asked Xelly more and more questions about skin care & beauty products. Now it was our chance to ask an expert and we certainly made use of it, haha.

    At the end Phoebe and I where aloud to interview Xelly about her #unforgettablesummer. Curious about our questions and Xelly answers? And do you want to win Xelly book? Click HERE!!

    Enjoy the pictures!!
