Help needed!

Published by

Time to be honest! Ever since having 2 children and between trying to combine those with a full time job, a househould and the blog, my organisational skills have been tried and tested, failed and improved, put through the wringer and strechted to the extreme. Shortly put, they have been the cornerstone and foundation of my day to day life, the difference between (somewhat) smooth sailing and utter stress and desperation. The school/daycare/playtime schedule has been perfected, weekmenu’s are created every weekend and their wardrobes and daily outfits, well let’s just say I’ve got that down to a t. My beauty organization however is in shambles. Lost between products to test in 2 storage cupboards, a bathroom cabinet, a bathroom drawer, a shelf and a nightstand, my skincare and cosmetics collection is nothing short of pure clutter, and I forget to use at least half of the great stuff that I have, only because I don’t know where to look first. Additionally, clutter drives me crazy and turns me into a nervous wreck, so my …

To say that I love masks is an understatement! I have a bathroom cabinet filled to the brim with them, am spoiled for choice when I want to target a specific problem and would do one every night if my skin allowed it.

I already spoke of some of my previous favourites in an earlier article (can be read here), but these are the three that I’ve been reaching for the most the last few months. I must admit that there is a number 4 that has taken the top spot, but that French beauty deserves a post of it’s own! To start off, the Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Mask is the mask that isn’t one.

Wishlist Material – dr. brandt detoxygen experience.

Oh oh oh wat hou ik van dit masker!! Mijn favoriete beauty-man Marc had me voor de feestdagen een sample gegeven van het dr. brandt detoxygen experience, en onlangs, na een  aantal zware dagen die hun sporen hadden nagelaten, heb ik dit masker bovengehaald om te testen. Before: rood gevlekte wangen, schrale vlekken, grauwe huid en wallen zo diep en donker dat er een dier een winterslaapje in kon doen. After: Instant Love! Dit tweedelige masker belooft een ware beleving te zijn voor je huid, het eerste deel gaat je huid ontgiften en zuiveren, het detox gedeelte, terwijl de tweede stap de zuurstofopname van je huid gaat boosten, oxygen dus, en deze gaat beschermen. Na doorlopen van beide stappen zou de huid er voller, egaler en stralender moeten uitzien. Of zo wordt er toch beweerd in het persbericht. Zoals de naam al verraadt is zuurstof de basis van dit gezichtsmasker. Er zijn heel wat omgevingsfactoren (aerco, luchtvervuiling, …) die ervoor kunnen zorgen dat het zuurstofgehalte in de huid gaat afnemen, met roodheid, een vermoeid uiterlijk en …
