How to enhance your natural glow

How to enhance your natural glow with @BurtsBees and @RENskincare and a few other great products

One condition for succeeding with your highlighted makeup is always to have a fresh complexion with natural glow to start out from. While this essentially is all about maintaining healthy basic skincare routines,…

Strobing – a small guide

Have you heard about the new beauty trend? Strobing? Funny thing about it: strobing is actually nothing else than highlighting. Only, usually when we do highlighting, we probably do it to balance up our shading and contouring. Strobing is different.

Beach Hair

I don’t know about you, but for me, beach hair is high on the agenda in the summer. A messy textured coif gives you the perfect too-cool-to-care look for the season; and provides a perfect solution for hot, humid weather or after a day on the beach! If you have natural waves, all you need for your tousled beach look is a texturising styling product and a hair dryer with a diffuser. Apply the…
