Vichy is known for their mineralized thermal water, 

but did you know they released a product that contains 89% of this special water?

And best part is, this special water is combined with hyaluronic acid and it contains only 11 ingredients in total, so this means there is less chance to a allergic reaction.

Let's discover this special product!

Vichy Mineral 89 is the first step in your skincare routine.

You can apply it twice a day (even on the eyes and lips!).

Gently massage it until the product is completely absorbed.

After applying this booster you continue with the usual steps of your skincare routine (serum, cream,...)

It is important that you apply this booster on a cleansed and dry skin.

So what are the results of this product?
You skin will appear fuller, smoother and healthier.
This product also improves the function of the skin barrier.
This barrier takes in all the aggresions that we face daily (uv, exhaust gases,....).
This product really is a booster for your skin, that will make your skin stronger.

Travel Guide - Roget et Gallet Fleur de Figuier

Today is the last day of my Travel Guide.

An important product for women to take with them on holiday, is a perfume.

Roger et Gallet created a travel set for those women.

They created this set in collaboration with Thierry Boutemy.

He is a Belgian florist who already has worked for Kim Kardashian,....

He is the one who came up with that gorgeous flower wall at the West-Kardashian wedding.

Once again, I choose the perfume 'Fleur de Figuier'.

I really love this perfume because it is flowery (but not too much) and it contains a little sweetness.

This travel set is multifunctional.

You can use this bag to pass the customs 

(because all your liquid products have to be in a see through bag).

And you can already take the items that are in it with you.

This travel set contains a shower gel (50 ml), handcream (30 ml) and off course the perfume itself (30 ml).

What kind of travel sets do you use when you go on a holiday?

Travel Guide - La Roche Posay Anthelios

And we continue our travel guide!
'Another suncream?' 

Yes, because in this assortiment by La Roche Posay, there is a suncrem included that you can apply over your makeup. 
Very handy for all the beauty addicts out there!

As you know, to me it is very important that we protect our children good.
I can't show enough suncreams for kids to be honest because there still are parents that don't protect their kids with a suitable suncream for them.

La Roche Posay Anthelios Dermo-kids is as the name indicates a suncream for kids.
This cream can be applied on a wet skin,
because kids are in the swimmingpool the entire day this comes in handy.
This cream is also good for kids with a sun sensitive skin.

This cream I like to wear when I don't have makeup on during my vacation.
When I wear makeup I use another protection (a little down below in this post!).

This is a dry toch gel-cream with an SPF 50+.
Most of the times SPF50+ creams are thick and sticky creams,
but this is a light gel that also matifies your skin, awesome!

This cream prevents your skin from producing tallow and sweat, so you won't shine during the day.
I LOVE IT! :D

But sometimes your wear makeup, applying protection of your makeup is not easy because you don't want to take it all off.
That's when I use this spray.
Once again, this is an SPF50, but in a micro diffusion spray.
You just spray it on, and it feels like a soft breeze blowing onto you skin.
It doesn't feel sticky or anything at all!
You don't need to rub it in (because you don't want to touch that makeup which is on fleek :D),
and it protects your skin from UVA and UVB.

Best part: as you spray it on, it also feels very refreshing for your skin.

Travel Guide - Darphin Soleil Plaisir

Another day of the Travel Guide series.
Today is the 4th day I am showing you guys some travel essentials.
For today I've chosen some great product, the products by Darphin.
Meet Soleil Plaisir by Darphin, which literally means fun in the sun.
And that is what we want this summer.

First, I've chosen a suncream for the face and the body.
Let's take a closer look at these products.

This suncream created for the face contains filters that will protect your skin from UVA and UVB.
These filters will prevent your skin from ageing (lines, wrinkles and dark spots).
This cream contains an SPF 50, this factor is high but is exactly what we need for our face during the summer.
Best part is, this cream also contains hyaluronic acid, karanja oil and vitamine E.
This vitamine smoothes the skin and gives it a youthful look.

This suncream has a fresh fragrance build out of white flowers.

Good to know: this suncream is waterproof!
Does this mean you only have to apply it once and you can swim with it the entire day?
No, at least every 2 hours you have to apply a new layer of suncream to be protected as good as you can.

Up next we need a suncream to protect our body.
This cream contains an SPF 30 to protect your skin.

This is a suncream, but also a caring product that will take care of your body.
It protects the skin from the first signs of ageing.
It prevents the skin from getting wrinkles and dark spots.
It has an extremely nourishing effect on your skin, so your body will feel smooth and soft.

The fragrance of this suncream is based on the scent of nuts, absolutely amazing!

Save the best for last, a sultry shimmering oil by Darphin.
With this oil you can treat your skin with extra radiance and a healthy-looking sunkissed glow.
The illuminators that are added in this oil, catch the light and enhance your skintone.
Because this is an oil, this product is extremely nourishing or your body.
But this is not a casual oil, it is a dry oil so it won't feel sticky on your skin.

It seems like this product is a little bit too much, but it will be gorgeous on your skin!
Believe me ;)
You will not feel like a shimmering disco ball, but it just enhances your glow and gives you a natural glowy look.

What is your favourite product out of this list?
Mine is absolutely the shimmering oil.

Travel Guide - Veet Sensitive Precision

Day 3 of my Travel Guide.

Another important thing we have to take care of when we go on holiday: hairs.

Yes, no matter what we have to do some epilation and that's where this product comes in handy.

Meet the Veet Sensitive Precision.

When opening the package of this product, we see a battery (yes it is included!).

And some pieces to fit on this tool.

Let's talk about the function of each and every tool that comes in this package.

Here you see the Veet Sensitive Precision and all the tools taken out of the plastic packaging.

I love how pink everything is.

I really am a girly girl (duuh because I love makeup and stuff :D), 

so I really like the pink touch this Veet has.

Now let's take a look at all the tools that are included and where we can use them for.

The first tool includedis this small trimming head.

It comes with an eyebrow comb.

You can place this onto your eyebrow and move it against the hair growth.

You can also remove the eyebrow comb and use the precision trimmer to shape your eyebrows.

Lightly push the trimmer against your skin and move with small motions.

This large trimer you can use to trim your intimate zone, your bikini line.

Press the Veet Sensitive Precision Tool softly against your skin and move against the hair growth.

The rasor blades will not touch your skin, so you don't have the risk of harming and cutting yourself.

When you want to trim the length of some hairs, you can do so with the large trimmer and its comb.

Use this comb and choose the length you would like to go for and just work your magic.

My Thoughts?

I really like this multifunctional tool that is easy to take with you.

I also like the fact that this tool is very soft for your skin, I really had no wound when trimming and it felt great!

I really think everyone should have this tool as an essential everyday AND holiday tool.

What do you think about this Veet Sensitive Precision Tool?

Have you tried it before or will you try it anytime soon?

Travel Guide - Vichy Idéal Soleil

 Part two of this week's Travel Guide.
An important step that we can't forget is protection.
We need to protect ourselves, but also our mini-me's around us.
That's why I am showing today sunscreen that is only sold in pharmacies.
Say hello to the Ideal Soleil by Vichy.

The product shown on the picture above is the first anti-sand fluid by Vichy with a high sun protection factor.
This is an SPF 50+ protection that also prevents the sand from sticking onto your body.
That way this protection offers you comfort and an extremely good protection.

The texture is a fluid, this means it is more of a milky substance that is easy to apply and does not feel sticky at all.
This sunprotection by Vichy is also suitable for the sensitive skintypes among us.

Now a product that I really like a lot.

This is the Ideal Soleil by Vichy which is made especially for kids.

It also has a high protection factor (50+), and also has the 'anti-sand' formula that prevents the sand from sticking to the body.

This Ideal Soleil protection, protects your kids from UVA and UVB.

Sometimes I don't really like a spray for kids because I don't see what parts o their body already have been 'sprayed'.

But Vichy found a solution for that:

This spray has a white formula, that way you can see what parts of your kid are protected and what parts you still need to do.

This spray is also suitable for sensitive skintypes and it does not contain perfume.

Vichy Ideal Soleil SPF 50 - € 20,35

Vichy Ideal Soleil SPF 50+ Kids - € 20,35

Travel Guide - Collistar Magic Drops - Collistar Supertanning Water

A lot of people will go on a holiday soon.

That's why I decided to make this week a week about traveling and the products you might need to get set for your holiday.

Today I am showing you some Collistar products.

Ready for take off?

I got myself two essentials I always like to use before my holiday, and when I just arrived.

The first thing is a self tan, I have a porcelain skin myself and I don't like to start the holiday as white as I am.

That's why I use a self tan a week before I start traveling.

These are the Collistar Magic drops.

With a few of these drops, a golden glow on your skin will apear like magic! That's why they are called the magic drops.

These drops will transform your sin as if you have been to the beach for a day.

It will give your skin a natural result, and Collistar assures us there will not be any stains.

Best part of all is, this self tan by Collistar also has an anti-age action that also hydrates your skin.

This selftan is lightly perfumed, but not overwhelming at all!

In my opinion, it just smells like summer :D

How to apply?

Evenly apply it on a cleansed and dry skin.
At first you won't see a color coming, but after an hour the first results are visible and your golden glow will start to appear.

This spray is really a lifesaver for me!

When I go on holiday I like to achieve a sunkissed tan and I really need some help with that.

This spray feels like a 'shower' on your skin.

A special shower that enhances the tanning procedure.

When spraying this shower onto your skin, it really feels refreshing and hydrating.

This spray neutralizes the drying out of you skin because of the sun and the aggresive salt in the wind and seawater.

This supertanning water by Collistar contains aloë milk that hydrates and nourishes your skin.

How to apply?

Just spray the product onto your body, face and hair. Be careful and avoid the eye area.

You can apply it as often as you like.

I like to apply it when I want to feel refreshed in the sun.

These are my two favourite products to enhance my tan, 

what are your favourite products?

Take a sweet vacation of tropical colour for lips and eyes.
The packaging of this MAC Fruity Juicy collection makes you instantly happy, get ready to discover an eye palette and a lipstick with me.

What I am about to say now, will amaze you.

I have never ever tried any MAC products before, shame on me!

(except their brush cleanser but that is no makeup).

So I am really curious about the quality and so on because this really is my very first MAC-time.

First up is this matte lipstick out of this collection.

I got the shade 'calm heat'.

This matte lipstick is a beige lipstick with a sot touch of pink in it.

I really like this color because I am a 'nude type' and bold colors are only there for special occasions.

This is just one strike of the MAC lipstick.

I really like how creamy this lipstick feels although this is a matte shade.

The color is just gorgeous for me.

I like it a lot!

Next up is the 'Love in the glades' eyeshadow palette.

This is a palette with 6 shades in the soft grey-greens of an islands forest.

This palette contains frost, satin and one matte shade.

They are also really pigmented and easy to blend, important when you create an eyelook with multiple shades in it.

Smashbox Makeup Look

A blogpost on Tuesday?

Yes, because today I launched a new video on my YouTube Channel 'Be Ilona'

(it is a dutch Channel, if you want to check it out please click here).

I am showing you a primer oil, a highlighting palette and an eyeshadow palette.

First up is a primer oil, a primer is used to prime your face.

That means it evens out the imperfecties and it makes your foundation last longer.

This one I really like a lot, it nourishes my face and I can even use it on dry areas on my skin.

I also dare to use it on the dry ends of my hair.

Next thing up is a highlighter palette.

This palette is a collaboration between Smashbox and Casey Holmes.

Casey Holmes is a famous Beauty, Fashion and Lifestyle blogger.

I really like highlighters and I love this palette.

It contains 3 kinds of shades, a really light one, a more champagne shade and a rosy brownish shade.

These shades are really pigmented and easy to use.

You can see them on my face when you take a look on my YouTube channel.

Look at these swatches, how gorgeous are these!

I really love this palette, nothing more I can say about it.

Next up is an eyeshadow palette.

I got yself the cover shot metallic eye palette.

I like how the packaging changes when you hold ot differently.

It reminds me of the Spacix card I had as a little kid.

I got myself a palette with neutral warm toned shades in it.
This palette is so easy to use to create different kinds of looks with.

Smashbox eyeshadows are also very pigmented.

They have a ore creamy like finish so they don't have so much fallout as other eyeshadow palettes.

What do you think about Smashbox makeup?

Do you like the pigmentation of the swatches?
