It's a Hair Situation! ❤

Recognize this dilemma? When I have straight hair, I want them curly..But when they're curly I can't wait to straighten them back! Typical girl thing!
I am never really satisfied with my hair, haha it's so sad!
I have been thinking lately about changing my hair, because when it comes to hair I get bored with it easily! I was thinking about coloring it maybe..maroon, black? I have no idea! I never colored my hair before so I'm kinda excited!
But I think I'll wait with the color change first.. my hair is so unhealthy and dry right now.. like I have split ends and I'm just not liking my hair as much lately!
I did recently buy this Andrélon cream which is supposed to repair the split ends, so we'll see how it works!

When I see girls with beaaautiful hair, like there is always a little part of me that gets jealous haha! Like for instance the girls on these pictures!
*SIGH* Some girls just have perfect hair! haha
What type of hair do you have? Or do you recommend any brands of hair products?

Tutorial: Rainbow Water Marble Nails ❤

I love seeing all the nail arts tutorials on other blogs and youtube channels!
It makes me wish I was that creative with nail polish.. *sigh*
I am someone that can't stop buying nail polish, but when it comes to doing my nails I'm the worst and clumsiest person ever! I always get the polish all over my fingers instead of the nail where it is suppose to go in the first place haha! So for me to have my nails done, takes a lot of time.

So I think some of you might have heard already about Marble Nails. I simply love this nail art! You can create soooo many patterns and designs with your own nail polishes to give yourself a unique manicure! I found this tutorial on youtube, which doesn't need any further explanations really:

This is so cool! And you can just create a look like this or any other art with different color nail polishes of your choice! In the video she doesn't really explain what it is you exactly need, but she did add some others links that perfectly explain all of that. If you go on her youtube channel 'Simple Little Pleasures' she has so many other Marble Nails look tutorials. And on her personal blog you can see the looks in picture form.

I sure am going to try this once, maybe not with all the neon colors she used..but I sure want to see how mines will look like! Some people say that if you try this with fake nails rather than your own nails, it's much easier. Others argue about the temperature of water that works best. Honestly, I don't know.. I just think for everybody it works differently, you just have to try and find out for yourself!

What did you think of this look? Have you ever tried water marbling (is that the word? xD) your nails already? Show me pictures of how it turned out :)

To Look Stylish You Gotta D.I.Y ❤

What's more fun than making your own clothes? Not that I do it on regular basis, but I would love to start doing it more often! It lets you express your creativity, and makes you stand out with your unique designs.
I found this DIY photo tutorial on my tumblr dashboard but was originally posted by D.I.Y projects. I thought it was really fun to try it out sometime..Especially now that "warm" weather is coming up!
Enjoy!
A very easy and simple look, but still very cute!

Are you into D.I.Y fashion or do you know any other D.I.Y looks? Share with us :)

Oh Cinderella ❤

I follow many bloggers, webshop owners and just anybody I think is interesting in the fashion world on twitter. If you want to follow me: @PrncszTffny
I am also following Mirjam de Wit from La Moon Jewelry. This young woman is 19 years old, and has her own little webshop where you can buy her handmade jewelry made with Swarovski Crystals!
Beautiful jewelry, but very much affordable! So, perfect!

I recently bought one of her necklaces from the Fairytale collection called 'Cinderella'. From the naked eye the crystal looks like it's yellow.. but on pictures it turns blue..very beautiful! Take a look..


This is a cute little note I got with the package. I love when they leave a thank you note. It shows that they appreciate you. :)







With my Cinderella purchase, I got two free tickets to this fashion event: Into Fashion, that was held yesterday in Panama, Amsterdam..I was so bummed I couldn't make it, after I promised Mirjam I would come say hi. So hopefully, I'll get another opportunity to go to another fashion event and meet her.

I'm sure this won't be the last time I buy a piece from La Moon Jewelry!
She is going to be bigger than she already is..
So you should definitely check her out.
For more information on Mirjam or La Moon Jewelry please visit LaMoon.nl and follow her on twitter @LaMoonJewelry!

Sephora Madness ❤

I am in such a good mood at the moment!! I got home like an half hour ago after hanging out with some friends from school <3
The whole day I was excited, because of the thought of going to Sephora right after school. I found out just today that everyone with this type of VIP card (for V&D) could purchase Sephora products (3 for 10 euro special) today instead of waiting till tomorrow!
We were like 5 girl friends with just one VIP card (afterwards they didn't even ask for it!!), so we decided to just grab everything we wanted and just put them all in one basket later. We had so much stuff, we had to use another basket haha! But it was so much fun!! The store was packed! People were just like ants, all walking crazy around eachother, going from one table to the other. The only problem (just a small little problem) was that at one point there were no 'test products' in sight, so I just had to pick some close options to my skin color. So hopefully I picked out the right ones, I'm pretty sure I did. In all I got like 9 products.. In my basket it seemed so much, but I am sad I didn't take more lol.. That's why I'm going back tomorrow hahah!!
When we were all done shopping we had to Sephora shopping bags filled with products and one long loooong receipt!! We thought it was hilarious so we were just checking out all the items we got! In total we spend like €150!! NO JOKE! But that wasn't even the funny part.. There was also a price without the whole discount thing.. You would never guess how much the makeup really was.. almost €500!!!!! Hahaha #daaaaamn.
But anyways, let me just show you what I got haha :D























4 Sephora eyeshadows
(top left -right; bottom left; right):
❤ favorite song Nº22
❤ swimming pool Nº37
❤ fame (yaaaaay Chris Brown: GO GET HIS NEW ALBUM, lol) and fortune Nº43
❤ mysterious forest Nº46








1 Blush me! blush:
❤ corail frisson nº5












1 Sun disk bronzing powder
❤ clair light 01
(I guess a lot of people touched it before I did, lol.. oh well)












1 Sephora Perfecting cover foundation
❤ clair light 01

1 Sephora hydrating & smoothing foundation
❤ D 35

1 Sephora Smooting primer








There were some other things I wanted to get, but if I don't have the chance to go tomorrow I wouldn't feel that bad..I am really satisfied with what I got today!

What do you think of my Sephora purchased items?
What did you get? Or what are you getting?
Let me know or send me links (pictures) <3

tip from one shopper to another: if you're planning on going tomorrow or any day ever that, GO EARLY! :)
