Hey guys! My lovely friend from Luxembourg placed me on her awesome beauty blog! What an honor to be on there 🙂 ! Here’s the post. Please check out her blog to read more about my products or about her own products!
Sure, I enjoy going for walks, reading a good book, cooking, spending time with my better half and traveling, but nothing excites me as much as going through my friends makeup bags to see what products they absolutely cannot live without. I envy people who can fit all their makeup in one little beauty bag, which is why I find it so intriguing to go through them while interviewing the poor victim- who simply wanted to come over for coffee and cake- about why they chose exactly that mascara and that concealer. I know that I’m not alone here, everyone’s a little nosey at heart, which is why I want to bring you guys with me to see what the women in my life are putting on their faces! Sounds like a good idea?
This Luxembourg-born, Dutch freckled beauty is a real stunner! She’s very tall ( when taking her photo I had to ask her to sit down or stand on my tiptoes, and I’m not that short myself) and always looks like she’s fallen out of the latest issue of Vogue, but in a very effortless and elegant way. It will come to nobody’s surprise that Valerie models when she’s not working as an assistant at a communication and PR agency in Amsterdam- where she’s responsible for keeping the company’s social media channels updated. This means that she gets to attend lots of fun events, openings and fashion shows around the city – yes, she’s definitely my ‘cool’ friend …
When I ask her why she has chosen the YSL ‘Anti Cernes’ as her concealer she laughs and says: “I use because it because I find it looks very natural on my fair skin, and hides the bags under my eyes whenever I haven’t had a very good nights sleep. It makes me feel fresh and awake, which is why I love it”. I’ve only recently started using something on my brows to give them a bit more color , and the product I’m using is from MAC, and its the Brow Set in the shade Beguile– it sets the hairs and gives them a hint of color without being “too much”. My favourite winter/fall lipstick this year is also from MAC, from the Mineralise Rich lipstick range, in the shade ‘Lush Life. I love the dark berry color and the lasting power is incredible! If I apply it in the morning before going to work it will last for a good couple of hours before any retouch is needed. The blush from Dior,in ‘Rose Vintage’ I’ve repurchased after falling in love with it, and nothing else seems to look as natural on me as this. Since my skin is very light, I feel that I need a bit more of a pinker blush to make my skin look young and fresh, so this one fits me perfectly. Whenever I travel I bring my Chanel Mademoiselle 35ml perfume with me as its under 100ml and doesn’t take up much space, but my real perfume-love is Chanel Chance, I don’t think I’ll ever stop using it! The mascara I’m trying right now is the ‘Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara’ from Estee Lauder, my mother gave me it after one of her face cream shopping sprees, where she was given lots of samples, and to be honest- I love it so much that I’m going to buy the full size. It lengthens and separates my lashes in a very natural way, just the way I want a mascara to do!
Thank you Valerie for making an appearance here ! If you would like to read more about her exciting trips, city-guides and hot spots,- you should visit her blog, its a good one!
