Pre-ordered a Canon EOS 70D

Hey everyone,

I would just like to inform you guys that I pre-ordered the new Canon 70D a few days ago. It won't be out yet for another couple of days or weeks till I have it. Why is there so much confusion on the internet on the exact release date?

I would post a picture of the camera, but I can't find any stock images of it.

So here are some links to the Dutch and American canon sites:
Canon.nl
www.usa.canon.com

I am so excited!

Do you have a DSLR? Which one?

How to clean your makeup brushes

Hey everyone,

Today I will show you how to clean your makeup brushes. It is very important to clean them regularly, otherwise they will get dirty and not cleaning it will ultimately decrease the lifespan of the brushes.
To clean them I use two different products: brush soap and baby shampoo. I use the brush soap after each use and the baby shampoo once a week to thoroughly clean them. Step-by-step instructions after the jump.

My first heels

Hey everyone,

I was nozing around in my closet and I thought: Why not show you guys my first heels I ever bought?
I saw these in Houston a long time ago and I fell in love with them. Aren't they cute?

White and pink peeptoes

When I first wore them I felt like I was going to fall forwards. I thought that they were so high. Now, of course, I have higher ones where I don't think that I am going to fall and land on my face. :D

Anyways as you can see they are of white and pink, medium height, have a small plateau, and have an adorable buckle detail. I like to pair them with this one pink dress that I have or if I want to stand out I would pair it with a cute top and jeans.

I know they are a little dirty, but its proof that I wore them a lot. ;) But I do have to say, for shoes that are a couple of years old, they look great.

What did your first pair of heels look like?

My make-up brushes

Hey everyone,
About a year ago I bought my first make-up brushes and, since I was pretty clueless on what to buy, I decided to get a set so that I would have a good base to figure out what I really need before I go for the full size ones later. Buying it as a set also meant that I didn't need to spend that much money since the price per brush is less. I ended up getting the Les Minis de Chanel.

Chanel Précision Soleil Identité

Hey everyone,

Since it is summertime I thought that I would try a self tanner for the first time. I originally wanted one for the face and body, but I ended up with one just for the face. Since Chanel is the only brand till now that has not given me any breakouts I naturally went for the Chanel self tanner for the face, the Chanel Soleil Identité from the Précision line.


Before I applied it I exfoliated my face and put on moisturizer. When using it I realized that it was colorless on my skin, which I didn't like because then I couldn't see where I have or havent applied it. I love the smell: Cookie Dough!!!! Eitherways, the product absorbed really quickly and I went to sleep. 
When I looked into the mirror the next morning I was shocked because my face looked way darker than the rest of my body. Thankfully, after I took a shower and cleansed my face, it looked great. The final result was a streak free, even, more tan face which wasn't unnatural looking at all. I really love it and since then I have been using it every three days to keep the color from fading. You could also use it daily until the desired color is met.


Since you won't use it daily (unless you want to achieve a darker tan) the tube would last for at least the whole summer. So it is money well spent and I will definately repurchase once it runs out!
