Isabel Marant

Isabel Marant is loved by many celebs and the 'cool fashion crowd'. She is also one of my favourite fashion designers at the moment. I absolutely love her minimalistic and bohemian chique style.

Isabel Marant is a French fashion designer. In 1989 she started designing fashion accessoires, and 5 years later she launched her first ready to wear line. She designs two lines: Isabel Marant and Etoile.

Her collection for this fall is stunning! Inspired by the fifties and the movie Grease

All time beauty favourite

The Estee Lauder Idealist is a serum that makes your pores look smaller. I've been using this product for about a year now and I am still very satisfied about this product.
You can use it before you apply your moisturizer in the morning or in the evening before you go to bed. You will only need one little drop of it and your face will look smooth and refreshed all day.

Have you ever tried the Idealist?

Color your skintone

The colors of your clothes can make or break your look. Wearing a 'good' color can make you look slimmer, stronger and more sophisticated, but wearing a 'bad' color can make you look pale,faded or tired.

I will tell you a trick how you can determine which colors will make you look pretty and enhance you complexion.

Warm skin tone

If you have a warm skin tone, your skin will have a pink or blue undertone and visible veins will look blue.

Cool skin tone

If you have a cold skin tone your skin will have yellow undertones and your veins will appear green.

If you know which skin tone you have, you can determine which season you are. There are 4 different seasons divided into warm and cool tones.

Winter (cool tone)

A 'Winter' is a natural brunette or blonde with deeply color eyes and porcelain white, yellowish olive or dark skin.

Fall outfit

I love my new blouse from Mango! It has a beautiful camel color wich is perfect for this fall/winter.

Camel is one of the key colors this season. (the blouse looks darker on my pictures)

I am also wearing wedge ankle boots from Zara. These boots are perfect! You can go shopping all day wearing these heels, it's like you're are wearing sneakers.

Daily skincare

I am addicted to beauty. I am a huge Mac fun and I love to try out all sorts of different skin care products. At the moment I am using the Clinique line.

I use the 3 steps system and I think it very refreshing and it cleans my face very well. Make sure though that you use the right skin type. I am using the 3 step system for the dry/combined skin.
When I have used make-up.(almost everyday lol) I first wash my face with make up remover, to make sure that I removed all the make up of my face.

I am also using a day cream with SPF 25 , and a night cream. I am doing this because the different dramatic moisturizing lotion is just a moisturizer. It doesn't contain SPF which will protect your skin against sunburn.

Sometimes when I feel like I need more moisture or when I went out clubbing and feel sore the day after, I use the Moisture Surge gel. This gel is amazing, it gives your skin a moisturizing boost!
I made a picture to show you how creamy it looks. I really recommend this product if you suffer from dry/dehydrated skin, and it's great during Fall/Winter too!
