Hi everyone.

Hair - The keratin treatment.

Hi everybody,
So i recently did a DIY - Keratin treatment which i'm going to do a review about another time. Anyway this article is about the keratin treatment and what it is.. Enjoy!

• What Is Keratin? It's a protein that's naturally in your hair.
• How It Works: A stylist applies a keratin hair-straightening product to your hair and then uses the heat of a flat iron to seal it in. The process takes about 90 minutes or longer, depending on your hair's length. Salon keratin products include Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy by Coppola, Brazilian Keratin Treatment, the Brazilian Blowout, and Brazilian Hair Straightening. 
• Time-Saving Tresses: If you usually style your hair straight, a keratin hair-straightening treatment could shorten your blow-dry time by 40% to 60%, says hair stylist Henri Borday of New York's Mizu salon and corporate educator for Global Keratin.
• Farewell, Frizz: You can forget about frizzy hair after treatment. "You could walk out in moist or light rain and your hair won’t change," Borday says.
• Wait Before You Wash: You shouldn't wash your hair for three or four days after getting the treatment. That's because the solution takes time to work, he says.
• Upkeep: After you get a keratin hair treatment, and after the don't-wash waiting period, you should use sodium-sulfate-free shampoo to help maintain the treatment.
• How Long It Lasts: Expect the results to last for 1/2 months
• WATCH OUT FOR: FORMALDEHYDE:  In some keratin treatments there is formaldehyde in it. This can cause cancer unless it's a little bit. Something like 0.2 %. Most keratin treatments with formaldehyde use formaldehyde of 7% and even more! Really watch out and do your research!

Also a lot of people say the keratin treatment gives you smoother, straighter hair but NOT pin straight hair. This is NOT a relaxer.

Does it really work? It might. I tried out the Organix Ever Straight 30 day smoothing treatment which i'm going to do a review about soon. It really depends on your hair and on the keratin brand. Most keratin treatments in the salon are like 200 euro and sometimes even more. The DIY - Organix ever straight 30 day smoothing treatment was less than 30 euro. This is a really good prize, but the downside is that you have to do it by yourself. So.. Is the keratin treatment worth all the money and patience? I'm not sure. It really does depends on you.

Obviously, this picture is made when they straightened their hair.

UPDATE - Why i haven't been writing a lot of articles..

Hi everyone,
So i have to inform you guys about something. I know that i haven't been on this website for a really long time now, but school is getting a lot of my attention at the moment so that's the reason why i haven't been writing a lot of articles. I apologize for that, but i probably won't write a lot of articles anymore. Of course i will write some but not everyday like when i started with this blog. I just want you guys to read good articles and not bad articles that i made in a hurry with a lot of misspellings etc.
I really hope you guys understand this and please remember that i won't stop with this site or something! It's just kinda like a little break. :-)

UPDATE - I'm back!

Hi everyone,
So i was in London this week and it was so much fun! I bought a lot of nice things!! I went to H&M, ZARA and.. Primark! I love Primark and i bought a lot of cool things! Prepare for a lot of fashion articles :-). Anyway i'm really sorry for not posting any articles this week!! But it was really hard finding WIFI and time to put up a good article so i apologize for that. By the way i wonder if you guys can look at the poll on the right and vote because i really want to know what you guys want to read. I was also thinking about making videos on Youtube. It just seems better to me and it's a great way to get to know you guys. Just tell me what you think :-). Anyway that's basically it! Prepare for a lot of articles and maybe even videos! Remember: articles every SATURDAY and sometimes extra articles :-).

Have a nice day!

UPDATE - I will be away for a week.

Hi everyone,
I'm going to London tomorrow so i can't really post a lot of articles. I'm really sorry for that! When i'm back i will post loads of articles :). Think about reviews, inner beauty posts, quotes.. By the way, maybe i will go to the Primark. I can totally show you guys what i bought if you guys want me to. Anyway, have a nice day and i will see you guys soon!

Inner beauty - Stay strong beautiful

Hi everyone,
So i really wanted to write an article for all the people who are going through or went through rough things. I want to give you guys some inspiration to carry on and stay strong. This article is for the girls who say that they're fine, but are actually dying inside.. The girls who smile but secretly cry themselves to sleep.. The girls who listen to sad music all day by themselves.. The girls who need a friend who could just listen to them en be there for them, but don't have one.. All the girls who are trying so hard to be strong.. All you girls out there remember that there is somebody who cares. There is somebody who loves you. There is somebody who would anything for you. Maybe there aren't 50 people, but at least there is one person. Remember it's better to have 1 person who loves you and would do anything for you than to have 100 people who just don't care. There is somebody out there and things will get easier. I promise that there is at least 1 person that cares... You are so incredibly strong & beautiful. You deserve so much more than what you are giving yourself. Don't hold it in. Just let is all out and i guarantee that you will feel better. Crying isn't wrong or stupid. Remember tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising. Just stay strong beautiful. Things will get better! It might be stormy now, but it can't rain forever.

Budget beauty products

Hi everyone,
So i know that a lot of beauty products are quite expensive.. So, i wanted to write an article about cheap and good beauty products :-). I really hope that you guys like it :).

- Eyeshadow: I love the Essence Quattro Eyeshadow Palette 04. This palette is so good! The colors are really good for school because there are 2 light shades and 2 brown shades in the palette. You can create a nice bronzy smokey eye with it and the palette is really not expensive! The Prize: € 2,99  EURO.

- Eyeshadow base: I use the Catrice Prime and Fine. It's a good eyeshadow base, but a little expensive for an eyeshadow base.. But it's worth it. The prize: €4,99

- Mascara: The Essence I Love Extreme Volume Mascara(black with pink letters) is a really good mascara! I really like it and it's not expensive at all! The Prize: €2,79

- Foundation: I love the NYC Skin matching foundation! There are the vitamins A, C & A in it and blends very nicely. It's a light to light/medium coverage and the foundation gives you a natural complexion. I especially recommend this to the teenage girls because it's not a lot of coverage. If you want more coverage i would skip this foundation. The prize: €4,99

- Powder: I use the Maybelline Fit Me Powder. I love this powder! It gives a natural coverage and it's a matte finish. I especially recommend this powder if you have oily/shiny skin. This powder really helps! The downside is that the powder is a little expensive but trust me.. It's worth the prize.The Prize: €13,99

- BB cream: I love the Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream. It comes in several shades, it gives a good coverage & it stays on the whole day especially with some powder. I highly recommend this BB cream! The prize: €9,99

- Liquid eyeliner: I  like the HEMA Eyeliner. I think that you only can buy this in the Netherlands so if you're not from the Netherlands, i'm sorry! Anyways, it's a nice eyeliner. It's a little bit hard with filling in the line, but for the rest it's okay. 
The prize: the price varies from €2 to €3 euros

- Lipstick/lip gloss: I don't really use lipstick of lip gloss but if i do i use a lot of products from Essence or NYC. They have some really nice lip glosses and lipsticks! The prize: varies.

- Lipliner: I love the NYC lipliners! They are not expensive at all and there are a lot of shades! The prize: €1,00

- Make up remover: I really like the brand Demak'up. They have a lot of cleansing wipes and eyepads. Even for the sensitive and dry skin! The prize: The prize varies from  €2 to  €7
