NEW | LUXURY FOR PRINCESS 280 GRAM 24" HAIR EXTENSIONS

ENG: I´ve said it before; just when you think it can't get any better, Luxury for Princess comes with a new, longer and thicker set! 280 grams and 24" of luxurious remy hair exensions to  be precise. I've had many different sets in different colors, so I thought it would be nice to show you guys the difference between these sets and also the HUGE difference it is with my natural hair.

Luxury For Princess offers so many different sets, varying from a set for just volume to the set i am wearing in the photo below; major thickness and length. This brand new set of 280 grams is called the Princess Superior set and it's the newest thing out there on the market. Almost 300 grams of hair may seem like a lot, but this consists of 8 pieces that spread the weight out over your entire head. I've been wearing my hair extensions for 2 days now, I braided them and went to sleep with them! It's so comfortable wearing these extensions and they are so easy to maintain.

One question I always get is: how long do they last? I would say if you take good care of them, they can last up to a year. I still have my very first set, but that's dyed dark brown so I will keep it for if I ever go back to that color. I've also got 2 sets that I have dyed to a bright red dipdye and one with a blonde ombre. Dyeing them is not going to help last them for long, but still: these sets are in great shape. Just to answer that question:)

Let me show you the difference between a few sets in the photo below. The 160 grams set is €99,95, the 220 set is €149,95 and the brand new 280grams set is €229,95 ♥ Of course all sets are a little less with my discount code MALU5 

NL: Ik heb het al wel eens gezegd... Net als je denkt dat het niet beter kan, komt  Luxury for Princess weer met een nieuwe set hair extensions! De 280 gram set van wel 24" aan menselijk remy hair! Ik heb verschillende sets gehad dus het leek me leuk om het verschil hiertussen te laten zien. Met name het verschil tussen mijn eigen haar en haar mét extensions is enorm! 

Luxury for Princess heeft sets voor slechts volume in je haar, maar ook sets voor mega veel lengte en dik haar, zoals de nieuwe set die ik in bovenstaande foto draag. De set heet  Princess Superior. Bijna 300 gram aan extra haar op je hoofd lijkt veel, maar dat gewicht is verdeeld over 8 stroken haar over je hele hoofd. Je merkt er dus niets van! Ik ga er zelfs mee slapen. Ik maak dan 2 vlechten in mijn haar en zo zit mijn haar de volgende dag meteen goed met een beetje slag erin;)

Een vraag die ik altijd krijg is: hoe lang gaan ze mee? Dat ligt er aan hoe je met het haar omgaat. Ik heb meerdere sets, de sets die ik niet geverfd heb zijn nu nog steeds prachtig en kunnen zeker wel een jaar mee. Ik heb ook een set een knalrode dipdye gegeven en eentje juist blonder gemaakt. Ondanks dat ze geverfd zijn is de kwaliteit nog steeds super, alleen merk je dat ze iets sneller uitdrogen door het verven. Bij deze de vraag beantwoord:)

Het verschil tussen een aantal sets kun je hieronder zien. De 160gram set kost €99,95, de 220 gram set €149,95 en de nieuwe 280 gram set €229,95. Natuurlijk kosten alle sets wat minder als je mijn kortingscode MALU5 gebruikt♥

ENG: I have been quite obsessed with long knitted cardigans lately. Obsessed as in, I bought 4 new long and warm cardigans this month. The one I am wearing in these photos is my latest purchase from New Look! I have found that these are perfect for this time of the year, since it is not very cold yet here in Holland. It usually is November, but the weather's been nice to us so a warm long cardigan instead of a winter coat will do for now:)

I wore the cardigan over my favorite high waisted mom jeans from Pull&Bear, my Boy London t-shirt, Isabel Marant sneakers and Michael Kors bag. I went for a casual look since it was just an afternoon stroll with my dog and my sis, I do tend to take my camera everywhere I go with my sis, since we don't often have time for outfit photos... So we'll take the opportunity if we happen to spot a nice place to shoot!

LUXURY FOR PRINCESS | OFFICIAL PHOTOS

NL: Een tijdje geleden deelde ik de behind the scenes fotos van een fotoshoot voor  Luxury Fk had or Princess hair extensions. Ik had een shoot in oktober en eentje vorige week, De officiele foto's van de eerste shoot zijn binnen! Ik vind ze mooi geworden, dus ik deel vandaag een aantal van de foto's met jullie. Ik vind vooral de before/after foto goed gelukt. Niet omdat mijn eigen naar nou zo mooi is, maar omdat het verschil met de extensions in zo goed te zien is! De set die ik hier droeg is de 260gr set in Chesnut Brown. (kortingscode malu5) Wat vinden jullie van de foto's?

OUTFIT | TIMBERLAND STORE OPENING PARTY

ENG: My sis Amber and I went to the Timberland store opening party yesterday. I have to sort out the photos yet, but I did post a collage of the event on Instagram already. My sister and I stopped on the Dam in Amsterdam to take these outfit photos... It was getting darker outside and the light was perfect with the Christmas decoration behind me! 

Since it was an event for Timberland, we figured dressing up in cute dresses and high heels would not have been appropriate, so instead we both went for a casual look:) I wore my New Look cardigan from the previous post again, since it is the perfect replacement for a light jacket. I wore my new checkered scarf from Primark that was so big, I wrapped it around me when it got colder during the evening. I'm off now to get my fake tan on, I've got a photoshoot tomorrow! Exciiiiiiting....

REVIEW: ETOS SKIN SMOOTHING PRIMER

Etos Skin Smoothing Primer is a transparant primer that promises to make the skin look and feel smoother, it conceals blemishes and it can be used after your day cream, just to make your skin look smooth and radiant. But us girls will probably use it as it is meant to be used: as a base for your make up.

The product is packed in a pump bottle, which I think is better because that is the most hygienic way to keep bacteria out. Besides, one pump gives you the exact amount you need for your entire face.
I like to use this after my day cream, it only needs seconds to dry and so does my day cream ;) Then I apply my make up like I always do. Usually, I need to fix my make up within a few hours because I get a shiny forehead or nose, and sometimes it gets smudgy. Since I've been using the primer the foundation lasts ALL day and I hardly have to do anything anymore to keep my make up pretty.

Doing my make up is even more fun! I wanna go for dramatic smokey eyes, bold lips and perfect blusher every day now, not just for a party. I know my make up will last all day when I use the primer, it really does make a great difference.

Tip: if you're using a lipliner like me, also apply some primer on your lips. The lipliner will stay on perfectly!

PS. I've been thinking about writing in both English and Dutch. English as the main language, a short summary in Dutch below. Please let me know what you think about this in the poll below. :)

How is everybody doing? Dutchies, did you celebrate Kingsday? I did, it was so much fun! Too much fun maybe, so it's a good thing we took these outfit photos before we went out... I've got the afterlife-of-the-party-look today, haha. Keep on reading to see more of this look!

I wore my new Sacha shoes: cute leather espadrilles! If there's one trendy shoe right now that I love, it's got to be the espadrille. This one is black, but with different kinds of leather so it's still a nice contrast. I've been wearing them a lot lately, because they basically go with anything and they're very comfortable. What do you think of my new shoes?

Wearing: Sacha shoes | H&M coat + jeans |  Primark Tee | Topshop bag | Luxury for princess 280grams hair extensions "Honey Clouds" (discount code MALU5)

ENG: Hi! I hope you're all well! I'm back with a new outfit to share with you guys... As you probably know I absolutely have a thing for clothes with fun quotes on them, like beanies and sweaters. I came across this hilarious BATOKO sweater and I just loved it! BATOKO is a fun British label, but they ship worldwide so that is great. Another thing that's great is that I literally got my sweater within just one day! Talk about fast shipping:)

It's still pretty warm here in Holland, so I didn't have to hide my fun sweater under a big coat. I combined it with a leather vest, ripped jeans and my slip ons. What do you think of this look? 

HAIR | LUXURY FOR PRINCESS CLIP IN PONYTAILS

ENG: Just when you think it can't get any better, it does! Luxury For Princess keeps the amazing products coming. They've not only got clip in hair extensions in 5 different sets and in 12 different colors.. They've also got clip in bangs.. And now they've also got clip in ponytails! Luxury For Princess really offers the widest range when it comes to clip in hair products.

I've got a straight ponytail and  curly one, but both are 100% human remy hair, so you can style them how you like it. They're both 22 inches long, super full and easy to attach. This literally took me a few seconds. There's a clip on the ponytail that you clip on top of your own ponytail. Then you wrap the velcro strap around to secure the clip in ponytail and you then have to wrap the loose string of hair around to conceal the velcro strap. I simply pinned the end of that string of hair in place with a bobbypin, and that's all it takes! They're not heavy at all and they conceal my own hair perfectly. I have also filmed a video on how to clip them in, but I haven't had time to edit it and upload it to YouTube yet. Stay tuned for the video, and let me know what you think of yet another amazing invention of Luxury For Princess♥

PS. If you order at Luxury For Princess, use my discount code MALU5 :)

NL: Net als je denkt dat het niet beter kán, komt  Luxury For Princess weer met een geweldige uitvinding. Ze hebben namelijk al 5 soorten clip in extensions in 12 kleuren, toen kwam de fabulous clip in pony, en nu heeft Luxury For Princess ook clip in staarten! Luxury For Princess biedt naar mijn mening écht het ruimste aanbod in álles voor clip in hair.

Ik heb een stijle en gekrulde variant van de clip in staart. Ze zijn beiden 100% menselijk Remy haar dus ik kan ze alsnog krullen/stijlen hoe ik dat wil. Ze zijn 22 inch (55 cm) lang en super vol! Ik maakte wel eens een hoge staart met mijn gewone clip in extensions; op een gegeven moment werd dat zwaar. Deze staart voel ik echter totaál niet zitten. Ik heb ze binnen 1 minuut aan mijn eigen staart vast gemaakt door het schuifje aan de bovenkant over mijn eigen staart heen te schuiven. Dan draai je met het klittenband stukje om je staart heen zodat het vast zit. Dan zie je natuurlijk nog wel dat er wat zit; dat lost je op door de pluk haar daar omheen te draaien en vast te zetten met een schuifje. Ik heb dit allemaal gefilmd, maar het kost te veel tijd om het nu nog te editen en te uploaden, maar de video komt snel online! Ik ben benieuwd wat jullie van deze clip in staarten vinden♥

PS. Mocht je wat bestellen, gebruik dan mijn kortingscode MALU5 :)

ENG: Last friday my sister Amber and I went to the exclusive pre-opening of the first Shoeby flagship store in The Hague. I have been to loads of fashion events and my sis and I both agreed that this was the best event we've ever been to! Everything was taken care of in the slightest detail; there were amazing hostesses, great music, yummy drinks and bites, girls walking around with polaroid cameras and a very fun and fashionable vibe! Dutch stylist Fred van Leer was there to welcome all the guests and of course my sister and I took a picture with him;)Years ago I honestly thought of Shoeby as a bit dull, it was not a store I would actually go. The invite sounded very interesting though, that is why I was curious enough to attend the event. I was so pleasantly surprised! Shoeby has got an amazing brand new image and concept! The clothes are hotter than hot, I spotted every single one of the latest trends on the clothes racks and the best thing: the prices made me super happy! Shoeby fits right in with H&M, Zara and other hot & happening clothing stores♥

Today I have something very cool to show you lovelies: a soak off gel nail set from Madam Glam! I was very excited to try this product because I haven’t tried gel nails before, let alone do it myself! Madam Glam Soak-Off gel polish is a 3 step gel polish, so you will need the base, color and top gels. I got the cutest baby pink color ever called Angel Wings♥ According to Madam Glam you can use any UV or LED lamp to cure; cure times are 2 minutes for UV and 30 seconds for LED. I got an UV lamp with my set so my cure time was 30 seconds. The lamp switches off after 30 seconds so you'll cure the gel for the right amount of time!

Application: Application of these polishes is an absolute dream! The base gel is very easy to work with, it goes on thin and smooth. Since I have false nails and I apply them myself, sometimes the transition of my false nail onto my natural nail is visible when wearing normal nailpolish. When I applied the bsae coat the surface of my nails was soooo smooth! The gel color itself is a little thicker but also applies smooth and easily. Go for a thin coat, as on the first nail I didn't and it did not fully dry.  The top coat is like a thicker version of the base gel, it goes on very smooth and glossy and it is the shiny finishing touch to your gel nails. Unlike some random gel nailpolishes, this topcoar dries to a hard and shiny finish! I noticed that it really keeps my false nails in place!

Removal: The gel polish should be able to stay on for up to 4 weeks, but as I wanted to do a full review, I removed the gel after a week to try and see how that goes. I roughed up the surface of my nails to break the seal and then used acetone for removal.  After 10 minutes of soaking it was easy to push the gel polish off! I forgot to take pictures of the removal process, but it was super easy:)

  

Madam Glam offers a complete beginners set that included 1 Magical Pocket led lamp, 1 Gel Top Coat, 1 Gel Base Coat and 1 color that YOU choose from $104 for $62,90! Considering you can do tons of manicures with the beginners set in the comfort of your own home, it's a deal that's very hard to resis! Also, at orders over 40 dollars Madam Glam ships worlwide for free:) Let me know what you think and if you're gonna try it!

OUTFIT | CHATHAM BOAT SHOES

*sponsored*

ENG: whereas lots of bloggers have been seen with comfy shoes like slip-ons and loafers, I'm going for a slightly different version: boat shoes! I absolutely love boat shoes and I think they're still a bit underestimated. Who says boat shoes are only for on deck? They're super cute, comfortable and chatham.co.uk has got them in lots of different colors and models, for men, women and children. Chatham is known for their very British style (which I really love!) their durable materials, craftmanship and attention to details.

Boat shoes can be worn with many different styles. I would wear my Jessa navy shoes casually like I did in these photos. I wore them with a plain navy top, skinny jeans and a striped blazer. But picture these cuties with a white crop top, high waisted jeans and a navy leather jacket? I think it would look fabulous! The shoes I've got are slip-ons with tassels and they are made out of genuine leather, which makes them very comfortable!

NL: de laatste tijd zie je veel bloggers met comfortabele slip-ons a lá Cèline en loafers, maar ik ga voor een iets andere variant daarop... boat shoes! Ik vind ze echt super schattig en ik denk dat ze nog een beetje onderschat worden. Bootschoenen zijn absoluut niet meer alleen voor op de boot! Dat laten ze zien bij  chatham.co.uk. Zij bieden bootschoenen in allerlei kleuren en modellen voor zowel mannen, vrouwen als kinderen. Chatham is erg Engels in hun stijl, wat ik persoonlijk helemaal geweldig vind! Ze staan bekend om hun vakmanschap, kwalitatief super materialen en aandacht voor prachtige details. 

Ik zou mijn Jessa navy bootschoenen lekker casual dragen zoals in de onderstaande fotos. Hier droeg ik ze met een simpel blauw shirtje, skinny jeans en een gestreept jasje. Maar hoe gaaf zouden deze schatjes niet zijn met een witte croptop, highwaisted skinnies en een donkerblauw leren jasje?? Lijkt mij super gaaf! De schoenen die ik heb zijn helemaal navy blauw met schattige kwastjes. Zowel de binnen als buitenkant is helemaal leer en daardoor lopen ze als slofjes!

NEW | BERSCHKA FAUX FUR PARKA

ENG: I have got a lot of winter coats, but there was one must have coat missing: a warm parka! I love parka's but I never found one that was perfect. I spotted this parka at the Berschka store a while ago but I only ordered it online a few days ago...

It's the perfect shade of army green and the faux fur layer inside makes it so comfortable and warm! You can actually take the faux fur part out so this parka is also perfect for when temperatures go up again (hopefully soon, brrr!) By the way, I hope I'll be back to blogging on a regular basis very soon, I've been very busy with the Christmas shopping, my Youtube channel and doing interviews for a new internship.. Let me know what you think of my new parka dolls!

I WAS STYLED BY SOPHIE

ENG: I have discovered an amazing webshop that I would love to share with my fellow readers. I Was Styled By Sophie is a online and offline streetstyle fashion and lifestyle store. Street, edgy and different.. That's how I would like to describe this webshop. IWSBS is based in Rotterdam but they ship world wide! Isn't that good news? The items I got from this webshop are pretty awesome, but there's so much more that I am sure you're gonna love, so go over to the webshop and get styled by sophie! And  how do you like my crop top, shopper, sunnies and bracelet?

NL: Ik heb echt een ontzettend leuke webshop ontdekt die ik graag met jullie deel.  I Was Styled By Sophie is een online en offline streetstyle en lifestyle store. Steet, Edgy en lekker eigenwijs, zo zou ik deze webshop omschrijven. De items die ik van IWSBS heb gekregen passen precies bij mijn stijl. Ik vind ze super, maar er is nog zó veel meer moois in de webshop te vinden... Ik weet zeker dat jullie het net zo gaaf vinden als ik! Neem snel een kijkje, en get styled by sophie! En wat vinden jullie van mijn crop top, shopper, sunnies en armbandje?

Lately, I have been asked several times what my skincare routine is. To be honest, it is always changing. The routine I had a few years ago absolutely won’t correspond to my skin anymore and won’t feed it’s needs like it did at the time. This article is not about make up, as the title may suggest, it is about skincare that makes my skin so good that I don't need more than just an Au Naturelle look.

I have always loved make up, especially going all crazy with it with false lashes and what not. But I feel like the better my skin looks, the less make up I need. I do not have creams and serums for every little part of my face or body, today I am just going to share a few of my favorite products that I'd like to highlight.

For me, it all starts with a good daycream. I have tried many brands, but the L'oréal Skin Perfection daycream is what works wonders for my skin at the moment. It makes my skin feel so fresh and hydrated, and it smells nice but not too strong...

As for the make up, I don't usually wear that much anymore but I do wear foundation and I like to highlight and contour. (Did not do that in these photos) so to set everything and make sure it stays in place perfectly,  I spray the Clarins Fix Make up setting spray over my makeup wich also boosts your skin and keeps it matte. This stuff is amazing!

I have learnt that going to sleep with make up on, even after a long night of partying, is the absolute worst you can do! To take of my make up quickly I use the Qiriness Velvety Eye make up remover. It literally feels velvety on your skin and it takes off waterproof make up in an instant! It is the only make up remover that is gentle enough to my skin to not leave it with a burning feeling. Again, this stuff is amazing!

So basically, these 3 products are my top 3 lifesavers when it comes to having perfectly healthy skin and rocking an au naturelle look :) Do you know any of these products? Let me know what you think! 

MAKE UP | PERRIE EDWARDS "WORD UP" TUTORIAL

ENG: Yesterday was a big day for my YouTube channel! Not only did I hit 34,000 subs, I also hit 10 MILLION total views! It's growing so fast, also the fashion and beauty videos on my channel, it's amazing! My channel grows with over 1000 new subscribers every month so I like where I'm going with it! Anyways, since a lot of my subscribers are One Direction fans and therefore also Little Mix fans (you see, 1D hottie Zayn Malik is engaged to Little Mix cutie Perrie Edwards) and yeah, I have a pretty big girl crush on Little Mix as well. It never surprises me when my subscribers ask me to do a Little Mix inspired make up tutorial, so this time Perrie's look in the music video Word Up was on many people's wishlists. While I only uploaded the tutorial yesterday, people have now asked me to do Jade Thirlwalls (yup, also Little Mix member) brown/blue smokey eye look. Gotta love these fandoms;) Enjoy the video dolls!
