DIY : Pink dip-dye.

   Hello everybody!
   I wish you all a very merry 1st of May!
   So if you are following me on instagram (if you aren't then what are you waiting for?) , you may have noticed that I now have a pink dip dye! It is really simple but I thought it would be a good idea to share how to do it with you!
   I already have done two last year : also a pink one but a bit darker and a blue one that turned out not blue at all to be honest.
   Last year, I had some trust issues and I was going through quite a lot with my friends and family and I never thought I'd be able to have the guts to do it honestly. When I realized that the opinion that others could have about me and what they could think about me or my hairs defined me and kept me from doing what I wanted, something "clicked" in my head and I litteraly said "fuck" to everybody who made me think that I could'nt be myself. I felt way more confident and good when I did my first dip dye, it was a release. It was not about the color of my hair, it was about how my philosophy changed at this moment that made me feel better.
   Anyway, it is really easy to do it, my mom did mine but you can do it yourself. It took me about an hour from the application to the washing.

   First you will need a coloration. I used for all my dip-dies bottles from "crazy color". The first one, a dark pink, was called cyclamen that I really really love, the second one was called "sky blue" but it turned out to be a un-named weird color between blue and green, I did not like it that much and the last one that I'm actually "wearing" is the one called "pinkissimo" and I also really like it, it is a really nice bright pink, just what I expected. You will also need an old towel to protect your cloth and finally a pair of plastic gloves.



  


    First, take some product on your hand and apply it generously at the end of the wet hair if you want a dip dye but you could apply it everywhere actually. Make sure it is homogeneous, you don't want to have like stains of pink or of your natural color.








  Once you've apply product, wait for 15 to 30 minute depending on how you want it to appear : the more you wait, the more it will be bright. I have waited for 20'. 
   Then, go onto the shower and wash it off until the water is almost clear. It will be purple or blue or pink depending on the color you choose but at the end it has to be almost clear. 




   This is how it looks like wet, you can see I have not started too high and this is how I like it! 

  

   Now that you are all done, you can do your everyday hair drying routine and go rock that dip dye! ;)
   This is how it looks like dried (check out my instagram @Louzeebo or @louguillouard for more pictures of it)
   I'm pretty sure these are the first pictures of me on the blog so...hi!




I hope you guys liked it and that you will do a dip-dye too because it is the coolest thing on earth okay. Don't forget to let me know if I it helped you in anyway!
I see you all very soon for a new post,
Loads of love,

April glossy box (France)

    Hello everybody!
    Sun is finally here! And since good things never arrive at once, another thing's finally here... The April glossy box!

   

    You may not know but I'm the kind of person that get exited way too easily and when the box came I was the happiest person on the world...until I open it. I calmed down quickly, that's for sure.
    If you don't know what a glossy box is I'm going to do a quiet review even if you'll understand with the pictures I'll post below. So first you "enter the community" on their website and follow the orders. Here's the link for France but if you're not from France than just google "glossy box" and it is usually the first link... Click here to go on their website. It's 15€ per month (170 for a year) and you recieve every month a box that contains 5 to 6 products that the creators thought that they were must haves.
    Once you entered the community, select your beauty profile so your box will be more personal.
    

    I said that once I opened it I calmed down because I got super disappointed. You will understand why with the photos.


    

    The first thing I got is an anti-stress mud face mask for one application, nothing exiting...





    The second thing I'll talk to you about is probably the most exiting thing I got from that April Glossy Box : the L'Oréal "Mythic Oil" shampoo. I heard a lot about it, looking forward to try it... 





    The next thing I got is the only make up item I got (makes no sense to me but anyways) is an eyeshadow from Da Vinci Cosmetics Click here to see more of their products Never heard of this brand but the color is gorgeous! I don't know how I'm going to apply it yet, let's just hope I'll find it out soon. I got this eye shadow in shade 05 "earth".



   

    If you didn't know, I'm 14 years old, I guess you'll understand the main reason why I won't use an anti-aging creme... I'm happy it's from Boots though because I never had anything from this shop since there isn't any in France, unfortunately... Anyways, I'll just give it to my grandma.
    I like the packaging though. Second thing I like about this,I probably won't find any more so let's move on okay.




   The last product I got is a shower gel from parashop and it is the green tea and bamboo one. I didn't even smell it to be honest, I feel like it is going to be fresh and let's hope I'll like it.
    It is a 50ml bottle so I probably will be keeping it in a suitcase for travelling...




   
    The last thing that was on the April Glossy Box was a hand bag brush with a little mirror. I guess they put it in because they felt bad for sending me such random items...who knows.
     I'll keep it in my hand bag but I'm pretty sure I won't ever use the brush, I really dislike this kind of brush, I find that it hurts too much... It has the glossy box sign on it and I think it is really cute though.
    



So this is the end of my review, I hope you guys liked it and I'll see you all very soon for a new post,
Loads of love,
Lou x

Collective haul.

  Hi everybody!
  So, if you have read my last article, you may know that I was supposed to receive a Bourjois internet order that I absolutely wanted to share this with you guys but the thing is, after 3 long weeks of waiting this freaking order hasn't been shiped yet.
   Also, if you have read "I'm sorry" you may know that I have bought a few things too from differents shops and I mentioned in that post that I didn't have enough items to do an entire artcle about it. Since the week end has passed, I couldn't help myself and I bought some things! Which means that I now have enough things to share with you guys! I will do an article with my Bourjois order anyways! So yeah, let's get started!

   You may know if you're following me on twitter or instagram (if don't then what are you waiting?) that I'm a nail polish addict. That's why the first thing I'm going to show you are nail polishes.
   
    The first nail polishes I have bought are from Kiko. I must admit, all of their colors are absolutely georgeous but the quality...oh my god. My nails became so damaged and they started to double and stuff which is super annoying.
    Another thing wich is super annoying is that the nail polishes don't have names so I can't tell you exactly what/who (?) they are but I will do my best to describe the colors.

   The first one is a pale neon coraly orange. Yes, it might seem weird but I feel like it is the best way to describe it. It's kinda pastel but on your nails it looks like a neon, it is sort of flashy. I absolutely love this color and it might be one of my favorites to be honest!
   The second one is a simple lilac, there is not much to say about it because I haven't tried it yet so... I'll let you guys know about it!

 

   You can see though the nail polish how damaged they are...wow! 


   I'm wearing an infinity ring from ShopPublik here is the link shoppublik.com you should all check this super freaking amazing fluffy website okay.
  I've paid 3,90€ each.



   The next nail polishes that I'm going to show you are a set of 4 from l'Oréal and I actually didn't bought it, my amazing mom gave it to me for absolutely no reason just because she's the nicest person in the world. Anyways, that was me fangirling about having the most perfect mom ever... 
   There's a random red, a orangy pinky coral, a candy pink and a pastely pink. (From left to right) No408 ; No208 ; No210 ; No209.
   Since it was a gift I have no idea how much they were, sorry! 
  





    The last nail polish I'm going to share with you guys is a nail polish from essie which is called "bahama mama" don't ask me what it means I have no idea! The lightning was bad because it was super dark is the apartment so the picture does not give justice to this beautiful color. It is a burgundy dark purple, more dark purple than burgundy to be honest but anyways. It was 11€ which is not so cheap but I just loved the color and the quality of essie is really likeable so yeah.




    Staying in the nail theme, the next thing I bought from Kiko are these nail polish remover travel wipes. I got this because I really wanted something like that for my hand bag since I always wear nail polish, if for some reason I want to take it off and I'm not home well this is a life savior. It was about 3.90€ I guess, I'm not sure sorry.

    Moving on to make up, the next thing I bought is a foundation. This is the Rimmel "Match Perfection" in shade "103 true Ivory" I have heard so so so much about it I really wanted to give it a try and I worn it today actually, it was a small day for me but until now I like it. I'll let you guys know if more!


   Staying in the "face-make up-beauty-skin" theme (whaat?) the next thing I got is a night lip balm. Since I have braces, I thing that I sleep with my mouth open (don't judge me, this is so not glorius.) I'm wearing braces since 2 years and I never had so damaged and dried lips in my life! I can't even wear lipstick because of the lip skin I guess (I don't even know if it has a particular name or whatever but anyway) there are some tiny little pieces of lip skin that kinda go off and if I wear colored lipstich you can see them even more. So when I was at Kiko and saw it I really wanted to give it a try since it was more or less 5€ wich is quite affordable. I have tried it and it is so amazing! I feel like reliving! I'll talk about it in my next monthly favorite, that's for sure! Stay tuned.



   LADIES AND GENTLEMAN LET ME INTRODUCE YOU THE PERFECT HAND BAG PALETTE! You have guessed thanks to my enthuiast introduction that I'm going to talk about make up. So this one has a story : I got it in my easter egg! Like I said earlier, my mom is the most attentioned person and since she know me realy well, she knew that I'd be happier with make up than chocolat or candies (I'd be super happy too if I had chocolats though) So she searched a little make up product that she could put in an egg and she found the perfect thing! It is a nude palette by Nyx with eye shadows but also some lip products! I just think it is the cutest thing ever. Thank you mommy! 




 

   If you're following me on instagram you may have noticed that I'm a huge H&M lover so I quite often go there and buy 2 or 3 items. The first thing I have bought from H&M is a set of 3 pairs of ear rings. There is one really simple, it has shine. The middle one is the actual reason why I bought it : I have been searching for anchor ear rings for ages! I had to get it! So it is a simple gold anchor wich is super cute if you ask me. The last ones are hearts, they're a bit big but I really like them. They have tiny  little shine all across them and it's also in a gold color.




 The next thing I purchased from H&M is as useful as lice. This is so not a good example but anyway, I hate lice. It is wet wipes that smell good, you just take a wipe and put it on your hand I guess. I'm not quite sure what it is for yet, I'll let you guys know! It was 0.95€ so I thought "why not?" ! The day I took the pictures, my nail polish was matching the little flowers so yeah! It is the Rimmel 60 seconds in a pinky shimmery purple shade, it has no name like the Kiko ones sorry.
  Also, I felt like I had to mention that I absolutely hate the smell to be honest... MAybe some people would like it but I just don't... There are other smells that might be more likeable but this one is really unpleasant.






  Not from H&M but staying in the super random things, the next thing I got from the baby section are cotton pads XXL. Super useful!

 
   Another random thing I got is a shower gel from treacle moon. It is the "iced strawberry dream" one. The color catched my eyes on the shelf and when I smelt it, I thought it would be so nice smelling this after the shower. It smells like strawberry candy and I just love strawberry candy...


This was the last item that I have bought lately! Thank you for reading and even more for reading that far!
See you all very soon for a new post,
Loads of love,
Lou xx

Always forgive, never forget.



Hi guys, it's me again.
  Today, I'm not gonna write anything about beauty or fashion. I guess it more a lifestyle, an idea to live by...
I'm writting this because I know how it feels to be left behind, to be a second choice, to be broken or feeling so alone you just wish you could disappear. I also know that I'm exposing my life to perfect strangers but if what I will say below could help just a single one of you, just one, it would be more than enough.

  If you ever been cheated on, lied to or disappointed by someone you really trusted then I know exactly what you are going through. Maybe you're just in a part of your life that's not easy, maybe you have not find yourself yet. Being a teenager is hard (yes, I still am a teenager but my mommy told me so and she never lies okay) and you always feel like whatever happens to you, it is the end of the world, your world.
  You're feeling like you're not worth the truth or being with someone anymore, and this feeling just hurts so bad deep inside. And that's okay. You have the right to be sad, mad or broken. The only thing you musn't do is to keep everything on your shoulders, you are strong enough to keep going but you can't do it all alone. Friends and family is the best cure against sadness, loneliness, pretty much everything if you ask me.
  Don't stick to the situation. You have to get better and you will, you have to feel okay again and move on. You can't move on the next chapter if you keep re-reading the last one, turn the page (not takig credit for this super famous quote but I could'nt agree more.)
  At first you'll be sad, you might cry your eyes out at night. Keep doing it, tears are just words unsaid, the more you cry, the more you get better. Don't do anything stupid that you might regret. If you're in the "sad" part, then keep looking forward, head held high, don't give up yet. This part is the hardest but I can asure you, once you past it, once you're angry, you're half way to the "I'm feeling so freaking good and it's not thanks to you" part.
   If you're at the angry part, let it all out. Be angry. Scream. Shout. Yell. Beat. Work out. Run. Draw. Do whatever makes you feel better and unwind. Let the world know what you are thinking, let things out, in anyway.
  You can be mad at anyone, and you probably will, but not at you. You have nothing to do with the person who lied's choice. It is not your fault, don't you forget that. There is something you really have to know, when you will be ready to forgive the person who did you wrong and maybe who doesn't deserve your forgiveness, you won't do it for anybody but you. You need it to get over it and to move on.
  Knowing you are strong enough to forgive someone who might have zero reason to be forgiven is one of the best feeling in the world.
  If you are not angry anymore, it means that you have gone through a lot with strength and that you have moved to the next chapter. This is one of the best things you could do, move one and live the life that makes you happy. Maybe some people can stay in your heart but not in your life.
  Forgiving does not mean forgetting. Learn from your mistakes, never forget.

  I hope this tiny little thing made you feel for at least 37 seconds that you are not all alone, made you feel like we all've been through pretty much the same thing but not the same story. You always can talk to me, I'll listen. No matter where you're from, the colour of your skin, your religion, your age.
  Find me on twitter or instagram if you ever wanna talk...or not.

  See you all very soon for a new post,
  Loads of love,
  Lou x
