May Glossy Box (France)

   Hello everybody!
   First of all I wanted to apologize for my late article and for my two-weeks-long absence of the blogospere. Like I mentioned in the tiny little article where I exlpained the reasons, I had lots and lots of exams during these 2 weeks and I had absolutely no time to sit down and write for you guys... I really am sorry.
   Anyways, I am here today and this is the most important! I received the May Glossy Box and if you have read my April Glossy Box article ( if not check it out just click on the link) I was super disappointed by it so I expected this one to be a bit better, and it is!
I'm so so so happy about this one, every single thing in it was perfect. No more talking, more showing, let the pictures speak for themselves!

   This is how it looks like, always pretty and girly and pinky and every thing that I like! It came like always with five beauty products but it also had a little bloc note, really cute that I'm gonna keep on my hand bag if I'm on the street or on the bus or something like that and that an idea comes on my mind I have to note it down or the second after it'd be gone.






   Then I opened it up, this is what I saw!


  The first thing that was on that cute little heaven box was a moistrizing body lotion from academie cosmetics. I smelt it and, OH MY GOD, I fainted. This thing smells so freaking good, it is not a really feminine fragnance to be honest it smells like men but I really love it! It feels light and soft on the skin which is really likeable so thank you for putting that on that box who ever you are!



   The next thing I got is also a cream but I'm definitely giving it to my mum because it is an anti-aging/anti-wrickle cream from Payot which is a super famous and well known brand but anyways no thank you!


   The third thing I got is a metallic nail polish. SO EXITING! I already got one and I don't know what's wrong with it but it does not work if that makes any sense... Which I highly doubt but yeah, it is a goergous blue-green metallic color and I don't own anything similar so I'm really happy! Thank you again Glossy Box! And the magnet I got is a triangle shape I guess? I have no idea how I could describe it to be honest so just look at the picture, you'll understand!



   Staying in the beauty items theme, the next thing that I got is a mineral mascara! Yes, you read it right. A mineral mascara 99% made of natural ingredients which is really rare, I've never seen such things so I can't wait to try this! This is from BM Beauty.





   And last but not least, I also got something that I have no idea how to say in English so please excuse me... I'm doing my best, I promise! So anyways, this is something you take daily in the morning to prepare the skin, it activates and makes the tanning last longer and you do it 15 days before the exposition to the sun (which seems to be very shy at the moment)


   So this was the May Glossy Box for France, I hope you guys liked it, again I invite you to check out my article linked above about the april glossy box, even more if you want more informations about the whole concept etc..everything is said in that post!
I see you all very very soon for a new post,
Loads of love,

Internet orders.

   Hello everybody!
   I hope everything is okay for you guys and that you are enjoying the beginning of May and of the sun!
   So if you have read my previous posts you may know that I have been waiting a Bourjois order for a very long time and I finally received it! There isn't a lot of things that's why I am also going to show you guys an order from an online shop called BuyInCoins. Just keep reading, things are getting interesting!

   First I'm going to talk to you guys about the Bourjois order. I bought this on an only shop called "Vente Privées" which is a french shop so if you're not from France you won't know what this is so let me explain. It is a website where there is ephemeral sells from different brands and all the prices are lower than usually that's why when I saw a Bourjois sell I had to give it a look.

   The first thing I got was a healthy-glow foundation for fair skin, it's a natural formula so I thought I'd give it a try.

   

    The next thing I got is also a foundation but a liquid one this time, it is the organic detox foundation, I haven't tried it yet but I made some research and some people absolutely love it and other absolutely hated it so I guess I'll have to make up my mind by myself!



  Moving on to lip products, the next thing I got is quite weird/interesting/scary to be honest. This is not something that I am personaly gonna use, I bought it for my mom actually. It is a gloss which has two tips, one "random" I guess, it is a translucide gloss with white focus pigments and an other with tooth-brightening effect gel that you put on your tooth. It is all about making your tooth brighter as you can see.


 This is the "gloss" tip.
 This is the "gel" tip.


   And last but not least from Bourjois, I got a lip gloss from the 3D effect Max collection in shade 61. It is a really nice pink and it is so glossy and lovely I really really like it!





   Now, moving on to the most exiting part of all this, I'm gonna talk about my BuyInCoins order. BuyInCoins is a chinese only website that I have discovered on Instagram so I gave the site a look and I was absolutely chocked. Every thing is so cheap at first I thought it was a kind of a rip off so I googled it and I found a facebook page and a lot of people were talking about it, then I searched again on instagram and there was a lot of pictures so I thought that it was actually freaking cheap. The total amount of everything mentioned below is 20€. Yes it is, sir.

   The first thing I got is a set of 18 brushes click here to see their description or if you want to buy it. I am so exited and happy about it, it was only 8€ for the 18 brushes, they are huge they don't even fit my makeup case! The quality is good, the hair are so soft I'm just in love! It came with a roll up leather bag too.



Let's take a closer look to the brushes! So first you have the foundation/blush brushes.

    Then, you have the concealer and eye shadows ones.



   You may judge me, go ahead and do so but I have no idea what this is for if you have any idea please let me now in the comment section below you could save me from ignorance.

  
   Then you have the eye liner ones.

  And finally, lashes and mascara brushes.


   As you can see it is huge and the quality looks good even on pictures! 

    Staying in the brushes section, the next thing I got is a liquid foundation brush because I did not have one like ths yet so, yeah, same as the other one the hair are super soft and it was 3€ or so!
The next beauty related item I got is a palette of 10 blushes, really similar to the mac one but it was about 5€ for all of them! It is so pigmented and I love every single ones, I also can use some of the dark ones as bronzer.




And the last thing I got is a nude concealer palette with every thing you'll ever need to cover spots or redness etc... It was about 3€ and it has a little miror on it so this is really cute!


This is the end of my internet orders, I hope you guys liked it and that you will order some things from the shops linked on the post, let me know if you do,
See you all very soon for a new post,
Loads of love,
Lou xx

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,
Lou x

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
