Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque


I have heard so many raves about this face masque and it's just so sad that this is not widely sold to the Dutch market. Ordering online from American webshops is not an option since their shipment is limited to only American and Canadian consumers. While ebay is an option, the shipping cost is just too much.

So after wandering around, I finally found this facial mask at a place where I totally did not expected. It's in a shop where hair extensions are sold and it retails at € 5,95.

I am so excited and can't wait to try this one out. It promises to help dry up acne pimples, rinse away blackheads and shrink enlarged pores.

We'll see...

Sale, sale, sale!!!

Hey i was at the mall yesterday and i was very happy to share what i discovered. It's mid February and most of the shops are still on huge sale. I grabbed the opportunity and made some great buys. First stop was at Lucardi, a jewelry shop in the Netherlands. Most of their stuff were on 50% sale. My eyes caught this really simple but really beautiful gold ring with diamond. It was such a great buy. It was originally from 65 euros less 50%! You do the math.

Since this shopping spree was all about accessories, my goal was to buy as much as I can since I feel like I missed out on it. I am now in a phase where I am so into bling-bling and just want to collect but also select nice pieces. At the Kijkshop, all their accessories were on 75% discount. WOw! what a bargain, don't you think? So i bought a quite a few and I was so happy.

From there, I went to the Hema. Some of their accessories were at 1 euro each. I am extremely happy because they really are amazingly good quality pieces. Then I went to the Zeeman. I know most people would not even go there, but what the heck, you can always find nice things everywhere. And in deed, I did! i bought some necklaces and that were less than 2 euros each. Beat that!

Last stop was at the Kruidvat, there they have accessories on sale at 2 euros. So i bought a few.

This bargain hunt day for me was a huge success. I bought home lots of accessories and it made me so happy. You don't need to spend a lot to look good. Just be humble and be content of the little things in life - then you'll feel good.

I don;t know when the sale is up to. It probably is good while supply lasts. So don't wait too long.

Blogging Day 1

Hello you all. This is my very first blog ever. I've heard some of my friends blogging but it never really came up to me to actually make one. So this is a my pilot blog - a try out. Then we'll see if words will pop out from this moment on. i don't really have a specific topic in mind right now to write about. But I will think this through and who knows, i might just come out with a great idea you might be interested in. So watch out for it.
