Deauty Box June 2013


I know it's a bit late but I want to share my June Deauty box with you! (Deauty is a Belgian beauty subscription service)

From left to right, first to third row:
  • Absolute NUDE eyeshadow palette from Catrice. I like it when my box has make up products but I was a little disappointed to be honest. Catrice is a relatively cheap drugstore brand that's very easily accessible here. My sister even has the exact same palette.
  • The most interesting product this time is from Etat Pur. Not every box has the same product but mine is a serum for skin that tans difficultly (product A83). It contains tyrosine, an amino acid extracted from soybeans. I can't wait to try it and I hope it does what it promises!
  • Revitalizing Supreme moisturizing cream from Estee Lauder. It is an anti-aging cream but the explanation says it can work for everyone so I think I'm going to try it.
  • This box smelled very good when I opened it, courtesy of a natural soap from Lamazuna. It's a traditional soap from Syria with olive oil and roses.
  • Even more make up, also from Catrice! A matte lipstick in "It's a Matte world", which is a bright coral-red color.
  • The last product is a travel sized shave cream for men from Eucerin, which I gave to my boyfriend ;)

June Favorites

The very first blogpost on the 1st of July... Nothing more appropriate than an overview of my favorites in the past month! As you may have read in the short info I'm a student which means I've been studying for exams the past couple of weeks. For this reason my June Favorites contain very few beauty products and are pretty random ;)
Without further ado...

MAC blush in  Peaches - The Body Shop Cocoa Butter Lip Care Stick

The few products I've been using regularly are the MAC blush in Peaches and the Cocoa Butter lipbalsem from The Body Shop
The blush is perfect to add a little colour to your complection. No matter how long I sat behind my desk, some moisturiser, a little mascara and a dab of Peaches on the apples of my cheeks made a world of a difference! It has been a favorite of mine since I bought it but during this exam period I just couldn't live without! 
The lip balm has also been a favorite since I first purchased it in December of last year. At the moment I nearly finished my second one. While studying I've been constantly reapplying.

Healthy eating - homemade smoothie - Lipton Ice Tea Green -
homemade ice tea (not my photo) - Lonka Soft Bites Caramel

Next, I've got three food favorites. 
The first one is healthy eating in general. I'm trying to eat healthier for a while now but during this exam period I really felt a difference, which I never believed would happen! I especially try to eat a healthy breakfast to start my day, generally natural yoghurt with fruit and muesli. I also made a lot of smoothies, for breakfast or as a snack. 
I also try to drink a lot during studying to keep me hydrated, but after a few weeks it can get quite boring just drinking water so my mom went out and bought me some iced tea. Iced tea is my favorite soft drink, I prefer a large glass of Lipton Iced Tea Green or even homemade Iced Tea, with extra ice :) I especially enjoyed it during exams as a little pick me up.
 My third favorite isn't quite as healthy as the others, it's the Soft Caramel Bites from Lonka which I bought at Action because they were very cheap :p I love caramel so these are spot on! But they are very very sweet so I don't eat more than a few at once (which says a LOT in my case!). 

Coffee cup (Lidl)
A really random favorite is this one: my I <3 Coffee cup which I spotted while doing some grocery shopping at Lidl with my mom and sister. The only thing I drink more than iced tea (besides water) is coffee, especially during exams ;)

Twitter - Instagram - Law and order SVU
Social media favorites during the past month were Twitter and Instagram. Perfect for a short, or not that short, study break ;)
My favorite television show is Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. I hadn't watched this tv series before downloading it but I really like it! I'm already watching the second season at the moment.


Favorite song: Cheryl Cole - Call my name.
