Bourjois 123 perfect CC cream: review!

Hi there!

Here I am again with another review. This time I'll be sharing my thoughts about the Bourjois 123 perfect CC cream. I went ahead and bought this at the beginning of this summer because I didn't feel like wearing a full-coverage foundation when it's super hot outside. So, I found this and let me tell you; I love it!

Bourjois 123 perfect CC cream €12.99

To me, everything that was said on the packaging was very promising. Anti-fatigue, anti-redness and anti-dark spots? Yes please! It's also hydrating, and during summer, that is very welcome. When I first tried it, I wasn't immediately sure weather I liked it or not. But looking back, I think it was just my skin that was having a difficult time haha. So after using it a couple of times, I fell in love. Obviously, this is not full coverage and not great if you want a complete flawless skin but that's fine because that was not what I was looking for at all. I would say this is light/medium coverage and that's what I like wearing the most.  

Color 32: light beige

The consistency of this cream is very runny and I like that, especially for summer. I apply it with a brush, but you can easily use your hands or a BeautyBlender, anything you prefer. It feels great on the skin because it's so light. I don't even feel like I'm wearing anything on my face.  I do use a concealer with this cc-cream, because it doesn't really cover my dark circles or very obvious spots, but that's ok. 

At the end of the day, this cc-cream has faded a bit, especially on my T-zone. But nothing too tragical and it's definitely not a reason not to buy it. I highly recommend this cc-cream just for a natural, everyday coverage. It gives my skin such a nice, healthy look and I love it!

Packing up for holidays!

Hi there! 

So it's finally that time again where I can start packing for holidays. I'm so exited for the trip, not so much for the packing part... This year I decided not to wait until the very last moment like I usually do. Here, I will share my holiday musthaves and how I pack. 

 First of all: makeup! On holiday, I don't really wear that much makeup, but I like to bring some stuff for when I'm going out in the evenings or something. Something I do to make sure I have everything with me, is packing a couple of days in advance. The days after I've packed my makeup bag, I do my makeup only using the products that are in my makeup bag. This way, I'll notice if there's something that I've forgot to pack and I still got time to add it to my makeup bag. 

Makeup bag: Hema €3.50

Kruidvat moisturizing dagcrème €2.29
Victoria's secret 'Love Spell' €16.22
Kruidvat cleansing gel €1.69
Kruidvat Moroccan argan oil € 2.49

The next thing I need is skincare. To me, this is very important because my skin gets super dry from being in the sun all day. I do try to limit the products I pack, because otherwise there won't be enough space in my suitcase. A bodylotion is certainly a musthave. At the moment I'm really enjoying the Victoria's secret Love spell body lotion. It has a very runny texture and it smells delicious! To keep my face healthy and soft, I also bring my moisturizer. My go-to moisturizer is the Kruidvat moisturizing dagcrème. This is the cheapest moisturizer ever, but I love it! It's amazing. The last skincare product I bring with me is my cleansing gel, again from Kruidvat. 

For my hair, I just use my regular shampoo and conditioner, but for extra care, I also bring a bottle of argan oil. This is literally a lifesaver. I apply it to my hair for about 20-30 minutes on my hair before I take a shower. This keeps my hair from getting damaged and keeps it healthy. I also add a few drops to my moisturizer for extra care for my face. I highly recommend trying it out! 

Now the hardest part: clothes... I find it sooo difficult to pack the right amount of clothes and every year I find myself packing waaaay to much. That's the real struggle of living in Belgium, you can only wear your cute summer clothes on holiday. Luckily these playsuits and bikinis don't take a lot of space so I can bring even more 😏




I. Can't. Wait!!!! 

Love A
