hey guys!
I'm Marieke and I live in Holland. I love makeup. I'm not so very good at English, so you guys may (will) find some mistakes in my blog. I will try to write something every week, but I can't guarantee everything.
I'm 13 years old. I do wear makeup about 2 times a week. I'm in the third year of my gymnasium education. I'm going to America in a couple of months, and since I love makeup, I decided to test my English and start a blog. I'm not so very good at makeup, so if you have any tips, please tell me. I will mostly do reviews or tutorials. I also have a youtube channel you can check out, it's called LesMisLover17. I don't have a lot of videos on it yet, but in a few weeks time, that will change. I hope you like my blog.
Bye!

cheap beauty
All girls want to look gorgeous. But how can we look beautifull without spending tons of money? here are some of the cheapest brands that work great. Off course you can just go to action or hema, but these brands are sold in many different stores. Hope you like it!
1. essence. Essence is my favourite brand. I love their pallettes and nailpolishes. A great essence pallette is the quattro eyeshadow pallette. I've got two of them, in the colours 6 (rock angel, greens) and 5 (to die for, browns). They work great, only the dark colours show up really dark and the medium colours show up very light. The colours in this pallette have a variety of finishes. In both pallettes are a matte and three shimmery colours. This makes the colours nice to combine. The quattro's cost about three euro's each.
Their nailpolish is also pretty good. It's called colour & go. It's a quick drying polish, which I like about it, and it takes about one minute to dry. I've got three colours, 4 (space queen, a clear polish with loads of glitter), 37 (just rock it!, a blue colour) and 22 (what do u think, sort of a samon-orange colour with a little bit of gold sparkle). I like space queen as a topcoat, because you can spice up you nails with it. the polish is a little hard to apply, because it is pretty thick. This is actually only with the blue and the glitter polish, the orange applies great. They cost one euro and thirty cents each.
2. the color workshop (tcw). The color workshop is not as good as essence, but I sort of like their nailpolish. Their eyeshadow is not very pigmented, and their eyepencil is just rubbish. Still, they are very cheap. I bought a box with a brush set (which I love) 4 nailpolishes, 2 eyepencils, 2 lippencils, 4 lipsticks and 4 eyeshadow pallettes with 6 colours each. It cost me 20 euros. I also have a eyeshadow and mixed pallette. I don't know how much that cost. Their pallettes have, like the essence ones, a lot of different finishes. They are great to mix together, but you really have to layer it on top of your eye, because you don't see a lot of it. I would not recommend this brand, but if you don't have the money for more, it's ok to use.
3. last but definetely not least, casuelle. I don't know if this brand is sold anywhere else in the world, but in holland you can get it. I have a great box with a lot in it, and the only thing I'm not happy about is their mascara. I got another mascara to see if that one was good, but I hated it. Ok, if you want a natural look, their mascara is great, but it stinks. It smells very chemical. the eyeshadow in the box is great, it is very pigmented. Their blush is also ok, but I wouldn't recommend it. if you get any chance of getting a casuelle pallette (eyeshadow), grab it! It's a great brand which is very cheap. I can't tell you the price, because I got the box for my birthday.
In case you haven't noticed, I'm Dutch, so please tell me if I made any mistakes in my English. I would like to learn more from this blog.
