Burt's Bees Super Shiny Mango Shampoo and Conditioner - Review

As a big mango fan, recently I decided to search some of my favourite beauty webshops for mango products. I'm not that into hair care, but I really fell for these two. This shampoo and conditioner are filled with mango seed oil. The shampoo also has fig oil and the conditioner some avocado oil. Both promise to defrizz and moisture your hair to make it look all shiny....

New York Cheesecake recipe

This is one of my favorite recipes ever. This cheesecake is quite easy to make and it's super delicious. I've made it about 3 times now, using different measurements each time. This time, I feel I've gotten it down to pretty much perfection, so I wanted to share the recipe with you guys. First of all I need to mention that I bought a new springform pan especially...

Uncover Skincare & Suncare/Suncover by Jetske Ultee review

This article will be mainly in Dutch since the products are only available in the Netherlands. I really like these sunscreens as they do not irritate the skin and have calming ingredients for the skin. For more information you can contact me at closetandpantry (@) gmail dot com. Dit artikel plaats ik in het Nederlands aangezien deze producten momenteel alleen in Nederland...

Lush Catastrophe Cosmetic Fresh Mask review

Hi everyone! I'm a big fan of using a mask a few times a week, I really feel like it helps you and your skin relax a little bit. I can't say that I'm totally convinced that most masks do a great job of 'giving your skin that little extra boost', but the overall experience of putting it on and feeling a (hopefully!) softer skin once you rinse it off. Today I will review...

Goat's cheese portobello with creamy pasta

I assure you, this might look difficult to make but it's absolutely not. It's not very low-fat but oh so delicious. It's also a dish you can really adjust to your own tastes. Leave some ingredients out if you want, or add some! This dish combines all of my fasvourite ingredients together: tomatoes, onions, mushrooms and goat's cheese. It's easy to make but looks fancy...

MAC Duo Image Compact Mirror review

I had been using a really old compact mirror to apply my make up for about... let's see... probably almost 10 years. I used to have a big mirror in my room but I never really used it much. You can never apply make up as well as when you look in a mirror closely, preferably sitting down. Now I was relatively happy with my old compact mirror, despite the fact that it was...

Essie first timer nailpolish - resort 2013 review

Essie First Timer nailpolish is part of the resort 2013 line. I really love green nailpolish and I got a bit sick of all the minty colours out there and fell in love with this one. This nailpolish performed well, as I'm used to from Essie. It was pretty much 99% opaque after one coat but I like applying at least two coats to make everything look more even. I must...

Banana pancakes with fruit

My ideal start of the day goes with a good and not so quick breakfast. On days when I have time to relax, I love taking the time to cook three really good meals. This is one of my favourite breakfasts and it's quite healthy too. The only ingredients you need are some bananas, eggs and olive oil. The rest is completely optional! Now I can't take complete credit...

First post

About this blog I've wanted to start my own blog for a long time after having followed so many myself. I love reading posts of other bloggers on numerous subjects such as fashion, beauty, skincare and food. I start my day reading blogs and I end my day with it as well. To be able to reach so many people (or maybe even a handful), sounds very rewarding to me. I have put...
