Proving to myself, I can get festival ready in ten minutes – that was the original idea of this video. But a discovery I made in the toy department overthrew the original concept.

Ten minutes to get that festival-ready look. A real challenge for someone like me, who a) can’t stand festivals and b) needs a suitcase full of makeup even for a natural look. Find out how I managed with the clock working against me in the video. For English subtitles, click the gear icon, «Subtitles/CC» and «Auto-translate».

Here’s a condensed summary of what you need to turn an ordinary look into something more festival-worthy. Good to know: I didn’t always use the exact products shown.

Bling for your locks

The Blinger is enjoying a popularity boost thanks to TikTok. That’s cool, but there’s a downside: it’s sold out and we’re struggling to get our hands on the next batch.

These are the alternatives:

As a massive Disney fan, I see the world through rose-tinted glasses. I worship series from the 90s and consider mermaids a religion. When I’m not dancing in glitter rain, I’m either hanging out at pyjama parties or sitting at my make-up table. P.S. I love you, bacon, garlic and onions.
