My name is Lucy, I'm a 25-year-old girl from the Netherlands, and I'm here to offer an alternative approach to beauty.
On this channel I do mostly hair tutorials where I show you how to braid, pin and style your own hair. I recreate hairstyles from movies & tv shows and I regularly come up with my own, which I love to share with you!
I do lifestyle and beauty videos as well, ranging from wearable everyday looks, makeup tips and DIY natural beauty treatments, to fashion lookbooks, vegetarian recipes and more extreme Halloween tutorials.
If you enjoy history, you've come to the right place as well. I have a few series based on historical makeup and hairstyling that are my little passion projects.
Enjoy browsing!
Love,
Lucy

![The Wall Song ร้องข้ามกำแพง | EP.213 | กรีน อัษฎาพร | 3 ต.ค. 67 [1/5]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/3KrlLbCsadI/mqdefault.jpg)
A book series that I have read is called The Lunar Chronicles. It’s basically 4 books that are based off of classic fairy tails, but take place 1,000 years after today. So they have androids, cyborgs, hovers, ports and all kinds of technology. The 1st book is called Cinder who’s basically Cinderella, the 2nd is Scarlet and she’s based off of Little Red Riding Hood, the 3rd is Cress and she’s based off of Rapunzel and the 4th is Winter and she’s based off of Snow White. All 4 books are very good and I highly recommend! The author is Marissa Meyer.
My favorite book is Memoires of a Geisha. So well written. The sentences are as beautiful as looking a painting. I am currently reading Crazy Rich Asians. And really enjoying all the different characters in it.
If you like historical fiction, I recommend Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett! It takes place during 12th century England and it is amazing because character development is on par with George R. R. Martin's books, and the history part of the book is super accurate!! It centers around daily life in a medieval village, but also relates to the true events of Empress Matilda and her cousin Stephen fighting for the throne. You may have read about them when you were doing your beauty beacon research for Eleanor of Aquitaine. :)
Just sat down with a cup of green tea to watch this! Can't wait :)
OMG I had no idea you play D&D. YOU ARE MY PEOPLE! 🧙♀️
Gissell Dow I was super excited and surprised too!
I saw you had a new tea time video up and made a pot of tea so I could watch it! Also, I specifically made jasmine tea because I thought it would be appropriate for a Loepsie video and that it seems to be you go-to, but your drinking something different this time! I thought that was funny 😆 thank you for posting! I love tea time! ♥️☕️
Very interesting as always to hear your views. On book recommendations I heartily recommend Anne Cleeves' series of Shetland crime mysteries. I'm Irish but love both Scotland and Scandinavia. In fact the further north I go the happier I get. This year I was lucky enough to go up into the Artic Ocean, visit Norway and on the way back go to Shetland. And the place mesmerised me. The wonderful mix of Scottish and Scandinavian in building, attitude and culture. Above all how un-insular it is, if that's a word. Islands, even Ireland in the past, can often be insular, prejudiced closed places and Shetland is anything but. Their biggest island is called Mainland which says everything. Scotland isn't mainland to them and neither is Norway. They view themselves as central, not cut off. Anyway getting slowly back to the point Anne Cleeves not only writes brilliant crime mysteries but gloriously captures sense of place and only when I went to Shetland did I realise how perfectly she has done it. I am halfway through one of her Shetland series called 'Thin Air' about a disappearance among English visitors to Unst, Shetland's most northerly isle and I have to put it down now and then just to stop me galloping through it so that I can stay there longer. :]
My favorite book is The Secret Garden, and so is my favourite movie (1993 version). I believe you will love them both, so if you don't know them I highly suggest them :-) (And it doesn't matter if you watch the movie first, you will enjoy reading the book too in any case).
Have you seen the tv series? It was made in the 80s and aired in the UK. I loved it as a child and that characterisation will always be "the real Mary Lennox" to me. Thank you for sparking this memory for me, I think this is on TH-cam somewhere....
@@KatieM786 Oh! I had no idea such tv show existed. I'm going to search for it right now. Thank you.
@@lilacandgooseberries6653 Sorry, I tell a lie, it was 1970s. I'm having issues finding the full episodea but here is a link to a clip compilation so you can see what the actors in it look like. th-cam.com/video/ELgOBT5V_N4/w-d-xo.html
Book recommendation: The Name of the Wind if you have not read it already. I'm really fussy when it comes to book and it's now one of my favourites!
I'll read your blog post about travelling, but for me it's incredible to have this opinion haha, I always want to move and discover other countries and cultures, I have lived in 3 different countries already (I'm only 23) and plan on going to Canada, Denmark and New Zealand soon! I love moving around :P
Could you say you're... ROTHFUSSY?? Ok sorry, I had to 😂🙈
@@Loepsie Aaaaaaah I love that!! xD
I'm definitely Rothfussy xD
every book from sarah lark !!!!!! my absolute favorites !!!! historic fiction in new zealand really loved it !
You just asked for book recommendations and I apologize if I get way too excited and overwhelm you this a list.. hahaha
My Favorites in the past 6 months have been:
'Travels with Herodotus' - Ryszard Kapuscinski, "The Girl Who Escaped Isis' - Farida Khalaf, 'The Saga of the Volsings', 'Silence in the Age of Noise' - Erling Kagge, and 'Norse Mythology' - Neil Gaiman.
I have always wanted to read Sherlock but never have.. haha I really should start making that a priority.
Crimson Petal and the White by Michael Faber so evocative of the Victorian era. Sugar remains one of my favourite protagonists.
Some books I would recommend are: Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik (which I still need to finish, but I love what I've read), If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio, The Sunne in Splendour by Sharon Kay Penman, Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith, and Tevye the Dairyman by Sholem-Aleichem.
Chai tea + Loepsie
I’m going to recommend ‘the wonder’ by Emma Donoghue. An odd read but something different. You may like it with it’s history and Irish connections.
one of my all time favourite books is "Cloud Atlas" by David Mitchell ! it follows different characters living in different time periods, so there's a bit of historical and some sci-fi, it will make you laugh, cry and think about loads of stuff. even if you're not usually into sci-fi, give it a try, i can't recommend it enough. there's also a really good movie adaptation :)
I love Scotland too! I love traveling in general but my heart is in Scotland (I'm from Michigan USA). Love you! - Speaking of Scotland, book recommendation would be the Outlander series :)
BOOK RECS
-Name of the Wind, by Patrick Rothfuss, if you havent read it. It's beautifully written, gives me LotR-meets-Harry Potter vibes but for grown-ups. Def my fave recent book.
-American Gods, by Neil Gaiman. There's a ton of mythology and history and it's also a fun story
My answer for the "favourite book" would be "Watership Down" by Richard Adams. So lovely and inspiring.
The passage trilogy is really good, there is a show out now for it. I'm currently reading the outlander series and love them too!
My favorite books are the Wheel of Time Series by Robert Jordan - they are LONG though (14 ~1000 page books) but they are so so good. Another good series is the Riddlemaster of Hed trilogy by Patricia McKillip - there is fantasy and a bit of mystery too.
Audiobook for LOTR really helped me get through the books. I struggled reading through the first book and then half way through the second book I started listening to the audiobook and it was much more interesting listening to the story rather than reading it for some reason??? I just googled a free audiobook of the LOTR on TH-cam lol. I am onto the the third instalment now but I have halted to make my way through a re-read of the Harry potter books (also audio booking with Stephan Fry narrating). Good luck!
I'm listening to the first book with my boyfriend before we go to sleep. Honestly we look forward to this so much, we even go to bed earlier. Sadly we don't live together. At home I listen to Twilight instead (don't blame me, it's a guilty pleasure xD).
Fun fact: The audio books of LotR are read by the german voice actor of Gandalf. He rolls the r a lot so bonus points for that, too, because obviously Morrrrrdorrrrr is a lot cooler than plain Mordor! :v
i've been loving audiobooks because reading seems like a chore with all the uni readings i have 🙈 my library has online audiobooks you can borrow so it's free for me!
i LOVE melina marchetta (australian YA/ adult writer). currently re-experiencing finnikin of the rock, a fantasy/ fiction book that really concentrates on the horror of being a refugee, being part of a diaspora, and trying to survive. really good and emotional.
I'm also re-readig/ listening to patrick ness (the knife of never letting go and the other two books is great YA).
I of course adore kerry greenwood and her whole lot of phryne fisher murder mystery books. if you like sherlock holmes i'm sure you'll ADORE phryne fisher.
Haaa I asked the question about choosing another subject to study in university :) Thanks for answering! Loved getting to know you better and I love your hairdo!
You gotta finish reading Lord of the Rings - once you get past the Council of Elrond it really picks up! For book recs, I highly recommend The Briar King by Greg Keyes.
"Beauty Beacons of Fantasy" could be an awesome addition to your channel! Thanks for your homey, cozy vids - they always cheer me up :)
Always enjoy your Q&As :) I recommend the Darker Shade of Magic series by VE Schwab.
Hooray, a fellow Pisces! If you're at all interested in astrology, I recommend the book The Inner Sky by Steven Forrest. I'm reading it now, and it's super interesting to explore the meanings behind the signs and planets. (Who knew there was so much more than just the sun sign!) Whether it has any actual fact behind it, who knows, but it's still fun to read about regardless. He explains in his first chapter that astrologers and non-astrologers alike often misunderstand astrology as fortune-telling, but it's not that at all. It's just another way of making sense of the world and discovering how we can be the best versions of ourselves :)
AAA loepsie, thank you so much for answering my question on the LGBT community and your thoughts on it! Your amswer was so heartwarming and honestly what i hoped to hear 💖
I have a ton of book recs, but they aren’t necessarily from recently ahaha.
The Handmaid’s Tale (Atwood), 11/22/63 (King), Bossy Pants (Fey), Tidying Up (Kondo)
My favorite book(if you like some Fantasy and Mythology) is Sword Of Summer by Rick Riordan
I've been enjoying The Pendragon Cycle series by Stephen Lawhead recently. It's a fantastic retelling of the King Arthur stories if you can handle the heavy Christian influences in the writing.
agatha christie „and then there were none“ is my absolute favorite book of all time I definitely recommend it to anyone who likes mysteries and crime
My favorites to recommend are the Outlander series from Diana Gabaldon, The Discovery of witches series from Deborah Harkness. I have read these over several times they are so good!
I like how you called the zodiac "character descriptions". Very DnD of you. :)
thanks for answering our questions :)
I’m currently reading Jane Steele which is a... not really a fan fiction of Jane Eyre but a sort of... what would have happened if Jane Eyre was bad? Sort of novel. It’s AMAZING and has surprised me so many times!
I'm a vegan Pisces Ravenpuff too, damn. We even have the same colouring and hair type! :O
I really recommend the mistborn trilogy from Brandon Sanderson, it's different from everything I read before! I grab it in january in my last vacations I can stop reading til I end it! So catchy!
Stephen Fry reading all of Sherlock Holmes plus his own commentary for over 71 hours is simply magnificent... 😉👍
What is the specific tea you're drinking? Would love to try it!
Book recommendation:. Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. It's a great book for someone that likes historical books, since it takes place in (I believe) the Middle Ages. But if you don't get around to reading it, then definitely check out the 8 part mini series. It's not exactly like the book, bit still a really great depiction!
Have you read Rivers of London? 😊 I'm just reading the sequel! 😊
P.S. I'm a Slytherin and proud!
I read the first book and I really enjoyed the setting and the kinda sarcastic tone of the narrator :)
@@junimondig Yes, it's fun isn't it! The second one doesn't disappoint and I just ordered the third! The characterisation is totally on point. Also I live in West London near the river and the descriptions of it are really accurate.
I love your hair! How did you do it?
I think you'd enjoy reading Libba Bray's "A Great and Terrible Beauty" (Gemma Doyle Trilogy).
It's set in the Victorian Era and is about 4 girls who visit a boarding school for young ladies and who try to find some kind of "freedom" in a world that's really all about making you a good housewife (to a man you'll have to serve no matter the way he treats you) and future mother. It also has some really nice ideas about magic (not so much Harry Potter-ish but more like one of them having some kind of visions that were passed down in the family and all of them working with the moon and just more "realistic" kind of magic, I guess (if you can say any kind of magic is realistic haha) :D) It also has a great love story, as one of the girls falls in love with an Indian Boy, who is not befitting her social rank... So all in one, I really think, you'd enjoy the storyline and atmosphere in the books 😊
Other than that a few books that already have been mentioned here like Name of the Wind by Rothfuss, I couldn't stop reading when I started it!
Ken Follett's Pillars of the Earth or World Without End are great books.
If you want more action: Bernard Cornwell's Saxon Stories (The first one being "The Last Kingdom" - you might have seen the series on Netflix) - the books a really a great read and set place in England in the Viking Era.
I'm a Ravenclaw btw 🦅💙😁
Hi! :) Just a thought, have you considered doing hair and makeup for television or movie sets as a plan B or a side job? The skills you demonstrate with your Halloween tutorials, historical hair and makeup series and even every-day looks are insanely amazing. You are truly so creative and talented. I could see you being so successful on a fantasy movie set!! I guess this could involve traveling which wouldn't be ideal, but for shows or movies filmed in and around the Netherlands, it could work. They film a ton of stuff in Scotland/Ireland, etc for the amazing scenery- for example the current show Vikings! :)
Those glasses are stunning. Are they the Michael Kors ones from your last lookbook?
Yes! 😊
Thanks! You are my glasses style icon tbh. You've made me embrace having to wear glasses 😊
P.s. Scottish person here, you made me smile when you mentioned liking Scotland
I think that if you really like The Lord of the Rings , you will enjoy Ranger's Apprentice series writen by John Flanagan 📚🌹💖 I have been enjoying them and he writes new books really quickly and they are amazing!
I think you will like The silent patient by Alex Michaelides :) I watched The Sinner after your recommendation and I loved it, and this book really reminds me of The Sinner, also intriguing and keeps you wondering till the end :)
Hi, Loepsie! I stumbled upon a blog you wrote a while ago about having pale olive skin. I have the same coloring as you and exactly the same struggle! Have you been able to find any foundation that works particularly well for you since? I've seen you use Healthy Mix in videos, which I like, but the shades tend to be too yellow for me...
Honestly, I've just stopped wearing foundation 😅 The Healthy Mix in 52 is the closest match I've been able to find that doesn't break the bank
@@Loepsie Haha, okay, thanks! :-)
Hi! If you havent yet, i recommend checking out reddit. They have a subreddit dedicated to people with pale olive skin with a ton of recommendations and shade matching advice :) I believe the subreddit is r/oliveMUA
I've been using the Healthy Mix in 52 for years, but then I discovered the Mac Face and Body N1. It's the perfect foundation. I invested on the 120 ml tube and it has lasted me around a year.
@@loreleyzambrano7856 Hey, thanks so much for the suggestion! I'll check it out. :)
Hi
Love ❤️ ur hairstyle
Love your accent.
Mythos from Stephen Fry is a nice read. ;)
You're the best!
I LOVE you
A lot of people live and are non vegans. Anyways I’m also a Pisces but the horoscope dose not fit me that well.
I'm a Ravenpuff/Huffleclaw too :-)
Also, just assuming for fun that astrological sign descriptions are true, you seem like such a true example of a Pisces!
More thoughts (I love this video!):
I love that you brought up the animal welfare donation you would give! And I would spend the money exactly like you said (currently buying a house myself, and yeah... I would love a million euros right about now!). Also, as a long time fan of you, I love the fact that you are not a traveler. Did you know that using airplane transportation is one of the biggest contributors to global warming? It's totally ok to not want to travel! I think it's often seen as something very inherently interesting and desirable to say you want to travel and "check off" places on a map, but I actually find it refreshing that you have your own view on it, and I agree with you. I also loved your post on that back when you first posted it.
My husband isn't vegan and he won't eat my cooking he eats fast food most of the time.
Do you read any comics?
Please Notice Me Senpai!!! 💕
❤❤❤
Nice 😀👌👏🤩
