Relax in your own bathroom. Undergo a treatment at the beautician. Or replenish your stock and stand in the aisle at the drugstore in doubt. You have a lot of beauty products, brands and helpers at home without noticing and that's how you pronounce the most difficult.

Yep, indeed to clean yet you pronounce it as klen-zer. Remember it in case a conversation ever comes to a halt during an evening of drinks with the neighbors ('say, did you know...').
Not a product, but a much-chosen color technique at the hairdresser. You pronounce it ba-la-ja-zje. Wow, it might as well have been a traditional dance from the Balkans!
Also a beautiful one. This delicious spread comes down to:sjee.
Do you also have a rainbow of nail polish colors at home? Just like most Dutch people say wie-fie, where the rest of the world says wai-fai, we have a hand in pronouncing this well-known brand as o-pie. Error! It's o-pie-ai, so the English letters one by one.

But anyway, we understand what you mean.
Also one to get your toe clean and fresh again. Just repeat after us:mie-sè-lèr.
Wow, this one surprised us too. That double c becomes an x when you pronounce it. Loxie-tan. Or:lok-sie-tan.
