Skincare science and quick reviews
When I started making videos, I had no idea how different my makeup would look on camera as opposed to real life. Of course I had heard people mention it, but as always you only ever really believe the things you experience yourself. So after a lot of trial and error, all documented on camera of course, I finally have settled for a routine I am content with.
August 2016 will forever be remembered as the month of boxes. And living out of boxes. And falling over boxes. You get the drill. But there still was some stuff, mostly the already unboxed stuff (ha, how many time can I say boxes in one paragraph?), that I enjoyed using. So here they are: My August 2016 Favorites. Barely any makeup, some skincare and a lot of random stuff. But sometimes life is just that. Random.
I sometimes feel like I was born in the wrong century. Maybe not my set of mind, I guess I fit perfectly into these days with my tendency to speak my mind and to long for adventures, but my appearance would have been much more appreciated around 1600: Blonde, chubby and incredibly pale? Rubens, meet your muse. Don´t get me wrong, I really enjoy living today, when I don’t necessarily die while giving birth and have a few more options for personal expression than posing nude for a painter. But the…
Another month, another empties video. This time it is a little bit of everything: Makeup and skincare as well as hair and body care. Oh, and a perfume! Not that I am going through all these products in one month, mind you, but I am making an effort to finish my stuff before using new one. And as I felt like I needed to stop rambling for ten minutes plus about my trash, I made different piles to film different videos in the time coming. Aktivieren Sie JavaScript um das…
If you are not familiar with the “Inspired by…” series, click here for an explanation. But short story even shorter, each month I choose a seasonal ad and try to recreate the models look with colors I already own. Dressing up and awkward posing included! This month I really wanted to do something with a hat (silly idea, as it turned out), and something blue, so I chose the Jill Stuart Summer 2016 ad for it´s beachy and summery vibes. Now I had forgotten that I lost my white…
If you have been following my blog for quite some time now, you know I am infatuated with skin care. Given that I wrote about my routine the last time in September 2014 (read here if you are still interested), I figured it was about time to show you what has changed since then. So prepare for my bare face and click the video below to see what I have done to keep my skin on track this winter. Aktivieren Sie JavaScript um das Video zu sehen.https://youtu.be/Jw1-hO_8DAU
If you are not familiar with the “Inspired by…” series, click here for an explanation. But short story even shorter, each month I choose a seasonal ad and try to recreate the models look with colors I already own. Dressing up and awkward posing included! As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to recreate the “Giorgio Armani Luxe is More” makeup in December. It may not be the most exotic look I have ever seen, but everything about it seems very glamorous and very “me”. Velvet…
I am pretty good at remembering faces, but struggle with knowing where exactly I have met the people attached to them. Same is true when it comes to makeup. I know what something looks like, but the actual brand sometimes eludes me. So when I saw Nastasja from Eyes Painted Black writing about the new Catrice Beautifying Lip Smoothers, I knew I had seen something similar before. But it took me a second before I realized what they reminded me of: The hyped Instant Light Natural Lip Perfectors by Clarins.…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER I am a huge fan of the Clarins Instant Eye Makeup Remover, but it is really expensive fr something I go through that quick, so I was really excited when I discovered The Body Shop Camomile Waterproof Eye and Lip Makeup Remover as a dupe. But let’s look at them side by side. I confess, there have been times when…
This blog post may contain affiliate links. Please read disclaimer. The one thing I like the most about flying is Duty-free. I will show up on the airport bright and early, not because I am worried about missing my flight, but because I like to spend hours wandering the stores. The Travel Exclusives almost always suck me in. I love a good bargain, and I really believe that most of them are hidden treasures just waiting to be discovered. This time, the Clarins Instant Light Lip Perfectors made…
