The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2 % + B5 – #firstworldproblems

This blog post contains affiliate links. Please read disclaimer. Is the “feels” side of a product important to you? Or is the sensual experience secondary, as long as a product delivers? And isn´t even asking this question the epitome of #firstworldproblems? I guess it is. If a product delivers ingredientwise, shouldn´t that be the only thing that matters? Why would we spend more just to have a more pleasant experience when applying something?     A question I do ask myself quite often when it comes to The Ordinary products, and one…

Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel – Little Mermaid

This blog post contains affiliate links. Please read disclaimer. I love “The little mermaid” by Hans Christian Andersen. My parents had to read it to me countless times, even though I´d always end up in tears. Mind you, although it is what inspired Disneys “Arielle”, the original story only bares slight resemblance to that movie. It is much darker, full of death and blood and loss.     Ah, you´ve got to love the old stories, told to prepare children for the cruel and dangerous world they were facing! The little…

Indie Lee Brightening Cleanser – Summer lovin´

This blogpost contains affiliate links. Please read disclaimer. Summer lovin´, happened so fast… Whenever temperatures are up and a beach holiday is in the cards, this line from Grease is my constant companion.     Not that I have had many summer flings lately, my beach days are filled with sand toys and my idea of a wild night is going to bed after ten pm. But the lack of fiery-eyed gigolos in my recent past (Mr. Loca is handsome, but not fiery-eyed) doesn’t mean that I can´t enjoy a…

Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum – Not an INCI blog

This blogpost contains affiliate links. Please read disclaimer. I am NOT a skincare guru. It is incredibly flattering when my blogging buddies call me that, and I am happy and grateful for everyone reading here and trusting my reviews, but I would never (ever!) claim that title for myself. You see: This is NOT an INCI blog. I am not a chemist, nor do I have any experience working in the industry.     I am a doctor, and even though I have read a ton of scientific publications and…

Asambeauty Vitamin E Skin Smoothing 24 hour cream

This blog post contains PR-samples and affiliate links. Please see disclaimer. When it came to jewelry, I used to be silver only for many years. Not because it suited me best, but because wearing gold made me feel older than I actually was. In my mind golden rings and bracelets were reserved for, you know, adults. People that earned money in proper jobs and knew what they were talking about. If I wore gold, I felt like dressing up as someone I wasn´t, a girl pretending to be her mother.  …

Tata Harper Nourishing Oil Cleanser – Just not the same

This blog post contains affiliate links. Please see disclaimer. We all have expectations when it comes to brands. They are triggered by marketing, packaging, maybe reviews we have seen online. And, quite often, by the experiences we have had before.     If the first product was a huge disappointment, we will approach others with caution. If the first product blew us away, we get all excited to try more.   So basically, if the first product is a hit, the brand has won. Right? Wrong.   Case in point?…

Ole Henriksen Sheer Transformation – Mind, body and soul

This blog post contains affiliate links. Please see disclaimer   Transforming yourself, be it body, mind or soul seems to be a necessity these days. And while I am all about personal development and life long learning, I think we have to remember every once in a while that not everything we are is a constant work in progress. That would take a lot of pressure out of our daily lifes and sometimes even help things to stay good instead of being transformed into something else simply for transformations sake.…

erborian Solid Cleansing Oil – Scents

This blog post contains affiliate links. Please see disclaimer Are you a perfume girl? I most definitely am not. I struggle to even remember to apply it once in the mornings, let alone reapply throughout the day. My collection consists of three bottles, and only two get used regularly. So it is safe to say, I am not your best bet when it comes to describing scents.   How does that smell? –Nice. Story of my life.     When reading up on the erborian Solid Cleansing Oil, someone mentioned…

pixi Glow O2 Oxygen mask – Ox and horn

This blog post contains *PR-Samples and affiliate links. Please see disclaimer.   In Germany there is a saying that indicates the impossibility of getting a reaction from someone. Roughly translated it means: “Like pinching an ox in the horn.” I often think about this saying when I try to get a reaction from my husband regarding new lipsticks, nail polish choices or truly anything makeup related. In fact I was sure that no matter what I´d do, he´d always look at me and say: “Whatever.”     Turns out I…
