Caudalie Vinopure Clear Skin Purifying Toner – Double Check

This blog post contains affiliate links. Please read disclaimer. Due to the fact that I do my blog post research half German, half English, things can get a bit confusing. Different regulations depending on whether you are in Europe or in the US, different formulations of your favorite products, even slightly different names which makes SEO a nightmare –  I have seen it all.     But when I did my research for the Caudalie Vinopure Clear Skin Purifying Toner, I had to double check, because the German website read……

My favorite face masks – for the moment

This blog post contains *PR-Samples and affiliate links. Please read disclaimer A beauty lovers heart is fickle, and what is deeply loved one month might be gathering dust just a few weeks later. Believe me, I have been there!     But there are a few items that stay with us for longer, products we reach for over and over again, and now that fall is around the corner and I get the urge to pamper myself, I figured it would be a great time to share my favorite face masks.…

Anti-aging – More than just a word?

A little over a year ago, Allure Magazine decided to ditch the term anti-aging.     In their September 2017 issue (featuring the gorgeous Helen Mirren on the cover) they stated: “This issue is the long-awaited, utterly necessary celebration of growing into your own skin — wrinkles and all. No one is suggesting giving up retinol. But changing the way we think about aging starts with changing the way we talk about aging. With that in mind, and starting with this issue, we are making a resolution to stop using…

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…

5 hacks for oily skin

5 hacks for oily skin (that are not skincare)

Oily skin – my biggest issue ever since I was 13 years old. Well, that and acne. And the question why my thighs looked thick in pencil skirts. And why I always seem to fall for the bad guy. But not todays topic, Anne, get back on track! Over the years I have tried countless things to keep my skin balanced, from the “harsh foaming cleanser followed by alcohol toner” routine to several kitchen hacks the friend of a friend (of a friend) had amazing results with.     You Tube wasn´t a thing back then, which…

Monthly Recap: August 2018

Times are busy, and I feel like they get busier every day. Catching up with my favorite blogs daily is something I haven´t been able to do in a long while, and as I figured you are probably in the same boat, I decided to introduce the Monthly Recap series. It is meant to be an overview of all the blog posts I have written, all the videos I have uploaded and a few extra informations thrown in for good measure. To make it easier to find what you are interested in I split…

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…

Why I think you should still play video games

“Still?” is the question I get asked most when I mention it. “You still play video games?” Yes. Yes I do.     I started at the tender age of 11, on my C 64 with 5,25“ floppy disks and classics like “Bubble Bobble”, briefly touched on the whole “Age of Empire” series in LAN-parties with friends and then discovered the world of MMORPG, namely World of Warcraft. Which just released it´s latest addon, “Battle for Azeroth”, on August 14th. Now my raiding days are behind me, I just can´t keep…

Flora Mare Skin Energizer – Fleur de Sel

This blog post contains PR-samples and affiliate links. Please read disclaimer. Ah, France! The land of fromage, vin rouge and apparently best projection screen for skincare fantasies. Don´t you agree? French skincare is as much a myth as French food, and while I am a fan of both (a cheese plate is life!), I´d advise you to take the things said about them with a grain of salt. Probably a grain of Fleur de Sel de Camargue, to stay on topic.     So what if I tell you that…

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…
