Taking out the trash 15 – My December 2017 Empties

This blog post contains PR-Samples and affiliate links. Please see disclaimer.   Did you know that on public holidays as well as on every Sunday, stores are closed in Germany? No quickly popping into town to get some food, no aimlessly wandering around looking for cute things to buy. A public holiday (or every Sunday) is a holiday for everyone. Even the people working in retail.That may change, no matter how you personally feel about it, but at the moment it is my reality.     And every year I…

Taking out the trash VI – June 2016 Empties

Empties and watermelon – is there anything else you need for a chilled summer evening? I don’t think so. This months version features a lot of Antipodes products, which brings back memories of our road trip to New Zealand. And of course turns up the ancient question: Why does everything always have to run out at the same time?

May 2016 Favorites

Before my Favorites-break I used to do “Favorite Face of..” posts, where I showed you my most worn makeup in the form of a miniature tutorial. But looking back now, only a few things that I used really were true favorites. Many of the things (like concealers or mascara) just got applied for the sake of finishing them. And on top of that my everyday makeup isn’t probably something you really want to see, as it is a little repetitive over time.     So I decided to go for…

My evening skincare routine – Winter 2016

You know, it sometimes takes some time to actually convince myself to face the camera completely without makeup, but as my appearance improves during the course of the video, I relax. Now doing it the other way round, starting with a full face of makeup and turning myself into a concealer-less, scrubbed face person with oil all over was strange, to say the least.   Aktivieren Sie JavaScript um das Video zu sehen.https://youtu.be/qHJRiGJRNlI   But you asked for it and here it is: My evening skincare routine.

Childhood memories – Antipodes Joyous Protein-Rich Night Replenish Serum

One of my most cherished childhood memories is going into the woods with my sisters and picking berries. The berries, the scent of moss and the warmth of summer in my mind all come together to form the perfect picture of a family day, of seemingly endless summers and of being a wild and free child. Antipodes Joyous Protein-Rich Night Replenish Serum Oddly enough I don’t think it ever happened. I mean, we went picking berries and we went to the woods, but the exact memory that comes up in…

What is the color of Meh? – Antipodes Aura Manuka Honey Mask

They say that everyone has an aura surrounding its body. Some people are even able to see it or feel it. The colors are said to give you information about the person itself and about ones current state of mind. Antipodes Aura Manuka Honey Treatment Mask Now I cant see these colors, nor feel them, and I never had the urge to have someone explore my aura before. But after buying a product hyped all over YouTube and using it for a couple of times, I couldn’t help but wonder…

The answer to your prayers? – Antipodes Hosanna H2O Intensive Skin Plumping Serum

I like to introduce the products I review with a little story. Sharing some memories or something new I learned with you that somehow is related to the product I am talking about feels more like girl´s talk and less like an advertisement. But some of the products leave me clueless. I knew I wanted to tell you about Antipodes Hosanna H2O Intensive Skin-Plumping Serum. Now how to start? And what on earth does Hosanna really mean? Antipodes Hosanna H2O Intensive Skin-Plumping Serum Of course, I turned to Wikipedia. Hosanna…

Feeling like a goddess – Antipodes Divine Face Oil

I have to admit, as much as I like the “Channel your inner goddess”-spirit, I find it hard to establish in my everyday life. Somewhere between the continuous lack of sleep, changing diapers and the fact that I spend most of my day dressed in a two piece that would easily pass as blue pyjama (but isn’t nearly as comfortable of course), I lost my inner deity. Antipodes Divine Face Oil Now there are several ways to reconnect with your spiritual self, and I by no means want to touch…

The exception from the rule – Collective Haul

I have mentioned several times before, I put myself on a spending ban when the Little Bean was born. That was how I imagined it to be. The reasons were various: I own so much makeup, I could probably go for two years straight without the need to buy something new. I have a bathroom cabinet dedicated to unused skincare I really wanted to try. I wanted to get use out of the products I really love, instead of hoarding them until they were far beyond expiration date and went…
