New In Beauty – NEWA, Alpha-H, The Ordinary, Maysama and more

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: SOME PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PR (GIFTED) AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   How many skincare devices are too many? is what I asked at the beginning of March over on Insta after unboxing two new parcels I had received. As you are my people, the answers were unanimously “there is no such thing as too many skincare devices”, which is why I don’t feel bad presenting you the two new things in my…

New in Beauty – Currentbody, Catrice, The Ordinary and Lancome

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: SOME PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PR (GIFTED) AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   When I started writing this post, I thought it wouldn’t be as short as the one last month that featured only two products, but would be makeup exclusive. I had replaced some drugstore favorites from Maybelline and Catrice, nothing too exciting, but hadn’t planned on getting new skin or hair care stuff. Well, that was before I heard that the Currentbody…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER Todays update on everything that found it’s way into my stash is a good mixture between old favorites and new to me brands and also some makeup, because for the first time in literally years, I purchased an eyeshadow palette. But first things first, skincare! The two brands you have heard me talk about a million times already are of course Murad…

New In skincare: Vegreen, L’Oréal, MAC and Catrice

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: SOME PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PR (GIFTED) AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   Another month that I am proud to report that I didn’t acquire much new stuff – maybe a weird introduction for a New In post, but I have so much stuff I am still not done testing the things I acquired last October, getting a lot more would not only be wasteful, but also stress me out. I really don’t want…

Taking out the trash 17 – May Empties

This blog post contains PR-Samples and affiliate links. Please see disclaimer. One in, two out, that was the rule I once tried to establish. And while I think I did pretty good in terms of skincare… No, seriously! I realized I didn’t have any cleansers in my back up drawers just the other day, something that I considered impossible a year ago.     So while I think I did pretty good in terms of skincare, I still can´t seem to go through my makeup. I throw out the odd…

Foundation Review Catrice 24 h Made to Stay Makeup

This blog post may contain affiliate links. Please read disclaimer. The most efficient way to finish foundation? Apart from wearing it consistently, of course? Dropping the glass bottle on the bathroom tiles. And a great way to test the waterproof claims, too. How do I know that? Well, I did just that, a few weeks ago, when my bottle of Catrice 24 h Made to Stay makeup shattered on the tiles.     Just to be crystal clear: This is not the way I will be testing my foundations from…

New In Beauty February 2018

This blogpost contains *PR-samples and affiliate links. Please see disclaimer February is a weird month for me. On one hand it is filled with birthday celebrations (read here), on the other hand it is a transitional month at it´s worst. Lots of people complained about January dragging on, but at least January is proper winter! I get comfort from hot chocolate, warm blankets and dark lips, all the things that make winter worthwile. Once February arrives though, I get spring fever.     I want warm sun on my face,…

Face of Filming – My foundation and brow routine.

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.

July 2016 Favorites

As July is almost over, it is time for another favorites post. With the upcoming move (it is actually moving day today!) and the incredible heatwave we had, makeup had to be quick and minimal. Not that I am complaining about the heat, not in the slightest. I feel a lot more energetic and happy when the sun is out, even though our current flat with the big window fronts was probably not the best place to be throughout the day.     As far as skincare is concerned, I…
