Caudalie Premier Cru Serum – Motivation

Motivation can come from different sources. Like, you motivate yourself because you really want something. Or you are motivated by something external, like the bonus you´ll get if your work turns out superior.     And sometimes you are motivated by another person. Your wife, for example. Like it happened in the case of developing the Caudalie Premier Cru Serum. Dr. David Sinclair (Harvard) was approached by Caudalie with a research question and almost declined the offer. Almost. Until his wife said: “Oh, Caudalie? I use a lot of their stuff.”…

New In Beauty April 2018: pixi, Caudalie and more

This blogpost contains affiliate links and *PR-Samples. Please read disclaimer.   Back when I first started getting into makeup, I would often raid my mothers stash. Apply her lipsticks, ruin her rouge, drench myself in her perfume – basically making a big mess. Now that I am grown up (and a blogger), things are usually the other way round.     She plays with my lipsticks, inherits my eye cream and enjoys the packages that arrive at my doorstep just as much as I do. But when I opened her…

Best of Beauty 2017 – My makeup and skincare favorites

This post contains PR-samples and affiliate links. Please see disclaimer. I am not one to dwell in the past. Yes, the things that happen to us do shape and affect us, no denying that. But I do believe that it is my choice what defines me. On some occasions though, I immerse myself in times (long) gone, relive sensual experiences in my mind, remember scents, textures, pleasure…     Wait, that sounds like I am referring to a kinky paperback with a castle and someone in a ripped dress on the front.…

Caudalie Grape Water – Three times a charm

If you have been around for a while, you may remember my utter disappointment after trying a few Caudalie products. Another overhyped French brand I thought to myself, loved for being French and their Instagram worthy floral prints. Especially the “cult favorite”, the infamous Beauty Elixier (Read my review here) made me almost loose interest completely. But the constant appearance all over the blogosphere and the fact that you can’t do one step when on holiday in France without having it shoved into your face made me weak.    …

Taking out the trash VII – July 2016 Empties

After filming this months empties video I realized that I seem to have separation anxiety when it comes to lip products. I mean, seriously, a six year old lipgloss? That is gross!     But no longer, four makeup items had to go, and I did finish some skincare as well. So without further ado, my July 2016 Empties, along with mini reviews and, of course, bloopers at the end!

Caudalie – Somehow I just don’t get it

There are many well-known and, dare I say, hyped brands out there that I have been meaning to try for a while now. I fall for anything that gets a lot of attention on the blogs quite easily and have a obscenely long “wish list” on my Pinterest featuring products that most likely cost more than my annual salary when added up. Every once in a while I will take the plunge and get some stuff to see for myself what all the fuzz is about. And every once in a…

My morning skin care routine – Winter 2016

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
