I’m from Mugwort Face Mask | Doctors Review

Advertisement info: This blog post uses affiliate links. I received no money to write it. Please read disclaimer. I actually had to google the translation of Mugwort when I sat down to write this I’m from Mugwort Face Mask review. In Germany the herb is called Beifuß, and while it is not widely known for any beauty benefits, I do know it from cooking (at least in theory, I rarely cook, that is my husbands job) and I now know its many uses in and against witchcraft – don’t say…

dear Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask – Doctors Review | Doctor Anne

Advertisement info: This blog uses affiliate links. I received no money to write it. Please read disclaimer. I admit that I am no longer a regular user of face masks, so if I finish one AND repurchase, it has to be really good. Or, as is the case with the dear klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask, very good and convenient to use – I just don´t have time for annoying extra steps anymore.     The klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask actually already featured here on this channel,…

Elemis Peptide4 Plumping Pillow Facial

Advertisement information: I received this item as part of my paid work with QVC Beauty Germany, but this post was not part of the contract. This blog post uses affiliate links. Please read disclaimer. Fragrance in skincare? Controversial. Essential oils in skin care? Even more so. Yet here I am, reviewing the Elemis Peptide4 Plumping Pillow Facial. Which is, just in case you didn’t know yet, heavily fragranced and contains essential oils.     I am not going to discuss the matter of fragrance in skincare today though, just add…

The Inkey List Ceramide Night Treatment

Advertisement info: This blog post uses affiliate links. I received no money to write it. Please read disclaimer. Ceramides – I bet you have heard about them. More and more products like The Inkey List Ceramide Night Treatment are released, claiming to repair the skins barrier and thus improve moisture retention. And there is no doubt that Ceramides are indeed part of a healthy skin, and that their loss leads to problems. But seeing that there are several different types of Ceramides, and that they all are present at different…

pixi FortifEYE Eye Patches – Do you need them?

Advertisement info: This blog post contains PR-Samples (gifted items) and affiliate links. I received no money to write it. Please read disclaimer. The problem with testing skincare is that very often it is aimed at prevention. And how do you measure the wrinkles that might have appeared, but didn’t because of your cream? Or, in this case, because of the pixi FortifEYE Eye Patches? One thing you could do is apply something to one side of your face exclusively for an extended period of time and see if you can…

pixi Vitamin C Caviar Balm Review – Acquired taste

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: THIS BLOG POST USES AFFILIATE LINKS AND CONTAINS PR-SAMPLES (GIFTED ITEMS). I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE IT. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER. Do you like Caviar? I do, but I think it is an acquired taste, like wine and French Cheese, and I remembered it had been a while since i ate some when writing my pixi Vitamin C Caviar Balm review. Not that this one contains actual caviar, no, but some skincare lines do.     Caviar is said to have an antioxidant effect when used in creams,…

pixi T Zone Peel Off Mask Review – Maybe this time…

Advertisement info: This blog post contains PR-Samples (gifted items) and affiliate links. I received no money to write it. Please read disclaimer. One of the perks of running a beauty blog is being sent stuff to test. The worst part of running a beauty blog though is being sent stuff to test. Confused much? Hear me out. I will explain using the pixi T Zone Peel Off Mask as example.  I mean, everybody gets the “perks” part. New skincare arriving at your door step every month, what´s not to love?…

Peter Thomas Roth Rose Stem Cell Mask – Magic bullet

This blog post uses affiliate links. Please read disclaimer. In medicine, there is the term “magic bullet”. It refers to the ONE pill/treatment/procedure that will singlehandedly cure a severe illness. Once in a while something new comes along, shows promising results in the first studies, hopes get high… until time (and more research) shows, that it might be, indeed, a great addition to the existing procedures, but not the “Magic bullet” we secretly hoped for.     Sadly (shh, don´t tell my daughter) that is not the kind of magic…

Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask – Cucumber Man

This blogpost uses affiliate links. Please read disclaimer. One of the few ads from my youth that did stick with me was for cigarettes. It was after the Marlboro Man had ridden off into the eternal sun set and PR companies had realized that it was, indeed, time for a new take on manliness and smoking. So they introduced the Cucumber Man, a smart looking guy wearing yoghurt on his face and two slices of cucumber to cover the eyes. He did, of course, laugh and smoke and managed to…

Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Mask – Is this fall I smell?

This blog post contains affiliate links. Please read disclaimer. Is it too early to think about fall? Rhetorical question, of course. YES! IT IS! Leave me to my beach sunsets, my coconut scented sun cream and my “too hot to sleep so I´ll dance the night away” nights.     Not that I have many of those, mind you, but I could have, in a parallel universe where I am awake after 10 pm. Ah, back in the days… Where was I? Fall. Or at least the prospect of fall,…
