May Lindstrom Honey Mud – Victorian literature

This blog post contains affiliate links. Please read disclaimer. Do you read the Brontë sisters? I admit I have a weakness for Victorian literature, ever since I first started Jane Eyre on a rainy autumnal afternoon. Of course I wouldn’t want to actually live in this epoche, but books tend to skim over things like Womens Rights, health care and poverty and instead focus on haunted mansions, horses and unfulfilled, but fiery love.       And, especially with the Brontë sisters, on nature. Roses, the endless moor and storm…

pixi Glow O2 Oxygen mask – Ox and horn

This blog post contains *PR-Samples and affiliate links. Please see disclaimer.   In Germany there is a saying that indicates the impossibility of getting a reaction from someone. Roughly translated it means: “Like pinching an ox in the horn.” I often think about this saying when I try to get a reaction from my husband regarding new lipsticks, nail polish choices or truly anything makeup related. In fact I was sure that no matter what I´d do, he´d always look at me and say: “Whatever.”     Turns out I…

klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E mask – Summer Sins

Nothing beats a week or two away from the office, better yet away from home. Or, at best, out of the country, at the sea side, enjoying sand, sun and surf. Have I told you that I did surf, many years ago, on the Australian shore? Not riding big waves surf though, more desperately trying to stay above the water surf, but still. I felt like a real surfer chick back then, sun burnt nose and salty hair included.     If I happened to have a sun burnt nose…

The Body Shop Superfood face masks – Good enough to eat?

If you did watch my blog from August, you´ll know that I visited The Body Shop for the launch of the new Superfood Face masks. And of course I had to pick up one. Or two. Okay. Make it three. And samples of the remaining ones, so I can say I have tried every new face mask they launched. All in the name of science, of course.     The main thing I noticed upfront is that all of them smell and look delicious. I wouldn´t recommend eating them though,…

Face masks – All you need to know

When I asked in my recent videos which topic you would want to hear more about, sheet masks were highly requested. But as sheet masks on their own are not that big of a topic, I decided to film a video about face masks in general, with a special emphasis on sheet masks. Oh, and with bloopers.

Glam Glow Supermud Clearing Treatment – Pickup lines

Back in the days when I was still going out, I had my fair share of bad pickup lines. You see, being blonde, tall and obviously loving makeup, I attracted a certain kind of men. Men that usually didn’t expect me to have more interest in politics than handbags. Men that thought: “Hello Sexy!” was actually a great way to start a conversation. (Disclaimer: It isn’t!)     Well, these days are long gone. If I was to go out right now, I would be much more likely offered a chair…

Expectation versus reality – The Body Shop Drops of Youth Bouncy Sleeping Mask

Have you ever imagined what jumping out of the plane window right into the big fluffy clouds would feel like? I don´t want to talk reality here. We all know it would be wet, cold and uncomfortable, mainly because you´d start falling at maximum speed toward the ground immediately. Should have grabbed that parachute, girl! I want to talk expectations! Sinking into comforting, pillow like shapes, bouncing around laughing while the sun warms you from above. Somehow that picture came to my mind when I read about The Body Shop…

Sometimes I am afraid of myself – Sheet masks

I, for one, can’t watch scary movies. And I am not talking the hardcore ones. Literally anything will leave me scared for weeks. I stopped watching “Supernatural” after the second episode because I just couldn’t take it. Even reading about these movies gives me nightmares. And just in case you wondered: I am 36. Not 12. I am smiling beneath the mask, promise! So I have to be extra careful when using one of my Singapore sheet masks, because it may or may not have happened that the surprising sight…
