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.…

Fall Favorites 2017 – Being unique

This blog post contains PR-Samples and affiliate links. Please see disclaimer.   Are we ever as unique as we like to think? Most of us, especially those that have any kind of creative outlet online, like to think that their content is fresh and special and easily distinguable from others.

And then, one day, we take a step back and realize we are doing what everyone around…

My Summer Essentials

I bet you are tired of me babbling on and on about my holiday already. But I can´t help it, I am excited. Only a few days from now I will be flaunting my legs under the sun of France, listening to the waves crashing on the shore and sipping on a cold drink. At least this is what I hope for. Holidays with kids have a tendency to not go like planned.     But at least I want to be prepared. Not in the sport and diet kind…

Guerlain Terracotta Collection 2017

I have been on a winning spree lately. Not in life, I am way too superstitious to jinx myself by saying that I was winning at life. No, makeup wise. And the actual winning as in winning a giveaway.     After saying that I will of course no longer win anything ever again, but that is fine by me. Because last month I happened to win quite a few bits from the Guerlain Terracotta Collection 2017. And like any good blogger would have done, my first thought was to…

Inspired by Guerlain Les Tendres Collection Spring 2015

If you are unfamiliar with the Inspired by… series, you can click here for more information. Short story even shorter, I try to recreate the makeup a model wears in the ad of a seasonal collection with the makeup I already own. And even though I know January is technically still winter, I went for a spring collection this month, to get us in the mood for warmer weather. Guerlain Les Tendres Collection Spring 2015 I just loved the soft smokey grey eye with the peach cheeks and lips. So…
