L´Oréal Super Liner Blackbuster – Practice makes perfect

Practice makes perfect, that is true for everything in life, makeup included. But some things are harder to practice than others. Take liquid liner for example. It is an obvious black line on your face. So if the practice isn´t there already, but you still need to leave the house that day, you are in a difficult situation. You could of course hide for a few days and draw a line over and over again. But that would be kind of excessive don´t you think? It does work though. Let´s…

Seasonal Makeup Challenge – Summer 2016

In case you missed the Spring Edition, here is the link to the post explaining what the Seasonal Makeup Challenge is all about.     For the rest of us, the rules as a quick reminder: The rules „At the beginning of a season (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall) I will choose some pieces of makeup from my stash and post them here. By the end of that season I shall post how well (or not) I’ve done using them up, and propose new pieces for the following season.“ (The Polished…

May 2016 Favorites

Before my Favorites-break I used to do “Favorite Face of..” posts, where I showed you my most worn makeup in the form of a miniature tutorial. But looking back now, only a few things that I used really were true favorites. Many of the things (like concealers or mascara) just got applied for the sake of finishing them. And on top of that my everyday makeup isn’t probably something you really want to see, as it is a little repetitive over time.     So I decided to go for…

Taking out the trash IV – April 2016 Empties

Again I have been collecting my empty skincare containers and the few bits of makeup that are actually not going to be used anymore and threw all in for a video.   Go get yourself a cup of tea, as it is a long one, but you will be rewarded with mini-reviews and a whole lot of dirty packaging.

Inspired by … Dior Glowing Gardens Spring 2016

If you are not familiar with the “Inspired by…” series, click here for an explanation. But short story even shorter, each month I choose a seasonal ad and try to recreate the models look with colors I already own. Dressing up and awkward posing included!   This months installment is the Dior Glowing Gardens Collection, which stood out to me due to the fact that the model was wearing yellow eyeshadow, paired with purple. To be honest, I didn’t own a yellow eyeshadow and don’t think it is a color…

Favorite Face of… January 2016

If you are not familiar with the “Favorite Face of …” series, click here for a little introduction. Short story even shorter, it is the makeup that I wore most during that month, featuring the favorite (as in most used) makeup products. Aktivieren Sie JavaScript um das Video zu sehen.https://youtu.be/hcK6PxRyczo   Just like last month I decided to not only list all the products I reached for, but film a quick tutorial to show you the look my half-asleep self managed to create with them.

Taking out the trash III

Time to throw away my empties once again this year. And because I don’t believe in waiting for New Years Eve to start something new, I figured that would be the perfect opportunity to film my first ever YouTube video! Aktivieren Sie JavaScript um das Video zu sehen.https://youtu.be/_4v4WiImIiA   So if you want to see me “ahm” and “äh”, struggle for words and get sad about Body Butter, click play or watch it here on YouTube.

As frivolous as it gets these days – L´Oréal Super Liner in Extra Black Gloss

I still remember the first time I went to see a Burlesque Show. It was in Hamburg, famous for his Red-Light-District, and I was attending a congress with Mr. Loca. We only had been going steady for two months, and were still getting used to each others quirks, so sharing a hotel room and spending the whole four days together was quite a thing. To keep us busy (apart from the congress of course, which we skipped for sleeping in and eating out quite a bit), we had decided to…

L’Oréal Voluminous Butterfly mascara – Creepy names

Advertisement info: This blog post uses affiliate links. Please read disclaimer. So, what kind of lashes do you expect on a butterfly? I think, when naming their mascara L’Oréal Voluminous Butterfly Mascara, they had lashes like a butterflies wing in mind. But seriously, am I the only one thinking about butterfly legs, black and thin and, well, insectoid?     In case you are wondering what the heck I am talking about, the L’Oréal Paris False Lash Flutter Mascara (with cocoon fibers and a butterfly brush) is called “Voluminous Butterfly…
