LLL Vlogs 41 – Spring cleaning (with false lashes)

There is an increased amount of cleaning videos showing up in my You Tube suggestions, and I have no clue why. It can’t be based on my watch history. It can’t be based on Mr. Locas watch history either. He is really bad at remembering to switch profiles on our AppleTV, which is the reason that my feed shows as many “SUV tested in the dunes of Namibia” videos as it contains ASOS hauls, but cleaning videos surely aren’t his thing.     To be honest, I really have no…

My quick and easy No Makeup Makeup Look

I wear makeup most days. Even if I am staying at home, I grab a few bits to make me look more put together. Quite frankly, it is not only about the looks. It is more because I have so much stuff that I really want to use, yet just one face and so little time in the mornings.     Spending a day without any makeup would be a lost day in terms of playing with products! There are days though that I just want to look awake, healthy…

New In Beauty March 2018 – The Ordinary, pixi and more

This blog post contains PR-Samples and affiliate links. Please see disclaimer.   After I returned from Galtür (read more about it here), I had a lovely package waiting for me. Inside was makeup, sparkly and shiny and new. Sounds good, I hear you say. No. Better: Sounds good, I imagine you think right now.       Technically I cannot hear you, and I am not sure if anyone except me is talking to the computer screen. Mental note: Go out more! Back to topic: Sounds good, but I knew…

Foundation Review L´Oréal Perfect Match Foundation

This blog post contains affiliate links. Please read disclaimer. You know I film my videos in advance sometimes. Way in advance, this time. I actually filmed it on February 3rd, which I remember so clearly because it was the day I got sick. See, despite having kids I don´t often catch their bugs, but that time it hit me hard and I was out for almost a week. Right now I am feeling fine and pity my past self for looks and voice, so no need for sympathy coming from…

Inspired by Chanel Spring Summer Neapolis Collection 2018

This blog post contains *PR-samples and affiliate links. Please see disclaimer. Inspired by is a series I started to convince me that I did not need to rush out and buy lots of new products to recreate a certain makeup look, but that I´d manage to recreate something it by shopping my stash.     I did a lot of those posts over the last years, some turned out better, some turned out horrendous, but most of them were fun. My promo picture of choice this month, one from the Chanel Spring/Summer Collection…

New In Beauty February 2018

This blogpost contains *PR-samples and affiliate links. Please see disclaimer February is a weird month for me. On one hand it is filled with birthday celebrations (read here), on the other hand it is a transitional month at it´s worst. Lots of people complained about January dragging on, but at least January is proper winter! I get comfort from hot chocolate, warm blankets and dark lips, all the things that make winter worthwile. Once February arrives though, I get spring fever.     I want warm sun on my face,…

Everyday Spring Makeup tutorial – Peachy, pink and bronze

This blog post contains PR-Samples and affiliate links. Please see disclaimer. One of the many reasons I don’t celebrate Valentine´s Day is that it is just a week after my birthday. And, to put it nicely, I am not always easy to please. Not that I demand a lot of presents or look at the money spend on me, but I do expect a gift to be carefully chosen and to come with a story that explains why this, and only this, was the thing my better half picked up…

essence longlasting lipliner – What the heart wants

The heart wants, what it wants. How often have you heard this saying? I have heard it a lot throughout the years, and increasingly more often to justify an obsession with luxury brands. And while I agree that you sometimes really have to follow your heart…     Wait. This somehow sounds like a Valentines Day post. I swear, this is not intentional, I don’t even DO Valentines Day! I guess the abundance of pink hearts must have fogged my brain. Back on track: There are occasions where following your…

Taking out the trash 16 – Empties February 2018

This blogpost contains PR-samples and affiliate links. Please read disclaimer. When I was filming this video, I was pretty content with myself. Not only did I like the way my hair looked – call me vain, but these things can make or break a day -, but I was satisfied with having yet another batch of products finished to show you. After starting to make a conscious effort to actually finish products and not let the last bit go to waste while saving it for a special day, I felt…

New In Beauty January 2018 – pixi skincare and makeup

This blog post contains PR-samples and affiliate links. Please read disclaimer. I know I go on and on about how I am not into hearts and glitter and unicorns. I don´t even really like the color pink. But sometimes something comes along that you technically shouldn´t enjoy based on experience, but still you do.     That happened to me when this gorgeous pixi box arrived at my door step. And no, I didn´t just enjoy it because I got send it for free! Not going to lie, that surely helps,…
