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…

Max Factor Lasting Performance Foundation – Time will tell

This blog post contains affiliate links. Please see disclaimer. Last time I visited my DM, I was gushing over the new display of LOV makeup they had put up. New eyeshadows, new blushes, new foundations. The excitement was real! But as always in life, if something new comes in, something old has to go. And sadly, LOV had replaced Max Factor. My current favorite drugstore brand.     Only time will tell if LOV. can excite me as much as Max Factor did (which I can still get, just not…

Inspired by … Jill Stuart Summer 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!

MaxFactor Creme Puff Blush – Are they a dupe?

A dupe for what you may ask? A drugstore dupe for the famous, but expensive Hourglass blushes of course! To answer that right away: I don’t know. I don’t own any Hourglass blushes, so how would I be able to tell? But before you click away, disappointed, I know someone who COULD tell. And to get her to do that, I need your help! So if you want to know how and what I think of the MaxFactor Creme Puff blush I own, keep reading.

Favorite Face of … October

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. Many of you will know by now that I am usually not wearing much makeup when working. But as I am home at the moment (read here why), I was able to go all out and enjoy fall makeup at its finest. A dark brown-purple smokey eye, paired with bold…

My substitute – Max Factor Masterpiece Colour Precision Eyeshadow in 03 “Coffee”

I don’t like coffee. Or, to be more precise: I think it tastes absolutely disgusting and makes me want to gag. It doesn’t matter how much milk there is in it. It doesn’t matter how much sugar was added. It doesn’t matter if it is part of Tiramisu. I just can’t stand it. Max Factor Masterpiece Colour Precision Eyeshadow in 03 “Coffee” When my husband brews himself a fresh cup early in the morning, or when my girlfriends order a giant cup of Latte after a day spend shopping, I…

A natural flush – My Blush Collection

As I mentioned before, I have a tendency to look like I am ill. Or have had way to little sleep (which is true most of the time). My Blush Collection   To stop people from making me sit down and have a glass of water, I rely heavily on the power of blush, both powder and cream. Again, this little overview is MAC-heavy, just because I genuinely love their products and bought a lot of them back in the days. The Neutrals If you would have asked me before…

Save some space with this beauty

Whenever I traveled by plane, fees for overpacking my suitcase were inevitable. Books were the one thing, heavy but absolutely necessary for holidays. As I am a fast reader, I usually took about 5-6 books for a two weeks getaway. And by books I mean a 1000 page historical novels or something like this. So before our 4 weeks road trip to Chile, Mr. Loca got me an iPad, and I have never traveled without it since. The other thing is skincare and makeup.  Just three outfits? No problem.  Two…
