New In Beauty April 2018: pixi, Caudalie and more

This blogpost contains affiliate links and *PR-Samples. Please read disclaimer.   Back when I first started getting into makeup, I would often raid my mothers stash. Apply her lipsticks, ruin her rouge, drench myself in her perfume – basically making a big mess. Now that I am grown up (and a blogger), things are usually the other way round.     She plays with my lipsticks, inherits my eye cream and enjoys the packages that arrive at my doorstep just as much as I do. But when I opened her…

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…

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,…

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,…

My French Skincare Haul – and a fashion video!

Sometimes a tiny shift in plans can bring up unwanted comedy. You see, when I planned my content for September, which was long before my summer holiday started mid-august, the last prerecorded video was an Empties one (here in case you missed it). And to go with the video, I wrote a whole post on how little I was buying, how sensible and mindful I was with my shopping, yada yada yada.     Originally I had planned to upload a holiday vlog next, but then I last minute decided…

Summer, sun and SPF – New Releases

Summer, sun and SPF. Anyone else as much into alliterations as I am? Probably not. But with my holiday in France coming up, sun-related alliterations are all I can think about. Beach, bikini and … Hm. Suggestions? Brazilian wax comes to mind, but that is just my to do list bothering me I guess.     Back to topic: Even though you should of course apply sunscreen all year round (Yes, mum!) new releases are usually a summer thing. And as I happen to have quite a few here on…

New in for Spring – Fashion and beauty haul

One thing that is very important in a relationship is sharing a passion and goals. And keeping my marriage a happy one is among my top priorities. My husband was thrilled when I announced that recently, but somehow his enthusiasm dwindled considerably when I made him sit down and watch lookbooks on You Tube.     All for the greater good, I might add. For the purpose of helping me film my latest haul, which, surprisingly, consists of fashion as well as beauty stuff.

Unboxing: EcoNaturals, Cult Beauty – Science and surprises

After having my baby boy in early March, I somehow lost track. Track of time, track of my chores, basically track of everything that wasn’t feeding or nappy changing. Which means I also lost track of the parcels arriving at my doorstep, even though I had been eagerly awaiting some of the things inside them. So when I finally emerged out of the fog surrounding the early days and realized that it was April already, I decided it was time to catch up. And given the decision to catch up…

New In March 2016 – I have been shopping

I know, I know. I have told you many times that my collection is overflowing, that I really need to cut back on buying new stuff and that I own more skincare than any sane person probably should.   But in my defense: I really needed to restock on some things, and I DO have another Empties video just around the corner, so… Oh well, I just did a little haul-ing.

New in – What I got in France

Many of you may know, I recently went for a (much needed) holiday in France. Not so many know that my parents have a holiday home there, so I visit quite regularly and tend to use the opportunity to stock up on beauty and makeup stuff I don’t get as easily back here in Germany. La vie en France This time around was no exception, so I thought I´d use the opportunity and share some old favorites as well as some new discoveries with you.
