Skincare science and quick reviews
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.

If you have been around for a while now, you may have gotten used to my “Favorite Face of…” series. Of course I cant tell whether you are bored out of your mind or looking forward to my monthly makeup ramble, but I have been meaning to keep it up. Now I have started this month with a yearly favorites, so the “Favorite Face of…” is a little late and probably does no longer count as “December Favorites”, which is why I named it “Tutorial” for the upload on…
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 choice was requested by my favorite Italian blogger Carol in a page, who suggested I´d do this one because “I already had the hair” (original quote). Now my hair may have a slight resemblance, but I did lack the wind machine, blue…
Many of my German readers can relate: You watch You Tube videos, you read blogs, and you can´t help but bemoan the fact that Target, Boots (and Sephora!) are way out of reach. Now let’s not forget that we do have our own drugstore, stocked with brands people in the States will never lay hands on. But are they a worthy competitor? Well, when one of my favorite bloggers published a Boots only makeup tutorial (Watch here) right the next day after I received some pieces of the “I love my…

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! Chanel Rouge Noir Absolument 2015 Collection This time the Chanel Rouge Noir Absolument 2015 ad had tickled my fancy. Such a pretty and glamorous makeup! The purple shadow, the glossy lip, the dark nails and the perfect matte skin. I can totally see me wearing this…
It is no secret that I love red lips. I recently tried to do a roundup for a “Collection” post on all the reds I owned, but (don’t judge!) there was just no way I could have fit them all on one picture. So two things happened: I put myself on a red lip-whatever spending ban. No exceptions this time. I will apply a strict “Two out, One in”-rule, even though it will hurt. L to R: Astor “VaVaVoum”, Revlon “Striking”, P2 “Burning Red”, Clinique “Mega Melon” And I decided…
To me, there is nothing that says: “I am a sophisticated grown up woman that knows how to handle her life” quite like perfectly done nails in a dark color. Sadly this is a goal I haven’t met yet. At first, I was intimidated by the dark colors. They were so noticeable, looked like you had actually painted your nails! Quite unlike the sheer pinks or barely there glitters you get as a freebie when buying Wendy. I case you wondered, Wendy is a magazine about horses, aimed at twelve…
