Asambeauty Vitamin E Skin Smoothing Serum

This blogpost contains PR-samples and affiliate links. Please read disclaimer. Starting January, I took part in my very first Instagram challenge, the #abnewyearstashchallenge. Purpose of the challenge was to round up everything from a skincare category, both open and unopened, to share short reviews and, of course, take toll of how much product was actually hidden in those dusty drawers of yours. Safe to say, I learned a lot about myself (“Hi, my Name is Anne and I have too many acids“) and about other peoples skincare routines.    …

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…

Asambeauty Vitamin E Skin Smoothing 24 hour cream

This blog post contains PR-samples and affiliate links. Please see disclaimer. When it came to jewelry, I used to be silver only for many years. Not because it suited me best, but because wearing gold made me feel older than I actually was. In my mind golden rings and bracelets were reserved for, you know, adults. People that earned money in proper jobs and knew what they were talking about. If I wore gold, I felt like dressing up as someone I wasn´t, a girl pretending to be her mother.  …

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,…

pixi Glow Mist – Filling the gap

This article contains PR-samples and affiliate links. Please see disclaimer.   You are not going to like this, my fellow blogger Siobhán from Beautylymin said. And as she knows me and my preferences very well, I was inclined to believe her. I did however decide to still test the pixi Glow Mist. Being a blogger does come with certain responsibilities after all! Imagine how happy I was when I learned that the pixi Glow Mist, famous for giving you a glowy complexion after doing your makeup, was actually supposed to…

Tata Harper Nourishing Oil Cleanser – Just not the same

This blog post contains affiliate links. Please see disclaimer. We all have expectations when it comes to brands. They are triggered by marketing, packaging, maybe reviews we have seen online. And, quite often, by the experiences we have had before.     If the first product was a huge disappointment, we will approach others with caution. If the first product blew us away, we get all excited to try more.   So basically, if the first product is a hit, the brand has won. Right? Wrong.   Case in point?…

Marc Jacobs Remarcable Full Cover Foundation Concentrate

This blog post contains affiliate links. Please see disclaimer. I swear I am not obsessed with pores! But do you remember that one Episode of Sex and the City, shortly before Charlotte separates from her first husband? The one where she sits in front of the magnifying mirror and inspects her pores?     Because that is exactly what I felt like when I wore the Marc Jacobs Remarcable Full Coverage Foundation Concentrate. Why, you ask? Oh, I am going to tell you!

essence The False Lashes mascara extreme – That extra mile

This blog post contains affiliate links. Please see disclaimer.   A few weeks ago I watched a You Tube tutorial. Shocking news, I know, but do hear me out! The tutorial itself was nothing extraordinary, one of these you have playing in the background while doing boring chores like folding laundry. But she said something that actually made me pause, rewind and repeat.     She said, quote: “… going to just use mascara, as I was surprised to find out how many of you don’t wear false lashes on…

Best of Beauty 2017 – My makeup and skincare favorites

This post contains PR-samples and affiliate links. Please see disclaimer. I am not one to dwell in the past. Yes, the things that happen to us do shape and affect us, no denying that. But I do believe that it is my choice what defines me. On some occasions though, I immerse myself in times (long) gone, relive sensual experiences in my mind, remember scents, textures, pleasure…     Wait, that sounds like I am referring to a kinky paperback with a castle and someone in a ripped dress on the front.…

Ole Henriksen Sheer Transformation – Mind, body and soul

This blog post contains affiliate links. Please see disclaimer   Transforming yourself, be it body, mind or soul seems to be a necessity these days. And while I am all about personal development and life long learning, I think we have to remember every once in a while that not everything we are is a constant work in progress. That would take a lot of pressure out of our daily lifes and sometimes even help things to stay good instead of being transformed into something else simply for transformations sake.…
