The Ordinary Coverage Foundation – Confusion

This blogpost uses affiliate links. Please read disclaimer. While I was trying to write this introduction, I got sucked in to the black hole that is “The Ordinary Drama” time lines. As much as I claim I don´t care for drama online (and believe me, I don´t) it seems like once you start reading, you simply can´t stop. So much has happened since I shared my initial thoughts here, and it leaves me incredibly confused.     So how do I proceed? I guess I will continue with what I do best and…

LLL Vlogs 39 – Las Fallas

From the snowy mountains right to Las Fallas, the spring festival of Valencia and the Valencia area. Sounds glamorous? Oh yes! If only I hadn’t caught my sons stomach bug and spend one of the two days we had in the beautiful city hugging the hotel room toilet. TMI? Sorry!     Oh well, kids stay with you even if you leave them at home with the grandparents, I guess. It was a blast nonetheless, and I managed to capture quite a bit of the festivities on camera. Some of the…

LLL Vlogs 36 – Getting my hair done

I really have no explanation why it always takes me so long book an appointment to get my hair done. I mean, the experience is nothing but pleasant! Even if you leave the whole “New hair, beautiful me” – thing aside, what is not to love?     Sitting in a chair with some tea and a book for more than two hours without getting up to a) wipe up spilled milk or b) wipe a bottom or c) wipe away tears due to spilled milk or wiping a bottom…

The Birthday Tag – LLL Vlogs 34

Do birthdays in your family also come in multiples? We have seven  to celebrate from February 7th to March 12th, then months with only a few sprinkled in, and then again four within three weeks time starting October. Needless to say that birthdays and party planning are keeping me occupied right now. Mine has come and gone, with no celebration due to the fact that I was a) sick and b) turning 39, which didn’t feel like a huge milestone.     Next up is my daughters, she will be…

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,…

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!

New Years Resolutions 2018

I have stated it numerous times before: I do not make resolutions, goals or whatever you will call them on New Years Eve. In fact I don’t make resolutions. Ever. And I don’t actively decide on goals. I am a Type A personality. Goals are my living, breathing existence.     Which confused Mr. Loca when he recently asked for my blogging strategy and got “Well, I don’t know… I guess it is just fun.” as an answer. After a moment of disbelief he started to laugh at me and,…

Inspired by Dior Precious Rocks Holiday 2017

This blog post contains PR-Samples and affiliate links. Please see disclaimer. 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! I really wanted to get started on holiday makeup, mainly because every year I toy with the idea to throw a sophisticated Christmas party for friends and coworkers.     The idea inevitably gets…

Indian Summer and some Guerlain goodies

They say anticipation is sometimes better than the actual event. I find that to be especially true regarding anything weather dependent. How many times have you looked forward to summer barbecues outside and ended up inside because of hail and storm? How many times have you dreamt about snow ball fights in a winter wonderland only to shuffle through muddy pools in constant rain?     I know I have been disappointed numerous times, so when Flanconi (an online beauty store) reached out to me and asked for an Indian…

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…
