A classic red lip – sharing my favorite red lipsticks…

….

Hi guys,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

I hope your first day back at work wasn´t to bad. I am still at home but have to go back tomorrow. Not too thrilled about it either.

Since I am kind of a lipstick addict and especially of the color red I wanted to share my favorite brands and hues with you over on the blog today.I really love wearing a red lip whether it is for work or for going out.

There almost isn´t an ocassion you can´t wear red and it is super versatile and looks great with most colors. Also a red lipstick is an absolute classic just think about Marylin Monroe or Taylor Swift. 

So these are my current favorites I am using over and over again:

MAC MAC Red // I have first seen this color on Rachel from Pink Peonies and ordered it immediately. Although it has a satin and not a matte finish I adore this color. This is a bright red with a slightly blueish udertone. I personally think a blue undertone never hurts cause it makes your teeth look wither that they are.

MAC Lady Danger // This has been my first ever MAC lipstick and it started my obsession. It is corally red with an orange undertone and a matte non glossy finish. Works best in the summer since the color is really bright but I have also worn it with several pieces in the same hue a few weeks ago. 

Sephora Cream Lip Stain in color 95 Electric Ruby // I got this one at the Sephora in Leipzig and used it on the same night and for the following days. Absolutely love the color. It definitely is a darker red but not as dark as burgundy. The formula is perfect. I lasts and lasts and lasts. The Sephora brand itself is really good. Got a few more pieces and they didn´t disappoint as well. Be sure to try one of their cream lip stains. The color range is awesome too. And for 12 Euro they are super affordable.

L`Oreal x Balmain in color Domination // I was so happy about the collaboration between L´Oréal and Balmain. In fact I wanted to have every lipstick of their small but the bold blue and sheer olive hue where a little too much for me and also the nude ones wheren´t as interesting as the others so I went with four colors I liked the most. And what can I say – my most used lipstick is the bright red. It is super matte and super pigmented and also consists of the famous L´Oréal lipstick formula.  

L`Oréal Color Riche in color 349 Paris Cherry // This one had been sitting a very long time in my drawer (only bought it because I am a sucker for all the pretty lipstick names out there) until I recognized what a beautiful color it is. It is a darker matte red shade. The formula is so soft and doesn´t dry out your lips at all and it also has the typical smell of the brand´s lipsticks I love so much. My most used red for the colder months (as seen on my lips in the pictures above).

L´Oréal Paris Infaillable Matte color 204 Red Actually // The first color of the Infalaible lip color series I ever got was a bright purple. I think it the color was called orchid or similar. Do you remember the purple lips trends about 4 years ago? Did you get hooked as well. I mean we found out that MAC Rebel existed and that wasn´t bad at all. So the third color of these tubes I have ever got was the red shade. It is a darker and high pigmented red. I absolutely love the hue and it stays on pretty long but the applicator is real crap. It is super fuzzy so you can´t draw a nice line. I am always using a liner before and disperse the color with a lip brush. Also you never know how much of the product is left in the tube. Anyways the red is just too beautiful so I don´t mind about the other two points.

Do you have any products you truly love and would buy and use over and over again. Be sure to tell I would love to know.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Leopard Print Sequin Skirt + all black accessories…

….

Hi guys and happy Sunday,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennenung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

I am back with another fashion post on the more festive side. I have posted so many sparkly and glamorous looks during Christmas time but there can´t be too much sparkle right ?! So I am going to share another gorgeous and festive look with you. How about this adorable leopard print sequin skirt I have found on the SheIn website. It is made very well and super sparkly, perfect to wear for my birthday dinner. If you want to find out more about on how to shop the SheIn online shop read my post from last week.

I have combined the sequin skirt with all black accessories but it would also be really pretty with a cream colored sweater or turtleneck and a bright red lip. The lipstick I am wearing in the picture is from L´Oréal Paris and the color is called Paris Cherry.

I hope you had a great weekend so far. We had been out for brunch yesterday at a local café called Weichmann´s and it was delicious. The waffles where super soft and tasteful. We are definitely going to eat there again.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Food Friday – My version of the Philadelphia Cheesesteak Sandwich

….

Happy Friday guys, 

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Post enthält Affiliate LInks-not sponsored)

I am finally getting back to my regular posting schedule. The holidays where crazy and wanted to cover so many Christmas themes. 

So for today´s recipe I rebuild a classic the way I like it most. The usual Piladelphia Cheesesteak Sandwich is made with another bread and some sauce and also red peppers. But I don´t lie red peppers at all.

Ingredients:

            – ciabatta bread
            – Provolone cheese
               – steak 
             – onions
              – green hot peppers

You can mix and match the ingredients however you liked but be sure to

– roast the onions

– melt the cheese

– roast the meat until medium

Enjoy your sandwich. It really is a delicious meal. All the flavours work together so great and the smoked note of the Provolone cheese completes all the flavors. 

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Happy Thursday guys,
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
are you still in vacation or are you already back to work? I have one week left and still so much I wanted to accomplish during my spare time. Not sure if I make it but I can definitely share this look with you today.
 
This is probably my most worn weekend look. Always a little different but the main pieces like a comfortable pair of leggings and an oversized cardigan to cover up my back stay. Also a denim button down shouldn´t be missed in your closet. For me this is an absolute statement piece almost like a white blouse since it is super versatile and can be dressed up and down in so many ways. 
 
I usually run a lot of errands on the weekends so I always carry a lot of stuff around with me. A big tote or shopper bag is the perfect companion. I got this beautiful studded blue shopper bag from Fiorelli and I love it. I have had several bags from the brand years ago but then they had a redesign and I wasn´t into them anymore but now they are coming back strong with fresh and beautiful handbags.
 
So now I am heading out for groceries and then I am trying out this recipe. Is is supposed to be delicious and I hope it turns out that way. 
 
Hopefully I am also going to switch my site to WordPress. We´ll see how that works later today. Stay tuned for any news. 
 
Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
