I have never been much out in the sun especially not since I turned 25 or so. I have avoided direct sun and sunburns like the plague and only went out early in the morning or late in the evening hiding in the shadow like a vampire. Also I never get a tan. I turn red and then go back to pale. There is no point in all the sweating, the burning and afterwards shedding. Sunburn is proven to trigger skin cancer. Sunburns as a child are even worse. The risk rises up to 50 %. This is why SPF on your skin is so important. 

So I am not a doctor and this is no medical advice (always ask your health care provider) simply what I have found out over the years. 

– no sunlotion for babies under 6 months cause the ingredients are too much for sensitive baby skin so shadow it is

– always reapply after swimming

– sunlotion combined with SPF swim clothing is even better 

– no sunbathing or staying in the sun all day for children

– a hat is very important 

– SPF 50 is perfect for children but everything is better than nothing

– if possible always use mineral sunlotion cause it has way less harmful substances wich can possible cause problems or illnesses later in life

 

SPF Products we use

I am a huge fan of the Hawaian Tropic sun lotions. The smell just puts me into vacation mood every time I use it and the glow it gives your skin is just amazing. I have also gotten the After Sun Lotion which cools down your skin in case of a sunburn. I always get the SPF 50 in the lotion. 

Another cool thing I have tried out this year is the Hawaian Tropic face powder. It has SPF 30 and is super easy to wear over your foundation.

Supergoop BB Creme – Very lightweight, high SPF, light coverage, perfect for a pool day, a little to glowy for me as I like a matte teint

Garnier Face Mist – did not like it at all, tried several times but it leaves little white spots on my face cause it doesn´t dry even

After seeing it everywhere I finally caved and got the viral amazon make-up bag. I am a sucker for make-up bags and am always on the hunt for the perfect one which means I have gathered a lot throughout the years but this one is pretty perfect. 

I took it to Lake Constance and the Europa Park with me and I didn´t bother unpacking it cause it holds everyhting and is just perfect. I decided to just keep my stuff in there cause it is now the place I can find everything I need on a daily basis and it also helps me get ready faster.

The viral amazon make-up bag is available in tons of colors and often on sale. 

Also since I am already sharing some of my make-up products in the pics I wanted to link the current items I have been using for you. A huge part of these are tried and true favorites I am buying over and over again plus a few new additions I have tried recently and liked so I am keeping them in there.

NYX Butter Gloss vs. Soft Matte Lip Creme…

….

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

I love a colored lip for every day of the year and on some days I stay at home and have nowhere to go so a gloss is totally enough. I have loved and used the NYX Butter Glosses for years and recently discovered the Soft Matte Lip Creme. It is a little different than a gloss, more like a stain but not at all permanent.

So let´s have a closer look.

There are several things I cherish in a lip gloss I am looking for and I have to admit I have found a lot of what I liked.

Butter Gloss

Pigmentation – It is a pretty sheer gloss but that´s what I like about cause I often times wear it over a lipstick.

Durability – I would say it does not last very good. The lighter colors are gone pretty quick if you are eating and drinking but I do not mind re-applying it a few times during the day.

Feel – It is a little sticky at first but settles very quick. I am super happy about that cause I can´t for life stand a sticky gloss.

Price – 6, 99 Euro

For the price it is totally fine and there are so many shades available. It works amazing as finish over a lipstick and also alone if you like to have a shimmer with a hint of color on your lips. 

Soft Matte Lip Creme

Pigmentation – The pigmentation is way higher than the gloss. The Lip Creme is very soft to apply and leaves a velvety feel on your lips. It dries up matte very quick without drying out the lips. 

Durability – For the price and also the fact that it is a lip creme it holds up quite great.

Feel – It is super soft on the lips and also very lightweight. You will not feel it at all after applying.

Price – 7,45 Euro

In conclusion I really love all of my NYX glosses (and also lipsticks) and probably going to grow my collection. The Butter Glosses are the perfect toned down everyday glosses and the Soft Matte Lip Cremes will work great on ocassions where you need more color.

Monthly Five – Amazon Beauty and Make-Up Products #2…

….

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

Revlon Professional Equave Detangling Conditioner // This one has become my go-to leave in conditioner. It works within seconds and makes your hair super easy to comb. Especially great if you have wavy hair or loosing a lot at the moment due to postpartum hair loss like me.

Physician´s Formula Primer // I tried this one because it has great reviews and I am on the lookout for another primer I would love but this one isn´t it. The smell is amazing and it is creamy and super easy to apply but it is not working for me. The pores seems to appear smaller or smoother but it doesn´t help my skin to stay matte at all. It gets shiny within hours after applying and I do not like a glowing / sweating look on my face. The Benefit Poreless primer is still my number one.

Emeda False Lashes // I bought this whole 10 pair pack of lashes for 10 Euro from amazon and was very impressed with the quality. The silicone band is clear and soft just how I like it. The ends stick out a little but you can cut them easily on both sides and then you have a perfect pair of false lashes. The brand offers different styles but I think I am going to stick with these. They are the perfect everyday piece for me.

CeraVe Face Wash // Was on the hunt for a new face wash and have seen this in some other bloggers cart so I wanted to give it a try. I was a little intimidated by the price first but to be honest it is huge and I now have it for about a year and there is still plenty left. It is designed for oily skin and to remove tallow and dead skin cells. For me it works great. Doesn´t smell bad and the most important thing – it isn´t drying out my skin. Cause if there is one thing I hate it is itchy skin!!

Mario Badescu Drying Lotion // The hyped to the sky magical drying lotion. What other can I say about it than that it really helps. It does not make your pimple or acne zyst magically disapear but in my opinion it speeds up the process and shortens it about 2 or 3 days.
