FYI: I prepared this blog post before our baby girl arrived so there would still be fresh content on the blog while I am taking a break from blogging. That’s why you’ll still see me pregnant or referencing my pregnancy in some upcoming blog posts!
If you have been a longtime reader you know how much I love beauty products especially lipsticks. No one has probably seen me going outside with no color on my lips ever. I have a huge spectrum of different colors but my most worn and loved colors are all shades of orange and for this blog post selected pink hues.
I am sharing a variety of lipsticks and also lip stains in this blog post. All the color information are under the picture the lipstick is presented above. Pink shades are awesome for Spring and Summer. A pink color on your lips looks super fresh and adds that wanted pop of color after a dreary and gloomy long winter right onto your lips.
Pink in general fits almost any skin tone. If you want to make sure stay on the cooler side of pink as this fits most and also makes your teeth look whiter. So you win on both sides.
All the shades I have been sharing are longtime favorites of mine and I can only recommend them. They range between 6 and 22 Euros and are all still available.

don´t we all have these special prodcuts we love, use over and over again and also have as a back-up in case they brake or are empty. I am talking about our holy grail make-up products. I have a bunch I used for years and hardly ever swap because once I have found a tried and true favorite which isn´t easy and takes a long time I stick to it.
My Holy Grail Make-Up Products
Benefit Hoola Bronzer // This has been my go-to bronzer for what feels like forever. I first started with the mini version and it lasted me for about three years which has been a few months ago so I got the normal sized version. It is a little pricey but it really lasts a long long time so this totally justifies the price point. You can also use it as an eyeshadow base.
Benefit Porefessional Primer // I have tested a bunch of different primer throughout the years and no one ever created such a smooth and even surface to put my make-up on. A little goes a long way for this product. I really liked it and already purchases it again. The only downside is when you are using to much of the product it shows off very quickly because it starts to crumble.
essence Lash Princess Mascara // The cheapest mascara I have ever tried/used but it is perfect. The black is very deep, the price is under 3 Euro which is unbelievable and the brush is perfect to apply your mascara whithout spreading or smudging the color for both the upper and lower lash line.
MAC Prep + Prime Lip Primer // Also got this one for my wedding as it had great reviews and ended up using it for years now. It is the best base if you are battling dry lips and want to wear dark or matte lipsticks. It evens out your lips and also hydrates them plus works at a great base to make it last longer.
essence matt blotting paper // A few years back I was on the search for blotting papers that worked and didn´t break the bank cause I honestly don´t want to pay 15 Euro for 20 little pieces of paper like some brands offer cause I sweat a lot in the summer and I need about 5 of them a day so I tried the essence matt blotting papers and they work great for me. I have purchased them over and over again and in summer time I probably have one in every bag I use.
Smashbox Spotlight Highlighter Palette // Got this for my wedding a few years back and I ended up loving it and using it on a daily base. The different highlighter shades are all gorgeous and can be build up so well or just a little. Depends on how much you like to wear.
essence blush in color autumn peach // The best peachy blush I have ever found and it is so cheap. It is super hard to find a nice orange shade for the cheeks. I have been looking for years and never found one that is more perfect. It matches great with peachy lip colors and overall is a great shade to wear in the Fall.
MAC Fling brow pen // I have tried a ton of different brow pencils made of wet consitency and pens and gel but I ended up coming back to this one every single time cause it matches my brow color the best and it also lasts for the longest time, on my brow as well as the pencil itself.
MAC Matte Lipstick in color Persistence // My most used nude lipstick. The color looks great for every season and I love that the coverage is super high.
MAC Liner in color Spice // Matching lip liner to the MAC lipstick above. Came in a set as I purchased it but you can also get the items single.
Real Techniques make-up sponge // A great alternative to the Real Beauty Blender as it is super soft and blends in all the make-up and concealer very well. You get two for the price of 10 Euro and I think that is perfectly fine. They also clean up real nice with brush soap. And a huge plus is if you like limited edition look at their site for the big holidays of the year cause they always come up with new patterns and colors.
Sephora Collection powder foundation in color Petal // I tried this by accident cause I ended up forgetting a ton of stuff as we went on our honeymoon so I had to go to Sephora and purchase some things and I ended up trying this powder I now love. It is super covering and works great to seal of your make-up and keep it matte all day. But it also looks great to wear by itself if you are going for a more natural look but don´t want to be make-up less. I have been getting the color Petal for my skintone and always have about two of the powder foundations at home as back up cause you never know.
L´Oréal Paris Color Riche Lipstick in color Paris Cherry // My most used red lipstick. I absolutely love a darker shade of red. It is my go-to for fall and winter and fits a ton of my outfits too. The Color Riche lipsticks have an awesome texturen and smell and wear really well for the price of 10 Euros. I do have a ton of them but the Paris Cherry is my alltime favorite.
Sharing my opinion on make-up is always a lot of work and takes a lot of time to write it all down but I love make-up and love reading other make-up posts and I think it is so worth it comparing items before you finally pull the trigger as it can become very expensive to get all the products for a full face cover and would want to have the possible best working ones.

from the beginning on of my pregnancy I have been ordering a couple of belly oils and creams to prevent stretch marks. I used them every night from the moment I was showing until the very last day and I found some favorites and some I really didn´t like at all.
I haven´t gotten a single stretch mark on my tummy so whether it is genetic (this always helps a lot in all stages of life) or supporting your ever stretching skin with the hydration it needs helps your skin to grow to its limit without tearing.
This has been by far my favorite. The scent is amazing – the lemony smells makes it super fresh. The bottle lasts about two months and made my skin super soft. After I found this one and it was empty I ordered another bottle cause I loved it so much.
As much as I liked the Body Oils from their brand the Body Butter really smelled awful. It also had a super weird consistence. It was super thick and so not great to spread evenly over the bump. I am also not sure if it wasn´t expired already cause off all of this. Would not recommend it at all. I practically tossed it brand new.
I ordered this by mistake as I wanted a back-up of the Mama Bee Body Oil and ended up using it on my belly. It has a dry oil formula which is wonderful as it gets soaked it almost immediately and you can get dressed right after without having stains anywhere. Going to definitely get another one for my baby girl as this is liquid gold for dry spots.
This was actually a gift of a very sweet friend. I have been using Ritual products in my daily routine for years but never noticed that they also offer mum and baby products. The body butter is more on the light side which I don´t mind at all cause it is great to use in the mornigns or during the day when the bump gets itchy and believe me it will at some point.
If you are searching for a good value I would recommend the Burt´s Bees Baby Oil. You can use it for yourself and the baby and it also lasts a long time. Also if you don´t like any scented body procuts this is the one to go.
despite all the craziness going on in the whole world due to the Corona Virus I decided to keep my normal schedule around here. After all this is my little happy place on the internet and I hope it brings you as much pleasure as myself and also some kind of distraction.
I love testing out new products and following new trends not only in fashion but also in terms of beauty products and there is one thing I found during the last few months that has gotten a lot of attention are cleansing balms.
I decided whether to go with the flow and purchase the Elemis prodcut I have seen everywhere or do my own research and get a different cleansing balm to test. I went with the Biotherm Total Renew Balm. I was sceptical first but I quickly learned to love the product and that changed my whole evening routine a little. The balm is white and firm at first but after you are applying it onto your skin it gets super velvety and clear and totally melts of the make-up off your skin. This is the first product that ever had this effect. I was seriously blown away. I use it all over my face and massage it onto my skin and after that I wipe it off with a washcloth.
To make sure all of my make-up is removed I use the Neutrogena facial water. Before doing that and if you want to be a hundred percent sure you could also double cleanse with a face foam. I do that to when I was wearing a ton of make-up to get me through a whole day or night, depends on what I was doing.
After that I spray the Clarifying Facial Toner from Dr. Hauschka all over my face and let it air dry. After that I am applying my Rituals face cream for the night and an eye cream (not pictured her but I am using the Vichy Liftactiv Yeuxes most of the time). Once a week I use a face serum and a peeling too.
My face routine is quite simple and takes about five to ten minutes every evening. I am doing this every day no matter how tired I am or how late it is and I have to admit I have seen my skin change to the better and it has also helped me to have great skin during my pregnancy.
Now we are watching another X-Men movie and having dinner. Self quarantine is in full mode over here and we plan to stay in unitl the baby gets here (only exception are my weekly doctor´s appointments). I still have some blog work to get done before the baby arrives and I am also planning on scheduling a bunch of posts for you during my break.
