Welcome to my new series – Monthly Five !! I am going to share five beauty and make-up products I have tried the last couple of years from amazon on a monthly basis. There are new things I loved and also staples I have been using for years and can´t stop getting. 

So for today I wanted to share my first montly series with five things I have tested long enough and love to us. 

Maybelline Sky High Mascara // Definitely a great find under 10 Euro. It is buildable which means you can get pretty long lashes. A little upside down is that the lower lashes loose black crumbs from time to time but all in all a good item.

Airspun Loose Face Powder // A staple of mine I have been using for years and repurchasing at every event like Black Friday or amazon prime day. It is mattifying and long lasting and always works for me not matter the season but to be honest I don´t get very tan.

Sante Nail Oil // I have been on the hunt for an affordable and also nice smelling nail oil for ages and this one is perfect. Smell is very nice, it costs under 10 Euro and last super long.

Revlon Oil Control On-The-Go // The sustained version of the blotting paper. The little roller ball is made of some sort of lava stone and absorbs all the oil of your shiny face regions. It works great and is washable and reusable.

Hydro Silk Touch Up Face Shaver // Let me warn you that they are super sharp. I have cut myself more than once but for the price they are the best I have tried cause they will stay sharp a long time. There are definitely cheaper ones but I am gonna stick with them.

Skincare Routine – Summer Mornings…

The only constant is change which is very true and couldn´t be more fitting in terms of skincare. Not only do we switch from night to day but we switch as well as we get older and also seasonal. So there are plenty of things you probably have in your skin care cabinett but the core pieces might still stay the same. At least mine do cause when I have found a tried and true item I usually stick to it no matter what.

I wanted to share my Summer skincare morning routine with you. It is a little different from my Winter routine and a lot different from my nighttime routine.

So I am sharing what I use and in which order I am using it:

Neutrogena Deep Clean Face Scrub //  You often read that a scrub should only be used once or twice a week but my beautician said I can get a fine-grained prodcut and use it every morning to remove dead skin cells and oily residues from my face. I feels very resfreshed after using it and love the feel it leaves on my skin.

Clerasil Toner // This has been a staple of mine for a long time. I think the salicyd acid it contains keeps my skin clearer.

Pixi Vitamin C Serum // A vitamin c serum is definitely a staple in my skincare routine and stays no matter the season.

Eye Cream // I have started using eye cream in the middle of my twenties and I think it is very important you do too. The skin in the area around your eyes is very thin and can get dry quickly which brings lots of problems like fine lines or wrinkles. An eye cream helps to prevent or stall these wrinkles coming in.

Kiehl`s Ultra Light Daily UV Defense // A face cream with a high SPF like 50 should absolutely be your staple in the Summer month. I have been using this for years every Summer and I am very satisfied. It isn´t sticky, blends in well with my foundation and a little goes a long way.

Elf Beauty Shield // On days were I am only wearing little make-up I am using the elf beauty shield. It is a tinted moisturizer also with a high SPF (there isn´t too much SPF) and it is totally fine for Summer days. I will add some powder on top and then I am good to go.

Mario Badescu Face Spray Cucumber, Lavender // This is my favorite face mist of the three options. I just love a good lavender scent. It is calming and more important cooling and I like to use it throughout very hot days. 

Annemarie Börlind Eye Patches // I have read about these in a study and these have been one of the winners so I got them and they are amazing. Very hydrating and without a strange smell. I use them as often I think about them (mom brain !!).

Do you change you routine from time to time?? Are there any core products you love ??

The 3 Summer Nail Polish Colors you should try….

Summer is the most colorful season of all and while I am embracing it to its fullest I understand that incorporating lots of color is not everybodies cup of tea. So how about starting small and adding some color to your nails. It makes them pop even more when you stick to wearing neutrals. I recently read an article that shared the top three Summer nail polish colors – hot pink, orange and blue. To be honest those three are right up my alley and I love them equally so it will be really hard choosing a favorite. Probably gonna rotate all Summer long. 

I bought all three of them from Essie cause they have such a huge selection that I knew this brand would carry all three of them. I got Watermelon (hot pink), Meet me at sunset (orange) and Aruba Blue.

I am currently wearing Aruba Blue and can´t decide which one will be next… Which one is your favorite??

Random Drug Store Lipsticks I ordered to try…

I am a huge lipstick gal and there is not much to say to this. I love lipsticks. I never leave the house without any and if I am at home I am also wearing at least gloss or a tinted balm so over the years I have gotten quite the experience which products / brands I love and what not.

So for today´s post I went on the internet and randomly ordered all of the lipsticks in the picutre to review them for you.  It was really fun to just choose by color. And we all know (or at least if you have been following a while) that I don´t need another new lipstick cause I probably have enough to last for a lifetime but this has also been a fun challenge.

All of the lipsticks / glosses can be found at the drug store and are under 10 Euro. They are all from well known beauty brands but we all know that this doesn´t has to mean that they are made from good quality.

Maybelline Lifter Gloss 006 Reef – These are amazing. A great gloss, not sticky at all, highly pigmented, holds up well for a gloss and available in so many pretty colors.

Maybelline Lifter Gloss 17 Cooper – Same here. The prettiest bronze color. Looks way darker than it actually is. Holds up great as well. If you want to look it more intense I would wear a nude lipstick underneath.

elf bite size lip balm Berry Bae – The idea of this cute little tinted lip balm is good but is is too bulky to apply without smudging the whole time so that is definitely a no. The color is not very pigmented but it is a lip balm. But you could totally use it as a cream blush. 

NYX Liquid Suede Gloss – 

elf Lip Plumping Gloss Bahama Mama – Super light. Not noticeable without a lipstick underneath. I am wearing Summer Saigon from MAC underneath the gloss and it turned out really good. The gloss itself is not sticky at all and easy to apply but if you don´t like the feeling a plumping gloss leaves on your lips I would not recommend it.

elf Sheer Slick Dragon Fruit – Amazing pigmentation. The perfect pink shade for Summer. Not matte. Goes on super easy. Not very long lasting but cute for the price.

Maybelline Super Stay Ink Crayon 30 Seek Adventure – I have used their crayons for years now and still love them. Highly pigmented, long lasting, goes on very smooth. 

Got2B Mattified Lipstick Tropical Beauty – Very pigmented. Not drying at all. Dries of matte. The orange shade is super vibrant but cute for Summer on brown skin. 

Wet n Wild Megalast Matte Cinnamon Spice – A adorable berry shade, a little too dark for Summer but very pigmented. The color didn´t show very good on the website. The cheapest of all the lipsticks I got. It goes on very smooth. Dries of matte but I would say it is definitely drying out your lips so use a lip balm underneath.

elf SRSLY Satin Taffy Caramel – The color is the prettiest rosewood shade. Goes on very smooth. Doesn´t dry of matte. Very affordable. Not long lasting but totally worth it.
