I recently got a silk pillow case for myself because I was looking at some sites how I could take better care of my hair and make it look more shiny and healthy and one thing I have read over and over again was to try a silk pillow case. So in my amazon cart it went.
I had mine for about two or three months now and thought I share my thoughts with you.
Benefits of a Silk Pillow Case
– prevents your hair from getting dry and frizzy from all the tossing and turning at night
– shortens the drying time of your hair if you are going to bed with damp hair
– in my experience straight hair stays longer straight than on a normal pillow case which I think is a really great factor
– it is super cooling in the Summer months
– skin care products stay longer on your skin because silk is a non absorbent material
And of course there are a few small down sides too:
– silk pillow cases cost way more than your average cotton or jersey pillow case
– they need to be handwashed or washed in a gentle cycle with a with a special laundry detergent
I love my silk pillow case and will keep it for as long as possible. And Emilia also loves to sleep on it. I would say it has definitely helped with a super dry area of hair on the back of my head so that alone is the main reason for me to keep using it.
I just love everything about Fall – the food, the colors, the decor, the clothing and I also know you might be tired of me hearing this but it´s just the best season of all.
So since I go all in for Fall how about some cute Fall Nail Polish colors I have found!!! I think I have your attention now.
Fall Nail Polish I am loving
Dark Blue // I love dark nail polish colors, not only for Fall but somehow a pretty dark blue shade fits right into the season. – essence shine last & go 72 into the unknown
Mauve // Since blush and pink are way to summery colors I love a rich and deep mauve shade for Fall nails. – Maybelline Color Show Blush Berry 20
Nude // It is an evergreen and a color many of you love and pick each season so I weanted to share this cause it still might be number one on the list of most famous nail polish colors. –
Olive Green // This beautiful shade of green has been on the side lines for too long and clearly has made its comeback . I love how it looks and it matches more colors than I thought. – Trend It Up
Metallic Gray // Such a cool and sophisticated color that will work now and also for Christmas through New Years. – essie expressie what the tech? 365
I have been waiting to get my hands on the Kylie Cosmetics lip kits for a long time and when they finally launched in Germany I was too late and all the colors had sold out already so I waited and waited and finally they restocked. You can imagine my excitement plus I got two real Fall colors – Sweater Weather and Autumn!!! How cool is this.
Kylie Cosmetics Lip Kit Review
I know the hype about the prodcut and I am aware that a lot of it is about the famous family name but to be honest I was positively surprised how great they are.
The two colors I got are Sweater Weather and Autumn. Both liquid lipsticks have a mat finish and are highly pigmented. I was very pleased with Autumn. The liner and the gloss are exactly the same color and blend in nicely, unfortunately the lip liner of Sweater Weather is a total different shade. I am not sure if they got mixed up or not but they do not match at all.
For the durability they are both amazing and hold up very well the whole day but you have to have hydrated lips before applying. It won´t hold as long with chopped or dry lips plus it looks disgusting.
There are 21 colors available and the set is around 30 Euro including the lip liner and the liquid lipstick. I am very pleased with the product and overall it is very good. Yes it is pricey but I would compare it to the Bare Minerals liquid lipsticks and they cost about the same.
Also I really really really love all things lipsticks so I am always happy to find and try a new product.
I am in absolute and total Fall mood around here (going to start decorate soon) but I also know that many of you are still travelling or have plans for Summer travel so I wanted to share some of my absolute favorite travel cases I have used for years and hopefully are going to use years to come.
There is one for every type of traveller whether you are chaotic or super organized. In my opinion always knowing where everything is in your suit case saves time and anger. Trust me!!
Best of make-up / toiletry bags…
The Chaotic Make-Up Bag – This is a drawstring make-up bag from the Flat Lay Co. and the idea behind it is marvellous. You just throw all of your make-up in it together and pull on the string and all of your products are packed and ready to go. This saves a lot of time and you know where everything is at all times but it isn´t the best method to find things quick. Although all of the pattern the company offers are super cute which is very intruiging. You can get palm print, leopard print, little lightnings, gingham, velvet, satin – you get it right?! Most of them are to find on Asos.
The Clear Make-Up Bag – If you want to have an overview at all times and know exactly where the one thing is you are searching for even before you open the zipper this is the perfect item for you. Mine is from Guess but I also have the Luxe Beauty Case from the Styled Collection which is also clear and love them both.
The Two-Storey Vanity Case – It is an organization loving gals dream. It has two stories which means two big compartments. I got this from River Island years ago and it holds so much make-up – perfect for a longer trip. The top compartment is great for long, flat items to lay like lip liner, brushes, concealer, mascara and in the bottom compartment can things be stored like foundation, powder, your face and eye cream pods.
The most hyped make-up bag – I have gotten this one a few years ago, let´s say about three or four and it was the most hyped make-up bag I have ever seen. Every blogger and her mother was promoting it and it has been a top seller for many of us for month and to be honest I can see why. I has a very clean but chic look, it is very sturdy, has many great compartments inside you can customize for you own needs and is under 25 Euro. I mean there isn´t much more to say in my opinion. Whether you get this one for yourself or you gift it a friend/family member there will be no regret. It is sold on amazon and the exact one I have is sold here.
The personlized train case – Where are all my monogram friends at!! I got this adorable train case customized from etsy for our honeymoon and have used it a ton ever since. Personally a monogramed piece is the best thing you can get and I know there are two sides. You either love it or hate it right but if you are ever looking for a special piece etsy is the place to be.
The space-saving make-up bag– It really is a huge space saver when you have booked a small room. You can literally hang it anywhere and it won´t take up closet space, luggage space or counter space while you are staying at your destination and it can also be folded and put back into your weekender / suit case as well but in my experience it doesn´t hold a lot. I have way to many things with me which wouldn´t fit in there make-up wise BUT it would be a great bag for shower gels, soaps, razor etc. cause you could hang it on the opposite side of your shower and have access to everything you could possibly need in there. I got it from amazon (prime available as well as lots of different colors).
