How to make your house smell like fall…

wax warmer Yankee Candle /

Hello friends,
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung-Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links/Markennennung-not sponsored)
it seemed like forever until we finally got the cooler temps. From the beginning until the end of August I was craving fall so bad. I couldn´t help it but I was fed up of the super hot weather and ready for fall.

So since this is the first week of October I have a week full of fall themed post planned. From home decor to style, to recipes and even a giveaway so stay tuned.

Since I am such a huge fan of fall I am decorating the living room of our house and also our front porch (view last years decoration here) and I enjoy it each and every time. It sets my decoration process from Fall to Winter to Christmas.

But today I am talking about scents. Every house has its own unique inside smell. Not everyone likes the smell of other houses but it is a scent we connect with home, comfort and coziness.

I am a real lover of the Fall and Winter scents and I love that there are new mixtures every year. I am especially going crazy for everything pumpkin and cinnamon scented. But believe it can get quite expensive when you are buying a jar of each candle you could like so I opted for another system this year. 

TARTES is the key word. They are pressed into whatever shape and made out of wax including the same fragrance you would get in a jar. I got a wax melt warmer from Yankee Candle in this super cool silver color gradient optic. It is so pretty and totally matches our living room. So there are just two steps left now. 

Put a tealight into your wax warmer and cut of the desired amount of wax of your tarte. Let it melt and enjoy your gorgeous smelling home. The tartes are super intense. The whole house is smelling really good after about half an hour. They are totally worth it and also a little goes a long way.

I really love scents in our house around the Fall/Winter time cause we spend so much time inside and why not making it as nice and comfortable as possible.
 My favorite scent is Pumpkin Spice from Village Candle – the best pumpkin candle I have ever bought. I am heartbroken that they have discontinued to make them. So I am buying what´s left of it.

As always thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Makeup Tutorial – the nudes for everday….

Keine Kommentare

….

Hello friends and happy Friday,
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung-Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-Markennennung-not sponsored)
welcome to my first ever makeup tutorial. I hope I am not doing too bad. I am sharing my recent favorite makeup look. I have never been a huge fan for nude lips as I always thought it looks a little strange blending in your lips with your makeup (cause I am all for color) but since I discovered this MAC Lipstick which still counts as a nude shade/color I am all for it. The shade is called Persistence (I would say it is a medium brown color with a warm undertone) and I also have the matching liner in the color Spice. I bought this Lip Duo as I got a gift card for the MAC store and as much as I wanted to leave with a red set I got the nude lip duo and loved it ever since.

I am wearing this color almost on a daily base and totally adore it. It had the perfect undertone to match my skincolor. I also have the Whirl lipstick but I don´t like it that much. In my opinion it is a little to harsh for me.


So here is the rest of my tutorial:


Clinique All About Eyes Cream – Anti Blemish Solutions all-over clearing treatment // In the mornings after cleaning/washing my face and before putting on my make-up I use a moisturizer and an eye-cream. Both are from Clinique (currently as I am trying out new products all the time). The Clinique all about eyes cream has a rich texture which I think is perfect for the under eye region to keep it moisturized, depuffed and awake looking. The face cream I am using is the Clinique Anti Blemish solutions all-over clearing treatment. It is a light, non oily face lotion which moisturizes your skin without leaving a greasy feel. And it also helps to prevent new breakouts and clear the old ones. I have used it about a two months now and really like it. I would stick to it but i my opinion it is too light for fall and winter.


Urban Decay Optical Illusion Primer // After that I usually use a concealer but I skipped it here for a primer instead. I have gotten the Urban Decay Optical Illusion Primer in a sample size as I purchased their All Nighter setting spray and have used it ever since. It defenitely evens out your skin and makes it extra smooth. And that creates such an even look. Definitely gonna buy the big size when it´s empty.


MAC Studio Fix Foundation // The foundation I am using is the MAC studio fix in the color NC15 and I loved it since I got it. The coverage is amazing and it is buildable without looking like a mask. I got it for my wedding makeup and also used it for several other shoots. Although I have tried many more from other brands I totally adore this one.


Maybelline Fit Me Presed Powder // For additional coverage I am using the Maybelline Fit Me face powder in shade 105. I am convinced that their powder keeps my skin a lot longer matte than any other I have tried so far. 


MAC Brow Sculpt // For my eyebrows I am using the MAC Brow Sculpt in color Fling. I didn´t like it from the beginning cause I had a brow powder before and the pencil feels like a crayon but I have got used to fill in my brows with it and I would purchase it again. Also the color I got really matches my real eyebrow tone so there is no overcoloring.


Essence Lash Princess Mascara // My mascara is the Lash Princess Sculpted Volume Mascara from essence and although it is the cheapest mascara I have ever gotten it is awesome. It creates super thick and super long lashes. One of the best drug store mascaras on the market. Lots of times it is sold out.


Benefit Hoola Bronzer // This is such a basic piece 90% of the women I know have in their makeup bag but it is also pretty versatile. You can use it as bronzer, blush or even as eyeshadow. I personally love using it as a blush for a natural look on my cheeks.

Sephora Face Shimmering Powder // For highlighting my bronzer I am using the face shimmering powder from Sephora in color 02 natural glow. It is such a pretty product. The pigmentation is incredible good and also the product itself is really pretty. 


Smashbox Cali Contour Palette // My most used shade in this palette is the lightest shade as I use it for brightening up my under eye area and also highlight my under brow section. But I also love using the two highlight shades above my blush. I have to admit I don´t use it to contour that much. 


MAC Matte Lipstick – MAC Lip Pencil // I love lipsticks. If I only could use a few pieces of my makeup lipsticks would always be on top. I just love to add some color to my look. Lipstick expresses my feels for the day. Do I feel great and overall happy I am mostly choosing a more bold and vibrant color. That is how I express my mood in my makeup. I have talked about this lip duo at the beginning of my post so I am not gonna rave about it again although I love it pretty much.


Wow this has been a long post. I am sorry if it was a bit too much information but these are all the products I used for this look and I wanted to at least give you some basic information why I use and like them.


Have a great weekend. Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

We are married…..

2 Kommentare

….
Good morning guys,
I finally came around to share a little sneak peak on our wedding day and some photos we already have.

Everything really was perfect – the day, the dress, the flowers of course my groom and also the weather which I didn´t expect after all the different forecasts.

We had our wedding ceremony at the town hall at 11:30 a.m. so we needed to get up pretty early to get ready. My hair appointment was at 07:30 a.m. and the bridesmaid followed after which gave me plenty of time to do my make-up (yes I did my make-up on my own, I figured this would also work for me if it worked for the Duchess of Cambridge). Our photographer came around 10:00 a.m. and we took lots of cute getting ready pics in our matching robes. After that we got dressed and ready to go. The first look was outside of our house and I couldn´t wait for Florian to see me and my stunning dress. I think it looked absolutely stunning. 

After the ceremony we left for taking picutres with our photographer, my dad who drove the wedding car and of course Chloe.

Our photographer picked out such a beautiful place for our picutres. A whimsical place with lots of trees, fog and a stunning view.

We got to our reception about half an hour later than our guests – the Hesperidengarden – and the sun was with us. It was absolutely beautiful. All the pretty flower arrangements, well dressed guests and the best food. I impatiently waited for our wedding cake (we had a delicious passionfruit filling) and after that the night was a pretty blur and over so quickly. The dinner was divine and our band was the best and nicest I have seen in quite a while. There was lots of celebrating and laughing and talking and everyone was dancing (even my old grandmother twisted on the floor) and enjoying theirselves. If I had to do it all over I wouldn´t change a thing at all as it has been THE perfect day and night. 

Thank you all for your wishes and congratulations on our big day. We really appreciate it.

And as always thanks for stopping by.

Fall Look – Bootcut jeans (under 50 €) and knotted back sweater…

Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung-Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-Markennennung-not sponsored)
it feels like forever since I have been on the hunt for a perfect dark washed pair of bootcut jeans and I finally found one. I have probably ordered two dozens and none of them fit. They where to wide or way to long or didn´t fit on the top or I just didn´t like them on me but Mango answered my prayers and added the best pair I could have asked for into their fall collection.

I have worn it in this post and decided to get it hemmed for about 3 cm cause although I am wearing a pair of my usual heels it is a little too long for my taste. 

I paired it with a creme colored super soft slightly cropped sweater also from Mango. The sweater has a knotted back which it honestly really cute. A pony tail or a bun probably would have been the better hair option but next time then.

I totally love to mix and match several hues of brown and creme to create some depth. It doesn´t have to be strict monochrome all the time. The belt is my latest addition. I am usually not a belt girl and if I wear one I stick to my favorites but I wanted to have a slimmer version to wear in fall with slacks or a feminine skirt. This one acutally pairs well with denim too.

Tomorrow finally is the day I am giving you a little more insight on our wedding day and some photos. I have finally found the time to sit down and write about this special day. Didn´t want to do it inbetween cause it has been kind of a whirlwind over here since getting back from our honeymoon on Monday.

Enjoy the rest of the day and as always thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
