In the spotlight – my top highlighters…

Hi guys,

I am checking back with a long overdue beauty post today. Have planed this for so long (you can see it at the lilac since season is long over – whoopsie) but didn´t came around posting it earlier.

Using highlighters has been a total new topic for me. The first highlighter I got was at the beginning of 2016 so I might still be a total newby concerning this topic but I have got together quite the collection so I thought I round them up for you.

As far as my color preferences go I do prefer a more pearly and rose shade but also love some golden touches during summer.


Smashbox 
My absolute favorite highlighter is this one. Maybe you can also see it cause I have used it many many times. It is the Smashbox Spotlight Highlighting Palette in Pearl. I love the lightest shade and use it almost daily. Just sets beautiful highlights. It is also perfect for mixing some shades to create your own unique highlighting shade.


MAC
I was searching for a great highlighter for my wedding day which stays all day and gives me THE glow. Of course I could use the Smashbox palette but I wanted to see what else is out there. I went to the MAC counter in our mall and talked to a very sweet girl who recommended the color Soft & Gentle – a gilded peach bronze. I really love it I think I am gonna use it for my wedding day but there are still some touch ups on procuts to make. Stays on great and you only need little. 

L´Oreal
The La Vie en Glow Highlighter palette was in fact a coincidence find as I was searching for a BB cream for our vacation. I saw it first and was smitten by all the sparkling shades. The drug store lighting can be fatal for me. The color is very pigmented so be sure to not dive into it for applying cause this will be too much.
 Other than that I like I all the nuances. Still not quite sure when to use the bluish one.
Got the 02 palette.


Catrice 
I got this single highlighter a long time ago but never came around using it. So it sat in my beauty drawer until I was recently searching for a pencil sharpener for my lipliner and rediscovered it.
I do like it but not as much as my more golden and peach shimmering highlighter as it is pretty light, almost white. The color is 01 Light Infusion. It will be great to use on taned skin as you can really tell a difference then.
The other Catrice highlighter is from a collaboration with Caviar Gauche. It is old and I think only available on platforms like ebay but it was just too pretty not to picture.


L.O.V
This is a brand I have discovered just a few months back and I tend to go around it. 
Not that I wouldn´t like certain products. I am quite sure they have great items but I really don´t need another cosmetics brand I am constantly looking for new things which I already have from another one. But this one time I got really weak and gave in. Have seen this highlighter on a what´s new display. They displayed two different palettes with color swatches and possibilities to wear them and also the stupid drug store lighting got me. Overall the colors are beautiful. I have choosen the warm palette this time since I thought it would be awesome for summer and it is. The colors are super soft and highly pigmented. Anyways if I don´t drop it this is going to last for years.


KIKO
I ordered this cause I thought it would be a bronzer but in my opinion it is a very shiny and dark highlighter. You could use it as bronzer if you like but also only for finishing touches cause it is way to shiny and sparkly for that.
I really like the products from the Kiko brand. I have discoered this brand a few year ago while staying in Verona, Italy and loved it ever since.


These are all powder highlighter cause I usually tend to stay away from wet and oily products which give my skin a more oily look than it does for itself.

Blush and red off-shoulder ruffle dress…

Hi guys,

and happy hump day. Only one more day to work and I am back at free time. So happy about that. As my week has already been very girly with corals and pinks I am going on with a blush off-shoulder dress today. Totally loving these colors lately.

I have worn this dress at Lake Garda when we went out to dinner last week. The building behind was our hotel. It really reminded me of the Disney Hotel but more about this in a several post.

The color combo or red and blush in fact has never been considered by myself until I got the dress. Although these two are from the same color family I never gave it a thought. Have to admit they look great together.

A easy breezy dress is a must for summer and also for a vacation someplace hot. There are so many options considering Asos and H&M and are all at affordable prices. 

Mine is from H&M from the Divided section. As far as sizing goes I always size up one or two sizes when I am ordering cause this runs very small.

The bag is one of my latest additons since I didn´t want to carry around my huge satchels or shoppers around town or for dinner.

If I would have worn this dress at home I´d probably combined it with red sandals or wedges but for this evening I went with a pretty pair of espandrilles.

Are you ready for summer yet? We do have kind of a heat break this week but the weekend is going to be hot though.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

I hope you all have adjusted to the new work week. I still have my problems cause I want to go back to Italy so badly by going through all of our vacation pictures.

The pink dress I am wearing above is a great piece I found about three weeks ago. I really like colors year round but I think they are a little more appropriate in summer. Even though I didn´t have taned skin there I think it fits great for every ocassion. 
 I first thought of combining some darker colors to it like brown or gray but I wanted to wear this pretty crocheted shopper so badly so I went with all white and I loved it.
Seems to be a great year for pink cause I have never seen so many different and affordable dresses  in a gorgeous pink shade than this year. 
Do you tend to wear pink a lot or is it a no-go for you?

Side note – in the pictures where I am laughing really hard Florian´s pants had just torn apart as he kneeled down to take photos from another angle!!

Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
we are back from our vavation so I am starting the day with a bittersweet feeling today. First of all we are happy to be back cause we missed Chloe and our bed so much but second of all I am back at work today and the weather isn´t as great as the last days so I really would like to have a couple more days.

Also the laudry and the unpacking and the thousands of pictures to sort. Oh boy. So let´s move on to this look I have worn before we left. I really am a lover of maxi dresses and maxi skirt and and also pleated skirts so when they are all in one send them right over.

Coral is a great summer color. It matches so perfectly with taned skin (didn´t have one in this pic but I am on it) and also with so many colors. With dark greens, with nudes and whites and grays and black.

I paired it with a black shirt including a gorgeous flower print. I really loved flowers from the beginning and even if they aren´t on trend anymore I won´t stop wearing them cause they are a real staple to me.

Hope you all had a great weekend and thanks for stopping by. I am working on how to share all my travel information and all the pictures with you.
