To wear or not to wear BLUE lipstick….

Hi dolls,

a few days ago I was at our local drug store to have a look at new products and to stock up some things for vacation and guess what I found – BLUE LIPSTICKS. Not only one but some more from different brands. I am familiar to black lipstick and I have seen plenty of looks from the fashion week shows for fall and winter trends and I would probably use it for Halloween. I also love wearing a deep purple shade for the darker months and I also wear a lot of dark redish tones but I don´t think I can warm up with the blue tones and let´s be honest I love trends but I don´t want to go after every trend. I want to stay my personal style true so if one trend doesn´t fit I wait for another. 
If you want to check it out I found a „How to wear“ from Maybelline. Essence also has a blue lipstick in their current trend edition. MAC also offers a deep Indigo shade.

What are your thoughts on blue lipsticks – trashy or trendy ?

Thanks for stopping by. 

Take care. See you.

Casual Saturday #10….

Hi dolls and happy Saturday,
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
our first week after vacation is over and it was let´s say okay. I was a little sad that our trip was over so fast but that is how it works right. Good times roll by fast.

We didn´t do too much this week since we came home Sunday late afternoon and imidiately visited my parents and afterwards we went to Florian´s parents for some indian dinner. So I was still unpacking on Monday and doing lots of laundry on Tuesday.

Food:
I made a flag cake in honor of the 4th of July and it tasted so good. It really is a easy recipe which needs a small amount of time and ingredients. 


Since eating so much pizza, pasta and bread during our vacation we decided to eat low carb for a while so I made this no carb salad with smoked salmon, onions, olives and eggs.


I am planning on a mexican evening plus dinner so I was thinking about a desert and immidiately Churros came to my mind so I was searching for a recipe and I tried it out yesterday (guess this was our cheat day).


Shop:
I ordered some cooking equipment. A tin for pie from Kaiser and a dough cutter, a zoodle maker with a matching low carb cookbook and so beautiful kitchen towels – everything from amazon.






   


Also what do you think about those jeans from Vila. They have a flared hem and I think they are so much fun but I am not quite sure.


I also found this blouse from Vila on sale and I think it is a super versatile staple piece for your wardrobe and on sale for only 12 Euros. Who could resist ?



Another thing I have been dying to try are theses brushes from EmaxDesign. They are dupes to the artisbrushes – which cost a real fortune in my opinion – and I am really looking forward testing them.






I got a ton of make-up products from the Kiko Milano store in Bolzano so there is going to be a seperate post on the products soon and we also bought some stuff at the Carpisa store. They have the cutest bags with a little turtle logo so I could not resist at all.

 
TV:
The sixth series of Modern Family is out we are watching non stop. So glad something is continuing since we are still waiting on Game of Thrones.
That´s it. We are attending the line dance summer festival tonight and might for sure have some indian food tomorrow. 
As always thanks for stopping by. 
Take care. See you.

My monthly beauty favorites for May and June tested by myself….

…..

Hi guys,

 (post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affilate Links-not sponsored)
I haven´t done a monthly favorites since April so today I am suming up both months for a big beauty favorites post with all the products I had tried in the last two months.

In fact I thought it would have got more items but these are all.

Maybelline color drama lip contour palette
 This is something I was really curious for cause I love love love lipsticks and lipproducts. So when I first saw it (there are two different palettes available) and read that you could create an ombre lip styles I was head over heels. 
This products doesn´t disappoint. You can create some really cool lip styles with this.

L´oréal Hydra Genius Aloe Water face lotion
#drinkforyourskin
This has become my staple face lotion for summer. It really is a must for me. My skin feels hydrated and stays hydrated so I don´t have any dry areas anymore. After applying I don´t have a sticky feeling on my skin so I can apply my make-up right after. It is available for three different skin types. I am using the one for oily and mixed skin.
 
Maybelline Master Blush Kit
This is something I personally would love to get for a vacation. A palette with a few different shades of blush so I am fitted for a few days away without taking my whole make-up with me. I got this cause it has a highligher color in the kit which is matching perfectly with all the other shades in the kit.

Manhattan lipstick
Manhattan has released their summer colors and I am in love with this shade. It is called spicy red and it is kind of an orang redish tone. Perfect for summer in my opinion cause I am wearing a classic red shade all the year round.


L´oréal Paris double extension mascara
Since I am not wearing fake eyelashes every day anymore I am searching for a way to get longer lashes in a short time so I decided to try out this mascara. It has two sides – a white paste with a brush to extend your lashes. After letting the white paste dry you can apply a second layer or you brush it with the black side of the mascara. I like using it but it takes a while to dry but it is effective. 


L´oréal Paris line refine expression kajal
Usually I am not using a kajal pen but I gave this one a try and I am not quite sure til today. It has a really soft tip but the black is not as black as I would like it and I am not as comfortable using it as a thought cause it smudges but that might be cause my eyes tear sometimes.


L´oréal Paris La Nude eyeshadow palette
I purchases this one for traveling cause usually I am using the Coastal Scents 88 Warm Palette but I didn´t want to take such a big one with me when I am only using the same 5 shades I am always using so I got this small one and it is perfect. Not only that it has all the colors you need, the colors have a great pigmentation too. I don´t like the brush which is included but you can switch this one easily.


NoOps kit
I have found this one through conincidence. I just was looking for a super cute beauty bag and that is why I got this. When it arrived and I unpacked it is was so small but after opening it I was impressed. There is so much stuff in it. It is like an beauty SOS kit. It includes a scrunchy, 4 hairpins, a nailfile, blotting paper, tooth picks, a top coat, refreshment sheets, make-up remover wipes, lip balm and a sewing set. It is incredible how full it is packed. You really need this to be prepared.

Thanks for stopping by. 


Take care. See you.

Hi guys,
 (post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affilate Links-not sponsored)
since travel season is in its fullest and we are also on vacation in two weeks I started to get some of the beauty items together I want to take with me. We are going to travel by car so I am not really limited regarding the space or the number of things I am taking with me but lots of you are travelling by plane so I wanted to structure this unitary for everyone. 
So let´s get over to packing. Since last year I am always taking a hair dryer in travel size with me. We had the worst hair dryers even at great hotels (or none) and I just feel more comfortable using my own. I got the Remington on the go hair dryer.

 Another small zipper bag I am taking with me is this one from Douglas. It fits the theme really nice as it says „time to travel“. I am storing all the small stuff we are taking with us like medicine, my dietary supplement, cleaning wipes for glasses, scissors and tweezers etc. 


One more product I found for all the bigger bottles which don´t fit into another case is this one from amazon. It looks like the case of a sleeping bag from the outside but it really fits a lot.

Now we are heading over to the beauty department. I always purchase the products we are using in a travel size. First of all they are not as big and as heavy as the originals and they are super cute. It depends on where you are heading but make sure to take sun-protection with you. This is very important for your skin, you won´t get a sunburn in your vacation. This would be too bad.
When I am on vacation I a not using eyeshadow on a regular base so I am just taking a small palette with some nude shades like the L´oréal Paris The Nudes with me. Speaking of applying eyeshadow, the brushes I need are stored in this beautiful pink brush case.  
For removing my make-up I am taking the Tea Tree Make-up Remover Wipes from The Body Shop with me. They leave your face super clean and with a nice and fresh feeling. Also I am adjusting my face lotion to the climate whether is a dry air or the humidity is very high. To avoid breakouts caused by bacterias I am bringing my own face towels with me cause you never know what products they use for washing. 

What are your go-to products ?
Take care. See you.
