Beauty and Make-up products – the latest….

Hi guys,
 (post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affilate Links-not sponsored)

I am always curious for new beauty products or trying out existant brands I haven´t used before.
So these are some I had tried out lately. I wanted to write about them in my monthly favorites post but this would have been way to much and the post would have been way to long. 

Watch is from Michael Kors (no longer available in this size – similar here)

You all know how much I love lipsticks and of course I had to try out these ones from Manhattan as they came out – the moisture renew lipstick line. First they had just a few colors but not they offer one for every taste. These are no matte lipsticks they have kind of a glossy finish which I also like from time to time. After getting all the matte products it is nice that you can switch if you like. 
The two colors I have choose are in the pink/berry tones. 
The left one is 900 Crystal Berry and the rigth one is 940 Glam Plum.

Another product I tried out is the L´oréal Paris Skin Perfection face creme. I am always or let me say still on the hunt for the perfect face creme for me. There had been many I tried from AOK to Garnier to Bebe to Neutrogena and the list goes on and on. I have a mixed skin type which means I need mattifying for my nose and chin but at the same time I need lots of hydration cause my skin gets dry very quickly. Not easy. I used this one for about 6 weeks now and I am satisfied with the product. It is a day and night creme in one and for about 12 Euro it is totally fine.

This might be my favorite oil of all time. Let me start from the beginning. I had neurodermatitis when I was a child – really bad in fact – and there are still some dry areas on my body (two on my arms, one on my foot and another one on my neck. From time to time (and I still don´t know the cause for sure) they start to grow and get really really dry and from scratching they become even worse. So I bougth BI-OIL to give it a try. If it can prevent stretch marks in pregnancy maybe it could help my with my skin problems too and it works. It is so so good. It moves into your skin really quick and is not sticky at all. The smell is so good. They offer two sizes. I have the smaller one but I definitely get the bigger bottle when I repurchase it. I hope they never stop producing this product.

These two are just for fun and for the love of pink. And there is a huge love. As I like anything pink and polka dots I had to have those two and I needed a new lash curler anyway. It is from the brand (ebelin) our drug store carries but here are similar ones. The twezzer is from essence (similar here also cute) and it isn´t anything brand new or world changing – I just liked the design and the price point.

I wanted to try this one cause I have been using the egg shaped lipbalm from EOS for years now. It is the sweet mint flavor and it is totally matching with the egg balm but I also like this one. The shape is more praticle for carrying in a small handbag. It isn´t as big as the usual balms.


Blush Berry from the Maybelline Color Show series is my favorite nail polish at the moment. I have also written a whole post about this hues here. I think their polishes are totally fine for 3 Euro. The color is drying really quick and it is high pigmented so you only have to use one layer. 

As always thanks for stopping by. 

Take care. See you.

Lipcare – favorite lipbalms and more / The Body Shop / Burt´s Bees / Labello….

Hi dolls,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Post contains affiliate Links-not sponsored)
the
long and cold Winter and the dry and warm air from heating up inside
has demanded its tribute to our skin. And maybe of all the bodylotions
and skincare products we might have forgotten some parts of our body to
spoil too. For example the lips. 
They
can also get pretty dry but the difference to other body part is you
can see it no matter what. If you put on lipstick with dry and crapped
lips this looks so neglected – so it would be better to wear none.
Believe me I know.
But to get hydrated and smooth lips I found a few products for you I am using and they really turned out to be great. 
First
of all a lip scrub is a good idea. I got this lip scrub stick from the
Body shop. It works pretty well. I has little particles in the stick
which take away the dead skin cells and leave a soft and smooth feeling
on your lips.  Another good option is this Alverde Sugar Lip Scrub.

For
the days where I am not using the lipscrub I am using a lipbalm in the
morning before putting on my lipstick and in the evening before going to
bed. I had the same brand for years and I will keep them as long as
they are available to buy. They are the The Body Shop Lip Butter and
Born Lippy . Mine are Strawberry and Passion Fruit. I love them. They
are the best for dry lips and help them a lot staying hydrated through
day and night. 
But
there are pretty good alternatives if you don´t have a Body Shop near
you and if you don´t want to order online. These are drug store products
and almost everywhere available – the lipbalm from Burt´s Bees (they also have different scents) and the Labello lipbutter (my favorite is caramel).
I got them in my handbag for daily use or for the case I forgot to apply in the morning which happens quite often.

Der lange Winter und die damit verbundene trockene Heizungsluft verlangt unserer Haut alles ab. Und mit den ganzen verschiedenen Cremes und Hautpflegeprodukten für alle möglichen Körperteile haben wir im Eifer des Gefechts vielleicht eines vergessen: unsere Lippen.
Diese können auch ziemlich trocken werden und im Vergleich zu anderen Körperteilen kann man das sofort sehen – spätestend dan wenn man Lippenstift aufträgt und lauter kleine Hautfitzel wegstehen. Das ist nicht schön – gar nicht. Glaubt mir ich weiß wovon ich rede.
Aber auch das kann man Beheben. Um wieder schöne weiche und gepflegte Lippen zu bekommen habe ich ein paar meiner liebsten und effizientesten Produkte aufgelistet.
Zuallererst fangen wir dem Lippenpeeling an um die weghängenden Hautschuppen wegzubekommen. Hier habe ich zwei Optionen. Den Lip Scrub Stick vom Body Shop. Er ist wie ein Lipbalm aber mit lauter kleinen Peelingkörnchen. Man trägt Ihn auch direkt auf die Lippen auf. Die andere Alternative ist ein Lipscrub aus der Tube von Alverde. Die groben Partikel dort sind aus Zucker. 
Ich finde beide gut, aber den Stick vom Body Shop mag ich lieber da der so minzig frisch ist.
Danch kommen wir zum pflegenden Aspekt mit einem nährreichen Lip Balm.
Ich habe hier zwei vom Body Shop aufgelistet aber auch zwei die es in der Drogerie zu kaufen gibt. 
Diesen trage ich abends und morgens dick auf meine Lippen auf. Meistens zieht der eh sofort ein sodass es mit dem Lippenstift auch kein Problem gibt. 
Außerdem habe ich immer einen in meiner Handtasche dabei, falls ich mal es mal vergessen sollte, was ziemlich oft geschieht. 

Thanks for stopping by. 
Take care. See you.

Rosewood – my go-to color for make-up products….

Hi guys,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Post contains affiliate Links-not sponsored)

the Easter celebrations are almost over (we are heading to one last brunch today – gonna be the third one in three days) and we had lots of family time and good food – a lot of good food. Today we are heading to Florians grandma and in the afternoon we have a little spare time. I have to clean up and maybe I am finding a few of the easter eggs which aren´t found. We headed to a great new Sushi place on Saturday. It was beyond delicious. We have to go back to work on Tuesay – unfortunately. Another 10 weeks to go until we are heading to our next vacation.

But let´s talk about some pink stuff.

Don´t we all have our favorite colors for beauty products whether it is super trendy at the moment or not ? I think so. 
My go to color for blush and lipstick had always been a deeper rose shadow. Nower days it is called Rosewood and I am really glad that this color got into fashion so there is a bigger range on products in this color from different brands.

Die Osterfeierlichkeiten sind fast schon wieder vorbei (heute fahren wir zum Dritten und Letzten Osterbrunch) und dabei hatten wir wirklich eine schöne Zeit und viel Spass. Heute Mittag sind wir bei Florians Oma und am Nachmittag haben wir ein bisschen Freizeit. Am Samstag Abend haben wir ein neues Sushi Restaurant in unserer Stadt ausprobiert und es war einfach nur köstlich. Morgen müssen wir schon wieder weiter arbeiten – leider, aber in ca. 10 Wochen fahren wir schon in den Urlaub (is noch ganz schön weit weg aber die Zeit vergeht schnell).

Here are my favorite products in this gorgeous color:

Nail polish:
Maybelline Color Show – Blush berry
Essie – In stitches
essence- English rose

Blush:
Manhattan – Elegant Violet
essence – berry me up!
Artdeco – Crystal garden blusher

Lip products:
L´oréal Paris Lip Paint / Laquer – Darling pink
Catrice Matt Lip Artist
L´oréal Paris Color Riche – Eva´s delicate rose
essence Lip Liner – Wish me a rose

What color do you prefer for your Make-up?
Take care. See you.

Hi guys,
I have talked a lot about lipsticks in the last time so I thought about showing another favorite piece of my make-up routine – Blushes.

There
are so many different brands for blushes and brushes out there I had
tried quite a lot until now. Not only that there are so many differences
in colors and consistency there is also a huge difference between price
points.

Today I am showing you some of the pieces I like a lot and would repurchase every time.
These are my alltime favorties I use every day. The brushes and the Rouge. Although there are bigger Price differences These products work for me. Pricier isn´t always better but I don´t want to say that here that all the pricey products are as good as the less expensive. This is all about trying out what you think and what you like. This is just my opinion which I am sharing with you.

Do you have any favorites ?

Thanks for stopping by.
Take care. See you.
