Good evening to all of you my lovely ladies, 

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

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).

Happy Hump Day you guys,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

the temperatures in Europe are increasing everywhere until the point where people can´t take it anymore but it is still moderate in Germany so I know the things I am sharing today probably won´t work when you are above 35 degrees but I wanted to talk to you about it anyway.

5 Things to beat the Summer Heat

Kiehl´s Ultra Light Daily UV Defense // I put this under my make-up every morning. It has SPF 50 and an Anti Pollution Filter which makes this a huge necessity in my Summer make-up routine. The face cream is super lightweight and not sticky at all. I love that it has a very light scent and is abosorbed by the skin very quickly. Always use sunscreen in the Summer, it is number one to prevent your skin from aging.

Origins Ginzing Energy-Boosting Treatment Lotion Mist // Definitely was on the hunt for something else when I found this mist and let me tell you – best choice to put it into my cart. It smells amazing. It is supposed to be energizing and hydrating. The mist is oil free and dries immediately. I use it on especially hot days and even if the smell is not energizing is still is refreshing cause the mist is really cool.

Max Factor Lasting Performance Touch-Proof Foundation // I have been using this foundation for the third year in the Summer now and still love it. I am shade 106 Natural Beige which is pretty light but to be honest I don´t tan a lot so it´s perfect. It definitely is touch-proof and more sweatproof than the the Strong foundation I have tried. 

essence all about matt oil control paper // These are my absolutely musts in Summer time. Having high humidity outside my skin will get oily very quickly and the oil control papers from essence are amazing. Super affordable, don´t take away any of your make-up. I have been using these for years and they never dissapoint.

L´Oréal Paris Color Riche Shine // Color in the pictures are 112 Only in Paris and 245 High on Craze but I own three or four more of these. Of course this post had to include a lipstick, I mean it wouldn´t be written by me if there wasn´t at least one on the list. So why do I love the Color Riche Shine for Summer. The colors have an amazing shine and hydration to your lips. They aren´t as longlasting as a matte lipstick but I do love them. The subtle shimmer and shine is what makes them the perfect everday Summer lipstick.

Lipstick Dupes #2…

Welcome to my second lipstick dupe blog post. I love my lipsticks and to be honest I would rather go out the door in my pj´s than without lipstick. Since I have so many it was enough to share a secon dupe post with you to give you some options at all price points.

Enjoy reading.

The „Oranges“ – to be honest my favorite color for my lips. Never met an orange lipstick I didn´t like. These three are my go-to´s.

The „Pinks“ have been my ultimate Summer color for years but since I have red hair I stepped back from the vibrant pinks and incorporated lots of berry hues or blush tones. 

Maybelline Color Sensational Mat Faint for Fuchsia 945 / Sephora #lipstories Barbie Swag 55 / MAC Candy Yum Yum

 

The „Reds“ are the perfect companions for all things nautical in the Summer, all things black at date night and the upcoming holidays. 

NYX Mat Lipstick Perfect Red / Sephora #lipstories A little magic / MAC Ruby Woo

 

The „Pink Nudes“ would make a fine descripton for this category. These are the lipsticks when nothing else matches and I don´t want to add a lot of color to my look.

Manhattan Browtastic versus Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer…

….

Happy Hump Day ma ladies, 

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/

full disclosure upfront for today´s beauty post. I am in no way a pro when it comes to brows nor am I always happy with the outcome. In my opinion my brows look a little different everyday and I have struggled with my brows as long as I can think. When I was a teenager they where way too thick and in the beginning of my twenties I had super thin brows. Now I would say they look ok.

One tool I have found which has helped me a ton with the shape and filling with my brows is an angled liner. I got both versions (the cheap and the expensive) because the tip looks exactly the same and the color on the liner as well. So I got curious and wanted to do a comparison plus it is also a save versus splurge.

Anastasia Beverly Hills versus Manhattan

Manhattan Brow´tastic – The Brow´tastic from Manhattan costs 7 Euro and is available in three colors. My shade is number 001 blonde (it is a cool ash blonde tone). The angled tip makes it super easy to apply. With the thin side contours can easily be drawn and the thicker side is great to fill in. I like the color a lot. It fills in my brows where I need it but isn´t too dark. The price point is great as well but in my opinion there is a downside as well. The tip is very soft which means when it you twist it a little too much it will break while applying. This means the pen ends soon and might not be worth its money. Other than that I think it is a great prodcut and I am probably on my tenth already.

 

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer – The Brow Definer from Anastasia Beverly Hills costs about 27 Euro and is available in 12 colors. The color is am using is blonde (it definitely is a light blonde shade but still fills in my brows) and it is the exact same color on the stick than the Manhattan one, looks a little different on your brow after applying. I am taking a darker shade next time to have some comparison. You might not think that it is worth it cause it is definitely a lot of money for a brow pencil but hear me out first. The brand is known for its marvellous brow products and on the market for a long time. So these guys definitely know what they do and their products work. So now for the liner – the tip is a little hard so you definitely have to get used to using it or it will scratch you and the color is not transferring onto the brow as well as the Manhattan pen but this also means you will use less product and it holds up longer. 

In conclusion I can not say which one is better. To be honest I thought about it, a lot. If you don´t mind spending the extra bucks on the Anastasia Beverly Hills I would say try both and decide for yourself. You can not loose either way.
