Happy Hump Day you guys,

I just love my lipsticks. Even stupid Covid could not keep me from wearing lipstick at home while #selfdistancing and also not from wearing my beloved lipsticks when heading out somewhere and wearing a mask (which let´s be honest is pretty much everywhere these days). I have all kinds of brands and colors and sometimes I come across a color in my drawer that is pretty similar or even the same to another one but less expensive. To be honest this happended quite often, especially after organizing my lipstick drawer and so I went on the search for “pairs”.

This post is in particular interesting if you don´t want to spend a fortune on a lipstick. MAC is pretty expensive as well as the luxury brands Charlotte Tilbury and YSL. I understand it completelty if you are not willing to pay 30 Euro and up for a lipstick especially if you aren´t wearing it all the time so I came up with this lipstick dupe blog post. I have found quite many similar colors so I am going to share another post very soon. I thought splitting it up would be easier cause to much input can be so overwhelming and just annoying.

MAC Matte Persistence // L´Oréal Color Riche Ultra Matte No Cage

Charlotte Tillbury Pillow Talk // MAC Velvet Teddy // Love Lip Affair in 501 Gesine´s Rosewood

L´Oréal Color Riche Matte in 640 Erotique // e.l.f liquid matte lipstick in Tea Rose // YSL Rouge Pur Couture in 92 Rosewood Supreme

e.l.f liquid matte lipstick in praline // MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolor in Burnt Spice

These have been all the nude and pinky nude colors I have found so far. The next lipstick dupe post will be a mixed version. See you soon.

What are the benefits of ice rolling…

Happy Monday,

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

it definitely is a tough one today. Emilia didn´t sleep very well so I needed all the coffee and some ice rolling today. The ice roller is such a great and inexpensive tool and there are days in everyone´s life I am sure you´ll need one. I got mine a few years a go after Hayley from Blondie in the City raved about it a lot and I have never needed it more since I had Emilia. I mean she mostly is a good sleeper but some days are just jinxed.

So…

What are the benefits of ice rolling

Ice rolling has several benefits that shouldn´t be missed because they are so easy to achive plus the ice roller is only about 10 Euro and definitely brings great things with it. So here are the awesome benefits I was talking about:

– ice rolling reduces swelling (much needed after hard nights)

– boosts circulation which is helping to restore cells

– can instantly reduce redness

– can shrink the size of your pores

– can calm inflammation

– helps to keep my headache at a minimum (at least for me but it is worth a try if you get really strong migraines)

I definitely use it a lot these days. I keep it in my fridge cause it gets uncomfortably cold in the freezer plus it doesn´t roll as smooth when the plastic gets to cold.

Hopefully we get more sleep tonight, so see you tomorrow.

Is the Tarte Shape Tape worth the hype…

Happy Monday to all of my beautfiul readers,

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

I wanted to talk about about a beauty product today which has had the biggest hype for the longest time and I know I might be late to the game but I had my ups and downs with it and wanted to make sure to try everything before sharing an honest review with you guys. The product I am talking about is the Shape Tape concealer from Tarte.

What is the Shape Tape?

The Shape Tape is a concealer by Tarte. It is cruel free, dermatology tested, waterproof with 16 hour wear and so much more. It is 27 Euro which is much for a concealer but I was curious cause so many people raved about it – a lot.

Coverage

The coverage of the product is amazing. I am shade 12 N fair neutral and it fit´s my skin perfectly. Makes the areas I apply it to appear a lot lighter but doesn´t look excessive light. A little goes a long way too which is always great for expensive make-up products.

Longevity

So now this is the part that is not convincing myself. I have tried everything. Applying the concealer on its own, with facial oil, with face cream, with a sponge and a brush and of course with fingers, under and over my foundation but I have never been happy. After some time it is getting REALLY dry and looking so cakey plus it is somehow gathering in the fine line under my eyes. I hate it when my make-up does this and nothing won´t work either.

Conclusion

To be honest I think it is a great product and I wanted to make it work so bad but it is just not happening for me. Maybe it is my foundation or my skin I really can´t figure it out.

Have you been using the Shape Tape? I would love to know what you think about it!!

Happy Hump Day you guys,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag

Valentine´s Day is next week and I can not believe that we can´t go to dinner this year cause all of the restraurants will still be closed. But we can still enjoy ourselves at home am I right? With plenty of take-out and all of the cheesy and romantic movies Netflix has to offer. You bet I will definitely wear a red lip with my sweatpants 😉 But before we go into further details about the shades I have picked for today´s blog post – have you seen my feet. I am wearing heels in this post. I am missing my dear heels so much. There is rarely an opportunity for me to wear them anymore. On some days I open their closet and look at all of them and talk to them so they won´t feel lonely. #crazyshoelady over here but don´t tell anybody 😉

Anyways who wants to read all about the red lipsticks this post includes. Me, me, me… okay let´s start.

5 affordable drug store lipsticks under 10 Euro

Maybelline High Shine Lipgloss // Color 45T – Price about 3 Euro – a nice sheer red color with glitter particles, not sticky at all, great to wear all day if you don´t like it too bright but looks also great to add some sparkle to a matte red lipstick

Catrice Full Satin // Color 070 – Price about 4 Euro – a deep and bright matte red, very soft to apply and highly pigmented

L`Oréal Paris Color Riche Valentine´s Day Edition // Color 125 Maison Marais – Price about 9 Euro, the cutest Valentine´s Day themed packaging (I am a sucker for cute packaging) bright, matte red, super smooth to apply and the cutest I have ever seen – it has hearts imprinted on the actual red stick inside, sooo adorable 🙂

Essence Longlasting Lipstick // Color 08 Passionate – Price about 3 Euro, super affordable and for the price point really good quality, great bright red shade, not as longlasting as it should be but definitely awesome for the price, satin finish

Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink // Color 118 Dancer – Price about 8 Euro,

Of course red isn´t only a color for Valentine´s Day. If you like you can easily wear red year round as there are so many different shades, you will definitely find your favorite.

See you tomorrow for some Valentine´s Day fashion inspo.
