Good morning my beauty loving friends,
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
I really love browsing through the beauty sections of drug stores and see what´s new (or new to me, sometimes I miss a few things or don´t get it until it is super hyped and I want to know why). Trying these things out on my free Fridays is so much fun. I make myself a giant cup of coffee and incorporate the new beauty products into my make-up routine.
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Treatment Concealer // I first saw this product on Chronicles of Frivolty and gave it a try cause I don´t have a specified under eye concealer, I just use my face concealer for this region too and the dark shades mostly get through later in the afternoon or even after lunchtime. It is no full coverage product and I don´t think it is buildable but it works for me. I only add some powder on top to make it matt and voila. Fresh and awake looking eyes. Who doesn´t want that??
Maybelline Tattoo Brow Waterproof Eyebrow Gel  // This is by far the best eyebrow gel I have ever tried. It is awesome. Super soft to apply. The color fits perfect (I have light blonde) and it stays, also cause of the gel texture there are no hairs acting weird and do what they want. They are like glued to your brow. Definitely gonna buy this again.
L’oréal Voluminous Lash Extatic // The Lash Paradise mascara is supposed to give you lenght and volume and I think it totally does. I am super fine with it being a drug store mascara. It does the work and I am happy but not satisfied. In my opinion there is nothing better than the essence lash princess mascara (drug store). Maybe it is the brush or the texture of the product. Although I would buy and use it again if the other one is sold out which happens very often.
NARS Mini Blush & Bronzer Duo  // The Nars blushes had been on my wish list for a long time now. I wanted to try out the color Orgasm but it was always sold out so you could probably imagine how happy I was when I found the blush/bronzer set at a Sephora in Spain. I totally love the pink blush. It is super soft to apply and creates such a nice and beautiful rose hue on my cheeks. Unfortunately I am not wearing pink that much but it has definitely increased. I do think it is a great duo for trying out their different itmes and not spending a fortune on buying two normal sized products.
DKNY Women perfume // I wanted this perfume for a long time but every time I went to purchase a new one I totally forgot about it until they had a set with a matching body lotion in a metallic shimmering box and it caught my eye. It is a fresh fragrance which is perfect for me to use when I had or get a migraine or overall have a bad head which happens from time to time. And also it doesn´t break the bank. I think the flask was only 25 Euro.
L’Oréal Paris X Isabel Marant Women’s Lipstick in color Palaid Royal Field // I have to admit I wasn´t as excited for this collaboration with Isabel Marant as I was with Balmain (read my post here). Also since I love red lipsticks there are so many shades I already have that I decided to take at least one nudish color but I also went with two awesome red shades (just can´t help it!!). Palais Royal Field is a classic and bright red and would make – in my opinon – the perfect Christmas Red. It is made of the typical L´Oréal quality so it goes on smooth, stays and has their typical scent. A good and cheap alternative to MAC or Bobbi Brown lipsticks.


The second red lipstick I got is called La Butte Marshall and I have worn it about 10 times since I got it. As much as I love a vibrant red shade I adore a darker red with a bluish undertone. Perfect for fall and winter and oh so chic.
And for the last one I finally got myself a nude shade. The color is called La Seine Shadow and I would say it has a rosy apricot undertone. I think it is really beautiful but it doesn´t show too much on my lips since they are so pigmented. Probably gonna try it again by putting some foundation underneath to even out the color.
That´s it for now. I really love trying out new products. These are from the drug store and also from the high-end retailer but most of the time I get lots of drug store stuff since they carry so many different brands and products. And now is finally the time where they also have Christmas decor and candles and cards and so on…. So I could spend half a day in there. 
Are there any makeup products you are interested in and want me try out?

Beauty pieces I love for Fall….

Good morning my beauty loving friends 
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-Markennennung/not sponsored)
and welcome to day three of our fall week festivites. I am talking beauty over here today. Although I am pretty much using the same beauty pieces throughout the whole year, as soon as the leaves change my colors do to. I am going from a light pink or vibrant pink shade into a more darker purply or cooler tone or from a neon orange to a deep cooper shade. Fall is a new season and with a new season there are always a lot of changes happening not only in nature.

My go to nailpolish colors for fall are dark blues and greens, a deep purple and of course black. And I really didn´t mind as I saw this gorgeous copper shade. Essie totally rocked the season with their fall colors 18 collection. They have a few more shades but I only got these two (cooper tone is Say it ain´t Soho and the blue is Booties on Broadway)- so far.

Since I tend to the more berry shades when the temperatures drop I have found a blush palette I love and get so much use out of. This mostly never happens and that is one reason I don´t buy blush palettes at all but these are the perfect shades. It is the Smashbox Color Blush Palette in berry. So adorable and the hues are the prettiest. The darkest one matches perfect with Rebel or Amorous from MAC and the middle shade works so well with my liquid lipsticks from Bobbi Brown (color Vintage Rose) or even Smashbox and my favorite lip color from Maybelline Rosewood Road. The lightest shade is great to use as a highlighter over the berry blush´s or as a blush itself. Snob from MAC for example would be adorable paired to this fresh and light shade.

The lipsticks I have mentioned above are my fall staples. I rotate them on a daily base and love how the deep and vibrant colors can transfer a whole look into a moody stage.

My favorites are MAC Chili – a burnt orange shade with a redish undertone, MAC Rebel – a vibrant purple shade with a cool undertone, MAC Persistence a darker nude color with an apricot undertone (my go-to color), MAC Amorous – a berry shade on the pinkish side which I totally adore and my latest addition Bobbi Brown – Vintage Rose – a gorgeous rosewood shade.
I have finally got my hands on the Body Shop limited fall edition products. Totally forgot about it last year so it was already sold out until I thought of it. But I had it on my radar this year, ordered still in August and also caught a great day on their site with 25 % off sitewide. The this years collection is called Fall for Pumpkin and it inlcudes the amazing mixture of pumpkin and vanilla. So so awesome. I got the hand lotion and also the body butter. They also offer a shower gel. 
Do you switch your makeup routine by the change of the seasons or do you stick to your alltime favorites and everyday pieces??

My thoughts on the BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Edition eyeshadow & highlighter palette…

Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung-Markennennung, Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
since I haven´t done a beauty post in a while but got a ton of products to try for myself I am now sharing them piece by piece with you.


So let´s talk beauty today. I wanted the Carli Bybel Deluxe palette since I saw her talk about it on her Youtube channel but things don´t come as quick to Germany as I would wish for so I waited ages and then I forgot about it (typically me) so when I finally saw our drug store carry it I had to get it immediately.


The palette has the eyeshadow colors I love and use pretty much every day. Browns and soft pinks and lots of glitter or metallic finish. 


The one and only eyeshadow palette I have been using for a long time was the Coastal Scents Warm and Metal Mania palette. Each has 88 shades on its own so you practically don´t need anymore. 


But as I said I was curious about the palette and finally got it.
The metallic shades (7) are super pigmented which means less goes a long way. The effect is even better when you are applying them with a wet eyeshadow brush. 


The matte shades are color coordinated for blending in with the highly pigmented metallic shades. 


The big shades are highlighter colors but they could easily be used as eyeshadow too. Especially when you have fair skin like I do the right shade would be way to dark.

The palette and the whole brand is cruelty free which means they are not testing on animals.


Another thing I love is the packing. Although it is made of cardboard it is beautifully colored and so pretty. The rose gold font competes the look. There is a small mirror inside but in my opinion that is not necessary. I am always using a big led mirror for doing my make-up.


Overall I really like the palette and since the pots are big and you don´t need much color for your lid I think the palette lasts a long time. The 24 Euro are well spend.

If there is anything else you want me to test let me know.


Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Beauty Routine – how I take care of my legs / feet in the Summer…

Gillette Venus original razor / Gillette shaving foam / EOS body lotion for dry skin / pumice / foot cream Neutrogena


….

Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affililate Links)
shouldn´t one of our most used body parts receive the most and best care? Yes probably. But when it comes to my legs/feet I have to admit I am neglecting them a little bit. Although I am buying them pretty shoes but that ain´t enough.

So for today I am rounding up my current routine. What I plan on including into it and some tips.

Let´s start with the most annoying part (at least in my opinion) – shaving!!

In the summer months I am shaving every day. This is okay so far cause it isn´t a real problem while showering to shave your legs but even by using different products and sharp razor blades there are still stubbles. 

I have used many shower creams, gels and oils but only one thing helped. First of all I have to admit I can´t use products with aloe vera cause I have an allergical reaction with it and get a terrible itching rash on the spots I used it. 

So why not waxing or using an epilator? Good question but this is not recommended if you are prone to varicose veins or spider veins. I do have some little spider veins already so I don´t want to gain more by waxing my legs. 

All that´s left now is shaving and here is my tip. I am using men´s shaving cream. My favorite is from Gilette. I doesn´t contain aloe vera. It goes on smooth. It is inexpensive and it works. By using men´s shaving cream I achieve the softest result for my legs without itching afterwards.

Of course the razor should be sharp too but that shouldn´t need much more explaining. I am using the Venus Gilette Original razor (like forever) and that is all I need. Nothing fancy or super progressive at all.

For keeping my legs hydrated I always apply a nourishing lotion after shaving. You could also apply a body oil. The shimmer of a body oil creates a darker tan than you actually have. Love that.

Let´s move on to our feet…
I am using a pumice for my feet about twice a week always after I have taken a shower. I am really no foot person I think feet are ugly. Whether they are mine or others. This is the purpose of buying pretty shoes to cover most of your feet.

So after that I am applying foot lotion onto my heel (I only do this when I go to bed  cause my feet get really slippery then).

My newest addition are these self-tanning wipes from Comodynes. I have ordered them last week and wanted to try them on the weekend but I somehow forgot it. So I managed to try them last week. The application is pretty easy. Just make sure your feet are exfoliated and smooth. Then apply the liquid inside the paper sheet evenly over your legs (or also arms whatever you like). It takes three full hours for the color to set in.

As always thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
