Hi guys,

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

I haven´t had the most productive week to be honest I have been so so tired and not feeling super well so this will hopefully turn around soon. I mean the second trimester is supposed to be a lot better energywise and I also have a ton of stuff to get done until baby #2 is here. Still sounds so surreal.

Anyways let´s have a look at the foundation I am sharing today. I have been trying many throughout the last years but this one has quickly become my favorite.

IT Cosmetics CC Cream

Why has it become a favorite of mine. It is buildable which means it covers blemishes perfectly, it has SPF 50 (very important these days – the sun is making you age and is also a huge risk for skin cancer), there are so many shades available which means there will be definitely the right one for you (my shade is fair), it is available in travel sized (just got mine for my hospital bag) and it is definitely affordable for the quality. Stays all day long. Looks great with or without powder on.

A little alos goes a long way too. I bought mine on Black Friday and used it nearly everyday and it still has lots left. The picture shows how much I need for one coat that covers my whole face. I apply it with a sponge but a brush would be good as well.

Side Note: As great as the CC Cream is I recently found out it is not pregnancy safe at all. The CC cream contains Retinoid, Snail Secretion, Salicylate and Licorice Root which are neither safe for nursing nor pregnancy. I switched to the Tarte amazonian clay 12-hour foundation which is totally safe.

Happy Hump Day you guys,

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.
