Good evening to all off my happy readers,

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

it is Friday finally. I have been getting some last pieces I was missing to complete my Christmas decor and I am going to be done by the end of the weekend. Yeah for that.

So for today´s part I am sharing some cute little beauty sets to gift to your collegues, neighbours, to use as stocking stuffer or just ot keep for yourself 😉

There will be another beauty gift guide with a lot more ideas but for now I wanted to share these little and unexpensive things cause gift don´t always have to cost a lot to show someone you appreciate them.

Bare Minerals Lipstick Set

I recently got into Bare Minerals lipsticks and I have to admit I love them. The intensity of the color, the longlivity and all the gordeous colors. So I thought why not test a set out. It has half nude and half bright color kit.

EOS Lip Balm Set

This is such a cute and inexpensive gift and also one every woman needs. There are two different scents in the pack so you could also easily spread it up.

Real Techniques Brush Set

A german brand that makes great quality brushes at an awesome price point. I got my first set for my birthday about three years ago and loved them ever since. They have several different sets also for travel. Their beauty blender also is my go-to and I always have an update at home.

Rituals Set

I am gifting a bunch of these every year during the holidays as these are all awesome. The smells of all are so so good and the sizes are great for travelling. Also the gift boxes are beautiful and make a nice piece of decor or a keepsake box.

Bare Minerals Gloss and Blush Set

Such a good deal on this set. A color matching full size set including a blush and a lipgloss. I came to know Bare Minerals products during the last Sephora sale and I like them a lot. They are great quality products. A little pricey but if you wait for sale opportunities or gift sets you get a great value for your money.

MAC Lucky Star Lipstick Kit

2019´s MAC holiday collection is adorable and I love it even more than the last two. The glittery pink all over the cases and the imprinted stars on the little lipsticks are to die for. Would make a nice stocking stuffer or a great surprise for the make-up loving gal in your life.

Hope this has given you some insight on what´s out there to get for this year. There are some tried and true classics but also always new products.

Have a great weekend. See you back on Monday.

Our Christmas Card this year….

It´s finally that time of the year. The festive, cozy and holly jolly Christmas time I have been looking forward most of the year. I love Christmas. You probably know that if you are a long time reader and if you are new welcome.

We took our Christmas card pictures early this year cause I wanted a full Fall scene with all the leaves everywhere for this years Christmas card. The pictures turned out great, just how I hoped they would. After having a traditional red and plaid Christmas card last year and a burgundy one two years before I wanted a full on Fall scene card cause it is my favorite season.

I went with a forest inspired Christmas card I love very much and it totally matches our theme. In general I think 2019´s Christmas cards turned out very well and I can´t wait to send them to our friends and family.

How to wear a velvet dress + my guide to shop at SheIn…

Velvet dresses didn´t get me as excited as the rest of the fashion crowd when they came out and I wasn´t into them right away. I first thought that is such a grandma material and not flattering at all but I am sure open to be taught a better one. And I was. My first velvet piece was a gorgeous blush t-shirt I have worn so many times the last winter and spring that I can not count it. So the styling of more velvet pieces followed. I got a gold studded blazer jacket, a burnt orange skirt and this beautiful dark blue midi dress. I ordered it from SheIn and it came in time and was made of good quality and great color. Definitely gonna wear this on one of the Holidays.

I paired it with all gold accessoires and a nude faux fur jacket but it would be also really pretty if paired with silver heels and accessoires.

So let´s move on to the next topic I get several question about. Ordering pieces from the SheIn online shop. I know some of you don´t trust the shop or have read lots of bad comments or reviews but I have to say (and this post is in no way sponsored, just wanted to share my experience with you) I have never gotten one bad piece where I thought this has to go into the trash can right away. I never had a lost or forgotten order and customer service is really fast.

How is the quality? // It depends on what you get but I have to say mostly good. I really never had such a bad piece I couldn´t wear. The skirt and dresses I ordered had been lined so far. There was never a seam that opened right away or was already open. Also the sequins on differnt items are sewed on very well.

How are the prices? // I think they range from very affordable (you could say cheap as well but I really don´t like the negativity of the word) to normal. You cant get a blouse from 8 to 15 € and coats from 20 to 60 €. They also offer daily flash sales including a wide range of products and almost always discount codes to save money.

How long takes shipping? // It depends on the season. They are really busy around every holiday so be sure to place your order early

How is sizing? // Sizing can be really tricky so I wouldn´t give to much of the size comparisons they have. ALWAYS meassure. I do this everytime (had a piece that was way too small on my first order) and I have never had one that didn´t fit again. Be sure that you don´t meassure to tight. One or two centimetres don´t impair the fight or the silhouette but it can give you a little more freedom of movement.

How can I pay? // So this one is the easiest question of all. You can pay with any credit card and if you don´t have one you can pay through Paypal but you always have to pay upfront.

What else do they offer? // You can get rewards in form of points by confirming the arrival of the package and also by uploading and posting a styled picture with one of your bought articles and I think you also get points by reviewing pieces. I hope this helps a little to get rid of your concerns about bad comments. If you are still not sure about it why not order one simple piece and see if you like it.

Here are some of the pieces I got lately and loved a lot:

– olive pearl ruffled sweater
– leopard sequin pencil skirt
– 60´s inspired tie-neck sweater
– pink corderoy blazer jacket
– clear wooden handle bag
– neon pink turtleneck sweater
– fringe hem striped poncho sweater
– white eyelet blouse
– scalloped hem t-shirt (so many pretty colors available)
– sequin cami dress

And now have fun shopping.

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