My monthly beauty favorites and must-haves for September….

….

Hi guys,

happy Saturday and welcome to another monthly favorites. I haven´t done one in quite a while cause I did not have so many new products and the ones I got new I had to try out first cause otherwise I would not know what to write about to you if I did not test them first.

L´oréal Paris nailpolish in 668 bleu royale and 334 violet de nuit
The nailpolishes from L´oréal are my favorite ones ever. The quality is great. The colors are really pigmented even the very light ones and for the price of 8 Euros for one you can´t complain about a single thing. Also the packaging is pretty. The structured glass bottle with a golden cap.


Dr. Hauschka melissa balm for the day / melissa face oil for the day
I ordered a set of their clarifying prodcuts to test them out and the only thing I have used so far is the melissa balm and the melissa oil for the day. And it is great I think I like the oil even more cause it leaves a smoother and drier feeling on my skin than the balm . Just can recommend these. They are on the pricier side but they really help me since I am longtime fighter against my bad skin. I have a full post for these products when I am done testing.


NYX butter glosses in Éclair / Crème Brulée / Maple Blondie
I found these on Katey McFarlan´s Instagram story and she was recommending theme so badly that I had to have them and they are only 6 Euros so I gave them a try. I am always a little cautious with lip gloss cause I don´t like the sticky feel of the most of them. The quality is really good. The leave a soft feeling on your lips and don´t stick at all. I might get them in some darker shades as well as the light ones are not as pigmented as I thought although they are a hit.


L´oréal Paris Color Riche matte lipsticks in 103 Blush in a Rush and 349 Paris Cherry
There is not much to say about them. I love them, especially the matte ones. The colors are all so beautiful and I love to get my hands on new ones. I got a darker red for fall season and the blush shade for all the time. I hope I can get my hands on one or two of the Balmain x L ´oréal collection which is going to be released at the end of  September.


Living Proof no frizz weightless styling spray
Buying another product of their brand wasn´t intended cause I had the hairspray from the no frizz line of Living Proof and my mom did not like it all and also said it wasn´t working. She has really frizzy hair. I think she might have invented it. But I have read a great post about it on Gal meets Glam in the summer and I didn´t want to let go of the idea that this brand wasn´t working. So I gave it another shot and I am so glad I did cause it is the perfect product for me – almost couldn´t believe it. I am using this spray for second day hair after I curled them. Mostly they are standing in every direction and they tend to be pretty dry and tousled the next morning. That is the hard core case to solve for the product and it worked so well. I sprayed it on and let is set for a few minutes and my hair got shiny and soft. It was easy to comb and I could get some pretty waves from the leftover curls (otherwise I would have to make a bun out of it cause that is all that works in this case). It is a little pricey – costs about 30 Euro – but I would buy this over and over again. Incredible good.


EOS Vanilla Orchid extra hydrating hand lotion
I have found this by coincidence. I just needed a new handlotion for my handbag. I do like the EOS handbalms cause they look cute and their fragrances smell so good but they aren´t as hydrating as I would wish for. But the packaging said that it was for extra dry hands. I haven´t found it on the Internet so far so maybe you have to look at the drug store if you want it. Did not use it but the smell is really good. Somehow it already reminds me of Christmas.


Smashbox Highlighter palette
This wasn´t a planed product, in fact I was never interested in this highlighter palette. I wanted the highlighter palette from Tarte Cosmetics but they sold out and never restocked them so I searched for an alternative and I found this one. Now that I tried it out I like it a lot. I got it in the shade combination pearl and it is such a good product. The colors are so pigmented. This might last for a few years. They also have a more golden color combination too. The palette is a collaboration with a youtube beauty star and Smashbox. It costs about 37 Euro and I think it is worth every penny.


Vichy Liftactiv Yeux
I wanted to try this eye cream from Vichy for so long. Since I had read about it on Mara´s blog M loves M some months ago. But I still had an open eye cream and I wanted to use this one up first. But let´s move on to today. I ordered it from amazon (that was the only possible way to get it without heading into the mall – this brand is only sold by pharmacies in Germany).
L´oréal Paris dry shampoo
First of all I didn´t even know that L´oréal also sells dry shampoo´s. I first read about it in an beauty secrets article and I wanted to try it cause I am always on the hunt for a better dry shampoo. I love it. The product smells so incredible good and I think it doesn´t put to much white dust onto your hair.  I got some more from amazon but they are also available on Douglas.

Fall beauty – what I bought from the limited Kiko Milano fall 2.0 edition….

….

Hi guys,

if you are a long time reader you might know my obsession about fall and if you are new you will know very soon.

I recently went to Kiko, one of my favorite make-up stores and got some pieces of their adorable Fall 2.0 collection. The whole packaging and even the brush handles are in a luxurious dark blue hue. These are the prettiest pieces of a limited edition I had seen in a while and the best is they are affordable and have a good quality for the price.
The collection is inpired by the city on Venice. The make-up collection expresses the being of the city. Decadent, mysterious, luxurious and romantic. I have been to Venice twice and the collection is reflecting the city perfectly.

But let´s see what I have got. I wanted to have a matching lipliner to the lipstick I choose cause dark colors are hard to put on your lips especially if the lipstick isn´t new anymore and the tip has gotten round. I took the lip stylo lipstick in shade 04 deep kiss and the matching lipliner in 04 deep kiss. 

I also took a highlighter in the shade 01 Gold in progress with me. The color is super pigmented and so pretty. I will get a lot of use out of this. And I couldn´t resist to take one of the make-up brushes with the dark blue handles – it is the blush brush.


Are you ready for fall already?


Thanks for stopping by. 


Take care. See you.

Building up my fall wardobe with a black wool coat – double buckle booties and a gingham dress for under 150 €/$…..

….

Hi guys,

since the temps are dropping I am all about sweaters, booties, tights and of course coats. So to show you how I am staying warm and trendy I have teamed up with Zaful for today´s post.

I got this shawl belted wool blend wrap coat in the mail last week and it is the perfect addition to my wardrobe for the unpredictable fall weather. The coat is really soft and it isn´t as thick as a usual coat which I like a lot cause it isn´t too cold in the mornings and it can be pretty sunny and warm in the afternoon. The zipper details on the collar are really cool. They give a little rock chic to the coat and I really love that it has a waist belt to create a flattering silhouette. 
Be sure to check the size guide to get the right size. After meassuring I took a size L and it fits perfectly. 
I wore this pretty gingham dress underneath since gingham is still going to be a huge trend for fall and winter (and let´s be honest even if not who wouldn´t love a gingham print ?!). Paired with these double buckle suede booties from River Island, a checkered scarf and a the Rita bag from Valentino Handbags in color nudo this makes the perfect fall outfit to run errands or meetings with some friends for coffee. 

Zaful has quite a wide range if you are searching a wool wrap coat for fall. I also love this nude style for fall and wouldn´t this coat be perfect for Christmas. I love the style.

Wishing everyone a happy Friday and a nice weekend and as always thanks for stopping by. 

Take care. See you.

Fall style – a pair of denim, a cardigan and a desinger dupe t-shirt under 100 Euro….

t-shirt Missguided / jeans bonprix / shoes old similar here, here and here / cardigan Clockhouse old similar here and here / bag H&M sold out similar here and here / lips L´oréal 349 Cherry Front Row

….

Hi guys,

there is nothing bad about a simple jeans/t-shirt combination. It looks casual and put together. I have found this beautiful t-shirt on Zalando. It is from Missguided and only costs 15 Euro. But wouldn´t this look like a real Gucci from far. What do you think?
Since big print shirts are a huge trends (I also posted about them here) you can get them at almost every store but you rather order fast cause they sell out quick (I added some in widget below I also had a look at but decided to send back).

My favorite jeans style of all time is a distressed style. It looks so casual to a shirt and it does add such a coolness factor to an evening outfit with heels and a blazer jacket.

Also olive is a huge color for fall. Perfect to combine with orange and burgundy or just with a casual white or nude shirt.

Thanks for stopping by guys.

Take care. See you.
