Carpisa – an Italian brand…

Hi guys,

don´t we all agree that Italians make the most beautiful shoes and handbags. So it is no suprise that they brought a brand like this to us – CARPISA.

I first found this store a few years ago when I had been to Verona in Italy. They didn´t always have it there because I had been there before and I would have recognized it. So we went there last year as we visited Lago di Garda which is pretty close to Verona (about 45 minutes away).

It was pretty clear that I had to get back to one of their stores during our vacation this year too cause they have lots and I had seen some bags on their online store I was pretty interested in but I wanted to see them in live first.

So glad there is a big store located in Bolzano.

Those are my finds which I absolutely love and some outfit pics how I styled the bags I got last year.

Rusha – color metal gun – love the color, so trendy at the moment and the shape is so nice. In fact it has lots of storage and you can wear it by using the short handles or the strap.

Gifa – color turquoise – had my eye on this a long time cause the color is just so bold and beautiful. I couldn´t decide between the two available shapes first but I took the smaller one cause it is still big enough.

Exile Summer – color white – wasn´t sure about this one first but when I saw it in person it totally had me. The turquoise stones and the studs are just so beautiful.

matching belt – color white – I always wanted a matching belt to a bag I own.

Also got the cutest bag charms a tassel for the Gifa crossbody and a little bag in a pastel yellow shade (but unfortunately I can´t find them in their online store).

All of the bags are so gorgeous and so detailed and I almost couldn´t decide which one to choose. It always takes me a long time to decide. I am so glad Florian is so

They also have a collection where Penelope Cruz designed a few pieces for and with them. Those pieces are also really pretty but they sell out very fast.

The whole collection includes leather and non-leather bags (and they sell suitcases as well now) so they really do have bags for every taste and wallet and have you seen the little turtle all over their products. This is the cutest brand logo I have seen in a while.

Thanks for stopping by.

Take care. See you.

Best of primer – concealer – foundation – an unbeatable trio….

Hi guys,

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

today´s post is long overdue but I had to try out everything first cause I am never showing stuff I didn´t try before.

I am showing you my favorite make-up products for a fresh and even look on your face. These are my absolute favorites so I am always rotating around these ones. It is all about foundation, primer, concealer and highlighter today.

So let´get this started….

prep and prime

Preparation is everything for a succesful base. I am currently using the L´oréal Hydra Genius face lotion. I don´t need a thick and heavy face lotion for summer to stay hydrated so this is perfect.

After that I am applying this primer called matte face base from Kiko Milano to my face. This is the best primer I have ever tried. It has a super thick consistency when you apply it but that goes away pretty quick and your make-up is staying and important for me it is staying matte. And it smells so good.

Another one I have tried is the Infailable Primer from L´oréal Paris. It is in the same price range. It is not as thick as the Kiko one and the smell isn´t as good but it is alright and it leaves a smooth feel on your skin.

cover and hide

Next step is to apply my concealer – I know it is highly discussed if you need to apply it first or after make-up, I apply it before but you can do whatever is right for you – the L´oréal Infailable Total Cover palette. It has multiple shades also a green one to erase blemishes. The coverage is pretty good. I can use the first two shade for winter and summer. It goes on pretty smooth.

I am also using the Full Coverage Concealer from Kiko. It has kind of a hard consistency so I am using this mostly for under my eyes or for spots I need to cover.

My foundation is currently from Dior. It is the Diorskin Forever foundation in color 030. It is a little pricey but in my opinion it is worth every cent. It has a shine control which I appreciate very much and it also has SPF which is pretty important since I don´t have SPF in my face lotion. The foundation sets in very nice and it is buildable without having a mask effect.

I also love the Vichy Dermablend foundation so much. I am using the color 25 Nude. The foundation leaves a total matte effect and it lasts pretty long. It is teint correcting which I like very much and you can cove almost everything you want to hide.

I have also been using the HD Liquid Coverage Foundation from Catrice as a back up. It is a low price drug store foundation but in my opinion it is pretty good.

For summer month or when I am on vacation I am only using a BB creme. Mine is the Garnier Miracle Skin BB Creme in the light shade. I had one from Manhattan earlier but I didn´t not like it at all.

To get everything set I am using the 2in1 Perfect Teint Powder from Manhattan in Sunbeige at the moment and in Beige in the winter months. I have been using the like forever and I still like it. It has more coverage than a normal powder cause of the 2in1 which I really need. And it also has a mattifying effect.

define and shine

My favorite blushes are the Maybelline Rouge and Highlighter Palette and the essence Mosaic blush and one of my absolute favorite palette is from Kiko Milano (it smells like white chocolate and also looks like this).

Two of the highlighters I am using are from Catrice. The Catrice Eyeshadow Highlighter Pen and the Catrice Glow Highlighter Powder. Both of them are very pigmented so you better use them with caution unless you want to be very sparkly and shimmery.

I also use the face pearls from AVON in the pearly pink shade. This is a mixture between a blush and a highlighter. I really love this one cause you get the perfect mix when you are applying it.

The third highlighter I am using is the NYX born to glow Illuminator. It is kind of a paste and I first had to get used to it. But now I really like it. I am mostly using it for my eyes.

set and go
I am always switching between the Kiko Milano setting spray (the smell is so good) and the nyx Matte finish setting spray . They are both pretty equal.

These are my top make up products I am using over and over again.

Do you have any staple procuts you love ?

Thanks for stopping by.

Take care. See you.

Look Book – lace t-shirt / scalloped Hallhuber shopper / Esprit flower skirt / metallic mules….

Hi guys,

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

I really like wearing a pretty baby blue shade so this outfit was right up my alley. I love all the different colors from the skirt cause you can easily work with them. So I combined it with a pair of metallic mules in a bronze shades. I love metallics lately. Also got a pair of golden ones and pair of silver sandals which I am obsessed with.

But let´s talk about this bag (I have mentioned it a few weeks ago on my Casual Saturday post as I got it), doesn´t it look a little cloud in this light blue shade and with this scalloped detailing all around the brim. And the bamboo handle is so cool. It is from Hallhuber it comes in 5 different colors. It also has an adjustable longer strap but I rarely use it.

So how was your weekend ? Our Mexican evening went great and the rest of the weekend was just working out, cleaning up and enjoyed each others company. This week is way more laid back and in fact I couldn´t be happier about it.

Thanks for stopping by.

Take care. See you.

Casual Saturday #12….

Hi dolls and happy happy Saturday,

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

this was a rough week. In fact we only had one evening off but we made the most out of it. I am hosting a fun mexican eveinig tomorrow and I am really planing on building up a fun tablescape.

We really didn´t do a lot of stuff which you would be interested.

I had line dance on Monady and Wednesday and my usual dancing lesson on Tuesday. And I started to go to the gym so I had a guiding in on Friday.

Food:
It was so hot this week so I only made cold and easy food.

I made this awesome cauliflower pizza.

We also tried this inside out coffee I have found on Mara´s blog M loves M. It is a really cool idea to make ice cubes from your coffee and fill in the rest with cold milk. Such a cool idea for a hot day.

Shop:
This had been a week full of stress so there wasn´t to much going on in this category.

I have found this super cut crossbody bag from Mango with this round metal handle. It is called the Zina bag and available in black and this creme shade and it looks pretty familiar to a high-end designer bag.

I also got this clock for my office. I like the wooden / metal mix and I think this is going to look pretty good behind my desk.

The last thing I got was this hairspray for my mom. It is the Living Proof Control Hairspray and it should control your hair so it is not getting frizzy.

TV:
The new Game of Thrones episode was live on Monday and of course we watched it and I must admit we forgot so much that was happening. Maybe there exists a summary somewhere so we can update a little.
I also watched The Bachelorette on Wednesday – in fact only the last 40 minutes – and I can´t believe that they are already going on the dream dates. It fells like it has just started.

So that´s it for this week. I am now pre cooking and decorating for tonight.

Hope you are all having a nice weekend.

Thanks for stopping by.

Take care. See you.
