Current Beauty Routine

I tend to use the same products over a long period of time and don’t seem to change things up too much although I do add or exchange some products. Currently I am using general things, nothing too exciting. Shampoo, toothpaste, showergel, hairspray… the usual. My newest product is the Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Eye cream (blogpost about this here). I enjoy all of these products and I like the results they have. I am really loving the Vineyard Peach...

Friends

Old love, new fire! Back in the day when Friends was actually on tv, or new on dvd or video or whatever was the thing in those days I din’t watch it. Only a few years ago I got hooked onto it. Season 1 & 2 were my laughs in the morning when I had breakfast during my time in Bali. Because I recently moved to Berlin I still have to settle in- I still do not have internet in my room! So being at home without internet is quite boring, let me tell...

Calcium and Magnesium Deficiency

Because I don’t drink or eat dairy and am also not great on the fish or meat front I need additional calcium and magnesium to keep me healthy. I have found that these pills from pure encapsulations are quite easy to add into your diet and the body takes them quite good. It does say on the bottle that you should take 2x2 tablets per day but I only take one with breakfast. After a hard workout or something I do take additional magnesium powder that...

Kiehl's Midnight Eye Recovery

So many people have raved about this eye cream- especially TalkBeckyTalk. It is quite pricey and I was still contemplating buying the Shiseido Eye Cream (previous blogpost here) but there was a Kiehl’s shop here in Berlin so I went in to see it. The girl showed me a different one first, that was more oil based and also the one from the Men section which has a cooling effect but nevertheless I went with the Midnight Recovery. I haven’t...

Healthy Breakfast

I am normally not the person that eats very healthy. I am just too lazy to cook vegetables every day or eat fruit all the time- my main nourishment is pasta, my greatest love of all times. Thank the Lord for the Italians!! But yeah, not too healthy eater. However, I do enjoy some fruit from time to time, especially strawberries or any type of berries for that matter. I’ve been buying strawberries and blueberries here quite frequently....

Travel sized minis

I love everything mini - but doesn't everybody. As you might know I have moved places and am now living in Berlin, for the summer at least. I thought it'd be pointless bringing full sized bathroom essentials with me since I can buy them in Berlin anyway. So I went out and bought travel sized things and had to contain myself not to buy every single thing the store had. I picked up toothpaste, deodorant, hairspray (which I absolutely love!...

The Body Shop Splurdge

I recently signed up to become a Body Shop Member (http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk) or whatever it's called. Now I get emails with deals and sales all the time- last week I got a 50% SALE email. Oh dear.... I tried to keep it together and don't go too crazy and I think I did quite well. I picked up the Shower Gel in the scent Early-harvest Raspberry and Vineyard Peach. I loved the peach scent so much I picked up a body mist in the same...

Kedem Dead Sea Nail Kit

I have bought this Dead Sea Nail Kit a bit before Christmas last year. It consists of a special nail buffer, cuticle oil and a hand cream. Kedem Cosmetics is a UK base company that have specialized their products on Dead Sea salt minerals and extracts. All of the products are ISO certified and free of raven and animal ingredients. Also they do not test on animals. The products are quite pricey but the quality is really good obviously. I got this...

Filofax Organizer

I tend to be a very organized person anyway but I got this Filofax (www.filofax.co.uk) for my 18th birthday and I absolutely love it! It is probably one of the most used things throughout my day. I sometimes carry it around with me in my bag because the size is quite handy and it's not too heavy. However, I do have all my dates and meetings in my iPhone too so in case I don't have my Filofax at hand I am not completely lost. This particular Filofax...

What's in my bag?!

I have recently bought a new bag because my all time favourite bag is pink. I am certain I will do a What’s in my bag with that one soon since I absolutely adore it! But yes, I bought this Suede Cross Body Bag from Mango (€39.99) and I really like it because it has suede leather in the front and normal leather in the back. It also has this massive tassle which is fancy. I always have a packet of tissues in all of my bags, followed by...

Shiseido Eye Cream

I have been giving a sample of this eye cream and instantly fell in love with it. The texture is amazing and you only need the tiniest amount to cover your eyes. I tend to cream my eyes with this in the morning and before bed. I take it all under my eyes (to get rid of dark circles, as it advertises) and up on my eyelids and under my eyebrows.  I am so amazed at how good the results were. It made my eyes look so more rested and bright...

Dolce & Gabbana no 6

I haven't had a real signature scent to me ever. I was quite enjoying the Tommy Hilfiger Tommy Girl perfume and then switched to a lighter flowery scent from Puma. During my travels a goof friend used the Dolce & Gabbana Number 6 L'amoureux and I absolutely loved it on her! When I was back at home I decided that I would like to have that particular scent and went into town to buy it. Dolce & Gabbana have a range of scents in this collection....

Moving cities

I am studying in Vienna and am now living in Berlin temporarily for the summer because I am doing my internship at a hotel here. Since I've been travelling for a whole year and in general don't have a problemw ith adapting to a different environment I don't find that moving away from "home" into a different city is such a big deal.  Finding housing from Austria has been a pain in the bum, excuse my French, but I did eventually find a place to stay. I am really excited to explore a city from the bottom up once again. There is nothing like...

Sephora Foundation and Powder Review

I have never used foundation or powder since my skin is very fair and I seldom  have breakouts. I din’t like the idea of plastering my face with stuff and quite frankly I am a very lazy person so the thought of having to wash all of that off at the end of the day was not very applealing to me.  However, I did go and buy a foundation and powder at my “local” Sephora in France because I thought it’s time for me to get started on these...

Syoss Dry Shampoo Review

I haven't tried any dry shampoo before- this is the first one! I didn't quite understand the idea of it. Not washing your hair and just spraying it with something so that it doesn't look disgusting was not very appealing to me. Estée from Essiebutton had a whole review about good and bad dry shampoos. She has a whole video on How To Use Dry Shampoo and mentioned a few different shampoos in there. I wanted to go and buy the Dove...

Non Beauty Favourites May 2014

As much as I like beauty I have a whole load of non beauty favourites because let’s face it- food is my all time number one! First of all! Oh my god. My parents were over in the UK for a week and I was so jealous I couldn’t go with them so I basically forced them to buy me at least some hot cross buns (not Easter without hot cross buns!) and jelly babies. I might be getting too old for jelly babies with 21 now, but hey, who cares that stuff...

May Beauty Favourites 2014

Time to recollect myself and think about all the things I have been loving this last month! My Guerlain blush in the colour Golden High is my absolute favourite at the moment. It has the rosy lighter pink shade and the darker peachy shade. Combined they just look amazing but I have hit pan on the dark shade already even though I only got this for Christmas so I’m a bit freaked out at the moment. Anyway, I have been wearing the lighter shade by...
