Dear readers,

we asians celebrated lunar new year last weekend. It is the year of the rooster and I already have some resolutions for my year. Beginning with my art skills. I evolved my skills in digital arts and digitalise my preferred paintings of the category popart.



Working with forms and constant colour seems to be my favourite technique. And it's definitely easier to handle colours than handle aquarelle colours. And you work with really simple forms and a small colour palette. And the best part for myself is that I also digitalised my signature to have watermarks on my artworks.

Dear readers,

one of my best friend is always knowing what I need or what I want. She knows that I'm a passionate matte lipstick lover. And since she knows I'm a little bit disappointed of the nyx liquid lipstick collection, she bought me a matte liquid lipstick collection by theBalm.



I already own the famous theBalm nude palette, but I never heard of liquid lipsticks of the before. The collection includes all the red tones I actually wear and they'rr so handy you could take them everywhere in every kind of bags.



From left to right I sort them from dark to light.

1. The first colour "Loyal" is perfectly for go clubbing. The dark red is on point and comparable with colour of red whine.
2. The colour "Dedicated" is a mix of classic red and dark pink
3. "Charming" is comparible as a mix of nude and a dark pink tone. I wear them on dates with my boyfriend.
4. "Sincere" is the light version of "Charming". The perfect tone for daily MakeUp.
5. Nude tones are my favourite for office, school and lunch with my girls. "Committed" is therefore absolutely recommendable.
6. Last but not least, "Doting" is a very light colour for me. I actually never wear it before.

These are filled with 1,2ml colour, so you actually can buy them in larger size (7,4ml). But I like this size as mentioned before, because they're handy and it is more fun to test more colours. The consistence is awesome and it doesn't even dry out your lips. But maybe that's the point because after eating the liquid lipstick is gone and I have to reapply them.

Dear readers,

I spent very less money on clothes lately, because of my full wardrobe. Actually, I should tidy out my wardrobe and I already started to sell clothes on a german seller platform KleiderKreisel. Most of the pieces I want to sell are coloured or have patterns. My sense of fashion changes a lot and I tend to buy more classic pieces which I can really wear in variations of combinations and still look different than the mainstream fashion.

I found a lot of classic and cute pieces at Stradivarius and as they are having sale right now, I couldn't resist to buy some clothes even if I need to save money.

Stradivarius is known for love for details and not only the details are lovely about their clothes. The materials are wonderful comfortable to wear.

Dear readers,

what do you got for Christmas? I got a lot of MakeUp products, but I didn't even try them out, so it's time to test them. The first products I tried out are the contouring palettes and the eye shadow palette I got from NurBesten. If you forget which ones I mean just read my Review 2.0 about those products. These products are perfect to create a natural winterlook.



So, the first problem I have to face are my asian eyes. I'm not very good in eye shadowing, so I needed a tutorial first, but most of them have european eyes. And the asian eyes are mostly too small. I have round and big almond eyes. The easiest way is shadowing the eye wings with a dark colour and spread a light colour on the lid. Some glitter and a mid colour to blend it all.

Contouring is much easier with my face. I have round shaped face and the aim of contouring my face is getting a smaller face. In addition, I put on a tea rose coloured matte lipstick by nyx et voilà my winterlook is perfect. It looks nearly natural and my skin is not irritated by too much MakeUp on my face.

Dear readers,

my motto for 2017 is definitely ”Do what you love”! 2016 was a year full of resolutions and I was tired to fail and tired to force myself into something. I don't need to force myself to be creative. I don't have to force myself into sport and healthy eating. This year I will do it if I want to do it. I want to feel more confident.



My first step of confidence is cutting my long unhealthy hair. I really miss having long hair. With this idea I started to draw myself. Considering my motto of doing what I love, I draw myself in my favorite position with my long hair.



Using simple tools just a pencil and a black fineliner while I laying in my bed eating unhealthy fast food. Long live the laziness!
