Dear readers,

since summer won't arrive Germany, I was really happy about the package I received by Zaful. They send me two cute summer playsuits and they are incredibly lovely. Zaful celebrate its 3rd anniversary and there are so many cute pieces they're adding to their collections and the prices are invincible mainly with all the sales action.

Actually I planned to wear them on a photoshooting outdoor, but as we all know the weather right now in Germany, it was way too wet to get outside in a summer playsuit. I was so disappointed, but my sister said it will look great indoor as well and I have to write the review about it soon.



The first playsuit I want to present is in light blue. It has huge bell sleeves, it own belts and it's shoulder free. It looks so adorable mainly when I combine it with my beige sandals and my cute bag with cords. The negative aspect of this playsuit is the material. It is rough and needs to be ironed as you can see. But I really like the look though, so it wouldn't mind me too much to iron it, if I wear it, although I really hate ironing.

The second one is a floral chiffon beauty. Actually I'm not really a floral pattern fan and I'm more the black, grey & white type, but the color of this playsuit is so adorable and really matching to my taste. I love the cut and the material a lot. And there are so many options to combine this playsuit, but in the end you will always look adorable and girly. Mainly in the wedding season of the year. And for these events it is always important to feel comfortable in your outfit and as on wedding I love to eat, this outfit will still be on point.

As I mentioned before they're having sale right now because of their 3rd year anniversary and there are so many stuff to look at for example "rose dress". They are as cute as my playsuits.

But there are way more to browse through. Just convince yourself.

Dear readers,

the brand Ideal of Sweden was launching their summer collection and I was so happy to try out the summer cases. I already have the luck to try them out before and I wrote a review about the marble cases. As I said the quality is amazing, so I wasn't surprised as I received them. Beautiful as always and really stable to protect your phone. Sweden is really known for minimalistic and chic design and the cases reflect these aspects.



The summer selection is colourful with and even me, the uncolourful person, found some interesting designs. I choose these two cuties because the pastel tones convinced me. The blue marbled case "Island Paradise Marble" reminds me a lot of waves and the beach. So I decided to took this case with me and take pictures with it at the baltic sea.



The other case "Floral Romance" is really girly, but the floral patterns is definitely beautiful. It matches to every outfit and I loved to take it with me as I'm going out with my girls on minimalistic heels and my favourite small bag by DKNY.



There are a lot more cases with summer motives but go online and see for yourself. Not to mention having 30% off with my code!

Dear readers,

I heard about this MakeUp brand before and how good it is, but I never thought how good it really is. Ever heard of MakeUp Revolution? They have a great selection of palettes and I have to test them. The most important aspect buying palettes for is that they have to be pigmented and I decided to try out two different palettes. And I tried to create two different looks only using these two palettes.



The first palette I want to present is the ultra rouge palette golden sugar. I don't use it only for rouge, it is also good as a contouring palette and hihglighter. And that's not enough, you can use the light shimmer shades as eye shadow. Added to this, I don't need to mention the price. The palette golden sugar only has one colour which is not shimmering. The rest is really light and golden with a lot of shimmer exactly how I like it. I don't like to use it as rouge really because rouge needs to be blushing my cheeks and giving it a healthy colour.





The ultra flawless matte palette is absolutely stunning. I use it as addition to my favourite eye shadow palette the Naked 2 by Urban Decay. As mentioned before the colours are really pigmented and they're matching perfectly to my skin and are highlighting my eyes.


            

My first look is natural. I like to let my face glow with a natural teint by highlighting my cheeks for higher cheek bones look. And as I am having a pancake face I like contour my face skinnier and oval. To make the natural look interesting I focus on my eyes. I really love the form of my eyes, so I highlight the inner corner and darken the outer corner, for more defined eyes. For the light inner corner I use a color of the golden sugar palette and for the dark tones I use the eye shadow palette.

The nightout look needs more definition and I focus on lips, dark eyes and contouring. For the lips I use the base of the eye shadow palette. A really good alternative when you are missing your lip pencil. Only need a primer oil on the brush. The same palette I use for the eyes and my contouring. Only the dark parts of course. For the final shimmer look I use the golden sugar palette.

I just can recommend to buy them. The price is invincible and the quality is unbelievable high. And the best part is that they're having multi functions.

Dear readers,

I posted about this necklace once, but the post got some code problems so I have to make a new post about it. I am a huge fan of statement necklaces. They have to be big and glamorous, but statement necklaces have the problem that they're not matching with some classy outfits. So now I am fully into simple statement necklaces. My friend Sandra present me a beautiful simple statement necklace for my birthday, which is really one of my favourites at the moment. And I was more happy about the package by NurBesten I received with a simple statement necklace in it.



I only wear golden jewelry. This golden necklace with triangle is really cute and can be combined with every outfit. It also can be combined with other necklaces or with a black choker. And the lavalier is absolutely a trend.

Dear readers,

for about 4-5 weeks ago I received a huge package from gofeminin with test samples for a new product by bebe. I often take the chance to test new products but usually they're sending small test samples, but this time I was overwhelmed. I received 2 samples of the new cleansing mask in original size and additional smaller test samples to share it with friends.



After a month now I finally have the chance to write a review about this new product. During the testing phase I saw the products advertisment on TV and I was excited about the fact that I have the chance to test it.

As the cleansing mask is in a tube, the application is very simple. It has the typical texture of cleansing mask with peeling particles. My first impression was honestly not very good. It is a one minute cleansing mask directly after the shower. So for me personally it's not really a mask at all. I am standing for cleansing peeling-off mask, because I think they're really working. Those one minute thing are often useless.



But after a month now I am really surprised and the cleansing mask by bebe becomes my routine after the shower now. As I mentioned before, the application is really easy. I apply the cleansing mask while I'm showering so I can wash it off directly. Sometimes I wait one minute sometimes I don't but it still has its effect. My skin is really smooth and soft right now. I never use face cream, because I'm one of the person who doesn't really needs cream. I already have really smooth skin, but sometimes for example in winter I need face cream for more moisture. But with the cleansing mask I don't even need a skin care base for my foundation. And in addition I shower at the evening, so I extend the function of the cleansing mask as makeup remover.

And at least I am delighted by the smell. It isn't too strong. It has the typical "bebe scent" with a note of citrus fruit. I can recommend to test it out, because as I mentioned. For me it's not really a mask, but it has its effect. I also share my test samples with friends and family and they all have different opinions on this cleansing mask. But more than a half thinks it makes the skin soft and smooth and that is the important part for us.

Dear readers,

every women has her own favourite brand of lipstick, favourite kind of lipstick and fvourite colour. In my case there are brands like MAC, nyx or theBalm, I can't decide between liquid lipsticks or original lipsticks or maybe creamy palettes and colours are most complicated to choose. I compare every shades of red and every shades of nudes, but I can't decide for one favourite. I prepared myself for a shooting and I got a liquid lipstick with the colour "driver's seat" by smashbox and oh my gosh! Fuck yeah! I love this lipstick and I really mean it.



The shade is between red and nude. And the texture is amazing! It's not to dry like nyx Lingerie series and not to wet like Hudabeauty's liquid lipstick. It feels like a second skin on my lips and after eating, drinking, kissing a whole night out, it was still on my lips. For real, I'm never delighted like this before and I definitely have to buy other shades. And there it is the disadvantage. It is about 30€ per 4ml lipstick, but hey it's worth it!



I will never ever live without you any longer. My best friend. My love. My favourite lipstick.
Don't tell my boyfriend!

Dear readers,

may begins and I already know it will be a stressful month for me. My final exams are beginning and I'm already in my studying phase. But I can still enjoy the lovely breeze of spring. Cherry blossoms are growing everywhere and the sun tries to fight against dark clouds.

I'm delighted though, because I know summer is coming soon and I discover the perfect fragrance for the passage between spring and summer. It is definitely my favourite perfume at the moment.



Bvlgari fragrances are popular for their charming and fresh smell. I got my Bvlgari Omnia Crystalline at ParfumGroup for a very good price. I already got one fragrance there before and I have to recommend them again. Their prices are invincible and their palette of fragrances contain the most popular perfumes.

But why am I so in love with Omnia Crytalline? Even it's not eau de parfum it lasts the whole day. The smell is very soft and feminine. My mum told me it has asian character with bamboo and lotus flower essence. But for me it's just flowery and fresh.



I at least put this fragrance on, on my pre-birthday dinner with a fluffy jacket in salmon with my favourite mini bag by Valentino. The best part was to choose the matching MakeUp to the perfume. Nude tones and a lot of highlighter. With this perfume I just can smile through life even in hard times as exam period.

Dear readers,

if anyone asks me which beauty product I can't live without are definitely lipsticks. The problem is I'm a little bit unorganized and sometimes I can't find specific colour when I really want to use them.



I got this wonderful lipstick organizer by NurBesten. It is squared and clear made of plastic. The simple and transparent design makes it fit to every dressing table in every colour.



It can be use as nail storage or other squared MakeUp products as well, but for brushes it could be to small. Long brushes will fall out. But I use it for my lipsticks. I like to order them by colour and brands. Unfortunately, I have a lot of lipsticks, so I just store my very favourites to pick them easily and fast.

Dear readers,

once a year I feel special getting all the attention I need on one day. Next week it will be my 24th birthday and yes. I feel pretty old right now. My younger me would definitely disappointed about my life and she would ask me where my big house, my sport car, my husband and my children are. I'm still studying and it feels like it will never end.



But I feel special though. Especially, when my sister is preparing everything. And mostly, I'm delighted by her birthday presents for me. Of course, like every year she gifted me MakeUp. She always knew what I want or like to have. Last year it was these shiny MAC highlighter and bronzer.



It was the perfect present I could get. I love shiny and glittery highlighter and the bonzer matches perfectly to my teint. It is also glittery, but not as much as the highlighter. The bronzer is also used as blush because the colour blends my skin so well, I don't even need to use blushes any more.



I really like the quality of MAC cosmetics. It lasts for hours and even days. My boyfriend is already bugged about the glitter all over my face and even on his face. Glitter and shiny everywhere. That's how I like my highlighter.

Can't wait to unpack my birthday presents this year. Stay tuned!

Dear readers,

I discover my passion for lovely scents and I had to check out new fragrances. I will start this serie with the fragrance j'adore by Dior. I get mine at Parfumgroup. I already compare the prices with other shops and I was surprised about the differences. I can only recommend to buy high quality fragrances here to a really good price.



Although it's “eau de parfum” the scent is very light and not too strong. It is a floral scent and I love to wear it to a brunch with my girls. The perfect look has to be natural and it matches perfectly to this beautiful spring weather. Maybe a rosé mid-skirt matching to golden eye-shadow and sweet curls will give the matching look to this fragrance.

The bottle is very simple designed. The shape is round and feminine. Especially the golden detail of the neck-bottle got my attention. It reminds me of the african women who wears long golden necklaces as a symbol for beauty.



I am so delighted by this perfume, I just can recommend to try out j'adore by Dior.

Dear readers,

I have to make some bugfixes on my blog and so I decided to prepare a relaunch of my relaunch. Don't worry I'm still preparing posts. Today I tried out the popular silicon pads I got from NurBesten nearly every blogger are trying out and I thought I have to have them.



My experience with the beauty blender wasn't really good at the beginning. My first beauty blender I got was by dm, a german drugstore. It is very soft, but it doesn't really apply my makeup very well. I used the trick by Kylie Jenner to water the beauty blender before and it really works much better.




The silicon pads works without water. And the huge advantage of silicon pads is like every blogger already said: it doesn't absorb you makeup, so you don't raste any makeup like the beauty blender. NurBesten sends me three sizes to cover any situations.




I'm still using my beauty blender, but the silicon pads are getting indispensable. Tomorrow it's the birthday of my boyfriend. I have to get back to my cake I'll bake for him. Don't miss the new design of my blog very soon.

Dear readers,

since the GLOW – BeautyConvention I know about the MakeUp brand bh cosmetics. They seem very cheap for a high quality brand, but unluckily, we didn't have any chance to try out the products at the BeautyCon because of the long queue. Carli Bybel and Ashley Tisdale were the latest celebrities collaborating with bh cosmetics and I thought I have to try out some products.



A disadvantage of the shop is nearly everything interesting like brushes or liquid lipsticks were sold out. So I just order some palettes and payed only 41€ for everything.



The colors of this nude palettes are so adorable I have to buy them. Of course the consistence of them are not good as my favourite Naked palette by Urban Decay, but after a while and some little tricks I have to say the palette is really beautiful and some colours could be used as blush or highlighter as well.




The Illuminate palettes contains highlighter, eyeshadow and blush. I bought it as a birthday gift, so I couldn't try it out. But the highlighter palette is my absolute favourite of my order. Even if it didn't last too long on your skin the colours are perfectly for every skin type. And the rest of it you can use as eyeshadow. I make it last long with fixing sprays or with help of applying vaseline first.



And at least they sometimes send you little presents like this eyeshadow palette. I won't use it, so it makes a perfect present for birthdays or Christmas. For the price, the products of bh cosmetics are really recommendable although I prefer to try out the liquid lipsticks and the brushes collection of them.

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,

the last days of November has begun and I experienced the pre-stage of stress of december madness. December is one of the most stressful month of the year. The last projects has to be done and published and beside work everyone gets crazy thinking of buying christmas presents.

This year I made it pretty easy for me. I already bought all of the Christmas presents for my family and friends, so I just have to focus on work and my studies. On top of that, the OnlineShop NurBesten send me a Pre-Christmas gift. Thank you so much I was so happy about these products!



A full smooth contouring pallet and glitter highlighter eye-shadow which are matching perfectly to my Christmas outfit. I just can recommend the contouring pallet. No matter which skin colour you have, at least two of the colour will match to you. And it is so easy to apply. Whether with a normal brush or a beautyblender. My secret trick is to put on oil primer firstly on a beautyblender. It will make your color shine and smooth on your face.

The eye-shadow is nearly as good as the Naked pallet by Urban Decay. And the colour are basics so really everyone can wear it. The most lightest colour can even use as highlighter. I really like the texture of this eye-shadow. It is not too powdery so it won't destroy your face foundation., but it last for so long. I can't find any negative points on these products and I definitely have to buy them again after mine will be depleted.If oyu want to buy them as well, just don't forget to use my code: TTDD10
You'll get 10% off!

As Christmas is conimg soon, I will post some Christmas gift ideas and of course my Christmas outfit. Today I will make the first step for my Christmas outfit.
Just one small tip about it: Goodbye long hair!

Dear readers,

before I went on my trip with my boyfriend I received a package by Max Factor. I was one of the 700 tester for their new product the Epic False Lash Mascara. My first impression of this mascara is the packaging. It was simple in gold on the outside but with a very special brush on the inside. The form of the brush was unusual for a mascara brush, but it said with its special form the brush is able to seperate the lashes clearly and makes it looks much longer like the false lashes effect.



I am surprised. Definitely. It really works. The texture is soft and not too massive what means you only need on layer to get the effect. It makes your lashes for about 2 cm longer and my absolute favourite; it makes it super curvy without an eyelash curler.



And the unique brush is definitely recommendable. It seperates my lashes perfectly and give my lashes extra length. It is super easy to handle, I didn't have any problem to apply with this special brush. I have to say I never use the brand Max Factor so much before. It's obviously affordable. I definitely have a crush on this mascara and it's absolutely one I would buy again. And yes. I can't find a negative point.
