Dear readers,

my date of my final exam is approaching and I'm so busy with learning the whole stuff. But seems like it's not enough with studying, the huge project at my agency has to be done this month and a project at school have to be finished soon. We had a project like this in media school before, but last time it was about food photography.



This project also contains food, but it will be a movie project. It was a lot of fun to prepare the whole movie project at the beginning, until the end. The storyboard was the first step to plan the whole project. My team, existing of two other guys, were building up our set on the day of shooting. It was much more difficult than I thought. And it took so much attempts to get the perfect shot.




It was a mess, but I love my job and projects like this, is why I can't imagine to do something different.

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,

I always thought an artist could be able to paint on everything and everything is a canvas. But I definitely had problems to find my skills in MakeUp. I tried to figure out what is the great difference between a painting artist and an MakeUp artist. Both are handling with brushes and colours. But they are having a different brushwork. A MakeUp artist is painting on an already defined canvas, whereas a painting artist is painting on a blank page.



You move your hand very different for the brushwork. For an aquarelle picture you need slightly movement and a soft touch of colour. It feels like I can control the colour on my painting brush more than on my MakeUp brush. The colour pigments for MakeUp is very different than aquarelle. But both skills can always be improved and I love to practice everyday.

Some artist are mixing both skills and that is my next idea for my sketchbook. Painting a face with MakeUp colours. It will be definitely a great challenge.
Thank god it's friday. Maybe I can try to use the skill.

Dear readers,

I don't know if it is just me or a usual problem of everybody in my age to organize their life. It feels like it would be much better if the day has more than 24 hours. I have less time for my social and my love life lately because of my focus on my final exams and preperation for the university. There are so many things on my list I have to do.
So, it's important for me to go out on a dinnerdate with my boyfriend sometimes. After four years I'm still excited about going out with him, therefore I planned my outfit carefully. Since we were so busy on "growing up" we didn't find time to go out, so it is really something special to go on a dinnerdate.





As a minimalist I intend to choose colourless clothes and define my styling with details. Therefore I love statement rings and filigree necklaces. Actually I care a bag with me but I couldn't decide which one. The easiest accessory I immediately chose, was my red lipstick.

Dear readers,

I bought myself a whole collection of MakeUp brushes and I love them. But when I have to compare all my brushes I really have to say: Once you use high quality brushes, you'll never use something else. Even if the brushes are really good and cheap, I love the high quality brushes by Zoeva.



I got those pink brushes with a bag and I'm so in love with them. Even if there are only 5 brushes in it. The quality is uncomparable. Even on the web shop of Zoeva you could find brushes in vegan quality. The hair of the brushes are so naturally and soft.



The design is also an aspect why I always want to buy more of them. Sure, they are expensive regarding to quantity, but it it really worth it.
