Dear readers,

I discover my love to photography and I thought about buying a new camera since my last one got lost. A lot of bloggers are already using high-end cameras for their blog, but for me my smartphone camera is mostly enough, since the technology for smartphone cameras are comparable to system cameras. Of course not as good as reflex cameras, but also high quality, if you know how to use it and how to edit your pictures.

I tried out HDR photography with my iPhone 6S. iPhones are already having cameras with 12 megapixels. The tricky part is to edit the picture to a HDR photography. HDR stands for High Dynamic Range and the pictures seem very strong and dynamic.



This picture was taken last year on Fraser Island, Australia.
There are two ways to produce HDR photography. The first way is to take a lot of pictures of the same motive and assemble all of them with the function of Photoshop. It will automatically produce a HDR photo of all the merged pictures.

But if you only took one picture there is also a possibility in Photoshop to create an artificial HDR. I tried out this method and I had all the control of the tones and lights / shades of the picture. To compare the difference between the picture:



If you need more help or a tutorial just contact me. It's really impressive how you could change the appealing of a picture with some functions.

Dear readers,

the last phase of studying begins and I have to finish my project at work. I'm just sitting in front of my desktop and thinking a lot about vacation and beach. The nearest beautiful beach I know is only a couple of hours away. And it's still shitty weather here in germany. We've got may and it's still 10° outside. So, all I've got are my memories and fantasy.

I want beach so bad, but I have to think about my personal price limit and the cold weather in europe. And like I mention the next beautiful beach is just a couple of hours away. Maybe I will take a trip to the place where I was with Niclas in 2015. My birthday present for him a short trip to Amsterdam, where we also visited some of the beach places in the netherlands.



It was cold and windy. But the sun shined a lot. I love the fresh ocean breeze, it makes me feel a lot better and filled me with more power. The best part was the small cafés at the beach, where you can enjoy delicious coffee or hot chocolate. I remember some good restaurants there either. I told my mum about my thoughts and she just had the idea to celebrate the birthday of my father there. My family has a personal relation to wonderful netherlands.



I just can't wait until exam period is over and I can focus on looking for the next trip. But priority is my career, so I have to focus on exams and study. But I am pretty jealous of all my friends who are in vacation right now enjoying the sun and the beach.

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.
