Hey guys,
hope you are all well :)
Over here it has reached 39°C on sunday... 39!! I was in Hamburg that day and was literally melting away...
I went there because my bestest moved there and invited us to her housewarming/ birthday party.
So, as I knew it would be make-up melting time I put on some Vichy Lumière tinted moisturiser and mineral powder by Art Deco. The thing was... the tinted moisturiser was not EXACTLY my skin colour... in fact I am fair and IT was orange...!
It said that you should use a teeny tiny amount of it to add some tan to your face and it doesn't matter that you are fair, you look glowy and ravishing...WELL!
A few times it actually worked, I looked tanned and not like a member of Jersey Shore.
But on that sunday... oh dear! I arrived after a 2 hour journey on the top floor of her appartment bloc, completely hot and - ok let's say it- sweaty as hell. So when I came in she said: Oh my, your face is red!
When I looked in the mirror I realised it was not the heat... it was the moisturiser.
So I PRETENDED I didn't realise I was the queen of the tangerine's and sat down casually in the living for half an hour, as you do, before CASUALLY I went to my bag, grabbed my baby wipes (saviour mine) and my powder (actually my REAL colour) and rushed to the bath...
What did I do afterwards? Yes chuck away that bloody stuff into the never-come-back bin.
So don't believe what they say in adverts, on the internet etc. PLEASE always use your own skin tone. If you on the other hand prefer that look... well, orange away!
What I should add, there is a new BB-cream on the market, the one by Mabelline... same problem! Rosey skin tone? No taste for orange extravaganza? Please do not buy!
Anyone of you had a similar experience?
That was it for now,
hope you have a lovely day! ;)

My very first Glossybox!
Hello there,
well was I excited when I ordered my first Glossybox in life... :). We have our own Glossyboxes in Germany, their facebook-page even says it is originally a German product or idea rather, which was completely new to me.
I think most of you will not know all the brands I will post on here - neither do I :D - but I think it is still very interesting what other countries put into the Glossybox, so here it is in all its glory...
Pretty, isn't it? ;) The pink cardboard box makes me happy already
Here open with the contents...
At first I wasn't sure if I should reaally order Glossyboxes... I mean I love the idea of you getting products of different brands, high-end as well as drugstore. But still...
I have to admit now... I adooore it!!! Even the pink box itself smells gorgeous (yes call me crazy) of expensive cardboard. I think as well that I love the box the most, no matter what content :D
But enough of the rambling here is what I got:
Alessandro Pedix Feet Hell Rescue Balm: with Sheabutter, Allantione and Tea Tree Oil in a handy travel size.
Astor Big & Beautiful Ultra Volume Mascara: As far as I know Heidi Klum advertises for it... not exactly a reason for me to buy it but anyway. It has a big fibrebrush to spread (do you say spread with mascara?) as much mascara as possible on the lashes. I tried it, nice and non clumpy, but I shall give it another try.
Avène Réflexe Solaire SPF 50+: Which is a sunscreen also in travel size.
C:EHKO Balsam Fluid Plus: Little red capsules filled with repair-balm for very dry hair. The packaging looks a bit like a UFO to be honest...
NOBLE ISLE Summer Rising Cornish Hedgerows Bath & Shower Gel: Said to smell like summer like nothing else... well I like the smell. It is fresh and a bit woody ( is that a word? ) I would say. A bit like walking through the woods on an early summer morning ( what I never did, but I would imagine woods to smell like that on a summer morning ;) ).
Everything comes in a travel size, except for the mascara, which is the overall theme of the box. Everything sorted to give you a good foundation for your holiday.
The foot balm and sunscreen I gave to my mum as she can make better use of them, as I am only an SPF 30 person. With all those goodies also came a cardboard bookmark and a pink-black Glossybox-Eyecover (and of course the Glossymag).
In total I like the box very much, I like the brand mixture and the products I (we) tried so far (mascara, sunscreen) work very well for me (us). I am already excited about the August Glossybox :).
I also ordered a special edition GB for young women (of which I think I still am one ;) ) and cannot wait it to be delivered. I will tell and show...
Hope you have a grrrreat weekend,

To start anew...
Hi Guys,
ok this time I really do apologize (kind of a habit of mine I guess ;) )!
I haven't blogged for literally AGES now and am feeling very sorry about that. I must admit I had a very unsatisfying job lately so was not in the mood AT ALL to blog. I know followers don't fall from the skies and you will not be interested in a blog with new posts every few months... so I decided to change my style a bit (not the appearance of my blog, don't worry).
Most of the time my blogs fail because I cannot get pictures of the things-to-show in time or most of the time I want to write about random things but I don't know if you are interested... but in the end I decided to give it a go and change the content a bit. Beauty and lifestyle will still be the main target, but also random things in life like Uni or work or what I am up to at the moment :).
Hence I hope you still like to read the posts, the next one will come up in a jiffy (this time for real ;) ). So just relax and enjoy...
Hugs

Tangerine Queen and a piece of advice
Hey guys,
hope you are all well :)
Over here it has reached 39°C on sunday... 39!! I was in Hamburg that day and was literally melting away...
I went there because my bestest moved there and invited us to her housewarming/ birthday party.
So, as I knew it would be make-up melting time I put on some Vichy Lumière tinted moisturiser and mineral powder by Art Deco. The thing was... the tinted moisturiser was not EXACTLY my skin colour... in fact I am fair and IT was orange...!
It said that you should use a teeny tiny amount of it to add some tan to your face and it doesn't matter that you are fair, you look glowy and ravishing...WELL!
A few times it actually worked, I looked tanned and not like a member of Jersey Shore.
But on that sunday... oh dear! I arrived after a 2 hour journey on the top floor of her appartment bloc, completely hot and - ok let's say it- sweaty as hell. So when I came in she said: Oh my, your face is red!
When I looked in the mirror I realised it was not the heat... it was the moisturiser.
So I PRETENDED I didn't realise I was the queen of the tangerine's and sat down casually in the living for half an hour, as you do, before CASUALLY I went to my bag, grabbed my baby wipes (saviour mine) and my powder (actually my REAL colour) and rushed to the bath...
What did I do afterwards? Yes chuck away that bloody stuff into the never-come-back bin.
So don't believe what they say in adverts, on the internet etc. PLEASE always use your own skin tone. If you on the other hand prefer that look... well, orange away!
What I should add, there is a new BB-cream on the market, the one by Mabelline... same problem! Rosey skin tone? No taste for orange extravaganza? Please do not buy!
Anyone of you had a similar experience?
That was it for now,
hope you have a lovely day! ;)
