WHY AND FOR WHAT?

these are my favorite brushes and I almost use them on a daily basis. and now I wanna tell you why and for what I love them so much. #1 has the perfect shape for around the eyes and nose, I use it for powder, foundation or concealer. #2 this brush is an allrounder, I use it for highlighter, for blush, to blend contouring, for concealing and for foundation. #3 my go to sculpting brush, it has the perfect shape for my cheeks, jawline and forehead. #4 I use this bugger to smudge my eyeliner, to apply eyeshadow under the eyes and to conceal blemishes. #5 my number one blending brush, it works like magic, I use it for the crease and move with windshield wiping strokes to perfectly blend the shadows. #6 this one is perfect for loose or compact powder, I use it allover the face.

and by the way, did you know that Estée Lauder now has a swiss online shop? I tried it out and ordered some nice things for my mom, the service is great, fast delivery and extra goodies. have a lovely monday and I would love to know which are your favorite brushes. please leave a comment. sharing is caring, right?

RITUALS TIME

a couple of weeks ago I went to Freiburg Germany for a small shopping tour with my mom. of course I had to visit one of my favorite shops there and I still can not wait to have a RITUALS store in basel. here << you can check if there is a shop in your area. everytime I go to a RITUALS shop, so far I have been to the one in Amsterdam and Freiburg, I stack up on the foaming shower gels. my first favorite was the T’AI CHI with white lotus and green tea, then I discovered the HAMMAM DELIGHT with fresh eucalyptus and rosemary and this time I found two new favorites: SAMURAI SHOWER with organic bamboo and cedar wood and the other one is called DIWALI DELIGHT with patchouli and cardamom. so I have four favorites and they all smell very uniquely different and of course I bought two of each to be sure to get thru fall/winter 🙂

TOM FORD makeUp

my favorite TOM FORD products

As we dont have a Jelmoli in Basel and Manor nor Globus carry Tom Ford I always enjoy the moments in Zurich when I finally have time to pass by Jelmoli. And the last time I did that I walked out with an amazing product called shade and illuminate in 01 intensity one. oh dears, I love this piece. and ever since I have met Adam (MUA) during the fashionweek in paris I knew that I wanna own this product myself. Adam did an amazing job for the Nino Bollag show and made the models glow! so yes, I am very happy with it. Its not a cheap thing to buy and I dont really remember what I paid but have a look when you are in Jelmoli the next time. two other favorites are the springcollection CORAL BEACH nailpolish and the SWEET SPOT lipstick. both can be worn every day. I like the nailpolish on my toenails and the lipstick goes perfect with a bronzed summer look. Which are your favorite Tom Ford products?

my favorites

these are my favorite cecil.ch pieces! there are so many beautiful must-have pieces for spring/summer, like a nice light parka, a beautiful canvas bag, a bright scarf or a printed t-shirt! I recently cleaned my closet and I now have room for new things! so let me show you my favorite must-have pieces that I have found via cecil.ch

a printed top  34.90 CHF
a good keypiece to pair with a black pencil skirt or with a nice skinny jeans and blazer.

a colorful scarf  29.90 CHF
another must-have piece for summer. it goes with a simple black dress or on a white t-shirt with jeans. my favorite is the floral print but there are many more.. it was tough to make a decision 🙂

a blouson parka  89.90 CHF
I think we should all have an olive green light summer blouson or parka in our wardrobe. the one above is a perfect hybrid version of the two. and again this can be worn on top of an elegant dress or with a casual maxidress or with jeans – everything goes!

a denim parka  100.00 CHF
aaww, I love this piece, such a cool denim parka – perfect for the upcoming summer nights. I would wear this with a bright red lip, a white t-shirt, my favorite black discopants and sandals. my go-to summer parka look!

a summer knit sweater  60.00 CHFanother good keypiece for summer is a light knit sweater. you can wear it on top of your favorite t-shirt or over a dress for the evening. what I like to do is to tuck the front part into my highwaist skirt or jeans. when I saw this beautiful baby blue I knew that I had to have this sweater!

a perfect canvas bag  49.90 CHF
I love stripes and I love navy blue – so this bag is the perfect match for me! we all need a good bag for summer – an easy light one that can fit your swimgear or the romantic picnic.

I found my favorite pieces for summer via cecil.ch, what about you?
