NEW!

Striplac by Alessandro

its a big thing these days to do your nails like a pro at home. I question that and therefore had to try the Starter Kit by Alessandro. You get a red nailpolish, a clear twin base and top, a file, a cleaning pads and the most important UV/LED lamp. I read the manual and then started to do my left hand leaving out the thumb. After cleaning my nails with the cleansing pad, mmmhhmm, they smell like apricot! I start with the clear Twin and let it dry in the lamp for 60 seconds, then I apply the color and again I let it dry in the lamp for 60 seconds. As the last step I again apply the twin polish and I really make sure to cover the tip of my nails. now on to the right hand, which of course is always a bit harder than the left hand.. the same procedure: twincoat on 4 fingers (leave thumb out) dry for 60 seconds, then apply color, let it dry for 60 seconds and then finish with the twin polish and let it dry for 60 seconds. now I do the exact same thing to my thumbnails. Now all my fingernails are painted and I clean the top with the cleansing pad. It looks so nice and the best thing is: IT IS DRY! Wow! I was really amazed!

The product claims to last up to 10 days and I can tell you it lasts even longer on my nails.. 🙂 I got more colors and tried the product on my friends nails. I will show you all the different colors in another post, stay tuned!

How to remove the nailpolish?
thats a very simple step, you just have to peel it off. I have never had problems to remove the nailpolish but I read that there is a peeloff oil in order to remove the nailpolish.

I have to admit that I really didnt expect such a nice result! It was easy to apply and it last for more than 2 weeks! I can therefore highly recommend this product.

NOTE: some of the nailpolishes tend to pull back, it must sound weird now but if you have tried this and experienced the same you will know what I mean 🙂 so when this happens try to dry each nail after painting for 10 seconds, like this it will not run back and you can continue to paint the rest and then dry all fingers for another 60 seconds.

stay tuned for my Striplac color demonstration! xx

SPRING & SUMMER skin care


the sun is out and thats the time where we should think about SPF – do you use SPF? I can highly recommend to do so. the sun is very powerful and can cause serious damage to your skin.. yeah, I know.. I am sure you have heard that somewhere before 🙂 anyway, I want to show you what I use at the moment in order to keep my skin protected from UV A and UV B rays.

LANCASTER Sun Control Fluid SPF 50
Thats what I start with, thats my base in spring and summer. It is a very light fluid and very easy to apply all over my face and neck. I already introduced this product here >>

CLINIQUE superdefense SPF 20
As a second step I use my daily moisturizer. It already has an average SPF but not enough for my sensitive skin and my couperose parts on my cheeks. here you can read my opinion about the Clinique Superdefense – I did a test with Jaswant and we are both still using them.  >>

ESTEE LAUDER CC Cream SPF 10
I think this is enough coverage for me in spring and summer. Its perfect to even out my skintone and leaves a nice glow. read more about this CC Cream here >>

so after these steps I curl my eyelashes, I apply Bronzer and lipstick and I am ready for the day!

whats your skin care routine? do you use SPF? what products do you use?

CLINIQUE superdefense SPF 20

Jaswant and me will answer these questions below. we both used the cream for 1 week.

#1
how does the skin react to the new cream?
#2
how does it work with foundations?
#3
does the cream keep the skin hydrated during the whole day?
#4
how much to use per day? how long will the product last for?
prize/result – is it worth it?

Jaswant – 35 – fashion consultant / mom says:
(type 3,4 combination oily to oily)

1
After using the cream for a full week I can tell for sure that my skin reacts well and no irritations appeared. After applying superdefense and having a few sips of my morning tea I was able to apply my foundation right away.

2
I use the luminous silk foundation by Georgio Armani. This has light coverage and not a matt but glowy finish. I use a highlighter on the check bones, fluid sheer by Georgio Armani. Together with the Superdefense cream I found the result to be stunning. It gave me an overall healthy looking glow, you get after a restfull vacation.

3
The cream definately keeps my skin hydrated through the whole day. I never felt any drynes or tight feeling when exposed to dry office air. Before using other creams I could see lines in various areas caused by dry air at the end of the day. Several people around me noticed the improvement of my skin, and said how good and healthy I looked.

4
As the cream is very nurturing I don’t need a lot and can say that it will last for at least 6-8 weeks. Therefore I think it is worth to buy, and I’m waiting to see the result on my skin after a month.

Lea – 30 wardrobestylist / blogger says:
(type 1,2 very dry to combination)

1
My skin reacted quiet well to the superdefense SPF 20. Usually I get irritations and redness very easily but I really didnt have any problems yet. I have been using the cream for one week now and I didnt get any blemishes from the cream.

2
When I first used the cream with the M.A.C Face and Body Foundation my skin felt very dewy and I had to wait for quiet a moment in between.
But then I started to use a primer, M.A.C Prep and Prime, before applying the foundation and then I didnt have any issues with too dewy and shiny skin.

3
The cream does keep my skin hydrated during the the whole day.
I have very dry parts on my forhead, around my nose and chin and the cream really helped to hydrate my skin.

4
I only use a little amount every day because the cream is very rich and when you use too much it will make you look very shiny.
The 50 ml will last me for at least 8 weeks if not longer as I only use it during the day. The superdefense SPF 20 costs 72 CHF which is not cheap and I have to use the cream for a little bit longer in order to see if the cream is really worth it.

so what about you? did you use the CLINIQUE superdefense yet?
did you like it?

I LOVE IT

LADIES & GENTLEMEN.. I have a wonderful change to announce – I fell in love with the M.A.C Face & Body Foundation and use it instead of the M.A.C. Mineralize Foundation.

The best thing about the F&B Foundation is the finish, it has such a nice light texture. Once applied it looks very natural and can be build up by adding more layers for more coverage.

I use my fingers or a sponge to apply instead of my M.A.C. 187 brush and think it gave me way better results. The F&B Foundation really starts to become like a moisturizer when applied to face – perfect for my wintery dry skin!

Which foundation are you using and why do you love it? And let me know which brush you use to apply foundation or if you also use your fingers for certain products. Please leave a comment – sharing is caring xx
