BEAUTY, VIEW IT ALL, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

purple – burgundy – bordeaux – oxblood – raspberry – cherry to only name a few of the lovely colors for autumn. I went thru my collection of beauty products and found quiet a lot of nice fall colors, 15 to be precise. let me list them below. for me the two most important things about wearing darker lipsticks are to have a very even nice skin and exfoliated lips!

m.a.c HEROINE lipstick
m.a.c WHAT JOY (limited edition) lipstick
m.a.c REBEL lipstick

estée lauder HEART BEET nailpolish
m.a.c PALACE PEDIGREED eyeshadow
sisley ROSE NOIRE mask

estée lauder BRAZEN lipstick
m.a.c PRIMROSE (limited edition) lipstick
estée lauder RED EGO lipstick

opi IN THE CABLE CAR POOL LANE nailpolish
m.a.c DARK DIVERSION fluidline

striplac DARK VIOLET nailpolish
alessandro LOVE AFFAIRE nailpolish
malva LAS VEGAS nailpolish

in fall I also love to wear darker tones on my nails and I am so happy with the STRIPLAC dark violet – the OPI in the cable car pool lane – MALVA las vegas and ALESSANDRO love affaire. when I look at my beauty stuff I can see a lot of different bronzing poswers and a huge variety of lipsticks. well no surprise to me – as these are my two favorite parts to apply makeup: cheeks and lips!

GOOD MORNING

BEAUTY, VIEW IT ALL, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

let me start the day by showing you my new products by BENEFIT and WET’N WILD. my awesome mom brought me these goodies from the united states and I already played around with some of them.

there is one piece by the FERGIE collection of WET’N WILD its called ON EDGE and its an creme eyeliner in a pot with a brush – the shade is called little black dress. such a sweet name!

then I got two of the WET ‘N WILD MEGA LINER in 863 TURQUOISE and 860 BLACK SPARKLE, a BALM STAIN in 124 LADY AND THE VAMP and a IDOL EYES stick in gold (who are you wearing).

last but not least there is the amazing BENEFIT BROW ZINGS medium that I always wanted and now finally have 🙂 the brow set contains 2 colors and 2 brushes and a tiny tweezer.

these are my newest products and I will soon show them to you in person. stay tuned. xx

chez L’ORÉAL

EVENTS, VIEW IT ALL, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

thank you L’Oreal Professionnel – it was a blast!

it was pouring cats and dogs yesterday and I was not in a summer mood at all. I was wearing tights in july and was also not amused by that fact. summer in switzerland is not what it used to be. well, anyway, I am stopping my rant about the shitty weather and start telling you how Dushka and I got into a summer mood at the L’Oreal event last night in ZH.

what a welcome! drinks, little appetizer and we were asked if we would like to have our nails done or if we want to start with the hair and check out the new tecniART Beach Waves look! we started with our nails. I choose Fierce, No Fear – a gorgeous brown that reminds me a lot of the OPI You Dont Know Jacques nailpolish. Dushka went for the Pretty Edgy an amazing green! next stop HAIR! tecniART launched a Beach Waves product and also showed different hairstyles with other tecniART products. I got a fishbraid side updo/knot and I luv it!

I will soon get back to you and introduce all the products but let me use them a bit first! stay tuned. xx

antiox & night balance

BEAUTY, VIEW IT ALL, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

by SKINSIDE

its been a while since I have introduced you to the skinside beauty drink for either day or night and I have continued to drink it. I was very curious when I saw this product at GLOBUS in Basel and was eager to try it. well, what can I say, I still like the drink, its refreshing. I keep them in the fridge – the antiox for the day and the night balance for the night, as the name already implies 🙂 also in my previous post I have found it hard to judge this product. I dont believe that you can become beautiful by drinking these drinks but I feel that my skin is more even now. so it did something from the inside – impressive! thanks Julie for helping me take this photo! xx

SOMETHING NEW

BEAUTY, VIEW IT ALL, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Kiehl’s has presented the CALENDULA DEEP CLEANSING FOAMING FACE WASH with Calendula Flower Extract for normal to oily skin type and I was so lucky to get to test it for you. It totally fits my skins needs and I have used the Kiehl’s Centella Cleanser before – so I do have something to compare the product to. I have used it twice and I love it already thats what I can say so far. but I really need more time to be able to review the product. so I will get back to you about it. stay tuned.

what does the packaging say
This rich, gel formula activates with water to create a creamy, dense foam that gently removes impurities without stripping skin of its essential moisture. Formulated with Calendula Flower Extract and Glycerin this deep cleansing face wash helps to soothe and replenish skin without over drying. Skin looks and feels instantly refreshed and revitalized. Soap-free and Sulfate-free.

TOM FORD makeUp

BEAUTY, VIEW IT ALL, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

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?

BB

BEAUTY, VIEW IT ALL, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Hmm, I must say I really love the Clarins BB Skin Perfekting Cream!
I have been using it for the last couple days and I really start to like it better everyday!

For me its really one easy step for natural-looking flawless coverage. The Clarins Skin Perfecting BB Cream is super easy to apply I achieved the best result with my fingers but maybe I just havent found the right brush for this cream. So anyway the texture is really smooth and leaves a very nice soft film on your skin. The BB Skin Perfecting Cream by Clarins is a real time-saver in the morning because it not only evens out your skintone it also protects your skin with the carefully selected plant-based ingredients with SPF 25.

so, what does BB stand for?

BB stands for “blemish and balm” and was first developed by German dermatlogists for women who had undergone cosmetic surgery and it was later further developed in Korea. It was recommended to soothe the skin and reduce the appereance of redness as a result of cosmetic surgery. It quickly became “THE” beauty secret behind flawless-looking skin in Asia. BB Cream is now found in a “western” version, part make-up and part skin care.

Have you tried a BB Cream before, please let me know which one and why you like it. please leave a comment or ASK or say something on my FB page – cant wait to hear what you have to say about BB Creams! xxx
