my KIEHL’S #wishlist

ooh dear! there are just too many nice things out there. this time I saw some very nice products by Kiehl’s – I hope you like what I like 🙂

Calendula Herbal Extract Toner
this is one of the best toners I have ever used. atm I am out of it but I m definately going to repurchase it!

Kiehls Vetiver and Black Tea
mmhhmm, I love this fragrance! I already used up a travel size bodylotion and bodycleanser and am thinking about getting the fragrance.

Soy Milk and Honey Whipped Body Butter
no matter if summer or winter I like my skin to be smooth and silky. I have not used this body butter yet but I smelled it when I was at the Kiehls Store in ZH and I really really love it – hence I need to have it!

Micro Blur Skin Perfector
wow – this thing really works – I tried a sample and loved the result.  All I know is that you use it on top of your foundation and that it contains lentils. now I wanna know more about the magic behind it.

Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1
I have read a lot about this very famous and beloved Kiehl’s product but so far I have never tried it. thats about to change soon!

Vetiver and Black Tea Body Lotion
so you already know that I really like the fragrance! I also loved the consistency of the product and have just finished my travel size body lotion.

my CHANEL #wishlist

sigh.. so many nice things to show you and so many nice things that I would love to call my own! let me start telling you what I crave:

chanel black and white ballerinas
they go perfect with a simple jeans blazer look or with a cute black dress for a more elegant approach.

chanel notes de printemps rouge allure velvet luminous matte lip color
pink or red lips are my favorite 2 lipstick colors for everyday or THE day!

chanel caviar maxi double flap black bag
what a classic bag – and like the ballerinas and the lipstick it goes with everything.

chanel coco mademoiselle eau de toilette
mmhhmm! this is something I wanna smell on me. probably this will be my next fragrance to purchase.

chanel earrings
to make a simple and easy outfit more edgy and glamorous!

chanel lambskin espadrilles
they look so comfy! I imagine wearing them on vacation with my favorite summer dress!

chanel sublimage masque
a beautiful radiant skin is as important for me as a gorgeous outfit. I once tried a sample of this and totally fell in love. a true beauty must-have!

LADY MILLION EAU MY GOLD
by Paco Rabanne – 80ml Eau de Toilette Natural Spray

mmhhmm! I like it! thanks for sending me this new fragrance by Paco Rabanne with the beautiful cocktail glasses – it makes me feel like a princess!

Its a fragrance for the moments in which you need an egoboost! put on your favorite outfit and wear the LADY MILLION EAU MY GOLD and feel like a diamond!

antiox & night balance

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

ESPRIT look

ESPRIT look – hello summer

finally the sun is back in Basel and I can wear my beautiful new dress that I bought some days ago at ESPRIT store in Basel. a very simple two color dress that is very comfy and quiet affordable for CHF 79.90 – I paired the dress with my new SIX sunglasses that I found at C&A, a very old brown bag that I once discovered at the fleamarket, my NAVYBOOT sandals and a pair of earrings from H&M. a very easy and casual summer outfit. dont you think so?

MACCOSMETICS

m.a.c amazes me all the time! I got the relaunched HEROINE lipstick in the modesuisse goodiebag and I have been enjoying it ever since. I really like the fact that m.a.c often continues to carry special edition products. of course one never knows but so far I was always lucky. the HEROINE is a matte bright purple lipstick. as I have rather chapped lips I can only wear it after exfoliating my lips.

another rather new product that was launched in may 2014 is the STUDIO SCULPT SHADE AND LINE palettes with a huge variety of color combinations. I personally love the INDIGOBLEND but I also like the VIOLETBLEND and APRICOTBLEND that makes my eyes look very green because of the red, orange and pink tones. Its a 3in1 palette with 2 eyeshadows and an eyeliner. all of them can be used either dry or wet. also in may 2014 they have launched the PATENTPOLISH LIP PENCILS in 12 different colors. I am not a huge lipgloss fan because I always end up having my hairs on my lips but with this product it looks like you would be wearing lipgloss because of the amazing shine but the feeling and texture is like a normal lipstick or chapstick. My favorite colors are TEEN DREAM a bright coral orange, HOPELESSLY DEVOTED a super bright clean fuchsia and PLEASANT a very nice rosy pink.

please leave comment below and tell me if you have tried any of these products above?

FOUTA

I SAW SOMETHING NICE
FOUTA

I had the amazing chance to get a FOUTA towel in my favorite color and I have used it for so many different things already. when it arrived first I wore it as a poncho, then I used it as a light blanket to watch a movie and this weekend I was reading a book on my towel next to the rhein. ONE towel MANY ways to use it! so let me tell you a little bit about FOUTA – I found a alot on their website and will copy paste the about us for you here –>

“fouta brings together simple design, multi-functional products and a passion for intercultural alliances. With roots in both Tunisia and Switzerland, the label’s founder was inspired to create cotton towels incorporating both the charm and the individuality of traditional Tunisian artisanal production. fouta’s cotton towels pass through diverse hands on their way to us but each towel is a delight to behold and has a multitude of uses: the finely-woven cotton towels brighten everyday life in Tunisia and keep local handicraft traditions alive. fouta is organised on a cooperative basis where handicraft and creativity are complemented by the mutual respect of all parties involved – much as the threads at the end of each towel are skilfully knotted together by the weavers’ hands. The ideas behind fouta also meet with the approval of our customers who are already helping to encourage small local businesses and social institutions in Tunisia and Switzerland. At the same time they are supporting our standards for transparency and the growing durability of all traces that we leave behind us. Furthermore they are accompanying us in our long-term ambition of keeping alive the centuries-old Tunisian textile handicraft with respect and care” read more here
