What I Bought Last Month || May 2020 Makeup Haul

A few weeks ago I was feeling really fed up and kinda unhappy with everything in my makeup bag. Don't get me wrong, the products I usually use are great, but applying the same products over and over again with the same result... I need some change! I decided I’d have a little refresh and treat myself with some new products that I’ve been wanting to try for a while. Most of the products I ordered (but some brushes) finally arrived and I'd love to share them with you. Here we go!

Rosense Rose Water || Review

If you're a big fan of natural beauty products, you've probably heard something about rose water. Used for centuries, this luxurious and fragrant natural product is considered one of the oldest beauty secrets, in the Middle East as a beauty tool. Decades later, it’s about time the rest of us to catch up.
Nowadays the product remains a best-seller for quite a few years, and many other brands have released their own versions.
So, why's rosewater popping out of nowhere suddenly so famous all around the world?

Maybelline Lash Sensational Luxurious Mascara || Review

To kick off 2020, putting the past few months, which were pretty tough behind me, I finally chose to treat myself as some kind of a 'fresh start' with a huge beauty run and got some new makeup! Some of the products I’ve never used, but have been dying to try and the rest of the products I ran out of. I decided to wait a week after purchasing to write this so I could include some reviews of the products, showing you the most interesting ones & what I think about these products so far. Let's start with the first one!

While I’ve been on the luxury mascara bandwagon for some time now, I do still love to try out drugstore mascaras occasionally. There is something to be said about only spending a tenner on something that needs to be tossed out every 2-3 months! When I saw the Maybeline Lash Sensational Luxurious Mascara had not only an exclusive fanning brush with ten layers of bristles, but also promised a volumizing formula which is infused with precious oils for softer, denser lashes, ophthalmologist tested, ( perfectly for my lashes currently causing trouble for unknown reasons ) I knew I needed to try it. After all, spending a third of the price on a mascara just as good as it sounds would be too good to be true… so is it?

BH Cosmetics Naturally Flawless Foundation | Review

Hi lovelies,

ELEMENT MAKE-UP SERIES | AIR

Air people are brilliant, curious, independent, talkative, observant, and entertaining, but they are also impractical and restless. Air people are intellectuals always on a quest for new information.

And while air people have an enormous propensity to develop new ideas and tell stories, they have a hard time truly connecting emotionally to others, even though they want nothing more than to be completely understood. It’s crucial, then, for air people to learn how to give weight to their words and tap into the earth and be grounded.

MY BEAUTY FAVOURITES | MAY 2018

Mein letzter Beauty Favoriten Post ist tatsächlich schon einige Monate her. Früher gab es die Kategorie jeden Monat auf dem Blog, aber in letzter Zeit habe ich mich eher weniger mit dem Thema beschäftigt. Zeit, euch mal wieder auf den aktuellen Stand zu bringen, welche Produkte ich im Moment gern benutze und täglich in meiner Kosmetiktasche bei mir trage. Dabei habe ich festgestellt, dass sich meine Präferenzen doch eher wenig verändert haben und nur einige neue Lieblinge dazugekommen sind.

MY CURRENT HAIR CARE ROUTINE | MAY 2018

Hallo ihr Lieben,

Schon vor zwei Jahren habe ich hier auf meinem Blog über meine Haarpflegeroutine geschrieben – Zeit für ein Update, denn in den letzten zwei Jahren hat sich viel getan!

ARIANA GRANDE INSPIRED MAKE-UP LOOK

Hallo ihr Lieben,

heute folgt etwas, das ich schon lange wieder ins Leben rufen wollte, aber bisher nicht so richtig dazu kam.
Inspiriert von Ariana Grandes neuem Song ''No Tears Left To Cry'' habe ich beschlossen, einen ihren Looks nachzuschminken, ähnlich wie ich es früher schon auf meinem Blog hatte.

Hier nochmal ein kleiner Rückblick:
In der neuen Kategorie geht es nämlich darum, Promi Make-Up Looks, mit Produkten aus der Drogerie, so identisch wir nur möglich, nachzuschminken.
Den Anfang machte Kendall Jenner, vor etwa einem Jahr.

Damit ihr eine Vorstellung davon habt, geht es heute direkt, wie oben bereits erwähnt, mit Ariana Grande weiter:
