New in

I have some new beauty favourites on my beauty shelf that I want to share with you. 

My personal highlight out of my new arrivals is my new scent La Tulipe by Byredo, w

hich is more like a rediscovery because I have used a sample size

 last Spring already and fell in love with this bottle of tulips. 

Another nice scented product in my collection comes from my favourite Australian skin care brand 

Aesop with the difference that this product not only smells heavenly but also makes your skin feel heavenly. 

The product I´m walking about is the Fabulous Face Oil, that I use as my daily moisturizer for my combination skin. 

A lightweight oil what leaves your skin feel smooth and nourished. 

Another repurchase however was the Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado by Kiehl´s. The best eye product 

I have ever used, honestly. The formula is exactly how the product disription says: creamy and a great treatment, 

which cools down and nurtures your under eye area perfectly. Talking about eyes, my last discovery from 

&Other Stories also helps to get a healthy looking under eye area and provides a radiant appearance 

for tired looking eyes by mixing the Radiant Highlighter Concealer under your normal concealer. 

You might have noticed, healthy looking skin is key for me at the moment and everything that supports a radiant, 

glowing complexion is really welcomed on my beauty shelf.

Beauty Wishlist 2016

It is still January and I thought the perfect time to create a wishlist full of beauty cravings 

I want to get my hands on throughout 2016. 

On this list you can find old classics, I have already tested and loved as well as super hyped products, 

I definitly want to give a try. One of these old classics is the Kiehl´s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado. 

I had it for a while but after finishing it, I didn´t repurchased it and tried something else, which, 

I think, is not as good as the Kiehl´s Treatment. My thin under eye skin felt never as nourished again. 

That´s why it is on top of my wishlist. Same with the Lancome Hypnôse Mascara, which I´ve used for a while 

but didn´t repurchased after finishing. 

The other products however I haven´t tried before but crossed my way lately and aroused big interest on my part. 

The Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette might be an essential for some of you already

 but powders were never one of these products I wanted to spend a lot of money. 

This has changed now because I realized a good powder can make such a difference. 

These palette consisting of three illuminating shades seem to be perfect for me as they make your skin 

look glowy by mattifying your complexion. Speaking of glow, the Becca Highlighters

are on everyone´s lips and now also in my head just like the Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer

everyone is raving about. I haven´t found the perfect Concealer yet but maybe in 2016?

Haircare-wise Oribe is a brand I definitly want to give a try even if the prices act as a deterrent. 

I was lucky enough to try a sample of the Masque for Beautiful Colour and loved how my hair felt after this treatment. 

I know that a lot of people love the Dry Texturizing Spray and my hair always need a bit of texture. 

Another brand, which is more on the pricy side is Byredo. La Tulipe is my go to perfume for Spring time and

 I want to have another scent to vary a bit. A friend of mine got the Perfume Leather Case for Christmas and

 I want to have one of these ever since. You can get every Byredo scent in  a special refill size to put it into 

this beautiful leather case to make it even easier to travel with. 

Last but not least I have to more skin care poducts I need to try in 2016. The Charcoal Clear Improvement Mask 

from Origins and the Pixi Glow Tonic. Both for more uneven skin days, which I have quite often these days. 

Has anyone of you experiences with those products mentioned? 

You´ll for sure be the first who find out when I get anything of that.

Gift Guide

Traditionally, as every year, my personal wishlist concludes my little Gift Guide trilogy.

 So Santa, if you´re reading, and you´re still not sure what to get me, 

I´d love to find one of these things under the Christmas tree. 

Maybe you can spot the one or another piece you might love to receive as well.

 I´m curious what´s on your wishlist apart from happiness and healthiness!

Birthday Wishlist

As you might have guessed it already by the title - my birthday is not far anymore. 

It´s crazy how time flies but let us not complain! In the end we just gain on experiences and 

memories and get ourselves to know much better from year to year, right? Right!

I take the chance to share my current wishlist with you and maybe give inspiration to friends and 

family who does not have any idea by now. Some bigger, some smaller investments

 but I like when my friends pool money and buy something I really like and appreciate for years. 

Same I do with gifts for my friends and family.  

My motto for the upcoming year is going to be "dream big". 

Something I´ve learned about the past year and I definitely want to pursue. 

Because almost nothing is impossible, it´s all up to you.

What I would like wearing today

As I promised earlier this week the quietness on the blog has come to an end, finally.

 I´m really sorry for it but the past week was just crazy! To cut a long story short 

here I go with an obviously Autumn inspired look for grey and rainy days. 

The checked shirt and those Chelsea boots (both Cos, of course) are on the top of my wishlist at the moment. 

I can literally see myself wearing this exact outfit composed with pieces I already have in my wardrobe. 

Only a classic checked shirt and the perfect Chelsea boots are missing in my collection. 

Still a huge favourite of mine is the A.P.C. halfmoon bag because of its classic but unique design, 

which would last in my wardrobe for ages. Just a fun thing I´d like to try is the Byredo hair perfume in the scent Blanche. 

 I can really good imagine how practical it can be when you haven´t got enough time 

to take a shower in the morning but still want to leave the house like your hair was recently washed. 

For me a great alternative to conventional eau de perfumes as I spray them in my hair anyway. 

The combination reminds me a bit on taking a trip to a horse ranch for a relaxing ride through the woods, 

which I honestly would love to do again as I haven´t done this since I was a teenager. 

Of course I didn´t looked as cool as I´d do with this outfit but great memories though!

Mother´s Day Reminder

Just a little reminder for those of you, who are a bit oblivious.

This sunday is Mother´s Day!

Even if your mother expects nothing at all of you, it would be a nice little gesture

to buy a small bunch of flowers and say thank you for all she did for you.

If you want to buy a further small gift there are some nice ideas I´ve gathered above,

which conjures a smile on your mother´s face for sure.

Only 15 days left till Christmas eve!

Dear Santa

Wouldn´t mind finding one of these Byredo products under the Christmas tree.

Not only a beautiful appearance but also beguiling scents.

My current favorite is still La Tulip but maybe I hope to find a heavier perfume for winter time.

Any suggestions?

What I would like wearing today: Working day

What I really like at the moment is the combination of a classic turtleneck and a classic blazer.

The perfect look for a day in the office but rather for every day.

What else do I need for a day at work: my favourite tea mug, the suiting weekly planner

from Els & Nel, which I discovered recently, a pretty pen,

with which it is fun to work and a touch of my favourite scent.

Day Crush: The scent of Spring

Spring is just around the corner. Happily, I can´t wait till the temperatures go higher and

it´s warm enough to sit outside again and starting picknick-time.

The scent ´La Tulip´ by Byredo is the perfect attunement to Spring time.

Coose your favorite scent here. They have a beautiful offer on tantalising fragrances.
