THE BEAUTIFUL LIFE

Hello everyone! 

Last monday I enjoyed the sun again on my rooftop terrace. 

It is so lovely to sit there.

I AM OBSESSED! ;)

I wore:

Pants: Primark

Shirt: Mango
Bracelet: Tiffany & Co.

Leather Jacket: Denver

We cooked pizza and it was really delicious. I put ham, olives, tomatoes and artichokes on it.

My dessert was a passion fruit. I love it!

NEW IN: EYESHADOWS #1

HELLO GUYS!

On my little strolling through the town yesterday I got some pretty catrice eyeshadows. I wanted to try them out for a very long time and I am really excited to use them.

I bought natural colours for every day.

HAPPY EASTER + DECORATION

 Hello Easter Bunnies!

Sorry I know I had been gone for a little while but I just enjoyed my holidays and I also had to work. Now I am back in school and it’s actually pretty stressful although we have only a short week (Wednesday-Friday) because of the Easter-break.

Anyways, I hope you all had a great and beautiful Easter with your families and friends?

Those two Easter-Eggs are I found in our cellar and I made them when I was about six. When I found them I was pretty happy because I always enjoyed to create things like this. 

I put some catkin onto a silver plate and laid some vintage Easter eggs and my self-made  Easter eggs around it.

 Onto another silver plate I put egg-candles and also some catkin.

I love those green and yellow china-eggs and the little silver birds. I wanted to put some tea lights but I had to buy them first. 

I don’t know about you but I actually like Easter. I like the tradition behind this holiday, I like the little school-break and I just love being with my family.

Do you have a traditional way to celebrate Easter?

Well my family always had traditions and also on Easter:

When my brother and I were little children we were always very very excited. Maybe I was more excited than him but I think he was too.

Our parents woke us and we came down to have a delicious Easter breakfast. After that we went to church. Then we searched for our Easter baskets.

After that we went to our grandparents and had the usual Easter lunch:

Soup with sliced pancakes

Fried goat with potato salad

Chocolate-Cream

I always loved these dishes because we didn’t get them all the time. It was and is still something special.

After the lunch we always had coffee with some cake. And guess what? – We also had a huge dinner!

Between lunch and dinner we usually played cards and talked. We had always very very nice moments with the family. I always enjoyed Easter.

Since my grandparents have passed away we celebrate Easter at our home. We managed to keep our traditions and rituals. The only thing that changed is that we are less.

I’m a little sad about this but yes this is how life rules and I know that they’re in a much better place.

I found a big vase very I put the rest of the catkin.

I hanged all of the Easter eggs I found onto the catkin bouquet put this one lost its hanger. I took a match an cut it into a little piece where I knotted the hanger around. The I sticked the little piece of wood and the hanger into the hole on top of the egg and voila!

As you can see: It worked! 

Here is the finished look of the Easter-Bouquet.

I really wish you all a very beautiful and great day. 

CLARET AND THE SNOW

HELLO

Today I wore one of my new favourite pieces: Claret Leather Pants.

I got them at the H&M sale and love them. You can wear leather pants very cool, chic or even casual.

I decided to wear them casual today. 

CARDIGAN: H&M

BLOUSE: Marc by Marc Jacobs

PANTS: H&M

SHOES: Bruno Premi

BAG: coccinelle 

This necklace is my favourite at the moment. I got it some weeks ago at H&M and have been loving it since then. I have a lot of grey pullovers, shirts and blouses and I think it looks so good to pair grey with silver-greyish statement-necklaces. 

I hope you liked my outfit. 

PRODUCT REVIEW: TOO FACED SHADOW INSURANCE

Too Faced Shadow Insurance

Hey everyone, today I wanted to do a product review. The Too Faced Shadow insurance is actually a really hyped product. When I first started watching youtube videos I heard a lot of it. On my Mediterranean cruise I got the primer in Palma de Mallorca. Since then I have been using it all the time.

At first I was really excited to use it, but my first impression was pretty bad.  

In the tube the actual primer was not mixed together with the oily liquid, so this liquid always came out of the tube. I figured out that I had to mix the fluids together in the tube. I roll the tube between my fingers and knead the primer. 

Since the moment I had recognized this method I have been loving this product. It holds the eyeshadows perfect in place all day long and it is such a wonderful base. I also like the fact that the primer is matte and not shimmering, so you can also use it underneath matte shadows. 

TAG: NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION

MY NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION 

Every year the same: a ton of New Year's resolutions but we'll never stick to them? 

Anyways, this year I thought about my resolutions very precise. 

1) Remove make-up every single night, no matter how tired I am!

Yes! This is so important. Sometimes I am just to lazy to remove my make-up. 

I go and brush my teeth and go straight to bed... And then I am angry if I get pimples all over my face!!!! 

2) Go regularly to the gym!

Since this year I am member of a gym but I only was a view times.

I have to go regularly now, because: my parents have to pay the membership and I want to get fit!

3) Drink at least 3 liters of water each day!

I have my problems with drinking enough. I only drink something when I am thirsty or when I eat something. I know this is not very healthy and because of this I want to change my drinking-habits.

4) Blog regularly!

This is one of my biggest resolutions.  I really want to post a blogpost every day or minimum every other day. I know this won't happen all the time because of school. But I'll try my best to be consequent. 

DAILY FAVOURITES

MY DAILY FAVOURITES!

We all have a lot of make-up products in a ton of different variations, colours, textures, however, I personally always come back to my favourite prouducts. 

Why? Because, I love them and tehy work really good for me. 

I know it could be that one or even more products won't work as good for you as it did on me, but that's just very logical: Everyone has a different skin-typ, never forget that!

To start of:

I like primers, because they really help to hold all the make-up and eyecolours in place the whole day long.

For my face I have been currently using a cheaper primer from my local drugstore. It's by the brand cartice and so far I really like it. But I'm still testing a little bit. :)

I swear by the Too Faced Shadow Insurance. I first got this about 2 years ago and I have been loving it since the. 

This miniature Dior Eyeshadow Palette is one of my favourite idioms ever. Actually this was a present for my mother but I tried it once and I loved it so much so I kept it. I know I shouldn't do that, but I LOOOOVE IT!!!

I am in love with my bronzer and cream blush from MAC as well.

There's a funny story behind this cream blush:

Once I walked to the mac-counter with one of my best friends and we talked to the nicest mac-lady ever. Then she tried out a view products on us. 

Suddenly she came with one bold pink and one bold orange coloured blush.

We said OMG this is to bold, but the she  applied it so lovely on our cheeks and we loved it.

Since then we had been using it everyday.

The bad thing is: It was limited edition :(

Those are my everyday shadows:

essence - creamy shadow in coffee cream

mac - yoghurt

INSPIRATION WINTERWONDERLAND

INSPIRATION WINTERWONDERLAND

I looooove winter. 

Winter is one of my favourite seasons. I love the cozy pullovers, nice colours and of course I adore how the world looks. Everything has a very magical and romantic feel. 

I love to go skiing and tobogganing, but I also like to sit next to the tiled stove with a cup of hot chocolate or jasmine tea reading a good book. 

I enjoy to sit inside and watch the snowflakes falling down as much as walking while it snows.  For me winter is a wonderful season that turns the world into a wonderland.

I am really inspired by the nice and cool colours. 

Those two cute baby dogs remind me of a very soft pullover that keeps you warm.

 This little baby fox has got the pretty rusty colours on its skin. I love this colour for winter.

The deer is just beautiful. I like how nobel and elegant it looks and moves. 

GOLD, SPARKLE, SILVER, GLITTER - LOVE

 For night outs or dinners I am very inspired by those holiday lights and sparklers. I like to wear clothes with sequins, glitter or golden or even silver details. 

Do you like winter as much as I do?

HAPPY NEW YEAR

 I WISH YOU THE VERY BEST FOR 2013! 

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

It contains: 

Liquid Facial Soap Mild

Superdefense SPF 25 Age Defense Moisturizer

Superdefense SPF 20 Age Defense Eye Cream

Superbalanced Makeup

Long Last Closswear SPF 15

I finally got the cream LAIT CORPOREL by BIOTHERM. I love the smell, I love the consistence, I love how it feels on the skin. I love this cream. Plus I like this nice blue make-up-bag it came with. 

My mother gave me this awesome ESTÉE LAUDER & MICHAEL KORS Make Up Bag as-well.

The cooperation is one of the nicest of this year. I actually picked this present for my self. There were two different bags in the parfumerie where I got mine. One in black and one in gold.

I choose the gold one, because I liked the colours in it better. 

They were more wearable for everyday, which I liked better.

I haven't tried it yet but as soon as I have built an opinion I'll review those two products.

This is a Birthday-Present from my parents. A golden necklace with amethysts. 

My daddy gave me this book, which I had already started reading. So far I really like how it is written and I also like the story. 

A poignant and inspirational love story set in Burma, The Art of Hearing Heartbeats spans the decades between the 1950s and the present.  When a successful New York lawyer suddenly disappears without a trace, neither his wife nor his daughter Julia has any idea where he might be…until Julia finds a love letter he wrote many years ago, to a Burmese woman they have never heard of. Intent on solving the mystery and coming to terms with her father’s past, Julia decides to travel to the village where the woman lived. There she uncovers a tale of unimaginable hardship, resilience, and passion that will reaffirm the reader’s belief in the power of love to move mountains.

My father was so kind and gave me this nice FURLA clutch. The leather is very very soft and it is chic and timeless. I think it also fits to almost every outfit. 

Here is one awesome gift also from my daddy: The FURLA Trilogy, which is perfect to organizes any bag.

I got this candle from my brother. It smells like Anise Ceddar and I think it's really good!

Baobab COLLECTION  - Miombo woodlands, Africa

About Baobab COLLECTION:

Baobab COLLECTION has been created in 2002 in the magnificent landscape of Tanzania with intense colours and enchanting perfumes. The handmade collection of decoration candles produced in Belgium since 2004 underlines its African heritage by proposing exclusive colours combined each with a selective fragrance that will ring you to the African heartland. 

This is also from my brother. I like the fragrance but I think it is very intense. You only need one dash of it and you'll smell like it all day long.

 This was actually a Birthday-Present that I got from my brother as-well. I have been wearing it since then nearly every day. I absolutely love it.

This is from my lovely boyfriend. A wheat pillow. It's the same thing like a cherry pit pillow but in my opinion a little bit softer. I like that it is a heart and I always wanted on like this. I'm really happy about this gift.

Actually I'm really happy about all things I got.
