LE JARDIN ET NOUVEAUTÉ

Hey Lovers,

Last weekend was the only beautiful day in a long time and guess what? It has been raining since then. The sun was shining and I got a few new things.

In the afternoon I prepared everything for the BBQ in the evening. Unfortunately I didn't take pictures of the yummy food but Summer hasn't even started so I am sure I'll get another chance to photograph a typical BBQ at Maison Maria. ;)

Okay let's start with what I got last weekend:

The first thing I got is a pair of shoes and OMG I am so in love with these. I have been looking at them since they arrived at my parents shop. These wedges are from the company Vic Matié, an Italian shoe manufacture. And of course they have a neon orange detail. I am so obsessed with the colour orange right now. It always used to be my favourite colour when I was a little child and now I like it again very much. :)

I went to the drugstore and got a few things I really needed and as always I couldn't resist getting some goodies. I stopped at the ESSIE counter and got a orange nail polish with a hint of red in it.

The colour is called CAPRI and I love the island Capri very much. It is extremely beautiful there.

The next beauty related idiom I got is an eyeshadow from the company GOSH, which I really wanted to try out for a very long time. The company came out in Austria last fall I think, but I am not sure. I actually own one product of them, a velvet lip primer, which I never use, not because it isn't a good product, but I am too lazy to use 500 products in the morning. 

Anyways I got the eyeshadow in the colour BROWN.

The eyeshadow has a warm undertone and a few sparkles in it. I think it is the perfect everyday colour because it can be used on its own. Apply it all over the lid and blend it away to create a soft shade and build the colour in the crease. Blend everything well together and you have a beautiful and little edgy everyday look.

This is how the colour looks blended away.

It would also look very good mixed with a lighter or even a darker colour.

The pigmentation of the product is also very good.

I used the eyeshadow the following week and noticed that without a primer underneath it'll smudge away easily. 

But with a good primer it is a good eyeshadow.

The thing I like the most is of course the colour.

As the weather was so nice I went out and took some pictures of our beautiful garden. I love to be in nature and I love flowers. We have a lovely rockery. As child I used to play with all the stones and I even built little houses for my barbies and little dolls. But I also liked to climb onto the bigger stones or play football with my friends.

We have a lot of fruit trees and shrubs. We also have red and black currants in the early summer. I absolutely love the juice and even more I like the yummy jam that we make out of them. Here you can see red currants in the middle of Spring. They are still green but I am looking forward to eat them. 

I wore simple black jeans, a jeans-shirt and coral-pink nail-polish that day.

I absolutely love to be barefoot. To me it is a sign of freedom and it makes me happy. Also it is good for your health. 

I hope the sun will be up in Austria soon an that Summer returns again. I am sick of wearing thick jackets and Hunters - although they are pretty stylish - and I am sick to freeze all the time. 

The only good thing this weather brings with it is that nature is able to regenerate a little bit.

The glaciers won't melt as soon as they would if there was extremely hot weather.

The wood will grow fast and there might be new springs. 

Anyways, I wish you all a nice evening and 

REAL BEAUTY SKETCHES

Hi everyone!

Okay this is going to be a very very short post. 

I just wanted to share this awesome video with you all! 

I actually found this on  Erica Mohn Kvam's blog and I watched it and was really impressed.

Todays society emphasises on beauty and a lot of people, especially girls, think that they are not beautiful enough, that they are not perfect enough. We are forced to look at all those perfect models wearing expensive and cool clothes, of course size zero. To be honest, I think the whole beauty thing is a lot of fun .Make-up, fashion, everything. But this fun end when girls and boys start to feel uncomfortable in their own skin.

What we all have to internalise is that everyone is gorgeous on her or his way.

Everyone on this planet has to struggle with their own imperfections, with their "problem zones". 

This might me normal, because we all are human but this video made me really sad although.

All those beautiful women described themselves less beautiful and they all seemed a little bit sad.

Then they had the comparison:

How they see themsleves? How others see them?

I think we all should be very very thankful, because we are healthy and have a good life. 

On bad days, I know we all have those, we need to think of those who are living in countries where hunger, war and poorness are the daily life. 

Think of those who have less, be thankful and you'll see all the problems won't be as big as they seemed.

WELCOME TO LOVE IN PERIANTH

Hello everyone,

my name is Maria and I am 17 years old.  I study at a tourism college in Tyrol, Austria. My passions are fashion, beauty, cooking and decoration. On my blog I want to share thoughts, outfits, make-up looks, products, recipes and inspirations. I’ll give you a view of my lifestyle and you’ll see everything I like.

The blog-name Love in Perianth accrued two years ago. I am a very romantic person so I tried to combine the word love with something else. I choose perianth because the best decoration idioms are flowers and I love to have flowers around me.
