Valentine's Day Lips

Valentine's day is coming up soon and I thought of what Valentine's day related post I could do. I decided to do a post about one of my favourite lipsticks. Because I think Valentine's day is the perfect opportunity to wear a little bit braver lip colour, for example red. Red lipstick is in my opinion a great choice for this day because it's everything for Valentine's day related pretty much red or pink?! I know there will be a lot of posts and make-up tutorials where bloggers and youtubers will talk about a red lipstick but I still wanted to do this post because it is a great idea to wear red lips on Valentine's day and because the lipstick I will be talking about is one of my favourites in general. And for those who are not as brave or don't like red lipstick I also have a alternative less eye-catching lipstick.

The red lipstick I will wear on Valentine's day is Mäc's Lustre Lady Bug, my favourite red lipstick in general. Although it's red I think it's not as bold as other red lipsticks and it works for any situation. When I'm wearing this lipstick my lips always look nice and glossy but not as if they were sticky. It's really long-lasting even if you would eat or drink something and doesn't dry out my lips at all. My lips feel smooth and moisturised and you don't even realise you're wearing a lipstick it's so lightweight. What I love the most at this lipstick is the scent. That might sound strange but it has a really nice mild and not at all bothering smell. The colour is a nice reddish orange, I know on the pictures it looks more like a classic red but on the lips it's slightly orangey. I think you can wear it to any event and combine it with nearly everything. In my opinion a stable lipstick colour with great quality and totally worth spending a little bit more money on.

The second lipstick I can recommend is a Pure Color Crystal Lipstick by Estée Lauder. To be precise Estée Lauder's Crystal Bronze. It's a beautiful, richly pigmented nude lipstick. Now, in my opinion it's a special nude lipstick because I think this lipstick is a bit bolder than other nude lipsticks, that's why I love it so much. The colour is a nice bronzy, shimmery colour. It has a creamy and almost weightless consistency. What I think is very important, is that you don't have to put a hundred layers on your lips to see the colour. With this lipstick on layer is totally enough at it will stay on your lips for the next few hours. Also a great plus is that it keeps my lips hydrated, similar to a lip butter.  In my opinion again a stable and if you don't know which colour to chose, take this one it will always look good and suit your outfit. And also like the Mäc lipstick I love the scent. I must say a couple of weeks ago I always look at the colour of the lipstick and when I liked it I bought it. But since I own these two lipsticks I always check the smell before paying it....!! (Oh I forgot to say, that on the picture with the lipstick, the colour looks much darker than it actually is. In reality the colour looks like on my hand.)

Wishing you a happy Valentine's day!!

P.S: 

You can also do a nice Valentine's make-up just for yourself even if your just staying at home. Because you anyway should wear make-up for yourself and do it because you enjoy it and not to be liked by others. That's my opinion :-)

Clumsiness....

I guess everybody knows the feeling when you're so embarrassed you wish you could just disappear or become invisible. To me this feeling is quite familiar because somehow I always manage to get myself into awkward situations. And it's mostly then, when I'm surrounded by people.

Sometimes I wish I would be that super confident kid that would make a joke after it had done something embarrassing and everybody would laugh and forget about it. But unfortunately I'm not. I'm more the type of person that if something embarrassing happens to me I try to rescue it but instead of covering it up, I make it even worse. I hope some of you can somehow relate to what I'm trying to explain you.

One situation I will tell you about happened in my first week at my new school. Before getting into it, I must say, that for me it's even more embarrassing when I'm new somewhere. Because after that everybody knows you as the clumsy kid and not as the really funny, generous or creative one. That was terrible because they didn't want to get to know me as a person they all already had the feeling they would know me although they only had seen my accident.

Okay, on to the situation. It was Thursday. I was at a new school and until then everything had worked really well, I even was a little bit proud that nothing embarrassing had happened to me yet. But this wasn't for long. That Thursday I would eat in the canteen for the first time. I just had paid the lady at the counter and was walking towards the tables. When I tripped, fell and all the food and Sprite spilt over the floor. For maybe two seconds everything was quiet but then everybody stood up and started clapping their hands. I was so embarrassed I was not able to stand up, so I was still lying in my lunch and everybody was laughing. My friend came to me and helped me get up but I could not stay in this room any longer, so I ran out my T-Shirt full of tomato sauce. You can guess what happened next. On my escape through the canteen I bump  into the boy I  secretly had a crush on and also destroyed his T-Shirt. From that day on everyone knew me.

At the beginning I struggled with going back to school and I wanted to change school and everything but I must say I've also learnt things through this accident.


What I've learnt and my advice:

Try to do little changes to avoid your clumsiness.

In case you would get bullied don't show any reaction because if you do the bullies won't stop. I now that might be hard but I think it's really important not to let people take you down.

Don't laugh at other people if they do something awkward because than they won't laugh at you either.

And incase the bullying gets worse I would recommend talking to someone about it and maybe even getting help.

Also, time can make a big difference because gradually you'll get over it and maybe you will even be able to laugh about it and the others will also forget about it. 

Nothing is forever.

You can also imagine it like a joke. No joke is funny forever there comes a time where everybody had enough of it and nobody think it's funny anymore. That was the same with my accident, after a while nobody thought it was funny any more and they stopped talking about it.

I also have a quote I always tell myself because I think it's really true and it already helped me through some difficult situations.

"Those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."

If you have any experience or advice on clumsiness and such things please leave a comment!!

Lots of love

P.S; Clumsiness is something natural and you're surly not the only one who's clumsy!!

Two Of My Favourite Skincare Products

I'm so sorry I didn't blog for such a long time but sometimes in life you have to take a break and concentrate on other things.

In my fact it was school. Lately it was really stressful for me and I needed to focus on getting through all the exams as successful as possible. But now as it's all over I've got more spare time I can invest for my blog!!

So for this post I will show you two of my favourite skincare products from The Bodyshop.

For a really long time I had problems with my skin. Not because it was oily or anything like that, no my skin was as dry as sandpaper. 

Now I'm using the products of the Bodyshop Vitamin E range. It truly helped my skin and I can recommend it to everybody with dry to very dry and sensitive skin. 

This is the Cream I use throughout the day. It preserves my skin from getting dry and sinks in really well. The scent is amazing I love it's really fresh and light. When I put it on in the morning my skin is nourished for the rest of the day and in the evening you can use the Night Cream from the Vitamin E range. Which I have to go and buy soon.

This facial wash is a mixture between face wash and cleanser. It takes of the make-up perfectly and leaves the skin feeling so smooth. The scent is amazing, in my opinion. I only use it in the evening in the morning I use a different product. My skin is really sensitive and this product is great it not irritates my skin at all.

I only have two products from this range so far but I'm really happy with them and I will definitely purchase some more!! Now that I'm writing about them I'm tempted to run to our local store and buy the whole range!!!

I know their a lot of different products against dry skin and I've been looking for something for such a long time and have tested so much products and always got disappointed by them. When the lady in the store showed my this range I was afraid to get disappointed once again. But I can really say for me, this is the best thing I've used up to now and I don't regret buying these two products at all. 

I hope I could give you some advice and if somebody knows a good product for dry skin I would be happy to hear about it!! 

Lots of love

Last Minute Gift Ideas

I  love wrapping and giving presents but I always have an exact idea of want I want to give whom. So if you don't have any ideas yet, I hope I can help you. I will try to list as much different things as I can but it might not have something for everyone. So let's get started!

For me, the most difficult present to buy is the one for my dad. One idea would be chocolate but because bought chocolate is quite impersonal I thought of doing some different chocolates by my self. For example with coconut sprinkles, white chocolate or black chocolate. If you're not the do-it-yourself type of person you could also buy a nice leather case for your dad's phone.

For my mom the case is always right the opposite, I always have a thousand ideas and have to decide myself for one. My personal favourite present, I ever made her, was one I did together with my sister. We booked her a relaxing day in a near by spa. If you don't want to spend as much money or your mother doesn't enjoy spa visits you could buy her a nice set of body lotions and shower gels.

For my sisters I always go for some thing quite practical. This year I'm giving one of my sisters a small chocolate fondue for two where she can light a little candle and melt her chocolate in small bowl on top. My other sister, I'm gonna take for a tasty breakfast to a cute little coffee in town.

For my friends I always buy individual stuff depending on what they love! One friend of mine loves nail polishes so I bought her a nail polish advent calendar. My other best fiend I'm gonna take on a trip to a fun park near where we live. For guys I think you can never go wrong with a nice cap or a  cool beanie.

I hope I could maybe help you a little bit, but because I don't have a brother I don't really have any suggestions what to buy or make for a brother. But I guess that depending on how old your bother is you could give him similar things like you would give your father. 

Wish you all a happy pre-christmas time!!!

Mango Obsession

Since my grandmother gave me a Mango Body Butter for my birthday, I've been obsessed with any Body Shop product, especially Mango.

It's not only the smell, it also does a great job and leaves my skin soft and good smelling. I've got three Mango products; the Body Butter, the Body Scrub and the Body Mist. 

Body Scrub: I've got really dry skin and I think I've already tried around 100 different Body Scrubs but I can tell you nothing left my skin feeling so soft like the Body Shop Body Scrub. The also is a really big plus it's really fresh and fruity.

Summer holidays and you're bored?

I think everyone knows the situation, when all your friends are on holiday and your all alone or you meet your friends and don' t know what to do.

In this case, I have some tipps for you, so you don't get bored again!!
