Hamburg city shopping haul 10/13

Hello!!

I am finally back with a post and video! I have managed to order a spotlight for a better lightning of my videos. Actually got a pretty cool set which includes a soft box, a bulb, and a stand for the lamp, oh yes and a bag! All together was only 35€ which is a very good price compared to other offers on the web. And as I only want it for my small-ish videos, this will totally do it! :) If you are about to look for a spotlight you may be interested to see the set I got here.

When I went shopping last time round I wanted to visit a certain shop - Massimo Dutti. The store at Neuer Wall, Hamburg is so epic! It´s like shopping in a living room and everything is very mondaine! Can totally recommend to check that store out. I got two shirts there, the first one is a navy blue and white stripy and loose fit shirt with a round neck. The stripes come round like until over the shoulder which looks very cute! It´s cotton and I chose size M, it was 30€.

The second shirt is a plain white loose fit shirt with a v-neck and a small pocket in front that carries a golden Massimo Dutti label which I think looks very cool! The sleeves are about 3/4 length and the fabric is very light and see through which I like and want to combine in layering looks. This is also size M and was 25€.

Next thing that I bought was actually on my wish list and is from The Pashmina Store. I chose a beautiful light pink scarf that is handmade in Nepal from 70% cashmere and 30% silk. It is very wide and falls big and fluffy what I like a lot! It feels super soft and I am so happy that I have such a fine and high quality scarf in my collection now! :) The scarf was 100€ quite an investment - but so worth it!

Last thing that I got was a self sun from Clinique. This is a very dark face bronzing gel tint. On one side I think it´s a good product because your skin looks tanned right after applying it. However, what I personally don´t like is that it has to soak in and mustn´t be touched at all for 10-15 minutes and it washes off in the evening. I would have preferred that the tanning effect stays for some more days so that I would only have to repeat maybe every 3 days. Nevertheless I will use this up. It costs 20€.

May be I got something wrong with self sun and self tan here? I don´t know.. so I will be thankful if you may bring in some light! :)

You can also see my video here, where I try to speak English and also have forgotten to mention half of the information above, haha! ;) Hope you enjoy anyway!

décolleté cream

I was looking for so long to find a décolleté cream. Considering the fact that I got the first wrinkles I decided that I would need to extend all the creaming and caring of my face to the neck and décolleté. Particularly as I am a side sleeper which makes my front part look very creased in the mornings! ;(

I didn´t want to use my regular face creams instead I rather wanted to find something that has been designed especially for the skin of a décolleté. In search of the matching product I had to learn that there a not much products out there that are NOT super-mega-expensive! 

So I opted with the hand and décolleté cream from Mary Kay.

The packing is not too small and contains 85g which is a good size for this type of cream as I am using a good amount of it every day. :) The cream itself is a bit thicker in consistence but lets itself spread very nicely onto the neck and décolleté. It leaves a nice feeling and my skin feels nourished the whole day. The cream has sun protection factor 15 which is also very important for the décolleté skin because I usually have a cleavage, either a smaller one or a little bigger one, but the sun can always reach me there! 

I am true to this product for a least 2 years now and I am totally content! My décolleté skin looks smoother and the cream is also affordable! :)

In case you are interested you can find it here.

Beauty Favourites September 2013

This month I have only a few beauty products. Some have already been mentioned before but when I have found something really good I usually stay with it. So, here are my september beauty favorites :)

The Aussie color mate shampoo and conditioner have been very good for my hair. I like the smell of peaches and the smooth texture of the shampoo. It makes my hair soft and shiny. I used the conditioner every time I wash my hair (except for once a week when I am doing a hair mask). I think my hair looks and feels well-groomed.

Again the maybelline master precise eyeliner was one of my favourites this month. I like the easy appliance with the soft felt pen tip and the deep black color!

Also the BB cream from Clinique is a product that I do appreciate! Especially now after that I have tested the Olaz essential BB cream I have definitely learned that the BB cream from Clinique is my product!! It covers well and has SPF as well as anti-aging effects. As the packaging is already empty I couldn´t take a picture but here is a link.

The Bepanthol lipcreme is such a good product! I am using this for a longer period of time now and am still so happy!! I am using this twice a day, morning and night time. In the mornings directly under my lipstick or lipgloss or whatever, it soaks in very quickly. My lips are simply healthy and don´t chip anymore. So this will probably be a favourite of mine for all next months! ;)

My new intensive hand cream from dalan d'Olive that I bought during my holiday is absolutely georgous! It is with olive oil and covers the skin very nicely and soaks in after a short while. This is actually a concentrate and is really inexpensive!

What are your beauty favourites this month? If you are interested you can also see my video here.

I wish you all a nice and cosy weekend!
