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! :)

Beauty Favourites July 2013

I know I am a little bit late with my beauty favourites for the month of July. The weather here has been so nice lately so that we decided to spent more time outside. Today we just returned from a trip to the Baltic Sea :)

 

I am wearing my new asymetric dress from Michael Kors with coral and dark blue stripes.

 

Anyways...

At first I would like to mention my new 3-phase skin care from Clinique. It consists of the liquid facial soap mild, the clarifying lotion no. 2 (skin type for dry combination skin) and the dramatically different moisturizing lotion. 

I think this stuff is amazing, it makes my skin smoother, softer and healthier! I have also done a full review of this on my blog here and if you're interested you can also see my video here.

Another skin care product that I loved in July is the birch shower peeling from Weleda which is a natural cosmetic brand. I am using this on my upper legs only, it is for purify and smoothening the skin. It`s very creamy and has soft wax peeling balls in it. During the summer months I am finishing it up with the matching birch cellulite oil.

Another all time favorite product is the décolleté cream from Mary Kay. It´s actually a hand and décolleté cream but I am using it only for my décolleté every morning. At a certain stage I thought I should extend my daily care to my neck and décolleté as well. This creme has spf 15 which I also think is helpful.

My little 'life saver' of the month is the Hidro Fugal anti-transpirant forte. This stuff is amazing and holds all day long, even when I spent some time in the direct sunshine. Though I have to admit it feels a little bit pushy on the skin, but definitely a product that I will go to for the next high summer season again!

When it comes to make up items I have re-found (or found again) my blush from L'Oreal in the color candy cane pink. It´s a shimmering rose tone. I love theses tones and will watch out for this blush color in shops, as I know it is already really old, haha.. but it looks so nice! :)
I also loved my Mary Kay mineral powder foundation that I am using in shade ivory 2. As it has been so hot and nice here over the last weeks I have been applying it without any BB-cream or make up foundation below. I covers enough and holds the whole day. Love it! And will buy it again!!

A new thing in July was the NYX eye shadow palette from their Runway Collection. I chose the one with lilac and nude/brown tones. These colors suit me most and this palette was totally inexpensive, I paid around 9,- Euros. I also like that they hold the whole day which is basically one of the most important things to me when it comes to eye shadows. With these I don't need to touch up, because I am not really a touch-up-person - I want to hold my make up until the evening! 


Then I tried out a new nail polish from essie in the color 'allure'. I loved it right away and wore it on my nails for two full weeks without a change! :) It looks so delicate and fine... *sigh* <3

And last but not least also a new item, a lipstick from Clinique in the color 'runway coral'. I discovered the coral tones more and more for me in the last days and this color is just so into-the-face but in a nice and happy way! ;) I simply love it.

I hope you liked my beauty favorites, if you're interested you can also see my video here. Please feel free to let me know your beauty favourites in the comments below.

I wish you a wonderful sunday evening!

rediscovered evergreen

Sometimes there are phases when I put on more make up and then there are also phases when I like to keep it a little bit low. For example wearing only one color over my eye lid, quickly adding mascara, blush, lips and ready...! And this came how I totally forgot about a wonderful product that I now rediscovered when re-arranging my make up items! It is the Estée Lauder eye shadow quad in n02 amber honey.

I totally love nude tones and I think this pallet is of very good quality! If I apply it in the morning time without a primer it would last until the evening and still look the same. This product is amazing! And I love it! Did I say that already!? :) Okay, the quad consists of 2 shiny and two matt tones. The lightest shade is slightly shimmering and in my opinion it´s the perfect color for under the eyebrow, because it´s the absolute right tone, not too light and not too shiny. Depending if I want more shimmer or not next, I use the shiny tone in the upper right corner or the matt taupe tone from the left. Finishing with the dark brown tone of which I need only a tiny amount. You can work so good with this product as it blends very well and easily. You have always enough color but it´s never too much!

What are your favourite eye colors for a decent eye make up? I´ll be happy to be hearing from you!
