PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   When I started writing this post, I thought it wouldn’t be as short as the one last month that featured only two products, but would be makeup exclusive. I had replaced some drugstore favorites from Maybelline and Catrice, nothing too exciting, but hadn’t planned on getting new skin or hair care stuff. Well, that was before I heard that the Currentbody…

One year of empties – skincare, hair care and makeup I finished in 2023 | Doctor Anne

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   Collecting all the products you use up and throwing them in one huge Empties post at the end of the year always sounds like such a great idea – until you actually have to sit down with a huge bag full of trash to sort through.     Will I ever learn? Probably not. So without further ado, get yourself a…

New in beauty – Alpha-H, Balea, L’Oréal and Manhattan

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   There isn’t much to show you in October, which – being completely honest here – is a relief. My skincare drawers are bursting at the seams and now that the colder months are approaching, I can’t be as reckless with testing as I am during summer, my skin gets irritated much quicker once the temperatures drop. Still I have an exciting…

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: SOME PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PURCHASED MYSELF, LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   Please do not expect this to be a complete overview of all essie nail polishes available – there are more than 1000 shades available and I have only ever tried a fraction of them. This is trying to offer guidance on the ones I ended up purchasing, which will mostly be in the red color family with a few seasonally appropriate colors…

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: SOME PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PR (GIFTED) AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER Todays update on everything that found it’s way into my stash is a good mixture between old favorites and new to me brands and also some makeup, because for the first time in literally years, I purchased an eyeshadow palette. But first things first, skincare! The two brands you have heard me talk about a million times already are of course Murad…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   This New In post should have been much longer than it actually will be, and I am pretty mad about that! You see, earlier this month I placed a huge order for e.l.f. skincare, which was promptly processed, shipped and then returned by Deutsche Post with the note that I had moved to an unknown place, so the parcel…

It is a mix of brands you probably know very well, like The Ordinary, Deciem and Estée Lauder, brands you have heard of on this blog several times already, even though they aren’t…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   Another month that I am proud to report that I didn’t acquire much new stuff – maybe a weird introduction for a New In post, but I have so much stuff I am still not done testing the things I acquired last October, getting a lot more would not only be wasteful, but also stress me out. I really don’t want…

New in Beauty: Maybelline and L’Oréal

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PURCHASED MYSELF AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER I admit I was tempted to skip this months New In post for the first time since I started doing it in September last year. After all this is a blog focused mainly on skin and skincare, and everything I have to show you is, well, NOT skincare, but just makeup.     You could of course argue that a foundation is actually…
