erborian Solid Cleansing Oil – Scents

This blog post contains affiliate links. Please see disclaimer Are you a perfume girl? I most definitely am not. I struggle to even remember to apply it once in the mornings, let alone reapply throughout the day. My collection consists of three bottles, and only two get used regularly. So it is safe to say, I am not your best bet when it comes to describing scents.   How does that smell? –Nice. Story of my life.     When reading up on the erborian Solid Cleansing Oil, someone mentioned…

pixi Pat Away Concealer Base – To tattoo or not to tattoo

This blog post contains *PR-Samples and affiliate links. Please see disclaimer   I have to admit, I am a fickle person. And that is what has kept me from getting a tattoo so far. See, I grew up in a time when having a tattoo was proof of time either served as marine or in jail, but things changed when I reached adolescence and suddenly they were everywhere. Now most of my friends are tattooed, even Mr. Loca is, and I think it is a beautiful way of self-expression and…

Lancôme Monsieur Big mascara – Audience in mind

This blog post contains PR-Samples and affiliate links. Please see disclaimer Of course I have watched Sex and the City. I’ve watched all episodes, I’ve watched the first movie. I even went back and watched the second movie, even though the first one was pretty disappointing. So I get what Lancôme is doing here, both with naming and with description. Monsieur Big. “You’ll know he’s the one at first stroke”. They obviously want us to think of Carrie Bradshaw and her somewhat questionable choice of men.     But I cannot…

pixi Glow O2 Oxygen mask – Ox and horn

This blog post contains *PR-Samples and affiliate links. Please see disclaimer.   In Germany there is a saying that indicates the impossibility of getting a reaction from someone. Roughly translated it means: “Like pinching an ox in the horn.” I often think about this saying when I try to get a reaction from my husband regarding new lipsticks, nail polish choices or truly anything makeup related. In fact I was sure that no matter what I´d do, he´d always look at me and say: “Whatever.”     Turns out I…

pixi MatteLustre & Shea Butter – Any excuse

This blog post contains PR-Samples and affiliate links. Please see disclaimer. I don´t need more lipsticks. I DON´T need more lipsticks. I don´t need MORE lipsticks. I don´t need… Oh shut up. Ladies and gentlemen (are there any here?) let me present you with the latest six (ha!) additions to my lipstick stash! To be fair, I didn´t purchase them myself. They were sent to me, carefully wrapped, in the lovely pixi-green box that brightens my day whenever it appears on my doorstep. Is this an excuse? No.    …

Wishtrend Green Tea & Enzyme Powder Wash – Just my take

This blog post contains PR-Samples and affiliate links. Please see disclaimer. I know I start most reviews with a little story, but things will be different this time. I just had too much to say about the product itself and didn´t want to waste your precious time. So, the product. The Wishtrend Green Tea & Enzyme Powder Wash *. I have to admit I had a hard time with this product.     It starts with the mixing. The cleanser is a powder cleanser you need to freshly prepare by…

Max Factor Lasting Performance Foundation – Time will tell

This blog post contains affiliate links. Please see disclaimer. Last time I visited my DM, I was gushing over the new display of LOV makeup they had put up. New eyeshadows, new blushes, new foundations. The excitement was real! But as always in life, if something new comes in, something old has to go. And sadly, LOV had replaced Max Factor. My current favorite drugstore brand.     Only time will tell if LOV. can excite me as much as Max Factor did (which I can still get, just not…

Instytutum Triple Effect Peel – Am I a hypocrite?

This blog post contains PR-Samples and affiliate links. Please see disclaimer. A few days ago, I got chatting in the comments of another blog, discussing favorite cleansing balms. Of course I had to mention Clinique Take the day off (Review) as my favorite. She said it was her least favorite. I wanted to know why, she wanted to know why and we both said: “Because it contains no fragrance.”     Which got me thinking. You see, fragrance in skincare is somewhere between “the devil” and “I could do without…

EVE LOM Cleanser – Mediation

This blog post contains affiliate links. Please see disclaimer.   Have you ever heard about mediation? No, I am not missing a t in the word. Mediation means you work with two different sides, usually people in a conflict and try to get them to common ground. Take a divorce with kids involved for example. Mediation will help the conflicting parties, the parents in this case, work out their issues with a professional to actually achieve a fair and manageable separation. But because the topic of divorced parents isn´t a…

Instytutum Flawless Skin Mask – Abbrevations

This post contains *PR-Samples and affiliate links. For more info please read disclaimer. Abbrevations are always a source of amusement for me. As are alliterations (see what I did there?), but for a different kind of reason. The abbrevations you use tell a lot about where you are coming from and, as there are multiple uses for most of them, can lead to quite some confusion. Take TCD for example. For the longest time, a TCD to me was a transcranial Doppler, something you do in neurosurgical patients to evaluate…
