What's In My Hand Luggage?

Today I want to share with you my hand luggage, at least what I take with my on a long overnight flight beauty wise. Because of the fact that I am actually not going on an overnight flight this year, I don't have every product that I mentioned in a travel size. However, you can replace these products with your preferred one in a travel size, so that the mentioned products work as guidelines.

Hand cream
Because the air is so dry in a plane and my daily sleeping routine consists of a bit of hand cream, I would always take my hand cream with me. I really can not stand out dry hands!
Antibacterial handgel
Even though you can use the soap in the toilet, you never know who has touched the doorhandles and seats before you. Especially when you are working on your face or you eat something, make sure that you sanitize your hands beforehand. I can really commend the Bath & Body Works PocketBac Deep Cleansing Hand Gel


Makeup remover
It is really important that you remove your make up before you are going to sleep even though you are seating in a plane. Therefore, I would take with me the travel-sized Bioderma Crealine Micelle Solution Makeup Remover for Face & Eyes 100ml and 2-4 cotton pads.

Cleanser + wet wipes
The next step, which shouldn't be skipped is to cleanse your skin. You don't want to have new pimples before arriving in your new destination. I don' have a travel-size cleanser even though I can really recommend The La Roche Posay Cleansing Mousse from the Effaclar line. Just use any travel-sized cleanser which you prefer. Take a few wet wipes with you in order to remove the cleanser without heading to the plane toilet.

Moisturizer
Because of the dry skin in the plane, it is also important to moisturizer your face really well in order to prevent it from dehydrating. However, firstly I wouldn't apply that much product on your face. When it is absorbed into your skin and your skin still feels dehydrated then you can always apply more.


Toothpaste + Toothbrush
Don't forget your teeth and brush them right before you go to sleep and in the morning. This also vanishes any bad breath.

Mascara
When it comes to make up, I don't want to take too much with me, because this is just to make me look a bit more a wale. You can still apply more makeup when you arrive in your hotel. So I take a mascara with me, because this really makes your eyes look more awake and lively.

Concealer
I apply a concealer on my pimples, redness and under eye circles in order to make my skin more flawless without appearing to be caky.Especially after a long flight, a concealer does wonders!

Lip Tone
Lastly I would take with me a colored lip balm, or also called lip tone. This can be applied without a mirror and has a natural effect, but gives a but of colour in the same time.

So this was my hand luggage. Of course, don'z forget to pack all these things in a clear zipper bag and keep all liquids that you take with you under 100ml.

Thank you really much for reading this post!
What do you have in you hand luggage on long flights?

All the best,

Gigantischer Rossmann, DM & Douglas Haul

Obwohl ich wahrscheinlich viel zu viel Make up für eine Person habe, konnte ich es mir dennoch nicht verkneifen wieder in Rossman Dm und diesmal sogar noch Douglas zu gehen.
Daher ist hier meine rießige Ausbeute.


Maybelline SuperStay 24h Foundation and Concealer
Ich hab sehr gute Kritiken zu diesem Produkt gelesen und entschloss mich daher dieses Produkt zu kaufen. Ich suche nach einer Foundation die langanhaltend und mittlere bis starke Deckkraft hat. Der Concealer sollte perfekt zur Foundation passen und meine Unreinheiten sehr gut überdecken. Mal schauen, ob die beiden ihren Dienst leisten.


Blistex Classic Lip Protector
Mein letzter Blistex ist zu gut wie leer und nun stand ich vorm Regal und haderte zwischen einem klassischen Labello oder doch der amerikanischen Variante, dem Blitex. Wie ihr seht, habe ich mich für den Blistex entschieden. Ich denke, beide sind von der Pflegewirkung fast identisch.


Essence stay all day long lasting eyeshadow 02 Glammy goes to...
Dieses Produkt ist perfekt für den Sommer, falls dieser mal kommt. Dieser Creamlidschatten soll anscheinend nicht in die Lidfalte kriechen und hat einen wunderschönen metallischen, goldenen Schimmer.


Sunozon Sonnenfluid LSF 30
Von der Hausmarke von Rossmann habe ich mir das Sonnenfluid für Gesicht und Dekolleté mit LSF 30 gekauft, was einen mattierenden Effekt verspricht. Ich hoffe, dass diese Sonnencreme nicht zu ölig auf der Haut erscheint.


Garnier Hautklar 24h Feuchtigkeitspflege
Ich habe mir nach Überredung einer Freundin eine neue Hautpflegeserie gekauft. Ich werde noch bei meiner alten Pflege blieben, werde diese aber nicht weiterführen, was das VICHY Reinigungsschaum einfach zu austrocknend ist.

Garnier Hautklar Gesichtreiniger

 Garnier Hautklar S.O.S. Anti-Pickel-Stift

Marc Jacobs Daisy


Ich hab lange nach einem Sommerduft gesucht und habe ihn schließlich gefunden. Es ist zwar nicht das günstigste Parfum mit 45€/20ml, dennoch ist der Duft sehr frisch, blumig und leicht.


Rival de Loop Liquid Make-up
Für eine Freundin habe ich das Make-up mitgenommen, obwohl ich in letzter Zeit ein wenig Foundation süchtig geworden bin, habe ich mir nicht auch noch die hier gekauft.


Rival de Loop Mineral Powder
Obwohl das Puder sehr dunkel aussieht, ist es auf der Haut sehr hell und lässt sich sehr gut verteilen. Zu Not kann man allein die dunkle Seite nur zum Konturieren benutzen.


Rival de Loop Long Lasting Nail Colour - 74l & 95J
Ich bin mir jetzt nicht sicher, ob dass wirklich der richtige Namen ist, aber ich finde die beiden Farben wirklich sehr schön. Deckend nach zwei schichten, jedoch ein wenig streifig.

Rival de Loop eyeshadow - 11 cherry plum & 10 mocha beige
Wenn man bedenkt, dass ich den Ständer von Rival de Loop bisher so gut wie nie beachtet habe, ist diese Ausbeute erstaunlich. Die Lidschatten sind wirklich sehr gut pigmentiert, zumindest nach dem ersten swatchen. Mal schauen wie sie sich auf der Haut verarbeiten lassen.

So dies war mein viel zu großer und monströser Haul! Ich hoffe, es hat euch gefallen und ich wünsche euch noch einen wunderschönen Sonntag!

Alles Liebe,

Concealer On A Budget: L'oréal vs Maybelline


Hey Beauties!

My question is: Which concealer is budget and works really good? So, I have here two good concealer which I have re-purchased quiet a few times from now. I think showing you a concealer from whom I'm not convinced of, is not considerable and it doesn't even make a sense.
So, we have here Maybelline Ever Fresh Concealer, which is similar to the Fit Me Concealer or their Mineral one, and the L'oréal Touch Magique.

Here's how my eyes look like without any concealer:



Maybelline Ever Fresh Concealer:
The Maybelline Ever Fresh Concealer costs 4-6€/7,5 ml (it depends on your market). It has this applicator, whereby you can apply the concealer directly onto your under eye circles. However, you have to blend the concealer with a brush or with your fingers.
This is how the applicator looks like:

The concealer has definitely no smell, the opacity is really good, so you just have to use one layer of it.
Here's the result:



L'oréal Touche Magique:
The L'oréal Touche Magique costs 8,96€/5 ml. Its applicator is a brush and you have to twist the bottom part of the packaging in order to get your product. Then the product comes out of the brush, like you can see here:



Now, we can argue, if this is the most hygienic method, but we leave that out. I would definitely say that this simplifies the nice blending and appliance around your eye. The opacity is also extremely good and it has no smell. However, you can't use the brush to blend the concealer into your skin, so you have to use your fingers or a brush again.
Additionally, the brush is really thick and the cap is too small, so you catch these hair of the brush really easily and then it looks like that :)


And here's my result:


Result:
Unfortunately, I have to say that the L'oréal Touche Magique works a little bit better. Sometimes, when I have kind of a bad day, the Maybelline Concealer dries my eye area really out and then it looks just disgusting. The L'oréal Touche Magique covers everything up even when I have my terrifying days :) I have got the problem that a lot of concealer make my under eye circles look blue and that's what he doesn't do.
I got my last Maybelline Concealer on sale for 3,5€, but if I had to pay 6, I would invest 3€ more to get the L'oréal one. I think, it's worth it!!! I can definitely recommend this concealer! However, when you're looking for a cheaper one that I would purchase the Maybelline one. You can also make sure that you don't get any pimples because of these!

What ist your favourite concealer or did you try one of these??

Love & xx
