The Most Amazing Romance In The World!!!

I can not express how much I love this book:


One Day written by David Nicholls 

The plot doesn't sound that special: The book deals with Emma and Dexter who got to know each other during the university. The book always shows us one day during the year where the two protagonists meet each other.

Firstly, I thought this is a typical love story where the protagonists will fall in love at the end of the book anyway. However, because of the fact that the readers just got to know one day in one year, one can really recognize the progress of the different characters.
The characters are also not stereotypes, they have multiple aspects who are incredibly interesting and one really start to feel with the characters!

Being fascinated about the characters after finishing the book, I watched the film and I also love it.
In the book Emma was my appealing figure whereas now in the film I really learned to love Dexter!

I never reread books, but I really think about reading this book again. Therefore, I would totally recommend this book to everyone who loves love stories with a deeper sense or who loves social novels!

Have you read the book?

Sleek Blush Rose Gold Swatches

The famous Sleek Blush in shade Rose Gold is presented as a dupe for the NARS Orgasm.
Sleek is a british makeup brand, however, there are different online shops worldwide who deliver Sleek products. 



"A highly pigmented blusher to brighten and define cheekbones. The silky-fine formulation provides long lasting blusher which helps to create a subtle but radiant cheek area.

Apply using a small powder/blusher brush, by swirling the brush over the surface of the blusher. Tap off excess powder and apply onto the apples of the cheeks to emphasise your cheeks and your smile, or just below the cheek bone to create a sculpted look."

This blush is high-pigmented, therefore, I would suggest just to tap the brush over the blush.
The blush is a beautiful peach shade with golden shimmer which suits perfectly to a beautiful bronzed look during the summer time.
Because of its golden shimmer, this blush combines blush and highlight in one.

Swatches

I don't own the NARS Orgasm Blush, but I love this blush so much that I don't think that a purchase of the NARS blush would make me much happier.

What do you think of Sleek products?

Huge Makeup/Beauty Haul! (L'oréal, Astor, John Frieda and more)


Yesterday I went kind of crazy in the drugstore, nevertheless, I thought this is the best time to share my treasures with you!


Astor Mattitude HD Foundation which promises Anti Shine in High Definiton for 16 hours.
I bought this foundation because it is oil free and it has SPF 22 which is perfectly for the summer time!


Astor Anti Shine Mattitude Powder is from the same line like the foundation. I really needed a new powder, so why not buying the one which suits to the foundation perfectly.


L'ORÉAL Super Liner is an amazing product. I will definitely do a review of this, but the application is super easy and super neat!
       

John Frieda's Frizz-Ease is a legend and now I bought this legendary product. I hope that this really will give me an improvement in my frizzy hair ;)


The Manhattan waterproof eyeliners are absolutely amazing because they really stay on the whole day without overpowering the liner! Because of this reason I bought the black eyeliner as I just own a dark brown one.
The Catrice Eye Brow Stylist Pen comes with a colour that suits to my eyebrows perfectly. I don't have a red undertone, I just have ashy blonde eyebrows and for this, this eyebrow pen is so good.
And lastly I bought a new eyeshadow base from Manhattan because the Essence one just lasts about 5 hours and I for me an eyeshadow base has to last +8 hours. Hopefully, this will do its job!

This was my haul. I hope you enjoyed it and let me know what you bought the last time in drugstore!

Best Youtube Gurus (Beauty, Fashion, Fitness and more)


I think, Youtube is a fantastic thing to become inspired or to learn some certain things by watching the famous "tutorials". Currently, I was reading a newspaper article about "hauls" and all the sponsored videos in which companies want to catch us. I totally agree with the fact that these sponsored videos are really annoying, but in fact, it just shows our economic system... Also, if you became aware of that, you can watch these videos more carefully (it isn't hard to notice a sponsored video) AND that doesn't mean that all videos are sponsored! There are a few "gurus" who are not interested in sponsored videos resp. a few of them a professional, so they don't need that extra money.

Now, here are my categories in which I subdivide the different topic where you can inform yourself:

Fashion:

Anna Saccone (TheStyleDiet): She's an Irish woman who is a professional stylist and has even written a book. She focuses on all fashion issues, but especially on different body shapes and how to flatter them.   Her youtube channel and her website!


Anneorshine: She's absolutely talented and has an amazing fashion taste. She mixes up classic pieces with some fashionable, on-trend ones, which is absolutely my style!
Hairstyle:

Lilithedarkmoon: A lot of people try to copy her, but she is the original one and sooo down to earth. She's a hair model and always has got new, creative hairstyles!!
Model- / Skin- Advice:

Ruth Crilly (AModelRecommends): She's an international model who is doing everything about cosmetics and makeup. She's more in the high-end area, but definitely an eye catcher!
Make-up (in general):

Emily Noel (emilynoel83): She's an american broadcaster in the morning news and has to wake up at 3am. Nevertheless, she's recording videos which are soo informative and totally honest!

MasqueradeMakeup: She does a lot of makeup tutorials and she always looks like the celebrities! Absolutely inspiring and her accents are hilarious!
Makeup artist:

NikkieTutorials: She's just 17 years old and so talented! She's doing the most dramatic and creative tutorials with such an dutch energy!
Her channel: here

Lisa Eldrigde (lisaeldridgedotcom): She's a legend in the youtube world! Her 12 minutes videos are 12 minutes full of new information which you have never heard! She knows so much and has got so much experience!!!


Wayne Goss (gossmakeupartist): He's a male makeup artist and so sympathetic & sexy! He's doing short videos, but with the most honest advice in the "youtube scene" and really nice "Quick Tips".
