Most Worn *Summer* Things TAG!

I was tagged by a lovely friend on twitter with the Most Worn *Summer* Things Tag where you show in certain categories what you liked to wear during this summer. Even though the summer isn't over and it wasn't that summery here where I live, I still really like to do this tag. If you want to know what my most worn things are, then keep on reading!

 The Tag:
1) Most worn nail polish
For elegant or more natural days I always used the P2 nail polish in Lovely whereas my new Essie nail polish in 99 Mint Candy Apple was perfect for a hot and funny summer day.
2) Most worn hair product
The John Frieda Frizz-Ease Hair Treatment is a wonder. Applied in towel wet hair your hair is so smooth and looks much more shiner and healthier.
3) Most worn bag
I loved to wear my Accessorize cross body bag in this beautiful nude cream colour. It looks trendy and elegant at the same time. HUGE LOVE!
4) Most worn shoes
A year ago I wore these shoes and got terrible blisters, but this year they are incredible comfortable. And because of the wedge, I can walk in these Unisa sandals for hours.
5) Most worn accessories
I haven't worn a lot of jewelry, I was rather on a minimal jewelry trip. So my classic pearl gold earrings were suitable for every outfit. 
6) Most worn clothing item
These are my Tailly Weil brown shorts, definitely my most worn clothing item. They are a tiny bit longer then a hot pants and not that tight. Therefore, they are perfect for longer walks, because the most unattractive thing is when a woman pulls down her shorts in her inner thighs.
7) Most worn foundation
I purchased this just a few weeks ago and I am totally loving this. It is the BB Cream by Garnier for acne prone/ oily skin. This foundation is amazing and makes my skin looks just gorgeous. It is light, but at the same time almost full-coverage and it does minimize my pores.
8) Most worn blush and/or bronzer
It is so funny that I used to hate this bronzer and now, that I found the right way to apply it, I love it. The Essence sun club bronzer for lighter skin gives you a natural tan applied on the apples of your cheeks.
9) Most worn lip product
I actually made a review of this here and I still like the Blistex Lip Tone so much. I used this during the whole summer, because it is not too heavy or sticky and still makes your lips look so much better.
10) Most worn mascara
Another probably all time favourite is my new discovered Essence I love extreme volume mascara. This mascara makes my lashes extremely long, voluminous, just everything! 
11) Most worn eyeshadow
Seriously, I can not say how much I love this product. This was probably the best purchase ever! The Catrice Intensif' eye Wet & Dry Shadow 030 Vanilla Sky Ride is the best highlighting eyeshadow I have ever used. I love to  wear a beautiful pin up look with this eyeshadow.

So these are my most worn summer things! I hope you like this tag and please comment below what you liked to wear this summer!

Wish you a wonderful day!
Lots of love,

My Love for Pinterest

I never thought that I was going to like Pinterest and completely ignored the hype about the platform for a really long time. Pinterest is an internet platform where user can pin pictures on their board under certain categories. Other user can search for pins and can repin or like the pins. I logged in myself just because of curiosity and once you started pinning pictures on your board and people start to like your pins, you start to become addicted. 

Therefore, I can not stop using pinterest. It is amazing when you search for alternative photos that can not be found by a regular google search. And seriously, Pinterest offers pins from every single subject and category you can think of. 

I would be really pleased if you would check out my board here

Here are my current favourite pins and as you can tell I love monochrome photography:

What do you think about Pinterest?


Wish you a wonderful day!

July Non-Beauty Favourites


Because I love to do my monthly beauty favourities, I decided to start a new monthly favourite which consists of all non-beauty related things that I love. That can contain TV-shows, magazines, films, music, food, books, games, other hobbies, etc. If you want to know what I'm loving for July then keep on reading.

TV-show: Grey's Anatomy
Usually I absolutely hate TV-shows and never watch them. However, this month I found myself watching TV at the evening and discovered the old series from Grey's Anatomy. The next day I watched it again and so I started to watch every evening or even at midday. Yes, you can say that I started to become addicted watching this show and really enjoyed watching it.

Music
There are two songs that I absolutely loved.
Scream - Usher


Asaf Avidan - One Day/Reckoning Song (Wankelmut Remix)


Food
This sounds a bit weird, but I really enjoyed eating salad this month. During this hot weather, a salad is a nice and light cold meal. I know that a pure salad doesn't has a lot of vitamins, but combined with fennel, radish, bell pepper, a few hermes or any other nice vegetables a salad can be really nice. 

Then I also loved drinking oatmeal milk with vanilla flavour instead of normal milk. I start to replace milk products just because I am not really convinced of milk products and this oatmeal milk doesn't has that much more calories. Oatmeal milk: 53 calories per 100ml Regular 1,5% fat milk: 49 calories per 100ml

Lastly, I enjoyed drinking my Breakfast Shake which you can find here. I really drank this every single morning one day with strawberries, then with berries a.s.o. and loved it every single day.

Books
This month I was in a reading-flow. Seriously I finished within 3 weeks Divergent and the whole trilogy of Fifty Shades. I will write a review of all of these three books. Now the reading-flow has ended, but I enjoyed reading all of these three books even though the Fifty Shades series is not worth the hype.

Games
Okay, this is really weird, but I started playing Sims again. And when I start playing it I can not stop doing this for a long time. And even though I played all family tragedies and now what will happen next, I am still fascinated by this game. Okay, now I stopped with it, but I know that the next Sims session will come!

I hope you like this post as much as I love writing them. Please let me know whether you want to see something like this every month!

Wish you a wonderful day!
Lots of love,

Review: Alverde Feuchtigkeitsshampoo


Heute möchte ich Euch eine Review über das Alverde Feuchtigkeitsshampoo mit Aloe Vera und Hibiskus geben, welches ich vor ca. drei Monaten bei DM gekauft habe und daher jetzt mich dazu bereit fühle eine sachkundige Beurteilung zu liefern. Das Produkt kostet 1,96€, enthält 200 ml und ist 2,5 Jahre haltbar.

Verpackung
Das Produkt befindet sich in einer eher rechteckigen weißen Verpackung, die jedoch abgerundete Ecken hat. Die Öffnung ist aus rosa Plastik und schließt gut. Insgesamt wirkt das Design sehr weiblich und frisch.


Herstellerversprechen
"Pflegt und regeneriert auf natürliche Weise die strapazierte Haaroberfläche, ohne dabei das Haar zu beschweren und versorgt es nachhaltig mit Feuchtigkeit. Pflanzliche Wirksubstanzen kräftigen das Haar bis in die Spitzen und geben ein schönes, lockeres und geschmeidiges Haargefühl."

Farbe & Konsistenz
Das Shampoo ist durchsichtig und ist recht flüssig, jedoch noch nicht wässrig.

Geruch
Ich weiß nicht wie weder Hibiskus und Aloe Vera riechen, noch weiß ich wie sie in Kombination zueinander riechen. Mich erinnert der Duft eher an Mandel mit etwas Frucht.

Anwendung
Das Produkt wird wie ein übliches Shampoo in das feuchte Haar einmassiert und danach ausgespült. Nur schäumt das Shampoo kaum und lässt sich schlecht verteilen, daher benötigt man viel mehr Produkt als üblich. So benötigte ich für eine Haarwäsche zwei volle Hände. Außerdem fühlen sich die Haare nach der Wäsche nicht sauber an.

Fazit
Obwohl ich von dem Alverde Glanz Shampoo, worüber ich hier eine Review gemacht habe, begeistre war und auf Grund dessen mir dieses Shampoo gekauft habe, ist dieses eine völlige Enttäuschung. Mein schon vorher vorhandenes Problem mit der schwierigen Verteilung im Haar, den damit verbundenen Produktverschleiß und die fehlende Schaumbildung ist hier noch deutlicher vorhanden. Es beseitigt das Fett in meinen Haaren überhaupt nicht, daher könnte ich das Haare waschen mit diesem Produkt gleich ganz sein lassen. Das kann auch nicht mehr der Preis gut machen!

Ergebnis   ☆☆☆☆☆ Sterne

Ich hoffe die Review hat auch weitergeholfen. Habt ihr auch solche Erfahrungen mit diesem Alverde Shampoo gemacht?

Ich wünsche Euch einen wunderschönen Tag!
Alles Liebe,

July Favourties

 
La Roche Posay Dermo- Soothing Deep Cleansing Foam
This cleanser is absolutely amazing. I bought it last month and add it directly to my daily skincare routine. After only a week I definitely noticed a difference. My skin appeared to be much more smoother, clearer and with less acne.

Garnier 24 hours Daily moisturizer
Currently I have super oily skin so I used this moisturizer as a night cream, but this cream is extremely good for oily skin. It mattifies the skin, is non-comedogenic and gives my skin the ideal amount of hydration. 

Sleek Contour Kit
This is probably the best contour colour I've ever used. Sometimes I start to use another contour colour, but lastly I always come back to it. It creates a super natural shadow underneath the cheekbones, however, it has to be applied really carefully, because of its high-pigmentation.

Chanel Lipstick Rouge Coco 05 Mademoiselle
I loved to wear my hair in curls this month and felt, because of this, a bit like in the sixties. So I needed a nice bold, but still natural lipstick that can be worn in the office. This chanel lipstick was the solution: elegant, natural, but noticeable. Perfect.

Essence Sun Club Bronzer
I don't really like to use this bronzer as a contour or in general, as a bronzer. However, applied as a blush this product gives you a natural sun kissed look. Perfect for the summer.

Catrice Intensif´eye Wet & Dry Shadow 030 Vanilla Sky Ride
I am not sure whether this product is available in every country, but this is the absolute perfect shimmery highlighting colour for the inner corner of the eye. I absolutely loved to apply it half the way over my lid, to put a brown in my crease and to draw a liquid eyeliner. Your eyes will look so awake and fresh, it is amazing.


Essence stay all day 16h foundation
I wore this foundation the whole month in the office. Because of the air-conditioner, my foundation started to crease much earlier and every spot was much more noticeable because of this baad lightning. So I needed a foundation that is full coverage, long lasting and doesn't cause any more spots. This foundation gave me all these points that I was searching for.

P2 nail polish lovely & Manhattan nail polish 59L
I loved to wear the natural rosy nail polish on my hands during my time in the office and the other colour was also natural, but noticeable on my toenails. By the way, this is the only nail polish where everyone is asking me which one it is. 


What are your favourite products for this month?

Wish you a wonderful day!
Lots of love,
