Normally I am not the person to follow trends. If I see something I like, I will buy it.

As you all might know, I am a sucker for Ray Ban Aviators. When Ray Ban came out with the bright colored mirrored Aviators I had to try them.

In Australia I found them at several airports, unfortunately in size 58. I always wear 55. They are the perfect size for me. So I started surfing online. When I buy sunglasses I normally buy them at Sunglasses Shop but they only offer the 58m. Luckily Shadestation had the smaller sizes and offered them for a good price as well. Both shops ship super fast and have excellent customer service.

They also come in a red/orange mirrored version, but that one was my least favorite. It looks best on people with brown or blond hair. I found that it clashed a bit with my red hair. The blue mirrored Aviators have brown glasses and the green ones, purple. Both are super comfortable to wear.

Which one do you like more? Green or Blue? Let me know in the comments!

Kryolan send me their newest product: the Lip Stain in the color 'Rock'. After applying it it reminded me of the Velvetines from Lime Crime. Ultra matte and super long lasting. A beautiful saturated red that will look good on all skin tones.

The formula is amazing to work with. I can work well with the applicator, but you do need a little patience and a steady hand to begin with.

The Lip Stain is glossy to begin with but it dries matte. Unfortunately the color does come off and leaves a stain as well. Pretty pigmented stuff. Use it with caution ;)

At Magi Mania you can find a review of the Lip Stain, in German.

One of my absolute favorite recipes, and also from my guests, is my carrot soup. It is always a real, healthy treat. The recipe that I always use can be found on www.chefkoch.de. The only part I mostly skip is adding the celery. I also like to use yoghurt instead of creme fraiche.

What you need:

How to prepare:

Make sure to taste after it's been blended and add more of whatever flavor you like to be more present. Sometimes I add more lemon peal, sometimes more yoghurt or black pepper. Feel free to experiment! Serve and decorate with some tarragon leaves.

Enjoy!

One of my favorite summer lipsticks is 'Diorama' 066 from the Rouge Dior lipsticks. It is a coral pink with a frost finish. Dior lipsticks are quite expensive, but this one is worth the money. It lasts really long and is super comfortable to wear. I normally don't like lipsticks with a frost finish, but this one looks so lovely and not old lady like. A fresh color that brightens up my summer days. 

I've kept the eyes neutral and added a bit of MAC's Supercontinental blush which goes perfectly with Diorama. 

The Bodensee is one of my favorite holiday destinations. It is only 90 minutes away from my home. It is perfect for spontaneous vacations. Whenever the weather is good, we'll head over there. This time we made a little round to Uhldingen, Unteruhldingen, Uberlingen, Schloss Salem and the Island Mainau. We did some relaxing and sightseeing. I like the balance between the two. I could never lie at the beach for weeks. Not that much of a tanning person. My oven gets overheated really quick.

We had a wonderful time! Here are some pictures for you to enjoy! If you are ever in Germany during summer, make sure to check out the Bodensee. There are so many beautiful places to visit.

Do any of you share the same experience as me?
