New Year's Eve calls for lots of sparkles! Glitter pigment, glitter liner, anything sparkly will do! Now is the time to experiment with makeup, even if you are staying at home. 

I love to use glitter for stage looks as well. It catches the light beautifully. My favorite glitter has to be from Makeup Forever. They look like little mirrors. In order for them to stay put, I use eyelash glue as a sticky adhesive. They are hard to get off the eyelids and are not made to put on top of the eyes, but I do it anyway ;)

For my latest Make up Monday I created a glittery smokey eye. I promised to enlist all the products that I used, so here we go!

What do you do when you have a friend visiting that is also a blogger? That's right! You got outside to take some pictures. My friend Johanna came to visit a month ago (before the Lockdown). 

She took lovely photos of me when we were in Cannes in 2018 together with L'Oréal: Polka Dots in Cannes I love her energy and foremost patience when it comes to taking photos. 

We were so lucky to be able to spend some time together. We basically just ate delicious food and talked about many things. We might also have had too many gin tonics ;) 


Outfit Details

Dress - Asos Design
Leather Jacket - Bodaskins
Sunglasses - Ray-Ban Meteor


What is your favorite cocktail? I love gin tonics. Johanna brought gin and the tonic. I only had to add ice. Do you drink it with cucumber? I have to confess that I also drink gin without the tonic ;)

A new 'Makeup Monday' is now live on my IGTV. This time, featuring the KVD Vegan Beauty stunning 'Lolita por Vida' palette'. This palette has been on my wishlist for such a long time! The main reason why I bought this is because of one eyeshadow: Sonrisa.  I thought it was a bit over the top to buy a whole eyeshadow palette for just one eyeshadow.... So, I decided to wait and caved in when it was Glamour Shopping Week and bought it at SEPHORA

It turns out that I love more than just that one particular color. This is such a gorgeous and unique eyeshadow palette, unlike anything that I have in my collection. It made me fall in love with eyeshadows again. Even though we don't have any shows at the moment, I still like to experiment with eyeshadows and try not to do the same look every day. 

At this moment when our eyes have to do the talking, it is the perfect time to accentuate them even more. So, dig out those fancy eyeshadows and start to experiment! 

 
Preciosa, Sonrisa and Amorcito

One of the best comments, when I posted this collage on Instagram, was, that I have watched too many realistic cake videos. I have never really seen one until Vincent told me about this kind of video. I must be officially old now... 

My talented friend Daniela Glunz shot these photos at my house last year. We had the best time! It ended n a colorful face painting session. I had rainbows coming out of my nose every time I would blow my nose after that day ;)  I wish it would be possible to do more shoots together, but we live far apart and the C virus is making it impossible at the moment. 

I have been working on my photography website and did some shoots in the meantime.
I think it is time to change things up a bit and throw in some non-black and white photos on my Instagram page as well. My heart still lies with black and white photography, but I feel that the market is oversaturated with BW photography.

Feel free to have a look at my photography page and contact me if you'd like to book a shoot with me someday when the storm has calmed down.

This how I spend most of my time when I am online. On the couch, underneath my blanket, with my laptop. 

However, I do miss being on the road and the current situation sometimes gets the best of me.
Here is what I do to make myself feel better during the days where I am not feeling all that great:

1. I start my day with a large glass of water to wake up my body and get my metabolism going.
After my breakfast, I jump in the shower.
My all-time favorite shower oil is the Almond Shower Oil from L'Occitane. This has been a favorite of mine for many years. I have the 500ml version and always buy the refills. Like this you save plastic ;) I have lost count of how many times I have repurchased this shower oil. 

2. Next, I pick a cozy outfit. I love to wear the high waisted leggings from Les Lunes and an oversized sweater. Staying in my pajamas or bathing robe all day is very tempting, but I am less productive if I don't get dressed. 

3. It is the colder time of the year, which means that I drink more tea! 
My current favorite tea is a spicy chai with almond milk. So yummy! I love the Yogi tea and the Bengal Spice from Celestial Seasonings. 
My favorite almond milk is the Rewe Bio Mandeldrink. I also use this to make my cappuccinos.

4. This next step is not a must, but I love it! Apply some red lipstick. Even if I don't leave the house, I still like to get ready. This has the same effect as getting dressed for me. I feel more motivated to be productive and feel more put together. Going outside with masks has taken away the joy of applying lipstick, I mean, why bother? That is why, when I am at home I do apply lipstick and preferably also a bright one.
The lipstick I am wearing here is '346 Scarlet Silhouette from L'Oréal Paris'.

5. As tempting as it might be to stay in bed with my laptop, I choose the couch. I also sit a lot at our dinner table and my office. But the couch is a great alternative ;) I find it is a good compromise between the bed and the dinner table. A laptop is portable, so I can change my office during the day. I am used to be at different places every day, I don't like to be at the same spot ;)


How does your home office look like? Do you prefer to work from home, or on a different location?

Hello lovely people!

Have you seen that I have joined the 'Reel Side' of Instagram? Well, not 100%, but almost ;)
I wanted to switch things up a bit on Instagram. I have been posting Instastories of me talking during the makeup application and I thought that it might be a bit tedious for some of you. 

I tried the Reel function and I must say that I am loving it! It is so fun to create and I can show you some of my favorite beauty products, without taking too much of your and my time!

Besides the 'Reel Stories', I thought it might be nice to show you some of my favorite beauty products from one particular brand. Today I am showing you some of my favorites from L'Oréal Paris that I used in one of my Reels. 


Glam Beige/Back to Bronze
This is my bronzer and eyeshadow in one. If I need to get ready in a short time, bronzer is always a great eyeshadow. The Glam Beige bronzer was a limited edition, but you can still find it online. I love it because it is great for lighter skin tones. Another alternative is to get a finishing powder, but in a couple of shades darker. 

Age Perfect Cream Eyeshadow - 06 Precious Bronze
It is so easy to apply, super pigmented, and won't budge during the day. They come in many different shades and can be worn on its own or as an eyeshadow base. A little bit like the MAC Paint Pots.

Voluminous Waterproof Mascara
This is my favorite drugstore mascara! It lengthens, volumizes, and lifts the lashes. I always go for waterproof mascara, because that is what works best for my stubborn lashes.

Super Liner Perfect Slim
A very easy to use eyeliner with a felt tip. After many years of applying eyeliner, I still sometimes just don't get it right. This helps me create a feline flick in seconds. I store it upside down between my make up brushes to make sure that the tip always has some product in it. 

Life's a Peach Blush
Peach blushes are my favorite and fit me best. They also make my blue eyes pop. A little tip; also apply a bit on your eyelids when you apply your blush, it ties your whole look together.

Color Shine - 656 Beige in the City
A warm nude with a slight metallic sheen to it. I love the scent of these lipsticks! It reminds me of the Yves Saint Laurent Volupte Shine lipsticks. It has a lovely fruity scent to it. 


Let me know which brand you would like me to do next. I was thinking of Charlotte Tilbury, Natasha Denona, Mac Cosmetics, KVD Vegan Beauty, Linda Hallberg Cosmetics, Zoeva, Laura Mercier, etc.

Meet my new furry friends! Two super cute black cats. I don't know their names nor their owners. They are a bit on the chubby side, so I guess they weren't alley cats. They were very trusting and let me pet them for a while. 

There is something special about black cats. I find them incredibly beautiful. I am not a superstitious person and rather think that black cats bring luck and joy ;) I fell in love with Thackery Binx from 'Hocus Pocus', back when I was a little girl. 

Do you know that black cats are least likely to be adopted from animal shelters? I will take all of them if I only could. We got Minou from an animal shelter back in the day. 

Luckily, our neighbor's cat Loki (who you see on my Instagram a lot), adopted us and all the other households around his house. We still get a lot of cat cuddles these days. 

Are you also a fan of black cats?
