Studying essentials

Since I have to study a lot in autumn, here are my two essentials I can't live without.

First of all I always carry a hand cream with me. I love to ceep my hands hydrated and soft. During long hours of sitting over my books I like to feel good and fresh. 

My favourite hand creams are from L'Occitane and this one is in the scent 'Cherry Princess'.

Second I need a lip balm or a very mouisturizing lip gloss. This time I went for one from Maria Galland in the flavour strawberry.

And during studying I also need vitamins, coffee and sometimes a chai latte....

Marilyn Monroe MAC collection

Recently I purchased some items from the new Marilyn Monroe collection by MAC. 

They brought out some great lipsticks, which I fell in love with and I also got an eyeshadow. 

The packaging is just lovely and they really went for nice details, such as in the inside, just when you open the box....

 

I got the eyeshadow in the colour 'Silver Screen'. This colour is very pigmented and I think I am going to pair it with liquid eyeliner.

These are both lipsticks: The left one is in the colour 'Pure Zen' and the right one is called 'Scarlett Ibis'. 

They are very different colours, but I think I'll get a very good use out of both.

mhmmm....salad...

For summer I love to make salads mixed with almost everything. I like to have them with tomatos, cucumbers, eggs, bacon.....

First I prepare all the ingredients, such as slicing tomatos or cooking the eggs.

Then I make the dressing and mix everything together.

And that's it!!

You get a delicious salad :)

I <3 hamburger

Sometimes I really enjoy cooking with my boyfriend. 

Most of time it's really fun and lots of the yummy things are actually really, really easy. 

Recently we had some home made burgers and potatoe wedges. Most of the time I rather eat more healthy food, but sometimes I can resist...

 

You need:

• meat
• burger buns
• salad
• tomatoes
• cocktail sauce 
• ketchup 
• onions

We also had some potato wedges to go with the burgers. 

 

First my boyfriend roasted the meat and also spiced it a bit. 

I made the salad and sliced the tomatoes and the onions. 

After that we sat to the table and each of us could create his own burger :)

 And then finally...my result!!!

It was just delicious :)

New In

Recently I got a new Chanel nailpolish. I couldn`t decide, which colour would be nice for summer and also looked for some pastel colours. 

But as I saw this one, I couldn`t resist. It was just to gorgeous. It looks just amazing, just like black pearls from the South Seas. 
I can`t wait to try it out and I think, that this colour is also very wearable for other seasons, but will look stunning after beeing tanned. It´s gonna be great for warm summer nights, when going out and I think that I`ll really enjoy this one.

topcoat? basecoat? or both?

From left to right:

Essie-rock solid

Chanel-top coat velvet

Essie-no chips ahead

I normally use a basecoat, as well as a topcoat. 


Since my nails are a little bit weak and like to chip very often, I always use a basecoat, which hardens my nails and makes them stronger. Currently I`m using the one from Essie and I`m quite happy with it. It really hardens your nails and mine aren`t as soft anymore, as they have been.


For a topcoat I currently switch between the Chanel mat topcoat and the one from Essie. 
It always depends, how I want the colour to look: very shiny or mat. 


In my view, the Essie nailpolishes have really great quality for their price. They give a nice finish and they have some amazing colours. Further, they`re very longlasting, which I like, because I don`t want to do my nails every day. 


The Chanel ones also have really unique colours and I have sticked to this brand for very long. 
The only con is, that they are more of a one day nailpolish,  because they chip much  faster. 
But I`m really into some of their signature colours (Rouge noir for example) and decided to overlook the fact, that they chip that fast.
