I can´t remember when I last stood outside enjoying the warmth of the sun, which isn´t not good as I like to keep my summer tan as long as possible, haha. I naturally am very pale so I love every single product that can help me look a bit more bronzed and are easy to use. Unfortunately bronzing products can really easily have an orange undertone but the products I´ve picked are perfect for pale girls:

I generally never use fake tans apart from these tan drops from Clarins. The reason why is because with normal tan I fear that it gets patchy or too dark, but these tan drops are really easy to use as you mix it into your night cream or body lotion and so you can decide by how many drops you mix in, how dark you want to go. Normally I use 2-3 drops and a bit more moisturizer so it´s enough to also work it into my neck. The next morning you get a really natural slightly taned finish. It wears easily off by using a toner, so no need to scrub it harshly off.

I think I´ve mentioned my love for this foundation more than enough by now haha, so I´ll go straight to the shade I´ve picked it in. To be fair I´m really pale and often get foundations in the lightest or second lightest shade availabe, so I was a bit worried at first to go with the shade Medium, but it´s such a natural slightly browner shade without any undertones (not orange in the slightest) that I can easily work it in without getting that weird colour difference between my face and neck. I do like to use my The Body Shop Honey Bronzer to set it and then also on my neck but generally it´s not necessary to put a light bronzer on. When I´ve used the Clarins Tan Drops the night before it looks even better, just like I´ve just come back from a vacation, haha.

If there´s one thing I´m just not good at, at all it´s getting a sharp contour. So instead of keep trying I love to use a nice warm bronzer to get a bit of shape and warmth on my face. I´m not the biggest fan of drugstore bronzers as they tend to be too orange but the Maybelline City Bronzer is something else. It´s a warm brown shade, perfect amount of pigmentation to build it up. I like to use a brush like this from Look Fantastic as it´s the perfect size to put some powder under and over your cheekbone to get a more natural look. This bronzer also has a tiny bit glitter in it, which I love as it´s doesn´t look too heavy and muddy when wearing it.

If you are one of the few people who doesn´t own or tried the Nars Laguna Bronzer it´s definitely time to do so! It´s definitely a lot more pigmented than the Maybelline Bronzer and is also more glittery but I have to say it´s just the most amazing eyeshadow - yes eyeshadow, haha. As a bronzer it was a bit too much for me, but as a eyeshadow it´s just perfect. You don´t need a lot powder to get that natural brown smokey eye look for everyday and the best thing is that you could actually wear it without a primer underneath - and that´s coming from someone with oily eyelids. I don´t know why but it doesn´t budge at all the whole day. 

Now that I´m all fresh and bronze-y I like to add a nice decent glow. When I´m not getting ready for a night out, where I definitely prefer a strong glow, I like to use a more natural champagne-y cream highlighter like the Sleek Highlighter Dome. It´s just sooo pretty, it doesn´t have glitter particles in it so you get a decent shine by lightly tapping and blending it onto your cheekbones with a beauty blender. You could also just draw a line with it on your cheeks but I find it then harder to blend. It stays on really well and doesn´t look cakey on top of foundation.

How do you get that Bronzed Look on during the Winter?

Lately I have been experimenting more with my makeup again and have also watched more tutorials on Instagram or generally how other girls apply makeup, so of course my wish list got longer as well.

I have been using some products on my wish for a while and they really have become favorites, which I will certainly buy again and again, others looked so great on other girls that I absolutely need them now and again others are absolute new products, where I just already know that they will be amazing haha.

I've already tried several different foundations, but IT Cosmetic's CC Cream really beats them all. Although it is high coverage, it doesn't look cakey on the skin, rather the opposite - the skin looks more even and simply more beautiful. Redness, pores and blemishes are easily concealed without irritating the skin as this CC Cream contains hyaluronic acid, vitamins A, B, C and E among others. In addition, it has a SPF of 50+, so perfect for all year round!

I think there are 3 different versions of this CC Cream already. So far I've tried the original and the illumination one - I think the illumination is a bit too glowy for me, because when wearing it, I get the urge to apply more powder haha. The original is a perfect mix of Glow and Matt and therefore brings a very natural skin appearance.

I had already talked about this mascara in a previous post, but again for everyone - it's absolutely awesome!

The Formula is enriched with microfibres and so gives your lashes extra length but at the same time also a lovely amount of volume. In my opinion it kinda looks like fake lashes when I have this mascara on. Another plus is the "Air-Lock" Brush, with this brush the mascara dries out more slowly than any other mascaras as there´s no way any air can get into the tube. Apparently this mascara is also used for the Dior Fashion Shows and if that doesn´t make you want to try it, I don´t know what will, haha.

Another great Mascara is the Controlled Chaos Mascara from Shiseido. I use it ever since my sample of the Dior Mascara is empty and it´s so hard to decide between these two! This one gives less volume, but makes my eyelashes so long, but without making them look like spider lashes. In addition, I don't even need an eyelash curler to get a nice curl, the mascara does that all by itself.
The Formula is a lot wetter, but if it's a bit dry, you can work with it very well.

An absolute classic! If you haven't tried Pixi's Glow Tonic yet, you should do so as soon as possible! At the beginning I couldn't imagine what would be different about it than about other tonics, but my skin has changed so positively since I use this product. The skin was on the one hand not so oily anymore, but had a healthy shine and on the other hand I hardly got any blemishes! It is so rare that I get pimples now. I always think I got most of my makeup off after using my beloved micellar water, but when I apply this tonic afterwards, so much more dirt and makeup gets of my skin, and so I can feel a huge difference immediately.
So I'm absolutely thrilled and can't say more about it than that everyone has to try it out!

Well, actually, loose powders aren't mine at all. I always find they feel really heavy and weird on the skin and clog my pores more than covering them - not to start with the white backflash that some loose powders give when pictures are taken with lightning - ugh!

But this loose powder from Becca consists of 50% water and glycerine, which gives the skin a kind of blur effect and therefore definitely sounds great. Because of the water mixture, the powder gives moisturize to the skin, so it doesn't crumble like some other powders. The color selection is now rather semi, but I think you should be able to work with it just fine to set your concealer properly.

Origins GinZing Tinted Moisturizer

I love Tinted Moisturizer! They always give a really beautiful natural shine and let the skin look more even. In summer, when I use makeup, I prefer them, because they are a lot better for the skin than normal makeup in the heat. With this one I'm even more sure it's a bomb, as the GinZing series is generally great. I used the Moisturizer myself once and was very happy with it.
The product matches itself to the skin tone and also protects the skin with a SPF 40.

Meanwhile everyone says how lovely Fenty Beauty products are, but there are still a few people who have never tried anything - here I am!

To be honest, I am a bit overwhelmed with the selection, but a few products have already stood out for me due to many recommendations. On the one hand the Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter in Girl Next Door / Chich Phreak - an absolute beautiful peach-coloured highlighter. I can imagine that it gives a wonderful touch of colour and freshness especially on light skin. I would also like to have the Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer in Fenty Glow. This is an incredibly beautiful nude colored gloss that makes the lips look fuller and that can never hurt haha.

Last but not least I would like to have the Photoshop in the tube - the Pro Filt´r Longwear Foundation + the Pro Filt´r Primer. I saw this duo on a girl on Instagram once and it looked like Photoshop! Since she also posted InstaStories with this foundation, it really can only be the foundation that gave this incredible finish. I really need them! 

I prefer individual lashes to classic fake eyelashes. For me they are easier to apply and I can always decide for myself how many I want where, or where I want to put the accents. So far I only have very natural lashes from KISS, but recently 3D Individual Lashes from Ardell came out and my heart was beating faster! When I still had my eyelash extension, I always had 3D lashes, so with those from Ardell I could theoretically get exactly the same look again, so I'm really looking forward to trying them out soon.

Since I discovered Coach's perfumes, I don't use any others. The two previous versions, Classic and Floral, smell so pleasant and hold so well without being too heavy in the nose. So when I saw at a beauty fair that another new version was released, I was very happy! Of course I tried it right away and it is my favourite fragrance of all three versions. It doesn't smell as flowery as the floral, but still very feminine and fresh. The ingredients here are grapefruit, goji berry, peach and peony, among others, so it doesn't get any better than that.
As soon as my current perfume is empty, I´ll buy it.
