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.
My Favorites
IT Cosmetics CC Cream
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.
Dior Diorshow Mascara
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.
Shiseido Controlled Chaos Mascara
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.

Pixi Glow Tonic
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!

BECCA Hydra-Mist Set & Refresh Powder
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.

Fenty Beauty
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!
Soon-to-be Favorites
Ardell Individual 3D-Lashes
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.
Coach Blush Parfüm
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.

There´s something so pleasing in finding skincare products that actually work well for your skin. Origins is one of those brands that I know work for me and so I have put together a little collection of products that are definitely worth a try and which I really use on a daily to weekly basis.
GinZing Energy-Boosting Moisturizer
This little pot of delicious orange smell godness is my morning moisturizer and definitely something for one who likes watery creams.
It is a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer that instanty hydrates your skin and give it a beautiful natural glow. It contains ingredients like Coffee Beans, Lemon, Grapefruit, Orange and Sparemint Oil which gives it, it´s absolutely pleasing fresh smell.
I find this product sinks in really fast and so I´m ready to continue with my makeup in an instant without having to worry about dry skin underneath. You really only need a tiny bit as, because of it´s watery texture, it´s really easy to spread all over your face.
Clear Improvement Face Mask
This face mask has been my very first product I got from Origins. Back in the days when the black charcoal masks where hyped on the internet, I wanted to try one myself and got luckily this one as a present for Christmas.
It´s as you can see a mask made out of Bamboo Charcoal, which acts like a magnet to clear your pores, and White China Clay, to absorb environmental toxins. It´s said to be used 1-2 times per week and so I do, I cleanse my face before applying it and then simply rub a fair amount all over my face, leaving it on until it has completely dried down (no worry you´ll notice when you can´t move your face,haha) and then I wash it off with a warm wash cloth. My skin feels abnormally soft and clean after using it. After a longer time period you can definitely also see a difference in your skin.
The only thing that is kinda weird but is probably because of the amount of charcoal in it, is that this masks smells a lot like play-dooh clay, it is bearable but I just wanted to mention it, haha.
Drink-Up Intensive Face Mask
On days where my skin is drier than the Sahara, this mask is my only rescue.
It is a rich, hydrating overnight masks that includes things like Avocado and Apricot Kernel Oils and also Japanese Seaweed that helps repair skin barrier´s to prevent future dehydration and signs of premature ageing.
I was never really interested in overnight creams, as I thought they would feel really heavy and leave my skin like an oily mess, oh I was soo wrong!
This masks sinks in quite fast, like you can still feel it when you lay in bed, but it feels rather nice and cooling than heavy, and in the morning I wash the leftovers off and my skin feels sooo hydrated, plum, glowy and just sooo lovely :)
Apart from that this product also smells like those mask they use on your wellness trips. Very soothing, cosy and fresh.

I´m so glad to be able to write this post, as it means that I finally found a skincare routine that really makes a difference to my skin.
Skincare was for me, a few years ago before I started blogging, an complicated and maybe even a bit scary topic. I didn´t know which skin type I had, so I also had no idea which products I should get to keep my skin in a good condition.
More and more brands bring out product that contain charcoal. The black colour of those products might scare some off from trying them but trust me, they´re basically one of the best things to really do something for your skin and teeth as the charcoal is strong enough to really pull out any leftover dirt or oils from your skin and whiten your teeth in a short amount of time!
