I´ve tried myself through many, never really knowing what embraced my eyes and my face the best. More volume? Long lashes? I was completely clueless and so had to give out quite a lot of money and a lot of mascara tubes landed in the back of my makeup drawer.
Well, until I´ve stumbled across a video over on Facebook, where the girl was using the
L´Oreal Telescopic Mascara!
I can pretty confidently say, I have found the mascara of a life time.
I´ve never felt sooo good while wearing mascara than with this one!
I do have to say though, I have long lashes because I´ve been using RevitaLash for a long time now, but this L´Oreal Mascara just adds sooooo much more length on top of it, that my lashes reach my brows pretty easily.
The wand is pretty much straight and so doesn´t put any clumps on your lashes but rather concentrates to reach every single lash, even the small ones at the corner of your eyes.
I find putting the wand at the start of my lashes and just slowly blinking while pulling the brush up is the way to get the best finish.
This way you really get the full effect and I don´t have to use a lash curler, cause the mascara brush pushes my lashes pretty much up and they stay like that for literally the whole day!

After doing that for a few times my lashes are, as I already said, incredibly long, defined and beautifully seperated. It doesn´t dry immediately so you still have time to seperate lashes that might stick together without any problem.
I´ve used it with so many looks, like you could wear it naturally everyday or with a bit more and eyeliner on the evenings or with eyeshadow and I will promise you, you´ll notice a huge difference on the whole look in comparison with other mascaras.
Personally the Telescopic Mascara really opens my quite small eyes and honestly makes me look soooooo good!

For a price of about 9€ per bottle, it´s totally worth it and if it would be easier to get in Germany I would force everyone around me to try it, haha :)
With this mascara I will definitely ditch false lashes and I´m sure it will stay in my daily makeup routine for a very long time! Xx

Hair care has always been a topic in which I´ve been absolutely clueless.
Long thick hair is quite hard to work with, so my straightener is my go-to hair tool in the morning to make my hair look atleast a bit presentable. How you can imagine, straightening my hair since the last few years has done quite some damage to them and so I have recently started to try out some more hair care products, specifically for damaged hair, some have been hits and one has been an absolute miss...
Toni & Guy Nourish Reconstruction Mask (8€)
Oh my godness this mask has made shooting this post so pleasing! My whole room was filled with the delicate smell of this mask and made me feel like I was in the middle of a salon, haha :)
I use this mask once a week, mostly on Sundays, to prepare my hair for a stressful week. After washing my hair with shampoo and conditioner, I massag this mask into the lengths and wait a good 5 - 10 minutes, then wash it off and welcome my soft, nourished hair.
It´s totally worth it´s price and I would honestly recommend it to everyone, no matter what hair structure you have, give your hair a bit of a wellness experience and thank me later when you touch your hair for the first time after using this product, haha :)
Ojon Damage Reverse Hair Serum (22€)
Before discovering this serum through my LookFantastic Advent Calendar, I never heard of the brand, Ojon. I´ve been positively suprised by this as only a few drops are enough to transform my hair into a light, shiny godness. I honestly can´t stop touching it afterwards, haha. It includes the "golden elixir of nature", the ojon oil, which nourishes, repairs and adds shine to your hair. It can be either used as a heat protection or finish product, however you decided, you will love it! The oil sinks in immediatly, that´s why I also love it so much, as nothing is worse than having oily hair strands!
After using it for a longer time period, you´ll notice that your hair really feels a lot better and repaired... :)
Redken One United Treatment (12€)
An all-in-one talent is this Redken Treatment.
It does everything for your hair you could ever wish for, it nourishes, softens, repairs, prevents frizz, makes it easier to comb through, etc. just to name five out of the 25(!) purposes this spray has. I simply spray this product into my wet hair and blow dry it, and I can instantly feel a difference. The effect of this treatment gets stronger when you use it together with other products, but honestly with this price you can´t go wrong with it!
Toni & Guy Casual Radiant Tropical Elixir (10€)
An absolute favourite of mine is this Toni & Guy Elixir.
One pump rubbed into the length of my wet hair is enough to leave them silky soft, shiny and a whole lot better to work with. Instead of making my hair heavier, this oil adds a bit of volume to my hair and even contains UV, so it´ll definitely go with me on holidays!
It is made of a blend of oil, including coconut, sweet almond and sunflower seeds leaving your hair with a lovely scent, like you have just come out of the hair dresser salon.
OGX Coconut Water Weightless Hydration Spray (10€)
OGX is a brand that I stumbled more and more often over on Instagram after introducing it to my mum aswell she decided to buy this coconut water spray. I´ve tried it out myself quite a few times and the smell is an absolute dream, it smells really rich of coconut and all in one just really tropical and lovely. The actual purpose of hydrating my hair isn´t really fulfilled though, I do notice a small difference but because it´s so expensive and I need quite a lot of this product per washing I wouldn´t purchase it myself, I might try their shampoo and conditioner once but this spray will sadly not make it´s way into my shopping cart
What are your favourite hair care products?
I´m a sucker for bold colours during the summer time, but sometimes, I´m sure you can all relate, it´s just soooo much more comfortable to wear nude shades.
Nude shades fade away aswell, but it´s not as obvious as when bold shades do and so you can enjoy your ice cream cone without having to worry about your lipstick only sticking to the edges, you all know what I mean, haha. I also absolutely love the versatile of nude shades and how easily they can compliment a pale skin tone, but also a nice tan skin.
For blush I adore a natural peachy shade that only adds a hint of colour and so adds that certain something to perfection the look and make me look sunkissed and more alive...
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm
I´m a big fan of these Lip Creams in general, if you haven´t noticed by how often I mention them on here, haha.
This shade specifically, has quickly become one of my favourites over the last few weeks, it´s a gorgeous beige with a pink undertone that compliments my fairly pale skin perfectly. The Soft Matte Lip Creams are a dream to wear, very comfortable, very soft and velvety, doesn´t dry the lips out even after it has dried down to it´s matte finish.
It´s one of those lipstick shades that you could wear to a heavy makeup look or just on a lazy day, where you only go for brows and mascara so all in one it´s perfect for the upcoming hot summer day.
L´Oreal Lip Paint Lacquer in 101 Gone with the nude
Now that we´ve got the matte lip lovers covered, we also need something more shiny and glossier to wear. I don´t own that many lip glosses as most of them are really sticky and are really bothering me in my everyday tasks, well this one from L´Oreal is completely different. The slightly bend applicator makes it really easy to re-apply this gloss on the go, the colour is really pigmented, which is unlike, for me, for a lipgloss, and like I already said it´s not sticky at all.
The colour is a more orange-y/peachy nude, a totally eye catcher for the summer and again, works very well with my skin tone. I like to wear this gloss when I´m on the go with white clothes as it adds that certain something that makes you look more put together and also a girly hint, which I really adore.
L´Oreal Perfect Match Blush in 160 Peach
I don´t reach for blush very often, I´m more of a bronzer girl, but if I do go for blush I prefer to go for settled colours that only put a bit of natural colour to my cheeks and make my skin look more alive. This blush does exactly that thing, and now that I´m talking about it, I can´t wait to use it more often again. It´s a really cute, highly pigmented blush, together with a hint of shimmer, it really puts a natural peachy glow to your face and stays on for such a long time, it´s crazy to think that this product is really from the drugstore. Another tip from me is to use this blush also on your eyes to make the peachy summer look complete...
Manhattan Cosmetics Contouring Kit in 001 St Tropez Glow
The last summer product is not really peachy but I just had to include it in this post as it reminds me so much of neapolitan ice cream, and that is pretty much summer for me, haha. Coming back to this palette now, it´s one of my favourites for traveling as you´ve got everything you could need in one product.
The highlighter is absolutely lovely, very strong yet natural champagne glow with the tiniest bit of glitter.
The bronzer has a bit of an orange undertone and seems to me like a caramel shade so
it´s perfect to enhance your summer tan or atleast make you look like you´ve been on holiday recently, haha.
The blush in this palette is a gorgeous deep, kinda oriental pink with small golden glitter particals that I like to use on holiday a lot as it also really compliments a fresh tan.
What are your favourite peachy summer nude products?
I´ve recently decided to treat myself to some new skincare bits and bobs and of course makeup couldn´t be left out and what other side than FeelUnique should I have chosen to do so?
FeelUnique offers a huge range of international products, everything from makeup to tools, to skincare and haircare. I really had to hold myself back and only search for the things that were on my wishlist instead of strolling around the pages as thinking back now, I´m more than sure that I would have given in and would have ordered lots more stuff that, deep down, I knew I don´t really need but might look good, haha.
In the the those 3 products made the cut into my shopping cart...
Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant (58€)
I got introduced to this product through the LookFantastic Advent Calendar and at first I thought it would be too harsh to use everyday, because it really similar to a peeling.
First of all though, this product is a white rice-based powder that you use after cleansing your skin. You put the amount of half a teaspoon on your wet hand and put some a tiny bit of water on your other hand and rub it together, til the powder transforms into a firmer paste, then you simply massage it into your skin for about a minute and wash it off with warm water. I more than love how soft, yet still hydrated my skin feels afterwards.
Using it on a longer time period, this microfoliant will remove dead cells and so make your skin a lot softer, smoother, brighter and removes blemishes.
It´s quite expensive, but since you only use half a teaspoon per day from a 74g bottle, it´ll easily last you 3-4 months, and to be honest I would be willing to pay even more for it as the result is just amazing.
REN Skincare V-Cense Revitalising Night Cream (40€)
I´ve been on the hunt for a thick and moisturizing, but not oily, night cream for my combination skin for quite a long time now, well until I´ve stumbled across a sample of this cream also in my LookFantastic Advent Calendar.
I´ve used it on and off and wasn´t sure if I liked the product enough to purchase the full size, but after using this night cream after the microfoliant and seeing how my skin was constantly improving I knew it would be a good invention.
This night cream is a thick white cream that includes ingredients like Boswellia Carterri & Boswellic Acid for smoothing lines, Vitamin C, E and A for strength and radiance and Citroflavonoids for protection.
What I really like about this product is that it sinks in really fast and doesn´t leave a thick oily layer on your face when you wake up, cause that´s what I absolutely hate about the other night creams I´ve used before. Like I already said this cream has helped me to keep my skin moisturized and clean, so I´ll keep on repurchasing :)
L´Oreal Telescopic Mascara (14€)
This mascara is by very far my absolute favourite drugstore mascara in the whole world!
I´ve purchased it for the first time when I was in London back in April, since it´s not available to buy in Germany and after trying it out and experimenting with it in the first few weeks, I knew I would have to find a way to get this mascara over to me for a reasonable price, cause no mascara that is being sold here would ever make me feel as pleased as this L´Oreal one does!
The wand of this product is nearly a stick with really small bristles, which I first thought would leave my lashes stick together with the biggest amount of mascara on them, well I was wrong as it parts my eyelashes really well, makes them unbelievably long and doesn´t make them feel crispy after the mascara has dried but rather really nice and silky!
I will definitely post a picture of my lashes on my Instagram really soon as the results are just unbelievable! Bye lash extensions and false lashes...
Have you used any of these products before? What do you think about them?

Love.Laughs.Lipstick
Another beautiful blog, with lovely photography, really detailed and girly, just how I love it! The one thing that made her outstanding for me was, that on her blog she mostly talks about products that are unknown, like she doesn´t review products that are being talked about on 20 other blogs, and that´s what made her unique for me :)
All products are budget friendly so another plus point for her haha!
She doesn´t only talk about makeup but also about things like perfume, and technic stuff, so if you´re interested in that, definitely check her out!
My Laura Life
The photography on this blog is absolutely lovely, for everyone who adores girly, bright, pinky pictures!
