Trip to Istanbul!

Hello my dear readership!
At the moment I am here in Istanbul enjoying the turkish culture. Not only the huge markets but also Kebap and Turkish Coffee are worth trying! Everything is chaotic but absolutely beautiful except the weather but nothing to stop you from having a wonderful time.
Today we went to Istinye Park which is a huge mall north-east of the city with all fancy brands you can imagine. They even had a Bath & Body Works shop there which made me go nuts for a second. I will talk about the things I bought in my next post as soon as I am back home in Germany!
The places you can see here are breathtaking! We will even visit a Hamam tomorrow. It's a turkish bathhouse which I really need after all that running around today. If you want me to upload a post with only pictures of Istanbul write your opinion down in the comments!
I wish all of you a wonderful and sunny weekend and until my next post from Germany!
Yours Kate

My Spring Favourites

Hello ladies and lads!

Sorry for the little posts lately. I feel really bad for not uploading any posts in the last month but I will try my best this month! My university is occupying all my time yet now I finally found a gap to write about my latest spring favourites so enjoy.


Beauty-Favs


I stumbled upon some lovely products in march and after some time testing them I can really recommend them. What I really loved was my Clinique all about eyes rich cream. It's a firmer texture that melts into the sensitive skin of the eye area when being applied. Since I had huge problems with dry skin in the region of my eye this cream removed the dry spots and made my skin look young and radiant around the eyes. If your skin is arid and tends to be very sensitive you should try this cream. In my case it worked really well and I am really glad to have found it. 

Sticking with the topic of sensitive skin I found my Holy Grail of deodorants in Rituals Qi Gong Deodorant. After being applied it keeps you safe from any smell and gives you the feeling of freshly washed armpits. Even after workout I can say that I don't smell bad at all. On top of that it is convenient for people that usually get rashes after applying normal deodorants especially after shaving. There are only two minor downsides. The first downside is the fact that it contains aluminium which is rumored to be noxious and secondly it leaves white marks on black shirts which can be really annoying at times. For black clothes and especially for white cotton shirts I use the Nivea Invisible for Black and White Deodorant although it doesn't prevent the smell of sweat that good. 

Up next is my highly beloved nail polish from Essie called pink about it. The colour is the perfect pastel pink. Applying it right can cause it to stay on proper for long and it suites the spring so well that I can't stop wearing it which also explains why it's half empty already. Love it!

Another thing I can't get enough of this spring is my Labello Lip Butter Vanilla & Macadamia. It smells yummy, it gives the lips a nice glossy touch and it makes my lips irresistible soft. What can you ask more from a lip butter?

Now to my last beauty favourite the Batiste Dry Shampoo Floral and Fruity Blush. Let's admit that we all have those days when showering is one of the things we really don't want to do and then suddenly you have to appear somewhere and your hair looks a bit greasy. For that problem there are some products out there promising nice and fresh washed looking hair but when sprayed on you decide to go shower straight away since it feels like something is clinging to your scalp. With this dry shampoo it's really easy to have a lazy hair wash day! When applied it doesn't look like your head is completely sprinkled with icing sugar, it smells good although you should really not inhale at any rate and it takes out the grease without giving you a funky feeling on the scalp. Yay to lazy hair days then!


Fashion Favs


This spring it is all about the bling! And finally you can find wonderful compositions in the stores lately when it comes to statement necklaces and earrings. Last year the colours were mostly neon-coloured but since they evolved into pastel I am totally up for it! With jewelry like this you enhance every outfit and give it the right touch. I bought the necklace, the turquoise-, peach-coloured earrings and the wonderful crested ring at Bijou Brigitte and the blue earrings at Six.

I hope you were inspired to get your bling on and hope you enjoy the spring with its moody weather and slowly approaching summer in broad outline. What is your beauty spring fav this year? Is there something you can't go without when it comes to fashion pieces this season?

Have a lot of fun and I hope to see you next time!

Yours,
Kate
