My December Beauty Favourites

Hello my great readership! Happy New Year to all of you!

This article will be in English to see if I can spread my writing over a few borders and give more people the chance to read my blog! I hope you will enjoy it!



I will start off with the one thing making this winter a lot better and filmier. The summer had a huge bunch of fresh and breathtaking fragrances followed by some softer and powdery smells in autumn. Yet on a Christmas presents haul I came across Prada Candy in my favourite perfumery. One sniff was enough to persuade me. The caramel note mixed with a warm woody basis is the ultimate christmas time parfume. It reminds me of sugar coated apple by the fireside and I really don't want to miss that fragrance anymore!




The next product I really loved this December was a present by my best friend for Christmas. A lot of bloggers have already reviewed this lipstick yet I haven't tried it until then. The lipstick I am talking about is the Maybelline Baby Lips in the colour Peach Kiss. Not only the smell of it is delicious even the finish makes my lips look moisturized and soft with a hint of colour. For the rather low price it is in high competition with the Chubby Stick from Clinique which lacks the delicious smell and the nice finish. All in all great price, great lipstick!



And this is how it looks put on:


From the lips to the nails! This time it's not just one nail polish but a whole bunch of them. Since December includes Christmas and New Year (well last sort of) it had to be more than one special nail polish! For Christmas I wore a black base from Manhatten to top it with the OPI Oy - Another Polish Joke! Nail Laquer. Both assort well with each other and give you an unique look.



The next nail polish favourite was the colour toogle to the top by Essie. It's a darker red mildly purple glitter nail lacquer I wore on New Year. It lasted forever and looked beautiful! 




The last top product of the month is an insiders' tip for people with problematic skin that don't react too well to fluid makeup. The Perfecting Foundation by Priori. It's a loose powder you apply in circles with the matching brush. It contains the extract of Coffee Berry which is said to be a powerful antioxidant. The powder also has a SPF of 25 which makes it a good companion for the summer also. I love the way it makes the skin look natural and beautiful with a very light healthy shimmer. I use the powder with the mineral powder foundation brush by Artdeco. I think they go together very well and the hair is soft and captures the perfect amount of powder for applying.




I hope you all enjoyed reading my blog! I would love to know if you would rather read this in English or German next time! You can leave your comments below!

Until next time!
Yours Kate
