Ok, normally it’s me who is hijacking Philipp’s stuff. But this time, it was different. On the last day when we were abroad, we did a so called “Pop Shopping”. Means, we go into a supermarket or drugstore and buy stuff that we don’t really need but looks really good.

This time in Stockholm I bought “Aussie 3 minute Miracle“. I saw it in so many swedish blogs so my choice was really easy. Back home in Hamburg I used it a few times. The strange point was that it started to get empty really fast.

One day I was wondering why Philipp smells like my Aussie Miracle. I said: “Hm that’s smells familiar to me.” He had a really bright smile and said: “I ordered a shampoo and a conditioner online. I felt in love Aussie!” ;)

He we go, our little Aussie familie. A nice product range that smells a bit too american to me but that is exactly the point that Philipp loves ;) And if the Aussie 3 minute Miracle is really a miracle? Maybe because Philipp is using a conditioner now….. That’s a real miracle to me! ;)

Here are some of my little helpers that have been following me the last busy weeks. I’m really in love with the “Dior Airflash” that I found in L.A. Also I’m a huge MAC fan. The powder and rouge are amazing. When it comes to fragrances “Chloè” is one of my favorites.

“Freepeople” is presenting a nice spring make up at the moment. All you need is some really nice brushes, an eyeliner and a nice base color. Never forget your eyebrows! That’s one of the most important things for a great look. Even if you look is really basic it gives you a great and easy edge.

As we were standing at “Sephora” where I nearly tried everything from “Nars“, I recognized an older woman next to us. Since her make-up was so well done I couldn’t tell how old she was. She was layering her legs with make up and put nearly everything in her face. After a while she turned at us and started to speak German. She was a make-up artist for TV productions and incredible 70 years old. Then she suddenly looked at me and said: I can recommend something for your kind of skin (cause I have some acne marks).
The product that she gave me was “Dior Airflash“. I have always been looking for a product like this. It is covering really well and so easy to use since it is an airbrush make-up. Try it if you can!

I love video tutorials as you can see. ;) These are from the “Freepeople Channel” The fall makeup is something that I’m going to try the next days.

In another life, maybe I would be a Make Up Artists. Of course I would work at “MAC” and would to tons of great looks at nice show ;)

Let’s go to France and let us look like the SS2010 collection of “Sessun“. I’m so ready for it!

This “Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair” dress has been following me for days. I see it where ever I am. Like today when I was in the city and it was hanging in a window. A few days ago I also saw it at “Styleserver“. The shape and the silk, just nice!

The atmosphere at the “Odeur” show yesterday was sooo my type. Slow minimalistic music, minimalistic moves, no extras, just the “Odeur” stuff. Totally wearable and so Stockholm like. I had my colleagues in mind the whole time cause they would totally fit in that stuff. Please buyers, go for it. There is just one little point: Next time better shoes please. I don’t wanna see “Vagabondd” on a Fashion show like this.

“Beckmans” is a Stockholm based Design-High-School that had a show yesterday. Nine students were showing their stuff. I like the kind of backbone leather jacket and the three other jackets of Maria Jenjé Lundqvist. The woman next to me said something like: “I just saw the new “Christian Lacroix” in Alexander Krantz.” Hm, I don’t know. Make up your own mind on the “Backmans XV – Mircrosite“.

Oh wow I love Make Up Magazines. Normaly it’s really not my style, because it’s too glossy. BUT Make Up Companies have always so nice product pictures. They always think about something new and using the whole color palette. Check out the “Make Up Store Magazine“, it also have some nice Make Up Tipps ;)

Normally I have a really colorful nailpoilsh. On saturday we were standing in the “Make Up Store” and looked so long on their colorful goodies. I could buy all of them, but the classic red jumped into my bag. In Germany we don’t have “Make Up Store“. It’s so nice to explore it.

Oh wow, I like this look of the new MAC Collection “Style Black“! I would love to do my Make up like this, but I think I need some more lessons ;) Maybe the Nail Polish is something for me, because I’m really good in doing my Nails ;) If someone is trying it, I want to see a picture! Ich glaub ich kauf immer noch MAC weil ich mir dann einbilde auch so auszusehen. ;)

A few months ago I spend so many hours with “Lauren Luke”. ;) I’m really not good in doing my Make up. So I searched at “Youtube” for help. “Lauren Luke” is showing how to handle a good Make up step by step and the is a real “Youtube Star” and has her own “Youtube Channel” with more then 200 video!!!! Now she is launching her own line “By Lauren Luke“! So if you need help, check her out or just watch and have a fun.

For me this winter will be “Matt vs Gloss”. My winner is “Asun – Make Up Store“, but I also like glossy white and glossy beige and still dark gray.

Since I’m using “Clinique” my skin is really in a better shape. I had some bad skin problems and started with the “Anti-Blemish Solutions”. Whenever I’m going to buy some new bottles, the salespersons give me something new to test. It feels like they are drug dealers ;) Once they gave me “Moisture Surge” to test. Wow, I like it. Ok of course it is a bit more expensive but you don’t need that much and it works. Ask the salespersons at “Clinique” for a trial. I’m sure you will love it.

“Dark Room Nail Colour” such a good name for this beloved nailpolish of “Sephora“. I’m hope you can be my new best friend. I will try to find you.

Here some tips of my friend who gave me some make up tipps. We also bought some new stuff.
1. Use enough concealer under the eyes. I was always to carefull
2. If you have bad skin like me, you can use the a wet sponge for your make up. Just hold the sponge under water and wring it out a bit. Your makeup gets like a cream and covers your skin longer. Work in the make-up in small steps.
3. I always had the wrong rouge color. The color should be close to your lipcolor. We bought a new one for me – L’Oreal Nuance Rouge
4. Use a lipliner, we bought two colors, one for a nude lipstick and one for a dark one. I took Artdeco.
5. My Kajal was not really black, more gray. Take a really black one and test if it’s black black – Artdeco
6. I like the golden eyeshadow. Before I put it on, I use a lighter eyeshadow as a base – L’Oreal chrome shine
7. Here the biggest change. I had the false brushes. Now I’m using this one from Body Shop. They are not animal hair but also fine. I’m using an eyeshadow blender, a slanted and a rouge blusher.
8. I love this tipp! I did it wrong my hole life. When you use mascara, don’t push the color back from the top again. Put all the color from the top of the brush to your lashes. Just use the top of mascara brush. Then use the brush from your mascara to spread the color. Here both are from Artdeco. Then use the separate brush for lashes. I didn’t know the brush before. It’s so so great because it makes such a great look.

That’s it! Do you have some more tips for a beginner like me?
