LOOKBOOK: Pinkfarbenes Minikleid im Rosenneuheitengarten in Baden-Baden & meine liebsten Beauty Produkte.

Erinnert ihr euch noch an die traumhaft schöne Miss Dior Parfum Werbung, die vor Jahren im Fernsehen ausgestrahlt wurde? Dort schwebte eine Frau in einem Traum aus Pink mit einem pastellfarbenen Strauß voller Luftballons über die Dächer von Paris - dieses Bild werde ich nie wieder vergessen. Ich liebte die Ästhetik dieses Werbespots und freute mich auch immer, wenn ich diese Annonce in der Vogue sah. Bald darauf gab es eine Werbung zu Miss Dior Cherie, in der wieder ein Model in einem Traum aus Pink die Bühne betrat: diesmal in einem barock anmutenden Garten, einem üppigen Rosentraum.

Beim Durchsehen und Bestaunen der Bilder eines meiner letzten Shootings mit meinem Lieblingsfotografen Florian im Rosenneuheitengarten in Baden-Baden fiel mir die Ähnlichkeit der Ästhetik dieser Bilder zu den Parfum Kampagnen von Dior ein.

Was liegt also näher, als über meine liebsten Beautyprodukte zu berichten, und euch nebenbei an der Schönheit meines geliebten Rosenneuheitengartens (und der dazugehörigen Bilder) teilhaben zu lassen? Die meisten meiner Beautyprodukte kaufe ich seit Jahren bei Douglas. Der Preis ist unschlagbar und die Sachen sind durch DHL verschickt meist zwei Tage nach Bestelldatum bereits da. Dazu gibts auch immer zwei Pröbchen und dass ich Pröbchen liebe, weiß wirklich jeder aus meinem Freundeskreis.

NEW IN: Ein Überraschungspaket von New Pharma mit Produkten von Vichy, Galénic, Darphin & Nuxe.

Werbung - Im September habe ich mich sehr über die E-Mail von Coralie von New Pharma gefreut. Es ging darum ob ich Interesse hätte, ein Paket voller High End Kosmetik zu testen, das auf meinen Hauttyp abgestimmt wäre.

Wie kann ich da nein sagen?!

Obwohl ich mich in keinster Weise als Kosmetikjunkie bezeichnen würde, sagte ich zu – bin ich doch durch meine empfindliche, trockene und dennoch zu Mitessern neigender Haut angewiesen auf hochwertige Kosmetik, die ich auch oft in der Apotheke beziehe.

Coralie stellte mir ein paar Fragen bezüglich meines Hauttyps und ein paar Tage später erreichte mich bereits mein persönliches Überraschungspaket.

BEAUTY: how to keep a beautiful, radiant skin.

[en] When I was little my mum already told me that there is a price to pay for beauty. It doesn't have to cost a fortune, though. Nevertheless you should always stick to quality before quantity and be mindful of only using skincare products containing high-quality ingredients – in the end you live your whole life in this very skin.

The women in my family passed this knowledge down from generation to generation.

My grandmother used the Estée Lauder Re-Nutriv face cream nearly her entire life – and by the age of nearly 90 you still cannot spot any wrinkles on her beautiful face. And also my mother looks much younger than you might expect. When I was in my early Twens some people mistook her as my older sister – I'm not joking! This year she turned 70 and also doesn't look her age. Her skin takes years off her biological age.

And if you think it's only the good asian genes which lead to this young and radiant skin then you're miscalculating something. I have already seen loads of asian women looking much older than the women en famille.

Of course it's not only a matter of the perfect skin care. You also should also be mindful of other things, such as:

• clean eating
• drinking enough water (2-3 litres a day are perfect)
• not smoking (i managed to stop smoking in '17 and it was one of the best decisions of my life)

Nevertheless the right skin care products are essential for keeping a radiant, beautiful skin.

IMPRESSIONS: my daily facial cleaning ritual.

[en] Advertisement - hi peeps! today i want to show you the products of my daily facial cleaning routine. i have never really been a beauty junkie or someone who would spend hours and hours in drugstores and such - on that score i'm quite narrow-minded but that's due to my very sensitive facial skin and that thus it's quite difficult for me to find the perfect products compatible with it. 
for a long time i was in search for the best products which don't cause allergic reactions and it really seemed like a never-ending journey. i also had problems with natural cosmetics because they often contain cotton and well ... it seems that my skin doesn't like such ingredients. 
well but some years ago i have found the items which are perfect for my skin (and i hope that they'll never be pulled from the stores XD).

for cleaning my skin and to remove makeup i use the 3 in 1 pureté thermale cleansing milk from vichy, which is only available in pharmacies but i often tend to buy them online because it's cheaper and more comfortable because i'm also often too lazy to go into the city to buy it there.

if i put on a more intense eye make-up (with chanel inimitable waterproof and zoeva black to earth) i start with micelles cleansing water with argan oil, which is perfect for waterproof make-up and use the vichy cleansing milk afterwards.

sometimes, if i think that my skin is too dry, i put on my weleda almond face cream which is perfect for my sensible and dry skin. it has a very smooth texture and not greasy. other creams for sensitive skin were way too greasy and caused me spots and well and i can't be expected to put up with that!

what are your essentials for your daily facial cleaning ritual and which products do you favour?
