I'm a big follower of K Beauty Trends and cushion has been a big trend since last year. It has since branched out to more than cushion foundations. Lip Cushions are already quite common in Korea and i'm quite surprised to see that Catrice includes some Korean make up inspired products in their Spring/Summer 2017 collection. So, Catrice Lip Cushion , is it a top or a flop product?

 Like the claim, it's a medium pigmented lip gloss. The colour pay of is just so so and but if you like natural looks then this is the product for you.
I tried dabbing the product onto the lips and it produces a sheer colour that's very pretty for a no make up look. Swipe if you want more pigmentation.

All the product wipes off. It still leaves a kind of tint on the lips but the lasting power of this lipgloss is pretty disappointing.

What i think of it
It's an "okay" product. I didn't expect so much from this but it's just meh.
The color pay off is medium, which is what i usually like but the texture of it is so sticky ! My hairs and fallouts from scarfs were all stuck on my lips.
But heads up because it is an interesting product and the colors are actually very pretty for asian skin tones!
Is It Worth Buying?
Catrice Lip Cushion for me is a meh product.
But if you like lip gloss and want to try something interesting, this may be it !

2016 is already over! I did a lot of things during this year including being active again in this blog. I also really got into beauty and make up this year! My collection has grew and these are some of the top picks that i would like to recommend ! I tested them during the year and it's time for you to get to know them! HAPPY NEW YEAR !!

fashion blogger best of 2016
best cleanser
 Kose Softymo Deep Cleansing Oil
I've been using this oil all the time for the first step of my double cleansing routine. It gets all waterproof make up off and you don't even need to rub hard. This cleansing oil is also very affordable ( 7, 82 Eur for 230 ml ) !

Origins Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash
I stumbled upon this product in Douglas Frankfurt Zeil and decided to try it out!
A little goes a long way and it's very mild yet effective. It doesn't leave the skin dry yet cleanses all the grimes and dirts inside the pores.

best skincare products

Garnier Hydra Bomb Tuchmaske / Sheet mask
I'm a big sheet mask mania and i've been testing out different sheet masks from a lot of brands. This one is available in DM and Rossmann in Germany and is the best sheet mask i've ever tested so far. It really moisturizes the skin and the effect lasts for days. I have to admit that it is kind of pricey (2 Euro pro sheet) but it's up to par to high end korean brands.
Origins GinZing Energy-boosting Moisturizer
The GinZing line is enriched with caffeine and vitamins to give your skin an energy boost. My skin always look replenished and glows after i apply this in the morning. The texture is light and gel-like but is very moisturizing. This product suits oily skin types really well because it doesn't contain any oils.
COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All in One Cream
i mostly use this cream at night or as a sleeping mask. This has been my gateway to loving COSRX Products ! Read my full review on this cream here 

best make up
Pony Effect Everlasting Cushion Foundation
This is my go to winter cushion ! The formula is really thin so it applies really naturally with a dewy finish. The puff is also invented by Pony herself and it's called the dough puff. It lasts all day and even better when you put a primer underneath! This is a certain must buy for korean cushion lovers.

Aprilskin Magic Snow Fixing Cushion Foundation
I discovered this cushion from beauty vloggers and this was my summer cushion. The coverage is amazing and it lasts the whole day as well. It has a natural matte finish which is perfect!
Take a look at my full review here. 

Benefit Porefessional
This primer is one of the holy grails of beauty bloggers all over the world. It refines pores and makes your skin super smooth. This is perfect for people with oily skin like me.

 Anna Sui Rose Cheek Color N 301
I got this as a gift and it's a really beautiful blush! you can mix the colors together and it gives you a very nice flush. The pigmentation is really strong so be sure to use it with a light hand.

Aritaum Color Lasting Tint in No. 6 Cranberry Shower
I always wear this if i'm going out for a long time. The color is a very flattering dark pink / cranberry which is amazing on yellow toned skin. The name is not only a promise, it really lasts a long time even after drinking and eating snacks!

best hair products

John Frieda Frizz Ease Wunderkur
This is the ultimate treatment for your hair. It's not oily yet nourishes every hair strands. I've been using this once a week and have seen immediate results. The hair is smooth and easy to style for days after you use this product.

Schwarzkopf Glisskur Tägliches Öl-Elixier
This is the reason my hair is really soft and nourished even though i wash my hair everyday. I usually apply it when my hair is still wet and it just smooths all the frizz and adds shine. I would recommend this to everyone who has dry and unruly hair!

best lotion

L'occitane Hand Cream
These are until now my favorite series of hand cream. I tried 3 or 4 variants of it already and it always smells wonderful. They are never sticky so it's comfortable to use it during studying or going outside. The size is perfect to carry around!

Rituals Honey Touch Body Cream
Jacqueline introduced me to this body cream and got me this for my birthday. The texture is very creamy yet light. You can easily apply it on and the scent is also very relaxing.
You get a nice amount of product for the price and you only need a little bit every time.

Baseball / Snapback Caps
This year i've been known as the girl who wears caps all the time. This is a life saviour when i'm having a bad hair day. It also elevates a simple outfit to a swag kind of style. 
Minimalist Jewellery
less is more. That's the style look i aimed for in 2016. Adding minimalist jewellery to your outfit of the day adds more accent points without doing too much. 

best life
 Kpop , K Hip Hop, and K R&B
These are the things that i've started loving in 2016. My favorite artists have been Dean, Zico, Blackpink, Big Bang, and the whole AOMG crew. 

Family & Friends
They're the ones that make my life merrier ! The stars of my instagram and snapchat stories :D
Cheers to great memorable moments in 2017!

Hey people what's up? This week in Marburg is so dark. The weather is getting colder, it rains everyday, and the streets are all wet. I've caught up with a large portion of uni work so i can relax next week.

I took these photos when i was in Hannover , exploring the Herrenhäuser Gardens and hanging out with some friends.

Leather jacket is a must have for fall season. It is versatile to pair with a lot of other fall staples and gives enough warmth to go through the fall season. I definitely have been wearing this jacket a lot this fall because it is so practical. This jacket in particular has a lot of zipped pockets that is safe for keeping your precious good such as keys. It even fits my Iphone 6S!

Now, on to some good news! I've started dancing again in The Movement Dance School in Marburg and am now a part of the team!

The hype of Snail Products finally get to me. I decided to get this Snail Cream when i was in Indonesia after reading heaps of reviews about what the best snail cream is. COSRX is the new hyped brand loved by many instagrammers, youtubers, and bloggers alike. Tried, and tested; here's my review of the COSRX Snail Cream.

cosrx advanced snail all in one cream

cosrx review

What it says it does :
- moisturises effectively
- prevents skin damages
- speeds up skin regeneration
The COSRX Snail cream includes 92% Snail Filtrate which is filtered in an animal friendly way. They put some filters on the bottom of the snail's pens and extracts the filter from there.
cosrx snail
What's included?
100 ML of Snail Cream
An extra lid inside of the outer lid
a small spatula to scoop up the product

What i think about it
The texture is really interesting, thick yet sticky but it is not that sticky to bother me
can be used as normal moisturizer and as a sleeping mask ( just apply the cream a little bit thicker )
It's very moisturizing but contains no oil
makes your skin super smooth & glowing the next morning
I found out that it calms my skin if i have a lot of acne and speeds up the recovery
Is it worth buying? 
I will say yes. There's no real research about the effect of snail filtrate on human skin but i have noticed some really nice differences after using this cream. The COSRX Snail cream is perfect to use during the dry winter time!

Friday was the highlight of my week, i hung out with fellow fashion bloggers Nadya, Milkha, Bella, and Sonya in Kota Kasablanka Mall. It's been a while since i've gone out with them and i had a great time catching up! We had lunch in the new Bakerzin Kota Kasablanka. The place is really lovely to hang out in and take pictures!
