Female Crush: Kelly Osbourne

I am so jealous. How did she manage it too loose 25 kilo weight??!!! She is so pretty now. She is 1,58 m tall and weighs 50 kilo! I want to loose weight, too. Aargh!

I know, this is just a cartoon, but look at her abs. Haha...

I am really trying to loose weight, but it is so hard. I have to do constantly more cardio. But I am so lazy at the moment because it is so rainy outside...

Have you got any tipps to become more motivated doing sports?

DIY: Mixing nail polishes

This was just a trial. But I am really happy with the result. I watch a lot of yt-vids and discovered a very nice nail polish color named "I'm Suzi & I'm a Chocoholic" by OPI's Swiss Collection. It is a brownish-red and a beautiful fall color! 

Actually I started doing a research at ebay.com in order to buy it. But then I thought of mixing it by myself. I took a plastic bag and started to mix Essie's "A-List" with p2 Cosmetic's "Rich and Royal".

I am so satisfied the result! I really like the color very very much!

Balea Handlotion & p2 cosmetics LE "Meet me at 12:30" Lipstick

I have found a new handlotion by Balea at DM. It smells of vanilla and sheabutter. It softens the skin and spends so much moisture. I like the handy packaging (330 ml). One pump and you get enough product.

So sad that it is just a limited edition! I have to buy an extra one for my desk at office, so I can use it there.

Actually I wanted to stop buying drugstore lipsticks, but I couldn't leave DM without buying this color of the p2 Cosmetics limited edition "Meet me at 12:30". It's a great nude color for darker skinned - fantastic brown.

OMG, I am so excited!!!

Vacation in Turkey

We were on vacation in Turkey. It was so damn relaxing. We had a load of fun for 11 days. As opposite to the weather in Germany it was wonderful. The sun was always shining, we had around 30 °C.

One day we took a Turkish Bath (Hamam). It was so good, we felt very clean and fresh after sauna, total body scrub/foam massage, facial treatment and total body massage with almond oil. It was a good experience.

Shopping in Turkey is "okay". I didn't buy so many things there. Just a few clothes...that's all. Strange for me, but I wasn't interested in buying makeup there. I have often seen the brand flormar which is also available in Germany.

Here are a few impressions of our vacation.

Lil' Drugstore dm Haul

Here I am with a tiny drugstore haul. I went to dm (a German drugstore) and bought just a few things:

Blend-a-med - 3D-White / 1,75 €

I have read so many good reviews about this toothpaste. It promises whiter teeth in 2 weeks. Actually I don't believe in this but anyway I will give it a try.

Garnier - Pure A Daily Treatment Moisturiser / Garnier Hautklar A Tägliche Feuchtigkeitspflege / 3,95 €

My day cream is nearly used up and now I wanted to try out a new one. Because I have been using the same cream for four years now. Although I am satisfied with my current day cream, I think it's good for my skin to get a change.

I will make a post about my current skin care routine soon.

P2 - Define your lip line! lip liner / 2,25 €

P2 is dm's own cosmetic brand. This lipliner is transparent. I love it. Now I don't need to look for the matching lipliner for my lipsticks. 


Have you used a transparent lipliner before?

Kneipp Bath Crystals / Kneipp Badekristalle Balance Fuer Mich / 0,65 €
It's getting colder in Germany. At this time I love taking hot baths. There is nothing more relaxing. This is a bath essence scented in lotus, jasmine, orchid and rice seed oil. Can't wait to have a bath.

Shoe Haul

First of all I have to show you these pair of heels. I got them from my friend. She can't wear them, because she is pregnant. I like them very much.

I bought two new pairs of shoes recently. They are kind of ballerina pumps.

 

They look really simple like you can see. I am going to wear them at work.

5 Reasons to love 100 % pure Argan Oil

This is my personal beauty secret for getting soft skin or shiny hair.

Argan oil is suitable for every skin type. It's extracted from the nuts of the Argan tree (Argania Spinosa) which is located in the southwest of Morocco. Be sure to buy 100 % pure Argan oil.

Benefits

1. It's a very good skin moisturizer and it keeps the skin's natural oils balanced, that's why it can be used for dry and oily skin.

2. Turns dull hair into shiny and vibrant hair

3. Helps against acne. By daily use it can even reduce acne scars

4. Helps repairing split ends, so it makes a great hair conditioner

5. Prevents early skin aging 

How I use it 

• I use Argan oil after washing my hair. I place a few drops in my hands and work it through my hair. Then I take a little more and massage the ends.
  
  
• After washing my face I apply argan oil with a cotton pad all over my face and I leave it over night. The oil is quickly absorbed. So it won't disturb you.

There are so many benefits of using Argan oil. So it's nothing wrong in trying it. You won't regret it.

Wanna get a natural look? - MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural

Actually I am a bargain hunter, but everybody is crazy about MAC and I have heard only positive things about it. So I decided to buy my first MAC product.

As it is really difficult to find fluid make up or powder in dark shades in Germany, I decided to take the Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Dark.

It is described by MAC as:

"A luxurious domed face powder with minerals, slowly baked to provide a dimensional yet natural-matte finish. Provides perfect low coverage. Use to set and fix foundation or as a touch-up throughout the day."

On working days I use this powder alone. I also use it as my setting powder. I apply it with a powder brush to get a light coverage. If I want a full coverage, I apply the powder with a sponge. It gives me a lovely natural and matte finish.

Would I buy it again?

Yes, definitely! I really like the finish. It feels so silky and gives me a light glow on my face. I am very satisfied with this product. My skin is very soft and it doesn't look cakey at all. 

Negative aspects:
I don't like the packaging. It doesn't come with a mirror or a sponge.
I got the feeling that I have to touch-up the powder during the day especially on my oily T-Zone, but I wouldn't like to carry it with me. I am afraid it will break.

Price: 26 €/$

Ingredients:

Talc, Mica, Dimethicone, Polysorbate 20, Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil, Yeast Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate, Retinyl Palminate, Lauroyl Lysine, Isopropyl Palminate, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Magnesium Aluminium Silicate, Bht, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Phenoxyethanol, CI 77891, CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499, CI 42090, CI 77163, CI 75470, CI 77289, CI 77288, CI 77510, CI 77742, CI 15850, CI 77007, CI 19140, CI 15985

I heart breakfast

Yesterday my honeybunny and me went to a café to take a breakfast. It was sunday morning and we woke up late. You all now I love breakfasts on sunday morning.

 

This was our breakfast:

Milk Coffee

Croissants, Bread rolls

Omelet with tomato and mushroom

Pancake

Afterwards we went to hospital in order to visit family friends. They have a baby. That was soo cute!

New Fashion Jewelry

By coming home from work, I stopped by H&M. Actually just to have a look around, but then I fell in love with these earrings. They are so pretty. I have a weakness for big earrings. However I only wear gold-colored jewelry. 

...and these jewelry were presents by my mother-in-law to-be. She is so cute. She always buys something for me when she goes to Tamil shops.

This necklace-set has such a pretty color. Recently she brought me a saree in the same color from Sri Lanka.

Bangles are a must-have when you wear a saree. These golden-black ones will match up to every saree.

Here in Germany there are only a few occassions for wearing a saree. I always enjoy it.

Do you like wearing saree or are you fed up with it?

Love,

Thiya

First Award: 10 random things I like

Yeah I received my first blog award by Fashion Fairytale. She is a cute German blogger. 


And now I have to name 10 things I like...

1. My family: I am so happy that I got them. They are always there for me and I can trust them. Especially my sisters. I love to meet my mum & dad & my sisters and spend time together. We don't live near each other, so these "meetings" are quite rare.
   
   
2. My boyfriend: Although we are living together, I love to go out with him. I hate being at home all the time. A perfect date would be: going out to a nice restaurant and afterwards to cinema OR cocktails at a cool bar and then dancing.
   
    
3. Friends: On a Saturday evening meeting friends spontaneously and spend a nice evening. That's fun!
   
    
4. Summerrain: In the morning when I wake up and the rain is pattering down on earth. I love the sound. It is nice to know that it is summer and it is not cold outside.
   
    
5. Music: I can't imagine a life without music. Sometimes I hear a certain song and I can remember special moments.
   
    
6. Online-Shopping: Even on sundays all shops are open in the internet. I love to order clothes at H&M, make up or other lovely things at ebay.com. I can hardly wait until the postman comes and brings me all the wonderful stuff I have ordered. I love unpacking them.
   
    
7. Chocolate: Yes, I have to admit I am a Chocolate-Lover.
   
    
8. Books: I love reading books especially written by Barbara Wood. You must read "Virgins of Paradise". It's sooo awesome. I like good family stories with suspense.
   
    
9. Breakfast: I love taking a breakfast on Sunday mornings. Waking up late and taking a yummy breakfast instead of lunch. With various bread rolls, smoked trout or salmon, cheese, jam, fried eggs, ...
   
    
10. Weekend: I love my weekends. There is nothing better than having free time. Just doing what you want and spending time with your loved ones.

Now I'd like to tag:

I love burning lips

Here comes my declaration of love to Carmex.

It is the best lip balm I have ever tried. It makes my lips sooo smooth and it really moisturizes. It feels light and sheer on my lips. Most of the lip balms I used so far dried up my lips as soon as I stopped using them but with Carmex they remain soft.

It smells so good. It reminds me of Vicks VapoRub with a touch of vanilla. When I apply it on my lips there is a nice cooling effect. My lips are slightly burning. Curiously I love this feeling :-)

I have even tried Carmex under a lipstick and it looks and feels great! It is the No. 1 lip balm in the U.S.A. Even stars and make-up artists use it.

 I prefer the original Carmex in the jar more than the one in the tube. Which lip balm do you use?

Heat - Catch the fever

Hello ladies,

for the last days the weather was very cloudy and rainy... It feels like autumn. Usually it has to be sunny and hot here in Germany. But eiter way there is one good thing...this is the perfect weather for wearing the first perfume by Beyoncé Knowles. It is called Heat and the scent features notes of red vanilla, orchid, magnolia, neroli, and blush peach. It comes as a Eau de Parfum. 

The first impression I get from this perfume is that I love the bottle. This combination of red and gold and its shape is just sexy! Surprisingly the fragrance is very fruity at first. But later it gets more deepness. I like it. But I think it is more suitable for autumn/winter times. In summer I like to wear flowery scents.

You can get 30 ml for 24 €/32 $.

Anyway it is a must-have for all Beyoncé fans. 

If I were a boy...I would marry her!

Do you know what? I love Beyoncé Knowles! I just love everything of her: her beauty, body, style, music,... just everything! Lucky Jay Z to have her.

House of Deréon is the fashion line by Beyoncé and her mother Tina Knowles founded in 2004. It is named by her maternal grandmother Agnèz Deréon. House of Deréon represents the three generations of women. Its tagline is "Couture.Kick.Soul".

In 2006 Beyoncé and her sister Solange launched the junior line Deréon which is cheaper priced. The tag line for Deréon is "Where the sidewalk and catwalk meet". Recently the ad campaign for Deréon's Fall 2010 collection was released. You see a much different Beyoncé here, but I love it! Changes are good for her business. Who wants to see the same Beyoncé for years?!

How do you like the new Beyoncé?
