Galerien Wochenende in Berlin



Wer dieses Wochenende in Berlin ist, der kann bei schönem Wetter durch Mitte (und angrenzende Bezirke) schlendern und dabei einen Blick in die ein oder andere Galerie werfen. Viele der genannten Lokalitäten nehmen Teil am alljährlichen Galerienrundgang, der in erster Linie dazu dient, zu zeigen, was es so gibt und was man so hat, besonders auch an Räumlichkeiten, Entfaltungsmöglichkeiten, etc.

Mac Cosmetics Double Dazzle Review and Swatches

Mac Cosmetics Double Dazzle Review and Swatches. I adore the look of Mac Dazzleglasses, shimmery colors that make your pout pop. Each shade is truly unique and different and if you think you've seen the color before just try it on your lips and trust me you haven't seen anything like a dazzleglass. If you're dying to get anything from the collection there is no rush since many of the colors expect Goldyrocks, Stop! Look!, and Utterly Posh are permanent.

My Swatches and Review
I picked up only 5 shades from the collection. Making sure to get Goldyrocks since it was permanent.



From Left To Right Swatches of
Goldyrocks, Rags to Richies, Date Night, Get Rich Quick, Love Alert,



My Thoughts: As you can see from the bottles Date Night was my favorite, I swear it's almost gone :(. Luckly it permanent so I can always order another one. Get Rich Quick is perfect if you love browns and neutral shades along with Goldyrocks. Love Alert is a bright red color that looks super fab while Rags to Richies is a pretty pinky tone. Love it! The glasses are a bit sticky but most lipglosses are. They look great paired with your favorite lipstick or worn alone.

Mario Testino is a designer



oder auch nicht. Ach, ist es herrlich an einem so schönen Frühlingsmorgen einem so schönen Mann dabei zuzusehen, wie er zeigt, dass er mit Chuck Bass nicht viel gemeinsam hat... Anyway. Ed Westwick is hot!

Lurve Magazine bei Wood Wood

lurve magazine @ wood woodcredit: zana bayne

Seit Zana in Berlin ist, ist Berlin irgendwie spannender, durch ihre Augen, nachzuverfolgen auf ihrem Blog, für mich noch ein wenig spannender, da ich ja irgendwie kaum mehr in Berlin zu sein scheine (Hamburg, Mailand, Hamburg, Hamburg, München, Stuttgart, Hamburg...).
Gestern traf ich Zana auf der Straße, nichts ungewöhnliches für Mitte, wo man dauernd irgendjemanden trifft den man kennt, so auch Lea, mit der ich vor Jahren in Stuttgart studierte und die ich seitdem in lockeren Abständen in anderen deutschen Städten in zufälligen Zusammenhängen wiedertreffe, und die meinen Namen rief, als ich mir dem Rad auf der Kastanienallee an ihr vorbeifuhr. Also Zana jedenfalls ist jetzt in Berlin und arbeitet dort auch für das LURVE Magazine, dass einen sehr internationalen Anschein macht, aber aus Berlin kommt. Am kommenden Donnerstag findet die Release Party im Wood Wood Store in der Rochstraße statt. Dafür bemalt Zana eine Wand des Ladens mit dem Cover des Magazins. Erste Bilder dazu zeigte mir Zana sofort und postete sie anschließend auf ihrem Blog...

Milano #2 Maison Martin Margiela

r5-05 r4-12 r4-10 r5-08credit: dezeen.com

(Interiour) Design ist eine feine Sache, aber nicht mein Hauptinteresse. Ausnahmsweise war ich nur Begleitung und erfreut in Mailand auch Dinge sehen zu können, die direkt mit dem was ich tue zu tun haben. So beispielsweise die Präsentation der Interiourdesign-Linie des Maison Martin Margiela in der Via Savona. Das Haus wird greifbar:

‘Mat, Satiné, Brilliant’

Maison Martin Margiela introduces its concepts of interior architecture through an installation, ‘Mat, Satiné, Brilliant’, which recreates the environment and atmosphere of its interior design workshop using a variety of creative expressions of the Maison’s identity and philosophy.

Milano #01

milan april 2009

Geregnet hat es wie aus Kübeln (zumindest an Tag 2 und 3), die letzten beiden Tage und 10 Grad kälter als in Berlin war es auch, dafür sehr viel inspirierender und wenn Mailand die hässlichste Stadt Italiens sein soll (so habe ich gehört), dann möchte ich gerne alle anderen sehen (ok. in Venedig, Florenz, Rom, Bozen auf Sardinien und auf Sizilien war ich schon und da war es auch überall ganz gut). Bei kaltem Regen jedenfalls war es sehr erträglich. Nachdem ich nach 3 Stunden Schlaf und einem Nickerchen im Taxi zum Flughafen und Nichtschlaf im Flieger um 7.30 Uhr in Malpensa gelandet war, verbrachte ich den Rest des Tages samt Gepäck in der Mailänder Innenstadt - wo ich feststellen durfte, dass es bei ZARA wirklich jedes Schuhpaar noch in Größe 41 gab und einige davon mir sogar passten und zwei in meinen Besitz übergingen.

Gegen 18 Uhr machten B. und ich uns auf den Weg zur Porta Genova wo eine völlig menschenverstopfte Brücke über Eisenbahngleise zur Via Torino führte (nein, da stand keiner für irgendetwas an, die wollten alle einfach nur über die schmale Brücke rüber), während der Möbelmesse auch Zona Tortona genannt, eine Mischung aus Schlesischem Tor und Bricklane, deren letzte Ecken und Winkel Platz boten für diverse designbezogene Darbietungen, die kaum mehr meine Aufmerksamkeit erlangen konnten, nach rund 22 Stunden Wachzustand.

Shadow Shields Review

Shadow Shields Review. Recently I purchased Shadow Shields a new way to protect your eye makeup from giving you raccoon eyes. We all hate raccoon eyes and yes it can be caused by your eye makeup. Shadow shields offers a simple solution, simply place the shield under your eyes when applying eye makeup to reduce the eyeshadow from falling down and giving your raccoon eyes.



What Shadow Shields Says It Does: Shadow Shields are the only product of its kind to truly eliminate messy "raccoon eyes" caused by applying eye makeup. Recommended and used by industry leading makeup artists and makeup enthusiasts world wide, Shadow Shields are also ideal for lash tinting, extensions, and airbrush!
They are half moon shaped adhesives that are placed under the eye before applying eye makeup. Any excess product that falls is caught by the shields, leaving you with clean under eyes!!
Shadow Shields are giving women everywhere the confidence they need to apply eye makeup, while making the job of a makeup artist a little easier!

What I say It Does: I love love this product. I hate getting raccoon eyes when trying to create the perfect smokey eye look. The shields are a great new addition to my make up collection and I would recommend them to any girl that loves wearing eye makeup. They are easy to use, you simply peel them off from the adhesive on the back and place them under your eye. Make sure you do one eye at a time. There are two ways to prevent raccoon eyes when you are applying eye makeup, shadow shields and by applying your eye makeup first and then your foundation and regular makeup. I would not recommend using this product everyday, but for those days when you're applying smokey eye looks this is the perfect product to use. You can purchase shadow shields for only 16.95 and you get 50 shields. You can also cheat and use one shield for two eyes. The shields will also last you a while depending on how often you use them.
