Decisions, decisions!!

Bare Minerals Tinted Illuminating Mineral Veil Review
What Bare Minerals Says It Does: Tinted Feather Light Mineral Veil is completely sheer and versatile enough for all skin tones. It provides a soft glow with a hint of warm tint and keeps skin looking photo-fabulous all day long. Light-refracting pearls float over your complexion with weightless transparency for a radiant, delicately ethereal softness. It's a complexion perfectionist. 100% pure bareMinerals offers the ultimate, translucent finishing touch with a hint of warm tint to your makeup. Feather-light, completely sheer, and versatile, it morphs into skin, infusing it with softness and light for a dewy, soft-focus finish. It absorbs excess oil, minimizes the appearance of pores, and keeps skin soft and fresh. So sheer, it works for all skin tones.
What I Say It Does: Overall this is a very nice product to have if you want a soft glow for special events like prom, a wedding, a date or some type of party. I would not recommend it for every day use because it creates such a soft glow that It only makes sense to wear it for special occasions. Like the original it gets rid of oily spots (without making your skin look dry) and it gives a nice tint to my skin but it also creates a heavenly glow. I will stick to the regular tinted mineral veil for everyday use and use the illuminating one for special days. It work for all skin tones and creates a dewy look while getting rid of oil. As far as minimizing pores I did not personally experience that but its still a great product for getting rid of oil. If you love the results you can pickup one from qvc.

The Sartorialist im Interview
Was gibt es viel vorneweg zu sagen, zum kleinen Mann, der einen eher kläglichen Eindruck in Berlin hinterließ!? Wahnsinnig oberflächlich schien er, aber möglicherweise muss man das sein, um der erfolgreichste Streetfashion Fotograf werden zu können. Dennoch gelang uns ein - wie ich finde - gutes Interview mit Napoleon, der ohne Frage den Raum mit Existenz füllt, sobald er ihn betritt. "I really don't like to get to know people too closely!" Na dann...

Hair: Steps I took to making my hair healthy again & minimizing heat damage.
SO, this is what I've been doing. I went to Sally's and purchased Folicure Shampoo and Moisturizing Conditioner. It states on the packaging "Cleans and moisturizes dry, damaged hair, Imparts luster to damaged hair and Promotes fuller, thicker hair. Folicure Shampoo was was created to to clean gently without stripping away natural nutrients found on a healthy scalp. Daily use will help keep hair fuller and thicker. Moisturizing Conditioner is the first everyday use, rinse-out Folicure conditioner. It leaves fine, delicate hair smooth, shiny and full while stimulating the scalp with a refreshing tingle."
I also purchased the Folicure Vitamin Supplement for Healthy Hair. This states "Nourishes hair from within, Promotes healthy, full, lustrous hair. Strong, healthy, lustrous hair requires the proper amount of nutrients on a daily basis. Due to busy lifestyles and the resulting poor diet, men and women today often lack proper nutrition for healthy-looking hair. Folicure Dietary Supplement ensures that you take in the necessary amounts of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients for your hair to look its best."
AND, last but not least, these amazing rollers. Caruso Professional ProSet Steam Hairsetter. These rollers are so much better than using a curling iron. It isn't like putting direct heat on your hair and hair spraying your hair and listen to your hair sizzle and burn. You fill this little steam pot with water, put the lid on, plug it in and wait for it to start steaming, then you put a roller on top of the pot where the steam is coming out, let it sit there for 5-10 seconds and put the roller in your hair. Whats in the sponge roller is the warm steam and moisture that is locking in the curl in a non damaging way. You let them sit in your hair for a minimum of 10-15 mins and you have great waves or curls :)
I started washing my hair with the shampoo and conditioner not using hot water, but lukewarm and then rinsing the conditioner out with cool/cold water. Then, I could brush it with a natural bristled brush/boar bristled brush. I use that instead of a plastic brush, which isn't easy on my hair and causes breakage. The natural bristle brush minimizes breakage and they also redistribute oils throughout hair, boosting shine. Then, I distribute a leave in conditioner in my hair and let my hair air dry. I may go to sleep with damp hair and wake up and distribute a heat protector on my hair, concentrating on the ends, and flat iron straighten my hair. Then of course, I take my supplements twice daily. (Sometimes I forget, I have to really get in the habit of not forgetting!) And I also try not to wear my clip in extensions as much.. as they do put some strain on your roots. AND, I let my hair go natural some days (curly) with very minimal products.. which I would never do before.
What have I noticed? I'm noticing that my hair is always soft and shiny, and that my split ends aren't 1/4 as visible as they were before. My hair is actually growing.. I'm not sure how much it has grown.. but at least a couple to a few inches. I can't tell exactly because I didn't take any before pictures.. and my hair actually was so damaged that I would never go without wearing extensions. I'm really convinced that I will get my long hair back.. I'm hoping I will get it below my chest by Christmas. I will keep you posted!
I found this web page really helpful! They have some good hair tips! Check it out. http://www.longlocks.com/how-to-grow-long-hair.htm
What are some of your hair routines to get your hair looking its best? What are your favorite products??
(By the way! By no means am I saying to go out and buy everything I use, I just wanted to share what I use and whats seems to be working for me.. there are so many similar products and brands that probably are better (I just haven't discovered yet :)) or work differently depending on the person.)
This was my long hair in high school... :)
Für mich und meine Freunde...

Smashbox Lip Enhancing Lip Gloss in the shade Aura is a sparkling pink with fine pink, purple and golden glitter. For the amount of glitter, you'd expect the formula to be gritty, but it's surprisingly very smooth and moisturizing on the lips. It's quite sheer, but looks beautiful paired with any pink or nude lipstick.
Do you have any favorite products by Smashbox? Share in the comments below!

Statussymbol 02
credit: colette
In Heidelberg hat sie jedes Perlhuhn, Verbindungsgroupie oder wie man sie sonst noch nennen mag. Mädels mit Perlohrringen, hochgestellen Poloshirtkrägen, Jeans und Timberlandslippern, die sich bevorzugt in der Näher von Jungkorporierten Jura- o.ä. Studenten aufhalten, dauernd in Hoffnung auf den großen Fang.
Dass diese Tasche daneben aber auch unwahrscheinlich praktisch ist, vergessen die meisten. Ich selbst besitze zwei davon in unterschiedlichen Größen und spiele mit dem Gedanken mir eine dritte zuzulegen. Perfekt als Weekender Reisetasche oder auch BUKO (aka BeischlafUntensilienKOffer, wie die Mutter meines Korporierten früher immer zu sagen pflegte). Scherz beiseite: Jeremy Scott hat einmal mehr Hand angelegt an die Les Pliages und ihr ein hübsches Muster verpasst. Für 149 EUR ist das gute Stück bei Colette online zu haben. Durchaus eine Überlegung wert (für mich aber vielleicht dann doch eher in schwarz...).
Rückblick auf In an absolut world...
und noch weniger Geschmackssache.
Im Grunde ist sie eine unsympathische,
launische Partyzicke, mit der wir alle besser
oder schlechter klarkommen.
Mit einer guten Flasche Wein
bei tiefsinnigen Gesprächen
kann man es aber ganz gut mir ihr aushalten.
Gestern sind die guten Stücke (das 11. absolut Bild, das jeder von uns Teilnehmern exklusiv für die Ausstellung angefertigt hatten) nun versteigert worden und die Münchner Bloggerausstellung fand ein Ende. Julia und Jessie hatten übrigens ein kleines Filmchen gedreht. Wer also nicht nach München fahren konnte, um sich alles in Ruhe anzuschauen, der kann das nun digital nachholen:

I just can't stop loving you
credit: pedestrian.tv
Möglicherweise ist das der cheasiest post ever. Noch viel cheasiger als der, den ich gepostet habe (ich verlinke das jetzt hier mal nicht), als Deutschland damals im Spiel gegen Italien kurz vor dem großen Finale aus der WM geflogen ist - was mich zugegebenermaßen schon sehr mitgenommen hatte. Michael Jackson ist tot und ich bin gestern Nacht spontan erwachsen geworden - noch ein bisschen mehr, als ich es ohnehin schon bin. Nun sitze ich im Oberholz und höre mir dieses unendlich kitschige You Tube Tribute Video an, das ich auf Pedestrian gefunden habe und bin den Tränen nahe - ernsthaft! "I just can't stop loving you" - das muss man sich mal vorstellen - und denken tue ich dabei an 1993, als ich mit meiner Mutter (die mich heute morgen um 7 komplett aufgelöst anrief) und meiner damals besten Freundin Susi im Frankfurter Waldstadion (so hieß es damals noch!) tanzte und ganz vorne in der Ferne Michael auf die Bühne geflogen (!) kam. Auch wenn ich Dich über die Jahre ein wenig vergessen habe, Michael, und auch wenn ich die meisten Deiner Ansichten nicht teilte, Du wirst immer einen Platz in meinem Herzen haben. RIP!
Best song ever. Hier im Original (nicht einbettbar!) und hier im Lady GAGA Mash-up (lange lange wird keiner an den King of Pop heranreichen können...):
David Steinhorst
Ich befinde mich gerade in Vorbereitung für den ITS Award, dem ich Mitte Juli in Triest beiwohnen werde. David Steinhorst sitzt in der Jury und da fühlte ich mich daran erinnert, dass ich den jungen Londoner, der übrigens im vergangenen Jahr den Award mit nach Hause nehmen durfte, ja bereits auf der 080 Barcelona Fashion letzten September kennenlernen durfte. Nun hoffe ich auf ein Interview...
