The November Beauty Edit

Welcome to my monthly beauty essentials edit, which is where I am going to share with you a list of all the products I have been loving at the moment.

With the winter chills creeping in and many of us around the world in semi-lockdown, I wanted to focus on skincare and self care.

Starting with eyes, I have been using The Ordinary (which is finally available in Switzerland at Douglas) Caffeine Solution 5% and Teoxane’s R[II] Eyes together. I have been loving this combination and applied it religiously every night. The R[II] Eyes combines the Teoxane’s anti-aging complex RHA™ Technology with active ingredients that help against anti-aging and anti-puffiness. Whilst The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% is one of their hero products. This particular formula contains an extremely high concentration of caffeine, which really helps stimulate microcirculation, helps to brighten and depuff the skin’s appearance.

In terms of my face, I have been cleansing with my Foreo Luna Mini 3 and Micro-Foam Cleanser, then applying Chanel’s Lotion Confort as a toner. After which, I have been applying two pumps of Teoxane’s RHA Serum and their Advanced Filler moisturizer.

On my lips I cannot say how much I have been loving Teoxane’s [3D] Lip balm. I am a huge fan of the metal applicator and formula. It’s easy to apply and packed with nutritive ingredients, leaving your lips feeling super nourished and hydrated.

Last but not least, with all the hand sanitizer I have been using, I have been religiously applying lots of hand cream to ensure my hands don’t get dry. The one I have been using is Chanel’s La Crème Main. The formula is non greasy and hydrating. What’s more it has one of the most aesthetic packagings I have ever seen. It’s a true cult product amongst fashion and beauty addicts.

So there you have it. My current beauty favourites from this month. If you want to know more about my beauty and skincare products click here.

A Pop of Pastel

Pastels are really big makeup trend for SS20.

With the arrival of summer it’s a great time to switch up your usual makeup routine and be a bit more playful.

I received a gorgeous selection of makeup from Beauty Palast. They are a Swiss online makeup store with over 11 000 products including some of my favorite brands like Makeup Revolution which I usually only find when I go to London!

So, with the recent bright days, a spring summer look that was seen all over Fashion Week was pastel eyeshadows. From icy mints, pale pinks to baby blues, it’s a baby doll trend that first hit big back in 1959 when the Barbie doll was launched wearing pale blue eyeshadow. This makeup trend remained popular from the 1960s to the 70s; then it was revived in the 00s and is hitting us hard this summer! It might seem like quite an advanced and intimidating makeup look but it is actually super simple, fun and easy to do!

So here is my take on the pastel pop makeup trend:

1. First I applied a little cream eyeshadow on my lids to have a base. I love Eye Glisten in Adored By You from Makeup Revolution as it’s got a gorgeous finish (it also looks great just on its own)

02. Next, taking the pastel shade of your choice, blend it all over each lid. I chose an icy blue shade from Makeup Revolution Glass Shadow Palette in Mirror. Focusing on the crease and blending it up and out with a fluffy brush.

3. Taking a slightly darker shade, add depth to the crease and along your lower lashes. Creating a shadow, almost like a cloud of color around your eyes.

4. Last but not least, mascara! Apply a lot to the base of your lashes to really define them. I used the L.O.V Cosmetics IllusionEYES 24H Volume & Curl False Lash Effect Mascara.

5. If you want to go full 00s, top off the look with the glittery LIPvolumizer Plumping Serum Gloss. And be sure to add some body glitter!
