current make up collection

Inspired by Jenny's Make up collection post, I wanted to do a make up post too.
Everything here is what I like to use now. I use most of the items on a daily basis. I'm already curious to see the changes in my future make up collection posts.

Looking at these pictures make me realize that I don't have as many japanese make up as I would like to have. That's definitely a thing I want to change in the future.

I've also marked my very favourite items with a star.

The reason why I don't have a lot of japanese make up is that I like to buy things in stores and thus get them right away. I hate to wait   But I really adore japanese brands more. I would like to add some new blush from Majolica Majorca or Sleek. But I can also hold on things I really like... for example the blush from Jill Stuart. I bought it 2 years ago haha. Also my Dollywink liquid eyeliner has nearly finished. So I have to replace it soon. I'm thinking of a brown colour one but also heard good things about KATE's waterproof eyeliners. I wouldn't rebuy my concealers although I like them, but I want to try MAC's or Clinique's or the one from Benefit. And I don't have anything from Paul&Joe yet. 

Ah so many new things out there to try !

Owl and autumn earrings

Some owl and autumn themed earrings I got from I am.


These are items from their "Into The Woods" collection. This collection should reflect the colours of the forest, which I think they did quite well.


Ceramic owls. So cute !


Golden squirrel and an acorn. Actually I don't like fashion jewelry. I think jewelry is made to last. And those just get broken or lost so easily. But it's a nice change. And I just love love autumn




Did you ever see golden and ruby red leaves falling into a little shallow river and get carried away from the water? Or a passage full of golden leaves, some falling onto the ground. Wind making them spin. That's autumn for me.

Oh, I am has Halloween themed jewelry as well now too. I like Halloween as much as I like autumn and christmas

Oh and I'm going to pick up the october issue of the sweet magazine now. It was such a long story to get it. I can't tell how pissed I am! But I will ramble about this later haha

Autumn parka and booties



Some new items for autumn. Parka from H&M. It's quite popular I guess... saw already a lot of people with it haha You can remove the hood. I love parkas... so easy to wear and suits nearly everything.



I love this kind of shoe sole. My summer shoes has this kind of sole too. I love these pair of brown booties.


My little flower printed skirt from Mango.



I wanted to see Affenberg Salem for my birthday. But it rained...   So we want to go tomorrow instead. I hope the weather is better then ! I so so want to breath the fresh air and see some animals. I just like that !

ettusais BB mineral white

Recent favourite BB cream: ettusais BB mineral white. It's quite new... from their autum/winter collection.


I chose the colour in 10 Bright. I used the Missha BB cream, Skin79 hot pink BB cream and Missha Watery BB Cream prior.

Now this is my first japanese BB cream.


The ettusais mineral white comes with 8 skin protection properties

brightening effect
uv protection
beauty essence
make up base
concealer
hides visible pores
Non-comedogenic
foundation





Older version is called ettusais BB mineral. New version focus on whitening effects. That's why I mainly chose this BB cream because of its brightening effect.


It's only 40g. But I enjoy the cute and clean packaging. 






Here is a swatch of the ettusais BB mineral white in #10 Bright. It's lightweight, medium to light coverage and SPF 45 PA++ ! Also the whitening benefits are a big plus. 



It covers pores and blemishes quite good. I love that it feels so naturally ! My skin is more bright and smooth looking. Exactly what I wanted ! It does not let me breaking out. I have a very oily T-Zone. After a few hours I have to use a blotting paper or powder. But the result is still good. It's so different from the Missha BB cream. The Missha BB cream felt heavy, oily and unnatural on my skin in comparison. As if I had a mask. But the ettusais BB mineral white blends so easily and let my skin glow.

I'm so happy with this BB cream

Japan. Endless Discovery x zozotown.com: JAPAN HOT BRAND FILE 03

Recently I received the JAPAN HOT BRAND FILE 03 .


It's all about the japanese boutique l'atelier du savon. Their cloths have unique designs such as kitty, rabbit, lips and mustache. I also love that they use mixed fabrics. I really like this style.

Also this info file is in english which is super nice. It contains some info about the new Tokyo Sky Treetown too. Absolut lovely ! 

And a big plus is that you can win a complete outfit from them by voting your favourite coordinate. Zozotown ships internationally. Their shipping fee is really high though. Maybe some German bloggers want to order together?

Here are some items from l'atelier du savon that I love:
