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:

Origins "Ginger Souffle Whipped body cream"

I love to use body creams instead of perfume.



My favourite one is the "Ginger Souffle Whipped body cream" by Origins.  
It's not only a cream it's pure joy haha!

Since I think the official website descriptes my thoughts on this cream very well I'll post it here:

When wageing battle with the elements, whether they're cold and dry or hot and humid, you can always seek shelter in this creamy cocoon. A relaxing sensation spreads all over you as tangy Ginger embraces your body while skin-nourishing Olive Oil, Grape Seed Oil, Rice Bran Oil and Apricot Kernel Oil invisibly surround weary, dreary skin in softness. All the while, the citrusy-crisp scent of lush, lighthearted Lemon, Lime and Bergamot helf lift listless spirits.
There's no more savoury way to shoo your malaise.




Ginger has amazing healing skills but its scent is quite special and not the usual floral, fruity or vanilla scent you would use as a body cream. Instead it's a scent that I didn't notice elsewhere. It's an amazing comfortable scent that last for hours

You will be surprised!

The cream is lightweight and suited for all skin types. It works great after bath or shower on clean and damp skin.


From Origins:

Did you know?
