I know how much everyone loves “favorites posts” – I actually love them too, so I decided to do a special version of them. Today I’ll talk about my 15 favorites in 2015, coming from beauty, fashion and totally random – things that accompanied me through the year, things with a story and things that were and still are just great…
Okay, so step by step I want to bring back the beauty topics – they’re still very important to me, but somehow I just haven’t wanted to write so much about them for a long time. One reason probably was the feedback (even before the comments were disabled) – I spent a lot of time writing my reviews and nothing came back (I wasn’t sure if you really liked the posts or if you were interested in them at all). Also, of course it’s nice to get all those free PR samples and try new things constantly (and I’m absolutely thankful for these possibilities!), but that’s all – the work (and believe me – you can ask any good beauty blogger – it’s not only about receiving something for free, trying it once and writing how cool the product is!) is never paid. Don’t get me wrong, my blog is something I do with pleasure and I love it, it’s my passion, but it is also a business for me, so: doing it all for free is not an option, as I really try to do it for a living. This, by the way, is one of the reasons why I only write about things that I really love and can clearly recommend to you (even though there’s always a chance that someone doesn’t like the products as much as I do!). I don’t want to spend my time writing about how bad something is, that’s why I pick out my favorites, things that really satisfy my beauty needs and that convince me of their quality.
But I heard you: almost everybody wants the beauty section back and I don’t want to let you wait for it forever. So here is a first try of a comeback: my five favorite foundations (at the moment, but they have been for quite some time!) – plus: a newcomer and my all-time favorite, which I actually shouldn’t show as the color isn’t available anymore (but that doesn’t mean that the foundation isn’t great for you in your own color!). This is not supposed to be a review, so don’t expect detailed information on these products but my opinion (which might be a little affected by my love for them!) about them. ;)

Getting my hands on this jumpsuit wasn’t very easy – it seems like everybody wanted it when it came out, so it was always sold out when I went online for shopping (my size is only available online!). It took some time, but now it’s here and I’ve got a first outfit with it for you. :)
This is one of the comfiest jumpsuits ever – its light fabric and the loose cut make it a pure pleasure to wear; plus, the colors and the print are just beautiful. For my first outfit, I went for a casual hippie look – of course with platforms and a huge hat. :)
Also, this is one of my first looks with the gray hair – unfortunately, after my first hair wash, the gray color washed out a little and with every time a little bit more, so I quickly went blonde (and after another visit to my hairdresser, I’m finally platinum blonde now – just as he wanted to see me from the beginning ;)). I’m actually a little sad about it, but blonde is great too and I really enjoy my light hair color. It’s something different and from time to time, a change is the best thing you can do, right? ;)
Diesen Jumpsuit in die Finger zu kriegen, war wirklich nicht leicht – irgendwie wollte wohl jeder das Ding haben, als er rauskam, und so war er jedes Mal ausverkauft, als ich onlineshoppen wollte (46 ist leider nur online erhältlich!). Es hat ein Weilchen gedauert, aber jetzt ist er hier bei mir und ich hab’ ein erstes Outfit damit für euch. :)
Das ist einer der bequemsten Jumpsuits ever – der leichte Stoff und der lockere Schnitt sind die pure Freude beim Tragen und nebenbei sind die Farben und der Print wirklich wunderschön. Für mein erstes Outfit damit hab’ ich einen einfachen Hippie-Look ausprobiert – natürlich mit Plateausandalen und einem riesigen Hut. :)
Außerdem ist das einer der ersten Looks mit den grauen Haaren – leider ist die Farbe bereits nach dem ersten Mal Waschen schon ein bisschen ausgewaschen und jedes weitere Mal noch ein bisschen mehr, also bin ich ziemlich schnell blond geworden (und nach einem weiteren Besuch bei meinem Friseur bin ich nun endlich platinblond, genau so wie er mich von Anfang an haben wollte ;)). Ein bisschen bin ich ja schon traurig darüber, aber blond ist auch ziemlich gut und ich mag die helle Haarfarbe wirklich sehr. Es ist eben was ganz anderes und ab und zu ist so eine Veränderung das Beste, was man machen kann, oder? ;)
