Share the love

Hey peeps, that’s what I wanna do today!

Normally I do not really care for certain brands, it is not important to me, I wear whatever I like and use which ever make up or nail polish has pretty colors and good quality. I look for affordable brands rather then famous ones. Sometimes for good quality I do turn to stuff, that’s more expensive than department store, e.g., but if I do, I feel it’s totally worth it.

But it’s not only quality that keeps my loyalty at a certain place, in this case company. It is more than that. It’s their way of building customer relations and fostering their community. And let’s be serious: Who does not want to be part of a great community, eyspecially it is made up of gorgeous and inspiring ladies? I certainly do!

I discovered two brands I came to love for exactly that! I follow their instagram and their twitter and thei facebook, simply because I cannot get enough of them! What I like most about their social media pages: They share their customers experience and style. Are you curious which ones I talk about or do you already know?

One of them is Black Milk Clothing. I totally love their stuff as you probably already know frome here, here and here. I love how they connected their website to instagram and show all the awesome girls or rather ‘hot little bosses’ in the radest nylons! And they encourage every girl to share her pics on their facebook page while they feel responsible to take care of their community by banning mean, stupid or insulting comments. Every sharky is beautiful, no matter which size. And everything written I ever received from them, I loved, the texts are just so personal and sweet. Go order from them!

And of course I love Sugarpill Cosmetics. How could I not? The colors are so freakin’ colorful and pretty! Highly pigmented eye shadows and also glitter – what a girl wants! At least, what I want. Since I got my first Sugarpill makeup a little while ago I am so in love and keep on wearing really bright, fancy, crazy, kick ass makeup in the office :D the other girls there are really sweet, admiring my ‘skills’. And of course, I shared those looks on my instagram and twitter, I tagged Sugarpill’s instagram/twitter hoping they might like it and trying to spread the love. And they actually did! This got me soooooo excited!

I feel really proud and love them even more. I didn’t think I am as awesome as all the other girls they post showing gorgeous looks in vibrant colors. Yeah, I know they take professional photos and there’s some retouching going on, but the looks are crazy beautiful. I never thought my (rather crappy) cell phone pictures would be noticed. Ha. They didn’t post any of my looks on their pages yet, but they retweeted them and that’s so much motivation and simply makes me happy. So today I told them and got this answer which is even better than any RT:

Wow, I think my heart skipped a beat. This is so cool! And I wanted to share this moment with you guys, just to spread the love. But also to show you, that the little things count and you just have to believe in yourself! Did you create a cool makeup look? Tag the companies whose products you used. You came up with a cool style. Tag the companies! You might never know what will happen. :) Put yourself out there and feel the love!

My coworkers also told me to do tutorials on youtube… I am not sure about that yet. Would you watch those vids?

PS: I changed my twitter to match my instagram name :) come on, join me!

Makeup madness

Since I got my Sugarpill Cosmetics parcel, I am in love with wearing bold eye makeup. Here are some of the colorful styles, I have been wearing lately, using SugarPill eye shadows and LimeCrime.

You can find more makeup looks on my facebook page, I will post more there and on instagram. So come on and follow me for some inspiration. I draw my own inspiration from all kinds of wonderful people I follow on instagram!

This is so much fun! Do you like bold eye makeup? Which one is your favourite look?

All the new things

Hey dolls (and guys?!), here I am again.. there are a few things that have changed since my last ‘I have so much to do’-post, but it definitely is not less to do!

There are some new things one the blog:

1. I am back to my ‘old’ theme, I just love its simple stylishness. If you like it as well, it’s called Blaskan!

2. I got the WP Like button on here now, too. So like all the things!!! ;)

3. This post!

There’s also so much new stuff from work, more employees and new responsibilities and thousands of ideas and projects. Most days I spent 1-3 hours more in the office than I should. But I love my job!

I also got new make-up! From the amazing Sugarpill Cosmetics. My sister and I ordered together and just got the parcel. It took forever, mostly due to German customs. But we are sooooo happy now. We bought nearly all of the loose eyeshadow shades and shared them..

I know it kinda looks like we wanna sell drugs.. well, make up is kinda like drugs for my sister and me :D  And my sister gave me the sticker, oh how I love her! ♥

And since it’s Wednesday, here’s a new wisdom quote:

And for general fun watch my friends change their dog into some ghetto kiddo :D

New polishes and make-up tip

Hello peeps, today I want to share the newest Kandee Johnson video with you! She explains how to get a flawless face. And don’t we all want that?

I love how she offers both a high end and a drugstore version of all products. By the way, I am already addicted to L’Oréal’s Nude Magique BB Cream. That stuff is just magical. Most of the time I do not wear any foundation, I have fairly good skin and I like my freckles to show! But the BB Cream is just perfect, it makes my face look smoother and evens out redness. The BB cream is quite pricey for a drugstore product, but totally worth it!

I only add some concealer and I am ready to go (or put on the rest of my make-up). Anyhows, here’s the video now:

Awesome, amirite?

I got quite a few new polishes lately, here are two pics (see, it happened ;) )

P2 Sparkling Surprise & Hold me tight!

I especially love ‘Sparkling Surprise’, it changes color according to the light and looks eitehr gold or light pink metallic. You can somewhat see that in the picture (one with flash, one without).

Sending out a flawless smile to you and don’t forget to enter my GIVEAWAY!!! (You don’t need to do anything except for commenting :) )

Eye ♥ make up!

Here a some eye make up looks I wore during the last two months. Which one is your favourite?

What lies ahead..

A great post.. I was lucky enough to attend an awesome photo shoot with talented photographer Linda Pleis and her friend Julia (sorry, do not know the last name), also a photographer.

Linda is one of my co-workers and I set her up with my sister, Nina Neo Hair & Make-Up Artist. It was a lot of fun and there will be a making-of right here! But I need to take some time with a neat text and the pics. Until then, here’s a first glimpse:

Braid and bun – but different!

I had such a cool hair-do yesterday! Unfortunately, I only got to take a picture of it at the end of the day.. but at least I can show you! I’ll do that again for sure and take better pics of it! :D

 

 

In a little while I’ll attend the grand opening of my friend’s new store!!! This is going to be really exciting! His shop sells clothing, CDs, books and vegan food. It’s called “Black Ferry”:

If you’re interested in the shop, it is in Hamburg, Germany and they have a facebook page!

 

Lime Crime Make Up Contest

Hey everyone, for one thing, I am terribly sorry for not blogging lately. I have so many new things ahead of me. It’s all really exciting and time-consuming at the same time.

My business look paid off! I will start a new job in a little less than a week! This is so cool! I’ll tell you a little more later!

My flat mate moves out in about a month and I will live here alone then. All grown-up ;) I am really looking forward to my new chances at the interior design here!

Starting on Sunday I’ll be a “Big Sister” with Big Brothers Big Sisters Germany, which is also going to be so cool! Meeting up with “my” kid and doing fun stuff like inline skating!

So these are the major things (Salute to Major Things!) going on right now that get me all excited but leave me with no time left for painting my finger nails!

Well, to give you a pretty picture: My sister entered the Lime Crime (awesome make up & beautiful homepage) Mermaid Contest on Facebook. If you happened to like Lime Crime or like the picture, please also like it on Facebook to vote for it and my little sister who’s really talented!
