New: Burberry Beauty

Yes, you read that right! Burberry, known for quality clothes, accessories and fragrances and their iconic check pattern, are launching their very first, very extensive makeup range today, namely Burberry Beauty.

For their launch campaign, Burberry got the iconic British photographer Mario Testino to photograph the beautiful British models Cara Delevingne, Jourdan Dunn and Edie Campbell with their effortless elegance, relaxed attitude and energy to represent the Burberry girl.


As mentioned, the range is extensive and includes foundations, powders, concealers, highlighters, blushers, bronzers, eye shadows, eye liners, mascara, lipsticks, lip glosses and pencils as well as a couple of tools:

What do you think of the look of these products and the campaign? I really like the look! I’ve not been a great fan of the unfortunately chavilicious-looking clothes and stuff, but I have been in love with their fragrances – in fact I have Burberry Brit and Burberry Weekend (well I’ve given that to Lodz so he can spray his pillow and smell me when I’m not there!)

I’m REALLY REALLY impressed by how extensive the range is – I mean, do the maths – there is LITERALLY 150 items in this range! That is such an insanely high investment, but so impressive. Really shows how much Burberry believes in this new venture, so I can’t wait to get my hands on one of these babies to try them! Let’s hope there’s something for oily skin and oily lids, eh? ;-)

What do you guys think of Burberry’s new venture Burberry Beauty? Do you think this could become a proper success and contender and competition for other high-end cosmetics brands and ranges of the likes of Dior, Chanel and Armani maybe?

Orly Jealous, Much?

This beautiful and rare summer heat wave in the UK practically demands for bright and summery colours, so I decided to go for this gorgeous non-shimmery minty green Jealous, Much? polish from Orly's Cool Romance summer collection.

It applies really beautifully, 2 coats and BOOM full opaqueness (or is it opacity?)! It's definitely one of these perfect nail polishes that are worth picking up! I think this little fella only retails at £5 at Boots, if I'm not wrong?! Please correct me if I am!!

Paired with a bright pink neon top or mint green jeans this would make for a brilliant accessory-type colour for sure!

What are your must-have colours for this beautiful British Summer?

OOTD: Floral Prints

Loobook // Chictopia // Chicisimo

WIWT / ASOS Fashion Finder / LOOK What I'm Wearing / Trendtation

Floral Playsuit: Primark
Pastel Floral Shirt: H&M
Necklace: Primark
Earrings: Topshop
Golden Belt: New Look

This outfit is from one of the days I went to Manchester Fashion Week! I completely forgot that I had the pictures and when I got ready to collage them I had to realise that I stupidly had resized them along with all the other pictures I took that day, so that's why the quality of these pictures ain't that great. I apologise. Also, there was only really one good picture where I didn't look like I was disgusted by what I saw (you know when you have the sun hit your face and your face goes squint? THAT apparently makes me look like I'm disgusted by something! Great!)

Anyways, the lovely Reena, who I hung out with at Manchester Fashion Week was kind enough to take these pictures of me! So, thanks Reena!!

So yeah, the playsuit is from Primark - I had just gotten it then and I've only worn it for a 2nd time since this day, because I, like probably everyone who owns a button-up playsuit, had to realise how incredibly impractical playsuits can be when you need the toilet and how you practically have to strip down to your underwear... But I still love this piece - it's sooo lovely floral and pink! I love it! I just wish it had some sort of zip on the side so you don't have to button it up, or instead of buttons it'd have a zip or something. More practical!!

But then again, when does fashion ever attempt to be pretty AND practical, right?! ;-)

OOTD: Mother’s Day

I bet the title is sending you into a wee little panic, but don’t! It’s NOT Mother’s Day in the UK today, so take a deep breath! However, it IS Mother’s Day in Germany today (I know, right? Why the hell are they celebrating it now rather than in March like normal people, eh?). Being German and even more so having a German mummy, I kinda need to go with that date, rather than the one we know.

But since I’m in the middle of my final round of final year exams (Hurrah!! Almost done with uni! Eeeek!), which also explains the lack of blogging hopefully, I haven’t really had a chance to find any gifts for her, let alone send them to her, so I thought I do a little blog instead – but not photos of me, but her!

Isn’t she beautiful? I can only be so lucky to look so fit at her age!

Now take a guess at how old my stunning mummy is – let me know in the comments and I’ll let you know how wrong you are :p EVERYONE GUESSES HER AGE WRONG muahahahaha.

Happy Mummy’s Day, mummy!!
