Good October







This saturday was my sister's graduation.
Bachelor in medicine! But 3 more years to go hah..
My parents couldn't go so my younger sister and I decided to go. 
The weather was incredibly nice.
I'm wearing a white sleeveless blouse (H&M) underneath my (Zara) knit-sweater. 
The bag and jacket are from Forever 21. 
The shoes are from an underground shop in Gangnam, Seoul. 





After the ceremony, we went to Zurich to have Sushi

Winter, is it you or is it me?



I don't know. What's wrong with me. 

Since I was young, I've always been excited to go to Korea.
Twice a year, summer and winter.
I loved being in the busy city, 
meeting friends, 
going out, 
VIP areas in the clubs, 
seeing and meeting celebrities,
drinking,
and having fun.

Now I ask myself:
Why do I enjoy such unimportant things in life?

As usual for December, I've booked a plane ticket to Seoul again.
But why does it feel so wrong this time :-/
This time, I more have the feeling of wasting my time over there.
A compulsion inside me telling me I belong where my duties are.
And it's clearly NOT Korea.
I've probably got as many friends there as here.
Although I really have trust issues when it comes to Korean people
and don't really know whom to trust.
It's just so terrifying experiencing a total different mentality of some of my Korean friends.
It makes me sad to know that so many Korean people live a life calculating useless things,
movements of each other.
Somehow, I strongly believe that certain mentalities are so totally wrong and I don't want to
be surrounded by the negative energy. 
And I'm noticing it more and more.
I want to focus on meeting people that have a positive impact on me.
People who are NOT superficial, don't care about brands, money, looks.
It's fraught having to distrust people and not knowing whom to trust.
Maybe it's just better to live a quite life and focusing on myself.
Maybe this is just a phase? A winter phase maybe.



Today was a day in black and white


Happy monday..
I woke up and felt like sleeping for 3 more month.
Do you know the mornings when you are so extremely tired in the morning
that you already think of the weekend and mumble to yourself that
you're definitely not going out this weekend and just rest at home.
You don't feel like doing anything.
Not even things you like.
Then you get annoyed by the smallest things.
It's probably the fall/winter that makes us all gloomy and grumpy.

Moodboard



It's getting colder, winter is on the way. 
Still, I want to enjoy the last few weeks of not having to wear
100 layers of stockings and cardigans to keep myself warm.
I like simple design. 
Simple colors with every now and then something unbalanced and outstanding. 
Rather than standing out myself, i like to point out specific items or colors of my outfit.

Findings on my camera


I really thought my mac doesn't recognize my SD card and I have to buy an usb SD card reader.
Then I found out that after the update, the SD card is only visible on iPhoto instead of in the finder.
Haha so stupid of me and my mac.
Anyway, I totally forgot that I had taken pictures with my Nikon while I was in Seoul.

Yves Saint Laurent - Touche éclat Radiant Touch


I've been reading thousands of makeup blogs lately what kind of made me start this blog. My skin - hideous. Probably because it's fall and soon winter already. Although I'm aware of that I have to take care of my skin more often, I don't do it. Besides, I don't think I use the products that fit me. That is probably the reason why my skin isn't healthy and looks caky.

I was sitting in my webdesign class and looked through trillion blogs out of boredom. I found a product called Yves Saint Laurent Touche éclat Radiant Touch that was recommended by many bloggers. After pinning it on my Pinterest wall I went to a buy it as soon as the lecture was over.





As I told you, my face always gets caky and i blame it on my concealer. I heard the touche éclat makes your tired eyes look much brighter. Something I was looking for!

First, I didn't really know how to use it. I put it on my nose, under the eyes. No, it looked kind of more caky, oily and just wrong. Today, I watched some tutorials and without using any makeup in advance, I put it under my eyes. Yes, it really brightens up my eyes!

It also came with an eye lifting serum.




Good:
  • Not too liquid
  • Good for using in your daily life, especially when you're tired
  • Easy to apply
Meh..:
  • You can't use it instead of a concealer. Use the concealer beforehand
  • It was kinda hard to find my tone
  • It get a little dry after a while
  • It is not really worth the price in my opinion
