MY BEAUTY PROBLEMS

huge eyes
hell no! I was kidding.
my eyes are a gift of God! I get compliments for them on the regular.
but daaaammmnn I do have huge eyes..


I. eyebrows
THE most hated part of my body.
Need not say more.
When God created my eyebrows he must have gotten bored from all them pretty ass swag bitch eyebrows out there and decided to grant me with none at all for no apparant reason ?! I can count the hairs of my none exisiting eyebrows.
Why me??? I ask myself..


II. dry lips
I'm cursed with this issue! I don't know if I was born to be the walking example of all day every day dry-lips-omnia. (dry-lips-omnia Defininition: The art of having dry lips.. pretty much 24h a day?!) It's like a real condition. And it sucks balls. Come winter, come worse lips.. yay! NOT.


III. black spots - post inflammatory hyper pigmentation
I'm a little scared to do something against this issue though. There are a lot of creams out there claiming to help against black spots.
With my common sense there are only two ways I can think of how creams tackle this issue.
1. cover up. Simply a cream that covers up the black spots well enough. Yeah that's not really getting rid of the actual problem in the long run...

2. fade the spot. 
Does this mess with my melanin level or what? I'm scared I'll end up with light spots and in the end all that's changed are black spots to light spots in my face. I think I'll pass...

Plus this issue it's not that bad really, for me. You just see them with extremely extrem close up. You'd be creepin to find them. Also I've noticed they fade by themselves over time. A very very long time though..
And after all for pictures I've got photoshop right? :P (No, I actually don't. True Fact :) )

EDIT: I DONT KNOW WHAT IS HAPPING BUT I'M HAVING A REAL BLACK SPOT PROBLEM LATELY AND THIS SHIT NEEDS MONTHS TO YEARS TO FADE!!! Stupid summer sun has turned the pimples that didn't heal of well because lets just say I scratched or squeezed them, which of course you are not ever supposed to do, into black spots. Curse unto the broken ozon layer and the increased amount of ultraviolet sun rays. Black spots have just moved up to Level 2 of my beauty problems. I will be working on it!


IV. the occasional break out
I get pimples once in a while. I thank God that he gifted me with an alright looking skin. I usually get a few pimples I can count on my one hand post or prior to my period most likely due to the change in hormone level.

In the next few weeks, years, minutes.. coming time I will try and tackle these issues by finding a beauty routine optimized for my personal problems.

Yallah! Let's go on a ride, my beauty ride!

IFA WITH MONSTER: MY LOOK

BENEFIT OPENING: BERLIN'S VERY FIRST BENEFIT BOUTIQUE

The San Francisco magic has landed. That's right Benefit BOUTIQUE not counter. It's the second boutique in the whole of Germany and were are lucky to finally have one in Berlin. With a new boutique come new offers. Besides the benefits of the eyebrow bar, testing and/or buying Benefit products, a quick fresh up or professional application of false lashes before you head out to a party, you can now go for a spray tan in light, light to medium or dark, fully body waxing (Brazilian included!) and facial waxing.

IFA WITH MONSTER: THE PRESENTATION, PARTY AND MEETING XZIBIT & SWIZZ BEATZ

I returned to the IFA site one more time after all my official appointments (on the blog soon!) and I took Nima, my partner in crime, with me. We were back for Monter's Keynote speech, Xzibit, Swizz Beatz and a aftershow party with the Monster team and guests hosted by Xzibit himself. I really enjoyed the presentation by Noel Lee, founder of Monster, who was cool enough to show up on his roller that has golden wheels. He actually stayed on that roller for the entire day. How awesome? Anyway Susanne did not make empty promises when she told me that Monster had something special and interesting prepared for their Keynote speech which was the perfect mix of performance, arts & fashion and an informative insight into the headphones industry and the world of Monster.
You see fashion & technology are closer linked than you may think. Especially when it comes to headphones.

DOUBLE DENIM AND A BEANIE

If you ask my friends to play the association game and my name came up, especially during winter, pretty much all of them would say: neon pink beanie.
Ah my beloved neon pink beanie. It actually became my trade mark. You couldn't see me in the dark, but when you saw a 1-50 midget (I'm taller than 150!) with a neon beanie at far you could be 100% sure it was me. Adidas Neo sent me this cute beanie that can be worn inside and out. Good thing I have more beanies to choose from for this fall/winter. They're having a "How do you rock your beanie?" Competition on Twitter at the moment for you guys. You are supposed to show your own style either via twitter or using the social mirror in store. The most creative picture wins.
Be sure to enter for a chance to win a 100€ NEO voucher before September 18th. It's your last minute chance :)

SKYY SWAP MARKET 2013

Last week Friday was my favourite (well, one of my very favourite) parties of the year: the Skyy Swapping Market! Together with Louisa my best friend I enjoyed an amazing night swapping, drinking, swapping, dancing. Well honestly I was there for the drinks, as usual, and donate whatever I couldn't drink. But Louisa did find a cute little jumpsuit which was so me so I had to swap for it. And she seems to be the Queen of Swap, because she just found so many nice pieces to take home. It was a great party just like I expected. And Bonnie Strange played the sickest Hip Hop beats so it was doomed to be a great party. Frank and Designer Scouts keep doing a great job, and I'll keep going to their parties.
