IFA WITH BABYLISS: MY FIRST TIME AT IFA

My BabyLiss Bürste zu kaufen

What does a fashion blogger do at a electronic trade show? It's not that farfetched. After all I am a consumer and I consume goods. So I was here to check out the latest consumer goods that are of interest to me.
The reason I visited IFA in the first place was because BabyLiss invited me to come check out their newest products and for some hair styling. Since I'm having extension (however I still use the BabyLiss curling iron that I got at the Berlin Blogger Meet Up to curl my extensions every now and then. And it has worked well til now without burning my face of xD ) I asked Louisa my best friend to test the products for you.

UGG AUSTRALIA 35TH ANNIVERSARY

UGG Australia turned 35 in the last couple days and invited a few bloggers to come celebrate and showcase their latest collections. Now you know I kinda was a hater regarding UGGs at first. A year later I bought myself a pair of fake UGGs for 5€ at H&M and thought I found the most comfortable but really whack ass quality (didn't even last one winter!) pair of shoes on earth. I had no idea what true comfort really felt like until I got to open and try on my present from UGG Australia.

Hey Guys,

I was busy all Saturday working at the auditions of Face of Africa Germany. And we're currently shooting season 1. Can't wait to see the first episode. I'm kinda like Bryanboy at America's Next Topmodel for Face of Africa Germany, my brother says. I'm doing the social media for them: taking care of their Twitter, Facebook page and doing all their Instagram shots. It was really fun though yesterday and we had so many gorgeous girls from all over Germany at our auditions. The team is amazing! Everyone's really into it and helping the project grow and Ernest's vision is slowly steadily coming together and becoming a reality. It's a really open team with interesting backgrounds and a great environment to work in.
Can you believe it, at 19 this is actually my very first job?

Speaking of first times. I finally visited Tube for the very first time. It's one of Berlin's best Hip Hop clubs. And Miles (my partner in crime from Face of Africa Germany) made sure to make it memorable first time. Haha! Loved last night! <3

Did you have any "first time"s this week? :D What was your weekend like?

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!
