@doctoranne_ posted to Instagram: (unpaid advertisement bc brand linked/PR/gifted) There are seven different @pixibeauty Tonics - Glow, Clarity, Milky, Rose, Vitamin C, Retinol and Collagen. But while it is great to have options, the sheer amount can get confusing. Worry not, I have tried them all (except for the Collagen one, somehow that passed me by), and I have a handy guide live on my blog for you to pick the best one for your skin type! Have you by any chance tried the Collagen one and co
@doctoranne_ posted to Instagram: I was around already when scrunchies were on trend for the first time, and I vowed to never wear them again. Yet here I am, owning quite a collection of them and reaching for them whenever I need to get my hair out of my face (which happens much more often in summer than in winter - sweaty necks are not fun!). What changed? I don't know - maybe it is the fact that I have seen them so often I have grown used to them, maybe it is the fact that now I own exclusivel
@doctoranne_ posted to Instagram: (unpaid advertisement bc brand linked/PR/gifted) If you expect the @goodmolecules Rosewater Daily Cleansing Gel to be either pink or smell like roses, you will be disappointed. Despite rosewater being prominent in the name, you won´t get any rose in color or scent. But why would we want rosewater in our skincare anyway? I talk about that (and the rest of the product) in depth on the blog and YouTube, should you be curious, but for now I want to know: Have you e
@doctoranne_ posted to Instagram: (unpaid advertisement bc brand linked/PR/gifted) Todays #texturetuesday is the @pixibeauty Clarity Serum, promising clear skin. I need more time for a full review, but after a whole week of using it daily there is zero irritation on my skin, which probably means two things: It is very gentle and has probably less than 2% Salicylic Acid. Just an assumption though, the actual acid percentage is not shared. Have you tried it?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@doctoranne_ posted to Instagram: (unpaid advertisement bc brand linked/PR/gifted) As I don´t seem to get around doing the "New In" videos on YouTube anymore (so much to film, so little time!), I figured I´d share some newness on here. Many of you asked about my thoughts on the new @pixibeauty Clarity line, and I promise I am already thoroughly testing, but given that I do not want to risk overexfoliation, I will need some time before I can give you a full review. It is of course aimed at conges
@doctoranne_ posted to Instagram: (unpaid advertisement bc brand linked/*PR-Samples/gifted items) That one is simple, the lush #texturetuesday shot of a cleansing balm (It is the Clean Break one by Avon Distillery). It is in no shape or form related to any current blog posts or videos I have up, it just reflects how tired I am and how desperately I want to go home, take off the day and sleep. Week three after the holiday and with increasing numbers of Covid-19 here in germany and people return
#DoTheWork: Day Six ⁣ So many great resources have been shared on this topic recently, so no matter if you want to watch, read or listen to podcasts, you should have a long list to go through now. I sure have, and will continue to work through it this weekend.
#DoTheWork: Day Five ⁣ I proudly call myself a feminist and I am mother to two beautiful children. I once read that having children is like ripping your heart out of your chest and having it run around outside, and it is true, it feels that way. But at least my children are the safest they can be and well protected. Black women are more likely to die in pregnancy and labour, and they are, as stated in the quote, much more likely to see their children die from violence.⁣ I will no longer turn a b
(unpaid advertisement bc brand linked/PR/gifted) Close up for #texturetuesday - it belongs to an eye cream I reviewed a few weeks ago on the blog and YouTube (swipe left for the product shot). It leaves my undereye area smooth and hydrated and contains a few ingredients like peptides and plant extracts for prevention of premature aging. You probably have seen it a lot on my stories when I share my morning routines, it is still going strong after three months of using it, so you get your moneys
(unpaid advertisement bc brand linked)⁣ My sudden interest in hair care might hugely be linked to the fact that I haven´t been to the hair dresser since last September, but whatever the reason: I could not resist picking up a few bits from The Inkey Lists newest release. And while I was at it I got some skincare as well, that never hurt anyone, right?⁣ If you are curious what I got, I am sharing it on my stories right now.⁣ And maybe I will film a little haul for YouTube, would you be interested
#DoTheWork: Day Four⁣ Like many others I grew up with a very clear idea of what racism was and that I, of course, was NOT a racist. It is painful to face the fact that it is more complicated than that, and that in testing I show a moderate preference for white over black faces. ⁣ My childrens toys don´t offer diversity and that never seemed important to me, but I urge you, as a parent, to watch the video in which kids attribute things like good and bad, pretty and ugly to dolls of different skin
@doctoranne_ posted to Instagram: (unpaid advertisement bc brand linked/PR/gifted) Now I no longer have to reach for them very often, but around once a month I need to bring out the big guns against hormonal spots. Salicylic Acid is what I first reach for when I feel one coming, but if that doesn´t help. the pixi Zero Zit comes to the rescue. Other than your average lotions it uses Sulfur and Sea Salt, which are drying, but very effective in shrinking the size of the offender over night. There i
#DoTheWork: Day Three by ⁣ Yes, I know I am slow, and yes, I know there are people dying while they wait for me, I have seen the post. I don´t however want to rush things, and Day Three is about: Never Forget or digesting the history of Black Americans.⁣ Yes, I have read "To kill a mocking bird" and "Go et a watchmen" (loved the first, wasn´t too impressed by the second although it somehow felt more recent), but there is so much more to watch, read and listen to.
(unpaid advertisement bc brand linked) Amazing packaging, a lovely moisturizer Formula and Peptides, all at a Budget Price Point - I talked more in Depth About The Inkey List Peptide Moisturizer on YouTube and the blog, but in short: It contains Glycerin, Shea Butter and Betaine for hydrating and emollient properties as well as some preservatives and Vitamin E as antioxidant. The peptides used are Acetyl-Hexapeptide-37, which claims to have hydrating properties by enhancing the development of s
This is a skincare and beauty account, and that is where my main passion lies. I don´t however just want to go back to normal on here, because this is far too important to just be a one time social media thing.⁣ So where do I go from here? ⁣ One part is my social media presence, both here and on YouTube as my main platforms. I will go back to my regular posts, both on the feed and on stories, but will also amplify the voices that contribute to the black lives matter movement, for ongoing support
