Shoe Love

Hello everyone,
lately I bought some shoes - again. I am totally addicted to shoes, which many of you might understand :D

But the shoes I bought are not only shoes - they are magic :D
I bought the Nike Air Max 1 Hyperfuse Premium and I don't regret that!
Actually I was a little bit cautious because they were quite expensive but I have been wanting these shoes for such a long time and I had looked everywhere in the internet to find some nice looking Air Max but didn't find some that really seemed to be worth the money. But then I was on a shopping tour with my boyfriend (actually we were looking for a present for a friend of us... :D) and I spotted a really cool and really small store where they sold all kind of stuff like Vans, Nike, skateboards et cetera. And there they were - the perfect shoes for me. My boyfriend (it hurts me to say :D) hated them but I couldn't leave the store without them. And I was sooo happy when I held them in my hands and I still am! 

So I know that a lot of people don't like shoes like that (just like my boyfriend does :'( ) but I don't care. I LOVE them! And actually my boyfriend finally became accustomed to them :D
It really is like walking on air to wear them! But well, hot weather is not a good combination with these shoes - if you know what I mean :D :D
So, what do you think? Love or loathe?

Summer's finally here - Protect & Bronze!

Wuhu,
finally summer has arrived! After a long time of freezing and cloudy days the sun has finally found its place!
And I am very very happy about that! Cold and rainy weather always makes me feel sad and unpowered.
But now it's over and because of that  I decided to sit in the garden all day to finally get my legs bronzed.
As you know - I am a very very very (...) pale person! And so my legs are also very pale and after winter they always look like two sticks of chalk :D
But because they are so white I always get a sunburn very quickly - my skin becomes red like a lobster and after a lot of pain the sunburn goes away and my skin is as pale as before :D
So I always have to use a whole lot of suncream, but as you know, if you have to use a whole lot of suncream you don't get bronzed! So I decided to try something new:
It's the Nivea Sun Protect & Bronze suncream, sun protection factor 30 (just right for me! :D)
It was quite expensive I think (about 10€) but  it was absolutely worth it!

I was in our garden all day and I did not get a sunburn! And not only that but also my legs got bronzed! Not very much actually (I think my skin is not able to - maybe missing melanin :D) but for me it was absolutely okay :D The product says that " it contains a natural plant extract which helps support skin's own melanin production for an even and natural looking tan", so the little bit of melanin I own was definetly supported! :D
I highly recommend that - for people with more or less melanin :D
So now I am able to chill outside all day without becoming a lobster! :)

And I absolutely will because I love, love, love to be outside when it's hot weather!
Especially in my new shoes <3 These are the "Butterflies Authentic Slim" Vans, and although I am actually a Converse-person I absolutely love them! They are just so summery!

Oh, and by the way - I passed my final exams! Wuhu :) So now it's time to apply for university!
Let's see what the future brings! But for now it brings a lot of sun! :)

The perfect make-up for pale skin

I am a person with very pale skin actually.
Even in summer I never become bronzed. 

So it is very hard for me to find a matching make-up. 

I always had quite too dark make-up shades which looked quite silly.
But one day I decided to go into a drugstore and have a counselling- interview.
And it really helped!

I finally bought a refining foundation by Shiseido, a japanese concern.
Actually it is quite funny that I had to buy a japanese make-up because of my skin-tone which obviously is not normal for europeans :D

It is a liquid foundation which  covers all sorts of red spots, conspicuous pores and even acne scars and it really stays all day long without making the skin dry. 

The price is a little bit high (about 35€ I think) but the 30ml suffice for a really long time (I do have mine for almost a year now!) because one does not have to take very much of it to have a perfect-looking skin.

So for everybody else who also is white as a ghost I totally advise that foundation!

I always take tone 100 - very light ivory

Hope I could help you, what are your devices for pale skin?
