Beauty this and that

travel makeup products
These products did accompany me on my travels.

John Mayer wrote a song about a Lush bath bomb. ROFL! (Allure)

How children and teens (but really everyone) are affected by the mindless consumerism YouTube beauty vloggers promote. (The New Statesman)

How a new US law might change Sephora returns. That might be a good thing? Because, as the article states, goods with a value of $260 billions (!!!!) are returned each year in the US. Imagine the waste. (The Sunday Girl)

The Body Shop’s recent petition to end animal testing has yielded a staggering 4.1 million signatures, the highest ever. At 8 million, they can take it to the UN for an international convention. (British Beauty Blogger)

Also, in California, a Democratic senator proposed a law to ban all animal-tested cosmetics. (Allure)

L’Oreal’s brand Skinceuticals has come up with a personalized skincare range. (PR Newswire)

Glossier is my personal BEC, but this instagram account proves that it’s actually for all skintones, which is nice. (Allure)

And don’t you think Japanese beauty is the new K-Beauty, guys! (Most Japanese beauty brands have a totally different approach to skincare and makeup than Korean ones.) (Fashionista)

 

Life, love and everything else

Inflight beauty products
A peak into my inflight beauty routine (blogpost here).

I know the Oscars were aaaaaaaages ago, but it still warms my heart that a lot of older actresses were recognised. Which is a new thing. (Allure)

The history of the cool girl by Anne Helen Petersen made me like Jennifer Lawrence a lot less. Go read it, it’s very good and cites my favourite Gone Girl quote. (Buzzfeed)

Because I will never not link to every how to pack your bags article I come across, this is from various flight attendants, because they really must know how to do it. (Condé Nast Traveller)

Do you like romance novels? Are you slightly ashamed to be caught reading one? Don’t be! You might actually do something truly revolutionary. (Buzzfeed)

 

On the blog

March beauty recap
Travelling! Newzealand, you’re beautiful.

Phew, what a month! Astrid and I both were travelling for most of the time, and are really proud how smooth the blog and our IG were running meanwhile. We couldn’t have done it without some amazing guest bloggers who wrote posts here! Thank you Yiota (who wrote about Survivor and skincare here) and Britta (who wrote about Viseart eyeshadows here).

We also started our bridal beauty series, in which we talk to various MUAs to find out how bridal makeup looks in different countries here. I wrote about my inflight beauty essentials here, and Astrid went to Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 5 that is heaven for beauty junkies. Thank you for reading!
