That’s one of the things I love about makeup – you can change your whole attitude by just doing your eyeliner or lipstick differently.

Snow Queen
Mrs. Holle gradually packs up her blankets of snow and bids us farewell, but we don’t let that put us off – on the contrary: instead of the usual black eyeliner, the snow queen among the eyeliners dominates our eyes. With white paint, we put our pretty peepers in the limelight and strut through the streets with an icy gaze – which, by the way, should be the only cold weather in the warm springtime!
Shots
If you don’t understand beauty ampoules, we’ll be happy to give you a quick rundown: with just 2 ml, they provide our skin with enough active ingredients to make it glow like the sun in a matter of seconds. Babor offers ten different 7-day ampoule treatments that have been tailored to personal skin needs and impress with 97 percent natural ingredients. In other words, these are the after-work shots for our skin that work even faster than our beloved tequila. babor.com
All-rounder
Dries Van Noten not only has a lot going for it when it comes to fashion: the Belgian fashion house is now also launching its own beauty line. Instead of disposable goods, Dries Van Noten relies on handmade, refillable flacons and lipstick cases. And there’s a lot in store for us: 30 lipsticks, ten fragrances and various accessories, printed with malachite and snake print, in neon yellow and animalia – definitely unusual enough to end up on our make-up dresser as a future collector’s item. driesvannoten.com
Virtual Reality
Anyone who prefers to spend their free time in front of the games console will be particularly pleased with this collection: OPI has teamed up with Xbox to bring the world of virtual gaming into everyday life with twelve nail polish colors. Whether with a magical, reflective pixel dust or gel effect, the paints are also ideal for brushing on during breaks before energetically picking up the controller again. OPI x Xbox, in the three lines Infinite Shine, classic nail polish and GelColor, from approx. 20, opi.com
Come in!
Drunk Elephant has been available exclusively at Sephora in Switzerland since March, and we are delighted: the skincare brand is biocompatible and contains no drying alcohols, sulphates or silicones. Our skin is immediately happy and welcomes the gentle care with a dance of joy. What’s more, with their pretty appearance, the products also win the hearts of all packaging victims – including us. drunkelephant.com
Formula 1
We’ve lost count of how many different mascaras we’ve tried. One transforms our eyelashes into scary spider legs, while the other leaves them hanging like wet washcloths. We can breathe a sigh of relief because we’ve found something that we won’t be letting go of any time soon: The “Stack Mascara” from Mac is creamy, does not clump and gives your lashes plenty of volume. In addition, the formula can be built up as desired and can conjure up both a natural everyday look and dramatic party make-up. Mac, “Stack Mascara”, 12 ml, approx. 42.-

Not just incredibly practical for keeping nasty baby hair at bay: Headbands take us back to our childhood, when they were the order of the day in all kinds of colors and with kitschy decorations. They always chafed unpleasantly behind the ears after a while, but even today we still grit our teeth for the Blair Waldorf look.

Pick-me-up
When we hit the snooze button in the morning and tumble out of bed with deep dark circles under our eyes, our skin is usually not really playing along either, but is still slumbering on the bench. Good thing we can shake them awake with the “Roller Resculptant Eclair” from Clarins: It stimulates the skin to eliminate harmful energy, refines the facial features and gives it new radiance despite the early morning hours – transforming our complexion from bench warmer to midfielder in no time at all. Clarins, “Roller Resculptant Eclair”, ca. 55.-
