…would probably have spent days combing her hair. And just imagine washing your hair! Whether you have long or short hair, we all make the same mistake. Namely, to comb our hair only after washing it. The lengths and ends are most vulnerable when wet, and if you use a towel and brush like a DIY enthusiast with a workbench, you should not be surprised about split ends, dullness and broken hair. Better: Brush your hair from roots to ends before showering – this distributes the hair’s own oil – and only use a wide-toothed comb after washing.

There’s only one thing that rivals cats when it comes to hype: the unicorn. Cakes, slippers, rubber boats. All horned and with rainbow tails. And just when we thought we were through with this nonsense, Armani, Iceberg and co. elevate the mythical creature to the status of muse. However, we like the resulting eye make-up a lot better than the colorful Chinese garbage that fills the shelves of one-euro markets near the city. And pastel eyeshadow is definitely less embarrassing than unicorn onesies. Guerlain Météorites Compact Powder in “No. 02 Clair” approx. 80, Claire’s, “Chrome Ombre Makeup Brush Set”, approx. 15.-

The 18 says goodbye like a friend who has set off on a trip around the world? Becoming serious and sensible? Well, every now and then it does peek out, the little girl with the mischievous grin who prefers riding horses to driving cars and eating sweets without a thought for dental bills and insurance policies. We preserve a bit of our childhood and braid ourselves Pippi Longstocking braids like we saw Bora Aksu do on the catwalk. They don’t have to be accurate or silky smooth, but can give the impression that we’ve had real adventures with them.

Everyone is different, individual. So why should we all have the same products in the bathroom? One BB cream for everyone? Clinique has understood that every skin needs its own individual care and has therefore launched its new BB gel in five different versions. Enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation or wrinkles can be tackled directly and treated in a targeted manner, while the base gel moisturizes the skin. Encapsulated color pigments also even out the complexion and adapt to each individual skin tone. Clinique, “iD Dramatically Different Moisturizing BB-Gel”, 115 ml, approx. 75.-
