Collective Haul ladies & gents!

Alo dolls!

I'm sorry, I know I've been M.I.A. for a while now... I've been super busy since my mom is at my aunt's. Besides that I'm still trying to figure out what to study... The list of programmes I'm interested in only seems to get longer & longer. Anyways, me and my dad started doing a "Study Matrix" with Pros & Cons of each subject & future job. Let's see how this works out.

I've been thinking about a post & thought I'd just do a "collective-haul-sort-of-thing". NO - I didn't buy all that stuff at once... I've been picking up the following goodies for a couple of months or so. : ) 

I really wanna do outfit posts but it's hard to find someone willing to take pictures of my outfit each day. It's way easier for me to take a picture of my F.O.T.D. or other stuff. However, I hope that will change once my mom gets back. Haha! 

I'll stop rambling now... Enjoy!

Yours truly, Lea

June Favs

Alo!

Better late than never I guess...

Thought I'd share some of my "June Favs" with y'all. Enjoy! :-)

Yours, Lea  

Hair:

 1.) Dove Repair Therapy Hitzeschutz Aktives Schutz-Spray, Regenerierende Haarkur (Dove Damage Therapy Heat Defence Heat Activated Protect + Shine Mist, Treatment Mask)
Got this new Dove heat defence line & I have to say it's amazing! Both, mask & mist... I think they also have shampoo & regular conditioner but I'm happy with these two as well. :-)

2.) Klier Leave-In Spray Volume, Shampoo Volume (Don't know whether available outside Germany)
Got this shampoo & kind of "leave-in-conditioner-spray" from my hairdresser. It's basically for volume, really does its job plus you only need a small amount of product which means you'll be able to use it for quite some time. 

  3.) Gliss Kur Hair Repair Oil Nutritive Haarspitzenfluid Anti-Spliss. (Don't know whether this is available outside Germany either...)

Now this is some hair serum you put in your ends. I cannot say how much I love this! I've always had problems with split hair ends & I just don't have 'em no more! AWESOME!  

4.) Blonde Highlights.

My new hair color :-) Well actually it's just some blonde highlights. They look natural & fun. (Somhow only my Macbook was able to make them visible... not my Nikon :-/)

Face:

5.) Neutrogena Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Tägliches Waschgel (Neutrogena Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Facial Wash)
 I usually use Garnier when it comes to my face but I recently fell in love with Neutrogena. It's not only doing its job but also smelling delicious! No pimples for me no more. ;-)

Make-Up:

6.) L'oréal Studio Secrets Professional Anti-Shine Mattifying Primer, L'oréal Perfect Match Peach Blush For Medium Skin Tones (Sunset Brown 240), L'oréal Color Indefectible Velvet Powder 24h Hold (Endless Chocolat 012)

My new & beloved L'oréal goodies! I definitely found my favorite blush ever... It's almost a bronzer. The eyeshadow really does what the ads promise: It stays on forever without smearing. The primer is great for oily skin. Just use 3 little drops & put them on your forehead, nose & chin. Done.

Music:

7.) Beyoncé - 4, 4 Deluxe Edition
Being known as an official Beyoncé-Stan this had to be in my June favorites! Her new album "4" - of course the regular Edition AND the Deluxe Edition. I couldn't wait for this album to be released on June 24th [in Germany... 4 days before America! HA! ;-)] Been listening to this ever since then. I love ALL tracks. In my opinion it's one of her best albums (even though all are pretty much GENIUS!) just because it's raw & bold! LOVE IT! Everybody go buy! --> Fav tracks: I Care + I Was Here.

Books:

8.) Siri Hustvedt: The Summer Without Men, Sue Monk Kidd: The Dance Of The Dissident Daughter
First of all: People that know me, know that "The Dance Of The Dissident Daughter" is not only this year's "June Fav" for me.  I read it several times & it really helped me A LOT. I just happened to read it again this month because I felt the need for it & I thought this way I could share it with you guys. It answered a lot of questions I needed answers for. This book changed my life & I really urge every woman to read it! As for "The Summer Without Men": I just bought it recently & I absolutely love it! Another book every woman should read at least once in her life. Actually you should read all of Siri Hustvedt's & Sue Monk Kidd's books/works. They are both GENIUS!
