Favourite products from IRMA'S World

 

As you know I travel quite a lot. For one reason, because it is my job to discover the world for the latest stories, interesting people to interview and new places to discover. And the other reason is, because I love it and summer is the perfect time when the sun is shining and getting around a city is much easier. Once arrived in another country I can’t stay too long in my hotel room, I want to experience the country and the people – their culture, their daily living, their rituals & habits. One of my favourite spots to learn more about culture, besides galleries and restaurants is a local beauty shop.

Sometimes I find a beauty discovery piece at a small beach market stall, sometimes in a vintage apothecary in the old town or in a trendy shop in a big mall. Its important to keep one’s eyes peeled all the time, cause the next trend or the next must have is maybe just around the corner. You can imagine that my luggage is always very heavy when I am on the way back home. Till now! Cause recently I found my ally for beauty shopping: nichebeauty.com.

This shop is so cool cause they are like me: always looking for the new and cool trends and bringing them to Germany! You find some really innovative and small beauty brands and also many brands are selling only there and nowhere else in Germany! You can shop the latest make-up trends from my personal foundation hero Westman Atelier, Chantecaille or Jillian Dempsey (yes, she’s the wife of McDreamy). Or really good care stuff from Augustinus Bader, Sunday Riley or SeventyOne Percent. And of course there are lots of products for your hair, your body, your nails or beautiful scents. And the best thing is, that I can shop their online store no matter where in the world I am at the moment. When I come home my package has already arrived…

 

 

You want to know what I bought for my up coming summer holiday?

In my hand luggage there is always some make-up. But just some essentials I can use multiple: like rouge as Lipstick, Foundation as concealer or highlighter as eyeshadow.

The „Vital Skin Foundation Stick“, Westman Atelier is really perfect for every handbag. It is small and you can use it just at the zones you need it- and I use it as a concealer too.

My lips are always dry in the plane or when I travel through different climate zones. So I always have the „Rosehip Lip Cream“ from Aesop with me.

On a journey my make-up is very clean and basic. But the Jillian Dempsey, „Lid Tint“ in Smoke is always with me. Because it is perfect for smokey eyes but you can also use it with a small brush and draw an eyeliner or do the best kept make-up secret: tightlining with it.

My essential in the hand luggage: the „Color + Light Pressed“ from Kosas. It is a highlighter und blusher in one product and you can use it perfect for a touch up on the go.

My creams, lotions and co. are always packed in little reusable plastic bags so if there is something damaged in the luggage – no problem.

My trick: Roll your beauty products in socks or put them into your shoes. This works like an airbag for them.

I don’t want my bags too heavy so I only take the most important products with me. Like a very good cream, that works best for your skin. My favourite is the Augustinus Bader “The Cream”, cause you can use it in the morning as well as in the evening.

And of course I always have a good sunshield with me like the “Eco Sun Spray” from SeventyOne Percent. And at the beach I use it also for my head to protect my hair and scalp.

If I plan a trip to the beach I also take the Juno Antioxidant + Superfood Face Oil from Sunday Riley with me. This is the perfect on top care and an After Sun treatment, than I mix it with my face cream and use it as a mask

For my hair I keep it simple but it is important to use good products. Cause sand, sea and the water in the pool ar stressful for the hair. So my all-time-companion is Leave-in-Conditioner. I comb it to the ends of my hair to protect it!.

The Hair by Sam McKnight Cool Girl Haarspray is so cool for summer styles and it is so small enough you can also take it with you in the hand luggage for a weekend trip.

To have all parts of support for my hair without hauling, I searched a long time for a good set. Now I found the Briogeo, “Frizz Control Travel Set” that contains Shampoo, Conditioner, Leave-in Conditioner and Heat Protection all together in a very beautiful bag.
