Close up - The Journal

 

Worries over worries with a devastating war in Europe, a worldwide
pandemic still slowing us down, and a planet yearning for more
affection. Creativity and energy levels are at an all time low when
work must go on and this editorial on paper. And although we have
truly beautiful things to show you, our minds and spirits are first and
foremost with those suffering or needing international attention.
We don’t want to jinx it, but fingers crossed and spring and summer
will be the time to show off the looks that we have dreamed of
or secretly modeled in front of our bathroom mirrors. Yes! Family,
friends, colleagues and new lovers beware – we have seen hundreds
of snaps, tweets, stories and tutorials – now its time for the real
thing. All tools you need for the perfect first big moments with
everyone you love are featured in this issue of our
Niche Magazine – close up!
To dos: add ‚MACRENE Actives‘ (p. 30) to your beauty vocabulary
and if the budget allows to your bathroom shelf, look into Natalie’s
(p. 20) if you are planning to socialize in swimwear this summer,
study our Doctors – Prof. Dr. Steinkraus, Dr. Barbara Sturm,
Dr. Duve, Prof. Augustinus Bader, Dr. Sebagh – all of them have
products to write home about! Last but not least, get lost in our
makeup trends that will rule the summer of 2022 – and go
Rouje (p. 58) and out to show yourself!
In not so rosy times it is our mission to deliver moments of simple
happiness to your doorstep – packed with care and filled with the
most delicate, selected pieces of beauty the world has to offer. We
all need positive energy these days – taking care of yourself is
definitely a way to start.

We hope for a peaceful spring and summer,

Laetitia and Sarah
