Every girl has their favourite everyday items, that they absolutely have to have with them all the time.  I receive many messages asking for the brands or links to particular items that I use, so I thought it’s the easiest to show you my must-haves in one list. It might help to give inspiration for potential Christmas presents! 🙂

 

1. Soma Water Bottle

People who are close to me know that I’m a bit weird (in many aspects) and I absolutely never drink from plastic bottles. Besides that I find them yucky, they are also amongst the number one things that pollute the Earth. Crazy to imagine, but every minute a million plastic bottles are bought. While you might tell yourself that it’s ok because you are going to recycle, unfortunately I have to break the news that in the case of plastic – unlike glass or metal – it’s not a solution, as it cannot be recycled infinitely, and after a few times it will end up in a landfill or in the ocean, where it will take centuries (around 450 years) to degrade. Resulting in the phenomenon that even our own bodies now contain plastic waste.. So if you haven’t already please please invest in a glass bottle, like this one! I always have it with me, filled with filtered tap water.

2. Too Faced Natural Eyeshadow Palette

I’m not the most talented person when it comes to make-up (maybe it’s the patience that is lacking or the artfulness), so I tend to stick to easy and natural looking ways when doing it for myself. This neutral eyeshadow palette is my absolute favourite, it’s great for achieving both day and night looks easily. It consists of 9 shades, including matte, satin and shimmer shadows. I owned the previous version of the palette, but this one is even better as it has been updated with an exclusive coconut butter-infused formula for more comfortable wear. I generally love to use Too Faced products, as unlike many beauty brands, they are cruelty-free.

3. Stow London Travel Set

Unfortunately, I have the tendency of loosing things quite often, which is a terrible habit. So I’m trying to come up with ways to make myself more organised in this side of life too. I invested in this travel set a few months ago and now it’s a regular with me everytime I’m flying. Usually I wear small bags where not everything fits, so this is a great addition where I can keep my passport, flight tickets (when they’re not on my phone), earplugs and other travel necessities. It comes with an USB stick, a powerbank and a travel adapter.

4. Adidas Hoodie

I enjoy to be dressed super chic and elegant, but on most days you will most likely find me wrapped up in a warm hoodie. To be more specific it’s almost 100% to be one of Pete’s Adidas hoodies, that I tend to „steal” from him. (Something he finds really annoying 😀 ) I like wearing his even more, as they are so comfy being oversized. Makes sense, right? I wish I could own every colour!

5. Catbird NYC Threadbare Ring

Even though I like it on others, I don’t really wear too much jewellery, besides the ones that I have on all the time. But when I saw this barely there ring, I couldn’t help myself. Sometimes less is more!

7.  Murad City Skin™ Overnight Detox Moisturizer

I discovered this brand last year in New York while being „lost” in a Sephora for a few hours. Since then I’ve been using many of their products regularly, including this overnight cream which promises to detoxify and revitalize your skin overnight. Although it’s a bit pricey, I stick to it as waking up my skin looks great. Thankfully, it’s also a cruelty-free brand!

8. HA Designs Phone Cover

I’m obsessed with personalisation, so HA Designs is one of my favourite webshops when it comes to chic accessories or thoughtful gifts. I own many items from them, but I would highlight the marble phone cases. Since having these I never had my phone broken and they are just effortlessly stylish.

9. Glass Meal Containers

You already know how much I’m against the overuse of plastic, so it’s no surprise that I also changed my meal containers to glass. They are not just more environment friendly, but also the food looks much tastier in them.

10. Fluffy Blanket

I just can’t sit on the sofa without a blanket, the two goes hand in hand for me. One of my favourite interior design shops is Maison du Monde, who also happen to sell the cosiest blankets. A must for the winter season!

11. Moroccainoil Glimmer Shine

This finishing spray infused with argain oil is one of my absolutely essential, cannot do without beauty products. It gives my hair a beautiful glow without making it look sticky. Moreover, it smells amazing, the mix of honey and the original Moroccainoil fragrance. Happy to know that it’s cruelty-free.

12. Fujifilm Instax Camera

I know they’ve been around forever, but I’ve just recently purchased mine. It’s really liberating in the world of perfectly edited photos to just capture the real moments. Can’t wait to take it with me to our next holiday!

13. Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit

As I’ve mentioned previously I’m no genius in terms of make-up. However, I love using this powder contour kit as it is super easy. The palette contains six sculpting and highlighting powders. It is the perfect product to contour and highlight! It’s not just cruelty-free but also vegan.

14. Le Specs Liar Lair Sunglasses

Not wanting to lie, I tried to embrace this year’s tiny sunglasses trend, but it wasn’t a success. 😀 So I sticked to classics, like these cat-eye shaped ones. As it states on Le Specs’ website, the shades were inspired by ’90s California. I love them!

15. Huda Beauty Liquid Matte

Last but not least my favourite lip colour, Sugar Mama from Huda Beauty. This is what I’m wearing 90% of the time, it’s such a perfect vibrant colour. It applies like a lipgloss then dries in a few moments. You just have to be careful that it doesn’t dry your lips too much. Huda Beauty doesn’t test on animals either and is cruelty-free except for their mink lashes. (Go for the faux mink!)
