I always love those times of the year when the famous beauty brands introduce their upcoming makeup collections for the season. Therefore I would like to show you what Giorgio Armani has come with for summer. Personally speaking, one of my favorite collections, called ECLIPSE.

Here is the solution! Finally there is the first ever portable razor from Gillette. Experience instant smoothness on-the-go with five curve-hugging blades and you’ll be ready for anything, anytime, anywhere. It’s the perfect match for anyone with a busy and active lifestyle.

Gillette Venus Embrace Snap Moodbild

This portable, stylish compact conveniently tucks into any bag for the freedom to be spontaneous with silky-smooth skin anytime, anywhere. Just wet the razor and you are ready to go!

How many times have I realized that I forgot to shave an area at my leg or missed a few hairs on my arms. Yes, I also shave my arms! I just dislike hair on a woman’s body and funnily enough when it comes to men, I am the opposite, they cannot have enough hair for me.

My Look: Louis Vuitton’s Sticker-Prints

Sandra_Bauknecht_Louis_Vuitton_Sticker_SS15

While filming for Spotlight in Cannes, I wore this new outfit by Louis Vuitton. Since Nicolas Ghesquière took the helm at the French Maison, there have been some amazing new looks and accessories. I fell in love with those sticker-print pieces, inspired by adhesive labels on vintage Vuitton luggage, the minute I spotted them on the runway.

My look: Sticker-print top, matching skirt, silk bandeau scarf and Petite Malle Monogram bag, all by Louis Vuittoncutout leather platform pumps by Saint Laurent, Limelight Gala watch by Piaget, Hapi leather bracelet by Hermès, diamond ring and bracelet, both by Vainard Fine Jewellery.

Fashion lovers around the globe were drooling over the house’s new It-bag, the Petite Malle, a playful miniature take on the classic Vuitton trunk. How cute is it that the bag matches the print on my tee?!

Spotlight from Cannes

For those who have missed it or don’t have the chance to watch Swiss television, here is the first Spotlight show moderated by me that was presented last Saturday. The episode is all about my favorite moments with Chopard in Cannes during the Film Festival. I interviewed Caroline Scheufele and supermodel Petra Nemcova. Have fun watching the show and stay tuned for all my impressions from the Côte d’Azur.

M•A•C’s New Beauty Super Weapon

LIGHTFUL 2 IN 1_AMBIENT_72

The science of skincare meets the beauty of makeup, all presented in one innovative product. I swear on this new beauty super weapon. M·A·C’s latest Lightful creation comes packaged in a modern dual-chamber bottle that holds two potent formulas – a hi-tech treatment serum and an incandescent tint.

Use the lightweight and translucent gel-like serum all over the face at night to curb hyperpigmentation, and the tinted serum during the day to continue the brightening effects while instantly evening skin tone and adding luminosity. Used together, both formulas target a multitude of skin concerns, from dark spots and dehydration to uneven skin tone/texture, all with the help of our Lightful Radiance Booster, chock-full of ingredients and Vitamin C to promote robust brightening.

Lightful C 2-in-1 Tint and Serum with Radiance Booster
Light pale ivory
Medium warm beige
Medium Plus tan beige
Dark deep caramel
Dark Deep rich golden bronze
CHF 69.00

Available from June 2015 at all M·A·C locations and at online.

My Look: Normcore the Chanel Way

Sandra_Bauknecht_Chanel_Way_Normcore

Normcore… perfect boring, special normal – whatever you want to name it, there’s no getting away from fashion’s fascination with the mundane lately. Trend leader CHANEL kicked off the style last winter with its supermarket inspired collection and created the perfect pedestrian look –throw on leggings, trainers and a big easy coat. It’s all in the luxe twist. Minimal effort required.

My look: College coat by Saint Laurent, flared crepe skirt by Balenciaga, crystal embellished biker boots by Miu Miu, pink cut-out sweater, shearling bagcandy necklace and chain and padlock necklace, all by ChanelDiamond ring by Vainard Fine Jewellery.

Let’s just hope that we will get some sunshine soon to finally wear our new summer pieces. It’s time to store coats and boots!
