Hi, this section is called [DAILY ROUTINE], you can find bathroom secret cosmetics corners with all the treasures in the way people use them ! No brilliant photoshop shots, just show you what we use AND that’s pretty cool to use just basic cosmetics, natural, mostly local, in recycled packages and so on.

[OBJECT OF DESIRE]  UND GRETEL

Do you believe that what we put on our skin is as important as how it looks? Organic beauty isn’t about sacrifice or compromise, but a way to treat yourself and the environment with the respect and kindness both deserve. These are the the words of Christina Roth and Stephanie Dettmann, founders of the Berlin label of natural cosmetics UND GRETEL.

While working with fashion publications like Vogue, I.D. and InStyle as well as celebrities like Catherine Keener and July Delpy, internationally renowned, Berlin-based makeup artist Christina Roth found that the cosmetic market was split into two categories: beautiful fashion colors often formulated with controversial ingredients like artificial preservatives in one corner, and natural cosmetics that lacked the bold, sexy shades and sophisticated formulas we’ve come to expect from the high-end makeup in the other.

But why should fresh, bold, and modern colors and silky smooth consistencies have to contain toxic preservatives and irritating fragrances? And who decided that natural cosmetics mean sad earth tones or formulas that separate? Convinced there was a better way, Roth teamed up with marketing professional Stephanie Dettmann with one simple goal: to create the most beautiful colours and luxe formulas using the purest and finest ingredients nature has to offer. No preservatives, no toxins—no compromises.

UND GRETEL selects only the finest organic ingredients from around the world that are grown ethically, sustainably and in harmony with the environment. From avocado oil to chamomile extract and water distilled from Clary Sage, the certified organic ingredients derive their nourishing, healing and balancing properties from nature. Combined with the purest mineral pigments and vegetable emollients and waxes—and the conscious decision to work entirely without the toxic and controversial ingredients found in most cosmetics - they've developed a line of high-impact shades that deliver rich, saturated colour wrapped in formulas that smell and feel as good as they look.

How the wonderful girls of und Gretel made me smile (and look good) again:

Step one: We talked a loooot about make-up or to be exact about natural and organic cosmetic

Step two: Johanna, the super sweet make-up artist worked her magic. We startet with Lieth foundation and ended up, 11 products later with Knutzen lipgloss.

Step three: I saved all the tips I got about make up and how to build it!

Step four: I felt sooo good on my way home. The make-up stayed the whole day and even when it was time to take it off late at night, it felt light and more like a high quality day cream. 

Thank you Stephanie, Christina and Johanna. This was exactly what i needed.
