Keep your skin smiling!

By Terry

I’ve had a long running love affair with Terry de Gunzburg also known as ‚The genius of make-up and guru of colour‘ and the creator of Yves Saint Laurent’s original „Touche Eclat“, which most of you will already know or use. For me her label „By Terry“ is head and shoulders above the rest – I can’t get enough of her products. Here are some of my favorites:

Hyaluronic Hydra primer boosts radiance and correction of all foundations.

Touche veloutée concealer, our new best friend for tired eyes and magical highlighting concealer.

Touch Expert Advanced banishes dark circles, smoothens wrinkles, imperfections and erases all signs of tiredness. Amazing!

Eclat de Teint disguises signs of tiredness and imperfections with a natural luminious finish. Lovely day or night with that little glow.

Rose de Rose Rouge, an all-over-face sheer liquid blush. Say goodbye to dull, tired looking skin. Instantly shapes and smoothes your cheek bones.

Or de Rose for Lips adds a plump, smooth and full appearence to the lips.

Baume de Rose for lips and nails – every handbag should have it!

Hyaluronic Hydra Powder…the perfect finish ! The only powder with hyaluron. Transparent, smoothing and moisturizing your skin. Even the dryest skin will love it. WOW WOW WOW

HENRI – more than a hotel

A temporary home in the center of Hamburg.

Henri is a welcoming hotel for cosmopolitan and unconventional guests. It’s not just another hotel with a commodity design! There are 65 cool and retro styled studios, suites and loft suites waiting for you! You simply have to be impressed:  dark wooden floors, cozy sofas, handmade carpets, custom made furniture and accessories. The rooms are also partly equipped with kitchen units!

You can even find an individual ‚HENRI wallpaper‘ on the walls: triangle tables and nostalgia phones that are giving a living room an atmosphere of the 50’s!

The meeting point at the hotel is „The Abendbrod!“.  Here you can meet with other hotel guests, have breakfast or just a bedtime-snack.

The funny thing about it: the guests can get it themselves out of the retro-fridge in the open kitchen. For example prepared soups or salads are waiting for you! And every weekend they will surprise you with different cakes and a good coffee.

But no worries- you can run off these pounds again! ;) At the gym downstairs!

There’s also a very nice wellness area on the upper floor – including a view over the rooftops of my beautiful Hamburg.
