January 2013 Favs

Hi there!
January of 2013 is already over, can you believe it?! That means it's time to show you my favorites of the month!

Essence Vintage District LE Blush 01 It's Popul-art 
I really like this blush, it works well for my skin tone and is gorgeous. You won't overblush when using it! Here *click* I reviewed it.

Essence Vintage District LE Lip Duo 02 Antique Pink
A very cute strawberry-colored lip duo. Even though the wear is rather poor, I like to use the lipstick during the day :) Review: *click*.

NYX Mega Shine Lipgloss 131 Gold Pink
This is one of the best Christmas presents I got this year, a beautiful lipgloss. It's pink with a golden shimmer, and very wearable. Here *click* is my review on it.

Grundig Funstylers Concial Curling Wand
This is a curling iron I just got recently, and I love it. Makes super pretty defined curls and waves, a review will be coming up.

Syoss Heat Protect Hair Spray
This is what I used to fix my curls, a really great hairspray. I like the scent and the hold it gives. Here I'll also be doing a review soon :)

These are the products I really loved this month :) What were yours?

Review: NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss 131 Gold Pink

Hi there!

Today I'd like to review a lipgloss a close friend of mine got me for Christmas! Here we go:

Information:

• NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss
• shade 131 Gold Pink
• contains 15 ml
• costs 6,95 Euros at Douglas in Germany, is probably less expensive somewhere else
• color is a medium pink with golden shimmer

Positives:

• very pretty, wearable shade
• it gives a nice color to your lips but isn't fully pigmented
• is very shiny
• slightly moisturizes
• isn't too sticky
• wears quite well
• fades gradually
• has a very great scent 

Negatives:

• the scent might be too much for you
• the shimmer can enhance dry parts

After all, I love this lipgloss! I'm a big fan of the scent and love how it works perfectly for every-day looks. Really recommend it!
Did anyone of you try it?

EOTD November 8th

Hi there!
Today I want to show you an EOTD! In the title it doesn't have a name, like my EOTDs usually have, and that's because of a lack of creativity. I don't know, it's not really smokey, but also not too light, it's not very cool or warm toned, and it's also not for just one season. So, no name for this one, sorry!

However, I really like this look, because it's easy to do and it's pretty! I also wore a similar look to a dance night with my friend lately :)
I started off with using NYX's Jumbo Eye Pencil in Yogurt, and applied it all over my lid, stopping right before the crease. There I applied the silver shade from the Essence quad, and blended it towards the brow and towards the lash line with the bronze shade of the quad. In the inner corner and directly under my brow I applied the light champagne shade. And for eyeliner I used the one from the quad. That means I used everything from the quad except for the darkest shade :D Mascara is Catrice's Evolution to Revolution Mascara.

On the lower lash liner I wanted it to be a tad colorful but still be cool-toned. So I applied Essence's Eyeliner Pen in 08 Touch Of Glam, a dark purple, and blended over it with the silver eyeshadow from the quad, to make it a bit more smokey.
I really like this look, do you too?
I'll will talk to you later!

My Pencil Liner Collection Part #1: more wearable shades

Hey there!
Since I've done a lot of collection posts for all kinda categories already, I thought it was time to show you my pencil liners, too! I split it into 2 parts, and this time I'll do more wearable shades, whereas next time I'll show you the colorful ones :) I also included Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencils and stuff like that.

1 Essence Kajal Pencil in 05 white - this is your standard white eyeliner, nothing special. I like this one, but I don't use it too often anymore. It's a little on the harder side.

2 Essence Into The Wild LE Jumbo Eye Pencil in 01 Beat The Heat - a chunky gold glitter eyeshadow pencil in a gold color.

3 NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Yogurt - it's a really hard to describe color, a frosty pinkish silver I think. I like this one for natural looks.

4 NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Bronze - this shimmery bronze color is very red-toned, and that makes it a little hard to wear.

5 Essence Longlasting eye pencil in 03 Let's Dance - I really like this warm, medium toned brown with shimmer, it's great for every day. You have to unscrew it, and it's unfortunately discontinued. Unfortunately you can't tell this one on the waterline.

6 Essence Secrets Of The Past LE kajal designer in ?? - this shimmery brown eyeliner is a tad darker than number 5, and not as soft. It has a sponge at the other end so you can smoke out the line.

7 p2 Perfect Look Kajal in 02 brown - I like this eyeliner a lot, because it's so soft and really glides on. You have to twist this one, too, to get it out. It also has a sharpener at the other end, and it's visible on the waterline.

8 Essence Black Mania black glossy eye pencil - This is like the best black eye pencil I ever tried! It's so soft and glides on easily, and it's also great on the waterline! Really good one, recommend it highly!

Swatches:

in the shade

in the sun

As you might be able to tell, I have a lot of my eyeliners from Essence. That's also because some of these are already a little older from when I bought most stuff at Essence.
Do you have any of these, too?
See ya!

Haul + Great Deal: L.A. Colors + NYX in Munich

Hi there!
I was just lately in Munich for a shopping trip and found an amazing deal there! I just wanted to tell you in case some of you live near Munich or are planning to go there any time soon.

Downtown, where they have their big shopping avenue, and on of the stores is called Fashion Club. It sells clothes, shoes and even a bit of make-up, and that's why it's interesting for us ;) I already told you about this store here *click*, when I found out that they had a huge NYX counter. The address is, according to Google, Neuhauser Str. 33, 80331 München.
They sell L.A. Colors nail polishes and NYX stuff. And now they have this amazing deal going on: everything on the counters is price-reduced, down to 1 Euro per piece! That's so amazing, all of the things just cost 1 Euro! And what's even better: if you buy 10 pieces, you get another 50% off, meaning you only pay 5 Euros for 10 things! How great is that?!
A lot of the things on the counters were already gone, but they are still filling them up again, at least as far as I know. But still, I recommend being quick if you want something!
When I was there, there wasn't really any NYX stuff left, so I only got nail polishes from L.A. Colors. Of course I had to take advantage of the 10 pieces for 5 Euros deal, and so I bought one regular polish and 9 Art Deco nail art polishes. Here are the colors I got:
- nail lacquer in spiced cider

- art deco nail art polish in blue glitter

- art deco nail art polish in red glitter

- art deco nail art polish in copper glitter

- art deco nail art polish in silver glitter

- art deco nail art polish in rainbow glitter

- art deco nail art polish in limon 

- art deco nail art polish in quirky turquoise

- art deco nail art polish in tangerine

- art deco nail art polish in wild fuchsia 

Everything is 2 coats on the nail wheel.
I love all of them, they'll be awesome for nail art!
Hope this helped some of you out :)
See ya!

My Lipgloss Collection #3: Pinks and Purples

Hey there! 

I am gonna show you here the last part of my lipgloss collection, my pinks and purples, basically the cool-toned shades. 

Let's get started!

Essence Blossoms etc. Le Lipgloss - 01 Flowerkissed 

I already showed you this lipgloss here, in a review *click*. It's a cool-toned pink with a slight slight shimmer.

Essence Sun Club LE Bronzing Lipbalm - 01 It's sunny honey

This lipgloss has two sides: a berry pink one and a bronze one. It's very shimmery and sticky and has a sweet scent.

Essence Glossy Lipbalm 05 Berry Sorbet

This is a tube gloss, a berry shimmery pink. It has a yummy candy taste, but it doesn't last too long.

NYX Round Lipgloss 14 Queen of Africa

This is a crazy purple color with a blue shimmer. It has this typical NYX soap taste and you can layer it so it doesn't look too crazy. I already showed you this one in this LOTD post *click*.

Manhattan Water Flash Lipgloss 46D

I really love this bright, vibrant pink color for summer. It has the best light moisturizing feeling on the lips and tastes lightly like watermelon. Here *click* I already reviewed it and here *click* I mentioned it in a LOTD post.

Manhattan Soft Mat Lipcream 56K

This cool-toned pink dries matte and feels light on the lips. Here *click* I did a review about it.

Maybelline Watershine Elixir Lipstick Vibrant Violet

This called a lipstick, but it's really a gloss. It comes in a tube where you have to twist the bottom so it comes out on the top. It's a berry purpley color with some cool-toned shimmer. It tastes like watermelon.

Yves Rocher Luminelle Gloss Brillantissime 53 Rose Idylle

This gloss is really sheer and I don't like the weird taste at all, but the shimmer's just so so gorgeous. It's bright pink, and I wasn't able to picture that in the photos unfortunately :P

Yves Rocher Coleurs Nature Plumping Sheer Gloss 01 Framboise

This mini gloss has a brush and a very very sticky texture. Due to that is lasts very long. It's a nice raspberry shade, but still wearable with the tiniest hint of shimmer in it.

This was the last part of my lipgloss collection :)

*click* here for part one, and *click* here for part two.

Until next time,
