August 2014 Favourites

With August already being over, it is time to show you my favourites from the past month!

MAC Patina
This is such a beautiful eyeshadow! It's of a medium brown shade, not too warm, and it's finish is a frost, which makes for a nice shimmer. I loved using this for all kinds of daily looks! Here you can see swatches of it.

Catrice Hollywood's Fabulous 40ties LE Blush
One of my all time favourite blushes. It's matte, which makes it wearable with any kind of look, and the nice rosewood pink colour is also great! Here's a review on it.

Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow No Pressure!
This cream eyeshadow is my new true love. It's just so versatile! You can wear it at any kind of opacity you like, make it neutral or dramatic, and it's super simple and quick to apply. Here are more detailed pictures of it.

Catrice Beautifying Lip Smoother
A new product by Catrice, and one that can be used all the time. Its shine makes for a great look, but it's natural enough to be worn during day. It's also very caring and tastes great! Check out a review on it.

MAC MSF Soft & Gentle
This is one of the prettiest products I've even owned! Soft&Gentle is so beautiful, makes for the perfect highlight and is easy to apply. Can't get enough of its gorgeousness! Here you can see some swatches.

The Body Show Eyelash Curler
This has always been my eyelash curler, but this month especially I've been noticing what a great job it does! Really makes a difference with my lashes, I love it!

Yves Rocher Aquarelles Végétales Perfume
I'd completely forgotten about how much I used to love this perfume, and was so glad to discover my bottle was still smelling great and had enough left of it! Also reminds of a couple of summers ago when I used to wear it all the time.


Please let me know about your favourites of the month of August! Leave me a link to your post or just a comment telling me about it!

September Favs

Hey guys!
I know I'm horribly late with this, but better late than never, right?! Here are my favorites for the month of September!

Nivea Body Milk - this is my favorite body product of all time. Whenever it gets colder, I pull this out. It's the perfect moisturizer after a nice shower!

Sebamed Soap-free wash piece - I've been trying this new product for my face, a cleanser! It looks like a soap bar, but it's actually soap-free! It's supposed to support your skin's own processes to keep your skin clean. A review will follow soon!

Sleek Blush by 3 Flame - my friends brought me this blush from London, and it contains the greatest colors! I really love them, especially for fall, they are so great quality! Here *click* is my review on it!

Sephora Cotton Flower Eau de Toilette - this is a cute little scent that I picked up at Sephora during the summer. It smells sweet but also clean, and I really like it!

Essence Longlasting Lipstick 01 Coral Calling - a lovely peachy pink lipstick with a creamy texture. I wore it quite often! Review: *click*.

Well guys, that's it for my favorites for the month of September! What were yours? Let me know!

Haul from Italy!

Hey there!
After showing you some pictures of my vacation yesterday, I'd like to continue with talking about my shopping today! I didn't go too crazy, but there was one thing I'd been looking forward so much, and that was Sephora. Here in Germany we don't have it, so I've never been to one before, but I took the opportunity and went to the one in Riccione. Was a great store, pretty much empty so I could do my looking around taking lots of time.
I was gonna get myself a couple of small items, but I ended up buying something bigger and way more exciting: Urban Decay's Naked 2 Palette! I love it, it's absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait to try it! Swatches will follow in a separate post as it's a lot of colors.

At Sephora I also purchased a mini bottle of their Triple Action Cleansing Water, a make-up remover for your whole face.

Last but not least, one of Sephora's mini Eau de Toilettes. It's a mini spray of fragrance, and I got the Cotton Flower one. Love the sweet scent!

Then, I went to Kiko.
I bought one of their nail polishes, in the shade 245. It's a gorgeous deep purple shade with a fine, multi-colored shimmer in it, mainly looking red. It's beautiful, but unfortunately my camera wouldn't pick it up in the swatch, which is 2 coats.

Also, some of their lip liners were on sale, the Smart Lip Pencils. I decided to go bold and bought a bright orange red shade, called 705. It contains a tiny bit of a shimmer. Very pigmented.

Last but not least, another nail polish. I bought the travel size issue of Elle Italy, and it came with a nail polish from an Italian brand called Deborah Milano. The shade I got is 55 Blue Lagoon.  2 coats in the swatch, it's a slightly teal-toned navy blue.

I really like what I got, and can't wait to try it all out :)
What do you think of the stuff I got?

TAG: Scents

Hi everyone,

today I have another short tag for you :) This time it's about scents! Let's get it started:

1. Fruity, floral, warm, spicy, or food smell?
   Fruity and floral are my favorites, but I like the others, too, except for spicy scents, which I don't like at all.
2. Body spray or perfume?
   Depends on the mood, body spray for the day and perfume at night. But in general, rather perfumes.
3. Whats your all time favorite perfume?
   I like to switch my perfumes. I have a lot of samples, so I don't have to get a full bottle every time I'm in the mood for a new scent. Right now, I love DKNY Be Delicious and Giorgio Armani Aqua Di Gioia. 
4. Whats your all time favorite body spray?
   A unfortunately discontinued one from Body&Soul, a brand my local Mueller carries. It's in peach, and it's smells so fresh and fruity :)
5. What are fragrance are you wearing right now?
   My very own scent ;) I just came out of the shower, and it's at night when I'm writing this, so I won't put on a scent anymore. I guess I smell like body lotion?! :D

I hope you liked this short little post :) It would be awesome if you did it, too! :)

October 2011 Favorites

Hello there!
It's already November guys, can you believe it?! It's getting really cold, time to curl up inside the house with some hot chocolate and a good movie, while it is storming outside :) I love that!
But now let's get into my favs for the month of October :)

Alverde Baked Blush in Peach - I really love this blush, especially for the colder season. It's so so pretty, and I wore it every day this month :)
Catrice Urban Baroque LE Illuminating Powder in C01 Masquerade Ball - This is such a great but subtle highlighter, and I used it all the time. I love it!
Essence Metallics LE Eyeshadow Quad in 03 Copper Rulez - This quad is already a year old, and I still love it! For Essence eyeshadows, the quality is really great, and the gel eyeliner didn't dry out yet! I used it on a every day basis :)
Essence Winter Edition Hand Lotion in Raspberry Chocolate Cookie - I love this year's hand lotion edition from Essence, and this scent is just great when it's colder :)
Armani Aqua di Gioia Perfume - I only have a sample of this, but I used it all the time because I like the scent a lot :) Unfortunately I can't afford the full version, but whatever.
Sigma Flat Top Kabuki F80 Brush - This is such a great brush, and I use it to apply my foundation. I've been using my fingers for that the past months, and I was so surprised by what a great result you can get with this brush :) I love it!
Manhattan Sexy Plexi LE Lipstick in 57N - So yes, this is not exactly a fall-like lipstick, but I love it nonetheless. For school it was perfect when I just used it lightly, and that's why I reached for it so often :)


So these were my favorites :) What were yours? Like every month, I'd like to see links to your posts :)
I'll see you later!
xoxo, Misch

September 2011 Favorites

Hi guys,
it's time for September favs! These are the products I loved most during September:

Maybelline Great Lash Mascara - I already reviewed this one a while back *click*, and didn't like it too much. Now the formula has turned a bit drier and I find it way better to use.
Essence Multi Color Blush in How Cute Is That? - You guys know that I don't really like this one, because it's so poorly pigmented. Well, that was perfect this month for school, just a swipe of color, and you can't overblush with it, even if you're in a hurry.
Benetton Perfume Inferno Paradiso Pink - I liked this perfume a lot this month. I still just have a sample of this, and it's nowhere close to the end yet, so I won't be getting the full size ;) I just can't describe scents, so I won't do that here ;)
Catrice Eyeshadow in My First Copperware Party - a new color by Catrice that I use all the time. When it has to be quick, I use just this, and mascara. I love it! Here *click* are some swatches.
Essence I Love Stage Eyeshadow Base - I really like this base, it's great! Here *click* I reviewed it.
Essence I Love Glam Eyeliner and Eyeshadow Powder - This one is really great for smokey effects, even though it causes a lot of fall-out. Review on it can be seen here *click*.
Frankening - this month I made my own frankens for the first time, and I love it!

So these were my favs for the month of September. I'd love to see yours, so please leave me a link :)
See you!
xoxo, Misch

Best of Beauty/ Favorites of 2010!

Hey there!
I know a lot of beauty gurus already did their favorites of the year of 2010 in the last days of that year, but I decided to do that now, since the new year has started! These are my favorites of the whole year instead of only the ones for the month of December :)
I will also sometimes mention just brands, because I got to know them this year and liked them. Here we go, my favorites:

- Jesse's Girl Stuff: I placed my first order there in summer this year, and I really like their stuff! So pretty colors, and great quality!

just some of my Jesse's Girl stuff 

- The "NEW" Catrice: Catrice changed their whole nail polish line in spring of 2010, made so pretty colors, and then this fall they changed almost all of the rest of their line, and it's so good! The quality got so much better, it's amazing! Catrice is my favorite drugstore brand :)

some things from the whole great catrice stuff

- OPI nail polishes: This is another brand I discovered in 2010, and OPI is just so amazing :) Unfortunately a bit pricey in Germany, and now Coty bought it, so the polishes will probably get tested on animals :P but I still loved it this year.

just some of my OPI polishes to stand for them all

- China Glaze nail polishes: Discovered them in 2010 and immediately fell in love! So good quality and amazing colors :)

just 2 of my china glaze polishes to stand for them all

- Nivea Ideal Finish Foundation: This is actually the first foundation I ever bought, and I love it! I expected to have to look around and try different stuff until I find my favorite foundation, but I already did :) Here I wrote a review on it.  

YAY!

- Essence Eyeliner Pen: I love this one so much because it is a felt-tip liner which is so easy to use! You can create the thinnest lines that are still opaque, I love it!

love it!

- Catrice Lipstick in Ocean Sunrise from the Oceana LE: Such a pretty color, a reddish pink, which I wore a lot in summer, fall and winter! So so pretty :)

pretty pretty lip color :)

- Blush and Highlighting Products: I love it! I fell in love with cheek products in 2010, especially blush and highlighters :) Glowy cheeks all the way! :) 

just one of my favorite highlighting products

- Yves Rocher Summer Perfume "Aquarelles Vegetales": Y'all know that I love love love this perfume, I've been wearing it so often and can't get enough of it :)

yummy yummy scent <3

- Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express Mascara: This is my go-to mascara, I use it all the time and always buy a new bottle after I finished one :) Perfect mascara for me!

great stuff!

I think that's what they are, my favs for the whole year of 2010 :)
What were you're favorites? I'm sure I forgot about a lot, but I remember these the most :) You want a review of anything?
See ya,
xoxo, Misch

September 2010 Favorites

Hey guys,

September's already over and now it's really getting fall - grey and rainy outside, but really cozy inside: it's time for spending the evenings in front of the TV, drinking a cup of hot tea:) I love love love this season so much

Evian facial spray - this stuff is so amazing :) it moisturizes, refreshes and cares my skin so well, and the mist is so fine. I used it several times a day, and I'm almost out of it :( I'll get a new one, though :)

TheBodyShop Born Lippy lipbalm in raspberry - I really like this lip balm, it tastes great, cares my lips and gives a nice pink shine. Definitely a fav.

Yves Rocher Aquarelles Vegetales Perfume - Y'all know that I love this scent so much - and I still do :) I used it a lot during this month.

Essence Soft Matt eyeshadow in 03 Silky Smooth - School started again for me this month and so I had to do a lot of nude looks everday and this eyeshadow was my go-to color. It's a matte chocolate brown, perfect to fill in my eyebrows, to darken up my outer corner or to simply shade my crease. This color is so convenient!

Beliance Foundation Brush - This brush is perfect to apply my foundation, I really like it!

Jesse's Girl Enamel in Garnet - This is such a perfect color for fall :) it looks very similar to Chanel Rouge Noir and I love it

p2 nail polish thinner - I had a lot of problems with too thick nail polishes this month and this one helped me a lot.

My Uggs - These aren't real Ugg Boots, but I still love them. So cute shoes :)

McDonalds Mocha Frappe - I love McDonalds Mocha Frappe so much (I kinda love everything in this post...), it tastes so amazing

So guys, these were my favs for the month of September. What were yours?

xoxo, Misch

Review: Yves Rocher Les Plaisirs Nature Cherry Set

I just recently got the new set by Yves Rocher, the Bigarreau Cherry Line. A shower gel, a lipgloss and a perfume are available and they're all supposed to smell like cherry. If you don't know what Yves Rocher is, you should check out their online store. It's basically a beauty store from France that sells natural cosmetics with mostly botancial-based ingredients.

I'm gonna tell you what I think of the products!

First, the shower gel. It contains 13.5 fl oz and if you buy it separately, you'll pay 4,95 Euros.

++POSITIVE++

+ contains botanical-based ingredients

+ lathers very well

+ scent stays on your body for something around 2 hours

+ the price is OK

+ nice, gel-like formula

--NEGATIVE--

- scent is a bit unnatural

- it's hard to get out the right amount because the cap is so huge

I think it's a nice product and if you like the scent, get it. But there are other alternatives available.

Second, the perfume. It contains 0.67 fl oz and if you buy it separately, you'll pay 3,50 Euros.

++POSITIVE++

+the scent is the perfect cherry scent in my opinion. It's not too sweet and not too heavy, it's just really good

+ the price is OK

+ botanical-based ingredients

+ the bottle is really cute (I'm a sucker for cute packaging)

--NEGATIVE--

- the scent doesn't stay so long, just for something around three hours

I really like this perfume and I've been using it regularly now.

Last, the lipgloss. It contains 0.34 fl oz and if you buy it separately, you'll pay 2.95 Euros. It's in a tube.

++POSITIVE++

+ the color is a nice red without shimmer/glitter

+ easy application because of the tube form

+ nice, gel-like formula

+ stays for something around two hours when you don't eat or drink anything

+ botanical-based ingredients

+ the price is OK

--NEGATIVE--

- the scent/taste is a mix between cherry and soap water, I don't like that

It's a nice lipgolss in my opinion, and if you don't mind a weird taste, it's definitely worth to look at.

BOTTOM LINE: I think this collection is nice with a few little negative points. When you are at a Yves Rocher store, definitely look at it and smell it. My favorite out of this collection is the perfume. I got it in a kit by my friends and I don't know the price of the kit and I can't find it at the website.

I hope you all enjoyed this review and I hope I helped you out!

Another Haul :)

Hey guys,
so I went shopping with my friend this weekend. Since I live in a small town we decided to go to a bigger town with more stores by train. Unfortunately, I had a headache all day long and my stomach hurt, so it wasn't as much fun as I thought it would be. But we still enjoyed ourselves, although I was pretty disappointed. I didn't find any cute clothes!! :P That never happened to me before :P
By the way: I'm sorry for posting that many hauls recently, I just have some money right now from my birthday:) I'm not doing my hauls to brag about the things I can afford, I just want to show you want kind of things I like to buy. And if you want hear a bit more about certain products, feel free to tell me! I'll review it :)
So, let's get started with the haul:
I went to a dm, a H&M and a Yves Rocher and bought the following stuff:
- P2 Color Victim Nail Polish in 143 Forever. It's a nude brown tone, one of the kind that I don't really have that much in my collection. I already swatched it on my nail wheel and I like the formula.
- Alverde Gel Eyeliner in 01 Black and the Gel Eyeliner Brush. These are my first products from Alverde. I tried it today and I really like the consistency. The brush is really good, too. It's soft but at the same time very "resistant" (I don't really know how to describe it). You can draw very thin lines with the brush. I even did sports today and the eyeliner lasted all day long and it's not that hard to remove.
Alverde also has some other colors of gel eyeliner in their sortiment and I'll definitively try them out!!
- Balea Young Cleansing Makeup Wipes for combination oily skin. The wipes have a citrusy scent and they remove the makeup pretty well. You can also use these wipes for waterproof makeup.
- H&M nail polish in Sinful Senorita. It's a pink with I ton of glitter and I adore it!! I swatched it on my nail wheel and it's so awesome!! It's a holo and I think it looks like an OPI Suede color but without the matte finish!! (I do own an OPI Suede)
- Yves Rocher Flower Party Perfume and Shower Gel. I really liked the scent of this one when I tried it out, but I have to say that I'm pretty disappointed. The nice floral and fruity scent is gone super quickly and you can just smell vanilia. However, the shower gel which I got for free smells great.
- Yves Rocher Almond Lip Balm. It's my favorite lip balm ever and I just bought a backup. It's perfect!!
- Yves Rocher Box with Q-Tips, cotton balls and cotton pads in it. I got it as a present.

Sorry for the weird background on the picture, I took it at my friend's place.
So, I hope you enjoyed this post and I'll see you soon!!
Bye, Misch
