NOTD October 8th: OPI - Do You Lilac It?

Hey there!

Today I'm wearing a really pretty color by OPI. It's Do You Lilac It? which is a cool lilac creme. At first I wasn't that happy with the color because I don't really think it work that well with my skintone, but now I'm really liking it :) The quality is just the basic OPI one we all know and love - perfectly opaque with two coats, no problems or steaks and pretty longlasting. Like it!

Do you own this color? Do you like it?

I'll see you guys soon! Bye, Misch

Essence New Permanent Line

Hi again,

I kinda figured it out how I want to do the thing with the new Essence permanent line, so here's how I'm gonna do it:

In this post I'll just show you some pictures and stuff, but no haul, because I decided not to buy a ton of things right away, but wait until I really need something and just by the things I want one after another. All you are gonna see are reviews. I'm trying to write a post about every new product I buy/bought to tell you how I like the stuff! Is that okay for you?

Here are the pictures:

By the way: My fist poll is over and you told me that I should do more neutral looks for school, more reviews and more nail art. Neutral looks will definitely be coming up, and since there is the new Essence permanent line, you'll get some reviews as well. Only nail art will be a bit tough to handle, because I go to school and don't have enough time to do a lot of nail art. Also, I can't do every design for school. I'm trying to do it, but excuse it if I don't get to it that often, okay?

And I also started another poll about my toppics to write about, so if you take that one as well, it will help a lot. :) Thanks to everyone who will do it and to everyone who took the first poll.

Okay guys, that's it for today :)
I'll see you soon! Bye, Misch

Clinique Anti Blemish Solutions Skincare Line - Week 1

Hi again,

here is my update on the Clinique skin care line. I've been using it for a week now, and I guess I should tell you about my experience with it.

I really really like the Cleansing Soap Bar. It cleanses my skin so nicely and gently and removes every dirt, sweat or make-up. It a great one, after using it, my skin is squeaky-clean.

The Clarifying Lotion, however, isn't the best toner I ever had. It leaves my skin really cleanly, but it really burns on my skin, especially when I have some sore parts on my skin, and it kinda feels like it dries out my skin. But something I like about it, is that my skin feels so free of any bad things, can't really describe it. :) It seems to get used up very quickly, unfortunately.

The moisturizer is okay, although I hate the scent. I have to get used to it :) But it's pretty nice, it's a light gel consistency that soaks in very quickly. However, this isn't the product for people with dry skin, because for that it's not moisturizing enough.

At first the skin care line seemed to break me out, and I was already really unhappy, but all of the breakouts it caused me, got removed by it within a few days. Now my skin is as clear - or not clear, depends on how you take it - as it was before. I'm curious whether it'll do something for my skin next week!

Do you want to know anything else? Should I mention something else in this weekly mini-review? Tell me!

Okay guys, I'll see you later! Until next time, xoxo, Misch

Halloween Tutorials: Blue Smokey Eye

Hi guys,

today it's time for my first Halloween Tutorial! I'm gonna say it now: This is not supposed to be a whole look or a costume, it's just a colored eye make-up, because I know that some people (me for example) don't like to wear complete makeovers, so a colorful "normal" look would be the thing to choose! Also, if you want to see any certain colors or something, go ahead and tell me :)

For this look, I started off by using a blue cream eyeshadow (TheBodyShopCream Eye Colour in 04 blueberry) on the outer half of my lid. Then I used several blue eyeshadows to create the look (120 palette, Rival de Loop Yound eyeshadow Quattro in 02 blue lagoon). All you wanna do is work your way back from the inner corner to the outer corner, getting the colors darker. Make sure to blend very well! In the very inner corner I applied a shimmery baby blue (Jesse's Girl Eyedust in Baby Blues), then I used the two lighter colors of the RdLY quattro on the lid and when it came to the crease, I first shaded it with the third color of the RdLY quattro and the blended the transition to the lid color with the tow colors from the 120 palette. The V-area had to get darker to give the look more dimension, so I applied the last color from the RdLY quattro, a blue-ish black. Then I blended the whole look towdards the brow using a nude skin tone color (Catrice Nude Cream) and used that a highlight as well.

On the lower lashline I just applied the two mid colors of the RdLY quattro to complete the eyeshadows. For eyeliner I used the Essence Black Mania Pencil and and the Essence Denim Wanted Geleyeliner in 01 vintage style. RdLY diamond wish mascara was used for the lashes.

Where blush is concerned, I just used a bronzer, but go with anything not too bright that you like. For my lips I used a light red lipgloss (Essence; don't know the name, it's old). If you want it to be more wearable, do a nude lip!

I really like this look, I think it's pretty! See this as a inspiration and change it the way you like it, using you own products! You could wear this when you are sailor for halloween, for example.

Do you have any color combinations or looks that I should do? Leave a comment and tell me!

Used It Up!: I finished my Evian facial spray, really liked it, but lately it started to smell bad :P

I posted it in my September favs!

I hope you liked this one, I will try to do two looks a week, forgive me if I'm not able to!

Make sure to check back later, because I will post my Clinique skin care experiences, week 1!

Review: TheBodyShop Colourglide Lip Colour

Hi everyone,

a while ago I purchased the TheBodyShop Colourglide Lip Colour in 42 Dusk Rose, and now I'm gonna tell you how I like it!

Basic Information:

The Colourglide Lip Colour comes in a typical lipstick container that is completely silver. The color name and things like that are on the bottom. It contains 4 g/ 0.14 oz. It costs 10 Euros.

Here you can find it on the website.

Consistency, Scent and Color:

The consistency is really creamy and nice. It both the scent and the consisteny remind me of beeswax, it's definitely somehting you should get used to. The color is a pinkish, reddish, brownish nude color, I don't really know how to describe it. The coverage, though, is really not that good. In my opinion, it's not really a lipstick, I think of it more as a tinted lipbalm. It's kinda like "my lips, but better".

Wear & Care:

The lipcolor is really creamy and due to that, it lasts pretty long. It doesn't get sticky, though. I already feel as if I'm wearing a lipbalm, and that's also true when it comes to the caring features of this lipstick. It makes my lips super soft and moisturize them.

Bottom Line:

I like this lipstick, but honestly, I don't really think of it as a lipstick, it's more a lipbalm. It cares my lips and that's just fine, but I think it's to expensive to just get a "my lips but better" color. If you want to spend that much money on a lipstick that isn't really one, do it, but I won't buy myself another one.

Does anyone of you own a TheBodyShop Colourglide Lip Colour? Do you like it?

As far as lipsticks are concerned, would you like to see my lipstick collection?

Until then, 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
