EOTD June 7th: Nude Shimmer

Hi guys!
I mentioned the Catrice eyeshadow in 070 Mr. Copper's Fields in my May Favs post *click* and told you I still owed you some EOTDs with it. Well, here's the first one :)

When I did this one, I was in a hurry and had like no time. 

So all I did was apply my eyeshadow base like I always do, and I'm still using the one from RdLY. Then I swept a light shimmery champagne gold color onto the inner half of my lid, and for that I used 02 Sun by RdL. Next I added Catrice's 070 Mr. Copper's Fields to the outer half and the crease of my eye and blended it into the sun color. This gives the look some more dimension and makes it really shimmery :) I also applied a tiny amount along my lower lash line. 

For eyeliner I used the Essence eyeliner pen, and for mascara the Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express one. 

That's it already! This look is done in 2 minute's time, and really shimmery and pretty for everyday :) Do you like it?

Until next time, xoxo, Misch

Review: Catrice Papagena LE Blush Stick C01 Tigerlilly

Hey dear readers,
After the 1st anniversary of this blog, let's kick off the new blogging year with this post :) I finally have the review for the Catrice Blush Stick in C01 Tigerlilly. Here's what I think about it:

Information:

• is part of the Papagena Limited Edition
• costs 3,95 Euros
• has a matte coral color
• the stick has a noticeable sweet perfume scent
• the texture is really like wax
• contains 8.5 gramms of product
• the stick itself is way longer than the actual product
• the packaging feels like rubber 

Positives:

• has a pretty color
• looks a dewy on your skin right after you applied it

Negatives:

• is really really sheer
• isn't really visible on the cheeks, not even on light skin
• melts of really soon, especially if you have oily skin
• is a little too pricey for the poor quality
• the scent might be too strong for you

Well, as you might be able to tell, I'm a little disappointed. It's just not as good quality as you might expect a Catrice product to be...So, to be honest, don't get this one and save your money.

I'll see you soon!

xoxo, Misch  

1ST ANNIVERSARY!! :)

Hi everyone! :)
It's the 4th of June and that means: It's this blog's birthday! Yay!
Exactly today a year ago I started blogging with this "introducing me" post *click* and ever since then I posted regularly. In this full year I gained a lot of experience and found out what's important when blogging. I got fantastic readers that make it even more fun, got some really nice comments and wrote posts about everything I thought it might be interesting ;). In a total, I posted 251 posts, including this one, and on this blog 289 comments have been published, including my own responses to your comments, and I have 43 official followers via Google Friend Connect. Also, I had a total of 15.112 clicks on my whole blog, and the most popular post was this *click* review about the Essence Multi Color Blush with a total of 261 clicks, that's at least what my statistics say :) 
It's been an amazing time to see this blog grow, it was so much fun!

I hope you had a great year with me, and thanks so much to all of you! I will of course keep blogging, and I hope you'll keep reading :)
Thanks and Happy Happy Birthday to this blog!
Let's have a great 2nd blogging year!
I love you :D

PS: To the photo: I took it in our garden and loved it! I figured you might wanna see it ;) 

NOTD June 3rd: Catrice Papagena LE - C02 Welcome To The Jungle

Hey guys!
I'm wearing C02 Welcome To The Jungle from the Papagena LE by Catrice. I already showed you nail wheel swatches and stuff here *click*.

It's a shimmery olive green shade, with a hint of bronze shimmer, really unique and pretty :) I had nothing like it in my collection!

I needed three really thin coats for full opacity, and I'm fine with it :) No dragging, no streakiness, nice even coats. It lasted 2 days without any chippings on me, on the 3rd day I had a little bit of tip wear.

It glows in the sunshine and the shimmer's stunning. I recommend applying a topcoat, then it shines even more.
Unfortunately this is limited, so get your hands on it as long as you can!

xoxo, Misch

My Eyeshadow Collection #3: Darker Browns

Hey guys!
Today I have the 3rd part of my eyeshadow collection for you, my darker browns :) Hope you enjoy it!

Essence Soft Matt - 03 Silky Smooth

This is a unfortunately discontinued matte chocolate brown that is pretty warm-toned. It has a nice texture and is quite pigmented, but not too much, so you always get the right amount of product.

MNY 602A

This eyeshadow was part of an LE, but I don't remember which, sorry. It's a cool-toned brown with some silver shimmer/frost. It's not too pigmented, but still nice for nude looks. It was even once named to be a dupe for Satin Taupe from MAC, but I don't know if that's true. 

Alverde Zauberwald LE - Magic Spirit

Magic Spirit is a greenish brown shimmer color, and quite pigmented. It was part of Alverde's Zauberwald LE, and I like it a lot, especially in fall.

Catrice Velvet Matt - 050 Sweet Mauve

Another discontinued color. It's purpley brown shade, and matte. It's nice to apply, but you have to be careful that it doesn't get patchy.

Rival de Loop Duo - Mocca Beige

I already showed you the lighter part of this duo here *click*, and now here is the darker side. It's a shimmery neutral-toned brown, not too pigmented but still nice.

Essence Into The Wild LE Duo - 01 Mumbamumba

Today I'm showing you the brown part of this duo. It's a frosted cool-toned brown with some silver hints in it. It's okay to apply, not perfect, but not bad either.

Swatches:

Well, that's it about this part of my collection :)
Until next time,

xoxo, Misch
