Spotted: Catrice Hip Trip LE

Hey there!
Today I'd like to talk about Catrice's current Hip Trip LE!
This LE contains 1 eyeshadow palette, 3 lipsticks, 1 bronzing powder, 1 Satin Blush, 5 nail polishes and 1 passport cover. All products can be seen here *click*.
The eyeshadow palette contains 6 relatively colorful shades, very nice for summer. Unfortunately I wasn't able to try it, so I have no idea about pigmentation.
The lipsticks are all very sheer and shiny. They looked nice.
The bronzing powder is said to be hydrating, and I have no idea how that's supposed to work! Unfortunately no testers available.
The so-called Satin Blush is a liquid one in a tube, looked nice but I didn't need it.
The nail polishes come in fun colors that match those of the eyeshadow palette, but there is nothing unique to them.
The passport cover is a cute idea, and they bright pink is quite nice, but I didn't need it either.

After all, this didn't wow me at all. How did you like it?

NOTD May 20th: Kiko - 255

Hi guys!
Today I'd like to show you a Kiko nail polish called 255, which my sister kindly let me borrow.

255 is a deep purple shade, with shimmer particles in all kinds of colors. These make the nail polish a scattered holo! If you wonder what that exactly is, look here *click*.
Application was great, it went on perfectly smoothly, and was fully opaque at 2 coats.
I love how gorgeous this nail polish is, there's so much depth to it! It looks of course stunning in direct sunlight, but you can tell its beauty really at any time.

Do you like it as much as I do?

Movie Review: The Great Gatsby

Hey there!
Yesterday I went to see The Great Gatsby, the new movie with Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and Carey Mulligan. It came out, I believe, last week.
The story basically is about the life of a couple of people in New York during the time of the Roaring Twenties. The person it's centered around is, of course, Gatsby.
I'm quite sure most of you already know the storyline as the book is rather famous.
Now, onto the movie. I'm gonna say it right away, I loved it. I'm personally a huge fan of the Twenties and stories about them, and this one is probably one of the greatest.
The costumes were simly gorgeous, such stunning clothes, I loved that! The soundtrack also was amazing, even if they did use quite a lot of modern songs instead of actual Twenties music. I loved the acting in the movie, every character was portrayed very detailed.
The screenplay of this movie is pure awesomeness. It's in 3D, and it's stunning! The quality, the richness, everything! In every single scene, you just had to stare at the beauty of it all. The whole thing was just pure eye candy. It stunned me how gorgeous it all was!
I love how they made it seem so authentic and comprehensible, but at the same time it was all like a big dream, utterly unrealistic. That was great!
After all, I highly recommend you go see this movie, I enjoyed it a lot :)
Has anyone of you seen it?

NOTD May 17th: Essie - Maximillian Strasse Her

Hey there!
Today I'd like to show you the latest addition to my collection, Maximillian Strasse Her by Essie!

Maximillian Strasse Her is a really pretty grey shade of color. There are some very strong blue-toned green tones to it, which makes for a very interesting color.
Application of it was great, it went on nicely and I did 2 coats.
Maximillian Strasse Her is part of Essie's current Spring 2013 Collection, called Madison Ave-hue.

I really like this shade, it's elegant but at the same time very interesting, and definitely rather unique!
What do you think of it?
xoxo, Misch

Essence and Catrice LE Previews for June 2013

Hey there!
Today it's time to share some previews of upcoming LEs! :)
Let's start with Essence. Their first LE for June 2013 will be called Ticket To Paradise, and can be seen here *click*. I love how bright and fun it looks, I hope some products will also convince me at the store!
Next, Essence has an LE coming up called Girls On Tour, *click*. Looks quite cute!
Last but not least for Essence, they have some rather uninteresting new bottle designs of their nail polish removers to be launched: *click*.
As far as Catrice is concerned, we're talking 2 LEs for June here. The first one will be called Glamazona, and it can be seen here *click*. I love the print of this one, it looks quite nice!
Last but not least, Catrice's Matchpoint, *click*. This one also looks quite promising, I love the deep red colors in there!
What do you think of these LEs?

NOTD May 15th: OPI - Jinx

Hey there!
Today I'd like to show you the last nail polish from my haul, Jinx by OPI.

Jinx is a orange coral shade with golden glitter. It dries to a textured matte finish, as it's part of OPI's Liquid Sand Finish.
Application was great, it went on nicely despite the glitter chunks, and only needed 2 coats!
Jinx is part of the current Bond Girls Collection (Spring/Summer 2013).

I love love love this nail polish, the sugar-like Liquid Sand finish looks just so right with this color, it's absolutely stunning!
What do you think of it?

Review: Synergen Moisturizer for impure skin

Hi everyone,
today I'd like to review my current facial moisturizer, by Synergen.

Information:

• Synergen Moisturizer
• made for impure skin
• available at Rossmann
• contains 50ml
• costs 1,95 Euros
• is antibacterial
• promises to reduce blemishes
• is vegan
• contains 2% salicylic acid

Positives:

• price
• light texture
• refreshing on face
• really seems to reduce blemishes, making them heal faster
• is vegan
• easy to apply

Negatives:

• availability
• doesn't reduce the forming of blemishes
• isn't moisturizing enough, not even for my combination-oily skin

So, after all, I do like this product as it seems to improve my skin. On the other hand, this is called a moisturizer, and every night I have to apply a richer product in order to keep my skin moisturized enough! Can't fully recommend it, and definitely not if you have dry skin!
Has anyone of you tried it out?

xoxo, Misch
