Christmas Nails

I know, I know. It's been awhile. My classes kicked my butt!! English I had 5 papers due in an 8 week class period. Then I took German and had two papers due that weren't as bad as the English ones. I loved the professor, he was a sweetheart and made class very fun and entertaining but the book was broken up ridiculously; didn't make any sense but I'll take German 102 in late spring. Needless to say I was busy.

I received this mini OPI in my Oktober Glossybox. I believe but I threw out the card and didn't get the name! Ugh!

                                          I wore this for Christmas and received many compliments! It's a true holiday                    colour and will probably wear it again soon.

If you know the name of this colour please tell me!!

Next update will be where I was for New Years and a haul and the December Glossybox. I have to make it up to you girls!! Ciao!

Small Rossmann Haul

I went to Rossmann a few days ago to pick up some essentials and picked up two more items and just thought I'd share.

From L-R

Polish # 122 'Chic Reloaded', #128 'let's get lost', Pure Skin Anti-Spot Gel, Pure Skin Anti-Spot Wash Gel

Essence re-launched there nail polish colours; some old some new. I love the new shape of the bottles instead of 1,25 euros the new price is 1,55. Also you have more product, old bottle was 5ml while the new one is 8ml.

The Anti-Spot gel is a favourite of mine, it fades dark spots and fights existing spots. The face wash is great at stopping new spots from forming and minimizing pores and blackheads. Its very gentle and recommend it to everyone.

Next post will be the July Glossybox (DE)

Ciao!

Birthday Presents!!

Even though my birthday was last Thursday I didn't get my gifts until this week. So far this is what I got:

Sony Tablet S...I love this so much!! I can't begin to tell you how much!!

Dolly Wink #01 (Dolly Sweet)and Rilakkuma Eyelash Case

I had these on my Amazon wishlist for so long, forgot about them and then, BAM! they came in the mail.

That's not all I received, E.L.F. had a 50% on everything so I got some stuff from there some of the things that I wanted were out of stock and are still out of stock so that sucks! I ordered about a week or two ago; It'll be another 2-3 weeks before I get my E.L.F order since I live in Germany and shipping takes FOREVER!!! So if you order from them and you live in the states or Canada (for me and others that live over here) don't complain that you get your box in 7-10 days; it takes us 4-6 weeks!!!!

That is all!

Ciao bellas!!

London Mini-Haul

I recently went to London for the Wireless Festival. It was three days of music on three different stages, you could pick individual day(s) or the weekend pass. The hubby and I went all three days. It was amazing!!!

I would have like to picked up more make up but my hubby wanted to see London. I got a nice small haul though; probably need to contact some gal in the UK for a make up swap. There's so many brands, it was hard to choose. I did have MUA, Sleek and Collection 2000 on my mind. Sadly, I couldn't find the Collection 2000 concealer in my shade and I went to 3 different Superdrug stores!!

On to the haul:

(L-R)

Lipstick Barry M 53-Coral, MUA 'Out There' Lipgloss in Candy Pink, Barry M Nail Paint 310-Mushroom, Barry M Nail Paint 3-Retro Red, Natural Collection-Topaz, Natural Collection-Antique Coral, Natural Collection-Lunar Haze, Natural Collection Lip Gloss-Sherbet Fizz

All MUA palettes the one on the left is squared

This is the "Going for Gold' limited edition...in honour of England hosting the Olympics this year. The pigmentation on this palette is amazing. All of the palettes that I bought are. MUA eyeshadows feel creamy and smooth with no fall out. I say that now because I've only swatched them with my hands haven't dipped a brush in there yet.

                                             

Glamour Days Palette

This has nice soft spring/summer colours. I needed more variety in my shadow shades, since I stick to neutrals but this jumped at me. None of the Superdrugs that I went to had the 'Undressed' palette which I originally wanted; but none the less the palette is gorgeous!

Heaven and Earth

As stated before I can't resist neutrals, loving this palette!

Oh So Special!

I picked up two Sleek palettes. My exchange sister has been raving about them for awhile. Two years ago, I wasn't interested in makeup like I am now. She was spot on about these shadows; very pigmented.

Without the plastic

Storm Palette

Yes, more neutrals...my true weakness. lol. Actually, plan on creating a lot of smokey eye looks with black shade, since I've never owned a matte black shadow.

That's the end of my haul wanted to buy and discover more, but we were pressed for time. Ciao bellas!

April Glossybox (DE)

Sorry about the tardiness of this post, but here is the April Glossybox, which we didn't receive until the begin of May, I forgot the reason now. I received two full sized products a Cosline kohl eyeliner and an Illamasqua lipgloss; my first Illamasqua product and I jumped for joy!

Cosline eyeliner is an eggplant colour, I think it would be great for the fall. BM Blusher is a light pink with small gold undertone, I've been using it one top of my E.L.F. blusher for a nice pop. The red Illamasqua lipgloss, I adore. I've never owned a red lipgloss before but I'm loving this.

Eubos - Prevent premature skin aging caused by UV radiation, prior to hyaluronic Repair & Protect SPF 20 by EUBOS. The Hyaluronic acid strengthens skin texture, vitamin C creates an even complexion and Q10 protects against free radicals. Through selectedconditioning oils can spread the cream is absorbed quickly and easily.


Illamasqua - The trend product from London: The sheer lip gloss gives your lips from Illamasqua-unique luster. This sensual, highly pigmented colors to emphasize the lips and transform it into a seductive pout. From nude on pink to bright pink lip gloss sheer light can inspire many wonderful nuances. He is listed in various colors in the Glossybo.


BM Beauty (Blusher) - Bring your complexion to shine - with the blusher, BM Beauty. The 100% natural, mineral formula gives wonderfully opaque color - without clogging pores - so that the skin can breathe. The blusher is free of parabens and synthetic dyes and fragrances. In addition,BM Beauty deliberately avoided in the manufacture of animal experiments. The productis suitable for vegans and vegetarians. The blusher is in the varieties "Peachy Glow" and "Velvet Dawn"


Cosline 'Kajal Pencil' - The eyeliner in the color of COSLINE "No. 29 Eggplant is "the perfect eyeliner every day.The subtle, dark hue is softer than black and fits nicely with all eye colors. The very soft consistency of the Kajal makes a gentle, easy application. It is smudge and water resistant - it is about the eyeliner throughout the day guaranteed! The best part: Due to  swivel it is no longer necessary to have an eye pencil sharpner.


Dr. Scheller (Hand Balm) - Give your hands especially rich treatment - with the Sea Buckthorn Hand Balm by Dr.Scheller. Valuable extracts of sea buckthorn and marigold penetrate deep into the skin and have a protective effect. The hands are also calms and with high quality oils such as soybean and sunflower seed oil smooth.


Thomas Sabo 'Kiss Charm' Perfume - Who does not know it: the feeling of butterflies in your stomach when you're newly in love? Precisely such moments highlights Kiss Charm by Thomas Sabo. The eau de parfum smells sweet and sensual for fresh strawberries, champagne and dark chocolate. Are complemented by the spring-like shades currant, raspberry, jasmine, violet, sandalwood and Madagascar vanilla. Who can resist this fruity-floral fragrance?


Thoughts: I like all the products I received, my only peeve is the perfume sample; if I'm paying 15 euros for a beauty box having one of the five samples being a perfume sample that I can easily get at Douglas (German Cosmetic store) with any purchase, they throw at least 3 samples no matter how much the purchase is; of course buying more gets you more. I've had the Thomas Sabo sample before (courtesy of Douglas) and I like but it's just something I wouldn't want in my beauty box.


*All product descriptions from Glossybox.de website, I roughly translated them some help from a friend. ^_^                                                            Ciao!

Nail Colour: E.L.F. Coral (10413)

I've been falling behind on my nail posts. I was going through my photos and realized, I never posted these and I don't know why, laziness perhaps since I haven't put on any polish in about 2 or 3 weeks. I bought this polish in January/February and didn't get to wear it until March because it broke in shipment and took even longer for the replacement.

For $2, the colour pay off is amazing!! I had more compliments on this polish versus my Peridot Chanel!!

Gorgeous colour!! Will definitely be wearing this throughout Spring and Summer. Don't you love getting compliments and telling people the brand or cost and they are absolutely amazed?

Ciao!

Nail Colour: Barry M-304 Mint Green

You all know how much I love my nail polishes. My co-worker is from London and she went to visit her parents last month, so I had asked her to get some products (drugstore) that I've been eyeing. The last time I was in the UK was when I was an exchange student in year 8, so I know all about Barry M nail varnishes. The only thing she could get were the varnishes.

Natural light

I love this colour, such a spring time colour. Glad to have this as a part of my growing nail collection.

Ciao!
