tassel shaker

Today I got a new nailpolish. Tassel Shaker! 

It's a polish from Essie, with little sparkly bits and pieces which does look lovely on the nail. 

Christmassy! And who doesn't love that? ;) 

tassel shaker and go ginza 

Go ginza is one of my go to in spring and summer, but I kinda like it with the gold/silver tassels in the nailpolish. Next time I'm gonna try a dark red one.

PS: It was the first time trying out my new camera, since I didn't get around much because of university. But I quite like it. I am very happy that christmas is around the corner, which means that I have a little more time too play with it :)

hair care

Since I do have pretty long hair, I do like do use some kind of hair oil to prevent split ends. 

About two months ago I ordered moroccanoil and use it after after washing my hair, when it's still damp. 

I do really like it! It doesn't make your hair feel greasy neither heavy. Really good is that it makes your hair look shiny and healthy and the morrocanoil makes it feel really soft which I really like :) 

Only thing thats a little bit annoying is the price, since i paid about 15€ for this little bottle. 

But unt now, it's one of the best hair oils I used so far. 

                                  

Do you guys use any kind of hair oil?

face brush

Last weekend the bf and I went for a little shopping spree, after a long week of learning. 

The shopping center we went in was so crowded, that we didn't stay long. 

Since I wanted a new face brush, I went to the kiko store.

They had a new collection (LUXURIOUS) -  and I decided to go with a pretty gold kabuki brush.

It comes in a gold pouch, so it's really good for traveling, because you can just throw it in your bag, without worrying that your brush gets dirty.

The brush hair is really soft and it really good for applying powder.

kiehl's midnight recovery oil

Two weeks ago I started using a new skincare product: kiehl's midnight recovery oil.

I do have normal to combination skin and my skin loves the oil. 

I apply it after washing my face right before I go to bed. Just use 2-3 drops of the oil or more if you have dry skin or it's really cold outsight. 

If your skin is like mine (sensitive to new products) or you are sensitiv to scents try to get a little sample like I did
I use it for about 2 weeks every night and I do have half of my sample left.

I'm gonna buy the full size for sure, because my skin really loves it and I do love the scent of it.

In Austria it costs about 35- 40 € which is totally fine if you ask me, because a little goes a long way.

real beauty?

Today I saw this video on Facebook and I thought I had to share it with you!

It's a commercial from Dove. 

It shows how women see themselves and how other people see them.

Watch yourself and think about it!

prom!

On Saturday we had our Prom! 

We were pretty nervous if everythink turns out the way we wanted it to be, and I would say, we can be proud! 

My family and my friends liked it very much (I know they have to ;) )but we got really good feedback from other people as well. 

Our prom is kinda different than others, because we have a big show at midnight, were we show some costumes we had sewn. 

This year our motto was "Circus". We had freaks, lions, elefants, a wizard and some burlesque dancer.

My part was beeing the LED- Women! 

But now I'm showing you some pictures ;)

Best Friends ;)

prom!

This weekend was really funny! :)
Full of meeting friends, dancing and parties.
I visited two proms. The first one, was the prom from one of myoldest friends and the second was a so called "Debütantenball".
This week is going to be all about school, unfortunately!

Now I'm going to show you guys my make- up and my prom dress.
Hope you like it..

Make-up:

Eyes:
I used my Naked2 palette from Urban Decay, a black eyeliner and my favourite mascara from benefit (they're real).

Face:
As a base I used a primer from Smashbox, Bourjois healthy mix foundation, KIKO full coverage concealer, Maybelline Fit me concealer, Maybelline Fit me pressed powder, Benefit Hoola bronzer, Benefit Watt's up and Benefit sugarbomb blush.

 Outfit: 
I was wearing a really modest dress. It's a black, long sleeved dress from Zara. Since it's so simple I was wearing it with a bold statement necklace, also from Zara, black high heels and a black purse.

Hopefully your weekend was as fun as mine was! ;)

strasbourg haul!

Yesterday evening I came home from a fun week in Strasbourg, France.
We did a lot of seightseeing and the few hours we had left for our own, we spent with shopping!

And here are the things I bought:

1.) first of all some things from KIKO. I was in desperate need of a new concealer, so I decided to try a new one. And when I saw this one, I tought why not try it. I have used it only once and I kinda like it. But I have to try it a little longer, so I can tell you what I think about it.
And the second thing I bought at Kikos was an energy mask. We tried it when we were in the hotel. I comes out all black and looks really funny. When you wash it of your face is really soft. 

2.) some soap from a little store. I forgot the name of it, I'm sorry. But it smells so guad. It's like heaven. I don't even want to use it.

3.) Finaly I can try it. The well known Benefit they're real mascara. I really love it! It makes your lashes really long and black. I think it's going to be my new favourite.

4.) Bioderma. Everyone is raving about this. And when I saw it in the stores I had to get it. Since I bought it I used it every day. In the morning and in evening. It's really cool, because you get all the make-up of your face. And a real plus is, that my super sensetiv skin likes it to.

5.) And of course. White Wine! As a present for my parents and a good friend of mine. And my favourite is the "Gewürztraminer".

And the last thing: My first Longchamp! I always wanted one. And when I was in the store, I thought why not buy one, whily I'm in France. It always a good souvenier. It took me some time to decide the colour. But in the end I think I made a good choise.

Those were all the things I bought. Next time I'm going to show you some pictures of the things we did. so stay tuned.
