''new in''

Since I needed a new mascara I did a little bit of online shopping yesterday and got a new mascara and a new hair brush.

I got all my stuff in the douglas online store and I'm really happy with the fast delivery (just one day!!) 

Lancôme Grandiôse Mascara 

The mascara wand is different than any other mascara wand I had the last years. 

What it is: 

A first-of-its-kind mascara that provides access to all lashes for bigger, brighter eyes. 

What it does: This revolutionary, Swan Neck™ Wand Mascara provides exceptional length, lift, and volume to all lashes. It features Lancôme's first patented wand, which works with the shape of your face for the easiest application, and the curve of the wand mixes the mascara with each twist open, allowing for formula that stays fresh longer. The specially designed, elastomer-molded brush perfectly deposits formula on each lash, while smaller bristles effortlessly coat even short lashes from root to tip for ultimate volume. The ultra-black, smudge-free formula features Lancôme’s rose cell extract, which nourishes and smooths lashes while providing infinite buildability. This high-gloss, clump-free mascara leaves lashes fanned out with maximum length, and it is designed with long-wearing, flexible polymers, which allow for easy removal.

I really liked the mascara! Before buying it I watched some youtube videos too see what other people think about it. 

Many of them said that you need some time too get used to the different wand, but I have to say I really liked it. Not really hard to get used to it :)

The only thing I don't like is the smell of it. 

On the following picture you see me wearing the mascara on my right eye, the left one eye is without mascara.

The picture doesn't really shows it, but you see a difference.

My lashes are really black and they appear longer. 

Tangle Teezer Compact Styler

Not much too say about it - i love it! 

Since I do have long hair it's sometimes really hard to brush it, but this brush really helps me and makes is a lot easier.

What do you think about the mascara or the brush?

budapest

On Sunday I came home from a short trip to Budapest :)
We (mum, dad, grandma) were running around like crazy, so we are able to see the whole city.

We stayed in the Buddha Bar Hotel which was amazing!
The rooms were really big and the bed was really comfy (really important for me !! ) and even the breakfast was really nice.

We bought tickets for a boat trip so we get to see the city from the danube and on our second day we booked a bustour which was really cool because you could get of the bus on basically every important sight.

Here are some pictures from our short trip. I really liked the city and wouldn't mind to come back anytime soon :)

what a view !!

easy summer recipe!

today I wanted something for lunch that doesn't need much time too cook, so I made myself some pasta.

What you need:

• pasta
• tomatoes
• dried tomatoes
• shallot
• garlic
• basil 
• rocket
• olive oil
• salt 
• pepper

Cook the pasta like you always do.
Cut all your vegetable into small pieces and put them into a pan with some olive oil.

Let the vegetables cook for a little while and put some white wine into the sauce if you like.
In the end season the sauce with salt and pepper.
Put the pasta into the sauce and give it a good stir.

For some extra taste i put some rocket, basil and parmesan on top of my pasta :)

Enjoy your meal :)

merry christmas!

Today is the last day before Christmas here in Austria :)

I'm sitting in my room packing the last few presents I bought today and listen to Christmas music! 

  In the  morning my mom, my bro and I drove to the city to do a little bit of last minute shopping.

The weather was beautiful, not to cold and the sun was shining the whole day.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas with you're families!!

picture day!

On Wednesday was picture day in our school.
Like every year I try to get up a little bit earlier, so there is more time for make up and hair.
And this year (my Matura year) guess what, I got up too late!
There was not really much time left for doing my make up or my hair.

So this are the products I've used. And I have to say, the make up was pretty fine for doing it in under 15 minutes!! ;)

For the face I used:

Bourjois healthy mix foundation in 52
Benefit erase paste in number 2 under the eyes
Benefit boing concealer
Benefit powder in Champagne
Gosh bronzer in 001 bronze
Benefit sugarbomb blush

For the eyes:

Estee Lauder mascara
Maybelline Color Tatoo in bad to the bronzed

and my all time favorite Urban Dekay Naked 2 Palette, since I bought it in Rome in June I used it quite often and I have to say I love it !!

So here is a picture of me just in case you're wondering what I look like ;)

nail polish ;)

Most of my friends already know it! I'm a nail polish addict!!
