New In: Berry Autmn on the Oxford Street - Part 1

Hello out there!

I know I haven't been posting anything decent for decades and therefore deserve all the ignoring silence on here :D

But I'm back! and absolutely couldn't wait to blog something again so I decided to start with a small haul from last week. I've been to the oxford street - like every single week actually as it's only 15 minutes footwalk away - and went to the boots sale and picked up some Autmn Make up, which I am very much excited about. Autmn is just my favourite season out of all (providing it's not raining...which it surprisingly doesn't in London at the moment) not too warm, not too cold, warm and COSY jumpers and the best berry colors.



So while teal is the color I'm wearing to death during the summer (apart from the lips I guess), almost 70% of all make up and clothing pieces are berry and or moron haha (NO kidding!!!)

Besides the Revlon Color Stay (Oh how much I've missed Pencil Eyeliner! I only had my gel eyeliner with me!!!!!) and the Loreal Telescopic and Volume Million Lashes Mascara (Review will follow soon!) I also picked up...


Revlon Super Lustrious in Berry Allure
I'm not too fond of glittery lips and as most lip glosses tend to shimmer to the MAX I've been thinking a lot whether to get this color. I eventually did and...am so glad I did! After trying it out at home I stayed happy and grinning like an idiot...thanks to a lipgloss! Long lasting, glossy in a nice NON shimmering way and the most gorgeous color I've ever seen! This one deserves an own post.

MUA Eyeshadow - Pearl #24
Don't get confused by the word PEARL! it's a plumish and yes also berry color. Honestly said I just picked it up because superdrug sold them for only £1 and I didn't have access to my "Rust" by NYX as London doesn't seem to offer this brand :( But it's suprisingly pigmented and I like it alot in combination with other brown colors! It quickly found its way into my Daily Routine.


Sleek Blush - Flushed
It's not a secret that Sleek has the best high street blushes. I usually tend to go for more bronzer or natural colors but made a nice 180° turn for this one. It looks best on my cheeks when I have my hair in a bun or out of my face at least, because for some reason it's a little too much when I have my hair down...does this even make sense? haha sorry i'm listening to music and have quite much no clue what I'm writing. But I really enjoy laying in my bed and talk about my favorite things..


Loreal Color Riche Nude Collection - #Julianne
Haha you might will think "Nude"?! This is red! but no it's just the lighting. It's a beautiful nudish/pinkish color. I've never liked this complete nude color trend as my lips are naturally rather red and nude lipsticks make me look sick but I thought this is a brilliant option. My friend almost ripped my arm off after I picked up the last one in the store haha


Noooowww that's it! :) I decided to post some more little items the next time before I actually show you ALL the things I hauled in the last two months in London! I hope you enjoyed this post! thank you so much for reading

New In: Prom Haul Part 1 - Drugstore

Hellooooo out there! The rain storm outside blew my anticipation of summer away, however, I figured that it's a quite nice excuse to stay inside for once and blog a little bit :)


I don't know if I've told you but it's prom-time next Friday and since my dress is the only point I can check off from my list, i've decided to go buy some potential prom make up-products. I'm planing on presenting my haul in two parts, the first one is obviously about the drugstore/high-street products and the second will be about the more fancy ones (Well I consider them as fancy ;))



You could basically call this a Maybelline haul haha I don't know I guess I went a little bit crazy here. But we will start off with the only non-Maybelline product which is by Catrice. I'm not sure if this brand is well known but I definetely think their products are worth to be mentioned

Catrice Liquid Gold Topper: I've never been skilled in describing things but this product takes my unskilfulness to a whole new level. At first it looks like a Serum with glitter and when you shake it well (as the instruction is saying) it becomes...uhm liquid gold? haha I'm not kidding it's absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to use it.

Maybelline Color Tatoos in #35 "On-and-on-Bronze" and #05 "Eternal-Gold":
I had the feeling like everyone was raving about them, so I picked up two ones since the colors fit to my dress. I really love how they feel on your skin, they remind me on the MAC Paint Pots, but apparently are a tiny bit more pigmented. I'm not sure if they last for 24h but I really hope so since my eye-lids have sadly stayed invincible...at least when it comes to eyeshadow :(

Maybelline Master Drama Chromatics in "Turquoise Vibe" and "Vibrant Gold"
I have honestly said never seen these before. I mean I knew the Master Dramas but I guess the "Chromatic" line must be new. I've been thinking of getting a gold khol liner since as you guys know my dress has golden details. However, the turquoise one instantly caught my eye and as soon as I got the chance to try it out...I instantly fell in love with it. It's sooooooo pigmented, your eyeshadows can definetely be considered as replaced and I admit I'm a sucker for summery colors! I still unsure whether to use it for prom or not but I had to get it!

I've been experimenting with them but since hay fever attacked me this morning I couldn't do a proper make up, I'm sorry, I promise I soon will post one!




Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner
Clinique has been one of the first brands to bring out geleyeliners and I remember people barely payed attention to it. I, as a lucky person with sunken eye lids (bohoo!), however, have always loved how long the line would last without smudging. Now Clinique in Europe is slightly expensive so I'm glad that Maybelline came out with an alternative. I honestly have to say I am NOT disappointed. 

Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream
First of all I have a REALLY REALLY good feeling about this BB-Cream. (And this one is actually not part of the plan for my wedding make up. Now as most of you probably know that the BB-Creams have become popular thanks to the Koreans. Korean BB-Creams usually look slightly grey and match their colors to the actual skin tone as soon as you apply it.( A little bit like the Loreal ones)
However, I've realized that the ones over here are really toned and obviously should not only be used to even your skin out but to make yourself look tanned. Since I am naturally tanned I didn't really like how orange these kind of BB-Creams looked like. However, they got me right there as soon as I've read "Salicylic Acid"(an ingredient doctors use for acne ointments). I've been suffering from acne for years, and my skin has just gotten better thanks to my mom and her lemons (haha but this is a nother story) and I really hope this will help my skin to heal. I really like how it feels on my skin, not too heavy and even more important, it does not make my skin oily! There's nothing more gross than having oily skin during summer time!
I don't know what I will think in a few weeks but if you wish I will write a review on this product :)

YOU MADE IT YAYY! Thank you so much for reading if you have gotten until here! I really hope I've somewhat helped you. The second one will follow very soon!

Bored? My Online Favorites!

Hello there! I've been online shopping A LOT lately and found that there are so many online stores that people don't seem to mention very often. I mean I love all the Asos and Romwe out there, however, I thought I might should introduce you to some of my favorites!


I know, starting off with a rather popular option is kind of wrong. But I love Nelly. It's pretty much like asos but from Scandinavia! They have amazing dresses and very stylish pieces. You can never do wrong with buying things from Nelly!


Another brand from Scandinavia! I love the clothes from Chiquelle! Their pieces are somewhere between Grunge and Hipster and I am obsessed with their collor necklaces! No I'm not even kidding when I say, I would buy all of them!


Gina Tricot has always been one of my favorite stores. However, not everyone has them in their city, which is why I highly recommend to visit their online website! Their pieces go from bohemian chic, to rock chic, to simple. They are very affordable and they even have an own cosmetic line! Unfortunetely you can only order when you are from Europe.


I fell in love with Bershka ever since I came back from my last trip to Paris last summer! I just love their clothes, especially their tops! You can also order from everywhere in the world unless you live in the states (That might be the first time I get to say that haha)


So hopefully you found this somewhat helpful! Did you know all/any of these stores? 
Of course I also like to go shopping in stores like Zara, Forever 21, Topshop and H&M but I thought this would be more interesting to you than talking about stores that you know for sure!
