Nail of the Day - October 2014

 

Basecoat: p2, Intensive Nail! Hardener

I love a good french manicure - but it is so hard to do it yourself! So how do you do it? You use glitter for the tips of your nails! The great thing about doing this with a glitter nail polish is that there is no harsh line to it that you could mess up. Here I applied two coats of the base color and two coats of the glitter polish.  I really like the way it turned out and I will probably wear this on my nails again :P

What are you wearing on your nails this week?

Thanks for reading,

Products I've used up - September 2014

September has passed and I feel like now fall is finally really here. This morning when I took the bus to the city I was surrounded by fog and colorful trees. I love this kind of weather.
Now I am happy to eventually use the products that I bought with the new season in mind  - because the ones I used before are used up!
Like pretty much every month I used up Balea Shaving Gel Blueberry Love and like every month I have already bought a new bottle. Some other things I used up that regularly show up in my 'Products I've used up' posts are the Catrice Glamour Doll volume mascara, Carmex Classic Moisturizing Lip Balm and the essence studio nails better than gel nails top sealer high gloss. I have repurchased all of these already (no surprise there :P ).
Something I did not enjoy quite as much as I thought I would was the Yves Rocher Collection Cacao Liquid Hand Soap Cocoa & Raspberry. At the end of the day it is a hand soap so I cannot say that I 'did not like it' since it did its job. Doing the job is simply not enough for me to want to buy it again. Another thing I did actually enjoy was the NIVEA cashmere moments creme oil shower! I love NIVEA shower gels, the only thing that keeps me from buying them more often is the lack of scent. They do offer different scents but the scent is not very strong. Sometimes I want stronger sometimes more gentle scents. Right now I am preferring the lovely scent of the treacle moon shower creme in warm cinnamon nights.
Last but not least I used up the DIADERMINE moisturizer which I am kind of torn about. I think this is the best day time moisturizer I have ever had yet - and that is exactly the point. I like that it has SPF and it does prevent my skin from getting worse but it does not really make it any better. If you have any tips on moisturizers for very dry skin please tell me!

I hope you enjoyed this post - please leave me a comment if you did!
