Little Red Drugstore HAUL

I seem to be thinking in specific a colour spectrum when shopping lately. This time its yellow and red :P I am sorry for using the same background for my pictures a lot but finding new ones that actually have good lighting is really hard. Please be patient with me.

L'Oreal Paris Elvital hair mask

Since I bought the Elvital Shampoo I have been taking a closer look at their hair care products. I have heard good thinks about this hair masks and since it was on sale I decided to give it a try.

 treaclemoon warm cinnamon nights shower creme

I you ever come across treaclemoon shower cremes you've got to smell them. I have had treaclemoon shower gel before and while I do not think there is anything special about the consistency the scent is most extraordinary! I love the scent!

Catrice Limited Edtion Check & Tweed Velvet Lip Colour C03 Brit Chick 

My boyfriend thinks I look like a vilan when I wear this lip stick :D I have been staling this collection online for a while now and was so happy when I finally found it! I could have bought a lot more...

Nivea lip butter caramel cream

This was a gift from one of my best friends! Labello and Nivea lip butters are the same in Germany but you cannot get the caramel cream version everywhere. I have not tried it yet but I guess it is going to have the same effect as the blueberry blush one.

Nail of the day - After Eight

Catrice Ultimate Nail Lacquer 600 After Eight

Top Coat: Kiko Fancy Top Coat nail laquer

Basecoat: p2, Intensive Nail! Hardener

I put on two coats of After Eight before putting on a single coat of the Fancy Top Coat by Kiko. The glitter top coat is overpowering the green base big time. I had not intended for it to be like that and now that I know how this polish applies I would prefer to pair it with other base colours. Nevertheless I like the effect it gives because you can still tell it is definitely silver glitter and it does not appear too be colourful. 

What are you wearing on your nails right now?

Septmeber Drugstore HAUL - Swatches

Somehow this turned into a pretty pink haul ;)
I have been to the drugstore a few times this September and wanted to share some of things I got with you today. I love reading about or watching other people's hauls and I hope you will enjoy mine as well:

essence studio nails better than gel nails top sealer high gloss

This is the third or fourth time I bought this top coat and I will do it again. It makes a significant difference in how long my nail polish lasts and I love the shine it brings to my nails. It truly gives a 'high gloss' finish. 

labello Lip Butter Blueberry Blush

I have wanted to buy this for sooooo long! I own a lot of lip balms so I had resisted buying another one for a long time  - but ultimately I caved in. I love the texture, it is like nothing I have ever tried before. It does not help as much with chapped lips like Carmex does but it still does help and sometimes the consistency just feels lighter on the lips.

toothbrush travel case

I know this is not the most interesting purchase of the day but it is something I should have bought a long time ago. I simply never thought of buying it when I was at the store.

Catrice Glamour Doll volume mascara

This is a repurchase. I really like the natural but still volumizng effect it gives to my lashes. In addition to that it is a rather cheap drugstore product!

Catrice Limited Edition Metallure lip colour C03 Alluring Red

I have been eyeing this collection for a while now - the packaging is simply amazing! I love red lip colours but I already own a lot of them. This colour in particular looks a lot lighter on the lips than I expected it to be but I still enjoy the colour. 

L'oréal Paris Elivital Nutri-Gloss Crystal Shampoo

I have never tried a L'oréal hair product before and I have heard great their more professional lines. I am so very excited to try it since I do not think I have ever used a shampoo with glitter in it before! The packaging looks amazing, does it not?

I am sorry this has turned out to be such a long post but I hope you have enjoyed the many pictures I included. 

Have you ever tried any of these products?

Thanky for reading!

Nail of the Day - September 2014

Manhattan Bonnie Strange 006

Basecoat: p2, Intensive Nail! Hardener
Topcoat: essence, studio nails, better than gel nails, top sealer

I have a general obsession with dark red nail polish but this week I am wearing one I have not talked about before! Actually it is more purple than red but because the color is so dark it is hard to tell. I put on three coats (as always) to help the color stay on better but two coats would have been perfectly opaque. I like how settle the shimmer is- when there is no direct light you can hardly tell. I hardly wear anything than red in the colder moths and this one will surly be on my nails more than once this year!

What are you wearing on your nails at the moment? Do you have an all time favorite red?

Thanks for reading :)

Products I've used up - August 2014

Pantene Pro-V Silky Smooth Conditioner 
This was a humongous 400ml bottle and it took me forever to use it all up. I bought this in February 2013 and just used it up this August! And what did I do?  - I repurchased it! I love this stuff. I am a little scared that they might have reformulated it since they changed the packaging and I bought my former bottle over a year ago. I have naturally curly hair and this product actually makes my hair dry 'straighter' while still making it shiny and feeling very soft.

Weleda Skin Food
This is a must have in my skin care routine. I have very dry skin and no other moisturizer does such a good job taking care of that problem. I only apply this at night because it makes your face super shiny and sticky for quite some time since it takes so long to really sink into your skin and because has a strong herbal scent to it. I notice a significant difference in my skin when I skip a day of applying this product. I have repurchased this already but I am still looking for a good day time moisturizer - any suggestions?

Isana Nail Polish Remover & Rival de Loop Clean & Care Eye Make Up Remover
These are products I repurchase all the time and that talked about a lot already on the blog.

Theramed Interdental Toothpaste
Ok, toothpaste is a little boring ;) but I always think it is interesting to see what toothpaste other people are using so I thought I'd share mine as well. Theramed is my favorite brand of toothpaste. I am very particular about the 'taste' of toothpaste and I hardly like any. In addition to the taste of Theramed toothpaste I really like their packaging! I think it looks great and it is also a lot more practical than the usual tube.

This time around I repurchased every single product I used up in the last month - I don't think that ever happened before! Did that ever happen to you?

Thanks so much for reading,

August Favorites

August is over and it is time for monthly favorites!
I have tried a lot of new products over the last few months that I never told you about! So here they are:

Alverde Body Butter in Vanilla & Manderine
This is my all time favorite Body Butter! I had this last autumn and when I saw it back on the shelves of dm I had to get it! I do not usually like the smell of vanilla but I love this scent. It moisturizes my skin very well, sinks in quickly and the scent is simply heavnly...

The Body Shop Squeaky Clean Scrub
This is the most effective face scrub I have ever tried. I had a little tub of the The Body Shop Body Scrub in chocolate and liked it so much I wanted to try one of their face scrubs. I have dry, sensitive skin and this scrub is the perfect mixture of cleansing and effective but not too harsh. It just makes my skin feel 'squeaky clean' which is why I feel like the name is simply perfect.

Alverde Eye Creme for every Skin Type
I have been trying out a lot of eye cremes. I think I will do a comparison blog post soon - but just so you know: this is my winner!

CarmexClassic Moisturising Lip Balm
This is an evergreen all over amazing product. I could include this in every favorites post but this month it truly deserves a spot. I have been sick last month and when I am sick my lips are dry and cracked and hurt - and the only thing that helps is Carmex!

Catrice Ultimate Colour Lipgloss Limited Edition Carnival Of Colours C04 Feel the SpiRED
I do not know why the word 'red' is in the name because it is definitely a more pink color. I hardly ever wore lip gloss anymore until I bought this one (I think in July?). I love it! Wearing lipgloss feels so much lighter than wearing lipstick and the gloss just looks so shiny, fresh and effortless. I loved it for the summer time <3

The Body Shop Special Edition Blueberry Body Scrub-Gelee
I bought this in the sale for only 8Euro. I love the scent, the texture (it literally looks like blueberry jam) and the effect it has on my skin. You only need a very small amount of product for your entire body. It clears my skin out and makes it feel smooth and clean.

Now on to some favorites that I cannot really show you but I still wanted to tell you about:

Cheesecake Recipe
I am a little baking crazy :P
I love baking - especially in the middle of the night. Does anybody else do that? It is late at night and I just feel like baking. Due to that I try out a lot of recipes and my I wanted to share last months favorite with you: Cheesecake! I will like the recipe here. I am sorry for all my international readers but its in German. I you want to I can try my best at translating it.

Shake it off - Taylor Swift
OH. MY. GOD.
The new Taylor Swift album that will come out next October is making me jump up and down in excitement! Of course I love her new song Shake it off and have been listening to it on repeat!

Normally I do not talk about FLOPS in my Favorites Posts but this month I had to mention one. The movie Lucy was one of the worst movie I have seen this year. It just felt like it tried to sell basic physics knowledge from school as breakthrough new ideas of the main character. I am not saying that 'this is basic knowledge everyone should know and you should feel stupid if you don't' but I think it is idiotic to sell it as something it simply is not. I felt like they tried to make everything so 'epic' and be so unbelievably 'deep' and 'scientific' and they just failed at delivering that completely. Other than that I also did not enjoy the plot.
Another movie I saw last month that I really liked was Guardians of the Galaxy! I do not think it was as good as everyone says (I feel like it's everyone new favorite Marvel movie) but it was still good. I love Groot <3

This feels like the longest post I have ever done! Is it too long? Please leave me your opinion on that in the comments below.

Thanks for reading,
