Catrice long lasting Lip Pencil - 070 I Got You Babe!

Catrice long lasting Lip Pencil 070 I Got You Babe!

This is so strange. The swatch and the packaging of the lip pencil match pretty perfectly but when I wear it on my lips it looks completely different. It looks a lot lighter and almost nothing like the swatch. I do not know how that happens but I do not like it. I am not quite sure what to make of the color on my lips, it is a little too pale for what I like. On top of that it most be the most dry lip product I own. I am sorry, I usually like Catrice lip products (my favorite lip pencil ever is by Catrice) but I do not think I will wear this a lot. I am disappointed :(

H&M Shoe HAUL

This has been a shoe-crazy year for me. I do not think I have ever owned this many shoes in my life. And I am loving it. All of these items were on sale at H&M and you can still get some of them online. I ordered even more shoes than this but I tried to be reasonable and not keep all of them.

blue bag

I have been eyeing this bag for so long... I own pretty much the same bag in brown and I love that one. I love the deep dark blue color, the size, the shape, the material - I just love everything about it! I am so glad I got it in the sale (it was the very last one!).

black high heels

These are so pretty. They have a gold buckle which pretty much the only thing I do not like about them. In the picture on the website the buckle does not look gold so do not be tricked by that! They are actually quite comfortable to walk in and I hope I will get a lot of wear out of these.

dark brown ankle boots

I have actually ordered these before. They were way too big on me at the time, so I had to sent them back. Now that they were on sale I had to order them again!

light brown ankle boots

Again, I have ordered these before. It is basically the same story. They were too big on me, I ordered them a size smaller this time and now they fit perfectly.

statement necklace 

I have no idea when or where I should wear this. I am also not sure about what to pair this with - but I do not care. I love this. It was on an amazing sale because I never would have paid the full prize of 17.99 Euro for this no matter how pretty it is.

My Summer Playlist 2015

This is a little selection of the songs I have been listening to a lot lately. I know they are not new releases and some of them have been out for a lot more than just a year but maybe you have never heard them before or just forgot about them. 

HAIM - If I Could Change Your Mind

HAIM - Falling

Major Lazer & DJ Snake - Lean On Me (feat. Mo)

Taylor Swift - Shake It Off

Avril Lavigne - Give You What You Like

Jason Marz - Curbside Prophet (New York Minute)

Karmin - Acapella (acoustic)

Jason Derulo - Want To Want Me

The Weekend - I Can't Feel My Face 

If Curbside Prophet does not sound like summer to you I do not know what does. I love all these songs and continue to listen to them on repeat over and over again.

What are your favorite songs for this summer? 

Shopping Tip - Astor

Did I buy the exact same magazine twice? Yes, I did! I cannot remember ever having read Petra outside of a doctors waiting room or a hair salon. I do not really buy magazines anymore but this time I could not resist. I had just left another store after looking at the Astor Soft Sensation Lipcolor Butters but they were a little expensive for me to buy them - and then I saw Petra! The magazine itself costs half as much as the Astor lip butters and since they added these 'for free' it was a deal I culd not resist.

Astor Soft Sensation Lipcolor Butter 018 Pretty in Fuchsia

Astor Soft Sensation Lipcolor Butter 005 Pretty Poppy

The dark pink one is from Astor's ultra vibrant color range while the other one belongs to the color + balm + shine collection. I have been wanting to try these in for forever! You could also get the magazine with a red lip butter but since I really do own a lot of red lip products I resisted buying that one as well.

Do you still buy and read magazines on a regular basis?

Manhattan lip lacquer 20 N tempting red

Manhattan lip lacquer 20 N tempting red

I have wanted to try one of these for a long time now! It is easy to put on and I really like the applicator. The finish is very milky, shiny and opaque. I do like the finish but I also think it makes it less wearable for everyday life. I love red lip products and will therefore probably get a lot of wear out of this.

What do you think about the Manhattan lip lacquers? What colors can you recommend?

July Drugstore HAUL

It is haul time again! I love watching or reading about hauls! I do not even care what people haul. It can be cloths, it can be fashion, decor or food. Something about it is just so entertaining to me. Hauls just get me excited... especially when I am supposed to be studying... oops...

essence lipliner 15 Honey Berry

Manhattan Lip Lacquer 20 N Tempting Red

Catrice Longlasting Lip Pencil 070 I Got You Babe!

I might have gone a little bit lip product crazy. There was a sale going on so I guess I will use that as an excuse. I like wearing lip liner or lip pencils but I do not own a lot of colors so I wanted to add to my collection. The lip lacquer was more of an impulse buy. I swatched it on my hand and waled around with the color on my hand for a while. I just loved it so I went back and got it.

 L'oréal hair expertise conditioner for damaged hair

This was on sale which is why I got it. Normally this would be too expensive for me to buy but since I actually liked (not loved) the L'oréal hair mask I bought last autumn I thought I would give this a try.

Pantene Pro-V smooth & sleek conditioner with frizz-control

This an all time favorite of mine that I have repurchased multiple times. It actually does help smooth out my hair and helps with keeping it rather straight.

Palmolive Feel Dynamic shower gel

Everyone seems to love Palmolive's shower gels and I have never tried them. Somehow I am really into trying different shower gel lately. I never really cared too much about shower gel but now I have to hold myself back from buying several at ones.

bebe berry smoothie body lotion for dry skin

I love my shower gel in pomegranate smoothie by bebe so much, I just wanted to try more from their brand. I usually use alverde  body butter but they just came out with the new scents and they are just not for me. I thought since it is summer now I might as well try a lighter body lotion. In addition to that pretty much everything that says 'for dry skin' makes me want to try it.

NIVEA creme

I used to use this all the time. This is pretty much a classic. Now that I own it again I cannot help but wonder how could not repurchase this for such a long time?!

hair ties

Well... I bought hair ties because I needed hair ties. There is not realy anything to say about that I guess ;)

essence lipliner 15 Honey Berry

essence lipliner 15 Honey Berry

This is a lot more purple than I thought it would be - but I love it! It is just the right amount of purple for me. It is enough for it to be different but it does not look too crazy.
It is a rather a creamy lip pencil, it just glides on really smooth. I would describe the finish as semi mat which I like.
It also does not make the little creases (?) in your lips stand out as much as other lip liner do.

I really like this lip liner, have you ever tried one by essence?

What lip liners do you recommend?

Product's I've used up - June

This month I used up a lot of products. O one hand that is great because it means I can start using a lot of new products. On the other hand it also means I have to repurchase a lot of things which is not the best for my wallet...

Pantene Pro-V conditioner for straight hair

I love this. This is my second bottle and I already repurchased it. They always change the packaging and I am not sure how I like that. I think I prefer the old version. I does take e a long time to use up a conditioner because I do not use the one every time I wash my hair. This is the only conditioner that I have ever tried that actually makes my hair stay more straight. It also makes your hair easy to brush through and less frizzy.

Guhl Shampoo

I liked this but it is just too much for every day use. I might repurchase this one day but not now. When you feel like your hair needs to really be deep cleaned this is the product for you. Otherwise it was just too much for my hair. After using this a few times in a row my hair felt very dry and got oily quite quickly.

Schwarzkopf got2b anti-frizz lotion

I need to repurchase this. I have been using this on my hair for years now and I still love it. 

Rituals shower foam

This took forever to use up. I literally used this for months. You only need very little of it because it turns into a lot of foam. I did like it and the scent is something very special. I got this as a present but I am not sure I would spent that much money on it myself.

NIVEA shower gel

I think I get where all the hype comes from. The scent and texture are amazing. I feel like it takes better care of my skin then the Rituals one. I obviously used this up a lot faster than that one but I do not mind that since the NIVEA shower gel is a lot cheaper and I get to change it up more.

Balea shaving gel Blueberry Love

I always repurchase this. Balea just came out with new scents so I will probably switch it up. I still really liked this scent - and the packaging is amazing as always. 

tetesept bath pearls

I liked this one. It colored the water in bright orange but the scent was barely noticeable once the pearls dissolved. I do not think I will repurchase this simply because there are better products out there.

ebelin cotton pads & Lacura cotton pads

The ebelin cotton pads are my favorite. I only used the ones by Lacura to take of my nail polish. They are good for that but I do not like using them on my skin. They leave white fluff all over my eyes and are not a gentle as the ebelin ones.
