LOTD / How-to make purple lips wearable

Hi everyone,
today I have my first LOTD post for you, and it means nothing but Lips Of The Day!
I did this combo because I was in the mood to wear a purple color, but I wanted to a make it daytime appropriate.

see the difference between the bottle and the lip color??

So I did these steps:
That's what you need:
- your favorite lip care / lip primer (I used Carmex)
- a nude lipstick of your choice (I used NYX Circe)
- a purple colored lipgloss (I used NYX Queen of Africa)

That's how to do it:
1. Apply either your lip balm or primer.

2. Apply your nude lipstick. You don't have to be careful or anything, the color isn't meant to look perfect, it's just the base color.

3. Add a few dots of your lipgloss to your upper and lower lip, but not everywhere.

looks funny, huh?!

4. Blend out the color by using either a lip brush or a clean lipgloss applicator. You don't want to add any more color, you just want to blend it out. Make sure you don't paint your teeth or get it outside your lip.

Also, when you wear a noticable color, make sure to reapply it after you ate something, because you don't want to run around, all funny with halft-painted lips...;)

What do you think? Is this wearable enough for you or do you prefer it more nude? I'd like to know!

Review: Carmex Lip Balm

Hello everyone,
today I have a little reivew for you guys. I guess you already read a few reviews about this product, the famous Carmex lip balm, and some of you might have already tried this out, but I still wanted to tell you my thoughts on it :)
Here we go:
Information:  
- available at Rossmann and Mueller 
- costs 1.99 Euros for 7.5 gramms of product
- should be used up within 24 months
- promises to be a long-lasting relief for dry, chapped lips
- smells like menthol, herbal and a little weird
- feels a little minty, cooling and like a lip plumer on the lips
- since it comes in a pot, it has a very creamy consistency

Positives:
+ cares the lips so so well
+ price
+ sticks to your lips for a while --> you don't have to reapply it all the time
+ easy to get
+ it isn't really visible on the lips, just provides a teeny-tiny bit of shine --> also suitable for men

Negatives:
- the scent (you might like it, though, but honestly, I don't know anyone who does)
- you need to get it on your finger to apply it and that can be gross ( I deal with it by just putting my lips into the pot ;)) 

Bottom Line: I like it a lot :) The care is so good, it's perfect :) I don't mind the scent that much, because it's gone pretty soon.


Does anyone of you own this lip balm? Do you like it?
I'll see you later!

September 2010 Favorites

Hey guys,

September's already over and now it's really getting fall - grey and rainy outside, but really cozy inside: it's time for spending the evenings in front of the TV, drinking a cup of hot tea:) I love love love this season so much

Evian facial spray - this stuff is so amazing :) it moisturizes, refreshes and cares my skin so well, and the mist is so fine. I used it several times a day, and I'm almost out of it :( I'll get a new one, though :)

TheBodyShop Born Lippy lipbalm in raspberry - I really like this lip balm, it tastes great, cares my lips and gives a nice pink shine. Definitely a fav.

Yves Rocher Aquarelles Vegetales Perfume - Y'all know that I love this scent so much - and I still do :) I used it a lot during this month.

Essence Soft Matt eyeshadow in 03 Silky Smooth - School started again for me this month and so I had to do a lot of nude looks everday and this eyeshadow was my go-to color. It's a matte chocolate brown, perfect to fill in my eyebrows, to darken up my outer corner or to simply shade my crease. This color is so convenient!

Beliance Foundation Brush - This brush is perfect to apply my foundation, I really like it!

Jesse's Girl Enamel in Garnet - This is such a perfect color for fall :) it looks very similar to Chanel Rouge Noir and I love it

p2 nail polish thinner - I had a lot of problems with too thick nail polishes this month and this one helped me a lot.

My Uggs - These aren't real Ugg Boots, but I still love them. So cute shoes :)

McDonalds Mocha Frappe - I love McDonalds Mocha Frappe so much (I kinda love everything in this post...), it tastes so amazing

So guys, these were my favs for the month of September. What were yours?

xoxo, Misch

Beauty Essentials For School

Hey everyone out there,

today I want to show you the beauty products I take to school with me. Keep in mind that these are just my beauty essentials for school, everyone finds other things necessary! I would love to see your beauty essentials for school, so if you do a blogpost about it, send me the link or just write the products in the comments!

And now, let's get started:

Essence Pure Skin Oil Control Paper Green Tea - I have oily skin which means that blotting tissues are a must for me. I especially like to use them after sports class.

Labello Lipcare Velvet Rose - It's just a basic lip balm and I always have one with me, but not always by Labello.

Manhattan ClearFace Coverstick in 76 sand - Just in case I get a pimple or my make-up fades over the day, then I would need it.

CadeaVera Compact Powder in Beige - I apply my powder after I blotted my face and this is one of my favorite pressed powders.

Black Mascara - This one is just the tiniest one I have, I always take black mascara with me.

Essence 2in1 Kajal Pencil in 01 Black & White - Black and white are the most basic colors and for eyeliner they're always useable.

Essence Volume & Gloss Lip Maximizer in 06 crazy about you - This lipgloss doesn't add a lot of color to the lips, but it adds a lot of shine and it tastes minty, and that's perfect for everyday.

Yves Rocher Watercolor Effect Blush in Corail Nude - You know I love this stuff :) A little bit of blush can change your whole appearence, and this blush is super easy to use and small enough to carry it with you everywhere.

Essence Blush Brush - It's a pretty small brush and I use it to apply the compact powder.

Isana Med Hand Sanitizer - At school there are so many people with different illnesses, so a hand sanitizer always comes in handy.

These are the products I take to school with me! Do you take more products with you? Or do you think that make-up is not necessary at school?

I'd like to know! :)

Bye, Misch

August 2010 Favorites

Hi there,

today I'm gonig to show you my August Favorites. I'll do that every month from now on at either the very end of the month or at the beginning of the next one. It's basically a blog post where I show you the products I used a lot during the month or that I loved and I also might add some none beauty-related stuff. A lot of bloggers are already doing that and I really like these kind of posts, so I decided to do it, too!

I hope you'll like it!

My favorites for the month of August are:

Rival de Loop Yound Care Mascara - I used it as a browgel and it worked really well.

Essence Eyeliner Pen - I love it so much because it's so easy to draw a thin, straight line with this.

Yves Rocher Les Plaisirs Nature Baume Nourrissan in Fraise - I used it really often because it adds some shine and a hint of color to the lips without being too much.

Essence Lipliner in 01 sof rose - It's a nice nude pink, you can even wear it on it's own.

Yves Rocher Watercolor Effect Blush in Corail Nude - Ever since I bought it I've been using this gel blush alomost every day.

China Glaze Nail Polish in Outta Bounds - It's such a pretty color and it applies perfectly.

Gossip Girl - On the picture it is the first season on dvd, but I've been loving everything about it: the books, the series, the actors, the story...

So, these were my favorites for August! What are your favorites? Did you love any of the mentioned stuff, too? I'd like to know!

Until next time, guys! xoxo, Misch

Another Haul :)

Hey guys,
so I went shopping with my friend this weekend. Since I live in a small town we decided to go to a bigger town with more stores by train. Unfortunately, I had a headache all day long and my stomach hurt, so it wasn't as much fun as I thought it would be. But we still enjoyed ourselves, although I was pretty disappointed. I didn't find any cute clothes!! :P That never happened to me before :P
By the way: I'm sorry for posting that many hauls recently, I just have some money right now from my birthday:) I'm not doing my hauls to brag about the things I can afford, I just want to show you want kind of things I like to buy. And if you want hear a bit more about certain products, feel free to tell me! I'll review it :)
So, let's get started with the haul:
I went to a dm, a H&M and a Yves Rocher and bought the following stuff:
- P2 Color Victim Nail Polish in 143 Forever. It's a nude brown tone, one of the kind that I don't really have that much in my collection. I already swatched it on my nail wheel and I like the formula.
- Alverde Gel Eyeliner in 01 Black and the Gel Eyeliner Brush. These are my first products from Alverde. I tried it today and I really like the consistency. The brush is really good, too. It's soft but at the same time very "resistant" (I don't really know how to describe it). You can draw very thin lines with the brush. I even did sports today and the eyeliner lasted all day long and it's not that hard to remove.
Alverde also has some other colors of gel eyeliner in their sortiment and I'll definitively try them out!!
- Balea Young Cleansing Makeup Wipes for combination oily skin. The wipes have a citrusy scent and they remove the makeup pretty well. You can also use these wipes for waterproof makeup.
- H&M nail polish in Sinful Senorita. It's a pink with I ton of glitter and I adore it!! I swatched it on my nail wheel and it's so awesome!! It's a holo and I think it looks like an OPI Suede color but without the matte finish!! (I do own an OPI Suede)
- Yves Rocher Flower Party Perfume and Shower Gel. I really liked the scent of this one when I tried it out, but I have to say that I'm pretty disappointed. The nice floral and fruity scent is gone super quickly and you can just smell vanilia. However, the shower gel which I got for free smells great.
- Yves Rocher Almond Lip Balm. It's my favorite lip balm ever and I just bought a backup. It's perfect!!
- Yves Rocher Box with Q-Tips, cotton balls and cotton pads in it. I got it as a present.

Sorry for the weird background on the picture, I took it at my friend's place.
So, I hope you enjoyed this post and I'll see you soon!!
Bye, Misch

A lil' haul

Hi everyone,
was you weather today as hot as it was here?? I was in the garden in a bikini all day long. The day before yesterday and yesterday I went to my local Rossmann to buy a few things. That's what I bought:
- MaxFactor False Lash Effect Mascara in black waterproof (I had a coupon code for 5 euros off when you buy two products by MaxFactor, so I used it with my sister and payed only 9 euros for the mascara in stead of 12. the other two euros off got my sister.)
- Isana Lip Balm Sun SPF 20
- Rival de Loop Young Care Mascara (I needed a new clear mascara so I bought the cheapest one I could find)
- Wet 'n' Wild Wild Shine nail polish in Magic Purple (There was a new limited edition by Wet 'n' Wild which contained 5 neon nail polishes and 5 neon eye shadows. I didn't get the chance to test the eye shadows so I can't say anything about their pigmentation. I bought this purple color cause in the bottle it looked as if it could be a semi-holo. It's a bright purple with dark purple glitter chunks in it. When I'm wearing it I'll post about it.)

That's it for my haul. Sorry for the bad quality picture, I took it with my cellphone's camera. Tomorrow starts school for me again :P
I'll see you soon <3
