LOTD Febuary 20th: Manhattan waterflash lipgoss

Hey there!
I have another LOTD post for you. I'm wearing the waterflash lipgloss in 46D by Manhattan that I already reviewed here *click*. It's a very bright pink and I used it very lightly so it'd be wearable. I did just the same technique I did here *click*, when I made a purple gloss wearable. I basically put a nude lipstick underneath it :)(it's NYX round lipstick in circe) and then applied the lipgloss lightly. 

I still like the gloss as much as I did back then when I did the review, so that's great. I also did a full lip with the bright color, just for comparison. 
Do you like that color? Or is it too summery for you, so you don't wear it now??
I'll see you soon!

Spotted + Haul: Current LEs: Catrice etc.

Hi there! 
I just lately saw some LEs at the drugstore, and I bought a few things. First of the ones that I didn't buy things from:
Manhattan - London Calling

Alverde - My Perfect Day

Essence - I Love Berlin

I'm not gonna say anything anymore about these, if you want to know more about them, click the names and you'll see the products on Pinkmelon.de (except for the Alverde one)!


Now the ones I bought stuff from:
p2 - Make Up Parade
A cute little LE that didn't get that many good reviews from other bloggers, and I got the only thing that really interested me: the silver glitter polish top coat. It's called 01 groovy finish and a sheer polish with glitter particles and glitter sticks that is mainly meant as a top coat. It's not really meant to be opaque. But I like it :)

Catrice - Floralista (click for pics on pinkmelon)
A really nice floral-themed LE that didn't seem that interesting to me at first. But when I saw it in real life, I liked it a lot :) It contained a lot of pretty stuff, and if I had more money I'd gotten more stuff ;) Take a look at it, it's pretty :) I got 2 polishes and the blush.
The blush 01 As Lively As Ever contains two colors, a coral and a pink. 
The design is really cute with the flowers :) The colors are matte and pretty bright. The blush is pretty pigmented, but you can apply it naturally. I can't really say that the colors are big enough to use them separately, but that depends on which brush you use. I prefer to use them mixed together, as one coral pink color. It lasts pretty long, but fades a little during the day.
The nail polishes I bought are in the colors C01 Pink Spring and C03 lavender breeze.
left: C01; right: C03
CO1 is a pretty bright pinkish purple shade, I like it a lot :) 
it's too pale in this pic :P
this pic shows the color perfectly
It's a nice spring color to me, and I immediately have to wear it! It's opaque with two coats, really cool. It's a creme polish, and not really that unique, but I still like it a lot! Weirdly enough, I didn't own a color like this before. Why?? I have no idea, it's pretty <3
C03 is a light light light pale lavender color that looks mainly white in the bottle.

to see the difference: above a true white (Essence Stampy Polish) and underneath Catrice - C03. You can tell the light lavender hint!
It's a creme polish, and surprisingly opaque with 2 coats. I expected it to be way more sheer because it's such a pale color, but it's pretty opaque! I like the color, because a polish that is that pale is not very common. You can mainly tell the lavender hint in it by comparing the polish to a true white.  


I like these things a lot :) What did you get from these LEs??

Valentine's Series: EOTD #1

Hi there!
This is my first Valentine's Day eye look :) It's a pink look with a little bit of brown. When you do pink looks, keep in mind that it can make you look tired and crying easily, so don't overdo it.
That's what you need: 
- an eyeshadow base of your choice (I used the one by RdLY)
- a bright pink eyeshadow (I used one from an old duo by Essence, it was LE)
- a light shimmery pink color (I used a discontinued eyeshadown by the Manhattan MyBox Series)
- a cranberry eyeshadow (I used Spiced Red by Catrice from the Carame LE; it's a dupe for MAC cranberry)
- a shimmery brown color (I used the one from the mocca beige duo by RdL)
- a champagne color (I used the one from the mocca beige duo by RdL)
- a brown pencil liner (I used the p2 perfect look kajal in brown)
- black mascara (I used the diamond wish one by RdLY)

That's how to do it:
1. Apply an eyeshadow base of your choice all over your lid to prevent creasing.
2. Add the bright pink color to the center of your lid.
3. Apply your light pink shimmer color to the inner thrid of your lid.
4. Now slightly apply the cranberry color onto your v-area. You don't want to make it too vibrant, it should just give a nice red undertone for the following color.
5. Pick up your brown shimmery color and apply it to your crease. It should go over the cranberry color. Blend it out towards your brow. Also add a tiny bit of this color on the outer third of your lower lashline.
6. Add the champagne color to your brow bone and your inner corner to brighten your eye.
7. Line your top lashline and 2 thirds of your waterline with the brown eyepencil.
8. Add mascara to both your top and bottom lashes.

And that's it! I like it, because it uses pink, the go-to valentine color, but still doesn't make you look weird. What are you gonna wear on Valentine's Day?? I'll do some more looks, so you'll get inspired ;)

Review: Manhattan Soft Mat Lip Cream

Hi guys!
As you might know from this haul post in November, I got the Lip Cream from Manhattan and now I want to tell you what I think of it :)

Information:
- available at any drugstore where you can get Manhattan cosmetics
- costs something between 3 and 4.50 Euros, depending on where you get it (it's most inexpensive at Rossmann), for 6.5 ml
- available in 6 different colors, the one I got is in 56K
- the color looks like a brownish pink in the package, but it's a blue-ish bright pink on the lips
- promises to have a velvety-matte finish, to give a soft feeling to the lips and to be really pigmented

here you can tell how it enhances my little lip wrinkles
Positives:
+ pretty color
+ price
+ easy to get
+ lasts for hours and hours - I apply it at 7 a.m. and when I get home at noon it's still there, just a little faded
+ has a matte finish, which isn't usual for lipglosses
+ smells yummyly like vanilla
+ has a nice, light and almost not noticeable feeling on the lips

Negatives:
- when your lips are chapped, this one easily makes them look gross, because it enhances your little lip wrinkles
- the color isn't as natural as it looks in the bottle
(- you might not like the matte look)

Bottom Line: I like it a lot :) The color is nice, and there are more available, so I might get another one. And the wear is so good :)

I'm sorry that the pictures are that bad, but this post was pre-blogged, so I made the pictures with my old camera...:P

Do you own this one as well? Or a different color?
Until next time!

NOTD December 15th: Reindeer Glitter Nail Art + Spotted

Hey everyone!
Today I'm wearing a Christmas Nail Art design and I thought you might like it! :)


That's what you need:
- a base coat of your choice (mine is the Essence Pro White French)
- a white color to do the french tip (I used the Essence Stampy polish)
- nail stickers with a christmas design (mine are reindeer designs, and I got these from Essence's last year's christmas collection)
- a glittery with a clear base (I used the pink glitter polish from one of RdLY LE, forgot the name of it, sorry :P but it's from this season. the color is called o1 glamour pink. The glitter in it is round and pink, but flashes rainbow-colored in the sunlight)
- a top coat of you choice (I used the Essence Sealing top coat)


That's how to do it:
1. Paint your nails with your base coat.
2. Do a white french tip, I did mine free-hand, but you can use some guides as a help. The ones I created are pretty straight, but you can do yours curvy if you like to :)
3. Paint one coat of the glitter polish over your whole nails.
4. Put a nail sticker (in my case a reindeer) on every of you nail and press it in.
5. Go over the whole nail with your glitter polish again. It shouldn't be covered with the glitter, though, just some little dots, like snowflakes!
5. Seal the design with yout top coat.


This is so easy to create, you don't have to be really good at nail art for this, but it's still pretty :) I hope you like it!
just to show you the sparkle of it :)


I also was at the drugstore and spotted some LEs :) Of course I bought something, but that post will be up tomorrow. Here are just the pictures:

Alverde My Best Friend LE

Manhattan Party Glam LE

MNY I am an iced angel LE


See ya,

Spotted: Essence, Catrice and Manhattan :)

Hey there,
this is just a very quick post to show you the new Limited Editions out there, today I'm not doing a over all thoughts review kinda thing, because I'm kinda in a rush. These are the LEs:

Essence Fairytale LE:

really cute design, pretty nice products, good idea behind it. The polishes are all really pretty, definitely take a look at them!
I bought two nail polishes, 02 pixie dust and 05 tinka's dress.

Catrice Glamourama LE:

nice colors, especially for the holiday season and new year's eve, but nothing that special or interesing. I bought nothing because I already own similar stuff. Here you can find the products on Pinkmelon.

Manhattan Diamonds are a girls... LE:

okay, not too different from normal things, the polishes are pretty. I bought nothing.
This one isn't available on Pinkmelon, sorry.

Did you spot any of these LE as well? What did you buy?
