Best of Beauty/ Favorites of 2010!

Hey there!
I know a lot of beauty gurus already did their favorites of the year of 2010 in the last days of that year, but I decided to do that now, since the new year has started! These are my favorites of the whole year instead of only the ones for the month of December :)
I will also sometimes mention just brands, because I got to know them this year and liked them. Here we go, my favorites:

- Jesse's Girl Stuff: I placed my first order there in summer this year, and I really like their stuff! So pretty colors, and great quality!

just some of my Jesse's Girl stuff 

- The "NEW" Catrice: Catrice changed their whole nail polish line in spring of 2010, made so pretty colors, and then this fall they changed almost all of the rest of their line, and it's so good! The quality got so much better, it's amazing! Catrice is my favorite drugstore brand :)

some things from the whole great catrice stuff

- OPI nail polishes: This is another brand I discovered in 2010, and OPI is just so amazing :) Unfortunately a bit pricey in Germany, and now Coty bought it, so the polishes will probably get tested on animals :P but I still loved it this year.

just some of my OPI polishes to stand for them all

- China Glaze nail polishes: Discovered them in 2010 and immediately fell in love! So good quality and amazing colors :)

just 2 of my china glaze polishes to stand for them all

- Nivea Ideal Finish Foundation: This is actually the first foundation I ever bought, and I love it! I expected to have to look around and try different stuff until I find my favorite foundation, but I already did :) Here I wrote a review on it.  

YAY!

- Essence Eyeliner Pen: I love this one so much because it is a felt-tip liner which is so easy to use! You can create the thinnest lines that are still opaque, I love it!

love it!

- Catrice Lipstick in Ocean Sunrise from the Oceana LE: Such a pretty color, a reddish pink, which I wore a lot in summer, fall and winter! So so pretty :)

pretty pretty lip color :)

- Blush and Highlighting Products: I love it! I fell in love with cheek products in 2010, especially blush and highlighters :) Glowy cheeks all the way! :) 

just one of my favorite highlighting products

- Yves Rocher Summer Perfume "Aquarelles Vegetales": Y'all know that I love love love this perfume, I've been wearing it so often and can't get enough of it :)

yummy yummy scent <3

- Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express Mascara: This is my go-to mascara, I use it all the time and always buy a new bottle after I finished one :) Perfect mascara for me!

great stuff!

I think that's what they are, my favs for the whole year of 2010 :)
What were you're favorites? I'm sure I forgot about a lot, but I remember these the most :) You want a review of anything?
See ya,

Spotted: Rival de Loop Young - Diamond Wish LE (Again?)

Hi everyone,

I just saw the "new" Rival de Loop Young Limited Edition at my local Rossmann and I wanted to tell you about it since it confused me a little bit.

It contains baked eyeshadow palettes, lip plumpers (or glosses? I'm not sure), nail polishes and a mascara. They all have big rhinestones on the top.

And when I saw these rhinestones, I reminded me of I product I bought last year, the Rival de Loop Young Diamond Wish Mascara. I got it last winter, loved it so much because of the elastic brush and used it up in 2 months. And now, almost a year later, they release the same collection! Isn't that kinda weird? Or was it just my Rossmann who put up the Limited Edition? Please tell me, because I'm confused. I bought one mascara (It's Limited Edition, so I'm allowed to buy it ;) ), but I'm kind of unsure, because if my Rossmann still had this from last year and put it up, then it could be bad by now, right? I have no idea.

So guys, I'd like to know if you spotted this Limited Edition as well! Please tell me :)

By the way: I started a little poll about what you want to read here, and I would love it if you quickly answer it :) Please, it would be really helpful.

Until next time! :) Bye, 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

Project: Use It Up! Product 1

Hey everyone,

as you may have noticed, I'm posting a lot of hauls lately and that is starting to become a little expensive, so I decided to start a project. I called it "Use It Up!"and that's how I'll do it:

I'm trying to use up some of my prducts, mainly ones that are already used up a bit and ones that will go to waste if I don't use them up pretty soon. I set myself a limit of 10 products, but that's just for now, and I'm not allowed to buy any more stuff before I used 10 products up.

Of course, there have to be some exceptions: I'm allowed to buy stuff when it's either limited edition or it's going to be discontinued or it's something I don't get too easily, at certain stores I don't visit often, for example. This sounds a bit like cheating to me, but I think it's fine.

I'm going to write a post when I used something up, but I'm not going to write single posts about it, I'll just add a short text to a post about something different.

So, I already have something for you guys today: I used up my TheBodyShop Super Volume Mascara! I happy that it's finally finished up because lately it became too dry, but I didn't want to throw it away when there was still some product left.

I'm sorry I don't have a photo for you, but it's been raining all day so I wasn't able to take a good picture. But, whatever...

So, what do you guys think? Is it a good idea? Do you do something similar, too? Or do you think it's completely nonsense? Tell me!

Until then, xoxo, 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
