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!

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!

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,
xoxo, Misch Read Full...

Review: TheBodyShop Colourglide Lip Colour

Hi everyone,

a while ago I purchased the TheBodyShop Colourglide Lip Colour in 42 Dusk Rose, and now I'm gonna tell you how I like it!

Basic Information:

The Colourglide Lip Colour comes in a typical lipstick container that is completely silver. The color name and things like that are on the bottom. It contains 4 g/ 0.14 oz. It costs 10 Euros.

Here you can find it on the website.

Consistency, Scent and Color:

The consistency is really creamy and nice. It both the scent and the consisteny remind me of beeswax, it's definitely somehting you should get used to. The color is a pinkish, reddish, brownish nude color, I don't really know how to describe it. The coverage, though, is really not that good. In my opinion, it's not really a lipstick, I think of it more as a tinted lipbalm. It's kinda like "my lips, but better".

Wear & Care:

The lipcolor is really creamy and due to that, it lasts pretty long. It doesn't get sticky, though. I already feel as if I'm wearing a lipbalm, and that's also true when it comes to the caring features of this lipstick. It makes my lips super soft and moisturize them.

Bottom Line:

I like this lipstick, but honestly, I don't really think of it as a lipstick, it's more a lipbalm. It cares my lips and that's just fine, but I think it's to expensive to just get a "my lips but better" color. If you want to spend that much money on a lipstick that isn't really one, do it, but I won't buy myself another one.

Does anyone of you own a TheBodyShop Colourglide Lip Colour? Do you like it?

As far as lipsticks are concerned, would you like to see my lipstick collection?

Until then, xoxo, Misch

My favorite lip colors for fall!

Hey guys,

in my opinion, fall (or call it autumn if you want) is THE time of the year to wear fun, bold, dark and bright lip colors! I have a few favorites and I'm going to show them to you now!

Rival de Loop Lipstick in 101 (I believe this one is discontinued; on the picture it's a bit washed out):

It's a orage-ish red matte lipstick that almost screams fall.

Rival de Loop Pure Lips Lipgloss in 016 (Don't know if this is still available):

It's a red lipgloss with silver shimmer, but it's not a dark on the lips as it is in the bottle. To me, this one is perfect for fall and winter.

Essence Eclipse Collection in 01 Lunch at Cullen's (It was Limited Edition):

A dark, red shimmery lipgloss, super opaque. I like it for night time, becuase it's really dark.

Manhattan Water Flash Lipgloss in 46D (I reviewed this one HERE):

A bright, shiny pink color, it's more of a summer color, but I think it's wearable in fall, too.

Maybelline Watershine Elixir Lipstick in Vibrant Violet (I got it on sale, so it might be discontinued):

A shimmery purple-y pink, that is more lipgloss than a lipstick. Love the color.

NYX Girls Gloss in 14 Queen of Africa:

A blue-ish purple lipgloss with shimmer, that isn't that intense on the lips, but it's still purple.

Catrice Expect the Unexpected Collection Lipstick in C03 Purposely Purple (It's Limited Edition, but available at the moment):

A crazy, but fun purple color with gold shimmer, definitely not something for every day.

What I would wear with these colors: A very neutral eye, either my neutral color pop without the color on the lower lashline or just a thin black eyeliner line and mascara. The cheeks should be very natural, too.

What to keep in mind: If you really want to rock this bright lip look, you should be careful that nothing gets onto your teeth (very bad!), that it gets outside of your lip (you might want to use a lipliner, no matter if it's a clear or a colored one) or that it fades after you had lunch (or dinner) and you run around with a half painted lip (just reapply your color after you ate something). You should also not over-do it with the rest of your make-up.

I hope you liked it! And, what are your favorite lip colors for fall? Do you love bright lips or do you wear a nude lip every day?

I'll see you soon! Bye, Misch

Essence Sun Club Haul And Some Other Stuff

Hey guys,
today I found the new limited edition by Essence at one of my local drugstores. It contains 5 nail polishes, 3 lipgloss pencils, 2 bronzers, 1 bronzing lipbalm, 4 baked eyeshadows and a bronzing shimmer spray. They're all supposed to have a light, chocolate fragrance. You can find pictures and a list of all of the pruducts at essence.com. The things I bought from this collection are:
- The lighter bronzer in 01 DE-LIGHT-FULLY DELICIOUS. It's a gold shimmery bronzer, perfect for my skin tone. The darker one was ways to dark for me. It's smells a bit like chocolate and it has the same form, as you can see one the picture. I like it.
- The bronzing lip balm in 01 IT'S SUNNY HONEY. It's not really a lip blam, but a glittery, shimmery lipgloss. It has two colors in one bottle, a pink and a gold. I really like the colors mixed together and it tastes so good, a bit like caramell and chocolate. :)
- The nail polish in 04 CHOCOLICIOUS. It's a dark warm brown and I really like it. It smells mostly like nail polish, but when it's dry you can slightly smell a chocolate scent.

I also bought Cadeavera's Peach Shaving Foam and Basic's Mineral Lipstick in 50 Pearly Apricot. And today my nail wheels arrived. I ordered clear ones from ebay and they came from Hongkong. They're really nice and I already painted some of my nail polishes on them. :)

I hope y'all had a nice day and I'll talk to you later!! :)
xoxo, Misch <3
