Mega volume Miss manga mascara | Review

So today its time to open my good old friend named "Blog" again.

I do not have to tell you why I ( as a cosplay freak) I had to HAVE that mascara
I have been on the hunt for this mascara for more than 3 weeks now. It has been sold out big time in every drugstore that i have been to. There are multipe colors available in store, like a vibrant blue and a purple color. I just went for plain black.
It has a bendable brushhead which is no use in my opinion.
So I like this mascara as I like most of the Loréal ones. BUT I still prefer the Volume Million lashes excess for formular and brush which is just the best mascara that I ever used.
One more negative point is that there is too much product coming out of the tube. I like the over all outcome but if you are not a fan of big spidery lashes, this will not be the mascara for you.

Hope this was helpful :)

I wondered... | in the footssteps of carrie bradshaw

hey beautiful lovelies,

I really started thinking the other day. How far would the woman of todays everyday life go?
When I was like 13 I just finished playing with my barbies, and it was like really hard. The modern teenager has at least stated a blog or a youtube channel. Against those teenagers I really must look pathetic, my 25 year old self just found herself and her love for making videos, inspriring the world. Or at leasr try to.

I find my self heavily influenced by that tragically fictional character Carrie Bardshaw. Which woman wouldnt want ro wander the street of New York wondering about life and of course Men. That one issue that never seems to have an end. Wandering  the blocks you find magazines stuffed with the big question how to satisfie men. How to find the right ONE. What these magazines never seem so ask is how do I stay true to myself while still finding to manage the relation ship that really suits you. However this issue has come to a new level of giving advice to other people. And sadly lost teenagers really turn to those seriously misguided videos for help. And that can only have two reasons: one , nobody gives them answeres, OR they dont dare to ask.
I really have made the experience that this should all come naturally, not forced no self fullfilling prophecies.
Just enjoy yourself and the one will come along and enjoy being with YOU. Not that self illustrated lied together perfect woman. Its long overdue that everybody just needs to chill out a little. What about all that pressure? Yoga classes will still get their reason to be paied, thats what society created that stressed out jobs for.
But seriously laying all the humor aside, what remains when you laid of your clothes washed off that perfect M.A.C foundation? If he doesnt love you then, he never will.

But how can one know to chill out, if you never ever even knew that you were playing drama queen all that time? It could be all that normal picture for you, because lets face it, whats normal? yeah blurred lines ... right?

I dont say that its wrong to enhance that natural beauty from within or dressing up. Because I love doing just that. BUT I LOVED that before I even thought about men. And that my ladies, is the big difference.

This wasnt suppose to be a big  insulting post about views, that really are different from person to person and is changing constantly.

Just wanted to throw that into that big old messy pot with all those opinions
hope that it helps at least one soul on the world wide web and that you stay the way you are.

anyways

Hello my mystical friends,

I been debating wether or not I wanna go wee the Movie City of bones. I personally loved all the books and I love the actress lily collins that they chose to be clary. Nontheless there can never bee such a thing called perfect book recreation. I heard both good AND bad things about the movie, good things only coming from the side that never read the books. 

Well well that didnt stop me from reacreating this look of clary that I was inspired by Movie posters and google finds.  I hope you like the look and enjoy the video

Garnier 5 seconds perfect blur | Review and pictures

Hey my lovelies,

This blog is really lacking some love and bad ass posts so this is going to be a review of my favourite product of the month.

I have enlarged pores so I am always on the hunt for products that minimize them or make them less noticeable.

Garnier came out with this product they call the 5 seconds optimizer ( may have another name in your country). Basically you use it AFTER your moisturizer BEFORE your foundation. So it works more like a primer really. The consistency is hard to describe just picture it between a mousse and a gel. The colour is like this milky pink. ( almost like the tube)

The pricepoint is just like an ordinary BB cream from Loréal would be; here in germany it cost 12 €.

I have been using this produt the whole month of august and I am in LOVE with it. Sometimes I even use it without any BB cream or founddation over it. The finish that it gives your skin is so smooth and I really like how my skin feels afterwards.

However I thing that if you have really bad skin or larger pores than I have, that it doesnt work as good as it works on me.

I made some before and after pictures so that maybe helps you to decide if this is a product for you.
I hope this post was helpful and gives you the information that you need. Feel free to comment your favourite product of the month below.

 this is how I apply it                                                             the finished look NO FOUNDATION but blush, mascara, eyeliner

Loréal oil Magique | Review

Hey Lovelys, long time no read

This hairoil is just the most used product of this month and I have used it for about that long.

My hair type: Curly, dry, frizzy

First impression

OMG is this expensive but it looks so pretty and omg the smell is just yummi. Yes overflow for your poor readers eyes, I know, but its accurately what I thought.

Consistency

Since its an oil it would be really funny if it wasnt of an oily concistency. But its really not like olive oil or other oils like that.

Use 

You can use this multiple ways: first method is before washing as a deep conditioning treatment, then after washing and before blowdrying and then again afterwards ro give it a really satiny finish.

I use approximately 1-2 pumps for my dry ends and work them through my hair. Be careful not use so much at once, its better to repeat the process with a little amount than to have greasy results.

When you have done that your hands should not look oily at all, otherwise you have really overdone it.

It doesnt make my hair greasy at all it just give it this smooth and shiny effect that I was looking for in a hair oil.

If I am blowdrying my hair straight I put it in after I washed my hair then blow dry it and put juts a little bit more in afterwards to make it look really sleek.

On other days when I am just letting my hair dry naturally I use it only after its completely dry because otherwise I find it looks a little bit strange.

Smell: 

Its just devine I cant even describe it but everytime I use this I have to smell my hands like a complete weirdo.

Pakaging

Its a glas bottle with a little pump so its really easy to get the right dose. On the other hand it doesnt come in handy if it comes to travel luggage or carrying in your handbag because its really heavy. But it does look really pretty on my dresser

Opinion:

I am impressed with this product on so many levels that its just ridiculous. Its not cheap (8,95€) but you really only need 1-2 pumps per use and so the product will go a long way.

So far I see no reason why this should dissappoint me in the future and if you have curly frizzy hair like I have I can definately recommend it.

Little Update | Some shoutouts

 Hey my beautiful subbies

So as my of you will already have noticed is, that I started a Youtube. The really awesome thing about that was that the day after I uploaded my first video a girl named Cat contacted me and asked if I wanted to be part of this awesome facebook group "Beauty Youtubers Unite" thats full of other relatively new youtuber.

I got to know all these nice girls who not only have channels, but also Blogs of their own.

I want to mention some of them because i really like their blog or their channel. I will also link the group down below.

Cat

So of course I have to mention the " leader" of the group - her names cat and her channels called cheshire cat. Shes from the UK and has a real cute red outgrowing pixie cut. I really like her reviews so far.

http://www.youtube.com/user/TATBBlog 

http://cheshirecatchats.blogspot.co.uk/

 Stephanie

Another person that has a really vibrant personality is staphanie castorani she does awesome Makeuptutorials.

www.youtube.com/user/MyLOVEisFREEbaby

http://www.castoranibeautytherapy.com/

 Kelsey

Another one is Kelsey hancock, who is from australia. She recently did a Lime crime lipstick collection video which was awesome

 http://www.youtube.com/user/LegallyKelsey/videos?view=0

Tegan

And the last one and also my favourite, is Tegan from Kanada. We are so much alike its not even funny any more. Shes in her final weeks of university and thats also why she hasnt had that much time for her channel. I think her channel is so cute and fun and when the time comes she will make it even more awesome.
I also hope that we will become even better friends.

http://www.youtube.com/user/brighteyedlass

http://www.brighteyedlass.com

Sadly I cant mention all of those talented girls and I'm shure I havent checked out every single channel because the group is getting pretty big. Maybe I will do a regular featuring blogs of the month thing or something. (sorry tegan I "stole" that one from you ;) )

Spring/Summer Jackets and Blazer Collection 2013

Hey lovelies, 

since I have done a fall/winter post on this topic i thought a video would be much more fun.

Hope you enjoy it 

Please keep in mind that I am in no way bragging about the things that I own. I simply wanted to share something that I love and I have collected these items over a period of time. Furthermore, none of these companies have payed me anything to show them in this video.

PinkBox Birthday edition | April 2013

Hey guys,

 

There have been some amazing products in this months box.

My Coconut island Showergel 500ml
I wanted to try some of these showergels since they are new to the drugstores and I really like coconut. And all my current showergels are running out, so lucky me.
|Die habe ich schon im DM gesehen und wollte sie ausprobieren da sie neu sind und zum glück gehen alle meine Duschgele zur neige. Im gegensatz zu manch anderen mag ich wirklich gerne Kokosnuss also freu ich mich schon drauf.|

Manhatten Lipstick 54P Fullsize
Wanted to buy a pink lipstick for ages, I like the consistency the smell the color - nothing more to say. Ahh and it matte. LOVE IT.
|Ich wollte schon lange einen pinken Lippenstift haben und die von Manhatten sind immer ganz angenhem. Leichtes auftragen, Geruch ist auch lecker - mehr gibt es dazu eigentlich nicht zu sagen.|

Hansaplast Foot deodorant Travelsize
Will come in handy on my hiking trip next month.
|Wird mir viel nützen auf der wandertour nächsten Monat.|

LCN Nailpolish Fullsize
Nice color, but it goes on really splotchy, so thats a let down.
|Schöne Farbe aber beim ersten auftragen etwas komisch.|

Lush shower dough sample
I never ever go into lush because I hate people coming up to me when I just wanna have a look. Now I can try it after all. It has Funny consistency and looks like Playdoh. You can use it for hair and body - really odd, putting something green in my hair though.
|Ich geh so gut wie nie in ein Lush weil ich es nicht mag wenn einem sich Verkäufer aufdrängen und unbedingt was erzählen wollen wobei ich doch nur ein bisschen stöbern möchte. Lustige Idee eine Knete zum Waschen zu "erfinden" allerding ist es doch ein wenig merkwürdig für mich, etwas grünes in meine Haare zu schmieren. Soll für Harr und Körper geeignet sein.|

AOK sensitive face wash full size
Will give this a go because it claims to be without any pafums or parabens.
|Cool eine voll größe Waschgel ohne parfum oder parabene, werd ich definitiv ausprobieren.|

Little pink mirror
Cute for every handbag it thats where its going to go straight on ..right now.
|Wandert sofort in meine Handtasche da ich keinen habe.|

Well done Pinkbox, well done. Loving all the Items except the
 polish but thats alright dont you think?!

I also loved the magazine that came with the box (Gala style) and I would have bought it myself, if it wasnt that expensive, so thats also really awesome.

Some staples for spring | 2013

 Hey there gorgeous,

So since all that snow is hopefully gone for good Its really hard not be in a springy mood. The sun comes out more and more recently which leaves me in the mood for some action.

Standing in front of my closet I am realizing that I practically have a reasonable spring clothes collection already, so what better to do than to share it with you. I have chosen three trends that will probably come back next spring as well.

German part

Also nachdem der ganze Haufen Schnee hoffentlich nun erst mal verschwunden ist, ist es wirklich schwer nicht in Frühlingslaune zu kommen. Die Sonne kommt immer mehr zum Vorschein und ich bin voller Tatendrang. Wie ich so vor meinem Schrank stehe merke ich, dass ich eigentlich schon bestens ausgerüstet bin. Was gäb es also Schöneres als ein Paar davon mit euch zu teilen. Hier sind für euch 3 Trends die wahrscheinlich auch nächsten Frühling wieder kommen.

Pastels

 Floral print

 Monochrome

Hope you liked my little ensemble and that where ever you read this the sun benefits you with her presence.

London for just one Day | feat. Haul

 Well hey there I'm back

So last weekend I went to go shopping in the one of the most interesting cities that there are. I love the vibe that seems to float around every streetcorner down the tube stations and incredible buildings that tell magical storys if you just listen closely. If you just hold on for a second you can really feel how much this city has to tell and to give.

Without further ado here are my shopping finds from that weekend and some pictures I took along the way.
I am very pleased with all the things that I got allthough I still had to leave some amazing pieces behind.

Hannah and I spent almost the whole day on oxford street and then took a small trip to westfield shopping centre.

german part

Letzes Wochenende war ich also in London shoppen. Einer der faszinierensten Städte die es gibt in meinen Augen. Ich liebe einfach diese magische Atmosphäre die hinter jeder Straßenecke nur darauf wartet seine Besucher zu verzaubern.Wenn man nur einen Moment inne hält kann man schon fast fühlen, wie viel Geschichten diese Stadt einem erzählen kann.
Ich hab wirklich schöne Sachen gefunden muss ich sagen musste, jedoch auch ein paar zurücklassen.
Hannah und ich haben fast den ganzen Tag auf der Oxfordstreet verbracht mit einem anschließenden Abstecher zum Westfield shopping centre.

Bag: Newlook | Mug: Disney store | Leather jacket: Miss selfridge Leggings: Primark

Of course it rained the entire time through our trip because it wouldnt be london without it.

Necklace: Newlook | Earstuds: Accessoirize | Real techniques Brushes ( stippling and blush brush): Boots

London shopping trip | Bus traveling essentials

London calling girls,

Omg I am so excited because I am going to london this friday!!! Just for shopping with a dear friend and without any overnight hotel stay inns. So this will be quite a challenge since were departing on friday afternoon and getting back sonday morning. So we have to sleep on the bus for 2 nights - Totally worth it in my opinion. I will show you what I pack for this trip to make it more comfortable and cozy because it will not be the most luxurious holiday that I ever made.

Random essentials
on the bus

• Long cozy sweater and socks
• leggings
• Blanket and pillow ( mine's from Monki)
• Your favourite snacks and drinks
• different magazines to swap and a good book
• Music on your phone/ Ipod/Mp3 Player
• some games
• pen and paper for your shopping list

extras 

• extra bags for the things you will buy
• First Aid kit (Aspririn or other medications for emergencies, some plasters and bandades, antibact. hand gel
• maybe some drinks and snacks for the ride home
• passport and inscurance card

Make up bag

• Make up wipes - you dont wanna sleep in your make up!
• moisturizer and BB cream/ foundation
• Eyeliner
• 1 lippproduct of your choice
• some Blush - I am taking the me me me lip and cheek tint loving the stuff, works amazing on the skin
• Handcream

I personally dont wanna overdo it so that will have to do for me - you can just add what you think you need more or less!
I will carry all my things for my day in the city in a backpack because its just easier.
I really hope there wont be any complications since the weather is just unbarable at the moment.

I hope you found my tips somehow helpfull and feel free to add your tips to the comment section below.

Deutscher part:
Oh mein Gott ich bin sowas von aufgereget weil es endlich nach London geht am Freitag. Ich fahre nur zum shoppen hin mit einer sehr guten freundin und auch ohne Übernachtungen nur mit dem Bus - Freitags abends hin, Sonntags morgens wieder in Deutschland. Wir müssen also 2 Nächte im Bus schlafen aber sowas macht man ja schließlich nicht alle Tage. Bei der Gelegenheit dachte ich mir es wäre eine gute idee ein paar essentielle Sachen zu nennen die auf einem solchen Trip nicht fehlen sollten. Ganz nach dem Motto "bitte so angenhem wie möglich".

Im bus

• Kuschelpulli, leggings und Kuschlsocken
• Decke und Kissen
• was zu Trinken und Snacks
• Ein paar Zeitschriften zum tauschen und ein gutes Buch

Extras

• Extra tüten/ Koffer für geshoppte Sachen
• Extra Getränke für die Rückfahrt
• ein kleines Erste Hilfe-kit mit Pflastern und Tabletten für den Notfall, Antibakterielles Hand gel 

Make up Tasche

• Abschminktücher - man will ja schließlich nicht mit make up schlafen 
• Feuchtigkeitscreme und BB cream/ Make up
• Eyeliner 
• Ein Lippenprodukt und ein bisschen Rouge 
• Handcreme

(ich nehme den Me me me lips and cheeks tint mit aus meiner letzten PinkBox)
Am besten beschränkt man sich wirklich auf die essentiellen produkte da man auch bedenken muss unter welchen bedingungen man sich im Bus schminken kann.
Das sind auf jeden fall meine Mushaves ihr könnt diese durch sachen ersetzen wo ihr meint dass sie euch wichtiger sind.
Alle meine Sachen für London selber verstaue ich in einem rucksack weil es einfach angenhemer ist.
ich hoffe ich konnte euch einige nützliche tipps geben und schreibt mir doch in die kommentare was euch gefehlt hat und was eure musthaves sind.

MeMeMe Boho Balm Cheek & Lip tint | Review

Hey Lovelies,

So I really have to say I wasnt to keen on this product that came in my PinkBox last week because it didnt looked quite nice in the packaging and even the swatches on my hand didnt impress me too much. I also have to say that I am not a massive fan when it come to creamy make up because it aleays tends to go flakey on my skin or rub off quite easily.

But as I actually tried it yesterday on my cheeks and lips it looked really nice in bright daylight. The colour adds something really duey and a healthy glow to my skin. The application is not too bad as well because it doesnt dry at once so you can work with the product till it looks how you want it to. The best way for me for applying it, is with my fingers because it blends into the skin without any harsh lines.

All in all, its a very versatile product and perfect for taking with you on holidays and on an everyday base even. You can use both of the colour as blush, lip colour and even a little bit of contouring depending on your skin colour - I am natuarally very pale so that works quite well for me.

german part

Also ich muss ehrlich sagen dass mich das produkt mal so gar nicht umgehauen hat als ich es letzte woche in meiner PinkBox entdeckt habe. Ich hatte wirklich hohe erwartungen weil ich schon so viel Gutes über die Marke gehört hatte. Es sah erstens nicht wirklich spektakulär aus in der verpackung und auch die farben waren nicht wirklich meins. Ich muss jedoch auch dazu sagen dass mich Cream make up Produkte noch nie wirklich überzeigen konnten weil sie bei mir immer fleckig aussahen und nicht da blieben wo sie sein sollten.

Aber als ich es dann gesten mal auf meinem Gesicht aufgetragen habe sah es eigentlich sogar richtig gut aus im Tageslicht. Das auftragen geht auch ganz gut und man hat ein wenig Zeit um mit dem Produkt zu arbeiten bis es trocknet. Ich bin sogar ein ganz kleines bisschen begeistert weil ich diesen frischen touch mag den es meinem Teint verleiht und ich direkt gesünder aussehe irgentwie. Am besten man trägt es mit den Fingern auf, damit es sich ohne Linien mit dem Gesicht verblendet.

Alles in allem muss ich sagen dass es sich hier um ein sehr vielseitig einsetzbares Produkt handelt man kann es sowohl als Rouge und Konturieren auf den Wangen auftragen als auch beide Farben als Lippenprodukt verwenden - da ich von Natur aus schon sehr weiß bin, geht das mit der Konturfarbe ganz gut.

Pinkbox March/ März | 2013

hey guys,

Here are my first thoughts on my second month of Pinkbox experience. Hope you'll enjoy.

Aden cosmetics Liquid Eyeliner waterproof

Very intense Black Colour and very thin brush - you can never have enough eyeliner in stock, so good job for packing this in.

 Deutsch: Ziemlich intensives schwarz und sehr dünner Pinsel, und ausserdem kann man nie genug schwarzen flüssigen Eyeliner parat haben. 

Me Me Me Lips/Cheeks balm

First Item of mememe very excited to try it out, not disappointed so far - keep you updated.

 Deutsch: Erstes produkt von Me Me Me - sehr gespannt es auszuprobieren und bis jetzt noch nichts dran zu meckern - halte euch auf dem laufenden.

Me Me Me Dew pots Cream Eyeshadow

Second item of mememe - very creamy consistency but unfortunately the wrong color. I dont know wether I can pull the dark blue off, maybe I can use it for an upcoming Cosplay though.

 Deutsch: zweites Me Me Me produkt - sehr cremige Konsistenz aber leider in einem sehr dunklen Blau. Vielleicht kann es irgentwie in einem meiner kommenden Cosplays verwenden.

Emmi nail stickers

So cute with the little flowers and all. I will definately use them in spring.

 Deutsch: sehr süß mit den kleinen Blümchen, werde ich auf jeden fall im Frühling ausprobieren.

The Bodyshop Body lotion spray coconut | Holiday size

I Love the smell and the fact that you can spray it it makes it just perfect to take arround in your handbag or luggage.

 Deutsch: ich Mag den Geruch von Kokos sehr und auch die Tatsache, dass man es sprühen kann macht es für mich zum perfekten Produkt fürs Handgepäck oder Handtasche.

Magazine of the month: Laviva

  Lifestyle womans' magazines, I would never ever would have picked out myself but nevertheless enjoyed reading since I am a magazine addict. Nothing more to say about it really.

Deutsch: Lifestyle Frauen magazin, welches ich niemals selber gekauft hätte aber trotzdem gerne gelesen habe, da ich sowieso Zeitschriften Junkie bin. Ansonsten gibt es eigentlich nichts Besonderes dazu zu sagen.

Dita von Teese by Artdeco Luxurious Highlighter | First Impressions

 Hey Lovelies <3

I am so excited! The other day my mum and I went for a little shopping spree and she treated me to a product that I was eyeing for ages now but was bloody expensive (29,95€) For those who dont know who Dita von Teese is, she is Marylin Mansons' Ex wife and Burlesque dancer. Her style has always incorporated vintagey emelents. The limited edition by artdeco has been in the shops for quite a while know and all the products look really pretty in their cute little packaging, always with a touch of vintage glam. 

There is a slight resemblance to Mac's mineralized skin finish I would suggest, allthough this one has also lavender and pink elements. The consistency is really velvety and soft, high pigmented but not to over the top. I really like the glow its gives to my cheek- and browbones you can also put a little bit on the cupids bow and on the bridge of your nose. It can be used by all skin-types and gives shimmer to your face and body.

 I didnt have a highlighter in my collection, so I was even more stoked to get this special one.

I hope you liked this first impression, please comment below if you have experience with this brand or made a similar review. I always enjoy reading your comments and feedback.

XOXO Bee

german version

Hallo ihr lieben  

AHHH ich bin so aufgeregt! Ich war vor ein paar Tagen mit meiner mum shoppen und sie war super lieb und hat mir ein Beauty produkt gekauft, wodrüber ich schon eine ganze Weile immer am sabbern war, wenn ich es nur angesehen habe. Leider konnte Ich es mir aber nie kaufen weil es mit 29,95 doch etwas zu teuer war um es zu rechtfertigen. Für die, die nicht wissen wer Dita von Teese ist, sie ist die Ex Frau von Rocker Marylin Manson und auch für ihre gewagten auftritte als Burlesque Tänzerin im Martini glas bekannt. Ihr Stil ist mehr als nur ein bisschen Vintage angehaucht.

Die limitierte Edition von Artdeco ist nun schon eine ganze Weile im Handel und auch alle anderen Produkte aus der Linie sind hübsch verpackt mit einem hauch von Vintage-Glam.

Ich finde wenn man die Verpackung öffnet fällt einem sofort ein wenig die Ähnlichkeit mit den Mac Mineralized skin finishes auf, auch wenn der von Artdeco auch noch fliederfarbene und pinke elemente hat. 

Die Konsistenz ist wirklich samtig weich, hoch pigmentiert aber nicht zu aufdringlich. Bis jetzt bin ich ziemlich begeistert von dem schönen Schimmer den er meinem Gesicht gibt und da ich auch bis jetzt noch keinen Highlighter besitze, bin ich umso mehr begeistert, dass es direkt so ein Luxus-produkt ist.

Ich hoffe mal dass euch mein post gefallen hat, schreibt mir doch in die Kommentare wenn ihr auch schon Erfahrung mit der Marke oder der Limitierten Edition gemacht habt. Ich freue mich immer, wenn ich Kommentare lese oder Feedback bekomme.

Lorèal Elnett Heat protectant styling-spray; straight Hair | Review

 Hey Lovelys

(german part at the bottom)

As a curly hair girl I am always on the hunt for things that make my hair sleek soft and shiney without the greasy to much product in your hair kind of look. A couple of weeks ago i stumbled across a new product from Elnett. You all probably know Elnett because of their haisrspray. They now started a new styling spray series in three different varieties due to your hair needs. They have one for volume, straight hair, and curly hair. And what it basically is, is a frizz defense heat protectant spray to use before you style your hair. It promises to last for three days.

I chose the 3 days straight version because I already have curls. Basically i wash my hair as usual, shampoo deep conditioner you know the drill, and then when I have nearly damp hair I spray it evenly, massage it in and brush through. Then I take my round brush and blow dry. Sometimes that  is enough for me because I dont want to damage it even more that I already have. On other days I just take my flat iron and go over the strands which still have some kinks in them. It also says on the bottle, that they recommend using a flat iron after blow drying.

 Here is a little before picture of what my hair looks like when I let it airdry and not unter a cotton shirt |  Hier ist ein vorher Bild wie mein Haar aussieht wenn ich es nicht unter einem Baumwollshirt trocknen lasse.

 After Effect/ Nacher Effekt

I am really satisfied with the over all look and the softness state that it leaves my hair in. You dont really feel the product if you run your fingers through and it doesnt leave your fingers with this sticky feeling like other frizz control/heat protectant sprays do.
As all products I used so far for this matters, rainy weather really kills the effect because my hair immediately reacts to the humidity in the air.
The packaging is absolutely gorgeous and definetly a bonus for every dresser. The price in germany is about 6,45€ if I am not mistaken, not your cheapest product. But if you compare it to jhon friedas frizz relaxing serum it is only half the price. I really like that as well by the way.

I hope you found my review somewhat helpful and you enjoyed reading it.

German part / deutscher part

Hallo Ihr lieben

Als jemand der mit lockigen haaren gesegnet/ verflucht ist, bin ich immer auf der suche nach neuen produkten die mein haar glatt weich und glänzend machen ohne es fettig ausehen zu lassen . Vor ein paar wochen bin ich im drogeriemarkt über diese neue Serie von Elnett gestoßen. Viele von euch werden mit Elnett nur haarsprays verbinden und so war auch ich überrascht von dieser neuerscheinung. es gibt drei verschiedenen versionen eins für Volumen, lockiges, oder galttes haar je nach dem was man erreichen möchte. Es soll vor allem krauses Haar bändigen und hat einen integrierten Hitzeschutz bis 230°C. Ausserdem verspricht die Flasche, dass der Effekt bis zu drei Tage anhalten soll.

Ich benutze es immer folgender maßen: nachdem ich mein Haar ganz normal gewaschen habe (shammpoo, Maske) sprühe ich es gleichmäßig auf mein haar massiere es ein und bürste es durch dann lass ich es trocknen bis es nur noch feucht ist. Dann föhne ich meine Haare über eine Rundbürste trocken und wenn ich noch ein paar Knicke finde bearbeite ich sie mit dem Glätteisen. Die Beschreibung empfiehlt sogar unbedingt den letzten Schritt. ich möchte meine Haare aber nicht noch mehr belasten als ich es eh schon getan habe.

Also nun mal ein kleines Fazit; die Haare sind wirklich schön weich glätzend und glatt, man fühlt nicht dass man produkt in den Haaren hat, es ist nicht klebrig wie andere gleichartige sprays schon mal sein können.
Den Feuchtigkeits- test bei sehr hoher luftfeuchte besteht das spray jedoch nicht da fangen meine haare sofort wieder an sich in locken drehen zu wollen. Bisher hat das aber noch kein produkt geschafft was ich ausprobiert habe.

Der preis ist etwas happig mit 6,45 aber immernoch nur halb so teuer wie mein geliebtes Serum von Jhon frieda. Aber ich finde die verpackung ist richtig hübsch und sieht gut aus auf jedem Schminktisch.
Ich hoffe ihr fandet mein Review irgentwie hilfreich und gut verständlich.

PinkBox February/Februar 2013

Hello Lovelys,

First of all a little background information: The PinkBox is a monthly box subscription (12,95€/month) containing mostly full size drugstore products. These could be new releases or a bestseller at the drugstore, but its always a surprise.Also there is always a different kind of magazine as an additional goodie.
EverymonthI will show you all the products and write about what they promise to the customer via packaging  ect. I will do my best to also give a first impression.

As far as i know the pinkbox is only available in germany (correct me if I'm wrong) and I thought it would be fun to share my experience and my thoughts with both my international and german readers. You will find the german version of this post at the end.

Content:

1) Tetesept Aztec chocolatebutter bath oil - with vanilla and jojoba oil

     I love to take a bath to relax from long and cold winter days so this was an immerdiate plus when I saw    it and the chocolate smell is just heavenly. There was also a little sample sized bath oil with eukalyptus.

2) Catherine Evita Handcream - new drugstore brand and official partner of Berlins Fashion week.

     It smells really nicely and so far is quite nourishing.

3) Catherine eau de parfum No 2- small version - smells a little bit too flowery for me allthough I normally go for floral scents.

4) Indigo nail polish - silver with glittler particles. I dont quite know when I am going to wear this but I will definetly give it a go. On the packaging it claims to be long lasting , easy in application and highly pigmented.

5) BeautyUK stripey bronzer - Does anyone know this particular brand? Is it in any kind UK related, because I never heard anyone talk about it.  It really does give a nice bronzy effekt and glow to your cheekbones. You could swirl all colours together or just use them individually. This will definatly have a place in my Make up routine, I love those types of bronzers. The brightes colour also works really nice a a highlighter.

Magazine: This time they send the magazine "Wohnidee" in which you can find some really nice suggestions for home decor and cute DIY ideas regarding your home. I really like the fact that I can read a different magazine every month because on that way I try some I never would have bought on my own.

I hope you enjoyed my post and that I gave you a proper review of my first box.

Hallo ihr lieben

So nun auch noch mal für alle englisch-faulen leser, nein quatsch natürlich nicht. Ich möchte aber trotzdem niemanden auschließen mit unnötigen Sprach-barriere und deshalb habe ich mich nach langem überlegen dazu entschlossen Reviews und Pinkbox einträge auch parallel auf deutsch zu machen.

Erst einmal ein bisschen was an Hintergrund-informationen für euch. Die Pinkbox ist ein montaliches Abo für eine Box in der immer verschiedene Drogerie-produkte, meistens als volle Größe, enthalten sind. Zusätzlich dazu befindet sich immer auch eine Zeitschrift im gelieferten Paket ( Jedes mal eine andere). Ich werde euch jeden monat den Inhalt in text und Bild form präsentieren und natürlich auch meinen ersten Eindruck miteinfließen lassen.

1) Tetesept Aztekisches Kakaobutterbad mit Vanille und Jojobaöl  - ich liebe ja Bäder grade jetzt im Winter wenn man von einem anstrengenden kalten tag nach Hause kommt, gibt es nichts besseres. Deshalb bin ich auch schon ganz gespannt es zu benutzen. Der Duft ist auf jeden fall himmlisch schokoladig. Es war auch noch zusätzlich ein kleines Tütchen Erkältungs-bronchial bad dabei welches ich auch (hoffentlich nicht allzu bald) ausprobieren werde.

2) Catherine Evita Handcreme - offizieller partner der Berlin fashion week steht auf der verpackung, riechen tut sie auch ganz lecker und was ich bis jetzt erfahren hab ist sie auch sehr pflegend. Kleine Größen für die Handtasche kann man ausserdem immer gebrauchen.

3) Catherine Eau de Parfum No 2 - Ich kenne die erste Version davon zwar nicht aber der erste Schnupperversuch überzeugt mich so gar nicht, weil der Geruch ein wenig zu aufdringlich blumig ist - Und das obwohl ich eigentlich blumige düfte sehr gerne mag was Parfüms angeht.

4) Indigo nail polish - von dieser Marke habe ich noch nicht gehört, aber laut Verpackung soll er ein superleichtes deckendes Auftragen ermöglichen und sehr langanhaltend sein. Ich werde ihn auf jeden fall mal ausporbieren, obwohl ich bei der silbrigen Farbe mit Glitzerpartikeln noch nicht genau weiß wann.

5) BeautyUK stripey bronzer - hat jemand von euch schon mal von dieser Marke gehört und hat die speziell was mit Großbrittanien zu tun? Naja ich bin auf jeden fall ein totaler Fan von solchen bronzern weil man die Farben entweder einzeln auftragen kann oder miteinander vermischt. Die erste Generalprobe hat er auch schon hinter sich: er verleiht einen angenhemen Schimmer und ein wenig sommerlichen Teint wobei er nicht zu aufdringlich ist. Die hellste Farbe lässt sich wunderbar als Highlighter benutzen.

Magazin: Diesmal war das Magazin "Wohnidee" mit dabei, in dem viele schöne Ideen zu finden sind wie man seine Wohnung  mit einfach Tipps und Tricks umdekorieren kann. Hierdrin findet man die neusten Trends und auch kleine DIY-ideen zum selbermachen.
Ich hoffe ihr seid mit meinem ersten offiziellen Eintrag auf deutsch zufrieden und ich konnte euch einen kleinen Überblick verschaffen

OOTD | Going to the Movies & Little Announcement

hey lovelys,

On saturday I went to the movies with a really good friend of mine and we had so much fun. I went with a casual but in my opinion really chic outfit. I am loving H&M's loose fitted trousers at the moment. It would be very kind if you could also read my little blog update below the pictures.

Gilet: Zara |  Blouse and Pants: H&M | Necklace (Hermiones Time Turner): Christmas gift

May I have your attention please

I am taking the opportunity and  time to share some information with you, regarding my blog and future posts. After 7 month I decided to cancel my Glossybox subscribtion because I wasn't too pleased with the content anymore. Please keep in mind that these are my personal preferences, they do not count for everyone. I just have to keep in mind that as a student I have to carefully decide what to spent my money on.

 Nevertheless I thought it would be super fun to show you what kind of box subscribtions germany has to offer besides Glossybox. I myself like to watch these unboxing videos although I cannot get the birch box     (US only) or the Jolie Box (UK). The box I have ordered is called the PinkBox which only contains full size drugstore products and comes with a different magazine every time. I will make a monthly post about the content of the box and my personal opinion, both in english and in german. The details will all be in the first post.

Secondly I decided to share more german products with you guys and these posts will be in english and in german as well. I hope I didnt scare you away with these changes, as small as they are, because I am really excited. Everything else will stay the same as it is now. English will always be the number one language that I will post my entries in.

OOTD 7.2.13 | Flowery Variations

I just cant get enough of this flowerprint, I am literally obsessed with it. I find my self styling around it just so I can wear it every day but everytime a little bit different. I dont like wearing one outfit two days in a row so it was just a fun little challenge for me.

All Items (except the short blue jacket, thats from last years collection) I paired with the top are also from H&M and are available in the shops right now so if you want them, grab them.

Hope you liked this outfit post. I will do more of them since I am right in the middle of exams and these are fun and quick to do.

XOXO Bee
