Colours of the Rainbow Tag

Hey there,

you have probably seen this tag so often by now, that you don´t even want to read this. But I really like to see all these products for a specific colour. Sometimes I wouldn´t even think of the products that some blogger feature in their posts. So today, I´d like to show you my version and products. Let´s get started.

Red:

Mac "Russian Red": This is most probably my most loved lipstick ever. I love the matte finish and the colour is simply amazing. 

Orange:

Loreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil: Here in England, the lenght of my hair turned really dry and frizzy. Since I´m using this oil, they are smooth and soft again. Additionally, it protects the hair from heat (blow dryer) and it smells delicious.

Yellow:

Burts Bees Lemon Lime Lip Gloss: This is literally the only "yellow" product I own. I don´t really use it as a lip gloss, as it moisturizes the lips very well, so it is more of a lip balm. There is just one huge problem. It stinks! But I use it every night, before I go to bed, and the next morning my lips are really smooth.

Green:

Mac "Humid": A really nice green, which is beautiful on the lid or in the crease. Unfortunately, I´m not using it too often. I should really use it more! The quality is good, as usual for Mac.

Purple:

UDPP "original": Okay, I admit it. I´m cheating on this one. But I have no other product, which is a pure purple.  All the rest of my "purple" products, are more greyish or blue. But the UDPP is a really good base and I will definitely repurchase it if mine is empty.

Blue:

OPI "Unfor-greta-bly blue": Such a stunning blue! I love it. I don´t really like blue on my nails, but this one is absolutely beautiful. I can´t stop wearing it. Two layers are enough and it lasts for up to 6 days on my nails. And the name is awesome, too.

Pink:

Topshop Cream Blush "Flush": Actually, it is a bit brighter than it is on the picture. I already featured it in my Top 5 Blushes post. It is just so easy to work with and gives such a nice colour to the cheeks.

Multicoloured:

Sleek Palette "Sparkle 2": Oh dear, I´m not really a sucker for multicoloured things and most of the time they just don´t attract me, as I wouldn´t use half of the colours. This is the only multicoloured item I have and yes, it consists of 7 dark colours and 4 light ones. Can you actually call this multicoloured?

So these were my products. What would you choose for the colours? Can I call this palette multicoloured?

Lots of love

June Haul

Hey there,

I finally ended my "don´t buy make up"-phase. Actually, I thought I would buy a lot more after 2 months without buying make up. I´m quite proud! But now I´d like to show you my little haul with all the make up products I bought in June.

Just a few pics.

Opi "Greenwhich Village" and "Italian Love Affair": These two were a really lucky pic. I bought them in an outlet store for just 4 pounds each, because they have the wrong names on the label, but I went into Sallys and looked them up. So that was no problem at all.

Loreal Confetti Topcoat: Oh, I wanted this one for ages and it was the reason why I finally bought make up again. Always sold out, I just had to buy it when I finally found it. There´s going to be a NOTD with it online soon.

right: "Greenwhich Village" - bright grass green, 2 layers

Model Co Fibre Lashextend: This was a gimmick with the latest Glamour. I always buy the Glamour and I would never purchase the mascara itself. Yes, it gives an amazing length, but no volume at all. If you need length, then this might be the mascara for you. I´m more the volume girl, so this is not the best for me.

Sleek "Life´s a peach": This is my first Sleek blush, which is not a limited edition. I have to admit, I´m so in love with it. The pigmentation is amazing and it gives you a natural look. It can also be layered for a more excentric look.

Revlon Lip Butter "Sorbet": One of the new shades, it caught my eye. The quality is as good as the other lip butters and yes, I´m an addict! The colour is a juicy pink, with hints of blue. On the lips, it looks really fresh and summery and, because of the blue hints in it, it makes the teeth look whiter.

Clarins Ecalt Minute Lip Perfector 01: I´ve seen it used by the lovely Reni and yes, that´s the reason why I bought it. And I´m very happy I did. It is a little bit pricey (about 17pounds for 12(!)ml), but the effect it amazing. The lips feel soft, moist and look simply amazing. When I wore a drying lipstick, I just use that one the day after and my lips are all good again. And the smell, a dream!

These were my purchases in June. I really love every single bit (except the mascara, but I didn´t really buy it) and I don´t regret buying any of them. Have you purchased one of these recently? How do you like the new Revlon Lip Butter shades?

Lots of Love

Top 5 Tuesday : Nail Varnishes

Hey there :)

Here comes part 2 of my Top 5 Tuesday. Today I´d like to show you my current favourite nail varnishes.

As you can see, I don´t mind dark colours in spring, especially with this weather...

Essie is one of my favourite nail varnishes brands and Essie´s Fiji (left) and Mint Candy Apple (right) are perfect for the spring/summer, well, if the sun should show up again. Both have a very good quality and are not limited.

OPI is another love of mine. These two shades are really nice when the sun is hiding. Unfor-greta-bly Blue (left) is a midnight blue with a metallic finish. The One that Got Away (right) was in the Katy Perry collection and at its time very popular. Oh well, what shall I say? I still love it!

This last nail varnish is by Kiko (220) and actually a top coat. It gives a very fine, shimmery finish, so it doesn´t look too much. Unfortunately, I don´t have a picture, but if you are interested, I´m hapy to upload a post about the nail varnish.

What are your current favs? Do you refuse to wear winter colours or do you wear whatever you just feel like?

Lots of love xx

I´m under the wizards spell

Hey there :)

A couple of weeks ago OPI came up with a limited edition for the film "Oz The Great And Powerful". Of course I had to buy them, not just because of the design but for the lovely nude shades.

Here all the colours. The quality here is different with every nail varnish. Two of them are absolutely amazing and I´m really in love with them. The other two are not as expected and a bit dissappointing.

I Theodora You - sheer pink

I´m amazed! The quality is amazing. It is very long-lasting and after two layers is nothing of the original nail colour left. One of my favourites!

Don´t Burst my bubble - white/nude

After 4 layers was my nail still shining through. It took ages to dry and after my boyfriend told me: "Uh, can you not paint your nails? They look horrible!", was it even clear to me, that this is definetely not a nail varnish for me. 

Glints of Linda - beige/nude

With 3 layers everything is fine, but the colour looks too much like my actual nail. The only thing that happens is that the white tips get covered up. Some might like how it looks, but I´m not a big fan. If the colours was a bit darker, I would love it!

What wizardry is this? - taupe with textured matt sheen

Oh, I am in love. The colour changes between green, taupe, brown and gold. The texture is not to rough and  easy to remove with normal cotton pads and nail varnish remover. OPI, I have to admit, well done!

I bought it because of the nude shades, but in the end I only liked one of them. I´m not too happy with the nude shades, except "Don´t burst my bubble", but I really love "What wizardry is this?". All in all is this set ok, but I wouldn´t recommend it, if you want to purchase it for the nude shades.

Do you have this set? How do you like the nude shades? Or do you have any of the other colours?

Lots of love xx
