Glossybox October

I have finally received my first ever Glossybox. I have wanted to try it for so long so about 3 weeks ago I made an order of one Glossybox to see if I like it and it was over my expectations. I absolutely love everything I got! :)

Face mask, The body shop Vanilla brulée (50ml, 6.00 Euro), ModelCo More Brows Fibre Gel (3,5ml, 12.00 Euro), Nails Inc. Matte Top Coat (10ml, 15,20 Euro), Love Me Green Facepeeling (75ml, 9,90 Euro. I got 30ml) And Original Source Vanilla and Raspberry shower gel (250ml, 2,25 Euro)

Those are all the steps of the unpacking of the GlossyBox in October. The entire package was worth about 40 Euro which I think is amazing and I don't even count in the face mask I got. I also got 20% of the new winter collection from The Body shop and 30% from love-me-green.de

I am so excited to use all of these products! I think I am especially excited for the facepeeling and the brow gel. However, the brow gel is Medium/dark but I hope I can still make it work so it doesn't look completely crazy on me haha!

This is the german GlossyBox for October so I don't know if it is the same in other countries or if there are other products for this month for them. But I guess it is similar. I am really thinking about starting a 3 month subscription because it felt like christmas opening up the package and i was so excited to see what what in it (I seriously almost cried..that's how excited I was haha!

NOX Twilight- Sugar Plum NOTD

Hello! I am so sorry I haven't been so active but last week I was sick and the rest of the days I felt very tired and have just been laying in my bed after coming home from my language course I'm doing here in Germany. I go to a language course 4 days a week and four hours per day and I only hear German, English and I also have to talk a little bit of Spanish to some people there who doesn't speak so much English or German so it is a little bit exhausting and tiring for my head haha.

But now on to the nail polish I will show you today. I absolutely love this nail polish. It is NOX Twilight in Sugar Plum!


This is such a beautiful colour with some duochrome. However that doesn't show up as much on the nails as it does in the bottle but it still shows a little bit. It's a purple/blue shimmer and I think the name of this polish is perfect haha. I am wearing 2 coats and it covers really well. The application is also easy and usually I don't like thin brushes very much but the I like it on this one because it is somehow easier to apply than some nail polishes with thin brushes.

This would definitely be a colour I would recommend to someone who wanted to test out any polish from this brand, or to anyone who want a really deep plum/dark pinkish colour!

What is your favourite colour from this brand?

Zoya- Daul

I love the colour i have on my nails right now. It really looks like a sunset or something haha. It's absolutely gorgeous and I love it for fall!

This beauty is Zoya- Daul. I don't own many zoya nail polishes (only 4) because they are so hard to find. In Sweden they aren't available in the stores (what I know of at least) and neither here in Germany. I ordered mine online and they're not the cheapest. I love the zoya ones I have but they're not my absolute favourite brand. They're good, but not the best (Essie still takes the first place haha)

This is 3 coats. It's quite a sheer polish and you can still see the nail line after 2 coats but 3 is perfect. This is a purple/pinkish polish with gold shimmer in it. The gold shimmer in it is soooo gorgeous. It shines so nicely when the sun is out and I just love looking at my nails using this polish. If you had to buy one nail polish from Zoya I would recommend this one. It is definitely a colour that most people can wear and it's probably a colour many people really like!

Remember Me- NOTD

Hellooo! I have such an amazing nail polish to show you today. I love it soooo much and it's definitely becoming a favourite. It's the newest nail polish I bought and from the DM haul blogpost I made the other day.


P2- 622 Remember Me

This polish is definitely a sister to Essie- Fiji which is a very very light pastel pink that almost looks white. This is exactly the same but it's blue. This polish also require 2-3 layers of nail polish. I'm wearing 3 because at 2 you can still see the nail line a bit, exactly like Fiji. It was however a bit runny so nail polish floated a bit out to my cuticles but it wasn't much, you just need to be careful to not apply too much nail polish.

I love this colour, and it is so worth 1,55 Euro (I think) that it costs. I am a bit scared that this will be empty soon and I need to buy a new bottle haha.

It may not be the usual autumn nail polish colour but I think it looks great in the other three seasons because it's a bit wintery and reminds me of ice and snow and the cold air in winter. Pastels are so popular in spring and everyone wears them and pastels can't go wrong in the summer either.

Small DM Haul

Today I went in fast at DM to look for two certain things..the limited edition blushes from P2 from the "Meet Me in Venice" collection. To my dissapointment almost the entire display was sold out but my boyfriend went to ask a worker to see if they still had some blushes left and they did. I am so happy you have no idea haha. I have seen them so much on Instagram and I have been so jealous every time. I got both of them and two more things!



 The darker one is called 020- Fortune and the lighter one 010- Destiny. At first when I saw pictures of these blushes without swatches I really just wanted the darker one but when the swatches came I wanted the lighter one just as much as the dark one haha, maybe even a bit more haha. I love the golden shimmer in it and that it's not too light and bright!


The lipstick is from Essence and can always be found so it is not a limited edition. It is called 02- All You Need is Red and the nail polish is from P2 and is called 622 Remember Me. 

I have been looking for a RED lipstick that isn't turning pink on my lips that are quite pigmented alone so I really hope this lipstick doesn't turn more pinkish than just a plain red. Or else my search continues haha! Also the nail polish is very similar to Essie- Find Me An Oasis that I have been wanting so much but never bought and P2 is such a good nail polish brand with good quality and amazing price.

I can't wait to try all these things out and maybe the nail polish will go on already tonight!

3rd EVER Face Chart

Yesterday evening I was watching makeup tutorials on youtube and really felt like doing my makeup. I didn't feel like doing it on myself though since I had already washed it off haha. So I decided to do a Face Chart (in a horrible lighting)


Here I had only contoured and made the eyebrows
 
Here I had done the eyeshadow and eyeliner
 
On this step I had also added eyelashes (which still needs practising)
And here is the final

I know that I still need to practise A LOT to make it look better but this is my third ever face chart so I am definitely happy about my progress which I might show more after doing 2-3 more Face Charts. I definitely think it looks much better than my first one and in real I think it looks better than in a picture. It just looks more natural in real haha.

I do really enjoy doing Face Charts. It's a great way of relaxing an coming up with new makeup looks and I just save them in a folder and put each one in a plastic bag thing haha.

Lipstick holder

Hello! I haven't really had the time to blog and I haven't really known what to blog about. But, yesterday my lipstick holder from Amazon finally came.

It fits 24 lipsticks and I love it so much. I think it looks very good on my Alex(?) drawer from Ikea. I don't have many lipsticks but I will fill it out eventually haha :) I think it cost about 5 euro on amazon.de and I love how it increases so that I can clearly see my lipsticks when I fill it out.

NOTD- Gina Tricot 81 Alexis

I am really loving the red nail polish trend for autumn and this nail polish is one of my absolute favourite reds. I think I even wore it on christmas last year!



This is Gina Tricot (the clothing brand's own nail polish) called Alexis. I don't know in how many countries this nail polish is available since it is actually a Swedish brand but we have it here in Germany as well. I first bought this because my favourite red of all times (OPI- The show must go on) almost ran out for me and I couldn't buy it anymore and I wanted to see if this was a dupe for it which it was so I am super happy about that. I have 2 coats but 1 coat would also be fine.

The golden shimmer that you can see in the bottle isn't so visible on the nails, only slightly in some lights. But it doesn't really bother me because I still think it's a gorgeous colour!

The price for these nail polishes are (I guess) around 4 Euro each or 3 nail polishes for 9 Euro. It's like that in Sweden anyways and that's where I bought it.
