New Year's Eve nails

I'm Hello!

Just wanted to show what my nails look like the very last day of the year. 


Both OPI desperately seeking sequins and haven't the foggiest

I love silver and glitter on New Year's Eve as you can see haha, I don't normally wear silver so on New Year's Eve I have to take the chance.

Empties

I love watching YouTube videos and reading blogpost about what people have used up in a month or a few months. These things I have used up over 2-3 months I would say, which might be a bit less for some people since many beauty gurus use up more than this in only a month haha.


I have used up:
- original source vanilla and raspberry shower gel
- Isana passion fruit and coconut shower gel
- Schwarzkopf schauma "fresh it up" schampoo and conditioner 
- a hairspray bought in Sweden 
- LDB peach and mandarin antiperspirant 
- neutrogena visibly clear pink grapefruit daily peeling
- two facemasks 
- batiste tropical dry schampoo 
- Victoria's Secret coconut passion body lotion 

My favourites and what I would repurchase would be the VS body lotion, neutrogena daily peeling, batiste dry schampoo, Isana shower gel and the "erdbeer & vanille" face mask

I didn't like the hair schampoo and conditioner very much, it didn't leave my hair feeling very soft so I did not like it, the hairspray was nothing special I think and the same with the antiperspirant. Also the vanilla raspberry shower gel by original source smelled very good and it was good but there are many other cheaper shower gels that I would buy for example "Isana" that costs 0,55 euro for each bottle and the same with "Balea" who have amazing scents also for 0,55 euro. 

The rest of my beauty kalendar

I'm sorry I didn't blog when I was in Sweden which means that I still have to blog about what I got in my beauty calendar the last days. I was busy spending time with my family and friends over Christmas but now I'm back in Germany and have time to blog again. An empties and Glossybox December post will be up soon. 

Anyhow, this is what I got during the last days of December 

I got a good brush for contouring, a beautiful bronzer and a beautyful lipgloss. The bronzer looks so amazing I can't wait to try it, and the lipgloss have an amazing berry pink colour. 

Next I got a nail file (which I won't really use as I only use glass files), a GORGEOUS lipstick in an amazing shade and a really good mascara for everyday use, it makes the eyelashes quite long but doesn't give them that much volume. 

And lastly I got another eyeshadow trio (which I forgot to make swatches out of), a really beautiful cream eyeshadow which I will use tomorrow for New Year's Eve. I also got this beautiful lipstick "stick" (never really know what those are called" in a colour I really like. 

I'm excited for next December now haha, I hope my bf buys me another one for next year ;)

Advents calendar days 13-15



I really like what I got in my advents calendar these three days! 

The nail polish is a nice berry pink, red colour, the lipstick a beautiful frosty pink perfect for everyday and the eyeshadow trio has really nice colours and I like all three colours and would be able to wear all of them.

Advents calendar days 10-12


I got a hair clip, a black eyeliner with green glitter and a brow brush! 

I really really like the eyeliner and the brush of it is very nice and pointy. 

I actually don't even have a brow brush either so that was very good haha! :)

Beauty calendar days 7-9


Between the 7-9th December I got these three things in my advents calendar. I really like all three of them. That kind of brush I always save and use it in the inner corner of my eye with lighter eye shadow so that my eyes look more awake. The lipgloss is a standard colour pink which looks very nice. The trio eyeshadow look very nice, the darker colours are actually quite pigmented, the lighter shade is not that pigmented.

Beauty calendar days 4-6



These things did I receive in my beauty calendar between 4th and 6th December 


I really like the lipstick, I haven't tried it on my lips yet but it looks like a very nice red. The blush is also a lovely colour but when I blend it out the colour disappears and it just leaves a sheen to it so it feels more like a highlighter and can probably be used as that as well. I really want to try it. I'm confused about what to use the brush for because it is so small but maybe I could use it to highlight, and especially for my nose or other smaller places. 

I know I said I was going to put this blogpost up yesterday but I was barely at home! First I went grocery shopping which took at least an hour and directly after that me and my bf went to the city to look in stores and eat hamburgers and in the evening we went to a friends house to drink and play some games. However, I promise that the next blogposts will go up in time and next calendar blogpost will go up on Tuesday when I have opened another three :)

December and advent

FINALLY!! I love December and everything about it, the cosy evenings, candles, food, Christmas lights, Christmas and of course the Christmas calendars! I have four calendars (3 with chocolate and one makeup and beauty calendar). The beauty calendar I will show here. I feel like it's too much to do a blog post everyday about each thing I got since it is mostly just small things. So I will show every 3rd day what I have gotten. I was planning to post this yesterday but I didn't have time as I went to the theatre.


My advent calendars and the first three things I got. I love the nail polish, it is such a pretty colour. I really wonder how the quality will be like so I will try it out soon. 

I will post what I got on the 4th, 5th and 6th tomorrow :)

November Glossybox

Yay I received my Glossybox for the month of November this week. I was super excited about it and I am not disappointed. The "theme" for this month is "Elegant Classics" and all of the products felt very luxurious and the packaging of the product is very pretty (and elegant haha).

Here is what I got:

 A test perfume from Hugo Boss (it smells sooooo good), a blush from Nicka K New York (8,95 Euro for 5 g), a nail polish from Teeez in the colour "Pearl Nova" (13,00 Euro for 7 ml), a lipstick by Bellápierre Cosmetics in the colour "Mandarina" (19,99 Euro for 3,5 g), styling mousse from Style Design (17,35 Euro for 300 ml, in the box it was 50 ml) and lastly an eye pencil from Lollipops Paris in black. I think it is called "Goodbye Moon" (14,00 Euro for 14 cm)

 Here are swatches of the blush (to the left) and the lipstick (to the right)
The nail polish looks so nice. It has gold flakes or gold glitter in it and it is perfect for autumn and winter. I will definitely try this out soon. 

I am the most excited about the lipstick, nail polish and the blush.

I am the least excited about the styling mousse because I never use it. Maybe I should try it sometime and see how I like it. I love the perfume and think it fits really good to me. The eye pencil isn't really so exciting but I will definitly try it out to see how easy it is to apply and how long it lasts.

Makeup Revolution Haul and Swatches

I found out about the brand Makeup Revolution on Instagram. I started following them and went on their online page (makeuprevolutionstore.com) and wanted to order EVERYTHING. It is so cheap and I watched youtube videos and read other people's comments about the products and everyone said how great and of a good quality it is. I made an order of some of the things and I really want to order there soon haha. I paid over Paypal and about 8-9 days after I made the order I received it. At first I was very worried because I had not gotten a confirmation email so I contacted them on their website and on their instagram but didn't receive an answer. I was worried that my order didn't go through and that I would have to reorder everything but I didn't which made me super happy haha :)

 My entire order
I ordered the "Flawless" palette and the packaging is so nice. It even shows the colours in the back.
 I LOVE that the colours in the palette have names. It makes it all so much better haha. It also have a really big mirror which is very nice.
 I also ordered the "Iconic 3" palette which is basically an exact dupe for the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette. The colours look almost identical. Makeup Revolution also makes "Iconic 1 and 2" which are dupes for Naked 1 and 2. The blue dots on the picture are the colours I've used to swatch.

 This is the "Iconic 3" palette
And the "Flawless" palette

I LOVE both palettes so much. They are super pigmented and the colours are so beautiful. I will bring the "Flawless" palette with me when I travel somewhere because it's got so many different beautiful colours and a very nice big mirror. It is also quite neat and not heavy so it barely takes any space. I have so many favourites in both palettes and I will get so much use out of both of them. The quality is amazing and the eyeshadows feel "buttery" and very nice to apply and not so "powdery". 

 From left to right: Etiquette, Cautious, Dynamic and Rivalry

I also bought four pigment. I mean, they cost about 1 euro each(!!). I have already decided that next time I make my order (there will be a next time for sure) I will buy more of these. They are SO pigmented and so nice to apply. Also I think it's a great amount that you get since with pigments you don't need to use that much product either so that's just amazing. I am so in love with all colours and will use them soon. The green is just so amazing, I mean look at it. It got gold shimmer in it, I can't get over how gorgeous it is. 

From left to right: The one, Mystify, Flashing, Reckless, Make Me Tonight and 100% Vamp

"The one" has been so talked about on Youtube and instagram and it looks so nice. They all feel amazing and not drying at all. I especially love The One, Mystify and 100% Vamp. I have to say something about the packaging as well. I think it looks so nice. I have all of them on my lipstick stand in my room and I love that the lids have the colours of the actual lipstick on them so it is so easy to see which colours I have and such. These lipsticks also costs about 1 Euro which is a bargain!! I love them :)
The last thing I got was the Makeup revolution Pro fix which is a setting spray. On the back it says "Makeup Revolution amazing setting spray is a lightweight setting spray that helps keep foundation and eye makeup in place with no smudging or fading for that just-applied look lasting up to 12 hours."

I have tried this product for when I went to my german course and I let my makeup stay on until the evening. It definitely helps to keep my makeup on my face and it doesn't make it fade away. It feels very nice on my face and dries very fast after applying it. It is definitely a product I really really like so far. I want to test it more for when I am going to parties and such to see how it lasts then. 
Makeup Revolution is definitely one of my favourite brand right now (if not even favourite). It is cheap, have amazing quality and a wide range of  makeup and products. I will definitely make an order again sometime soon. 

Have you gotten anything from Makeup Revolution yet? What do you think?
