Dear readers,

a few weeks left until Christmas and this year my family and I will celebrate Christmas different than we did before. Instead of celebrating Christmas with our vietnamese community, my parents decided to celebrate it in Eindhoven, Netherlands, where my beloved godfather live. I was sad first as I know I won't celebrate Christmas with my vietnamese girls and Niclas. But I am so excited to get out of Germany for a couple of days especially when I know Niclas and I won't have a great New Year's Eve as he will have exams right after the holidays.

Back to topic, I love Christmas because of finding the perfect present for my beloved ones. I will post about my absolute favourite gifts later, but first. I got the chance to test the palettes by Makeup Revolution.



I like dark and statement looks. But I tried to try out the romantic soft look. I only use these two palettes by Makeup Revolution. It is a drug store product I never heard of. Therefore, I was really surprised about the quality.



The first product I received is the Ultra Rouge Golden Sugar Palette and I absolutely love it. The darker colours I used as contouring and bronzer. The rosé golden shimmer colours are perfectly as highlighter. I still can't believe the effect of the highlighter is almost good as my favourite highlighter by MAC Cosmetics. I don't even need to apply much to get the effect immediately.



The other palette is the Ultra 32 Eyeshadow Flawless Matte palette using for my eyelids, my brows and yes. My lips. The palette is not as exciting as the Ultra Rouge Golden Sugar Palette, but I'm still satisfied with the result. I mixed some colours to get the final colour and these colours looks perfect on my lips too. Of course I know. Never use eyeshadow palette as lip colours. It was an experiment and I ahve to admit it tastes awful. The baddest mistake was using the palette as brow colour. Even if the palette is really pigmented and the colours are amazing, it's not qualified as brow colour.

At least I have to be honest. I use my Smashbox Mascara for the end result, but really no foundation or powder at all! I for myself am really satisfied with the result and as I saw the low price for these products, I just can recommend it.
But I think I will never do a product review like this any more. It was so hard not to cheat using other products. The next review will be like always, mixed with other products and easy for me to create the look.

Dear readers,

I think one thing I always waste a lot of money is definitely Mascara. I tested a lot of brands, brushes, textures and design of different Mascaras. The more I was happy about being a product tester for the False Lash Epic Mascara by Max Factor.

Firstly, I thought about fibre lashes, as the name of this mascara is "false lash", but I was surprised by the brush of this product. The false lash effect should be made with this special brush and I was a little bit confused how it works.



The texture is simple and it smells like every other mascaras. It's not too sticky, not lumpy, and it is cleraly black. The design is also not different than others, but as I mentioned, the brush is special. The wide brush has a smaller round brush on top, which is responsible for the false lash effect. I had difficulties with handling the brush, because of the unusual form.



In conclusion, I didn't make pictures for results, because I am definitely disappointed. I smeared the mascara all over my eyes, trying to apply the mascara with the special brush. Even with instructions on the backside of the package, I coudn't figure out how it works. Maybe I am to stupid to use this mascara, but I couldn't see any effect on myself. And maybe I could figure out how it works one day.

Dear readers,

I don't know how I often already wrote about it. But I can repeat myself all over again that I'm hating winter that much. Of course, I love Christmas and the winter holidays, but every outside activity even going to college or to work is so exhausting.

So, I want to talk about one of my favourite themes T R A V E L . It's like telling old stories and in this little story, Niclas and I travelled to La Pineda y Barcelona.



And it was wonderful. The sun, the beach, the country and its culture. Firstly, we were in La Pineda. A wonderful place to stay. Sandy beach, friendly people and culinary delicacy. Even in the night La Pineda was an interesting place. Beside the beachwalk in sunset, we can admire the artist on the street with inventive paintings.

Trips and sightseeing mustn't miss on vacations, so I booked a trip on a catamaran and I bought cards for the theme park Port Aventura.

We were a little bit disappointed of the catamaran, because we expected too much. We had one of the best catamaran trips in Turunc and it's definitely not comparable. But the best part of La Pineda was definitely the theme park Port Aventura. We bought the express ticket, so we didn't need to stand in line and we could try out the main attractions.




One of the last trips was in Barcelona. As La Pineda is near Barcelona, we had to visit Barcelona as well. But no sight seeing trip as we already were in Barcelona before. But it was a little too hectic for me. I couldn't even enjoy shopping, because of lack of time I couldn't visit every shop I listed.



Spain is always a good destination for european, who doesn't really know where to travel to. It is payable even for students and you mostly have sunshine and beach.
