Dear readers,

I love testing mascaras and I was actually surprised and happy about the package I received for about a week ago. It was the new false lash mascara by L'Oréal. I tested some false lashes mascara before and I actually never liked it. Those fibers should extend my lashes, as if I had voluminous lashes, but actually they make the lashes really clumpy.




The mascara has two sides and on each one there are different brushes. It's really cute as L'Oréal designed it with an instruction on it. One side and the first step is to brush the lashes with the brush which looks like a filled infinity symbol. Immediately after the first step, the fibers have to be applied on the lashes with the texture of brush number one.




In this mascara the fibers are pretty small and fine, and not so fuzzy as usual. I don't actually think the fibers are really effective here. For the last step I apply the first brush again to make sure everything is fixed.

One big bonus point of this mascara and why my lashes actually look long and voluminous is the fact that this mascara is waterproof. After some more applications, my lashes looks pretty long. And the fact that the fibers aren't fuzzy, the lashes aren't even clumpy.

I don't know. I wouldn't have buy this product. It works as usual mascara, but nothing special about it. And it's waterproof. I don't like to use waterproof mascara everyday, because the lashes could get easily damaged, if it's not removed correctly.

Dear readers,

I had to buy some sweater as it feels like it's getting colder. And as boohoo has everything on Sale right now plus my discount as a student I had to order loads of stuff. I'm following Ling KT for a while now, so I know, boohoo also sells makeup. I love how the liquid lipstick looks on her, so I thought why not. And surprisingly, they're cheaper than I thought and the quality is way much better than I expected.




One package includes 3 of those liquid lipsticks. I chose the nude package and actually, two of them were part of my favourite nude liquid lipsticks right now. The colour is so pigmented and matte. It dries really quickly, so applying them has to be learned. And as they are drying so quickly, they making my lips very dry, so I had to hydrate them constantly and put a basic layer of balm and healthy lip oil before applying the liquid lipsticks by boohoo. But it is so worth it! They are even waterproof and they last for hours. Even hours of clubbing and drinking.




And at least the "matte me up" lip kit was way too cute to ignore and they are perfectly as small gifts for female , so f I didn't opeit to try them out.

boohoo is really known for clothes, but it's really worth it to try out their makeup section. This is not an advertisement or a collaboration! I bought them myself, just to try them out.

Dear readers,

it was a little bit quiet around me, but honestly it wasn't because of the Christmas Season. Niclas and I couldn't really enjoy Christmas this year as we're having a lot to study. Although we celebrated Christmas very special this year as we were at my godfathers home in Eindhoven, Netherlands. As my sister spending Christmas in bars instead of having heading out of presents on Christmas Eve, we had to open our gifts at home.

I didn't wish for anything special this year. But I was glad about the presents I received. I got a lot of expensive fragrances, so I can extend my fragrance collection. I nearly change my favourite scent every year. But they are nearly the same. It has to scent flowery and sweet with a small note of fresh. And there are a few I really like.



One of my first scent was "La vie est belle" by Lancôme. More flowery than sweet. The scent of jasmine makes the scent very feminine. "Coco Mademoiselle" by Chanel is the fragrance for strong women. The scent is very oriental and powerful. It's more for women over 30 as it smells very mature. I don't use it very often, because it's matching better to my mum than to me.




"Daisy Dream" by Marc Jacobs smells very fruity and fresh. Especially for office and for college I like to use it as the scent is not too heavy. "Omnia Crystalline" by Bulgari was one of my favourite scent about a couple of years ago. It is also fruity and fresh, but I like mostly the note of fresh lotus in it. The fragrance "Black Opium" by Yves Saint Laurent is more for my sister than for me, as it is really sweet. More girly than feminine.



And my absolute favourite at the moment is "Sì" by Giorgio Armani! Very feminine and sexy. It has a flowery note of jasmine, the sweetness of vanilla and the fruity note of currants. I has the perfect combination I really like and it is not too heavy.

I hope you all had wonderful Christmas. Tomorrow Niclas and I will celebrate our 5th anniversary and I'm already planning the perfect makeup, the outfit and anything else. I am so excited.

Dear readers,

I received a package of Garnier lately to test their product. They send me the heat protection spray of the #wahreschätze series. I was skeptical about heat protection although my hair really needs heat protection. I straighten my hair nearly daily and that's why the ends of my hair is full of spliss.
The design of the bottle is very clear and simple. It's a spray bottle what is definitely a bonus. I tried out gel heat protection before, but it was sticky. As spray you could dispense the liquid easily on your hair. But actually I have very long and thick hair. I needed a lot of spray to cover up the heat protection on my hair.



I'm absolutely relieved about the contents. The heat protection spray contains oat milk and rice cream. Very healthy for your hair and even for your scalp. They're giving you the perfect care and nutrition your hair needs.



The best part is, it smells wonderful like coco blossoms in summer and the scent last for maximum 3 days. But I am a little bit disappointed by the end result. After testing it a few months now, my spliss is still there and it feels like my hair is getting drier. Maybe it is better to use it sometimes. I use it nearly after every hair wash before straighten my hair and now I have to change it immediately or having a new haircut.

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.
