MAC Viva Glam Nicky Swatches

Hey girls,

Here are the swatches to the lovely Viva Glam Nicky lipstick. I was so excited that you wanted to see them. :-)

Close up:

I know my lips are a bit dry and I know I'm not wearing make up again, but you know my no-make up face now and I think it's bearable.

If you wonder why I'm always wearing the same holey "outfit" in my lipstick photos: I immediately need to change as soon as I'm home to avoid getting new "cat holes" in my other clothes.. 

Some swatches in sunlight. The current limited edition shades look quite similar. From left to right: Viva Glam Nicky, Force of Love, Watch me Simmer:

It's such a pretty lipstick, not sure it's the perfect colour for me though. :-/

Love,
Guinevere

NOTD

Since I have pretty nails again, I'm gonna overload you with NOTD's. *g* This beauty is from the Essence collection "Crazy Good Times" in the shade "Colourbration".

Such a cool colour!!

Love,

Sárvár Haul

Well, Sárvár is not really interesting when it comes to shopping, but I found a Rossmann, which is quite cool, cause in Austria we don't have them. 

I didn't get much, just two super cute polishes from a brand named Lovely.

And here's already a NOTD *gg* It's nr. 386 and looks lovely, just as the brand says. *g*

Love,

Guinevere

Sárvár Beauty Days

I'm back! We had a great time at Sárvár. :-)

The thermal bath was great and I couldn't believe how cheap all the treatments, which had amazing quality, were. The hotel, we stayed at VitalmedHotel which is directly at the Spa, was flawless as well. Only the food wasn't up my alley.. I'm a bit picky and I don't eat meat or fish and basically all their vegetarian alternatives had fish in them..

I got two massages, a new set of gel nails (yay!!!) and a new hair cut - just cut off the split ends.

I'm sooo happy that I got gel nails again. I was so annoyed with my natural nails and now they look polished and pretty all the time AND nail polish lasts again!!!

Now to the unbelievable part *gg* I payed for the new set 29€!! Yes, 29€.. Here, in Vienna I can't get that under 50€. The quality is gorgeous, the only thing that makes them look a bit funny at the moment is that she used clear gel and now one sees my weird nails beneath it:

For the complete hair experience: wash, cut, blow drying and Wella styling products I payed 16€. No way to get that under 60€ here..

Massages were between 15-20€. :-)

All in all, we had a great time and especially the treatments were awesome. It's only 130km away from Vienna and definitely worth a day trip. I'm gonna overload you with NOTD's. *gg*

Love,

Guinevere

AFK - or Tiny Wellness Holiday

I'll be back on Tuesday night and share my impressions with you.

Cuti Clean Gel Offer

You all know I keep raving on and on about the amazing Look by Bipa Cut Clean Gel and since there is a cool offer at the moment I wanted to share it with you:

The latest issue of the Bipa Magazin is out. I really like it, they always have pretty cool make ups.

And look what I found inside:

At the moment you get 30% off of the usual price - yay! Since they still had free shipping and I love their pink packaging I ordered two online. *g*

I also got a toothpaste sample which will be great for travelling.

So if you wanna try the gel, now would be a good time, the offer is valid until the end of march.

Love,

Guinevere

Essence Marble Mania Haul

Hey girls,

The new Essence collection was released a week ago and I couldn't resist checking it out. The eyeshadows didn't capture my attention and the blush which is very hyped didn't blow me away either. Thank God. *gg*

One nail polish was very pretty and insanely pigmented and since I had a gift card I gave it a new home.

It's called "Raspberry Swirl" and looks adorable!

Gonna do some swatches soon. What did you get? Fell for the blush??

Love,
Guinevere

MAC Shop MAC, Cook MAC Event

Honestly, the guy who titled this collection should be fired.. Or get a shop at IKEA. *gg*

Yesterday was the preview night of the new MAC collections. The party was all about the huge MAC Shop, Cook collection, but the other four, yes four!, collections were available for purchase as well.

The collections:

MAC Shop, Cook:

Chenman:

The new Viva Glam lipstick and gloss:

Vera:

Too Supreme:

Quite a lot of new products.. It's crazy..

On to the event itself: I'll keep it short. In theory, it was genius. Cool outfits, lovely setup.

Nevertheless, the realization was horrible.. I love the store at Westbahnhof, but if I know that there are over 200 registrations, I just can't open only one freaking cash desk.. Besides, there just was not enough space.. 

To get the idea:

I didn't even try to get to the cash desk for the first half hour. Even after that, I still had to fight to get to the desk and don't let my claustrophobia take over.. Just ridiculous.. I don't wanna know how many products were stolen that night.

Besides cool boxes, you could receive a free gift if you were fast. There were three to choose from. A bag, rubber gloves or sponges. Luckily, I had two gift vouchers, so I was able to get the two I wanted:

While the tote bag is of minor quality (not like the bag from the Hello Kitty collection - that one was great), the gloves simply kick ass. Soooo cool. *gg*

So, what did I get? Considering that there are five new collections with about 50 products (at least) I was a really good girl. I only got four lipsticks.

"Quick Sizzle" and "Watch me Simmer" from the Cook, Shop collection. "Force of Love" from Chenman and the new "Nicki" Viva Glam lipstick. My first Viva Glam lipstick, can you believe it?? *gg*

There are amazing products in these collections, but I have so many items similar to those. I don't need them.

I'm gonna post my haul and swatches seperately, this post is long enough. :-)

If you were there, I hope you had a nice time. For my taste, it was too crowded. I would have left sooner if I would have been able to pay.

Love,

Guinevere
