Sebamed Lime Shower Gel

Hey guys,

Having a nice weekend?

Yesterday, I had an English exam and it went quite well. What a gorgeous feeling! So, today is blogging day!!

Let's start with this nice shower gel by Sebamed. The weather in Vienna is insane right now. It's so hot that I shower about 5 times a day. I hate feeling sweaty and I wish more people would feel like that..

I never tried one of their shower gels, but it smells fresh and nice. Something I need when it's hot outside, lime is just the right scent for that. Aaand it doesn't dry out my skin. What more does one want? :-)

If you got curious, better be fast, it's limited edition.

Love,
Guinevere

Review & Swatches Wedding Glossybox

Beware; This is a loooong and picture-heavy post. *gg*

Most of you already know that I'll get married in July, so when I saw the newsletter about an upcoming Wedding Glossybox I couldn't be more excited. What an awesome timing.

It costs 25€ including 6 full size items worth 100€. So let's get right to it. :-)

The pretty packaging, I loooove pretty packaging:

The ribbon is full of "yes" in different languages:

 and the box is filled with cute plastic rose petals

Now to the content :-) Edit: Apparently, the items in the box differ quite a lot. 

Naobay Body Lotion

Model co Lip Duo

Swatch-time:

Emite Make Up Sponges:

The Glossybox exclusive beautybird nail polish in "Yes, I do"

Swatch:

Babor lip pencil in "Orange"

bellápierre volumizing mascara

Overall, a pretty neat box. All the products are of great quality and they are definitely useful when it comes to a wedding day. 

Some thoughts:

I was surprised to see no familar brand in the box. Personally, if it comes to an important day I wanna use brands I know.

I found it a bit sad that the Model co lip duo and the Barbor liner didn't match. Kinda defeats the purpose of it. The lipstick is smooth and soft, but too brown for me. 

I haven't used the mascara yet, so I can't say anything about it for now.

The nail polish is the PERFECT wedding shade and sponges are always handy. The scent of the body lotion isn't really my thing, but a good idea nonetheless.

In my opinion, this is an amazing gift idea for your bridesmaids. The perfect idea, I should have gone with that.. *g* For me, as the future bride, only half of the products will be useful on my wedding day. I had hoped it would be more. 

Currently, the Wedding Glossybox is sold out, but it will come back. :-) So to all future brides, here is the perfect gift for your bridesmaids.

Love,

Guinevere

MAC LE's June

Morning guys,

I'm so sorry that I neglected you, but this and next week are exam days at University and I'm drowning in exams, portfolios and oral exams. On 28th June it will be over, I can't stress enough how I'm looking forward to that..

Nevertheless, I quickly wanted to share MAC's current LE's with you. Besides the lovely "In Extra Dimension" which I wish I could buy every blush and skinfinish from:

Mac will release the new Rihanna Riri collection. It will be sold exclusivley online beginning tomorrow. 

The LE consists of five gorgeous items:

Bronze and Blush Duo "Hibiscus Kiss"

Three lipsticks:

"Heaux"

"Riri Boy"

"Riri Woo"

and Lustre Drops in "Barbados Girl"

If I could I'd buy everything except the lustre drops, which I already own, but sadly Mama's broke.

I must admit I don't like these online exclusive collections. I never seem to be quick enough to get the products I want and I prefer to be able to test and see the products in real life before buying.

Will you try to get something? What exactly?

Love,

Guinevere

Review: Garnier 5sek Retuschierer/5sec Perfect Blur Primer

Hey guys,

Today, I have something reeeaaalllyyy cool for you. The Garnier 5sec Perfect Blur Primer. 

This is a completely new hybrid product. It's not a foundation or moisturizer and it's more than a primer. 

This cream or fluffy thingy is a skin smoother. A primer that just after 5 seconds perfects your complexion and blurs out wrinkles, imperfections, large pores and shine. 

To make it clear: it gets rid of the appearance, nothing more, but still - how cool is that!

I must admit when I got it I was sure there must be something wrong with it. The texture reminded me of an expired make up product. I mean look at that weird texture: *gg*

But no, that's the way the product is. It doesn't have a scent either. You're supposed to put it on after you moisturized your face. Now let's show you some proof.

Before:

Luckily, I don't have many wrinkles yet, but I have this horrible lines between my brows and some tiny lines under my eyes:

After I applied it and waited the five seconds:

Can you believe that result? It's incredible! I applied foundation afterwards and it went on smoother and easier as well.

I can't state enough how pleased and surprised I was by that result. It's crazy. I love and totally recommend it. Gonna wear that on my wedding day!

Now to the best part: If you live in Austria, you have the chance to get it for free! Today Garnier will be at the SCS at 14:00 in front of the New Yorker store and tomorrow in Salzburg in the Europark at 13:00 in front of S'Oliver. If you have time, get there and get yourself one!

If you buy/get or already have it, let me know if you're as happy with it as I am.

Love,
Guinevere

Essie Summer Collection 2013

This year essie is blessing us with one awesome collection after the other. Soon the next LE will hit our shelves. In July, we'll have the pleasure to see six new colours.

Six colourful shades await us:

naughty nautical
the more the merrier
sunday funday
 full steam ahead

the girls are out
rock the boat

I had the pleasure to test "rock the boat":

It reminded me of Illamasqua's Raindrops, but after looking at it - not so similar anymore.

Essie's "rock the boat" is more opaque and blue. Not as watery. I really love it.

I'm sure I'll get more polishes of this summer collection. It's quite unusual to see so many pastel shades, but it fits this summer. *g*

In addition, there will be a mini-set with three of the six shades available - naughty nautical, sunday funday, full steam ahead:

So, what do you think? Looking forward to it? I definitely am.

Love,
Guinevere
