Pull & Bear

A couple of weeks ago Pull & Bear opened its doors and I just had to take some pictures.

It's amazing that we finally get noticed by the cool brands and shops. I couldn't resist getting a few things*gg* which I'll show you tomorrow, but now on to the store.

Those are a bit shaky, but you get the idea. I forgot my camera..

Me an my cousin bought this crazy bag, it's so cool :-)

It's a great store and I could have bought much more. Did you check it out?

Love,

Review: MAC Brush 163

I'm a brush junkie and even though I already own a ton of brushes, I couldn't resist buying this one. I always wanted one shaped like this:

With the price tag of 45€, it definitely isn't a bargain, so how is it?

Unfortunately, I must say it isn't worth getting. At least in my opinion. It's kinda stiff, not so much that it hurts, but it makes blending quite hard. For applying a defined line of product, this one is great, but others can do that as well and blend lovely at the same time. 

Here my favorite brush for these things: MAC's 138:

It's amazing! A defined shape that you can apply the product exactly where you want it and still soft enough for effortless blending. Love it!

Comparison:

So, if you want a good contour brush, invest in the 138 and skip the flat one.

MAC Marilyn Monroe Haul

Well.. Of course I bought something. I mean a Monroe LE? One must admit that the quality of the powder products didn't win me over, it definitely was the collector in me.. I ended up getting these:

Not just the outside of the packaging is pretty..

The Hightlight powder in "Forever Marilyn", the nail polish "Flaming Rose", the lipstick "Love Goddess" and the blush "Legendary". 

Some close up. "Flaming Rose"

"Legendary", even though everybody raves about "The Perfect Cheek"

Highlight Powder "Forever Marilyn"

The beautiful "Love Goddess"

I've already seen some of the other blogger hauls, what did you get? Anything at all? Everything? gg

Review: L'Oréal Ever Pure Shampoo & Conditioner

I got these about ten days ago, right after I started testing the Lee Stafford Argan Oil series I bought in London, but I tried it anyway and it blew me away!! 

Those two are soooo awesome, I love them! 

Let's go into detail, they are sulfate free and for coloured, dry hair. My hair hasn't been dyed in a long time, but who cares. It makes it shiny and feeling lovely. That's all you can ask of a shampoo and conditioner.

Another thing that makes it my favourite is the scent. It smells soooo fresh, infused with botanical rosemary and juniper oils. It also smells minty on my opinion. It's a pleasure to use it. In addition, you don't need much product to get a lovely amount of foam. Something I need to make my hair feel cleaned. 

So, all in all: I love those two, I'm definitely gonna repurchase them. If you are looking for a new shampoo/conditioner, try these. If you like such a scent you won't regret it.

Love,
Guinevere

Inglot AMC Glosses Swatches & Review

I wanted to show you my Inglot holo glosses, which are one of their famous products. And they are simply gorgeous!

I own three of them: 

Top to bottom: 542, 543, 546

Now to the really gorgeous swatches:

Again top to bottom: 

542, 543, 546

Some excess gloss on the inside of the tube, I mean LOOK at that effect:

One has to say that the effect is muted on the lips, cause of your natural lip colour, but you can still see it a bit when you shift around and move your lips.

They are non-sticky and have a nice scent, which I don't know how to describe. *gg*

Well, I'm sure I don't need to say it after those pics, but they rock!

Got any?

Marilyn Monroe Preview Night

This is going to be short, really short.. I was exactly 20 seconds in that store and then left, cause it was so overcrowded and they had only one freaking display!!

Let's show you that insanity:

See the display down there? I had to stand on my toes and photograph over my head to get that picture..

I decided I can wait til Monday. Did you wait and get something?

Storing Medication: The Cool Way

This has nothing to do with beauty per se, nevertheless, I wanted to post it, cause it's a topic that's very important for me.

I do have several severe chronical illnesses. They are a part of me and I'm not ashamed of them.

I'm not gonna list what I have today. It's quite difficult, cause it's so much and I'm always worried that people think I just want their pity. It always ends like that, even though it's unmeant. 

I've been looking for a pill box that doesn't look like I'm 80 or in a hospital for ages. A couple of days ago I found it and I wanted to show it to you, cause it's so cool and maybe you're looking for something like that too.

Here it is:

How cool, right? A keyboard!

You can open each day seperately and there's a lot of space!

I do need to take 8 pills each day to stay "healthy", though I'll never be healthy, so let's just say alive. So, you can image that I was worried that all the pills would fit in..

And they did!! How awesome is that?!

So, here we go. The full glory. ;-)

It wasn't a bargain. It cost 9,90€, but I think it's totally worth it. If you need one as well, I bought it at the SCS, on the first floor right at the beginning next to the IKEA entrance on the left side. Pretty cool, right?

Love,
Guinevere
