Review: she-stylzone "All-in-one" Mascara

Hi guys,

Today I wanna show you the mascara I'm recently using. It's great and besides that it's ridiculously affordable.

So which is it - it's from DM's own brand s-he stylezone and named "all in one volume & ultimate length mascara". Let's take a look:



It has quite a big brush, but it's not overpowering, so you make a huge mess every time you use it. Believe me I would know, I tend to make a mess. *gg*

How does it look on the eyes??



Well, hello there! Am I right?? *gg*

It lasts all day and I've been using it for months now and it still works flawless. Back to the best part besides all that - the price. It's 3,95€.

Mascaras are products that spoil after some time and need to be exchanged reguarly , so spending 40 bucks on it hurts my wallet. This one doesn't and still does a great job.

What more is there do say. :-)

Love,
Valerie

Sleek Eye & Cheek Palette "Dancing til Dusk"

I got this little baby for christmas and had to show it to you. :-) There are two palettes available and mine is named "Dancing til Dusk".


You have two blushes, a muted orange and a blue toned shimmery pink and four nice neutral brown eyeshadows. 


There's also a brush and an applicator, but I never use those. For a quick fix on the go these still might be enough though. 


Swaaaatch time. All swatched beautifully and I had no fallout.




Lovely, right? I'm really happy with this palette. My mum got it via Amazon for 12€ which I think is definitely a fair price. :)

What do you think??

Love,
Valerie

MAC News and the neverending story of our Kitchen

Hey lovelies.

Sorry for the lack of posts, again, but we're currently living a nightmare.. We've been slowly renovating our house and the kitchen is some big part that's still missing.

Last week we started and ever since we're surrounded by so much dust, it feels like you're walking on the moon.. No chance in hell to take beautiful pictures.. Except of a complete IKEA kitchen in boxes.. *gg*

Look at my two men. :)





MAC is releasing some awesome stuff in the next couple of months and I wanted to share them with you.

Let's start with the best!!! In March,we will get MAC Toledo and I'm going to be at the counter first thing in the morning.


There are no infos yet, but I've seen this on Instagram - a freaking Cinderella collection!!!!


And if you're still sitting, look at the packaging of the upcoming summer collection. Gosh I love pretty packaging..




The other upcoming releases. A few glimpses.



Futuristic and awesome. :)



MAC's Red collection is small, but still gorgeous. I'm especially excited about the red eyeshadow. I love red.



The concealer range is getting bigger and bigger. I'm definitely going to get a closer look. :)


We've all seen the pics of the latest Viva Glam duo. Hot pink, what do you want more!?


Some new liners and lipsticks are awaiting us. MAC lipsticks are famous, let's see what the new ones will bring. :)

What do you think?? What are you looking forward the most???

Love,
Valerie

NOTD

To defy that depressing weather I went for a sparkling colour - China Glaze's "Atlantis".


It's such a gorgeous shade, but sadly mine's already thicker than honey..

What are you wearing on your nails today??

Love,

GOSH 9 Shades "To Enjoy in New York" Palette Swatches

As promised I'm gonna show you swatches of the GOSH 9 Shades "To Enjoy in New York" I bought in London. :-)

Sorry for the raindrops, I went outside to take good pictures and it started raining. *gg*

They are all smooth, lovely shades. They are gorgeous and even better in real life. I hope GOSH adds the palettes to their regular collection.

Love,

GOSH 9 Shades available in Austria!!

Uuuh I was so excited when I just saw this:


The 9 Shades palettes!!! I bought one in London a couple of months ago and am so excited that they are here now. Some pictures:

"To Play With In Vegas"



"To Have Fun in LA"



and the one I own "To Enjoy in New York" 


They cost 14,99€ here which is a bit more than  the £9.99 I paid in London, but I think it's still a great deal.

I will post swatches of the New York palette tomorrow so you can get a better look at it. :)

Love,
Valerie

New Year's Blog & Beauty Resolutions

Hi guys!

It's 2015, can you believe it?! Personally, I'm quite happy to put 2014 behind me, it wasn't the best year for me and my family.

I hope you had a wonderful christmas, got a bunch of presents and celebrated the New Year in style.

Ours was relatively quiet an relaxed. :)


But now to the Blog Resolutions and what's to come:

  • I will start a new series called "Products Revisited" where I'll talk about products I have been using for a long time and give an updated opinion of them. Sometimes you change your mind about a product and I think this will be interesting and useful. :)
  • I'm gonna start posting Hairstyles and focus on Make Up Looks.
  • I will keep doing reviews and the occasional news simply because I like doing those a lot
Like so many others at the beginning of a new year I'm trying to loose weight again and in the course of that might share some workouts I'm doing and recipes I've tried, but I'm not yet completely sure how this will turn out, so no guarantees there. *g*

For now I guess that's it. :) I hope you come again and follow me on the journey through 2015.

Lots of love!
Valerie
