Glossybox Stars & Stripes!

I hope you had a great 4th of July!!! What better date than to take a look at the latest Glossybox - the Stars & Stripes Box.

Doesn't look bad, right?

Benefit "they're Real!" mascara

Sumita Beauty eye shadow pencil "champagne"

Nicka K New York eyeshadow primer

Bellapiere Cosmetics lipstick in "Ruby"

I would habe loved to see more "famous" items in this box, you know well-known products, but it's still a great collection of products. 

• got2b soufflé: I wanted to try this product badly, so I'm truly happy to find it in the box. I haven't tried it so far yet, but if it's good I will share my experience with you.
• Benefit They're Real mascara: I hardly need to talk about it. You all know this mascara - I reviewed it here. :)
• Nicka K eyeshadow primer: one always needs a primer, especially when one has oily lids. I didn't try it yet though.
• Bellapiere lipstick: The lipstick is very creamy and a clean red with a blue undertone. It stained my hand, so be careful.
• Sumita eyeshadow pencil: I really like this one. It lasted great and this shade is lovely. 

So, all in all, this is a diverse and gorgeous box. :) You can create an entire look with it.

What do you think? Like it?

Love,

Review: Benefit "They're Real!" Mascara

Hey guys,

I wanted to review this for quiet a while. Let's take a look.

Swatch-time. I gotta say I didn't think the mascara looked that pretty when I just saw me in the mirror. lol

Above you see two coats. Before I go into detail, I'm not a fan. It's an okay mascara, but in my opinion not worth the hype.

The mascara definitely elongates, but the more you put on the clumpier it gets. Another thing that happened and this is an absolute no-go for me -> imprints. There's nothing worse than looking in the mirror during the day and seeing those weird mascara imprints there. I hate that.

It's a pain to remove as well. So, all in all, there are better mascaras out there that are more affordable. I would give it a C.

Love,
Guinevere

Edinburgh Haul Part 2

How's your day? Hanging around? Kronos definitely is... *gg*

In my next life I wanna be my dog! *gg* Here is the second part of my Edinburgh haul. Some pretty awesome items!

Let's go! I'm gonna start with my absolute favorite. The Anastasia Brow Wiz. I'm absolutely in love, the review will follow soon!!

A mini-size of "They're Real!" by Benefit:

The new Barry M Natural Glow palette:

I also got the Barry M LE polish:

Of course I had to add something to my Real Techniques collection:

Aaaand the item that was hardest to get. I had to look in three countries, three! to find it. 

It never arrived in Vienna, was sold out in Edinburgh and only available the second time I was at the airport in Amsterdam, but hell yeah I got it! *gg*

The one thing I didn't get to my utter disappointment was the UD Naked 3 palette.. Sold out everywhere!

Hope you liked my haul. :) I'm excited to see if all the products are worth their money. 

Love,

Guinevere
