After-Gel-Nail-Situation

Hey guys,

I stopped getting gel nails, why?

• There were getting too expensive, at least for my current situation - no money - thanks IMATS *gg*
• I got annoyed, I tend to get annoyed by the tiniest things and this particular reason might seem especially weird - I love my Origins products so much and a ton of creme got lost under my nails and that sucked and it just hurts when they split and so on..

I still think they have a ton of advantages and are kinda gorgeous, cause they are just pretty and make the most brittle nails strong, but I wanted a break.

I didn't get them "professionally" taken off, I just let them grow out or at least tried, they broke off and so, not pretty at all.. I didn't want to get them taken off, cause I wouldn't have seen where the healthy, normal nail would start.

Long story short, this is how they look now, it's horrible.. And sorry for my cuticles..

See where my healthy/normal nail starts, crazy different right? You really see how weak the nail who had the gel on is..

Many people say their nails are weak for months, but I don't think this is an actual effect of the gel, there's just a huge difference between a gel nail and a normal nail.

I wonder how long I will survive without them.. lol Cause this is one horrible situation..

I wanted to show you this, cause, you know, knowledge is power. ;-)

Love you,
Guinevere

Müller Haul

When I read the short passage about my blog in WIENERIN magazine, I was more worried than happy. I didn't or don't want people to believe I'm a brainless shopping monster, who can't walk by a product which seems interesting. After the weekend I gotta admit that this description might be dead on after all.. *gg*

My purchase:

In my defence, all these items are justifiable..

• Got2b Rockin'it dry shampoo: I have no dry shampoo and I wanted to try one
• Essence Blossoms liquid blush: I have no liquid blush and it seems to be a cute colour
• Catrice Sun bronzing powder: a matte bronzer with is perfect for contouring, contouring is important
• Catrice Lashes to kill: I needed a new one and this has many awesome reviews
• 4 nail polishes (3 essence, 1 catrice) okay, no excuse for these.. But I mean I didn't have the exact same colours and I needed a new super-bonding base coat
• Catrice eyeshadow base: I need a new one and I have oily lids, a necessity
• Catrice liner brush, Essence blender brush: you can never have too many brushes

How good am I at finding reasons? *gg* Reviews and swatches will follow soon..

Love,
Guinevere

Review: Alverde Brushes

I bought those three last week and I also own their angled liner brush, which is released again as well. The concealer brush just looked ridiculous, so I skipped it.

I really like them. The bristles are soft and glide nicely over the face. When you open the packaging, they smell like pure plastic.. But after washing them, that's gone.

Pricewise they are good as well, I was hoping they would be cheaper, but 3-5€ for a brush is nothing compared to other companies.

My favorite of those is definitely the angled liner brush, it's just awesome!!! I absolutely love it. :-)

Will you get any?

Love,

I'm featured in a magazine!! :-)

Hey girls and boys,

About a month ago I was contacted by the magazine WIENERIN which is one of the big magazines in Austria. They wanted to do a feature in their April issue with bloggers from the world and Austria.

Naturally, I said yes. :-) I was soooo excited!!! I was sent a question paper and the request for a picture.

In the end they only featured the Austrian blogs very small, no picture or interview, and focused more on international blogs, which I think is a bit sad, cause after all it is an Austrian magazine..

Here the scans:

Find me?? *gg* It's in german. If any of you is interested enough (lol) I will translate it for you.
