Giveaway!!

It's been quite a while since I did a giveaway for you, so I thought it's time again!

I wanted to buy the Remington Pearl Pro Styler for ages. It was on my Amazon wishlist for almost a year. *g* I finally decided to buy it and while it was wandering to my basket I thought, you might want it too. So I bought two!

And one of them is for you! I only got it yesterday, so I have no review for you yet, but I only heard great things about it. I could have waited, but I was too excited. *g*

How you can win - it's super easy and a little nerdy *g*:

• Be a follower
• Leave a comment telling me what super power you would love to have

The giveaway will be open for two weeks (1.9.2013 12 pm Austrian time) and is open worldwide. I can't wait to read your comments. :) 

If I could choose I would love to be able to beam around. How cool would it be to be in London or at The Times Square in the blink of an eye..

Love,

Guinevere

NOTD

Catrice L'Afrique c'est chic Haul

I know this LE has been out for quite a while now, but hauls are always fun to read/look at. :-)

I didn't get the metallic eyeshadows (so far) I'm very tempted to buy the brown one, cause the colour pay off is amazing and the shade itself truly pretty. The other ones didn't convince me that much. Some swatches:

What I did buy were the two blushes/bronzing powders:

Oh là lá, Fresh Demand

Oh lá là blended and seperate, Fresh Demand on the right side seperate and blended

I was a bit disappointed by the colour pay off, it could be better, but the beauty of the blended Oh là là made up for it.

Did you get one of the blushes?

Review: Lemony Flutter

I already talked about it once, but now I bought the full size of the incredible Lemony Flutter by Lush. 

This is the best product I've come across when you're fighting dry cuticles or feet. I have horribly dry feet and cuticles, it's a real problem.. I hate it, it just looks so ugly and like you don't take care of yourself.

With this miracle worker my dry areas get smooth and pretty over night. I usually apply it before I go to sleep and when I wake up I'm pretty again.

If you have dry areas definitely check this out, you can use it on your whole body and the lemon scent is lovely as well. If you don't like scented products, this might be too intense for you though. In this case it might be better to get a sample first. :)

Do you own it? Love it as well?

Tangle Teezer and American Food

How exciting - Tangle Teezer is available in Austria!!! Finally, lately we're catching up more and more. As you can see on this empty shelf they are very popular: *gg* I already own two of them, which you can read about here.

Another example to show how we're getting more and more international. This isn't healthy at all!! but from time to time it's still cool to get those international food products.

Doritos are the best nachos in the world and I love the Sprite Zero and the lemon Diet Coke. The special M&M's are awesome as well and they have way better popcorn in the US/UK. Honey also bought Twizzlers, nothing for us to be honest. 

We got all that stuff at the Snackshop in the 9. disctrict. I love that store!! You go inside and feel a bit like you're in the UK or US.

It's cool to see these things slowly arriving in Austria. Nevertheless, especially with the food one should be cautious, those are boms when it comes to calories.

Another famous beauty item is now available here as well, but I'll talk about it in one of my next posts. :)

Essence Gel Nails At Home

Essence released a new gel nail system. A complete kit with UV light lamp and everything. I though I show it to you:

I have gel nails and I did them myself for a while and the system is similar, but to be honest - I doubt it is as good as professional products. I think this might me a great home Shellac alternative, but nothing more. At least I wouldn't expect it.

Does any of you own it? My lovely cousin got it, I'll pick her brain about the results she got.

Review: Origins No Puffery Eye Roll On

I love Origins and they just keep making awesome products. One of their latest addition is this handy cooling roll-on for puffy eyes.

What Origins says: "Win the battle of the bags. This incredibly cooling roll on treatment with Yeast Extract instantly helps de-poufs puffs as it brightens dark circles. All while Hoelen Mushroom Extract helps calms skin to keep visible redness from settling in. Ophthalmologist tested."

I've been testing it for two weeks now and I love it. It's refreshing, cooling and moisturizing. I was surprised how moisturizing it is and one only needs tiny amounts of product. I didn't expect the cooling effect to be so amazing to be honest. *gg* You can pimp that even more when you put it in your fridge.

Another something I love about it - we all know that redness and stinging after you tweeze your brows. Most eye products burn if you apply them afterwards. This one doesn't! It cools and calms the eye area. I've been looking for an eye cream that I can use after tweezing without being heavy for ages!

Nevertheless, if you are looking for something more specific, anti-aging for example I would recommend their Plantscription eye cream. I have been using it for months now and love it as well. A review will follow soon.

All in all - another gorgeous products from my beloved Origins company. I just finished my Night-A-Mins face cream, that was a sad night.. *g*

PR-Sample - Thank you guys!

GOSH BB Skin Perfecting Kit

GOSH released some new products and I had some time to kill, so what is better then spending it testing make up.? :)

GOSH released two Skin Perfecting Kits. A light and medium one.

Swatches:

The light kit could be something for me, but for now I have enough highlighters and concealers. *gg*

GOSH Mineral Waterproof Eye Shadow Swatches

I had some time, so I though why not swatch these GOSH shadow pencils for you.

from left to right: 006, 001, 009, 007, 008, 005, 002, 004

I didn't test them on my eyes, but from what I can say they performed as promised. I took a shower with them on my arm and up until the moment when I used my shower gel they didn't move. :-)

Did you try them?

Love,

Alverde African Soul Swatches

Alverde released a new collection and from what I tested I can only say one thing: awesome job Alverde! I swatched the eyeshadows and the bronzing products. I'm sorry, but I can't recall the names of the products, but I'm sure this will do.

Some swatches:

Let's focus on the green eyeshadow on the right side which didn't convince me.

The other two are much better:

The powders: the earth powder, one bronzing stick, the two bronzinge powders and the other bronzing stick. 

I'm no fan of the bronzing sticks, they were kinda uneven, but all the other powders are amazing. I could have bought them all, but I have already so many bronzing powders at home.

You should definitely take a closer look at this collection.

Love,
Guinevere
