Clarisonic arrived in Vienna!!

We're really catching up lately! 

After years of being available all over the world, the famous Clarisonic is now available in Austria. Exclusively at Douglas. I was at the Viennese flagship store and took some photos for you. :)

There are two versions available. The Mia 2 and the Plus which has additionally to the face brush a body brush

What I love is that they have all the brush heads:

I own the Clarisonic Mia. I posted twice about it after I got it *here*, which was in January 2010. How time flies by.. After more than three years it still works like it's brand new! If you're interested in an updated review, let me know!

The Clarisonic is an amazing product that can truly improve your complexion. The prize is steep though. The Mia 2 costs 149€ and the Plus costs 225€. Not a bargain, but it will last you forever. I can vouch for that.

I'm really happy we finally have it, especially the brush heads. :-)

Do you own a Clarisonic? Will you get one?

Review: Burgit Footcare Anti-Callus Gel

Especially, in summer having pretty feet is important. Sadly, mine are constantly a mess.. I have really dry feet and a constant issue with calluses. I hate it, so I try what I can to reduce those problem areas.

Burgit just released a new anti-callus gel that's supposed to dissolve hard skin in just 10 minutes. After that you can scrape off the excess skin. - At least that is what they advertise on the packaging. 

I'll keep it short - it doesn't work at all.. Let's take a look at it and go into more detail:

I was sooo hopeful, but it just doesn't do anything. On top of that it's really aggressive and harsh. I had a small cut on my heel and it burned like crazy. I didn't even try it on my cuticles. Too risky..

So, long story short, don't buy it. It's a complete waste of money. :-( Better invest your money in a good pedicure.

Do you have a holy grail product that makes your feet pretty?

Love,
Guinevere

Glossybox Sunkissed

Well, this comes really late, but it's all her fault:

My parents dog, which I had for 14 days now. Don't let her cuteness fool you.. I love her, but she's a pain in the a**.

Now on to prettier things. The current Glossybox.

Full of amazing summer items:

from left to right:

got2b Oh-la-la argain oil styling spray, The Body Shop Natural Lip Roll On Orange, Anatomicals Facial Spritz, Clarins Rouge Eclat in Woodrose, Jelly Pong Pong 2-in-1 eyeliner & shadow:

The Facial Spritz from Anatomicals smells lovely and is perfect for summer. I always forget to take them with me though.. *g*

The Roll-On in Orange from The Body Shop feels really comfortable and non-sticky. It's great for a fresh, but still sublte glossy look that moisturizes as well. Nevertheless, it doesn't last long on my lips.

Now let's take a closer look at that pretty lipstick by Clarins: 

I haven't tried it so far, but here's a swatch of the Jelly Pong Pong eyeliner: 

I'm truly excited about got2b styling spray, I wanted to buy it for ages. I'll review it soon.

Besides the box, there was the Glossy magazine and a Zalando and Bobbi Brown voucher. :)

I think it's safe to say this is one gorgeous Glossybox. Lately, they always pack their boxes with cool stuff. :-) I can't wait to get the next one.

Review: Maybelline Jade Big Eyes Mascara

I'm a fan of short and simple reviews. So here is another one: Maybelline released a new mascara and it's one gorgeous product!

It has two side, one for the upper lashes and one for the lower ones.

Upper Lasher:

Lower Lashes:

Let's check out the results:

I think the pictures say it all. It's an awesome mascara that seperates, lenghtens and lasts all day. I'm a real fan! :-)

By the way, today is your last chance to win a Remington styler! :-) Just click on the link on the right-hand side.

mymuesli

Lately, I've been so overwhelmed with everything that I stopped watching what I put in my body. Not good! 

What I always hear is that breakfast is important. Sadly, I rarely find time to eat in the morning, but especially the right cereals can give you the perfect start and energy for your day. So I was told. *g* 

I went looking for some healthy cereals, but it was way more difficult than I thought. All the cereals you can buy are full of sugar. After seeing a docu a few weeks ago about the company mymuesli who does custom-mixed cereals I decided to order some from them.

You can mix your own muesli and gosh there are hundreds of possibilites. I decided to go for some already-mixed ones. I ordered the:

Fit For Fun Low Fat Muesli, Kickstart Muesli Woman and the Himbirchler Muesli.

A cool fact when it comes to shipping. You can get them delivered like normal stuff you order or pick it up from a hotspot and save the shipping costs.

In Vienna are two or three hotspots and I got mine from the hotspot Billa at the Ringstraßen Gallerie. This Billa has several of their muesli choices in their permanent range as well.

I've been eating the Kickstart Muesli for a week now and it's really delicious.

Nevertheless, those aren't cheap. One 575g can costs (depending one what you choose) 6,90€ or 7,90€. On the other side it's organic and you know exactly what's inside.

I guess you have to decide for yourself if it's worth it or not. I'm gonna finish mine and look in some health food stores if there are comparable cereals. If not, I will order from mymuesli again. :)

You can buy and mix their mueslis here: http://www.mymuesli.com or purchase some at their hotspots.

Do you know mymuesli? Have you tried one or even mixed one yourself?

Catrice Liquid Metal Haul & Swatches

I did it *g* I bought the Liquid Metal eyeshadow from the Catrice L'Afrique c'est chic collection I already talked about here.

The picture doesn't show it's full shimmery beauty, but sunlight is scarce at the moment..

Catrice released several Liquid Metal shadows in their new permanent range, but this is definitely the prettiest. I'm gonna do a look with it soon!

Did you buy any of the liquid metal shadows so far? What do you think??

Sally Hansen - Fuzzy Coat

I'm sure most of you have seen them already. The new Fuzzy Coat collection by Sally Hansen. When I first saw them I wanted to buy them all!! 

After testing two of them I wasn't so convinced any more. All of them had a horrible smell, really horrible, and weren't that opaque. I don't know what I expected, just something different than just a top coat with coloured stripes.

Did you buy them? They are 8,99€ each.

Oral-B Vitality Haul

I decided to get myself an electric toothbrush. I didn't want to spend too much and ended up getting the Vitality for 29,90€.:-)

So far, I really love it. It's much more "fun" than a normal toothbrush. My teeth feel cleaner as well. :-) My teeth are quite sensitive, so I got the Sensitive Clean heads. Sadly, those heads are super expensive.. This package with four heads cost 15€.

What are you using? Electric or normal?

Love,

NOTD Illamasqua

Essie Fall Collection

In September, essie's new fall collection will hit the shelves, so it's time for a little heads up. :-)

I love the look of it. A great mix of fall colours. It's still August, so I don't feel very fall-y, but I definitely like the look of those shadows.

essie was so nice and sent me one of them "After School Boy Blazer":

A glossy blackish blue. Nothing unique, but soo pretty. This is one of those timeless classics. :-) Please excuse my cuticles.. They had a very bad day..

The other five shades are amazing as well.

for the twill of it: a maple brown with olive green shimmer

twin sweater set: crimson red

 cashmere bathrobe:  a dark grey with silver shimmer

the lace is on: a pink-purple shimmer

vested interest: a dusty green grey

I can't wait until they become available. I need at least four others. *gg* Polishaholic has gorgeous pictures of the LE.

What will you buy? *g*

Love,

Guinevere
