Bi Good by Bipa


A few days ago BIPA invited to the release of their new beauty range called "Bi Good". A vegan and natural product palette consisting of 41 products, from tooth paste to body oil. Let's take a look at the beautiful venue and the products..










 The products have been awarded with the Veganblume and are NaTrue certified. To top it off, all the products are made in Austria and are of high quality. I gotta say I was really impressed!

They use local ingredients such as lemon balm, mint, plum, red poppies or alpine herbs. The event itself was a pleasure as well, after a short presentation we were able to try the products and create our own beauty oil, sadly I completely failed. *gg*









It was a gorgeous evening and I'm already a fan. I wish the packaging would be fancier to attract more attention. I'm afraid it might look a bit "too" natural and alternative for some people.

I'll review some products soon and there'll also be a giveaway. :)

They will be released on the first September, but they were already available at my Bipa. I couldn't resist buying something, especially regarding the fact that all the items are super affordable. :)

Have a great night.

Love,
Guinevere

MAC's LE Craziness in September

We all know MAC sometimes burries us with limited editions and September is going to be of those times.. It's hard to keep up by now, so I though I'll give you an overview. :-) Get ready!

The one I'm most excited about is the Marge Simpson Collection:


I NEED one of the blushes and the green eyeshadow palette. My poor bank account..

The next LE that will hit our stores in September is the "A Novel Romance" collection. A huuuuge LE with the cheesiest promo pictures I've ever seen. *g* It's one of those collections where everyone finds something.








If you thought we're done for September, you're wrong. Artificially Wild, a LE full of wearable nude colours, comes next.





There will also be  new Viva Glam Rihanna lipstick..

Last, but not least there will be a new mascara. The Mineralize Lash:





Puh.. What a month!!!

I'm gonna keep you updated, if there will be something else. Let's hope they will wait a little bit and give us a chance to recover.

Love,
Guinevere

The U.S. Haul without having been to the U.S.

What a title. *gg*

My sister finished her bachelor degree this semester and as a reward she went on a gorgeous trip through the USA.

God was I jealous and since we are renovating our house big time, we have no money left for a holiday.

Of course I had a huge wishlist, but I kept it to a minimum. Here are my treasures:


An Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade, how awesome is that!!!

One for me in Medium Brown, one for a friend in Taupe.





I couldn't bring myself to use it yet, but I will.. *g* Finally, my very own Hourglass blush





Additionally, she got me a key chain with my name and a cute hand disinfectant




I can't wait til' I'll be back over there. Hopefully next year. What do you think? Good choices??

Love,
Valerie

Look of the Day

Today we had a family party. I have quite a big family and it's always lovely to meet up and just be a huge bubble of chatter and laughter. So I wanted to look all nice and pretty.




I hope you had a great weekend!

Love,
Valerie

MAC's Osbourne LE

Yesterday we finally had the pleasure of getting the collection I wanted for ages. I drove to Vienna early to get my hands on it. Let's take a look.




Even though it was relatively early I wasn't alone *gg*. Swatch arm:



You won't believe it, but I walked away without any product. We're still renovating our home and money is scarce, but it literally hurt. I decided to get the Sharon quad and the Kelly Yum Yum lipstick after all, but don't tell anyone. *gg*

What did you buy??

Love,
Valerie

Being Nerdy Lego Style

A lifestyle post close to my heart. *gg*

I love LEGO, it's just something timeless and special. A while back we "invested" in the Tower Bridge


and we've been eyeing the VW Bus for ages. Since LEGO isn't cheap I never actually bought it, but now they are releasing a Mini (which of course I want) and it's going to be discontinued soon. I gotta tell you, it was ordered in a matter of minutes. lol

So now I'm just gonna show you that pretty baby.



It's got a special place in our book shelf.




Isn't it gorgeous? So, if you're a fan and thought about buying it one day, you better buy it now.

Love,
Valerie
