Review: Origins GinZing Mascara

Origins stopped selling their make up in Austria a little while back, until now. They released a new mascara. The "GinZing" mascara. Another item of the GinZing series. :-)

I was a little intimitated when I saw the brush. It's huuuuge.

What Origins says about it:

"100% visible boost in lushness & lift - Go from wimpy to whoa with Nature's lash-boosting pro. In an instant, the mega-plush brush sweeps up, fans out & delivers a powerful formula with eye-opening Carnauba Palm to every last lash. The result: soft, long, lush lashes that never look spiky, brittle or clumpy."

What do I say?

I didn't expect much to be honest, but I absolutely love it! It curls, lengthens and stays put. It's not waterproof, but it persisted some serious tears of laughter. *g* Definitely a new favorite of mine. I can totally recommend it!

Love,
Guinevere

Origins Recycling Day

Today was the day you could get your free full size eye cream from Origins. 

Of course I got mine, my mom got one too. You could choose between "Plantscription" and the famous "GinZing". 

Still can't believe it. That's so cool. I already reviewed the GinZing eye cream here. Did you get yours?

Love,

MAC Temperature Rising Haul

This is a very late, but still great ;-) haul from one of MAC's latest collections.

The two polishes:

Tropical Scorching Haute

They are soo pretty.

I wish I could have bought more. There are some great items, but I'm on a serious budget now - for the next ten years.

Gonna post swatches soon. :-)

Love,

Origins Blogger Breakfast

You all know I love Origins, so I was more than happy to be part of the blogger breakfast on Monday. Besides constantly making awesome products, they also do lovely events. This one was at Hollmann in the first district.

The reason for this pleasant breakfast - Origins launched a new moisturizer. The "GingZing" which is an extension of their famous GinZing series. 

I already own the GinZing eye cream and I love it. I use it every morning. It brightens your shadows immediately.

Our lovely hosts Elisabeth and Sylvia:

The star of the morning. It smells like fresh squeezed oranges and sinks into your skin immediately. I love it, I'll write a detailed review soon.

Love,
Guinevere

NOTD

Today, we had a beautiful weather, so I needed a happy-summery colour. I chose China Glaze's "Aquadelic".

What a beauty! What's your favorite summer shade??

Catching Up

Puh.. That took a while, didn't it? How was your May so far? Mine was busy as hell.. Let's talk a little about it. Where to start..

On Wednesday, the Austrian tv series "Cop Stories" filmed right beside our house. I never watched it, so I couldn't believe when I saw Fahri Yardim right in front of me. Apparently, he plays a main role in it. *gg* I only know him from from "Almanya - Willkommen in Deutschland".

He played young Hüseyin in it. A german movie I love and I definitely loved him in this movie.

I was so excited. Gotta watch Cop Stories from now on.

How was your week? I'm gonna do some more posts today and over the weekend.

Love,
Guinevere

I'm not dead

I'm not dead :-) May just has been incredibly busy so far...

I'll start posting again tomorrow. :-)

MAC's Temperature Rising Preview Night

Yesterday, MAC released a bunch of collections and invited to take a peek. I was stuck at University and arrived an hour after the event started and the two products I wanted - the TR nail polishes - were sold out. :-( I'll get them on Thursday!

But let's look at some photos:

Temperature Rising:

Art of the Eye:

and of course some hot men serving snack.

This time they also got a DJ, how cool's that? 

They Fashion Sets were also available, but they didn't have a display for it yet.

Here the two gorgeous nail polishes I want so badly:

How cool are those? Three coats each, without a top coat. I didn't expect them to be so pigmented.

The Temperature Rising LE has a bunch of gorgeous products. I would buy everything if I had the money.

If I wouldn't have to pay back a loan I would buy both blushes, all the shadow pencils, the nail polishes, two bronzers and two lipsticks.
Unfortunately, none of this will happen so it will be only a tiny haul including the nail polishes and eventually a blush. Depending on how responsible I feel on Thursday. *gg*

Art of the Eye has several great products as well, I love bold colours, but I have more than enough eyeshadows and the kohl eye pencils are permanent at the pro stores, so no need to hurry.

What will you get??

Love,
Guinevere

Illamasqua - Paranormal

I have a little gift for you. A first look at Illamasquas new collection -> Paranormal.
All pictures belong to Illamasqua.

Some swatches for you. The UV polishes are my favorites:

Geist:

Omen:

Seance:

Ouija:

The two lipsticks:

ESP:

Posture:

The palette is another cool product, sadly Illamasqua did't post swatches on their homepage. They have a new finish.

Illamasqua says: "This unique water-resistant eye shadow can't quite decide if it's a cream or powder. Instead it combines the best of both worlds, delivering the textured silky appearance of a powder, but with the deep colour wash of a cream"

Can't wait to see swatches. In my opinion, their new collection is once more a gorgeous mix of cool products. Typically Illamasqua. :-) It officially launches on Tuesday, 30th April.

Let me know if you buy something and your experience with it. I would love to buy the quad and all the polishes.

Love,
Guinevere
