Oh so nude!

Beautiesss!!!!

How yall doing 2day? Im doing good, just a lil bit tired tho. Just put my lil monkey to bed and now i have finally time to write a blog post. I went to the nail salon 2day and got my nails done. I had black nail tips and got pretty fast tired of it. Now that summer is here i wanna paint my nails again and so i got rid of the "winter nails".
I had to buy diapers for my son 2day and went to he drugstore...and of course i bought something for me as well...*looks on the floor* But the nail polish, i got, was just to cute and fits to the heels i ordered.
I got a Manhattan Nail polish from the Manhattan meets Buffalo Limited Edition and its called 95E "Need Chai Latte". Its actually a nude and this is how it looks:


I also got a Lipgloss and a Lipliner from Essence.

Essence "Stay with me" Lipgloss - 01 Me& My Icecream
Essence Lipliner - 07 Cute pink

I think it goes well together....using the lipliner first and give it a glossy finish with the Lipgloss. I already know which outfit i wanna wear, when i use the Lipgloss and Lipliner. But you gotta be patient cause my shoes are still on the way to mommy...havnt gotten them yet. The topic will be color blocking tho :)

Color code

Hey beauties!

I went to the drugstore a couple of days ago ( like almost every day since im make up addicted) and I found those pretttyyyyy nail polishes by Manhattan. I was going for one of them until i saw that its a Limited Edition 
(Manhattan Lotus Effect Limited Edition) . Well yeah....i endet up with 5 new nail polishes and a few new make-up items. Those are the ones i got.

from left to right:

13 Underwater Love
4 Babelicious
7 SOHO-Hot
15 Lemonade
2 Fresh-excited

I also got 2 nail polishes by Catrice

left: 210 Just Married  right: Prismatic Effects

The Prismatic Effects Top Coat has a multi- faceted duo chrome effect. Can be used alone or as a top coat on any nail lacquer.


Now to the make-up items.


left to right: 
"Stay with me" longlasting lipgloss by Essence (o2 my favorite milkshake )
Holographic eyeliner by Essence ( 01 blue ray )
"Stay with me" longlasting lipgloss by Essence (04 Trendsetter)

Im totally in love with the lipglosses! They last long, look great and i dont get dry lips when i wear it. I havent wore the Eyeliner yet but it looks uper sexy from what i saw on my hand. 
I got a voucher last year and i decided to redeem it finally.



I was going for Benefit cause i never tried it before. When i came in the store i was pretty confused cause there were a lot of products and i did not know what i wanna get. I asked the sales lady to help me and when she told me about the products, i felt like buying ALL of them. Long story short, i got 2 make-up items and a perfume. On my way home, i stopped by at the corner shop and bought a beauty magazine...i was ready to settle back after a long day.
And this is what i got:

1. erase paste: This concentrated, creamy concealer brightens and camouflages in one easy step! Targets dark circles, discoloration and imperfections. ( this is what they wrote in the benefit magazine)

My opinion: I dont get that much sleep since im a mommy. Thats why my new best friend is called 
" Concealer ". I  never had dark circles but now i do. And it really does what it says. I look fresh and well rested when i used the erase paste. The only thing i find fault with is the prize. It costs 25€ and the potty is so,so small...Im going to try a Concealer by MAC and if it works that good, i might go for a MAC concealer next time. 

2. Oh la lift: Legendary under-eye brightening boost...this delicate pink balm is like an instant eyelift! Contains raspberry extracts and light-reflecting pigments to instantly perk up tired eyes. Can be applied on bare skin or over makeup.

My opinion:  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!!! It wont be the last time that i bought it. For example: If i have to hurry in the morning and i have no time to do my make-up, i´ll just apply a little bit 
" Oh la lift " and i look fresh and healthy in the next minute. I really do love it and i recommend it to everybody...and especially to mommies :)

3. Maybe Baby ( Perfume) :  
Blend: sparkling floral
Top Note: apricot and white ginger
Middle Note: fresh water blossoms of cyclamen, lychee and bergamot
Base Note: white musk, Himalayan poppy and warm peach
I love it...i guess, i wouldnt buy it´d stink to me...lol


I bought a pink shirt last week and i needed high heels that fit to th shirt. Im not so into color blocking but i thought " okay just try it " and i decided to get blue high heels for the pink shirt. Im pretty excited how it looks...Here a sneak peak

I cant wait to get them <3

Review on my beauty products

soooooo i contacted the company where i ordered my brush and for some reason something went wrong with the transfer...so i gotta do that again. -.- That means i gotta wait a few more days till i get it..

I thought im going to give you at least the review on my products then. So here we go:

L´Oréal Glam Bronze Minerals 102 Brunette:
So i had to get a new Bronzer and i got this one cause it was on sale and they had 50% off. I tried it out for the first time...uhm i guess last week...and i don´t know if its my skin, the brush, the make up or whatever but it didn´t really work for me when i used it. When i put on my make up and use the Bronze Minerals it looks always kinda patchy. I haven´t figured out yet if it´s the make-up or the brush. I lost my brush and now i have to use the one i got with the product:
<---- I don´t know if anybody knows this brush but if so please let me know if u get along with it or not. It would really help me to figure out if i have to change the make up or if i need to get a new brush asap.
BUT even though the bronzer makes me crazy it gives you a nice glam...I already thought it might even be cause im pregnant..maybe it changes how my skin gets along with make up. I dont know urgh!
Maybelline Pure Mineral Make-Up:
I bought the Maybelline Mineral Make-Up and it´s def nothing for me. I don´t feel comy with it at all. It´s absolutely not covering and i don´t like the way it looks...My skin looks always kinda oily when i used it. And i feel like i put it on and 30 min later it looks like i don´t even know the word make up. It´s just gone. That´s why i thought it might be the make-up what makes the bronzer lookin patchy. Cause if the foundation just disappears how can the bronzer look still nice??
Anyways i don´t know how you feel about it but i def won´t buy this make-up again.
Maybelline Fix Powder:
I haven´t tried it yet. I thought it´s not even worth it when my make up looks worse after 30 min.  I think even fix powder can´t change it.
Essence XXL shine Lipgloss- contains carmine:
I LOVE IT!!!! it looks so pretty and it works perfect for your everyday life.
Essence Lipliner- 03 hot chocolate:
It doesn´t really look like hot chocolate to me but it works fine. It looks pretty natural and you don´t really see it but it still contures your lips.
Essence metal glam eyeliner- 01 got a date?:
OMFG! I wish they had other colours of it...like a real dark blue or something. It looks sooooo nice and you can use it for your everyday make up or for a night make-up. It looks pretty glamorous to me.
Girls, please do me a favor and leave me a comment down below.. just tell me if you had have experiences with one of those products or what kinda make-up or bronzin powder you would recommend. I really need suggestions on what to get. Im kinda desperate..lol
Thank you guys so much <3
