September Favourites!

 Hello people! I can't believe it's already October; this year is going so quickly (there are only 84 days until christmas YAY :) But seriously, where did the summer go? It feels like I was just getting in to that summer feeling(if you know what I mean), only to find the fall knocking at my door.  Anyway I looove fall time and cozy sweaters, hot drinks and just seeing that the leaves change the colour... Is it just me?! Without further ado - my September favourites! :)

Ellite Paris Eye Liner in 01 Black Out
Ushuaia Déodorant 24h in Vanille de Polynésie
Yves Rocher Hand Cream in Vanilla/Lemon
Maybelline New York Baby Lips in Cherry Me
Dr. Fix - On your lips Care in Kiwi & Passion Fruit

I'm not quite a lover of eye liners but I came across this one and I was quite impressed. It stays really long and it really defines my eyes. I'm planning on doing a review later month.

The next product I've been using is this antiperspirant I got this from a friend who visited France earlier this year. This smells divine after vanilla. It doesn't really has a strong scent what I think is really good. If you want to try this out I found a shop who sends this world wide.

An absolutely must-have for me during fall/winter time is hand cream. My hands tend to get very dry so I always carry a hand cream with me. This one from Yves Rocher was released in the Christmas edition from 2012. This hand cream makes my hands incredible soft and the scent is very sweet that makes you feel cozy and festive.

Here it is: the much talked Baby Lips. I only own it for a few weeks because here in Switzerland they're released a bit late but I bought them anyway! I only have to say two things: scent is amazing and love that it leaves a bit of colour on your lips! Definitely worth the hype!

And last but not least Dr.Fix's On Your Lips. My friend bought me this lip balm while she was on holiday in Greece. I really like it but unfortunately I couldn't find a site where they buy it but I will keep an eye out for this and as soon as I find it I'll let you know. :)

What products have you been loving last month? Let me know! xx

Hello October!

It's the first of October YAY :) I feel like this year went by so fast and I can't believe it's already October. This time is actually one of my favourite seasons of the year! Love all the pumpkins recipes and the long walks in the nature also that the leaves change colours!

What is your favourite season of the year and why? Let me know! Have a wonderful day :) xx

Would You Rather TAG - Beauty Edition

I recently was watching Tanja aka TanjaBurr's videos on Youtube and saw her do this cute Tag what seemed quite funny. I would love to do more Tag posts in the future so please let me know if you enjoyed this down below!

1. Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks and lipglosses or lose all of your palettes and eyeshadows?
I don't want to lose any of it! First I thought I would rather lose all of my palettes and eyeshadows because I couldn't live without mascara. But sooner I thought that I have to replace all my mascaras and eyeliners because they have a shorter shelf life than the most of my eyeshadows and palettes. So I would rather lose my mascaras, eyeliners and lipsticks!

2. Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?
If I would chop off all of my hair it would grow again, but if I let it grow and never be able to cut it again it would be awful to treat my hair, only imagine the tangles my curly hair would get into. But on the other side, my hair grows really slowly so I would rather never be able to cut my hair again.

3. Would you rather have coral cheek or a pink cheek?
I prefer to use coral blushes and with a coral cheek you could use nearly every lipstick, so I would rather have a coral cheek!

4. If you have had $1,000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup?
Hard one! I love shopping clothes and makeup but probably I would spend all the money on makeup because I could buy all these high end brands that I normally don't use. :)

5. Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner, or eyeliner as lipstick?
It would depend on the texture of the lipstick. If I would use a matte deep-colored lipsticks it could probably work but a shiny one?! That would so smudge. I can imagine using eyeliner as lipstick but only if the eyeliner isn't black but a pretty pink, nude or bronze color!

6. Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?
I have some really awesome products from MAC but I love to try out new products! In Sephora there were so many brands I could try out!

7. Would you rather only use one eyeshadow colour or one lip colour for the rest of your life?
I'm not really a lover of lipsticks or lipglosses and in my everyday I tend to use brown and bronze shades. I would have to say one eyeshadow color.

8. Would you rather wear winter clothes in summer or summer clothes in winter?
I don't like being too hot because I get really fast sweaty so I would go with summer clothes in winter. I still could use cardigans and tights!

9. Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year around?
Bright nails! I have a quite big nail polish collection. But just a few polishes are dark. I gravitate toward the light or bright colors much more!

10. Would you rather give up your favorite lip product or your favorite eye product?
My favorite lip products at the moment are the Labello Fruity Shine Pink Guava and the Revlon Lip Butters. The choice of my favorite lip products change all the time, because there are so many out there that I want to try, but most of the time I put the lip balm or the lip stick in my bag and I never see it again! Unfortunately I lost my lip products really fast :( So I would rather give up my favorite lip product.

11. Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a ponytail or a messy bun?
Whatever I do I can't do a messy bun. My hair is too curly or too long to put in a bun, all my hair ties broke immediately. So I would go with a ponytail!

12. Would you rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lip gloss?
Like I said on the top, I don't like to use lip gloss. I hate it when the wind blows and all my hair sticks on my lips. But I really like to use the Juicy Tubes Mood from Lancôme, they are amazing! I would go with never use lip gloss again!

13. Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all or sharpie them in everyday?
This question tops everything. I can imagine me without eyebrows. That would definitely look weird. But sharpie them in everyday? Is there even a sharpie out there with the perfect size? I think it's better without eyebrows than sharpie them everyday but I can't really answer this question. I've searched on google some pictures of people without eyebrows and other people with sharpie ones and I just can say: Look good after your eyebrows people! :)

14. Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish?
I would rather live without nail polish because I'm more attached to my makeup but  I have to say I also could live without makeup but who would want to! :)


So that's it! I answered the all the questions. I had really fun doing this and I would love to read your TAG. So if you did this TAG or any other I would love to hear about! Have a nice day. xx

Essence Longlasting Lipstick | Review and Swatches

Hello! So today I want to introduce you to one of my favourite lipsticks that I've been using in fall time A LOT - the Essence longlasting lipstick in the colour 04 on the Catwalk!

If I should describe this lipstick in one word I would say - AMAZING! This lipstick is one of the ten available colours of their new longlasting Lipstick collection. I bought this lipstick at the thought of using it during fall time.
Packaging
I'm sure you can see from the image above just how wonderful this lipstick is.
It comes in a pretty discreet black matte packaging with a thin line in the colour of lipstick all around. The label with the name is also in the same colour as the lipstick. If you turn the lipstick out you can see the well-known "E" stamped.

Formula/Texture
First I thought this lipstick would be really heavy as a colour. But applying it on my lips it covers my lips without looking too heavy and harsh. Sadly it doesn't stay very long about 2-3 hours on me, but I don't mind reapplying it. I would recommend using a lip liner in addition.

Colour
Like I said above - the lipstick is available in 9 other colours from a classic red to a pretty cotton candy colour. I picked up the 04 - On The Catwalk! which is a pretty dark red with a burgundy undertone. I wasn't expecting it to look so well on the lips because first I thought it would be a bit too dark. It was quite the contrary!

Price
I bought this lipstick for CHF 3.37 here in Switzerland what is really cheap I think for such a pretty lipstick.
I did a bit of research about where you can buy Essence Makeup and find out that Essence just launched in the UK. From this month Essence Makeup will be available in several Wilkinson stores!
What I think
This is a really good, definitely not pricey drugstore lipstick which I recommend to everyone. I'm looking forward to buy other colour from their Essence Longlasting Lipstick Collection.

The Round-Up
Pros:
 - The subtle red and burgundy undertones with addition to dullness makes it more wearable      dark red lipstick 
 - It's great for every day use.
 - not pricey at all

Cons:
 - The lasting power is quite short - it doesn't last longer than a couple of hours ( I recommend     use a lip liner before applying the lipstick.

Fresh New Start

Friends,

I hope you started well in the month of September. I think this year went by so fast and I can still not believe that fall is just around the corner.

lovely sunrise in the morning  - took this while biking to school :)

I have had that big post swimming around in my head to write to you, explaining all the reasons I keep trying to post here. To tell you the truth the last few weeks I've been feeling exhausted. During the months of June and July I blogged a lot. I was in that blogging routine.
Take photos - research - write post - publish. And I did this two or three times a week and didn't feel stressed or something like that. And now as I started school I have lots of things to do. That's not an excuse to not blog. The last few weeks I had kind of a blogger's break.
I sat down but nothing came - I couldn't write.

But know I'm here - writing this post that was flowing in my head for quite a while now and that I decided to write now. I'm trying to post once or twice week in the next time. Reviews, photographs, OOTD's, DIY's or even just talk to you (what I really enjoy :D). What would you like to read?
But for now a huge THANK YOU for the friends you have been and letting me be in that Blogging Community!
