NARS eyeshadow haul

Hey everyone, I know it's been a while but I will catch up with some things now, so here is my little nars haul & swatches:

NARS Alhambra duo (shimmery pink & golden champagne)

Nars Faith (peach with gold)

Nars Abyssinia (pearl with slight shimmer)

left to right: Alhambra pink, Alhambra gold, Faith, Abyssinia

Tweezerman folding lashcomb

I love every single one of the eyeshadows, they are such perfect bright yet wearable and subtile colours for summer. The quality and pigmentation are great, I mean they're nars...
The lash comb is pretty good too, but the bristles are really pointed(!!!!), as you can see. So you have to be careful and concentrated when working with it. It's actually to be used after applying mascara, then it will seperate and de-clump your lashes.

I definitely want to get some more nars products, especially the laguna bronzer and albatross highlighter.

I will soon post a haul of nice skincare products from a really cool, upcoming brand, so check back later today!

hair & skin

First of all: I know my blog is really boring at the moment and I will tell you why. First, I am really busy right now because my finals are coming up and I have to study a lot.

I will now tell you about my skin and haircare routine and later this week I want to show you my NARS collection.

Also I will tell you some experience with snowberry cosmetics.

Ok, I'll start with hair. I switch shampoos from time to time, because I heard that your hair gets used to it. In my opinion that's a really cool result of research because I love trying new things! :)
For me it's important that shampoo doens't contain any silicone or aggressive tensides. Apart from that, it has to be moisturizing because I have really dry hair and I get split-ends very easily. I like the lavera almond milk shampoo, even if it's not that moisurizing, but it smells amazing.
Today I got the regenerating shampoo by annemarie börlind, but I haven's tried it yet. I think it's the one in the middle. I would like to try the conditioner too.

I love the Brilliant Care Conditionere by Sante, which is my HG. It's really good. I use it every day or every other day.
After conditioning I apply Phyto 9 or the "baume defrisenteur" by Phyto, if I plan to straighten my hair. I'm a huge fan of Phyto leave-in products!

Now for skincare. First of all: I have combination skin with larger pores on my cheeks and during the day my face tends to become shiny. I used the products by Dr. Hauschka for about the past year. I liked the wash cream and the face tonic for oily skin, but I couln't really find a good moisturizer, which would avoid my skin from getting shiny.

So I thought it's about time to try something new. I discovered this brand called mádara in a local organic store and I loved the design. The products seemed really light and they had a foam cleanser. A FOAM CLEANSER!!! If you're into organic cosmetics, you will know that's a really rare thing to find. Anyways, I had to buy it of course, but haven't tried yet.

I got a 10% off coupon when I checked out and if I like the cleanser, I might get the whole combination skincare set, which contains the foam cleanser, a toner and a mattifiying gel.

Doesn't it look pretty? I am very excited to try!

shopping today

So I went to a big drugstore today and I tried, swatched and liked these things:

CK ultimate eyeliner in cocoa sheen (warm brown), which is pretty much my haircolor

Artdeco eyeshadow in 233 (not sure anymore), this reminded me of mac's all that glitters

Sans Soucis eyeshadow base, looked really good and very nice texture but I so want to try the UDPP

Dior Addict High Shine Lipstick in Champagne blush, which is the lightest pink. Very pretty, a little sparkly though

And guess what? I didn't buy any of these. Although I maybe would have bought the liner if I knew it contained a brush. I got some skincare products and one brush, I will update on that later.

But I didn't get any make up at all. I think I will order certain things online soon, so stay tuned!
