I hate buying mascaras. I really do.  You know when you see all those ads with obviously fake lashes? Of course mascara won't make your lashes look like the ones from the ads. But then, what can you actually expect? This is always my biggest problem. You hear of new beauty products all the time but you can never really know how they will work on you unless you try them out. When I went to the drugstore recently to stock up on new mascara I didn't quite know which one I should choose. My favourite drugstore mascara is the green Rimmel Scandaleyes Lycraflex one, which they don't sell here in Austria.  But then the Maybelline counter attracted me with their sign "1+1 free" and I was like: well, you can try out two at the price of one. That can't really go too wrong. So I ended up leaving the shop with two new mascaras- the Maybelline Colossal Volum' and the Colossal Go! Extreme. I have to say that when the Colossal Volum' first came out ages ...

Hello everyone! I am really sorry that I wasn't here for a while now, but uni somehow gets pretty stressful just now with all the upcoming exams. I try to study every spare minute because it is so much that I have to know that I'd like to cry and stay in bed all day long. Today I'm again off to a lecture but I decided to show you my outfit before I go. I actually wanted to take photos outside but I'm alone and there's nobody who could help me. And after uni the light will already be too bad to get nice snaps. ( Although I have to say that the quality of those photos is pretty bad too) I decided to wear my cosy coat today again, because it is cooling down again after all those pretty hot days. But I'm wearing Vans to not look too wintery. creme cosy coat - Primark fluffy pastel jumper - Only high waisted jeans - Topshop shoes - Vans I got this jumper a few days ago and I'm in love! It's actually tight on the skin and you can really feel ...

Hello everyone! I have such complicated eyebrows that I basically have to fill them in every day to achieve a nicer shape ( which also makes my whole face look better). Since I also have hooded eyelids, an arched brow helps my face look more lifted and awake I think. The problem is that the first halves of my brows grow quickly and they get pretty wide, whereas the second halves are just a single line of light hair, which in total looks very weird: thick-thin. That's all. For this reason I have to fill in, or I'd already say draw on those parts to not look like I've overplucked my eyebrows or something. They just don't grow there and it's a shame. To fill them in I got myself a beautyuk High Brow Kit from Superdrug, about a year ago I believe. However, only recently I've found a way to make my brows look good/alright. I use the middle shade. I try to focus more on the second halves of the brows, as I already said before, because they ar...

Good morning! Yesterday I had French at Uni and afterwards I met up with my friend Nicole. We haven't seen eachother in ages and we decided it was time for a catch-up. First we went to Starbucks and since it wasn't cold and autumny outside, we went for tasty Refreshas instead of hot coffee. We sat there for quite a while, chatting away and it was just so nice! I really missed all of my girlfriends when I was away. Then we decided to go for a walk and we actually really walked far! We also had some tasty icecream and I think this might have been my last icecream of the year? (Well, real icecream) Once we came to "Burggarten", which is a pretty park in pretty much the centre of Vienna ( look it up online! :D ), we again sat down and enjoyed the sunshine and peace. When it started to get dark we went on to the city centre and also had a stroll around there, watching all the street musicians and looking at all the pretty shop windows. It was a really nice day. When I...

I finally got to film a new make-up video/tutorial and I think it turned out pretty nice. I wanted to film this update make-up routine for you because maybe you're asking yourself sometimes when checking my blog pictures or even watching my latest vlogs, what I use on my lips or eyes or wahetever. So, you should watch the video below now and I'll let you know below about the products I've used, if you're interested in them. Enjoy!

I can't believe that the first week of September is already over and Summer is pretty much gone now. I felt like doing an August Favourite's post on beauty but didn't get to do it until now, so I hope you won't be too confused since it's a biiit late for that Maybe you'll find it my reviews helpful though. :) As you can see, I've collected a few things that I kept using over and over again during the Summer months, and especially during August. Starting with the first product top left: It's my beautyuk eyebrow kit which I got ages ago and used occasionally in the beginning. With time however, it got a product I've been using about twice a week or so. I have pretty weird eyebrows because the first half of them gets really out of control and then the second part kind of never grows. So my second half of brows is very thin and looks really bad - like 90's eyebrows you could say. Now over Summer, I feel like that thin part got a bit lighte...

I always wanted to film some make-up videos but I don't have a good tripod nor good light to film such nice close up's. So even if I try to take make-up pictures it is extremely difficult to capture the make-up. I basically look very, very weird on such close up pictures and then I always decide better not to do make-up posts because I am just so bad at them. But today I thought I'd show you what I usually apply to my face in the morning and how it looks like after a whole day of running around in the rain, trying to find something without big success. To start with, I use the REN vita Mineral Active 7 Eye Gel around my eyes and sometimes I also feel like moisturising, so I also use my Tolpa mattifying face cream, but usually I do in the evenings. Then, I use my Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer in the shade 010 Ivory - I apply it underneath my eyes, on all the spots and red bits of my face. Once I'm done with that, I use my Bourjois Healthy Balance powder in 53 an...

As I published the Favourites post about other things, now it is time to talk about beauty. I really don't have many beauty products, only what I need. I would really love to have really excited beauty products but right now, I am not in such a good financial situation to buy whatever I'd like to. But still, I think that there are some changes from month to month, regarding preferred beauty products. 1) I am in love with the coconut lip calm from Yves Rocher. It is so soft and so creamy and it smells so nice as well. I use it so often during the day that it is nearly empty already, and I bought this one at the airport on my way to Scotland in April. This is actually my second lip balm of this scent and it surely is my most used one. I also have one that smells like raspberries but it is tinted so this one is better for on the go in my opinion. My lips are usually dry and I need to have lip care everywhere I go, so this one is always in my bag to protect my lips. 2)...

It is nearly the end of the week and I have again a break from college until Monday, which is great. It got warmer again and I am quite confused, but warmth makes me happy so I'm not complaining. I woke up earlier , Eryk hat to go to college and then I napped for a little longer, also got up then and started the day at 9:30. I tidied the room, cleaned the cage and had some quick breakfast. I did my make up and couldn't decide what to wear as I thought it's be cool outside. After a long while I finally picked an outfit that was just comfy and this was it: I wore my usual make up and my hair down as always... I wore my silky floral vest from Primark,  my black leggings from Reserved and my raspberry pink hoodie from Superdry. And also my shoes from ASOS. (I know, I need to clean my mirror today!) On the first bus a lady asked me where I got my shoes from because they are gorgeous, on the second bus another lady told me that she loves my shoes and the colour of...

Today Eryk went to college in the morning and I decided that I'd like to stay in bed for one more hour. It was so sunny that I opened the window to let the warm air in. But the air was freezing and I was shocked and knew that I'd be wearing a cardigan and my jeans jacket to college. I eventually got up and had some breakfast, cleaned the cage, did my make up and checked my bus route before leaving. At 12 Eryk wrote me that he's in his way home and I had to left so we didn't see each other for half of the day. Well, so I hurried to the bus stop because I really didn't want to miss the bus as I knew that I'd need to go on another bus after 15 minutes and didn't want to waste any time, didn't want to be late. Once I got off the first bus I was waiting for the second one and it said that this bus will be here in 20 minutes. This shocked me a lot because I'd probably be late then. However, there was a different bus that just arrived and I asked the bus d...

Today I woke up and it was raining nearly all day long. Eryk and I stayed at home and all we did was being lazy, eating snacks, playing with Maya, playing games and instagramming. In the afternoon I decided to cook something and all I did was just a tasty cheese and bacon pasta bake. It is such a simple, quick meal, but so tasty at the same time! My belly is still so full that I can't move too much. Now Eryk is at work for the next four hours and I will spend another lonely, lazy evening in front of the computer watching some series and eating crisps. At least I finally managed to revise some French earlier today because in 5 days I will have my first day of my French course and I thin it would be better if I'm going to be prepared well. Also, tomorrow I am going to revise some Spanish as this course starts in 4 days already. Oh dear, I will have four days of college a week and I will also need to work! Thank god the courses are only about 2 hours a day. Look at this cutie ...
