MAC Ascent of Glamour Colourdrenched Pigment & Dark Side Lipstick from Magic Of The Night for Holiday 2015, Review Swatch & FOTD

We have such a beautiful Fall weather here, sunny and mild, the trees are so beautiful. I love Fall when it is like this. Today's haul included new glasses, yay! I tried all the designer corner with no success and ended up getting a titanium one from Silhouette with no frame. I thought I need something which doesn't compete with my eye make-up. I also picked up one more matte Diorific Lipstick from the holiday collection since I ended up loving the ones I have. If I can come to that, I will post a few more FOTDs.

Last week MAC Holiday Collection Magic Of The Night launched online in Germany but of course I was constantly too late for all the launches so I missed Oh Darling and Evening Rendezvous. I am also eyeing Tonight is the Night and Please Me. I really don't have time to stalk a webpage at the moment so I will try to catch those online on Monday. For the time being I have two pieces to show you, MAC Ascent of Glamour Colourdrenched Pigment and Dark Side (Amplified) Lipstick

Guerlain Parure Gold Gold Radiance Powder Foundation Rejuvenating Effect SPF 15 PA++, Review, Swatch & FOTD

Hiya everyone. I hope you had a great week, mine started great, I got the clearance like I mentioned on Tuesday. Then it started getting really very tiring since there were many meetings to attend on top of my teaching schedule. I am really excited about the weekend. Oh and I just watched Paper Towns after finding out that Cara Delevingne is not that present after all. I might be the only one but I am not huge fan of hers. Anyway, I think the movie was entertaining but somehow in the end we asked to ourself, so, what was the ending about after all? It was getting really good in the last 40 min and last 10 min was like boo. That aside, I love watching movies to start the weekend. It is one of my favorite activities, ehm, right there with writing a post *wink wink*

I have been very excited about the recent revamped formulation of Guerlain Parure Gold Foundation which I have reviewed here. I am head over heels about that foundation and using it everyday. #02 started to get a little deeper after my holiday tan left me *sniff sniff* but thanks to Melanie from mel-et-fel now I have the matching shade, 11! She was insisting that I should try that shade (and gave me hers) because it is a possible good match for my skin, she was so right. All of you out there who is slightly lighter than me, you should go for shade 00.

I have also been testing the new Guerlain Parure Gold Gold Radiance Powder Foundation so I figured out maybe you are interested in my thoughts? Right after the jump.

Cosmed.Me Hyaluron Serum boosted by LTS, Review & Photos

I hope you are having a wonderful week. Mine started very well on Monday and I could clear most of the uncertainties which have to do with the current job. I got the certificate from the examination, which was partly due to luck I believe but what isn't in life right? So yay for a great start, thanks to everyone who sent me positive energy and lovely wishes.

Today I would like to share my thoughts about a new skin care brand, Cosmed.Me which is Europe based and can be ordered from most of the countries in Europe via brand's website. The brand focuses on one product at the moment, Hyaluron Serum. They have a patented technology to make hyaluron reach deeper skin levels to achieve a similar result to injections. Here are my thoughts about  Cosmed.Me Hyaluron Serum.

Estée Lauder New Dimension Shape + Fill Expert Serum, Shape + Sculpt Face & Eye Kits, Review, Swatch & FOTD

I hope you had a great weekend. I always have the feeling that it is way too short although this time it was one hour more than usual thanks to the switch to the winter time. Today was the big long cleaning day. Now that everything looks polished, it is time to go to work again boo. Tomorrow I am hoping to get an answer regarding the very odd examination I had last week. I hope things don't get even more complex than they are at the moment. I really have no energy to write complaint letters and sue if necessary. I would like to concentrate on my new task and deliver the best there instead of putting my energy in those things. Fingers (and toes) crossed it turns out to be good tomorrow.

A new fresh wind is blowing from Estée Lauder in case you haven't noticed. They keep coming up with innovating new products. This year has certainly been a great year for the brand who renewed the eye shadow formulas, lipsticks, launched new formulas and textures for those as well as new base products. The recent base perfecting line, New Dimension aims at sculpting and shaping the face. The intention is to look perfect at each angle. Today I would like to share my thoughts about Estée Lauder New Dimension Shape + Fill Expert Serum as well as Shape + Sculpt Face & Eye Kits. And as for the surprise, at the end of this post you will find a face shot of me from the reverse side which I never revealed before! Right after the jump...

Sisley Phyto-Poudre Libre Loose Powder, Eye Twist 04 Steel, 05 Lagoon, So Intense Eyeliner, Phyto-Lip Twist 07 Coral and Phyto-Lèvres Lipliner 08 Coral, Review, Swatch & FOTD

What a week it was, and the stress is not over yet. I spared all good luck wishes for the upcoming Monday and then hopefully my problems are over for good. I hope your week was better than mine. In any case, it is now weekend and best thing about it, it has just started! Plans for today are to solve the package/delivery issues I am having with H&M. I haven't purchased anything from them for ages and now I remember why. I order on receipt and they send the package and ask me to pay at the door. And... they don't accept card? What the rabbit! Anyhow, never again. Today I have to run a few more errands but I am definitely in to enjoy the beautiful weather. The weekend ahead will be amazing, it is expected to be sunny & warm, yay for that!

I started reviewing Holiday Collections a few weeks ago but there are a few more gems I would like to share from the latest looks for the season. Sisley's Fall Collection Night & Day Glam brings their recently released products combined in a very unusual way. You would think that orange lips are for summer? For Sisley Fall, lips are dressed  in colors of the falling leaves while eyes are kept sultry in navy & gunmetal. Interesting? Let's check out...

Suqqu Eye Color Palette Ex-04 Shisouori & Christmas 2015 Makeup Kit B, Review, Swatch & FOTD

I hope everyone is having a great week. Mine is sort of stressful due to a stupid doctor examination I have to pass to get my civil servant rights. Since I had a health issue four years ago and the state only cares about statistics but not "people" now I am quite worried about it. I am loving my current job but just because of that I might have to search for a new one and go back to industry. I really hope this doesn't happen (wish me luck tomorrow). This is why sorry if I don't sound very cheerful today.

I would like to show you another pretty holiday set from Suqqu, Christmas Makeup Kit B which is the cooler option from the two. You can see my review of Kit A here. Kit B comes with the same deep blue Gel Eyeliner (Ex-02) and a makeup remover. The eye trio in this set is a combination of pinks and purples, yes, my type of shades, yay! Let me share my thoughts about Suqqu Eye Color Palette Ex-04 Shisouori.

Suqqu Eye Color Palette Ex-03 Aosaori & Christmas 2015 Makeup Kit A, Review, Swatch & FOTD

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. It is not over yet, enjoy! I was planning to blog yesterday night but right after having dinner, I came up with the idea of visiting our favorite cocktail place to have a drink or two. There is a great jazz lounge with live music and cocktails are so yummy. I started with my favorite, Mojito and moved on to Mai Tai which I also like. But then there were   Japanese crab crackers which came with the cocktails, don't ask me how these combine but I am known to go overboard with everything which is coming from Japan so the salt in there made me drink the Mojito in a record speed. Rest is history... I must have slept before midnight lol.

On the 1st of November the first holiday collection of Suqqu will be released. Suqqu is planning more releases this season, there are store exclusives and some good value kits but the wide spread Holiday release of this year consists of two kits. Each kit has a pouch, a limited Eye Color Palette (trios) and a limited Gel Eyeliner Pencil as well as a two phase Eye Makeup Remover. Due to shipping restrictions I won't be able to show you the make-up remover but I am excited to share my thoughts on Makeup Kit A today featuring Suqqu Eye Color Palette Ex-03 Aosaori and Gel Eyeliner Pencil Ex-02. I will also review Makeup Kit B soon.

Jo Malone London Dark Amber & Ginger Lily Cologne Intense Review

Eventually the weather turned to be really chilly here. In the mornings it is almost below 10 degrees Celsius. I have even heard that it had snowed on high lands. Considering that it didn't snow for almost two years straight, it has rather been a shock to see something white falling from the skies. Although some people like and miss snow, I am perfectly happy to live somewhere where it is not that cold all year around.

As the weather changes, I started to go for warmer scents with spices and occasionally a touch of incense. This season I have been loving Jo Malone Mimosa & Cardamom (reviewed here) for its inviting spicy opening and floral heart with an unusual touch of Mimosa. As it gets colder, I wanted to enrich the beautiful composition of Mimosa & Cardamom by emphasizing the spiciness, adding more sensual florals and neutralizing the sweetness of the Tonka Bean with something deeper, stronger and a little darker. This is when I layered it to perfection with Jo Malone London Dark Amber & Ginger Lily Cologne Intense for my signature scent of this season. Here are my thoughts about Dark Amber & Ginger Lily Cologne Intense.

Tom Ford Cream and Powder Duo Night Sky from Noir Collection for Holiday 2015, Review, Swatch, FOTD & Comparison

I hope you are having a wonderful week. Today (starting from tonight) was that time of the month for me again. Sorry for too much information but hey, do you have the same problem? I get so clumsy, like literally drop everything I have in my hand on the ground. Today I was preparing a Sisley blog post and the eye crayon dropped all the way to the ground. Needless to say it was a big mess. And for this blog post when I opened the package I was super happy to get the Cream & Powder Duo in perfect shape, not touching the cap, perfectly aligned. That was until I dropped it today haha! Anyway if that happens to you, just tap it on the table a few times and it realigns. 

I am super excited to share the rest of the Tom Ford Holiday Collection Items with you today. You can see my swatches and comparison of Black Out Nail Lacquer here. I have previously reviewed First Time Lipstick, which comes in a special lined case for this collection here. This is why today I would like to concentrate on Cream & Powder Eye Shadow Duo in Night Sky. A spoiler, it is as smoky as it gets. Ready? *jumps*

Tom Ford Nail Lacquer Black Out for Holiday 2015 Noir Collection, Review, Swatch, Comparison & FOTD

I hope you had a great start in the week. I was at home today but had to run around after some paper work and ended up exhausted on the couch, playing with shimmery black nail polishes (as shared on Instagram here) and yawning as I woke up a little earlier than usual. 

Shimmery black nail polishes are one of my weaknesses, love them as long as there is no chunky glitter involved. I love the glittery ones too but they are a little of a mess to remove. Yes, even with aluminum foil technique but this is a topic for another blog post. Let's look at this stunning black with subtle but visible shimmer, flashing in all possible colors. I am talking about Tom Ford Nail Lacquer Black Out.

MAC MACnificient Me Collection, My Picks and lots of Swatches & FOTDs

I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Mine was really relaxing. Yesterday night we had a great dinner at our favorite restaurant (Japanese Cuisine) and made use of some "beauty event" discounts to get some of the essentials, such as the natural lip liner from Chanel and some more fun make-up from MAC. I ended up with nine pieces from MAC MACneficient Collection. I was trying to resist but it didn't work. Worst of all I am eyeing a few items from there holiday collection as well.

Here is a photo of the items I picked before yesterday so a few here are missing. My picks in the end turned out to be: Sculpt & Shape Powder Accentuate & Sculpt, Eye Shadow x9 MACnificient Me, Eye Shadows Cheer Me On and Everyone's Darling, Pro Longer Paint Pot Frozen Violet, Powder Blushes A Little Lusty and Burned Pepper, Amplified Creme Lipstick in My Inner Femme and Mattene Semi-Matte Lipstick in Strutting Fabulous. It is a long list and not every one of them turned out to be excellent but I had so much fun with the pieces so I would like to share three FOTDs with you as well, including an orange red one, right after the jump...

Estée Lauder Modern Muse Le Rouge EdP & Pure Color Envy Sculpting Eye Shadow Palette in Pink Mink, Review, Swatch & FOTD

Another week ended *pats herself on the shoulder, opens a champagne and relaxes*

Gosh, you know what happened today? Actually I was wearing the eye shadow palette I will show you today, nude makeup mostly because my lipstick was not reapplied and I was kind of casual chic for work, you know shirt trousers, blouse etc. After work, I went to the shopping center but although I tried really hard, I couldn't buy anything, nothing seemed to work so I decided to buy some nice roses for home and head back home. At the parking lot I just put the roses in the trunk and a guy approached me and asked me if he could invite me for a Prosecco. I was like ?!?! for a moment then I told him I was married *cough cough* and he said thank you and kindly went away. I am wondering if that had to do with me buying roses for myself, he thought I was alone haha.  Anyway I felt like a teen girl again lol. It was definitely a confidence booster ;-)

When I first see the Le Rouge Collection of Esteé Lauder all I wanted to do was to sing ♫"Roxane... You don't have to put on the red lights!".♫... *hums a tune* ♫ Put on the red lights! Put on the red lights! I hate 80s but love love this song! (just checked because it is not 80s but 78 hah!)

Together with the third version of Modern Muse, Le Rouge Eau de Parfum, there are also limited edition make-up products in the collection. Those come in chic red packaging, which is so appropriate for the season. Today I would like to share my thoughts on Pure Color Envy Sculpting Eye Shadow Palette in Pink Mink and Modern Muse Le Rouge EdP.

La Mer Renewal Oil Review

I hope you are all having a wonderful week. It is hump day but since two third of my teaching load is on the last two days of the week, poor me, I have to go on humping as rest of you start getting ready for the weekend. Today it is very rainy and no sight of sun here although the temperatures are still kind of friendly. At such a miserable day, I thought I share some shots I took on a sunny day with flowers at the park. 

Today it is about a new addition to La Mer line, Renewal Oil. After all I am so head over heels with La Mer Illuminating Eye Gel (reviewed here), I could hardly wait for the release of their facial oil, another category of skin care I love. I have been testing the deluxe lab sample which was provided to me for over a month and I would like to share my thoughts about it.

Suqqu Face Designer Concealer Palette and Color Foundation 02 & 03 Review, Swatch & FOTD

I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday. I am regretting a bit that I took the wonderful weather yesterday for granted and didn't really enjoy it as I should. Today it is so rainy and dark, boo! The weather was going so good, I thought it would go on like that forever, too optimistic huh? Anyway the mood somehow fits to what I have to do, prepare lectures! I will start with that right after enjoying some good japanese food we are about to order. I can't wait. Matching to the yummy Nigiri menu, I have the finest cosmetics from Japan for you today.

Suqqu recently extended their complexion line and added a concealer/highlighter palette called Face Designer Concealer which can be customized to match the different complexion and needs. There are also three Color Foundations, which are blush/contour sticks with Suqqu's foundation formula. I was very curious to find out about the interpretation of flawless complexion by one of my favorite brands. After using these over three weeks now, here are my thoughts about the products.

Givenchy Teint Couture #4, Le Rouge #203 Rose Dentelle and Noir Couture Volume #1, Review, Swatches & FOTD

I hope you are having a lovely weekend. In Germany today was the Reunification Day so it was a bank holiday. Sounds great right? Not all that much for me because all the stores are closed. I wanted to treat myself for being able to survive the first week but no chance on that. This weekend we have two Sundays like a person having two left hands! I am hoping to work tomorrow a little and turn my lecture free Monday into a shopping spree kind of day. Wish for the best. I am looking for some comfortable but chic shoes under dress pants. It is always a challenge to get something functional which looks good. 

Today I have three products from Givenchy, a brand you don't see much in this blog. A reason for that is that because in Stuttgart we are lacking a Givenchy counter although they are really no exceptions in Germany in general. Since I can't swatch the products it is hard for me to decide so when I was given the chance to try Givenchy Teint Couture FoundationLe Rouge #203 Rose Dentelle lipstick and Noir Couture Volume #1 Mascara by the lovely Flaconi team, I was glad to do that. Here are my thoughts on these items.

Guerlain Orchidée Impériale The Night Detoxifying Essence Review

I wish you a wonderful start in the weekend. I thought I drop by (my own blog!) and say hi *waves*. I was not around for two days. That was because I have 6 hours of teaching on Thursday and Friday and on Wednesday I don't teach but I have to prepare. Since this is my first year everything is more hectic and busy than it usually will be. I am patting myself on the shoulder for the fact that I survived the first week! I will open a champagne and try to answer the comments later on tonight. By the way you might have noticed that I have written a post on Tuesday which starts like "I hope you are having a wonderful weekend". Gosh, what was I thinking?

Back to the subject of tonight, I thought I show you something extra luxurious and super pretty for the Friday night. I am impressed with almost everything I have tried from the exquisite line of Guerlain Orchiée Impériale. Recently a new product is added to the line, Guerlain Orchidée Impériale The Night Detoxifying Essence, an interesting addition to the night routine to help the skin regenerate faster and get rid of the toxicity of the day. I have been testing it around a month now, here are my thoughts...
