Mini Haul

Here's a mini haul of some things i've picked up recently in stockholm and hannover, mostly makeup. i finally was able to get to MAC (there isn't one in bremerhaven) and spent way too much money. but im a beauty-ish blogger right? so it's all good. here's my goodies:

my blowdryer is kaputt and i've heard nothing but good things about this french brand, babyliss, so i figured i'd give it a shot at 20 euros! plus it comes with a diffuser attachment, which is a must for any curly-haired girl ;)

these cut out boot/sandals are PERFECT in every way and i love them. i will wear the hell out of them this spring/summer. perfect with shorts, jeans, skirts, dresses, you name it. and super comfy! they're available here in black and white so if you're interested go take a peak :)

ahh the holy grail. 

from MAC: we've got their bronzing powder in matte bronze, 

studio fix powder foundation in NC 43.5, 

face and body foundation in c6, 

lingering eyebrow pencil, 

candy yumyum lipstick 

and prep+prime highlighter in bright forecast. 

I also picked up some duo eyelash glue, 3 pairs of ardell falsh lashes (i'm wearing the third pair right now hihi),

 a highlighting concealer from artdeco in #7, 

essence viva brasil blush in sao paulo, 

isa dora lipstick in red carpet, 

and FINALLY benefits the porefessional. i have huge pores and have been dying to try this (expensive) product.

( i know the products aren't numbered but i hope you can follow the list anyway!)

what products have yall been loving lately? any recent purchases?

lip products

so i've recently accumulated a decent amount of new lip colours so i thought i would share them with you guys and show some swatches. be prepared for lots of red, coral and pink, because i'm preparing for spring :)

from L to R: 

Essence - cotton candy #10; Maybelline passion red #535; maybelline super stay 14hr lipstick infinitely fuschia #160

from L to R:

Essence xxxl longlasting lipgloss (no colour name); rival de loop young parisienne #26; maybelline color sensational schocking coral #910; astor heidi collection #003 cheeky

with the exception of the rival de loop (it was 1 euro), they're all very creamy and smooth on the lips and the color payoff is great. most of the photos were only one swatch. overall, i'm happy with my purchases :)

xo,
