January Lovers

I love favorites posts, but I have been so lazy with blogging I feel like I did not do one for ages. But here we go, my make up favorites for this month!

In an order to empty all my open foundations I onl used one this month Catrice's Infinite Matt Foundation, I still really like it for an everyday use, but it has a few flaws I have to admit, it wears off pretty quickly and sometimes rests in wrinles which does not look perfect. But all in all for that price it is a great product.
When it comes so setting foundation I only used my beloved Manhattan Clearface Powder in Vanilla. I've been using this powder for years but I tend to try out new ones from time to time. But at the moment I just love this one, perfect for pale and oily skin.
Speaking of pale, to make my face more alive I use bronzer and for several months now it is NARS Laguna. It is such a nice product, which blends perfectly and makes me look healthy and fresh. For me it is the perfect bronzer.

I've been swithcing my eyeshadows pretty daily, and I use a lot more pigments now, which I love. But an eyeshadow which is a lot used every month is MAC's Mineralized Eyeshadow in Guilt by assosicaion. Love the gold shimmer and the color in general. Perfect for darker eyes!
Another product which I use everyday is from the same brand MAC's MSF in Porcelain pink. I just use it on top of my blush and it makes a nice glow and adds freshness. Soft and gentle is also a nice option and this one is not limited.

When it comes to my lips, well I think lipsticks are my biggest weakness and so I have loads of them. But my all time favorite was uite often use this month, so I am going to list it here. It is Chanel's Madmoissel. Like I said one of m all time favorites, a nce sophisticated color to look fabolous!

That is it for this month, for the new month I will try to use more cream blushes, we will see in the next favorites how that worked out.

Fairwell!

Empties #5

Instead of showing my empties monthly I will do it now from time to time when I feel like I have enough stuff to show you! So here we go, I have been quite busy using all my back up stuff, to finally get a bit more room in my closet.

Hair Care

# Schauma Fresh it up Shampoo: I haven't use the brand for a while and I remembered why, though the smell is nice and there are no silicons in the product it makes my hair very hard to handle the next day, it is just standing up everywhere. Definately no repurchase.

#Schauma Fresh it up Conditioner: Lovely smell and a decent care effect but I could not find a improvement to the ceaper Balea conditioners. No repurchase here as well.

Body Care

#Isana Snow storm shower gel: Loved the smell but still hate the consistancy of Isana shower gels. It was limited anyway, so no repurchase

#Litamin Lemon & Buttermilk shower peeling: Lovely smell, nice peeling effect! Very happy with this one, might buy it again when some of my other stuff is used up.

#Balea Cream Shower: I am a huge fan of the bodylotion so I tried this one out. The care effect is super nice, the smell great but it is so hard to get the product out which is the deal breaker here for me.

#Balea Cream Oil Bodylotion: I usually buy the yellow one but it was sold out so I went fpr the green one which is also a great product, I just prefer the smell of the other one and already have another one of this in use. Love it.

#Isana Med Deo: Without alcohol and aluminium, great product perfect for sensitive skin. Already repurchased.

#Rexona Maximum protection: Favorite Deo in the world but it is rather expensive so I am currently trying some cheaper ones but otherwise always worth a repurchase.

#Wilkinson Xtreme Sword 3: Best disposable razors, will repurchase them when they are on sale again.

#Balea Bath Salts: I used way more than those also from other brands but I kinda threw them away. Those are really great and so cheap.

#Loccitane Hand Cream: It's empty, and I am kinda sad, I still have the huge version of it but this one was always in my handbag. At the moment I am using less pricy handcreams but I would buy it again some day.


Face Care

#bebe youn care quick and clean: Horrible product, it is not really empty but I cannot use it anymore made my skin so much worse. No repurchase.

#Balea Soft and Clear Nigh Cream: Amazing product, already using a new one.

#Balea Soft and Clear Spot Gel: Same as the night cream, helps me on a bad skin day, already repurchased.

#Garnier Anti Spot Gel: Basically the same as the Balea one but more pricy, I will stick with the cheaper version.

#Maybelline Eye make up Remover wp: Favorite EMR, but I am using cheaper ones at the moment and they are also working fine so no more repurchases for the moment.

#Isana Med Cleansing wipes (2x): Holy grail. Don't buy anything else anymore.

Other

#Lilibe Maxi Cotton Pads: always use this or the ebelin ones for cleaning my face, repurchase for sure

#Lilibe Super soft cotton pads: my to go product for removing eye make up, already repurchased

#Lilibe cotton pads Aloe Vera: did not like them at all, they fell apart while using them

#ebelin cosmetic wipes: no preferences here I just like nice designs

That was it for now.
Have a great evening!

Favoritaaaaas 2013

It's been quite a while I know, moving, christmas, you know the drill but I wanted to get started with something I love to read on every blog I follow - favorites. So here we go, get a cup of tea and get ready to be favotitized!

Skincare

Isana Med Cleansing Wipes: I just love them, never had better ones and I stopped buying other ones. I use them to fresh up my face or remove make up (before washing my face). They are super soft, thick and very moist. Also they are perfect for sensitive skin, usually wipes make my eye area burn but not this ones. You can get them in Rossmann ( available in Germany, Austria, Poland, Czech Republic and Turkey and maybe more countries), if they are on offer they are priced under one Euro which is super good when you are on a budget.

Balea Soft & Clear Night Cream, Anti Spot Gel, Cleansing water: I used this range a while back and after they canged the packaging it got my attention again. The night cream is very nice if you have issues with spots and sinks in very nicely. The toning water is good to clear up the skin after cleaning and the spot gel is my kind warrior against evil spots. All available under 2 Euro from DM (available in most west slavic countries).

Avene TriAcneal: When my skin is in a bad place this is a go to product, it is not very cheap but it lasts ages. Also good for akne scaring. You can get it at almost any pharmacy or order it online from probably any country in the world.

Rival de Loop Clean & Care Eye Make up Remover: I do love my Maybelline eye make up remover but I need quite a lot of that stuff so I decided to go a bit cheaper. Rossmann offers two very nice EMR oil free and the oily one. I use both and I am pleased with it.

Balea Creme Oil Bodylotion: I love this stuff. It's only available in winter so if you like it as much as I do buy some more before they put it out of the shelves. Cheap, and very very moisturizing. And the smell is amazing too.

Sebamed Q10 Eye Cream: One of the best eye creams I tried this year. Available in pharmacies and drugstores.

Hair Care

Garnier Fructis "Schadenlöscher": Fell in love with the whole series, at the moment my holy grail is the hair oil with heat protection. Not sure if the product series is available outside of Germany but it should. Keep looking out for bright orange packaging.

Tony and Guy Prep Leave in Conditioner: Finally available in Germany. Love this leave in stuff, in Germany you can buy it at Rossmann and in the UK at Boots, or just order it. Pricy but worth the money. I use it for my dry ombred ends before blow drying.

Make Up

Alterra Blush Natural Berry: Not available anymore I think but I just used this one so much throughout the year, such a great berry color! Works well with my berry lipsticks as well.

MAC MSF Porcelain Pink: I have way too much MSF's and this year I decided to really use them instead of being scared they could get empty. Used it almost every day over my blush and I really love the effect it gives my face, looks more fresh and healthy.

NARS Laguna Bronzer: It was in my collection uite some while before I discovered it for me and now it is one of my daily products. I am very pale but this products makes my face look so much more alive. And it lasts quite a while which makes the price a bit less painful.

Maxfactor Burnt Bark Eyeshadow: Probably the only eyeshadow I can list here since I used it so much in comparison to all my other ones. Similar to Satin Taupe by MAC this eyeshadow is just super awesome, easy to blend and super for everyday looks or even for night time with a nice winged liner. If you look for a allrounder pick this one up! NOW!

Benefit They are Real Mascara: One of my most used Mascaras, generally I use more waterproof Mascaras but this one does a good job despite being not waterproof.

Catrice Eyebrow Pencil Date with Ashton: Every day product, perfect color for me.

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Pencils: I just love them, for my eyery day look i use them as a quick eyeliner and they last so well. Favorite colors Bourbon, Stash and Underground. I also still adore my MAC Coffee Pencil.

I guess that is quite enough. What were your loved products?  Let me know!

Empties #4

Here are my finished products for September, one shampoo is missing because my dad wanted to do something good and clean my rubbish up. But it was not a very good one anyway, so not a big loss for this post.

Hair

Balea Color Protect Conditioner: I was quite surprised, that this product is actually quite good for such a small price, the shampoos of this range do usually not work for me. If you can look over the quite artificial coco smell, this is a great budget product, which you can probably get in every country there is DM. Might buy it again some time too.

Garnier Fructis Oil Repair 3 Conditioner: Like you already know I love the orange range of Fructis, but this "miracle" conditioner is not better than the usual one, next time I will buy the normal one again, just a waste of money if you ask me.

Balea Deep Cleansing Shampoo: I am trying to finish up all my shampoo stuff, I am such a horder. Was a pretty good shampoo for oily hair, i just use shampoo for my roots, this is why I do empty more conditioner. But it's is not a product I am desperate to buy again.

Body

Isana Nail polish remover: All time favorite, my nails actually get better with the aceton remover, because I do not have to rub that much. Very good stuff.*

Balea Deo Rasperry & Lemongrass: What a lovely smell, that's why I bought it in the first place, I use Deo Spray just to fresh up, the hard work does my Rexona Maximum Protect. The Balea Deo is also free of Alluminium stuff but contains alcohl, so not nice after shaving believe me. Since they change the smells that often I do not think I will buy this again, I am happy with my current one.

Treaclemoon My Coconut Island: Took me a while to finish 500ml shower creme, but this stuff is very nice, smells incredible and moisturizes well. I will buy it again some time for sure but first I also need to finish up my shower gel stock.

Garnier Bodylotion Intense 7 days with Mango Oil: My mom recommended this to me and it is not bad, I am trying the Hydra Express right now which is even quicker soaking into my skin. But this one is a good product. But not my favorite smell and not rich enough for the winter time for my skin.

Face

Nivea Clear up Stripes: They don't do anything for me, bad product in my opinion. I am currently trying cheaper ones which are much better, might show them next month. Will not buy the Nivea ones again.

L'Oreal Hydra Active 3 Day: I do not know when I finished a face cream the last time, I usually decide to use another one and never finish them up. I liked the cream in general, was hydrating and gentle but the glass packaging is incredible uncomfortable. I still have some other creams to use up before I think about repurchases.

Balea Med Soap free cleaning lotion: Oldie but Goldie. Use it every day for quite a while now, to clean my face and remove the last make up. Perfect for sensitive skin. Already in stock again.*

Rival de Loop Fruit Acid Peeling: Hyped as a dupe to the REN peeling, I bought this one before I knew it was supposed to be so special. It's recommended for 30+ skin but who really does care? I use it and I adore it, maked the skin feel incredible. Just repurchased it again today, it's very cheap (about 2 Euro) and lasts ages. Try it if you have a Rossmann near.

The other stuff

Wilkinson Extreme 3 razors: Always use those, but this one wear with coconut smell, I just bought them because they were on sale, razors with smell, does it get more studip? But good razors in general.*

Qtips: I don't like the cheaper cotton buds. Those are the only ones I use, love them.*

ebelin cotton pads: Finished them with my mom, not my favorites, but ok for a uick clean up of nail polish.*

Lilibe Maxi Cotton pads: My go to pads for cleansing.*

That's it!

Let's see what I got next month (post might be coming later since I move start of November)
