March Lovers

It too me a ahile but here there are my monthly favorites! I am going to divide it into 3 categories from now on, so I can include a few non beaty favorites! Enjoy.

Decorative cosmetics


# L'Oreal Miss Manga Mascara / for a not waterproof mascara it holds the curl pretty well and makes a nice job, did not wear a lot other mascaras in March

#MUA Pro-Brow Kit / I came back to use powder for my brows this month, it just looks a bit more flawless and natural, mixing the two upper colors gives a nice match for my brows.

#P2 Imressive gel Kajal's / since they deserve a own post I will not say too much. Just love them, easy to apply and they hold so well.

#Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation / is my current go to foundation, as you know I am trying to empty my open foundations slowly but besides that the Rimmel foundation is amazing, i really do love it, shame that Rimmel was discontinued from Germany but I know you can get it for sure un UK, PL and CZ.

#Rival de Loop Cupcake LE blush 01 sweety / Of course I do use a lot of different blushes throughout the month but this one was quite often in use since I got it. If you can get your hands on it buy it!




Skin/Hair Care


#Phyto 7 / nice addition to my usual hair care, moisturizes very well. But I am still nit sure if 50ml are worth 14€, if you have very thick hair and need a lot of product.

#Rival de Loop Pure Skin Day Cream / I love the light formula, the fresh smell and how nicely it moisturizes without making my skin more oily. The price is super nice as well. Only minus is the missing SPF but since my foundation has one of 18 it is fine at the moment.

#SebaMed Q10 Eyecream / this is actually a long time favorite. On my journey through eye creams this is the very best I tested so far. Use it every night.



Lifestyle favorites


I am a TV show and movie freak, so this will be all about this topic.
Well Suits Season 3 came finally back from the break and since I am a Suits fan from day one, I absolutely love it. Makes my day.
Another show I am loving is of course Supernatural! Can you believe it has been 9 years?! Unbelievable. Well I decided to get started from Season one again and watch it up to the end of the 9th Season when it's finished … without any breaks it would take me about a week. Nice.
This week was the first week without Brooklyn Nine-Nine, feels weird. Funny how quickly those nerds grew on my. Looking very much forward to Season two.
And of course FOX showed us one again how bad their taste is with cancelling ALMOST HUMAN ?! What is wrong with them?
The Blacklist keeps getting more and more exciting, I really start liking the show! Who can say no to Agent Ressler?!



Ok that's it for now I hope you like my new system.



Horder confessions

Hey guys, so I have a confession to make, I am a HORDER! Yes it's true and one of the reasons why I need to make empty posts to motivate myself to empty things. I imroved a lot during the years but still there are some products I always have stocked up, which I want to show you!
All pictures are from my contemporary stock :D


#1 Cosmetic wipes
First I have to explain I use cosmtic wipes for everything from when I do my make up after using them as normal tissues and now that hay fever season started my consume will increase even more. I need at least two packages of back ups while having two open. It's nuts but hey...



#Cleansing wipes
Well they are my fovorites and I use them every day so I always have back ups, when they sell them for 99 cents I usally buy a bunch of them so I feel safe and I also save money. Smart or what.



#Shower gel
I always try not to buy new ones but then … the voice in my head tells me I need to. And I usually follow the voice. Well at least I am never smelly and it's nice to have some in stock as a last minute present.



#Cotton pads
Same situation as the cleansing wipes, I always use them same brand and when they are on offer at Rossmann I buy in advance to not come into the postion of buying others or spending 20 cents more.

Round cotton pads lilibe and maxi ones ebelin (DM)


#Bodylotion
Well I am just a horder when it comes to my favorite Oil and Cream Lotion from Balea which is only available during winter so I stocked up a few back ups because I love it a lot also during the warmer seasons. Other than that I never have loads of body lotions.



#Shampoo and Conditioner
Sometimes when I see a good offer I just buy without thinking „Mhm well I have already enough!“ I imroved over the years but I still have way too much.

Garnier Avocado & Karite Butter, Phyto, Balea Long and Beautiful, Fructis, TBS Banana


#Eyemakeup remover
Again when they are on offer I buy some. I only use Rival de Loop since I am allergic to most others. And since I need them basically every day, I empty them quite quickly.

Rival de Loop Eyemakeup remover left one oil free, 3 on the right with oil


These are pretty much my hording hot spots.

What are you hording?

First Impression: Rival de Loop Young's New Products

Rival de Loop Young changed their whole counter at Rossmann. They have a lot of new products. In general it is the kind of brand for younger crowds but they have some really nice products for a very small price. So I thought I want to test some things, I already love the eyeshadow base. So I bought a lipstick and a foundation. Here are some of my first impressions, this will not be a review since I had no chance to test them yet.

#Rival de Loop Young Lipstick 09 moulin rouge (1,69€)


The packaging is bright pink and even though it does not look very sophisticated, I like it way more than a lot of other packaging from expensive brands.. There are some sparkly colours as well but I fell in love with moulin rouge aa dark redish berry color. The lipstick has a sweet smell, a bit liek chewing gum, not really my thing but it is not very strong and once applied you dont notice it anymore. The color applies very smoothly to the lips, it is surprisingly creamy and the pigmentation is very nice. The finish is similar to MAC's amplified I would say. I has really dry lips when I tried this one and they looked very nice with the lipstick and felt moisturized. So overall I can't wait to wear it more often.
The only issue might be that it is a bit too cremy and does not last very long but anyway with under 2 Euro it does not hurt that bad.







#Rival de Loop Young Fresh Kick Make-up 01 Natural (1,99€)
Since all my light weight foundations are empty I thought this one sounded quite good. The color did not look perfect but since it is more like a BB creamit blends in prettyy well, so I hope with powder it will look ok. But for all you really bright ladies, it will be probably too dark.
The consistancy is pretty thick and the smell is nice subtile like a face cream. But I have to say my packaging was broken the pump mechanism did not work, so I replaced it, I hope it is just m product but I wanted to mention it anyway. I had packiging errors with pump foundation before so I am not too surpised but with this price, if the product is nice and it was a one time thing I will be able to get past that. The coverage is light to medium. I will tell you more after trying it.

Did you get some of the new products? I am not too sure if they are only avaiblable in Germany.
