Catching up: new cosmetics and recents pics

I have not posted for such a long time.
But it didn't really happen so much. Just work, work and again work... ;__;

But I have bought some new cosmetics recently:

This is my new Dior BB-Cream. I had one from Estee Lauder before but this one is much better since the color is much lighter and it is more moisturizing.

For birthday I got some new perfume and eyeshadow:

And here some recent pictures:

Diamond puff compact powder review

Last sunday I received my diamond puff powder.
I got it from Alina who bought if for my directly in Japan.
Until now I haven't seen the compact arround in online shops, only the loose powder is avaliable at shoppingholics or ichibankao.

There are two shades avaliable, one with pink and one with purple labeling. I got the pink one claims to be "transparent" (which it is obviously not) and the violett one says "mat dolly".

The retails price is 1260yen in Japan.

So first of all this is the packageing:

I really like it becaus it looks very valueable. Much better than for example those of candy doll face products which look very cheap in my eyes.

On the lid there is the logo fairy with a little rhinestone:

(quite difficult to capture that >.<)

It also has a mirror inside and a nice soft puff:

Now to the powder itself:

I tried to capture the colour as good as possible here: 

(it looks a bit dark here but it is really light and a slight bit yellowish it also has some little sparkling particles but only very few which I couldn't capture in picture)

This is on my bare skin without any makup:

I think it has a quite high opacity for a powder and also it blends in with my skincolour perfectly. (I'm very light skintype)

The consistence is also verry nice and silky and not that dry, though its a bit more dry than the mineralize powder from mac. (But the mineralize has less opacity)

Overall I'm very much satisfied with this product and it will definetly replace the mac mineralize in my makupcase, mostly for two reasons which are the better opacity when I wear it alone and also because the packaging is much nicer and comes with a mirror.

Also the price is very reasonable since it is only about 11€.

I really didn't expect to get such a great product for that low price.

Short meetup and package

Yesterday I went to the NRW meetup in Cologne together with Svenja.
We arrived late so we only meet the others at the Cafe and didn't stay long.
I only got one pic that looks ok:

Today I meet with Alina, Binh and Sascha in Duesseldorf again but we only walked arround and didn't buy anything. XD
This was the last time I saw Sascha before Christmans since he will return to Dresden tomorrow. T__T

When I got home from Duesseldorf my package from Ichibankao was there!^^
I oredered some bottom-lashes and the new Candy Doll lipstick.

The lashes look really great, here is a closeup:

The lipstick somewhat dissapointed me since it is not really visible on me since the colour is nearly the same as my natural lip colour.
The consistence is quite good though, it has a matte finish wich I personaly like, but well the colour is just wrong for me....

Recent purchases

Last week I went to the city in Krefeld and Essen and made a very short trip to Duesseldorf to go to OCS.

Since my hair is in a bad condition at the moment I bought trial sizes of shampoo and conditioner-spray from sexy hair:

 

The shampoo is not that stunning. For my taste it's a little to dry (even though it is a moisturing one) and it's hard to get it foaming enough.
The spray-conditioner is really great! You can feel the effect directly after the first application and it's smell is really delicious. Sadly it is quite expensive. (300ml for 19,90€) but I think I will purchase the big one never the less since it is really sort of a wonder-treatment.

When I went to Essen I explored the new Kiko shop in the Limburger-Platz-Arcaden.
I never saw this brand or their shops bevor but I think it has some really nice products. I purchased a big powder-brush:

It is really smooth which suprised me, considering the quite good price. It is synthetic hair but of very good quality. (I would compare it with MACs LE-Brushes)
Price was 15,60€ or something...

In Duesseldorf I got the new ageha:

It has some really nice makeup-tutorials in it (as usual) and also some tests / comparison of different eyeliners and fake lashes.


Also the last week I really bend my head because I want to buy a new mobile phone but I can't decide between Motorola Backflip and Palm pre plus.
The Palm is better from point of hardware and basic softwear features but the Motorola has this verry cool moto-blur messaging funktions.
What do you think which one is better??

Candy Doll lip-concealer review

I promised to do a review of the Candy Doll lip-concealer a while ago so now I here you go:

Candy Doll lip-concealer:

Packaging:

This is how the packaging lookes like. Verry cute I think.

(This is a promotional pic from candy doll)

Price:

The origal retail price is 1260yen in Japan. On ichibanko I paid 1900yen including oversa-shipping.

I think the price is not a bargain but quite ok, though I was a bit dissapointed of the actual size which is verry small.

Look:

It has a medium shinny effect and a tiny shimmer.

For my skincolour it matches perfectly but I would not recomend it for dark skin types.

Feel:

The texture is very comfortable on the lips, it has a bit of a creamy feeling and is not sticky at all, which really supprised me positively. The sticky feel is just what I always dislike at lipglosses but this one is just perfect. I never tried a gloss that is as perfect non-sticking like this.

The only not so much positive is that the smell is not that nice.

Overall rating:

  I really like it and would really rbuy it again, the price is ok for what you get and the qaulity of the product is really good. Only with dark skin you may get colour-matching problems.

Taaaagged!
