Happy holidays!

Dear fellow bloggers, dear (8) followers,
I hope you had a lovely Christmas and will be spending a lovely New Year as well!

I have been lazy on updates again, I know, and I'm really sorry, but I was busy. Yeah, that's what they all say. :(
Plus, every time I say, write or even just think my skin finally looks better, I get the most horrible breakout! >.<

Anyway, I bought some beauty items lately (as gifts to myself, hehe) which I will review when I get them. Even managed to find two dicontinued shades of Majolica Majorca single eyeshadows I've been wanting (light green and aqua blue) and the Lavshuca Dual Prism Eyes in PU-1. Now all I still want is the Color Select quad in PU-1 (I already have PU-2, which replaced PU-1 last year, I think, but I want the older purple one anyway.) If anyone wants to sell theirs, let me know! ;)

I do have one eye of the day pic for you from last week, when I really wanted something springish to counteract the coldness and snow here.

Don't my lashes look great? It's Majolica Majorca's Lash Gorgeous Wing, of course! Unfortunately, the eye shadow colours wouldn't show up no matter from which angle and with which light I tried it. :(

Sorry for the blurry pic. See the break-out on my jaw-line? >.<

Items used: I applied the top left light green shade from the Coffret d'Or palette in the outer 2/3 of my eye, over the pink Viseé palette.

    Hi Julia,

    I hope you will find Lavshuca's Eye Color Select in PU-1! It didn't appeal to me at the time when it was available, but now I really like the look of it (after discovering that dark blue suits me as an eyelining shade)!

    Dear PJ,

    thanks for stopping by at my blog although there isn't much going on at the moment! That's very kind of you. (^.^)

    One girl on MUA had it in her swatch list, but she hasn't answered my inquiry yet. I hope she will, though!

    It looks like we do have similar tastes in make-up, don't we? Btw, I've been wearing the lovely Coffret d'Or palette a lot since got it - the colours look a bit like the sky shortly before Twilight, I think. ^^;

    Thanks for your comment!

    That's a very pretty palette! Majolica Majorca is actually one (in my opinion) of the better brands at the drugstore, hehe :)

    Dear Musicalhouses,

    thank you for stopping by!
    Today, I had to take photos for my ID card, and thanks to your tips, the photographer was very content with me - she said many people forget to powder their face and look all shiny and glittery.

    @ Lila:

    Vielen Dank!
    Leider bin ich momentan im Unistress, meine Haut zickt UND die dämliche Kamera will keine ordentlichen Bilder mehr machen, aber ich bemühe mich, ab und zu was hochzuladen. ^^;
    Hast du bestimmte Fragen oder Dinge, die dich interessieren?
    Ich habe schon überlegt, mal meine Lieblingsprodukte vorzustellen, so als Einstiegstipp.

    Jedenfalls vielen Dank fürs Reinschauen! <3
    LG Julia

Green-tinted sunscreens - a comparison

Image
 I know I have not posted anything in years, because I was busy and because I started mostly exchanging beauty information with people on Reddit, but this seemed like the easiest format for this sunscreen comparison. For those who are new here, or have forgotten who I am (I wouldn't blame you), I am very pale (I wear Pale in Nyx) with a neutral undertone, but a lot of redness in my face, while my neck is more olive-toned. (I match foundation to my neck, not my chest, because I don't often expose the latter. for various reasons.) Green-toned sunscreens have intrigued me from the moment I first saw one - after all, I wear sunscreen every day, so why not use it to color-correct? Turns out, it's not that easy. Most of us know by now that sunscreen needs to be applied in generous amounts to actually protect us, but some of the sunscreens I tested made that pretty hard. If I applied too much at once, they got patchy and streaky , but if I tried to apply them in two or three layer...

Share: Do you have any skin allergies?

Luckily, I don't have any (known) food allergies, nor do I suffer from hay fever or the likes. I am, however, very sensitive to skin care and make-up ingredients, it seems. During my four weeks of "holiday" between the end of the semester and the start of my internship on Tuesday, I was mostly at home, and my skin greatly improved from not wearing make-up and sunscreen all the time. Yet, when I did go out and thus put on my BB cream (I still owe you a review, I know!), I had a new breakout. :( Both my sunscreens and the Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream contain zinc oxide, and I know that ParisB from mywomenstuff is, for example, sensitive to it, despite people usually claiming it to be good for the skin. So at the moment, I am testing out my skin's reaction to it. After all, it might be something else in the ingredients list, right? I also have the feeling that I get little breakouts after using Hada Labo's Super Hyaluronic Acid Lotion, so I am doing a little tri...

Skin care - about Sekkisei

As I mentioned before, I have purchased the trial set for Sekkisei (to celebrate their 25th Anniversary) last week and have been using it since then, together with another Kosé moisturizer (that smells the same as Sekkisei and is also said to have whitening effects.) I have also been using their sun lotion since late March and just started my second bottle a little while ago. When I googled for Sekkisei's ingredient's, I came across this very handy site: Sun lotion ingredients and their level of irritation and comedogenic effects I didn't get any more acne from it, as the comedogenic levels are only 2, and also no irritation despite it having some level 4 ingredients. Lucky! I also typed in the lotion and the emulsion . So far, it feels like my skin is getting better from the use of the products. My skin got some pimples, which rarely happens, but maybe that's because the cream is too thick for my oily t-zone, or maybe because both lotion and emulsion contain ...
