Being all natural with Sleek?
Hello Beauty Junkies ~
I had my eyes on a few sleek products and thought it would be time to get some.
First of all the Au Natural palette. The colours are bloody amazing and the pigmentation is awesome. Yes, I absolutely love this palette. I knew Sleek would be great but I didn't expected this. I can't wait to try this product out. But for I can say Moss and Regal are my favourite colours. ^-^
Next I got two blushes, Pan Tao and Suede out of the Au Natural collection.
Again, the colour are stunning. At first I was put off by the screaming orange of Pan Tao but it looks really nice on the skin. Same goes for Suede, which is a nice nude blush colour.
Last but not least the pout polish from the Au Natural collection. I so fell in love with this polish, I love the colour, it smells like coconut and feels really nice on the lips.
That's it for my sleek haul so far, did anyone purchased these products as well?

German Review: Shining Cosmetics
Hello Beauty Junkies ~
dies ist mal nur an die deutschen Leser gerichtet, die noch auf der Suche nach einem Online-Shop für Sleek Cosmetics u.a. Produkte sind.
Nachdem ich bei Suzi die Au Natural Palette von Sleek gesehen hatte, wollte ich sie vom Fleck weg kaufen. Zwar ermöglicht Sleek es auch Deutschen zu bestellen, doch bin ich etwas vorsichtig, wenn man nur mit Kreditkarte bezahlen kann. Ich bevorzuge die Sicherheiten von Paypal.
Mein lieber Freund Google präsentierte mir den Online-Shop Shining Cosmetics.
Auf der Internetseite findet man nicht nur Sleek Produkte, sondern auch Barry M, China Glaze und essie. Verwundert hat mich, dass Frauke Witzmann, der der Shop gehört, die Produkte minimal günstiger verkauft als Sleek direkt, wenn man bedenkt, dass viele andere Online-Shops horrende Preise verlangen (ich sag nur Douglas und NYX >__<).
Nun aber zur Produktauswahl: da es sich nicht um einen direkten Sleek-Shop handelt, sind leider auch nicht alle Produkte erhältlich, was mich zuerst sehr enttäuscht hat, da ich gerne noch einige andere Dinge kaufen wollte. Vor allem waren gerade die Pigmente, die schon seit Urzeiten auf meiner Wunschliste stehen, ausverkauft.
Dennoch wird dieser Shop meine erste Adresse sein, wenn ich Sleek/Barry M kaufen möchte.
Der Kontakt ist super freundlich, man wird über den Zustand der Bestellung informiert und erhält sogar einen DHL Code um sie zu verfolgen - wobei das nicht mal notwendig ist, da die Lieferung innerhalb von 24h bei einem zu Hause ankommt. Und das für sehr minimale Portokosten.
Alles in allem: ★★★★☆
Punktabzug gibt es wirklich nur für die manchmal eingeschränkte Produktauswahl, alle anderen Faktoren könnten nicht besser sein!

ELF Haul
Hello Beauty Junkies ♥
I cleaned my brushes the other day and while doing so I decided to get some new ones. Also when I still have my eyes on the sigma brushes I can't afford them right now, so I purchased a few from elf again.
I love these simple eye shadow brushes, they are easy to work with, don't have too much fall outs and you can use them in different ways.
Besides the two eye shadow brushes I also got this blending brush. The one I have right now is from HK, it's average for blending but bloody awful when it comes to picking up a new colour because most of it falls out. The elf blending brush seems nice, not as fluffy as I think it would be, but definitely better than my old one.
Furthermore I got my hands on the Studio Line blush, I picked up Candid Coral. I love coral toned blushes the most and this one looked really nice.
The swatch isn't that mind blowing though, but I hope it will be higher pigmented when I apply it on the cheeks. Actually it is almost the same colour as MAC melba... it only has a sheen to it.
But what I really love the most is that elf always sends sweeties with each order

Review: Artdeco All in One Mascara in Black
Hello Beauty Junkies,
I have another review for you guys. This time it's about the All In One Mascara by Art Deco.
Since I am a big fan of mascara I love to try out new ones and when I saw this one in my Glossybox from July I immediately gave it a try.
It contains among other things Panthenol, Hydrogenated Olive Oil and Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Wax, so it's recommendable when you have sensitive skin or frail lashes.
This mascara is available in six different shades: black, grey, brown, blue, olive and berry. It promises to be a long lasting mascara which helps your lashes to appear longer, fuller and at the same time maintain their flexibility and curl. When you live in Germany you can purchase it at Douglas for € 12,80 (~ $19, ~ £11).
My thoughts...
... on the packaging. The design is simple yet doesn't look cheap, I like the black and silver packaging.
... on the texture, colour and smell. I can't say anything about the other colours, but this one is a nice deep black, the texture is creamy and smooth and I love the smell of this mascara. It doesn't have this average chemical smell, instead it reminds me of a moisturiser, I can't really tell, but it's really nice.
... the mascara itself. I hate it when I have to wipe of some of the product on a tissue before I can apply it and this is what happened when I used the mascara the first times. The mascara does go on clean if you wipe off the excess product otherwise your lashes will clump together. To be honest I don't really see a great difference in terms of volume, but this mascara does lengthen my lashes. It stays on the whole day and doesn't smudge (I wore it on a hot day in summer) which is a big plus.
... on the remove. It's easy to remove, I can't say whether you can wash it off with water easily because I always use a make up remover, but you won't have to rub it off.
All in all this is a nice product. I don't mind that it doesn't separate the lashes perfectly, it does lengthen them well and won't run off.
Nevertheless I wouldn't buy it. Why? Because I already have my all time favourite mascara in terms of long lashes and I need a product which is waterproof. However I can recommend this mascara, it's not as cheap as other drug store products but I think it does it job for it's price.

Review: L'Oreal Hydra Active 3
Hello Beauty Junkies ~
Normally I use my Vichy Aqualia Thermal as my daily moisturiser, but I wanted to try out a drug store product, so I bought this:
L'Oreal Hydra Active 3. It's another version of the Hydrafresh moisturiser for dry and sensitive skin which you get in the UK and I think also in the US.
Even when my skin tends to break out sometimes, it's more on the dryer site and can be really sensitive.
Why did I bought this one and not another drug store product? Well my mum had this too so when I stayed at my parent's house the last time I tried it out a few times (sorry mum) and liked it a lot.
L'Oreal Hydra Active 3 is a good quality moisturiser, it is easy to apply which you can use both as a day and night time moisturiser. It spreads pretty smoothly, it isn't greasy and has SP 15 - which isn't high but it's better than nothing and definitely a benefit. Nevertheless for me it's too heavy to use it in the morning, I have the feeling my skin can't absorb the cream quickly enough for me to apply foundation afterwards.
My skin feels smooth and hydrated, this moisturiser is a good deal for a drug store product. I often apply it in the evening after showering and wake up with a really nice skin in the morning. Furthermore it doesn't break me out.
So all in all it's a great moisturiser for less money, but when you need more moisture you should choose another cream.

Bobbi Brown or MAC?
Hello Beauty Junkies ~
This is really random, so don't expect too much. :)
My birthday was on Sunday and apart from the fact that I had lots of fun with my friends I also got a gift coupon from douglas. My friend knows that I love make up and I always purchase more and more, so this was pretty much the best gift she could get me.
But now I'm kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place... what should I get?
Since I saw this lippie on Suzi's blog I always wanted to get my hands on it. Don't ask me why I haven't bought it yet, I just didn't got it. I love this colour, it's bold yet classy.
On the other hand I read good reviews about this product. You can either use it as blush but also as a lippie. But I still don't know which colour I should get...
Or should I get both?
