Review: L'Oreal Super Liner Black Lacquer

Running out of eyeliner I was forced to my gel eyeliner I bought from Hong Kong, and well, I hate gel eyeliner, it just never stays on my eyes and smudges wherever it can go.
When I saw a similiar eyeliner on Suzi's blog I decided to give L'Oreal a chance. Lately I used a lot of their products and liked them a lot so far.

What L'Oreal claims: 
Superliner is a liquid eyeliner in a special sponge tipped pen for the creation of fine lines or thick, sultry flicks. Colour is applied with precision and ease and dries without smudging. 

My thoughts:
I love this product. The tip applicator makes it really easy to line the eyes, whether you want a thin and fine line or go for a thick cat-eye look. It stays on all day long and doesn't smudge yet it's easy to remove in the night. First I was afraid of the vinyl shine but you can barely see it plus it does look really beautiful. If you look for an eyeliner right now but don't have a lot of experience try this one. This eyeliner is by far the easiest in terms of handling.

Indulge me #2

Sincerity and compromises.

Today is one of those days where I again think way too much about people and life in general. Rain has always this unbelievable power on me to doubt everything I'm doing and living for.
First of all I wonder whether I really take myself seriously. I always thought I do, however today I realise if I do, why do I spend so much time watching TV, dreaming and counting the time to see someone special when I should better put my life together.
Don't misunderstand me, it's not that out of control, but there are still some pieces which fly around. Making myself happy is something I learnt some months ago, yet right now I catch myself how I base my whole happiness and life on someone. You should never do that, once this special person acts different or, even worse, walks out of your life, you're screwed. Like really screwed. Fucked up. Seriously.
Life is passing me by and once again I realise I am not enjoying it the way I should.

This has to end now, because I can't control how everything will turn out. Here I mean my relationship and the future it may contain. Is it weird that I think about the next three, five and ten years? Is it wrong? Should I better live my life to the fullest now instead of imagine how it may turn out?

Being in a relationship isn't a one way thing, rather it has to be done with a mutual understanding. Am I too negative to keep in mind everything will run smoothly and that I will always be happy? Both of us are different, we think different, live different. My ideals may not be his ideals. I am aware that not everything will go my way and I have to accept it. Making compromises is something I still have to learn, but at the same time I have to find out what I expect from him, from me and from my life.


Instead of stuff myself with chocolate or other sweet stuff I decided to buy me some berries. 

I love shakes especially with berries, they always cheer me up plus they are healthy. If I could afford it I would eat them the whole day.

I'm going to end this post with two of my current favourite songs, both from the "The Greatest Love" OST.





This drama as well as the OST is amazing, I really enjoy watching it. It is worth every single minute. When you're interested in korean dramas and have some free time on your hands right now, go and watch it! You won't regret it. (◕‿◕✿)

Review: Nivea Straight & Easy Straightener Balm

What Nivea claims: 

Straight & Easy Straightening Balm guarantees straight, shiny hair immediately and long-lastingly. It guarantees easier and faster straightening with a hairdryer, without the need of a brush. Straight & Easy Balm protects your hair effectively from humidity and thus makes the straight effect last longer. 


My thoughts: I hate this product. I bought it because my hair isn't naturally straight yet not curly, just wavy here and there. However I don't like to use too much heat on my hair so I thought this balm might be the perfect alternative. I applied it as I should, after washing my hair I wrapped it up in a towel until it was damp, then I applied the product while combing with a wide toothed comb to distribute it evenly. Last but not least I blow dried it using a big round brush. The result was disappointing not only because my hair wasn't straight but also because it was sticky and you could feel the product in it. I only used this balm onced, I guess it will meet my dustbin soon.

Glossybox April 2012

Just a few pictures from the recent Glossybox (German version). I actually love the idea of getting a package every month with some nice products to try out. But I am so disappointed with the box lately and this one was the worst box you can imagine.
As you may see, I got an Illamasqua lipgloss. To be honest I wanted to try this brand out for some time now, so I was really anxious when I read it will be featured in the April Box. However, thanks to my bad luck I got it in the colour Repulse- a pure black. First I thought it won't be as black as it is in the tube once you apply it but naahhh, unfortunately it doesn't fades.
Next was a blusher by BM Beauty. I never heard of it and the box is pretty little, so I don't know yet how I should apply it. It is a mineral blush in the colour Peachy Glow. Furthermore I received a lippie by Sans Soucis in Pink, a shampoo by Guhl for long hair, a probe of Thomas Sabo's parfum Charm Kiss and an eyeliner by Cosline in the colour aubergine.

Over all, not breathtaking or interesting (for my taste). I recalled it immediately, after nearly one year with more or less useless products I don't want to waste my money for it anymore.

Polka Dot Nails

The days become longer, sunnier and brighter, so I wanted my nails to go along with the greath weather we have lately. 

Polishes I used: 

elf Nail Polish in Clear

Manhattan MNY white in 11A

Manhattan MNY coral in 34K

What you need:

nail polish you like

top coat

dotting tool

This is pretty basic, first you apply a clear nail polish to prevent any yellowness on your nails, then you apply your choice of colour. In my case it was this bright coral colour by MNY. 

Using a dotting tool is the easiest and fastest way to create those little dots, instead you can use bobby pins or something similiar. Last but not least seal everything with a top coat. 

Easy and fast yet really cute and perfect for spring / summer. Happy polishing!

Drama of the week - Lie to me

"Lie to me" a korean drama starring my all time favourite actor Gang Ji Hwan as the male actor. Who wonders I had to watch it?

내게 거짓말을 해봐 - Try lying to me aka Lie to me

Gong A Jeong is quickly nearing her 30s and instead of being happy married she works as a hapless but dedicated civil servant. Some day she meets an old school rival who pokes fun at her because A Jeong is still without a man. Instead of ignoring her she fakes a phone call from her 'husband'. Little did she know that this little rumour turns into a big lie, A Jeong caught in the middle. After her rival's friends spotted her several times around the well known hotel director Hyeon Gi Jun they assume him being the mistery husband.

Gang Ji Hwan (강지환,35), one of the best-known korean actors due to his acting in "Coffee House", "A Movie is a Movie" and "Love is blind", plays the cocky chabeol and hotel director Hyeon Gi Jun. He was the best cast for this role, his acting skills are one of the best and Ji Hwan can pull off arrogant characters like nobody else. Yes, I am biased but when you watch a movie or a drama with him in the leading role you will know why I admire this guy. Every drama/movie starring Gang Ji Hwan is superb, thrilling yet funny. Moving on to the female main role Gong A Jeong played by Yun Eun Hye (윤은혜,27), another famous korean actress known for her roles in "My black minidress" and "The 1st shop of Coffee Prince". Again, a famous and amazing actress with awesome acting skills and enough experience to rock the role perfectly. There is nothing else to say, both Ji Hwan and Eun Hye are awesome actors, they know what they're doing. Seong Jun (성준,21) plays Gi Jun's little creative brother Hyeong Sang Hui. He starred in the drama "Shut up" as well, I haven't watched it yet but his skills in this drama are quite good. Next to Ji Hwan he is still an amateur but I liked to watch scenes with him. Another important character is Gi Jun's exgirlfriend O Yun Ju played by Jo Yun Hui (조윤희,29). They broke up because of Sang Hui who fell in love with her but then left Korea after he found out Gi Jun and Yun Ju planned to get married. She then left for France to study and live there. A Jeong's so called friend Yu So Ran is played by Hong Su Hyeon (홍수현,31). She stole A Jeong's first love and married him a few years later. I love this woman, I really do. She is beautiful, her acting skills are really good and I symphatises a lot with her. Let's talk about the villain Sim Ae Gyeong, Gi Jun's and Sang Hui's aunt, played by Lee Gyeong Jin (이경진,55). In contrast to other dramas her screen time is pretty little which causes the whole drama to be less childish and more grown-up, Gi Jun stands up for his actions and doesn't whine around. The other supporting roles aren't important, most of the history is produces between the main roles plus Sang Hui and Yun Ju.

ATTENTION SPOILER!!--> So what might happen after A Jeong so called friends found out her 'husband' is nobody else than the rich and handsome hotel director Hyeon Gi Jun? Right, they're jealous and curious. Don't ask me why Gi Jun plays along with A Jeong but he invites her "friends" to his home where he and A Jeong pretend to be a happy married couple. Her friends can't believe their eyes and when Gi Jun's aunt Ae Gyeong comes over for a surprise visit you will cry from laughter. Everything gets out of control when his ex-fiancée Yun Ju comes back and with her his old feelings. Even though he broke up with her they meet again and have a late night date. Of course they get spotted by So Ran who immediately accuses him to cheat on A Jeong. She is satisfied to see A Jeong a bit heartbroken, because the young woman starts to have serious feelings for the hotel director yet she knows she probably isn't able to hold a candle to Yun Ju. All the while her new friend Sang Hui stands by her side without her knowing he is Gi Jun's little brother and without him knowing she "dates" his older brother.
The drama starts all over again when Sang Hui falls in love with Gi Jun's woman again, but this time it's not Yun Ju but A Jeong. But instead of running away again and causing his brother a lot of stress he keeps his feelings a secret. Yun Ju tries everything to get Gi Jun back, the character gets really annoying. While So Ra was a jealous rival in the beginning she and A Jeong become friends again. A Jeong finds out that So Ra hasn't the perfect life she is pretending to have and finds out her husband (and A Jeong's former Sunbae and college love) cheats on her.
In the end A Jeong and Gi Jun find to each other without breaking too many hearts and So Ra starts over again with her husband.
The red line is always visible, the ending predictable yet the drama never loses it's suspense. Do I recommend this drama? Yes I definitely do! It combines awesome actors, amazing acting skills and a basic but enthralling and really funny storyline.

Final result: ★★★★★
