// Easter holidays

Greetings, people of the Internet!

I just wanted to tell you guys I'm finally on holidays again (YAS!)

but I'm going to spend some days at my grandma's and there's no wifi...

I don't even know how I'm supposed to survive this...

But I've got my phone with me so slow Internet is better than no Internet, I guess.

Anyway, just wanted to tell you why there won't be new posts during the next 6-7 days :)

I found some nice pics I took during spring last year and decided to upload them since the weather sucks a lot this week.

It even started snowing today. Ugh.

See you in a few days

// Review: essence - How To Make Brows Wow

Hello once again, lovely Internet!

I haven't uploaded a proper product review for ages now so I thought it's about time for changing this.

This review will be about the eyebrow kit "How to make brows wow" by essence.

I bought it a few weeks ago as I thought I should give essence another chance after proving me their quality changed for the better during the past 5 years and I needed a new eyebrow powder.

Hi Internetmenschen!

Ich hab seit einer Weile keine Review mehr geschrieben und war der Meinung, dass sich das dringend ändern muss also hab ich das Augenbrauen Kit "How to make your brows wow" von essence herausgekramt (Nicht wirklich, ich benutze es seit Tagen :D)

Ich hab es bereits vor einigen Wochen gekauft, da ich es nochmal mit essence versuchen wollte, nachdem sie mich davon überzeugt haben, dass sich die Qualität der Produkte innerhalb der letzten 5-6 Jahre zum Besseren verändert hat.

Außerdem brauchte ich ein neues Augenbrauenpuder.

The packaging is really cute. It's a small box with tiger stripes on the outside and on the inside, there's a small mirror as well as paw prints.
There are three eyebrow powder shades called "love blondes", "love 'em all" and "love brunettes" as well as a highlighter called "lift me up!".
I'm filling in my eyebrows with either "love 'em all" or "love brunettes" as my eyebrows are a bit dark and these shades make my eyebrows look a bit more natural and less drawn on than the other powder I used before.

Die Gestaltung der kleinen Box ist ziemlich gelungen und niedlich: Außen Tigerstreifen, innen zusätzlich noch ein kleiner Spiegel und Pfotenabdrücke.
Die drei Puder heißen "love blondes", "love 'em all" und "love brunettes", außerdem beinhaltet dieses Kit noch einen Highlighter namens "lift me up".
Da meine Augenbrauen von Natur aus etwas dunkler sind, benutze ich entweder "love 'em all" oder "love brunettes". Ich weiß nicht warum, aber irgendwie wirken die Farben sehr natürlich beim Tragen und nicht so "aufgemalt".

GOSH Cosmetics Foundation + Mascara: Sea Shop|Forgot the price

I'm going to start with the GOSH cosmetics makeup.

I bought those two things because I forgot my makeup bag when we left our coach in order to enter the ferry and I hate being around people when I'm not wearing makeup.

I went straight upstairs and headed to the seashop, took a foundation and a mascara and when I wanted to pay for them, the saleswoman told me there's that special offer that when you buy 2 GOSH products you'd get a free makeup bag.

I love makeup bags.

I just didn't know that there was a surprise inside until I sat down somewhere and took a look at the bag.

It had a blush, nailpolish, lipstick and an eyeliner inside. HOW AWESOME IS THAT?

The colours are awesome, except for the eyeliner. It's like turquoise and I don't think I'm ever going to wear it :D

Another special offer were the Sharpies.

They usually are about £17 but they had that offer at WH Smith that if you buy anything, you'd get them for £8,49.

So I decided to get a TARDIS key tag as well :D

And I am aware that the Real Technique Core Collection kit is a bit cheaper at Superdrug, but when I saw them at Boots I didn't feel like going back to Superdrug just for those brushes.

Plus the difference is only like £1 or so.

That's it for today.

If you want me to write a review on any of these products (even on the turquoise eyeliner) feel free to tell me :)

BTW, my reviews will be in English and in German from now on :)

// Trip to Glasgow

Hey Internet,

I'm back from a very short school trip to Glasgow/Scotland and let me just say one thing:

I think I fell in love with Scotland. 

It's such a picturesque country and the people there are so nice and aaaah!

I can't wait to go back.

It took us a while to get there since we went to Scotland by bus and ferry but it wasn't as exhausting as I thought it would be. 

We even had cabins on the ferry where we could get some sleep while we were waiting for our arrival in Amsterdam and Newcastle.

They were really small, especially the bathrooms but luckily, I'm not claustrophobic.

The only thing I didn't like about this school trip was that I didn't get to take as many pictures as I wanted to as we drove by a lot of beautiful, mystical and magical landscapes such as waterfalls in the woods and breathtaking cliffs.

So that's why I'll have to go back on my own once I have my driver's licence.

Now sit back, relax, and enjoy some of the pictures I took during the last week :)

The next post will probably be a haul about the things I bought in Glasgow :)

All pictures were taken by me with my Nikon D3200 or my iPhone :)

Do you have a favourite country?

Which one?

Mine are probably England and Scotland :)
