// Purple hair don't care

Greetings Internet!

Yesterday and today were kinda weird.

I got up at 7am and did my homework.

I usually never do my homework. Or at least, I do them the night before their due haha

Anyway, I also felt like changing something about my appearance.

Loosing weight is number 1 on my To-Do-list but it takes time and a whole ton of willpower.

I wanted something else. Something, that could be achieved fastly.

So I sat down and thought about things I wanted to change about my style/appearance/whatever.

And I found something.

If you know me, you probably know the blue hair I had like 3 years ago.

And ever since I had to get rid of them because of a former job, I wanted it back.

Blue, pink, purple, whatever!

I just wanted my colourful hair back.

And that's the actual reason why I started dyeing my hair blonde again.

Yesterday, I cut off about 7-10cm of my hair length.

No, I didn't want to but it just had to be done as there were countless split ends and my hair looked dead.

I've been cutting it myself for the past three or four years as I can't trust hairdressers anymore.

They f*cked it up too many times.

Anyway, today, I decided to dye them puple. As I already wanted to do this in summer 2014, I had different Direction shades at home.

The winner was Violet. And Lilac ;)

I'm not sure whether I'm going to regret this or not.

I'm not talking about dyeing my hair purple, I'd never regret that!

But I shouldn't have done that by myself.

I should've asked my mum to help me with the back of my head as I never knew if I just put enough hair dye on or not.

But in the end, it somehow turned out okay.

What I used:

Vaseline - to protect the scalp/hairline from the colour

La Riché Directions in Violet and Lilac - Hair Dye

Aussie conditioner - for mixing it with the Directions and brightening them uo

a (non-metallic) bowl

a brush

gloves

I mixed the Directions with the conditioner, applied the vaseline and started dyeing my hair.

As I said above, the result was okay.

I think it would've been better, if I had dyed my hair blonde again before applying Directions as my hair had like three different but kinda natural looking shades of blonde and now I have about three or four different shades of purple. 

But I actually don't mind at all as I think it kinda looks cool.

Some people may look at me weirdly for that but I actually don't care about their opinion on my choices of hair dye haha

Also, Directions don't last that long, actually.

It'll be fully washed out by next week and after that I'm going to dye them blonde again (pug'in roots ya kno) and then dye them pastel pink for the wedding as that hair colour will match my choker and my purse haha

Ready for the result?

I somehow like how it's not only one colour.

Of course, I could've done better but this is actually the first time dyeing my whole head with Directions and yea...

Going to ask for help next time, tho' :)

// (Easter) Shopping Haul

Hey Internet,

I've got to be honest: I wanted to post this blogpost somewhen last week but as school started again, I barely had time to do anything beside homework and I woke up really early today (at 6am. What the pug is wrong with me ew) and did my homework for the next week and now I'm a free elf.

And I finally have enough time for blogging again. YAS!

As the title says, this will be a haul about some things I bought during the Easter holidays and before you guys start forejudging me: I saved money for this occasion and the Easter bunny was very generous this year :)

So, during the holidays, Anika and I went to Berlin as we wanted to get some clothes for our 5SOS concert in 27 days.

Let me just say one thing: I ended up buying a lot of things, just not for the concert. Ugh.

Anyway, I should start now haha

And the first thing I'm going to show you is a product that has been on my wishlist for such a long time but I've always been too thrifty.

The excuse I was telling myself was that I'm getting this myself as an Easter present haha

And it's the Urban Decay Naked 3.

It's beautiful.

The shades are awesome and you can wear them all day. When you're off to school, in the afternoon or when you go clubbing.

Along with my smashbox contour kit and my mac lipsticks it's probably my fave beauty product haha

UD Naked 3 - 47.99€

And of course we went to Primark.

I wanted to get a makeup bag for school and I ended up using it as a pencilcase haha

It's just too cute.

I bought a shirt, a sweater and two pairs of shoes as well haha

And a new choker that I'm going to wear at the wedding next month :)

Makeup bag - 4€

Choker - 2.50€

Polka Body Mist - 3.50€ <- I RECOMMEND THIS SO MUCH HAHA

T-Shirt "Brad Leo Ryan Zac Channing" - 10€

Sweater "is it the weekend yet?" - 9€

I love this one so much.

The sheer fabric makes it a perfect top for spring days when the sun is hiding behind the clouds.

Round sunglasses with matte frame - 2.50€

Trainers - 13€

Trainers - 13€

Let's take a look at what I bought when we went to Mac and Lush :)

Space Girl bathbomb - 3.95€

Grease Lightning Spot Treatment - 9.95€

Unfortunately, I don't recommend this at all as it doesn't help. 

But I'll continue using it.

Still hoping it'll help someday haha

I had a bit of a MAC binge during the holidays.

As you may know, I love everything that's MAC (even their foundation matches my skintone, wow!)

So when my grandma asked me, what I wanted for Easter I said a new lippy and a lipliner.

And when she said it'd be okay if I ordered them I was beyond surprised, as MAC is a bit expensive.

But anyway, that day I ordered a lipstick and a lipliner.

Brave, which is a rosy nude for 20€ and Plum, a brownish red lipliner for 16€

When we went to Berlin, I couldn't help but buy another lipstick and two lipliners.

I went to every MAC store or shop that had a MAC counter as I was looking for Velvet Teddy until someone told me it was sold out worldwide.

Ugh.

But I found Honey Love (20€) instead.

And I'd say it's my fave nude lipstick so far.

It has a matte finish and is neither too dark nor too light.

I love wearing it together with the Whirl lipliner (16€) for the ultimate Kylie Jenner lips haha

And I bought the Soar lipliner (16€) which I'm going to wear along with Brave.

Left: Brave 

Right: Honey Love

Swatches from left to right: Brave, Honey Love, Whirl, Soar, Plum

// 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 :)
