Fall/Autumn Fashion Haul (Maison Scotch, Esprit, Only, Review,...)

Hello guys!

How are you?

Did you also go into the shop your the current fall/autumn collection? I don't know what it is but I always freak out with the fall fashion. Obviously, I also buy clothes during other seasons, but the fall fashion really brightens up my heart and I walk through all stores with adrenaline and want to buy literally everything. So I wanted to share with you my fall/ winter clothes for this seasons so far. I also bought a lot of running clothes, but I doubt that is so interesting. 

I started in Butler's as I had a voucher from them and bought two storage boxes each for 9,99€. I think there look much more attractive than the usual plastic ones.

So let's start with the fashion. I love this burgundy red cable-knit sweater from H&M for 24,95€. It's super soft and cozy, just perfect for the cold weather.

I searched for such a cap for quite a long time and like some people need a new pair of boots every year, I need a new cap every year. So I chose this cap from Review for 12,95€. I love this fake fur bobble!

I've never heard of this brand reps. never searched there, but they have really great clothes! This green leopard sweater is from Maison Scotch and costs 45,95€. It's a bit pricy but has a fantastic design.

And then I bought something that I wanted FOR YEARS. Long black leather pants! And not the leggins style because I think that looks a bit bitchy. So these leather trousers from Only for 39,95€ are perfect! I think this looks so trendy even when it's cold outside.

Then I bought a really short black skirt with gold studs from Vero Moda for 29,95€. I really like this skirt even though you can't eat a lot before wearing it ;) But it had a little hole in the back, so I have to sew it :(

And then I bought a new between-seasons jacket. I already own a biker jacket which is black with gold zippers, but is really light and doesn't keep you warm. This leather cotton jacket from Esprit for 119,99€ is stylish, warm, really on trend and made out of super good quality. 

So this was my fall/autumn haul. I love every single piece of my new purchases. The problem is that my university starts in two weeks and till then, I have literally nothing to do. And what do you do when you have too much time? You go shopping esp. when the mall is 10 minutes away from you. So currently one could define me as a shopaholic, but I hope that this will end in a few weeks :)

Have you bought something from the current collection?

Wish you a wonderful day!

Another DM Drugstore Haul? Yes, please!

Hello everyone!

This is a cautionary tale: Don't go in a drugstore after having a frustrating fight with a salesman only because you wanted to spend some money on some lovely new trainers. Especially when you know that absolutely everything makes you happy in the drugstore and you have the insatiable longing to buy everything. Well, that happened yesterday and before I am going to declare myself as being crazy, I thought I take the chance and show you what I have purchased. So without any further ado, let's get started.

I primarily had to buy a new shampoo for my mum and I used this in order to buy million other things for me. So the shampoo that my mum and I use is the Pantene Pro-V shampoo for volume and coloured hair for 2,65€. This is the best drugstore shampoo that I have tested so far. So far! Because I also purchased the Guhl Blonde shampoo for natural or coloured blonde hair for 3,35€ due to the fact that another costumer bought it. We'll see how good this is.

The Sagrotan Healthy Touch hand sanitizer is probably the least exciting purchase, but this is great when you are traveling or eating outdoor and want to refresh your hands when there isn't a bathroom nearby. However, the price of 1,95€ is discussable.

 

 

This is my favourite purchase of all - the Catrice Absolute Nude Eyeshadow Palette for only 4,95€. My frustrating mind literally grabbed the product as this reminds me so much of the Urban Decay Basics Palette only without the black. I will write a separate post about this palette, but I think it is great for everyday makeup looks.

 

Then my face powder hit the pan. I always went with a Maybelline powder, however, while standing on the Catrice counter, I thought why not trying out another, much cheaper powder? And as I haven't had any bad experiences with Catrice, the Catrice Skin Finish Compact Powder for 3,95€ ended up in my basket.

 

directly applied and 2 minutes after

 Finding a light, neutral, medium-coverage and not too dewy foundation is a really tough task whereas meanwhile I doubt whether this perfect foundation exists in drugstore or whether I have to spend some money on a high-end foundation. So I gave the Astor anti shine makeup in shade 201 sand for 5,35€ a go and you can see that it oxidizes and gets darker because of the mattifying effect. Thus, let's keep fingers crossed that it suits my skin tone.

 

The last purchase was the Garnier face mask against pimples with a special thermo-formulation which costs only 0,95€ and includes two uses. I actually realise right now, that I had an allergic reaction to their facial wash...

So this was my frustrating drugstore haul which ended up being not that bad and completely nonsense. I still hope that I will find a good store with a friendly salesman that is willing to sell me some proper trainers with a reliable advice. Thank you for reading this and let me know whether you want to here a specific review to one of these products!

Wish you a wonderful day! Love,

Fitness Haul! - Nike, Adidas, H&M & NorthFace

With this fitness haul my current fitness kick has definitely reached its peak point. I personally tend to invest my money more on expensive trousers or bras instead of tops, because I usually wear my old t-shirts for sport. If you want to know what I bought then keep on reading.

 

Okay, this item is not really sporty, but I thought it might interest you as well. This is a super light, green rain coat by North Face which was in the sale for only 79€.

 

Here are my favourite items! These are sport bras and believe it or not I haven't worn any sport bra before, because nobody forced me to buy one. I don't have a huge breast, but support is always important, therefore, you have to have a sport bra! 

The left pink one is from Adidas and is called the Supernova Racer Bra and costs 49€. This bra is absolutely amazing, super tight and is so colorful that you can wear it without a top on top. The right black one is from Nike and is also really tight.

 

Then I found a really bright pink running shorts by Nike too. I prefer to do sport in shorts because I feel more flexible. I think they were about 29€.

 

Then I have another black shorts by Nike for 29€. They are not the same type, because here the sides are not rounded.

 

Then I found a coral t-shirt by Nike with a golden sign on top. I was in the sale for 30€. Normally I wouldn't buy this t-shirt, but I was kind of in the mood of investing the money in this t-shrt only for this time.

 

Then I walked to H&M in order to buy some ordinary tops. I bought a black and pink one and the white one is a bit looser and sheer, so that you have to throw it on top of another top. 

 

The last thing that I bought were some neon shorts by H&M. I am not sure whether I am really going to use them for sport or just as pajamas. They are with 5€ or right now in the sale with 3€ super cheap.

This was my fitness haul. I hope you liked this and tell me what you wear while doing sport?

Wish you a wonderful day!

Lots of love,

DM Make-up Haul, Swatches & Little Reviews

Hey guys!

How are you?

It has actually been a really long time since I have been taking photos, editing them, writing and posting a blogpost right away. I have been learning for my final exams during the last weeks and today I forced myself to take a break and do something that I really enjoy which is blogging. So I thought you might be interested in knowing which products I purchased yesterday in my local drug store. These are actually the products that I am going to use for my everyday make-up routine.

I have never had an everyday make-up routine, but recently, because of the stress, I crapped for almost the same products every day, so that finally, I am ready to show you my everyday make-up routine in my future posts ;)

The Haul 

 

I bought the new Catrice Longlasting Eye Pencil in 050 Brown Town Girl from the new product range which claims to be waterproof. The pencil includes a sharper at the end.

Catrice Eye Pencil - Swatch

Because of the small pencil, one can draw a really thin, precise and subtile line along the lash line. It is a really dark brown colour that stayed on really well even after my professional rubbing test. 

 

Another Catrice product is the cream lip and cheek colour from the current Neo Geisha LE available from January to March 2013. The shade is the lightest one in 01 Discreet Artist.

Swatch in different lights

It is a soft, pale pink colour that would look great on pale skin. The colour pay-off is not comparable with the Maybelline cream blushes, however, this would be perfect for make-up beginners who are still afraid of blush and struggle with handling the colour pay-off.The colour looks like a pale pink on the lips, but I think you can do that with every cream blush.

L'oréal lipstick (colour on photo is not true to original) 

I think the L'oréal Lipstick Rouge Caresse in 120 Mauve Cherie is also new in their product range and because L'oréal is so expensive here, this purchase was definitely made by this luxury packaging. 

 

I would have never purchased the P2 Heavenly lip mousse if a youtube hadn't recommended it to me because the packaging wasn't that attractive to me. I chose the shade 050 sweet time pleasure.

Swatches - L'oréal lipstick (left) and P2 Heavenly Lip mousse (right)

The L'oréal lipstick is really smooth and even though it has a sheer texture, it lasts on the lips for several hours. It is a beautiful mauve pink colour which is great for every day, however, surprisingly, the lipststick dried out my lips a tiny bit during the really old winter days.

The P2 lip mousse has, as the name says, a mousse texture, but that doesn't make it uncomfortable on the lips. The colour is a bit lighter than the L'oréal lipstick, but still a beautiful dusty pink colour which looks really flattering and great with nearly every eye make-up. The lasting is really great! I applied it in the morning and the colour was still visible around lunch time even after drinking.

So this was my latest haul. I hope you liked this really up-to-date post with the little reviews and all the swatches as much as I enjoyed writing it for you! Let me know what you bought the last couple of weeks and what do you think about the new products in the make-up brands?

Wish you a wonderful sunday! Love,

DM + Christmas Decoration Haul

Hello guys!

Okay, I have to admit: I slowly really start to get into christmas mood which is actually weird because last year I wasn't into christmas mood at all and just felt a bit christmasy two days before Christmas Eve. Thus, even though it's a bit early to be in christmas mood, I prefer it to having it only two day before christmas. Anticipation is the greatest joy! So in order to make my room appear a bit more christmasy I bought just a few christmas items for my room (my room isn't that big) and had to walk into the drugstore ;)

Drugstore / DM:

 

Firstly, I purchased to candies for my handbag. The left one are the DM "Das gesunde Plus" candies with sea buckthorn flavour which taste really nice and sour. I also bought the new Ricola candies with liquorice flavour and sweetened with stevia which have got an interesting taste of liquorice, herbs and a bit salty. 

 

Then I bought the Essence Winter Limited Edition 24h hand protection balm in Apple Cinnamon Punch and Gingerbread Chai Latte each for 0,95€. I think these particular flavours are not available internationally, however, Essence offers these Winter Edition hand creams but just with other flavours. I will do a detailed review of these products, but I am seriously in love with the smell of both of them. I can highly recommend buying them whereas I didn't liked the smell of Caramel Hot Chocolate that much. 

 

These products are only available in Germany, so I will go on in German:

Passend zur kalten Weihnachtszeit verspürte ich das Bedürfnis nach einer schönen, süßen und reichhaltigen Körperpflege nach einem schönen heißem Bad. Und ich wurde bei Balea fündig, die passend zu jeder Jahreszeit immer neue, interessante Düfte herausbringen. Gekauft habe ich mir die Balea Bodylotion mit Feigen- und Schokoladenduft, welche zunächst etwas fruchtig aber dann wundervoll leicht nach Schokolade riecht, und dann noch die Balea Young Bodylotion Sweet Wonderland, die intensiv und einfach nur wunderbar nach Schokolade duftet. Zur Pflegewirkung kann ich noch nicht so viel sagen, aber ich denke, ich werde ein gesammelten Blogpost über meine Körpercremes schreiben.

 

As every other human being on this world I also bought a toothpaste - the Colgate MaxWhite. It claims to make your teeth a bit whiter and whiter teeth are always better.

Christmas Decoration:

 

In order to boost my christmas mood I walked into Butler's and found a few really nice items. As I am a total tea-addictive I was caught by this beautiful, christmasy, snowy, white and red cup that will be well-used and will remind me of christmas every day. It costs 3,99€.

 

The highlight of my decoration haul is this BEAUTIFUL golden and glittery deer. I love it so much! It is sweet, sparkly but in the same time kind of a "natural object". It is no on my vanity table so I see it every day and it makes me so happy just looking at it. The price of this is 9,99€.

 

Technically I have enough candles, but all my candles are from Ikea so they have a noticeable scent but that intense which is great when you have the open in your room for the whole time. Higher priced candles e.g. Yankee Candles or even this middle-priced candle have a lid on top which is great, because then you don't have to smell the intense flavour all the time. And personally, I get a headache quite fastly. Therefore, I bought this scented candle with a rich cinnamon scent for approx. 3,50€. Butler's also has some great room scents!

So this was my drugstore and christmas decoration haul. I know that it's not the hugest haul you've ever seen but I just wanted to make myself a few little presents in order to get in a better mood which is harder to get caused by this grey, cold weather. Are you already in christmas mood? 

Wish you a wonderful day! Love,

DM Haul! Haircare, Nails, Face & Eye Make-up!

Immer wenn ich meine Klausuren beendet habe, belohne ich mich selbst mit einem kleinen Einkauf in meinem geliebten DM. Mein Raubzug ist diesmal recht überschaubar, nur bin ich momentan mit meinem Make-up Sortiment relativ zufrieden und denke momentan über meine Einkäufe vernünftig nach. Dennoch denke ich, dass es wichtig ist, dass man sich etwas gönnt gerade nach einer bestandenen Klausuren-Phase.

Haircare:

 

Ich hab schon viele gute Reviews über die Gliss Kur Pflegeserien gelesen und nun habe ich mir die Gliss Kur Ultimate Repair Anti-Schaden-Kur geleistet, nachdem ich bemerkt habe, dass meine Spitzen schon recht trocken werden. Bisher bin ich mit dem Ergebnis sehr zufrieden!

Face & Nails:

 

Noch nie habe ich in der Drogerie ein Make-up gefunden, was wirklich hell genug für mein Hautton ist und fast hätte ich meine Hoffnung aufgegeben, hätte ich nicht das Max Factor Soft Resistent Make up in 1 Light gefunden. 

Swatch

Es wird definitiv eine Review folgen, weil da es bisher so scheint, als ob ich mein perfektes Make-up gefunden habe.

Dann habe ich mir noch den Essence colour & go in 122 chic reloaded gekauft, ein sehr dunkler holographischer Nagellack. Swatches und weitere Inspirationen findet ihr hier.

Eye Make-up:

 

Zum dritten Mal habe ich mir nun diese Mascara, die Essence I love extreme Mascara, nachgekauft und ich bin immer nun begeistert von ihr und kann keinen einzigen Nachteil anmerken. Von daher fällt dies höchstwahrscheinlich in meine Kategorie des "Must-haves". 

 

Mein letzter Kauf waren diese beiden neuen Lidschatten von Essence. Einmal 64 greybound, was ein wunderschönes schimmriges grau, braun ist, und 65 is it purple?, welcher einen holographischen Effekt hat und je nach Lichteinfall lila, braun erscheint.

 

Swatches - oben: is it purple? / unten: greyhound

Ich hoffe ihr fandet meinen kleinen Haul etwas interessant und konntet vielleicht für euren nächsten Einkauf bei DM inspiriert werden. Ich wünsche Euch noch einen wunderschönen Tag und genießt die letzten Sonnenstrahlen des goldenen Oktobers ;)

Alles Liebe,
