Things I crave : November 2015

Greetings my dear cat readers!!!!

Fall and winter is here and with that my cravings..... He he he. Well cravings never stop they just change form according to the seasons and trends of the moment.

So below I present to you my current cravings that are officially taking their place in my never ending wishlist. 

1) The red One by One Volume Mascara by Maybelline

There is no explanation behind that. My local make-up store happens to sell this mascara for 7 euros and if you know me I cannot turn down a cheap and of good quality product.

2) Victoria's Secret angel wings bracelets

I found these on ebay for around 20 US dollars including shipping. Too cute to say no. Just imagine it, you and your angel wings bracelets, secretly feeling like a Victoria's Secret angel. :)

3) Victoria's Secret Bombshell mist

I love all my perfumes and body mists. I have heard so many good reviews about this one I got to have it. It is quite pricey (30 dollars for the 250ml) but scents is my soft spot.

4) Victoria's Secret Love Addict mist

Same opinion as for the Bombshell mist. I really love all the scents and I can never grow tired of them.  I believe Love Addict is a new addition in the VS mists as I have not seen it before.

It smells like wild orchid and blood orange............Mmmm I can't wait to try it. Also the pink bottle is adorable. 

5) Lancome Mascara

I have heard so many good reviews for this mascara that I cannot wait to try it. The bottle looks GORGEOUS!!!! It costs around 30 euro but it is ok. It is a luxury item and it wouldn't be so if it didn't cost as much.

6) Dior Diorshow mascara

Same thoughts for this mascara. Blog Posts have it that this mascara is an all time classic and as a woman who respects herself should at least once in her life give it a try.

7) Estee Lauder Modern Muse perfume

Finally one of my most recent cravings. The last time I was perfume/make-up shopping i fell upon this fragrance. I know this is a new entry for the brand, representing a winter smell. I tried it on me and I believe it is really good. It smells wintery, chic and sophisticated without reminding of an old woman. My opinion is that this perfume is easily suited for younger ages giving them a more sophisticated vibe.

Well my dear cat readers. That was all for today. What are your cravings for this fall-winter? Let me know in the comments below. Love you all and thank you for reading my post!!!

Kisses,

The cat

Essence and H&M make-up haul / review

Goodmorning everyone!!!

   Today it's Saturday. For some a relaxing day for others not as much (me included). On Saturdays we usually do house work, clean and stuff like that, but still i found some time to write this post that i was meaning to write for some days now.

   Almost a week ago (previous to last Friday), i went on a little shoppings spree. I bought myself some stuff, among them a bag of cheap make-up goodies from Essence and H&M. I am always a sucker for cheap make-up products........

   For those of you who don't know, Essence is a German brand with a big variety of cheap AND quality products.

   Moving on, here is the haul/review of what i got.

H&M

Essence

Name Listing and prices

H&M (from top to bottom)

• Reb Blusher in Autumn Flower , 6g weight , 3.95euros
• Liquid  Eyeliner in Purple , 3.5ml , 2.95euros
• Liquid  Eyeliner in Blue , 3.5ml , 2.95euros
• Liquid  Eyeliner in Green , 3.5ml , 2.95euros
• Metallic eyeshadow pallet , 7.5g (i suppose all eyeshadows together) , 4.95euros
• Lipgloss in You Make Me Smile , 5ml , 3.95euros
• Lipgloss in You And Me , 5ml , 3.95euros

Essence (from top to bottom)

• Glow tinted lip balm in 03 Brighten Up! , 1.9g ,  2.89euros
• Glow tinted lip balm in 01 Light Up! , 1.9g ,  2.89euros
• Gel tint in 04 Pink Exposed , 5 ml , 2.49euros
• Metal Glam Eyeshadow in 08 N'ice Frosting , 2.7g , 2.99euros

Up close one by one

Nice colours but mediocre payoff. Not thaaat bad ( i have another pallet form H&M called Shimmer which is way worse, very little colour payoff ). With primer i hope to have better results.

The lip glosses now. They are very pigmented and thick in consistency. Nice colour payoff as well. They are sticky on your lips , a feeling that i am not really fond of. Nonetheless i try to endure it as it makes the lipgloss more longlasting. Don't expect miracles though. After some hours the lipgloss just disappears from your lips (even though you still feel the stickiness).

Don't let my review frighten you. I would repurchase this product as the colours are amazing and come out exactly the same on your lips.

I love H&M liquid eyeliners. The applicator isn't that handy but still.

I already had 4 older colours ( deep purple , gold , shimmery brown , and a weirdish green) and i super loved them. They were waterproof , stayed on aaaall day , amazing colours. So as soon as i saw these 3 new colours i went ahead and bought them all.

From my little experience they are the same good quality as their predecessors. Just a little tooo fair colours that makes them harder to use but who cares. I'll figure out a way.

What can i say. I was a fool for the nice packaging. I knew this product was gonna suck but still i bought it. 

The blush itself is really soft to the touch but it should be used with GREAT attention. One little dub on your cheecks and you already look like a clown and what's worse than that is that you cannot blend it away. Once the brush touches your face you have a red mark that won't move. The only solution is to "calm the colour down" but applying powder on top.

Another fun fact, the shitty brush underneath smells indescribably bad. Like petroleum......

General Impresions : H&M make-up products are not always the winner. Some of their products are really good others not at all. You should buy carefully and not be tricked by the low prices and cute packaging (even if it requires great psychic strength).

Lastly the Essence products

They are supposed to be lip tints that moisturize your lips at the same time (lip balms). From my experience this is true. They feel moisturizing when you put them on. As time passes, nevertheless, they start to feel chalky on you lips and you need either to reapply or use a lip balm of your own.

Colour payoff nothing too extreme.

This gel tint is supposed to tint your lips while leaving a gel finish. It's true. And the colour is buildable. The more you apply the more intense the colour becomes. And it stains your lips for good as you can see from the last picture. The last picture was taken AFTER i wiped my hand with make-up cleaning wipes!!! 

And lastly the essence metal glam eyeshadow. Really soft to the touch and impressive on the eyes. Not easy to swatch as pigmented as it shows on my finger but you can definately built it up. As i said above, this colour looks really nice on the eyes and in the inner corner more specific.

That was all dear cat readers. Hope i gave you new ideas of products you may wanna try out and hope you liked my mini reviews.

Till the next time,

many kisses loved ones

Three things that i am looking forward to !!!

Greetings dear cat readers!!!

How are you? How have you been? Hope everything in your life is perfect :)


   Lately i was recalling my fangirl on Thorin Oakenshield and realised that after a looooong summer i am finally going to see him again! OH what a feeling................! I had forgotten about him for so long, but i realised that as soon as i lay my eyes on ''his'' new film i will fall in love with him again. :'(   (tear for an unfulfilled love).

   Well, keeping that in mind, i took note of some other things that i realised that i look forward to, in the months that will follow, so i decided to let you know about them as well.

1. Thorin Oakenshield in ''The Hobbit : The Desolation of Smaug'' - 13 December

   As some of you may already know, and as i mentioned above, i had a crush on Thorin Oakenshield since i first saw the movie ''Hobbit'' last Christmas. Since then i have been counting the days backwards till the day i would see him again in the second movie. And finally the time is aaaaaaaalmost here!
 
   I remember feeling so low those days and feeling that summer would never end. I couldn't wait for it to end. As expected, i managed to get over this thought, and had a lovely summer! But now that the weather is getting colder and that the new movie trailers are all around the net, as well as the trailers of ''The Hobbit 2'' movie, my enthousiasm is back baby!

See my lovely man here and here BUT BE CAREFUL! He's mine. :D

2. Lily Collins as the face of Lancome - January 2014

   In case you don't already know, i also am fangirling on Lily Collins. Not meaning that i have a girl crush on her but more like that i like her style, clothes, make-up, movies 'n' stuff like that. (too many likes for one sentence.....?!) I like watching her on the red carpet, watching her candid pics, and trying to figure out the make-up she is wearing.

   When i accidentaly read that she is the new face of Lancome and that new pictures of her working with the company will most likely appear in January, i couldn't be more happy. Of course i won't be buying any Lancome products because they are too expensive and i am not that stupid to believe in pictures. I know they are going to be photoshopped to the max. But still they are nice to watch and give you inspiration for new make-up looks to try out.


Here is the passage with more details :
Lily Collins has just been named as the new face and global ambassadress for Lancome, more specifically, the brand’s spring 2014 color cosmetics collection, French Ballerine!
“With her charm, gracefulness, modernity and lively wit, @LilyCollins is the perfect embodiment of femininity #LilyforLancome” the brand tweeted about the 24-year-old actress and her new venture with the company. “.@LilyCollins is a talented actress and embodies #Lancome’s effortlessly chic look and joie de vivre #LilyforLancome”.
Lily‘s new campaign is expected to debut in January, according to WWD.

3. Lynn Flewelling's new book, Shards of Time, Nightrunner series, book N7 - April 2014

  Dear Lynn Flewelling i love you. You and Sir Guy Gavriel Kay. You are my favorite authors of all time...........

   The Nightrunner book series is a fantasy oriented series that evolves in the fantastic world of three main countries. Aurenen, Skala and Plenimar. The two main characters are Seregil and Alec, and they are part of the Nightrunner world. Nightrunners are something like undercover agents that take secret missions for the wellness of the realm.

   The series so far consists of 6 books, each book being a new adventure which follows the storyline of the previous book.

   This past July, Lynn Fleweling announced that the seventh book will be released in April 1st 2014 and i couldn't be more happy!!! She also uncovered the cover art of the book.

Read the related info about the release date here, the cover here and about the book in general here. (They are from the author herself)





So that was all my dear readers for today. I hope you liked it. I would be more than interested to know what are YOU looking forward to!

Till the next time,
many kitten kisses


  

Currently in my head

Hello there!

   Various thoughts have been on my mind again :P and i think it is a great opportunity to share them with you right now, while they are still ''fresh'' . What do you say?

   So, the things that have been on my mind lately, with no particular order are:


1. Selena's Gomez cool performance of the her new song  Come and Get it on the Ellen show

In the comments below the song everybody is bitching about how Selena can't sing, but for me it was a really good performance. A singnificant plus is her flawless, silky straight hair and her loose dress. Also i loved the make up!

2. My dear Jorge wants to get married


Say whaaaaaaaaaat????????? Come again???? Oh dear Jorge please don't forget about me :( You can marry me.........

Listen at 5:24 . The other person asks him what does he plan to do now and he replies to find a girl to make a family..................... Oh Jorge......



3. This funny video from big bang theory

No comments on this one. Just watch and laugh! :D

4. The hot chick from the movie ''Jack the Giant Slayer''


Or to rephrase that, Eleanor Tomlinson.
I first found out about her from the movie Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging, for which you can read my review here. Then she was just 16 years old and a plain girl of her age. But as you can see from the pictures below and the movie trailer, she has grown up beautifully, blossoming like a true flower. If only i could ''blossom'' the same beautifully as she.

I also love her leather jacket and louboutins.

5. The latest ! AMAZING ! Star Trek trailer (can't wait for this movie to come out)

6. The beautiful, young and talented Saoirse Ronan.

This young girl has taken part in many movies lately. Look at The Host and Byzantium (which both look interesting movies).
And i just recently found out that i knew her before that. She also has played in the movie The Way Back   , an excellent movie which i strongly suggest, where her acting was amazing. I think that she is extremely talented.




That was all for now. Hope you are having a great weekend.

Kisses loved ones

If only i had the money / Things i crave

Hello again!

and what a beautiful day it is today!

   Recently it came to my mind that my wardrobe lacks some basic items. Moreover there are some ''pieces'' that may not be as necessary but non the less craved.
   These items have been in my mind for such a long time and i guess they will continue to be until i fulfil them ;)


So let's start!

1. Lash+ plus serum for long lashes by Greenfields

   Hm. I bought this stuff a year or two long ago, from my local Sephora, and still i remember it. I swear it worked miracles. You were supposed to use it once or twice every day and the product promised to lengthen your eyelashes. It came in a regular mascara bottle, with a regular mascara applicator, only it was clear. I remember i had bought it 30 euros.
   To my experience it didn't only lengthen them but also made them thicker. I remember not using the product relentlessly and still my lashes would reach to my eyelid at some point.
   Since the bottle ended i haven't repurchased it since, and my lashes now are back to their normal size. So i think that the results are not permanent. But i think that as long as you use it you're gonna have marvelous eyelashes.


2. Wonderstruck perfume by Taylor Swift

I wished for this perfume the moment it came out. I love Taylor Swift and i have heard the best critics on this one so i can't wait to try it out.


3. Benefit's It's Potent! Eye Cream

 I also have read good reviews about this one. It is said to deeply hydrate eyes and also remove dark circles. If it's real then hell yeah!


4. Black leather (biker?) jacket

 

I had my eyes on this since i saw this - - - - - - - -  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - >

Doesn't she look lovely in this jacket? This particular one is by Rick Owens and it costs around 1600 $ (if you click on the image you will see by yourselves) , and it's a biiiiiiiiiit too pricy for my tastes. So i am in a search for a leather jacket that would satisfy my needs as well as this one.


5. Black wedge booties.....

......that i can wear and party all night in them!
I was thinking that if i need to go on a night out during the colder months all my more ''formal'' shoes, are a pair of black heels, a pair of beige heels ( which are worn out and i try to avoid them) and a pair of beige wedges (my latest addition). 
   It came to my mind that a pair of nice black platform booties, not only would sexify (?!) an outfit but also would be really comfortable to dance with.

6. Nude platform booties (for spring, J.Campbell look alikes)

If i had the money i would choose something like that :

But since i don't have the money, i will choose something like that:

or something like that:

7. My oh my, the naked palet (1? 2?)

8. One nice underwear set by Venus Victoria

  Venus Victoria is a greek brand for woman underwear and lingerie. Their designs are really pretty and romantic and one bra i got from them, really worth it's money. They are not too expensive and i can tell you, from personal experience, that from all the bras i own, only this one is still in perfect shape after all these years, still doing its job perfectly.  Also their fit is one of the best that i have come across.
I believe their bras are a piece that you can fearlessly invest in.

That's all my dears for now. This list i think will be ongoing until i fulfil every part of it, little by little.




Hope to talk to you soon enough.

Till the next time,
kisses and one of my paws!
