Monthly beauty favorites October….


….

Hi guys and happy Halloween,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
yesterday was the scariest day of the year and we spent in Rust at the Europapark. If you follow me on Instagram you might have seen it, otherwise have a look (@madame_schischi). 


But let´s get back to normal work. Since yesterday was the last day of October I am rounding up all the beauty prodcuts I have bought and tried throughout the last month.

Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink in color 50 Voyager
This is the most longlasting lip color I have ever tried. It stays and stays and stays and also after I showered the color was almost unchanged. The color dries almost immidiately and gets matte after. The color leaves kind of a sticky feel on your lips which gets less sticky throughout the day but that is something you should know. The color I choose is a dark and deep red shade which I especially love for fall. I would totally recommend this product.


L´oréal Paris nail polish color 666 absinthe verte 
Another color of my favorite nail polish line. The color wasn´t available in stores anymore so I had to get it from amazon. It is a lighter olive shade. Paint it twice for a darker shade.


The color was very hard to get used to cause I looked like an avatar after applying it but the mask itself is great. It makes my face so soft and so fresh looking. It is the latest of the L´oréal mask selection and I think so far the best one. Worth a try. I am using it twice a week as it became my go-to mask. One of the main ingridient are 


Not as good as I thought. The idea of the procuct was to only take a shower and must´t apply body cream after but this is not enough for me. I need a much richer prodcut, especially for the colder month. This might work for summer and I am definitely gonna try it again then. The smell is really good, also the price point.


Rituals – touch of happiness body cream – sweet orange and cedar wood
I got this body lotion for quite a while now but I haven´t used it cause I thought the orange and cedar wood scents would be more winter appropriate. The smell is so so good. I love it and I already got the original sizes for the colder months. The body lotion has a thick consistency and is very rich. Perfect for dry skin.


Rituals – shower oil – the rituals of sakura
This is my most favorite scent  of the Ritual shower oils ever. The shower oil has a oily consistency and you don´t need very much cause it foams pretty good. Leaves an oily but not  greasy film after washing it off so your skin feels soft and nourished.
L´oréal Paris brow artist in 102 cool blonde
I was searching for a new brow pencil and I decided to give this one a shot. It isn´t bad but I think I am gonna go back to a brow powder. The color fits really good for me. The shade is called cool blonde. The consistency of the pencil is pretty hard. So be sure to not pull it out to far cause I already broke mine twice. 


Balmain x L´oréal lipstick in color Freedom
There is nothing more to say about this. The limited edition was available at our local drug store and I bought this color cause I forgot to preorder it. The shade is a light orchid shade. Really pretty. A bold and rich color with a matte finish. Typical L´oréal lipstick quality.


Catrice matte 6h lip artist in 050 fashion reditorial 
This is probably the cheapest and my most favorite lip color I own. This is already my third one. The color is the perfect red shade for me which I am using throughout the whole year. The consistency of the lip crayon is super soft and so pigmented. You really don´t need much color. The matte finish is great. I think it does last about six hours but I also don´t mind reapplying it.


Artdeco nail polish in 689 terra red and 997 golden moments 
Artdeco is also one of my favorite brands for almost everything. I especially like their nail polishes cause they are longlasting and the colors are all so pretty. They are also at a good price point with 6 € each.

Testing out Dr. Hauschka skincare products to avoid big pores, oily skin and breakouts….

….

I have been struggling with my skin since I was a teenager. It really got better by following certain things like drinking lemon juice with vitamin c, taking biotin and dietary supplement for my skin, applying skin masks to my skin, cutting out dairy products and changing the pillow case from cotton to silk. And I also think taking birth control pills made a huge difference so since I stopped taking them for a good reason my skin got worse. Almost the same day.


So after my normal routine didn´t work out anymore I started researching on the internet on a skin care line which had exact the products I wanted and which was payable. So I have found the Dr. Hauschka skin care line for oily skin. This post is not sponsored at all. It is just written by a desperate women who wanted the skin back she had before so badly. I ordered the “Clariying Face Care Kit” with all the items of this particular line in a sample size. The kit cost about 15 € and contains seven of the products out of this line and is, in my opinion, worth every penny cause the products are expensive in their regular sizing and this way you can see what you like and what works for you.

So let´s review the single products:



balances combination skin – use in the morning
The first product I used. I like the smell (fresh with a hint of citrus) and the consistency of the cream. My skin stayed hydrated throughout the day and you only need a little drop of the product for your face. Also does it have a mattyfiying effect which is pretty welcome here.



balances oily,blemished skin – use in the mornings
I always wanted to have a face oil but I was afraid it would make my skin look more oily at my t-zone than it is now and I wasn´t quite sure if I liked the feeling of the product on my skin. As it turnded out I worried way too much. I have never had smoother skin after applying a face cream to my skin than after using this oil. I love it and already ordered the big bottle. Also the sample size was 5 ml and after 4 weeks of using it there is still something in the bottle.
refines, revitalises and deeply cleanses – use in the mornings and evenings
This product absolutely failed for me. The smell is not very nice and the consistncy is like peanut butter. And it didn´t do anything for me. Also the feeling on my skin was greasy somehow after washing the product down. Maybe it is supposed to leave a some kind of film on your skin to prep or protect. I have never had so much make-up left in my face after washing it, than with this product. 
deeply cleanses all skin conditions
This was a small package containing powder so you can mix a mask by yourself. You have to be careful to not put to much water into it otherwise you can´t use it as a mask cause it won´t stay on your face. The smell is really not good. I can´t even describe it and it also hasn´t got the nicest color – some shade of brown. BUT the mask made super soft and rosy skin so it was worth having it 15 minutes on my face and not breathing so deep.



Revitalising mask
rejuvenates, soothes and refines all skin conditions
This might be one of my favorite masks ever. The smell is so refreshing and sweet, like a piece of key lime pie. The mask is like a thick cream and it is very easy to apply to the skin and I think it has some kind of cooling effect. If your skin would be really worse you could also use it as a primer under you usual day cream or the clarifying day oil.
Just remove it after twenty minutes with a wet towel so your skin can stay hydrated.

 Clarifying toner
tones, balances and calms
That was the second product I ordered in the normal size right away cause I thinkit does so much for my skin. I am only using it in the evening. It was enough for the warmer month but I think I have to get another product to keep my skin hydrated in th cold winter months. It is a liquid to spray on your face and gently press into your skin. It is supposed to reduce blackheads and to calm down your skin after a long day. I love it and I also use it for my neck.




Clariying steam bath
prepares skin for deep cleansing
To be honest I haven´t had time to use it and I also have never seen a prodcut for home use like this but I get the idea of it. The hot water steam opens up your pores so you can put on products more effective as they can suck in deep into your skin. Also it would be easier if you are getting rid of your blackheads and pimples at home.
Definitely gonna try this next week on my free days. The smell is pretty herbal but that doesn´t bother me at all.




Hope this post wasn´t too long but I jsut wanted to despribe the products the best I could.


Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

BALMAIN X L´ORÉAL PARIS – limited edition…..

#balmainxloreal
…..

Hi guys,

you can´t even imagine how long I have been waiting for this lipstick collection (in fact it was the same time like everyone else – but it felt like forever) to release. The dates changed from the middle of September to the middle of October almost everyday and I wasn´t sure if I could get them online or only in stores. As it turned out I could preorder the colors I loved on Flaconi – one of my favorite online stores for beauty products. 

I ordered 4 different colors. Two from the Couture-Collection, Domination – a deep red shade and Liberation – a bold purple shade which isn´t as dark as I first thought. I was afraid that it would be too dark for me as I thought it has a blackish undertone. And two from the Glamazone-Collection – Fever 
, a bright orange shade with shimmering gold particles and a matte finish (so beautiful and perfect for fall) and Glamazone, a lighter taupe hue which I recently love.

They are like the typical color riche lipsticks in their texture and they have the signature smell which all of their lipsticks have (I personally love it but that is just personal). I think they are worth it and the colors are so pretty.


The packaging is beyond beautfiul. I think I have never had a lipstick which was this beautiful on the outside (the black ones are shiny with the gold details and the green ones – and as far as I have seen – have a marble pattern. The lipsticks cost about 12 € and I think that is pretty affordable cause in the end it still is a collaboration with a high class designer. 

I was almost stalking the mail guy yesterday as I got an e-mail that they where finally shipped. Really cool I was thinking about getting the olive shade too but it already sold out. Maybe I can get in stores somewhere else. 


I hope you could get the shades you wanted and you do love them as much as I do. 


Thanks for stopping by. 


Take care. See you.

My monthly beauty favorites and must-haves for September….

….

Hi guys,

happy Saturday and welcome to another monthly favorites. I haven´t done one in quite a while cause I did not have so many new products and the ones I got new I had to try out first cause otherwise I would not know what to write about to you if I did not test them first.

L´oréal Paris nailpolish in 668 bleu royale and 334 violet de nuit
The nailpolishes from L´oréal are my favorite ones ever. The quality is great. The colors are really pigmented even the very light ones and for the price of 8 Euros for one you can´t complain about a single thing. Also the packaging is pretty. The structured glass bottle with a golden cap.


Dr. Hauschka melissa balm for the day / melissa face oil for the day
I ordered a set of their clarifying prodcuts to test them out and the only thing I have used so far is the melissa balm and the melissa oil for the day. And it is great I think I like the oil even more cause it leaves a smoother and drier feeling on my skin than the balm . Just can recommend these. They are on the pricier side but they really help me since I am longtime fighter against my bad skin. I have a full post for these products when I am done testing.


NYX butter glosses in Éclair / Crème Brulée / Maple Blondie
I found these on Katey McFarlan´s Instagram story and she was recommending theme so badly that I had to have them and they are only 6 Euros so I gave them a try. I am always a little cautious with lip gloss cause I don´t like the sticky feel of the most of them. The quality is really good. The leave a soft feeling on your lips and don´t stick at all. I might get them in some darker shades as well as the light ones are not as pigmented as I thought although they are a hit.


L´oréal Paris Color Riche matte lipsticks in 103 Blush in a Rush and 349 Paris Cherry
There is not much to say about them. I love them, especially the matte ones. The colors are all so beautiful and I love to get my hands on new ones. I got a darker red for fall season and the blush shade for all the time. I hope I can get my hands on one or two of the Balmain x L ´oréal collection which is going to be released at the end of  September.


Living Proof no frizz weightless styling spray
Buying another product of their brand wasn´t intended cause I had the hairspray from the no frizz line of Living Proof and my mom did not like it all and also said it wasn´t working. She has really frizzy hair. I think she might have invented it. But I have read a great post about it on Gal meets Glam in the summer and I didn´t want to let go of the idea that this brand wasn´t working. So I gave it another shot and I am so glad I did cause it is the perfect product for me – almost couldn´t believe it. I am using this spray for second day hair after I curled them. Mostly they are standing in every direction and they tend to be pretty dry and tousled the next morning. That is the hard core case to solve for the product and it worked so well. I sprayed it on and let is set for a few minutes and my hair got shiny and soft. It was easy to comb and I could get some pretty waves from the leftover curls (otherwise I would have to make a bun out of it cause that is all that works in this case). It is a little pricey – costs about 30 Euro – but I would buy this over and over again. Incredible good.


EOS Vanilla Orchid extra hydrating hand lotion
I have found this by coincidence. I just needed a new handlotion for my handbag. I do like the EOS handbalms cause they look cute and their fragrances smell so good but they aren´t as hydrating as I would wish for. But the packaging said that it was for extra dry hands. I haven´t found it on the Internet so far so maybe you have to look at the drug store if you want it. Did not use it but the smell is really good. Somehow it already reminds me of Christmas.


Smashbox Highlighter palette
This wasn´t a planed product, in fact I was never interested in this highlighter palette. I wanted the highlighter palette from Tarte Cosmetics but they sold out and never restocked them so I searched for an alternative and I found this one. Now that I tried it out I like it a lot. I got it in the shade combination pearl and it is such a good product. The colors are so pigmented. This might last for a few years. They also have a more golden color combination too. The palette is a collaboration with a youtube beauty star and Smashbox. It costs about 37 Euro and I think it is worth every penny.


Vichy Liftactiv Yeux
I wanted to try this eye cream from Vichy for so long. Since I had read about it on Mara´s blog M loves M some months ago. But I still had an open eye cream and I wanted to use this one up first. But let´s move on to today. I ordered it from amazon (that was the only possible way to get it without heading into the mall – this brand is only sold by pharmacies in Germany).
L´oréal Paris dry shampoo
First of all I didn´t even know that L´oréal also sells dry shampoo´s. I first read about it in an beauty secrets article and I wanted to try it cause I am always on the hunt for a better dry shampoo. I love it. The product smells so incredible good and I think it doesn´t put to much white dust onto your hair.  I got some more from amazon but they are also available on Douglas.
