Oh, hello!

I've spent part of my spring break in Tenerife and the other half writing assignments for university. I've still got one to go, but I've decided to make today a "not-doing-anything" day. :) I've bought quite a lot of stuff in the past few weeks and might be sharing some of it on here. I've also read "The solitude of Prime Numbers" by Paolo Giardano and will review it in a few days. For now I leave you with my latest purchase:

Beauty haul

Left to right:
p2 Feel Good mineral compact blushes, essence sun club glamour to go eyeshadow, Rival de Loop - Berlin - High Gloss Nail Colour nail polishes, Rival de Loop - Berlin - Nagellack Schnelltrockner Spray, p2 Perfect Face! Anti-Red Base

I went to the drugstore to shop a certain collection which I stumbled upon the stores' website. Just my luck, the store I went to didn't have that collection (yet). :( As I can never walk out of a drugstore without buying anything I had a look around the cheap drugstore brands' products and what you see above is what I ended up buying. :)

p2 Feel Good mineral compact blush in 060 charming orange, p2 Feel Good mineral compact blush in 020 sweet rose

I still use my two Manhattan blushers (peach and violet), but as it is such an "every day" product I decided to pick these two up. The camera didn't pick up the colour of the "sweet rose" one very well. It's way lighter and rosé in real life. I'm actually dying to try these out, because they were such a bargain (like all things p2).

The product descriptions states the following about the product:

"Feathery-light blush enriched with minerals - the high content of biominerals has a soothing effect. Used to emphasize and accentuate your cheeks. Skin tolerance dermatologically confirmed."

essence sun club glamour to go eyeshadow in 02 long beach

The colours are quite shimmery which I'm not quite sure about, but I really wanted some orange-y tones, since I have light blue eyes and orange-y eyeshadow works great with it. Sadly, most brands don't really carry orange-tones at the moment.


Rival de Loop - Berlin High Gloss Nail Colour in 65 and 55

I'm terrible with nail polishes. I pick up new ones all the time. Usually I go for pink-ish colours and my pink nail polish collection is ridiculous. So, I decided to go for other colours this time. The RdL polishes are ridiculously cheap. I've already tried the turqouise-green-ish one which... I don't know, I think I have to get used to having such a colour on my nails. The consitency was quite nice, I thought it was a bit better than some of the p2 nail polishes.

I didn't take close-ups of the Rival de Loop Nagellack Schnelltrockner spray (spray that helps your nail polish to dry quicker), but I've already used it and it really works. I applied four coats of nail polish (lol) the other day (base coat - silver - glitter - top coat) and was in a hurry, so I sprayed my nails with it after every layer and it basically saved me from running super late. Yay!

The last thing I've picked up was the p2 Perfect Face! Anti-Red Base. I wanted to try a make up base for a long time, but the only one I came across was from L'Oreal and therefore quiet expensive. So I immediately jumped on the possibility to try out a much cheaper product. I haven't used it yet, but it's supposed to make your face look fresher and hide any redness.

I'm probably trying a lot of these products tomorrow and I'm honestly super excited to use them! :D

Ransom Riggs: Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Aufmerksam wurde ich auf dieses Buch durch einen Post auf ONTD!. Ratzfatz wurde es bestellt, geliefert und gelesen. Selten war ich so in einer Geschichte gefangen, wie in dieser. Kennt ihr das, wenn ihr ein Buch lest und euer Herz vor Aufregung immer schneller schlägt? Wenn ihr so schnell ihr könnt weiter lest, obwohl ihr eigentlich nicht wollt, dass es zu Ende ist? Es aber doch tut, weil ihr wissen möchtet, wie es ausgeht? So war dieses Buch!

I stumbled across this book on ONTD!. I ordered it within the blink of an eye, it got delivered and was read within two days. Rarely did I get so caught up in a story like with this one. Do you know that feeling when you read a book and your heart start to race? If you try to read as fast as possible, even though you don't want it to end? Yet you want to know how it ends? This was how reading this book was like!

Charles Dickens: Great Expectations


Ich hab dieses Buch zusammen mit The Picture of Dorian Gray von Oscar Wilde und Pride and Prejudice von Jane Austen gekauft. Im Gegensatz zu TPoDG mochte ich Great Expectations überhaupt nicht. Ich hab es eigentlich nur zu Ende gelesen, weil ich es 1) hasse Bücher nicht zu Ende zu lesen und 2) ich finde, dass nicht-zu-Ende-gelesene-Bücher ihren Platz in meinem Bücherregal nicht verdient haben. Ja, es ist Charles Dickens... aber ganz ehrlich, ich dachte die ganze Zeit "jetzt komm doch mal zum Punkt!". Alles war für mich viel zu kleinkariert und detailiert erzählt. Nur das Ende hat mir gefallen. Ich war echt enttäuscht. 

I've picked this one up alongside The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Opposed to TPoDG I didn't like this one. I mainly just finished reading it, because I can't stand not finishing a book, because I feel like they don't deserve their spot in my bookshelf when not finished. Yes, I know it's Charles Dickens... but honestly, throughout the book I kept thinking "okay, can you please get to the point?!". It was quite a bore and far too detailed for my liking. I only liked the end of the book and I was quite disappointed about that.
