I love the nail polishes and the cute accessories. I already have the black gel eyeliner which I really like, but I'm not going to buy the other colours because I only use black eyeliner.
so I'm definitely gonna buy the nail polishes and some of the bracelets and necklaces. oh and those baked eyeshadows remind me of the MAC ones :)) but who chosed these names?? "mother earth is watching you", "you’re my dragonfly, sugar!", "chirp chirp!" haha I seriously had to laugh at those names :D

anyway..
what do you think of the new LE? :)

P2 Crackling Top Coat Nail Polish Review

2011-05-21T10:26:00.000-07:00

Guten Tag :D
first of all, I'm not sponsored and I didn't get this product for free :) I just wanted to say this because it's my second post about this brand :')
so as I mentioned on Twitter, I'm really - I mean REALLY impressed!:D
may I introduce, my new favorite nail polish:

♡p2 crackling top coat nail polish♡

Crackle polishes make your polish looking "antique". As a layer over a coloured polish it cracks when its drying and so you can see the colour layer underneath.
there were 3 colours:

010 black explosion (I took this one)
020 silver blast
030 golden rush

description:
"apply over your favourite p2 colour nail polish and wait 2 minutes. for a shiny finish apply a transparent p2 top coat."

price: 1,75 €

great dupe for:

well, you don't have to apply a p2 nail polish. I used the "essence you belong to me nail polish" as a base coat :)
unfortunately, you can only buy p2 products in Germany, BUT essence also sells crackling nail polishes, but the black one was sold out at my drugstore. if you are from the US, you can get the essence one - for example at ULTA.
or you can make a swap with someone who lives in Germany :)

Essence "53 You Belong To Me" Nailpolish Review

2011-05-16T11:19:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone,
today I wanna do a little review on an amazing nailpolish which I bought last week at the drugstore!
It's a nail polish from the brand "Essence" in the colour "53 You Belong To Me" It's a baby blue/turquoise colour.

it's the same colour like MAC's Mischevios Mint Nail Polish (about $14.00) & Essie's Mint Candy Apple Nail Polish (but this one is a bit greenish) (about $5.00) :D
the nail polish costs 1,25 € here in Germany. In the US even $0.99 !! :O (e.g. at ULTA)

I took the pictures two days after applying the polish and I applied two coats of it :)
tbh, I didn't dry that fast, but I loooove the result *-* this nail polish "belongs to me" :')

forgot to show you the wand from the mascara in my giveaway video oops :')

MY EYELASHES

my lashes are naturally long ^_^ I only buy volumizing and defining mascara.
I didn't wear fake eyelashes in this pic, these are really my lashes! I LOVE THIS MASCARA *_*

Take a look at their mascaras: **click** those mascaras really remind me of loreal and maybelline mascaras!

(it's a german site btw)
