Deauty box of August - the 1 year anniversary box!

Hi Ladies,

It's deauty time again! And this month's deauty box is a special one because the Deauty box is already celebrating it's first birthday!

Pity, I couldn't enjoy these wonderful boxes from the begining on but I'm glad I found out about them cuz no other box is delivering to my country (Luxembourg). 

This month's special box contains 5 full size products that cost all together more or less 48 €. And there are two extras, one headband out of silk and as a client you can pick up an extra shower gel by Bioderma in the iU stores (but unfortunately they are only in Belgium).

Deauty box of August:

Menu of August

 

Bioderma - Sensibio H20 (Full size)

"Sensibio H20, is the 'must-have' micellaire solution: 1 flacon of Sensbio H20 is sold every 8 seconds in the world. And so every beauty addicts of the world have adopted this make up remover and cleaner. Full size: 100 ml! Price: 9,20€."

I wanted to buy this for ages but always forgot it or never found them in the stores I was looking for a cleansing solution. Yesh!!!! Can't wait to see if it's really that good. And it's true that I've seen so many beauty gurus using the cleaner of Bioderma.

Maybelline - Baby lips (Full size)

 

"Stop it with the classic lip balms! This cute little stick is the latest trend in the balms era: nourishes your lips with it's rich formula of shea butter, antioxidants and vitamins. Don't wait for the winter to heal your lips! Join the "Baby Lips" revolution. Full size! Price: 3,99 €."

I had this baby ball in blue, can't remember what taste it was, wasn't much using it althought it was good, maybe this one tastes better.

Garnier - Lisseur Optique (Full size)

"This revolutionary basic complexion concentrates light reflectors with exceptional optical properties for a matte immediately effect, that's filling and smoothing the skin. For best results, apply the base after your day cream. Full size! Price: 10,99 €."

Hmmm not that I need this already at my age but you never know. I'll give it a try anyway thought ;)

Clinique - Rouge Longtemps All Heart (Full size)

 

At Deauty, we celebrate our anniversary with color! Entrust your smile with the big brand Clinique lipstick that combines comfort and long-lasting. This red satin under the shades of brick, beige and pink is perfect for any occasion. Full size! Price: 21, 47 €."

Swatch:

 

I must say this is my first Clinique lipstick! I never was really a fan of their lipsticks, they never catched my attention when I was at the counter, althought I love their Chubby Sticks!!!! I'm really glad that I got this little goodie to maybe change my mind about their lipsticks. Color looks good thought. ^^

Avril - Blush (Full size)

"Brighten your complexion with this delicate blush thanks to April. Very pigmented, easy to apply and blends perfectly, it will enhance your cheeks with a veil of fresh and natural color. The plus? It contains no parabens! Full size! Price: 2,00 €."

The pigmentation looks quite good to me. And I love these little goldish shimmer in it. We'll see if it can keep up with my other peach blushes. I also love the fact that this one is paraben free :)

Final thoughts: I really enjoy this month's Deauty box! All the stuff looks nice to me. The fact that all of these are full size products and would cost me almost 50 €, if I'd buy them seperately, is amazingly awesome. This box really payed off!!!!!! The only con in my eyes are the extra gifts they are promising, I can't really benefit from them, the sild headband I don't know what to do with it and I wish they would have included that shower gel by Bioderma immediately in this box. But all in all as I said before I'm really satisfied with this one!

BTW I'm thinking about doing a "Back to School Giveaway! It might be already up by the end of next week. I still have to buy some stuff for it ;)

Have a nice day!

S.O.S. - I NEED YOUR HELP!!!!

Heeeey guys,

 I really need your help! I don't know what I did some time ago but somehow I managed to turn off my e-mail notifications. What I mean is I don't get any e-mails, whenever someone is leaving a comment below one of my post, anymore :( And I HATE that fact! But the main problem is I don't know how to turn it on again!!! Somehow everything I tried didn't work. So if you are an expert in these kind of things PLEASE let me know what I have to do!!!!

 THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH TO EVERY PERSON THAT REPLIES!!!!

Happy Birthday to ME!!!

Heeeey guys!

My birthday was on Monday, 12th August. I turned 24 years old.

 

And I thought I could share with you some of the gifts I got. I already did a wishlist, about 2-3 months ago, and I got a few things that were on it ;) wooohooooooo This year I got like almost just jewellery and lots of money!

The Chanel eyeshadow quad in 37 Variation

Konplott earrings! Not the color that was on the wishlist, since they were appearently sold out, but this color is very nice too and it's a limited edition ;)

A Marc by Marc Jacobs bracelet in rose gold, not the one from the wishlist but such as beautful as the thicker version.

My best friend bought me these sweet little turquoise earrings 

and this beautiful green-purple arm candy bracelet from La Vie en Or!

I also got this H&M chain

From me to me, since had these already but broke them. I found them in my car, one glas was broken and a bit of the frame too, unrepairable! And I just can't survive the summer without these ;)

 

And since it was my birthday and I couldn't buy the MK bags that were on my wishlist (sold out) I went for another pair of Ray Ban glasses, with green mirroring, from the new collection.

 

 Might be my new favorites :D They look soooo cool

I might get a few more gifts or money when some of my friends & family are back from holidays ^^ hihiii

I love birthdays and especially presents! 

From Luxembourg with love,

MY Love Letter To NIVEA!!!

Hey! What's up? How are you all doing?

I have to tell you about the amazing new product NIVEA launched some short time ago. 

What it is?

From now on you can buy body milk/lotion that you can rinse while you're showering. I don't know how you feel about body lotions but I always forgot them in my room or didn't feel like using some because I actually dislike to put creams on my body if I really don't have to, I just don't like when I put on my clothes on and they are glued to my skin for some minutes. I HATE that!!!!!! But everything is so much easier with this new innovative products!!!! I feel like this is a product made for ME.

How it works?

Well after you used your normal shower gel and rinsed, you just use some of this and allocate it all of your body and then you rinse! Simple as that.

 

I tried both bottles, the blue for dry skin which I think is better for me and the white for normal skin. I just feel the blue bottle makes my skin smoother! I will buy this for the rest of my life!!!!!! ^^

GO AND TRY IT FOR YOURSELF

So a huge THANK YOU to NIVEA!!! I <3 YOU!

In love,

Irsada

HOW TO: Avoid Shaggy Hair!

Hey guys,

Short blogpost!

I'm just giving you a tip how you can keep your hair in better shape if you have fuzzy curly hair that tends to look like mine when I do a ponytail. I call them my little antennas. So today you'll find out a secret of mine.

BEFORE

AFTER

 My secret weapon!!!!!

Yeah, this is really a toothbrush! I once read about this tip in a fashion magazin and had to try it out. And ever since then I can't imagine how I did it without it. You basically just spray some hair spray on the brush and then brush through your hair. You can of course spray it on to your hair and the brush through, it turns out the same. You can use an old toothbrush that you don't feel like using anymore for your teeth (I change mine every 3 months - also recommanded this way) or buy a new one only for the hair. Up to you!!!! 

You can also spray your hair and then go with your tangle teezer over it ;) works good too.

Have a great day!

XoXo

Deauty Box Of July!

Hello again,

This month's deauty box arrived on time :)

Deauty box of July:

This month I didn't get an ordinary deauty box but the first eco friendly deauty box that containts 5 products that are 100% organic!!!! They call it the Deauty Respect Box.

 

Menu of July!

Even the menu card was out of a different material than usual! It's printed on paper residues fruits and nuts based as well as recycled materials.

AVRIL - Bio certified pencil in copper bronze (Full size)

 

"With this certified pencil for the eyes and ecocert labeled, you could create a perfect summer look. Composed of 100% natural indegrents, he is advisable for sensitive eyes. He's perfect to create a retro look, to enhace your summer tan. Full size & price: 3,00€"

 

Pigmentation looks great! Can't wait to try this little new goodie!

AVRIL - nailpolish in #19 red opera (Full size of 7 ml)

"Thanks to Avril, you'll have summer air on your nails. The plus of this polish? He doesn't containt any formaldehyde toluene or paraben! And yet it last very long and dries in record time. Full size & price: 2,30€."

Well, we'll see about that! I guess it's time to remove my current nailpolish and try this one.

The Body Shop - Shea Sugar Body Scrub (Full size)

"This dous and nourishing scrub will be ideal to prepare your skin to the sun. it is composed of organic sugar, soybean oil and shea butter from Ghana, all Fair Trade. The body shop ensures a fair and regular income for small farmers while contributing to the development of community projects such as school construction. Full size & price: 5,50€."

This smells sooooooo great, it feels like a really good peeling for the skin!
And it feels great to know that when you actually buy this or one of the other scents that you support school constructions in Africa. ^^

René Furterer - Shea Decovery Kit (3 x 15 ml)

"The René Furterer shea range contains shea butter from Burkina Faso from fair trade. Not only Fair Trade products but also particularly suitable for dry and damaged hair. Nourishing shampoo: full size 150ml & price 13,25€; Revitalizing cream: full size 100ml & price: 19,95€; Concentrated nutrient; full size 100ml & price: 17,35€."

The kind of hair I have! Since I dyed my hair blond some years ago it still hasn't recovered yet and I like trying new products that are especially made for that type of hair. So I tried them this morning and I don't know yet what to think of them. In all 3 is only like half of the product left, I'll guess I can only use them once more. What I dislike too is that for the shampoo such as for the condionner you have to wait twice 2 minutes, which I don't like because I'm such a unpatient person I can barely hold the 2 minutes condionner in my hair each time ;) and I the nourrishing cream smells strange, I don't know if I like the smell or not...

ALEPIA - Organic Black Caramel Premium Soap (Full size)

"This thick paste is traditionally used by women of the country Maghreb to remove dead skin cells. Take a hot shower or a hot bath to open the pores, then you put on a coat of black soap, leave it for 5 minutes and rinse with warm water. The skin is then ready for a scrub. You can use a traditional loofah or even better the shea scrub from The Body Shop included in this Deauty box! Alepia products do not contain parabens or other pollutants. Full size & price: 16,95€."

The past doesn't look good in my eyes, kind of discusting in the hands and it smells... not good either but I don't doubt what it's made for and that it's made of 100% natural product. So I tried it this morning and I found it kind of difficult to apply it even on the skin, most of the product glued on my shoulders and it was hard to blend it. But I have to be honest, when I removed it with the second hot shower, my skin felt so great ;)

Final thoughts: yaaaaaay my first nailpolish (nailpolish addict talking!) I like the fact that they did such a box and that I can experience organic products, which are often so expensive for someone like me. You automatically feel better than with normal products that contain everything possible in them and probably have also been animal tested without your knowledge. I also LOVE the fact that 4 of 5 products are full size products that cost 27,75€ together if you would try to get them seperately, which proves once again that the box is totally worth it. (Furterer samples not included)

Hava a nice day and week! ^^

BIG NEWS - EXCITING WEEK!!!!!!!!!!

GUESS WHAT???

I graduated!!!!!

 

 

wohoooooooo I finally have my diploma in Management! ^^

I had my doubts because I thought I failed two exams but it turned out I only failed one of them and they gave me the chance to repeat em some day ago and I was told I passed. You can't imagine what a great feeling that was and still is. For me it means so much. I spend 4 years of hard studying, lots of sleepless nights, and lots of nervwracking moments behind my desk. Finally all that hard work payed off and I can proudly say I passed all of my exams, without cheating!!!! 

But those are not the only news I have!

I also got some extensions some days ago :D

BEFORE & AFTER:

The first picture was taken too close so that it kind of looks like it's almost the same lengh but as you can see above it isn't ;) and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the result!

It's the first time I got extensions! Real hair of course. Felt strange at first but now I got used to it. Amazing feeling!

SORRY for the bad I-phone quality!!!!!!!

It's been an exciting week!

May your new week be awesome too <333

Lots of hugs & kisses,

Irsada

My wedding styling!

Hey guys,

Last weekend one of my many cousins got married!!!! ^^ As you might know I have Balkan origins and that means there was of course a big Balkan wedding with lots of folklore dancing ;) That was a hell of a wedding, my feet hurt like hell for at least 2 days and I was tired for a few more days. 

This is my cousin in her beautiful white wedding dress:

 

 

My cousin with her husband

In her other dress, with her two brothers:

DRESS

And here you can see me with some family of mine! 

 

I was wearing a long black H&M dress with a upper and bottom part that is semi-transparent and oppen on the sides which is really great when you dance. I knew I wanted to wear a long dress since everybody else would wear a short dress and I also wanted to try out this new semi-transparent trend ^^ I was also wearing a black satine waterfall jacket over it cuz back then it was still freezing and not as hot as these days.

ACCESSOIRIES

My gold bag was also from H&M, the gold-black chain was borrowed from a friend who actually got it from another friend of mine while a shopping trip in NY. I was so busy that morning that I didn't had the time (or maybe also forgot about it) to put on some earings or other jewellery. And my black shoes with little black stones, that shimmer in the light, are from Jumex. I like them but I will never ever wear new shoes to a wedding again lol Up to 8 hours in new shoes can't end good!

HAIR

I got my hair done by a friend that works a hairdresser. Once again I wanted something different than usual. I went for a hair bun with a braid that goes from the front to one side and I also had a braid under my hair bun. (First 3 pictures are right from the hairdresser, no make up alarm!).

 

And this is what it looked like when I was done with my styling and ready to leave for the wedding! I really loved it and I also got a lot of compliments for it :D A huge thanks again to my friend Jess for that!

MAKEUP

Since I was in such a hurry I wasn't able to take pictures of my makeup from that day and after I got back from the wedding it wasn't that good looking anymore (lot of tears of joy, you know ;)) and so I recreated it ^^

 

Don't be scared about my highlighting and contoring, I know I look like a crazy person with war paint!!!! xD But blended out it turned out into this:

FACE

P2  Perfect Face makeup base

Revlon Photo Ready foundation in 004 Nude

Zoeva cream highlighter and bronzer (concealer palette)

Sleek Face Contour kit powder in light

Bobbi Brown shimmer brick in Pink Quartz (more hightlighter)

NARS Organsm blush

P2 Ferfect Face! finish powder in 010 white brilliance

Urban Decay All Nighter long lasting makeup setting spray

I was applying first the face primer, then the foundation, the I was using the highlighter and contor color from the Zoeva concealer palette and after I blended them out I had to do the whole highlighting and contoring thing again with powder (that's what you do for a long lasting, powder over cream ;) as powder of foundation). And then I also applied some blush and transparent powder over the whole face + the UD all nighter spray.

LIPS

NYX lipliner pencil in 810 Natural

MAC Please me lipstick

For the eyes I decided to also go for gold-black eyes! ^^

EYES

Catrice prime & fine eyeshadow base

Sleek yellow/gold eyeshadow (from the sunset palette, lid, blended out)

Sleek matt black (from the same palette, crease & upper lashline, blended out)

Sephora Jumbo Liner in Gold (on top of th lid, slightly blended out)

Maybelline Liner Express eye liner in black

Benefit they're Real! mascara

Catrice gel eye liner in #10 Black Jack with Jack Black (waterline)

Essence eyeborw stylist set (dark color)

Catrice lash/brow designer (to keep my brows in shape)

As mentioned above I was in such a hurry when I got back from the hairdresser that I had to do my makeup very fast and I had no time left to put on false lashes, nor to put on more jewellery nor to do my nails xD I guess for the next wedding I will plan sooner and better!

I wish my cousin all the best with her husband. May they be happy together for the rest of their lives :)

Have a great sunny week!
