Glossy Box January/Jänner 2012

Today is a good day. My camera's working again, and therefore I can continue blogging. And I just picked up my first Glossy Box ever from the post office. A couple of weeks ago I decided that 2012 will be a glamurous year and so I subscribed to the Glossy Box. This is the Austrian January/Valentine's Day box. 

Heute ist ein guter Tag. Meine Kamera funktioniert wieder und daher kann ich auch wieder bloggen. Außerdem habe ich gerade meine allererste Glossy Box von der Post abgeholt. Nachdem ich vor ein paar Wochen beschlossen habe, dass 2012 ein glamuröses Jahr wird, habe ich die Glossy Box abonniert. Diese ist die österreichische Jänner-/Valentinststagsbox. 

This is what the box looked like when I picked it up from the post office. Lovely, isnt't it? 

So hat die Box ausgesehen, als ich sie auf der Post in Empfang genommen habe. Hübsch, oder?

Inside was the actual Glossy Box: a box of very good quality and the perfect size to re-use it as a packing for presents or candy. 

Darin war die eigentliche Glossy Box: eine Schachtel in guter Qualität und der perfekten Größe, um sie als Geschenk- oder Pralinenverpackung wiederzuverwenden. 

In the box is another wrap, including a card with information about the Glossy Box and about the products inside. 

In der Schachtel ist noch eine Verpackung und eine Karte mit Informationen zur Glossy Box und den enthaltenen Produkten.

I finally made it to the products! In my box are: CLINIQUE High Impact Mascara (a beautiful black mascara), KÉRASTASE Elexir Ultime (a "hair-oil" that's supposed to give you beautiful hair), KIEHL'S Ultra Facial Moisturizer (a moisturizer for the face that also protects you from UVB light), LANCÔME Génifique (an anti-aging serum - Hello, I'm 28!) and STYX Orange & Tangerine Body Lotion (I think that anything by the Austrian natural cosmeticy company STYX is great). 

I haven't tested the products yet, but I'm really happy with my Glossy Box!

Ich habe es geschafft zu den Produkten durchzudringen! In meiner Box sind: CLINIQUE High Impact Mascara (ein schöner schwarzer Mascara), KÉRASTASE Elexir Ultime (ein "Haaröl", das den Haaren einen schönen Glanz verleihen soll), KIEHL'S Ultra Facial Moisturizer (ein Moisturizer für das Gesicht, der auch vor UVB-Strahlen schützt), LANCÔME Génifique (ein Anti-Aging-Serum - hallo, ich bin 28!) und STYX Orange & Tangerine Body Lotion (Ich glaube alles von STYX ist toll). 

Ich habe noch keines der Produkte getestet, aber ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Inhalt meiner Glossy Box!

Yours,

New Nail Polish: GOSH Miss Sweety

I bought a relly nice nail polish today at BIPA. It's a really pretty nude color by GOSH cosmetics that's called 595 Miss Sweety. 

It is my first GOSH nail polish and I was really curious about it, at it was not exactly expensive (€ 8.49) and it turned out to be a really positive surprise. It's really opaque, the brush has a good quality, the color is perfect and it dries really fast.

Nude tones are perfect for black and white nail stickers, so I tried a couple of different ones. Which one do you like the best? 

I used the following products: 

• Nude nail polish: GOSH 595 Miss Sweety
• Clear top coat: essence quick dry topcoat
• Stickers: Blue Elf Beautynail and Pro Art

And here's how to do it:

• Apply nude nail polish twice, let it dry really well.
• Stick the stickers to your nails.
• Apply a layer of top coat.

Yours,

Girly Kitschy Winter Nails

Sorry for not posting for such a long time, December was a hell of a month but things are getting better now. Today I decided to make myself a wellness-and-beauty-evening at home and did my nails. There's no snow in Austria at the moments, but still - it's winter! So I need snowflakes on my nails! I'm also really into pink and purple, so I decided to make pink nails with purple glitter.

I followed the instructions of MissChievous' Sparkly Glitter Christmas Nails tutorial - and I think the result wasn't to bad for the first try! 

I used the following products: 

• Pink nail polish: MNY Maybelline New York 261
• Clear top coat: essence quick dry topcoat
• Purple glitter: De Cortions AD
• Snowflake stickers: Blue Elf Beautynail

And here's how to do it:

• Apply pink nail polish twice, let it dry really well.
• Stick the snowflakes to your nails. Use larger ones on larger nails and smaller ones on smaller nails. 
• Apply one layer of top coat, let it dry until it's still sticky but no longer wet. 
• Apply the pink glitter on the tips using a soft eye shadow brush. 
• Apply another layer of top coat.

Yours,
