Review: Sleek Blush "Mirrored Pink"

I bought this a little while back and totally forgot to blog about it. It's the limited edition blush "Mirrored Pink" from Sleeks aqua collection and it is amazing.
Some photos:





It has great pigmentation and is smooth. Absolutely lovely. Basically, it's verything you can ask of a blush


Do you own it? Love it as well?

X-Mini Blogger Brunch

Last Friday I had the pleasure to attend the X-Mini brunch. I never heard of the X-Mini before, so I was quite curious.


The look adorable for starters, some impressions:






There are several generations, this is the X-Mini Max Stereo. Here you get two smaller capsule speaker that are magnetic so you can put them together.


The new one is the X-Mini Uno, here you have only one speaker, but it's new ceramic driver makes it even better than the two tiny ones.



It has incredibly amazing sound quality and is so tiny that it fits in every purse. See for yourself:



You can even put them together to get an even louder entertainment, even though one is really enough.


I'm gonna review it seperately as well with a ton of details and pictures, but I can tell you one thing - I LOVE IT.

Love,
Guinevere

Essie Neon Collection 2013

I'm always excited to see new essie collections and when there are neons involved I tend to jump around. *g*

Essie released six bright/neon shades. :-)

bouncer it's me: vivid blue velvet
bottle service: bright neon pink
dj play that song: jam-iest neon plum
shake your $$ maker: electric green
saturday disco fever: fire coral
boom boom boom: bright party pink

Essie surprised me with the frog green "shake your $$ maker". The shade I was most interested in:



It's "natural" finish is a semi-matte:



I prefer polishes that are shiny, so I used a top coat:



What you see are three coats. It's really pretty, but for a neon it could be brighter. This is more of a frog green. If you use a white polish as a base you can brighten it up though.

I'm gonna get the plum colour as well I think. Once more essie gave us some beautiful colours in a great quality. Nevertheless, those aren't unique shades. I can't wait to see what comes next.

Will you get some?

Review: Puma Sync

Puma released two new fragrances "Sync Man" and "Sync Woman". Let's take a look at them:






Pretty, right? But they aren't just pretty on the outside. They smell gorgeous! Summery and fresh. My favorite kind of scent.

Let's start with "Sync Woman": The first scent that reaches your nose is a fresh peach and right after that the floral scents come through, but without being heavy. I love it.

The details:
Head Notes: berries, papaya, tangerine,
Middle Notes: Lotus flower, water chestnut
Base Notes: peach, amber, sandalwood

The male fragrance is wonderful as well. My boyfriend stole it immediately and I love it on him. It's fresh and "manly" at the same time.

The details:
Head Notes: lime, green notes, bergamot
Middle Notes: rosemary, lavender, geranium
Base Notes: amber, cedar, guaiac wood

I definitely recommend it. :-)

Love,
Guinevere

Review: Origins GinZing Mascara


Origins stopped selling their make up in Austria a little while back, until now. They released a new mascara. The "GinZing" mascara. Another item of the GinZing series. :-)


I was a little intimitated when I saw the brush. It's huuuuge.








What Origins says about it:

"100% visible boost in lushness & lift - Go from wimpy to whoa with Nature's lash-boosting pro. In an instant, the mega-plush brush sweeps up, fans out & delivers a powerful formula with eye-opening Carnauba Palm to every last lash. The result: soft, long, lush lashes that never look spiky, brittle or clumpy."

What do I say?

I didn't expect much to be honest, but I absolutely love it! It curls, lengthens and stays put. It's not waterproof, but it persisted some serious tears of laughter. *g* Definitely a new favorite of mine. I can totally recommend it!

Love,
Guinevere

Origins Recycling Day

Today was the day you could get your free full size eye cream from Origins. 



Of course I got mine, my mom got one too. You could choose between "Plantscription" and the famous "GinZing". 







Still can't believe it. That's so cool. I already reviewed the GinZing eye cream here. Did you get yours?
