♡ Drugstore Make-Up Shopping ! ♡ Eye and Face products

I haven't been blogging for the past few weeks and it's almost the end of january but I still wish y'all the best for 2014 ! 

♡

 Okay sooooo, yesterday I went drugstore make-up shopping since there were a few products I wanted to try out and some products I needed to re-purchase! (this post might be a bit lame tbh)

On the first picture as you can see I only bought eye(brow) products, 2 mascara's and an eyebrow pencil.
I havent used any of these mascara's before but before I went to the drugstore I went to my cousins house and her advice in make-up products is really splendid so shout out to you Hannah! And she recommended me some mascaras and I went trough hers and she had this one by maybeline called GREAT LASH and I've always seen this mascara everywhere so I finally bought it, and then I also bought the Catrice GLAMOUR DOLL mascara just because the brush was the exact same as my beloved AVON Super Shock mascara (Which is absolutely the best mascara there probably is in my opinion) so I thought I might give it a try ! And Then I just bought my regular eyebrow pencil from ASTOR.

 

 On to the face products, as you can see I bought the L'oreal Le teint PERFECT MATCH.. which I am a bit confused about because I meant to get the loreal TRUE MATCH which apparently isn't being sold in any drugstore in Germany ?!?!?! (btw yes I go to german drugstores because it's neat where I live and the make up is most of the tiem cheaper there) And I googled this foundation the perfect match and google came up with all sorts of stuff about the TRUE MATCH so I guess .. this is the German kind of version of the loreal true match?!? Well I put it on and it looks amazing. Totally love it! I also re-bought the Anti-Age rewind concealer from maybelline.. love love love that concealer I am still using my MAC pro longwear but idk I love the maybelline one more. It just looks better on my skin, to me. then I also re-purchased the Catrice Camouflage cream. which I like to correct weird spots with on my face etc. AND last but not least, I bought the Essence fixing compact powder its just a pressed setting powder and I've heard from alot of people that this setting powder does quiet a nice job and it's really cheap so I thought why not give it a try! 

Well yeah that's everything I got for now but I guess I'll be back in the drugstore one of these days because I forgot to buy a whole lotta stuff I actually really need (as always haha) like eyeliner, fake lashes etc.

Gel nails !?

Okay sooo this post might be a bit lame. And I haven't been really blogging the past 2 weeks, which was because I got really really sick had to take antibiotics and was dead in bed all day snuggling up with my pillows. When I got better I still was not really in the mood to put something up here! But whatever back to the actual topic of this post haha. I have been in a struggle for months if I should get Gel nails done or notttttttt and it happened on saturday! A friend of mine showed me hers like 2 weeks ago and her nails were done SOOOO pretty so I couldn't resist anymore. At first I couldn't type on my cellphone properly or the computer keyboard I had troubles with doing a lot of other stuff aswel like doing the dishes putting my pants on properly ( I know it sounds weird but they are pretty long for me and I was not used to ever having long nails) But I got used to it after 4 days and they are sooooooooooooooo pretty I love them so much. I did not get a top layer of gel on my nails just because the girl who did my nails just put nailpolish over the dried gel ( I got them in clear not white or pink?) so if I use like Aceton free nailpolish remover I can just get the nailpolish off and put another colour on :D!

Feels good to be able to blog again! XOXO NJ

Avène (?!) Skincare!

Okay, to start off with.. I don't really have a skincare routine like all you girls do have with all the cleansing stuff and moisturizers and toners and what not, I normally simply just clean my face with babywipes and afterward I wash my face with antibacterial face wash, and sometimes I use a facial scrub. THATS IT. Because I feel like when I use all that facial stuff my skin feels like it's breaking apart? I think that's a good way to describe it. I never had any acne or don't have it, I sometimes get some pimples on my face (when I'm on my period but those are only like 2 or 3 ) but nothing dramatically or anything you can't really see. To put it short I just don't have the feeling that all that skincare stuff does much good for my skin/ helps me alot. BUT but but but my aunt who works at a pharmacy gave me a few months ago these skincare products from a brand called Avène? Which I had never really heard about...

She gave me the Gentle purifying scrub (50 ml) and the Cleansing lotion (50 ml) So I thought I'd just try them out and to be honest I do think they are pretty nice. At first I used the lotion the wrong way tho but after reading the back of the packaging (smart norah smart) I found out you just have to massage it in and just wipe it off with cotton wipes. Normally when I washed my faces and used the baby wipes I really thought everything was out of my skin but once I massaged that lotion into my skin I just saw how much product/make-up there was still hiding somewhere deep in my pores and afterwards my skin felt much more refreshed like yeaaaaaaah this is how your skin should feel. Aswel for the scrub it's not that special or anything... any other scrub would just do fine but my skin did feel really smooth after useing it (I already have a pretty smooth skin on my own) I also took a photo to show you guys what kind of consistency it has/looks like.

Sorry if the photo is not that sharp :(  But I have to say these products are pretty pricey the scrub was 16,99 euros and it's a really small tube and the lotion costed about 22 euros so I dont think I would have bought them out of my own it's just that I get alot of really good skin care products/Get big discounts on products from my aunt who works at a pharmacy.

Hope you liked my post ! XOXO NJ

MAC Pro Longwear Concealer

So, on friday I finally bought the MAC Pro Longwear Concealer which I've been wanting to buy for so long now, but I just couldnt put my Maybeline one away because I really loved that one it was just perfect for covering up the dark circles under my eyes but I ran out of it and I saw so much good reviews about the one from mac that I decided to just drop by at the MAC counter to test it out. I immediately fell in love with it, it's not only that it had a good coverage it also just stayed in place like I couldnt even smudge it away with my fingers once it dried up or anything it just stayed right on where the make-up artist from the counter had applied it underneath my eyes. And it did not crease up under my eyes not even after hours when I got back home (all concealers ALWAYS crease up under my eyes ) so I was pretty much in love with it at first sight hihi. But I also have to say I haven't used this product over a long time yet, so this is just myfirst impression on this product. (bet there are tons of really good reviews on this on the internet)

As you can see on the photo above the shade mine is in is the NW20 because I do have a rather olive darkish colour udnerneath my eyes so they gave me a warm tone to neutralize it.
The only sad thing ( Well not really sad tbh) about this concealer is that there comes out way more product than you actually need and you cannot just take the amout out of it as you want since it has a little pump on it which is not removable I think? Well maybe you can remove it but I would not recommend doing that because then your concealer will prob dry out in no time.
And oh before I forget ! Also what is not so convenient about this product is that the bottle is made out of glas. Which is not a plus for me at all since I am really clumsy I might drop the bottle and it'll break immediately  :((( boohoo so let's hope norah won't drop it.!

Workout ?!

So I have been doing a few arm and leg workouts because it's not that I am fa tbut I was just not happy with the way my arms and legs looked. And oh damn my legs felt like jello afterwards no matter how much I'de been doing them they are not getting easier haha. 

I'll put down here the workouts that I've been doing. 

So, for my legs I do either one of the above or do one in the morning and the other one in the evening but if I'm just on a super lazy day I only do one of them in the evening or around noon.

and so for my arms I do the ones above aswell once in the morning and once in the evening 

with 3KG weights(?! do you call them weights?! whotever)

Just felt like sharing this with anyone who reads my blog !
