Wanna get a natural look? - MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural

Actually I am a bargain hunter, but everybody is crazy about MAC and I have heard only positive things about it. So I decided to buy my first MAC product.

As it is really difficult to find fluid make up or powder in dark shades in Germany, I decided to take the Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Dark.

It is described by MAC as:

"A luxurious domed face powder with minerals, slowly baked to provide a dimensional yet natural-matte finish. Provides perfect low coverage. Use to set and fix foundation or as a touch-up throughout the day."

On working days I use this powder alone. I also use it as my setting powder. I apply it with a powder brush to get a light coverage. If I want a full coverage, I apply the powder with a sponge. It gives me a lovely natural and matte finish.

Would I buy it again?

Yes, definitely! I really like the finish. It feels so silky and gives me a light glow on my face. I am very satisfied with this product. My skin is very soft and it doesn't look cakey at all. 

Negative aspects:
I don't like the packaging. It doesn't come with a mirror or a sponge.
I got the feeling that I have to touch-up the powder during the day especially on my oily T-Zone, but I wouldn't like to carry it with me. I am afraid it will break.

Price: 26 €/$

I heart breakfast

Yesterday my honeybunny and me went to a café to take a breakfast. It was sunday morning and we woke up late. You all now I love breakfasts on sunday morning.

 

This was our breakfast:

Milk Coffee

Croissants, Bread rolls

Omelet with tomato and mushroom

Afterwards we went to hospital in order to visit family friends. They have a baby. That was soo cute!

New Fashion Jewelry

By coming home from work, I stopped by H&M. Actually just to have a look around, but then I fell in love with these earrings. They are so pretty. I have a weakness for big earrings. However I only wear gold-colored jewelry. 

...and these jewelry were presents by my mother-in-law to-be. She is so cute. She always buys something for me when she goes to Tamil shops.

This necklace-set has such a pretty color. Recently she brought me a saree in the same color from Sri Lanka.

Bangles are a must-have when you wear a saree. These golden-black ones will match up to every saree.

Here in Germany there are only a few occassions for wearing a saree. I always enjoy it.

Do you like wearing saree or are you fed up with it?

Love,

Thiya

First Award: 10 random things I like

Yeah I received my first blog award by Fashion Fairytale. She is a cute German blogger. 


And now I have to name 10 things I like...

1. My family: I am so happy that I got them. They are always there for me and I can trust them. Especially my sisters. I love to meet my mum & dad & my sisters and spend time together. We don't live near each other, so these "meetings" are quite rare.
   
   
2. My boyfriend: Although we are living together, I love to go out with him. I hate being at home all the time. A perfect date would be: going out to a nice restaurant and afterwards to cinema OR cocktails at a cool bar and then dancing.
   
    
3. Friends: On a Saturday evening meeting friends spontaneously and spend a nice evening. That's fun!
   
    
4. Summerrain: In the morning when I wake up and the rain is pattering down on earth. I love the sound. It is nice to know that it is summer and it is not cold outside.
   
    
5. Music: I can't imagine a life without music. Sometimes I hear a certain song and I can remember special moments.
   
    
6. Online-Shopping: Even on sundays all shops are open in the internet. I love to order clothes at H&M, make up or other lovely things at ebay.com. I can hardly wait until the postman comes and brings me all the wonderful stuff I have ordered. I love unpacking them.
   
    
7. Chocolate: Yes, I have to admit I am a Chocolate-Lover.
   
    
8. Books: I love reading books especially written by Barbara Wood. You must read "Virgins of Paradise". It's sooo awesome. I like good family stories with suspense.
   
    
9. Breakfast: I love taking a breakfast on Sunday mornings. Waking up late and taking a yummy breakfast instead of lunch. With various bread rolls, smoked trout or salmon, cheese, jam, fried eggs, ...
   
    
10. Weekend: I love my weekends. There is nothing better than having free time. Just doing what you want and spending time with your loved ones.

Now I'd like to tag:

I love burning lips

Here comes my declaration of love to Carmex.

It is the best lip balm I have ever tried. It makes my lips sooo smooth and it really moisturizes. It feels light and sheer on my lips. Most of the lip balms I used so far dried up my lips as soon as I stopped using them but with Carmex they remain soft.

It smells so good. It reminds me of Vicks VapoRub with a touch of vanilla. When I apply it on my lips there is a nice cooling effect. My lips are slightly burning. Curiously I love this feeling :-)

I have even tried Carmex under a lipstick and it looks and feels great! It is the No. 1 lip balm in the U.S.A. Even stars and make-up artists use it.

 I prefer the original Carmex in the jar more than the one in the tube. Which lip balm do you use?

Heat - Catch the fever

Hello ladies,

for the last days the weather was very cloudy and rainy... It feels like autumn. Usually it has to be sunny and hot here in Germany. But eiter way there is one good thing...this is the perfect weather for wearing the first perfume by Beyoncé Knowles. It is called Heat and the scent features notes of red vanilla, orchid, magnolia, neroli, and blush peach. It comes as a Eau de Parfum. 

The first impression I get from this perfume is that I love the bottle. This combination of red and gold and its shape is just sexy! Surprisingly the fragrance is very fruity at first. But later it gets more deepness. I like it. But I think it is more suitable for autumn/winter times. In summer I like to wear flowery scents.

You can get 30 ml for 24 €/32 $.

Anyway it is a must-have for all Beyoncé fans. 

If I were a boy...I would marry her!

Do you know what? I love Beyoncé Knowles! I just love everything of her: her beauty, body, style, music,... just everything! Lucky Jay Z to have her.

House of Deréon is the fashion line by Beyoncé and her mother Tina Knowles founded in 2004. It is named by her maternal grandmother Agnèz Deréon. House of Deréon represents the three generations of women. Its tagline is "Couture.Kick.Soul".

In 2006 Beyoncé and her sister Solange launched the junior line Deréon which is cheaper priced. The tag line for Deréon is "Where the sidewalk and catwalk meet". Recently the ad campaign for Deréon's Fall 2010 collection was released. You see a much different Beyoncé here, but I love it! Changes are good for her business. Who wants to see the same Beyoncé for years?!

How do you like the new Beyoncé?
