Rainy Day OOTD (unconventional)

Hello Muggles,

since I got my aubergine-coloured H&M super pants (xD) I wanted to do an Outfit of the Day post! 

I just love these pants because of their colour and wearing comfort - it's unbelievable how comfy they are. ;)

Well, the problem always was and still is that I don't have the best opportunities to take pictures of myself (I hate take pictures of myself in addition!) because I don't have a big mirror yet aaand I also don't have anyone else to take pictures of me (what I hate more than taking pictures of myself is letting other people take pictures of me!) - you see the dilemma! xD

Today I just felt like doing it anyway... and so I did. I hope you have a little fun at least. ;)

What I'm wearing (Fashion):

Minni Mouse Shirt - H&M (from London - oh yeah! :D) 

Aubergine Super Pants (this is how I will call them from now on :D) - H&M

Olive Parka - H&M

Scarf and hat, bonnet whatsoever - H&M

Shoes - Vans (bought them on ebay)

And this is me (because I didn't really showed my face before) having a bad hair day.

What I'm wearing (Beauty):

Catrice Eye Brow Stylist in 020 - "Date with Ashton"

Manhattan Professional Mascara 

Catrice Colour Infusion Longlasting Lipstain in 020 - "Rose Wood Avenue"

Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm in Hibiscus

I hope you liked that post even though it's quite different from other people's OOTD's. :)

Leave a comment!

See you next time,

Hermione



OH, and to everyone, who's going back to Hogwarts today: HAVE FUN! :D

What's in my bag?

Hey everyone,

today I'm going to show you what I found in my backpack to do the "What's in my bag? - TAG". :)

As I said I'm not wearing a handbag but a "Dakine" backpack and it's the same I used as my school bag.

As you can see it's dark grey with silver-grey ornaments on it and it has light blue / turquoise zippers.

I don't think that it is very pretty but it's okay and it was the best I could find. I used a black one with pink and purple flowers and some pink dots on it before and I absolutely loooved it - maybe this is why I'm giving the new one quite a hard time. :(

What I like about the grey one is the inside, which looks like someone painted it with watercolours:

Okay, so there were loads and loads of receipts in there, which I didn't want to take a picture of... :D

Basically that's all what was in there. You can see my boyfriends Nintendo 3DS, which is ultra dirty (I actually own a Nintendo DSi in matte black, which looks far more chic but at the moment I'm using the 3D one), an umbrella (how exciting!), my iPod, which I love, three lip balms (two, which aren't worth talking about and my holy grale the Burt Bee's Tinted Lip Balm in Hibiscus - I did a blog post about it, have you seen it yet?), two hair clips, a sample of wall colours (I actually wanted the lighter one for my living room but my boyfriend and me went for an olive green in the end, which looks good as well) and last but not least my Yoshi purse.

I got this purse about a year ago and I absolutely adore it. I love Yoshi - he has always been my favourite game character and I think he's just super cute. :D You can still get this purse on http://www.emp.de/ I don't know if they do international shipping but I'm quite sure that everyone from the EU can shop there. :)

Well, that's already it. :)  I hope you liked it and I would be happy if you left some comments in the box below. Also check out my older posts - maybe there is something you find interesting. :)

See you next time,

Hermione

Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm (Hibiscus) REVIEW

Hey everyone,

today I'd like to talk a bit about my favourite Lip Balm, which is the Tinted Lip Balm by Burt's Bees. 

Before I start I want you to know a little of my background in regards to cosmetics: There simply is none! ;)  I'm 21 years old now and I'm just starting to like some tiny bits of Make-Up and Cosmetics. Sounds weird for you... and for me as well. :D What I atually wanted to say is that I only used some Lip Balms you can get in a supermarket while buying vegetables. ;)  Before Burt's Bees I used Lip Balms from "Labello" and "Bebe" and some totally no-name products and I never realized that they didn't help AT ALL! 

After seeing some girls talk about Burt's Bees products on Youtube I got curious and bought the Hibsicus Lip Balm. It is quite expensive, I think (7,95 Euro) - BUT it really helps and it looks gorgeous on your lips!

 Just to show you the colour and the very nice packaging, I post this picture, which I took from: 
http://myrayofbeauty.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/burts-bees-hibiscus-package.jpg because my Lip Balm fell down and doesn't look pretty at all anymore. :(

Okay, let's get serious. As I said I really like the packaging. It's simple but I really love the dark brown combined with the reddish Hibiscus colour.
The smell reminds me of red tea and I really like it as well. :)
The texture is okay. It's very creamy BUT it does this thing with your little wrinkles on the lips, if you know what I mean. ;) Sometimes it just doesn't look that good, especially when your lips are very dry. But I don't mind as long as the lip balm makes them soft again. ;)
The colour itself is beautiful! I was looking for a colour that is slightly darker than my own lip colour and underlines it. And what should I say? Well down you people from Burt's Bees. :D I will show you some pictures of my lips before and after applying the lip balm in some days. ;)
As I said several times now the effect is brilliant! My lips never felt so soft and nice and I'm just convinced by this lip balm.

All in all: I'm in love. ;)  I really recommend the Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm and I'm going to get it in different colour shades as well in the future. ;)

I hope the review was helpful and you had fun. :)

Have a nice day and see you next time,
Hermione
