Beauty: My daily MakeUp Routine

After posting my Firmoo.com review, a lot of you guys sent me mails, asking me about my pink lipstick:

I don't wear it every day, but I really love it. It's "Wet n Wild", and I found it at Walgreens for $2.00 on sale. It lasts super long! It looked a little bit too intense for my taste while I was still blonde. But now with the darker hair, I LOVE it!

And since now we started talking about makeup, I wanted to share the products I use every day:

I was a little shocked to see all this :oD since I don't consider myself a chick. But here is what I use:

• Manhattan 2 in 1 (Powder & Makeup)
• bronzing powder as blush (essence)
• eyebrow pencil (p2 from Germany... almost gone...)
• eye-shadow (p2) light color and brown or teal -> OR eye-shadow pencil LA Colors 
• waterproof mascara (Jane)
• lipgloss (Jane - various colors depending on the mood)

A huge expat problem for me was: finding new makeup I like. In Germany I was mainly using store-brand stuff, and since the day I started using makeup, "Manhattan" was my go-to brand. Especially the "2 in 1". It is just awesome... And now my last little bit is gone... Even though it says they have a branch in New York City, I can't find this specific makeup anywhere. Not online. Not offline.

So today I've spent a looong time at Walgreens, trying to find something similar. I ended up with the Covergirl "ready set GORGEOUS". The texture felt like my good old Manhattan product, and the color fits my teint very well. I hope, after a couple of days, I will still like it. We will see...

Do you have any awesome makeup suggestions for me? What are your go-to products?

My New Fashion Frames // Firmoo.com Review

Since my last cheap pair of fashion frames broke pretty much right away, I was looking for some new fashionable glasses. You can imagine how happy I was to be contacted by a Frimoo rep, asking me to review the whole order process AND a pair of glasses. Heck yea I did! So here we go!

I went to firmoo.com, to pick out some glasses right away. I knew I wanted a square frame, so that's what I selected. Going through all the models is fun, especially if you select the "Try On View". It gives you an idea, what the glasses will look like on you. Select the model-head that might reflect your own head and face dimensions, or upload your own photo!

I the end and after playing around a lot, I have ordered a black matte square frame. And I was surprised how quick my glasses arrived!

• I have ordered February 3rd.
• On February 5th I have received the shipping notice, including a tracking number.
• On February 11th I received my package.

I was a little surprised to get a parcel from China though, since I was sure Firmoo is an US based company... But after opening the box, I was very happy with what I got: The glasses arrived well-packaged in a hard case, PLUS a spectacle pouch, cleaning cloth and a tiny screwdriver.

The glasses fit perfectly and are super lightweight, but feel sturdy at the same time!

Feel free to check out Firmoo.com! New customers can get a 50% off code on the frames sitewide: http://www.firmoo.com/z/new-50-off.html
