Hello there!

During my holidays I visited a friend of my boyfriend in Germany! It was nice to go back there, as people are so friendly, the food is nice (yes, I like saeurkraut, but unfortunately I didn't have any this time around) and most importantly for this blog, the beauty products are great and cheap! Forget France for beauty products, give me Germany any day!

Of course I had to go to Rossmann, the German equivalent to Boots (but better!) That's where I bought all the makeup I am featuring in this post (except the NIVEA lippy, I bought it at the NIVEA HAUS in Berlin). I cannot stress my love of Rossmann enough. If you go to Germany, you HAVE TO go to Rossmann! Their own brand are dirt cheap and pretty good, and also they stock those brands we don't have here in the UK: Essence, Catrice, Manhattan.

I ramble, but I am sure you want to see the goods!

Clockwise:

Essence Legends of the Sky Eyeshadow Palette: 01 From Zero to Hero

Essence Legends of the Sky Lipstick: 02 Flygin Higher

Essence Crystalliced Liquid Eyeshadow: 01 It's a Snow-Woman's World

Synergen 3 in 1 Getonte Creme (Tinted Cream): 02 Samt

Manhattan High Shine Lipgloss: 53 L

Rival de Loop Young Baked Eyeshadow: 03 Moonlight

Manhattan Intense Effect Eyeshadow: 21A Devil Honey

NIVEA Pure & Natural Colours Lipstick: 73 Vintage Mauve

Eyeshadows: Aren't they all pretty?!

Tinted Cream for blemished skin

Gorgeous lips! Yes, a white lipstick is weird, but it has golden sparkles, and I have dark lips anyway. Will look good on top of so-so lipstick I have!

Rival de Loop Young and Synergen are Rossmann's own brands.
