Back from New York

New York is my favourite place EVER! :)

this first post will be just photos from our trip and the next post will be about the stuff i bought - here we go:my boyfriend and I wanted to try New Yorks best Burgers and this was the first one on our list - the Corner Bistro Burger. This buger was massive! ...and delicious :)

That's a church near our hotel in Queens.


This is me at Lombardis, we were there last year for the best pizza in town - my boyfriend loves it and i was a bit disappointed - WAY too little cheese for my taste. This time i ordered extra cheese but i'm still not sold...

Cool Graffiti

Can anybody explain this to me?!


Queens at night - near our Hotel

Classic, right? :)

So, of course White Castle Burgers are not said to be some of the best Burgers in NY but we had to try them simply because you can't get them here in Austria :)
They are tiny and with tons of onions...well, i don't really like onions but i liked the quotes on the burger cases :)

Cutest squirrel ever, right? :) This one was in Central Park (near the Apple Store)


Central Park...

Burger Joint Burger - this is without a doubt one of the best Burgers i've ever eaten!


The Shake Shack Burger - it was delicious and we ordered a Concrete ("Shacky Road") afterwards which was simply the best chocolate shake i've ever tasted!


Top of the Rock


This is my favourite fruit shake, orange-pinapple-coconut...hmmmm

and that's it, i have tons of other photos but i think it's enough :)

hope you enjoyed!

Neutral Look

This is the first time I upload a neutral look, honestly i don't do them very often, but sometimes i really love it simple!

I'm sure everybody has a few HG eyeshadows for neutral looks - so do I :)
I love

MACs Retrospeck e/s
MACs Next to Nothing e/s (LE Cult of Cherry)
MACs Vanilla e/s
those are the ones i use as a base

and for contouring the crease
MACs Hey e/s (LE Fafi)
MACs Kid e/s
MACs Soba e/s

I only have a few neutral e/s because i tend to do bold looks more often - you probably noticed :)

On this Photo i think i wore

Next to Nothing e/s as a base on the lid up to the crease
Retrospeck e/s to add sparkle on the lid
Soba e/s to contour in the crease
and white eye kohl on the inner rim of the eye to neutralize the redness

Plushlash Mascara in Black
Girl Boy Browset

MACs Well dressed p/b

MACs Pink Fish TLC (LE Hello Kitty)

Hope you like it!

NOTD - P2 Gigantic

Hope you love it as much as I do!

...and please ignore the note on my inner wrist :)

P2 Nail Polishes

So P2 is a brand which is only available in Germany and Austria - which is a shame because they're awesome!

They do have a whole cosmetic range but i didn't found it as interesting as their nail polishes :)
I bought 3 polishes yesterday and tried one of these - opaque with 2 coats and lets see about the staying power...

Their range for nails is quite big, they have various nail care products aswell - from top coat over cuticle oil to handcream. I also bought the Anti-Split Coat because the nail on my left indexfinger tends to split.

It says "Clear nail polish protects the nail tip from splintering on the edge. A flexible and waterproof layer strengthens the nail and protects the nail tip from softening in water."
IF this polishes is working i'll buy more of their care range but for now i'm testing this one for a few weeks :)

Here are the polishes and the care laquer:

Left to Right: 208 Rich & Royal, 120 It's Hot, 191 Gigantic, Anti Split Coat

The blue one is stunning, the red is just a classic red and the grey one ha a tint of purple - great colours!

The colours range from classic to dark reds, bright pinks and purples, teals and blues to neutral beiges and black or dark chocolate and i also saw a pastel yellow and a green. The textures are cream or shimmer - no glitter :(
AND the have a matte top coat! I think i will love this brand! :D

That's my first Review for this brand, i'm sure many will follow!

Bye!

Unusual Smokey Eye

Gosh, I used SO many colours on this one, i'm not sure if i can tell you exactly what i did :)

Basically i started do draw the shape with MAC fl in Blacktrack, blended and worked with black and purple e/s to soften the edges...this is what i remember:

Illamasqua UEC130
MAC Select Cover-Up in NW15
Illamasqua PF135
MAC Powder Blush in Pink Swoon

MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack
MAC e/s in Carbon
MAC e/s in Fig. 1
MAC e/s in Vanilla
MUFE e/s 92
i'm sure i used more, but you get the idea :)
MAC Plushlash Mascara in Black
Browset in Girlboy

MAC Cremesheen in Petite Indulgence (LE)
