Hey dolls I've bought the new (in Austria) Manhattan Lip Lacquer in the drug store Bipa. For my channel I've filmed a first impression review showing you how the lip stick/gloss wears and looks like.  On the display in the store the product was described as  - lip stick and lip gloss in one - long wearing - moisturizing  - intense color And first I thought OMG this looks exactly like APOCALIPS by RIMMEL.  PACKAGING: The packaging is clear on the bottom where you can see the actual color and it gets darker and darker until it reaches a deep black on the top. The top is formed as a broken diamond. The packaging looks pretty cool. The color I got is 50G Reds Rock. There are 5 shades to choose from in Austria. Experiment I've started the first impression review at about 6:30 pm. The first thing I noticed was, that the first time you open the lip lacquer the color comes to the top so it makes it test proof in the store.  NOTICE:  In Austria we do

Milk - an amazing natures product. I'm sure many of you eat it every day - so do I. Milk contains high levels of vitamins A, D, E, which is why this dairy product has fantastic anti-inflammatory properties and is great for soothing burns. Milk also contains lactic acid, which is a natural skin exfoliant. Since the extraordinary liquid is already sitting in your fridge for your morning breakfast, give this time-honored milk beauty recipe a try. Nourishing Milk and Honey Facial Scrub 3 Tbsp milk (choose whole milk for drier skin) 3 Tbsp honey 1 Tsp raw oatmeal, crumbled Mix all your ingredients together in a bowl until they form a thick paste. Apply the mixture onto clean skin and massage for a few minutes with your fingers. Rinse the scrub with lukewarm water and a washcloth and pat dry. And voilà, you now have amazing skin : ) YOU ARE WELCOME :P Hope you enjoyed it xoox Yelena

Hey Guys.  I don't want to sound vile but I wanted to show you my Chanel collection. Most of this products where gifts from my family and friends for my birthday. I adore my products and Chanel overall.  DISCLAIMER: I tested all of this products for a few month now and know how they work :) MY COLLECTION Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation in B30 I got this foundation for myself before my birthday, because I saw a lot of videos of Lisa Eldrigde talking about it. It is a medium coverage foundation which can be built up. I apply it either with a brush or my fingers. It gives a beautiful semi dewy finish - allthough my skin is combination it suits me very well. The shade B30 isn't going to match me in the winter, but next year in the sommer months when I have a tan :) Le Beiges Poudre Belle Mine Naturelle B30 This powder, OMG, is the most amazing powder that I've ever tried. It is beautifuly fine and smells amazing. I love it. This should describe how amazin

I went in and bought some interesting new products.  Catrice Absolute Nude Eyeshadow Palette This palette contains 5 amazing, nude eyeshadows.

You get a nice shimmery vanilla color, a shimmery toupe, a nice warm toned middle brown, a copper color , a cool toned dark brown, and a dark brown with amazing gold shimmers. On the back you can find instuctions on how to use all the eyeshadows and how to stansform your makeup look from day to night.  Catrice Wet Shine Stain Long Lasting Lip Lacquer  I got 2 lip stains from the limited edition THRILLING ME SOFTLY. I got the colors C02 Thrilling(deep purple) and C03 Fatal(red). When I swatched these lip stains in the store I saw the difference between the two colors. Now at home(in the evening) I see the same color. Here you have the swatches, decide by your

BEFORE AFTER Today I wanted to do the Crest Whitestrips Supreme review. I got this product from the website which I made a blogpost about. I was really disappointed when I saw how yellow my teeth looked in my last video, so I needed to do something.  The Crest whitestrips SUPREME are the most effective whitestrips on the market right now. They are the strongest.  And you can really FEEL that when you wear them. This type of strips have to be put on 2 times a day for 30 minnutes. You can wear them one immediate after the other.  NOW TO THE REVIEW 1. Day I got them on a thurstday and had to immediatelly try them on. You can notice that they are not sticky. They slide in the mouth over your teeth. On the first try I didn't notice any pain. In the evening I put them on again, and there is were the pain started. It felt so bad, I thought I am going to die.  2.Day In the morning it was really bad, I wore it to work. And OMG I couldn't drink noth

I've thought about getting Crest Whitestripes for the longest time, and finelly I found a website in Germany that sells the original one to Austria.  Ofcourse, before that I went on Amazon.at and looked up all the strips that they offered, but nothing seemed like its the original. Thank God this website exists so that everybody is able to get Crest allthough it isn't sold in their country.  The website lookes like this.  You can get all kinds of whitestrips that Crest offers.  - Advanced Vivid  - Professional Effects - Supreme - Intensive Professional Effects - Vivid - Gentle Routine - 2Hour Express - Stain Shield I am really impressed with the products they have in stock. And I my opinion Crest is amazing.  Shipping:  The shipping took 3 days and the package came in a letter, so I didn't had to pay any shipping costs. They also sent you a tooth shade guide so you can match your teeth and see the results at the end of

Welcome back :) Last month I've accidently ordered the Yves Rocher Make Up Palette.  I don't know how familiar you are with this brand- but its established in France and focused on organic ingridients and beeing fair to the nature. This company doesn't use animal ingredients, is paraben and cruelty free in every way.  In Austria this company is known for its free gifts with purchase. This time the condition was, if you ordered products worth 45€ you get the palette for free. I noticed that at the checkout. Great deal isn't it?! I know that Yves Rocher products are always high pigmented and buttery and that was the case this time also.  The palette contains 15 eyeshadows, 7 lipglosses, 2 blushes, a mirror and 3 brushes. You also get to picture instuctions on how to create a day and a night look.  Yves Rocher eyeshadows are always pigmented and buttery in texture. The eyeshadows given, go from light to dark so you have a large variety of colors. The

I've been ordering the GlossyBox Austria since October 2012. So far I've got some good and also some non that usefull products :) I often wanted to cancel the abo.  But, fortunatelly I continued to get the Box, because you never know what you are getting the next time :D  This month there was a special editon box - the BRITAIN EDITION GLOSSYBOX ! And I must tell you this time the box didn't dissapoint me.  The Box was all about British brands - brands established and produced in the UK! I was and still am excited! Today I am going to show you all the products and swatches. The products descriptions are from the brands websites.  Products in the box were:  - Nail Inc. Kensington Caviar Top Coat - 10ml / 14,00€ - NailGirls London White #1 - 10ml / 9,90€ - MeMeMe Cosmetics Cherub's Blush Cheek & Lip Tint - 12ml 7 6,40€ - Mitchell and Peach Luxury Hand Cream 60ml / 20,00€ - Steamcream All-In-One Natural Moisturiser For Face Body & Hands - 75gr

Today I wanted to talk about my favorite base and top coat. They're from the essence- studio nails - better than gel nails collection which is in my oppinion one of the best :) This line contains: - essence - studio nails - better than gel nails french tip glue - essence - studio nails - better than gel nails base and top sealer - essence - studio nails - better than gel nails french nail tip remover - essence - studio nails - better than gel nails professional french tip nails - essence - studio nails - better than gel nails nail file This line is made to perform like real salon gel nails and some products get that just right. So far I've tried the essence - studio nails - better than gel nails base and top sealer. On the back of the bottles you see the instractions on how to use it. But I found that these two products don't work as well when applied as recommended, but when used as a base and a top coat. The essence company recommends to use yo

Hey Guys I've a new tutorial on my channel.. Its my updated contouring and highlightning routine. The other one on my channel was to bad quality, since I filmed on a crapy camera :) Products used:  - Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream in light - RC Cosmetics 4 piece Kabuki Brushes - Lenka Kosmetik Concealer Palette - Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer - MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in NW20 I love the RC brush kit. It has made its way into my all time favourites :) And they are great quality  In my video I've used the tapered brush to apply the contour. To blend it even more I've used the domed brush.  For my foundation I've used the flat top kabuki brush - which is amazing :D LOVE IT And to blend my undereye concealer I've used the angled brush.. It has a great shape so it's perfect for that. And what I forget to do in the video is to set my concealer with powder. I love the RIMMEL Stay Mate in 001  Here you can see the

Hey there beautiful! I finally got my RIRI WOO lipstick after 4 weeks of waiting. There were some problems with my adress since I put the wrong number in :) The lipstick is described as a take on the all time MAC classic RUBI WOO except that rubi woo is a true matte red color. This new lipstick is a retro matt, which means that it isn't as much drying on the lips as Rubi Woo. RIRI Woo is slightly bluer in tone and just a little deeper. I must say I am suprised of how drying the lipstick actually is. I applied one coat when it first came in the mail. After a few hours of wearing I put on my second coat to freash up the color. OMG my lips felt dry like ever in my life. BUT the color stayed on until I removed it with BIODERMA. The lipstick costs 19€ in Austria and for what you get it is a great price. I would recommend it to everybody who isn't afraid of wearing bright colors :) SWATCH ON MY LIPS:  xoxo YELENA

I thought I wasn't able to do that but I finally filmed a tutorial for my sisters channel :) I was looking at some bright clothing pieces and suddenly I realized that those colors would make a great look :) I thought of a pastel pink and a bright blue/green. Products used: - Jumbo eyeshadow pencil in milk - MAC handwritten e/s - 120 e/s palette by LENKA Kosmetik - pastel pink - 120 e/s palette by LENKA Kosmetik - black - Yves Rocher eye pencil in azur - 120 e/s palette by LENKA Kosmetik - metallic blue - Look By Bipa Eye Liner Pen - Chanel Le Volume de Chanel - YSL Rouge Volupte Nr. 15 First I took the Jumbo eyeshadow pencil and applied it on the moving lid and blended it out using my finger. Then I blended the MAC handwritten in my crease to give a little definition. The Jumbo e/s pencil was applied so the next shadow -pink- shows up even more. After that color was blended I took a black e/s and intensified the outer V and the crease a little bit more. For the bo

RiRI [hearts] MAC I've ordered the NEW MAC - RiRi Woo lipstick on friday. I was so excited when I saw that Instagram was full of pictures of people ordering it.  Rihanna also posted that it was sold in the USA after just 3hr! CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?! I knew I had to hurry up. And it was a just online deal. In Austria, I think, people didn't really knew about this sale start, so I was great for me since I had to wait just 5 min until the lipstick was in the basket Before you can order it, you have to pass an IP identification, since every person can get just 1 lipstick.  RIRI Woo is a take on the all time MAC classic RUBI WOO except that rubi woo is a matt.  This new lipstick is a retro matt, which means that it isn't as much drying on the lips as Rubi Woo.  RIRI Woo is slightly bluer in tone and just a little deeper. I must say I haven't got it in the mail yet, but I will update you with swatches of the product. :) From what I have read

Allthough winter is over -hurray- I'm sure there are a lot of us that are still suffering from dry lips and as we all know, lip scrubs can be expensive, even if they are from a low end brand. Therefore I want to show you how you can make your own - affordable and organic - lip scrubs. 1. Lip scrub - 1 tea spoon sugar - 1/2 tea spoon olive oil - 1 tea spoon honey Mix everything together well! Don't worry it won't desolve :)  After you're done, scrub it all over your lips. You can keep this in your fridge as long as you want. 2. Lip scrub - 1 teaspoon vaseline - 1 teaspoon sugar And thats all :) Mix it up really well and scrub it over your lips :) Because of the vaseline this will last a long time.  In my video for Youtube i've mixed a little bit of red food coloring in the 2. lip scrub and a tad of cocoonut extract in the 1. lip scrub for a tropical flavor :) Check this video out :)) xoxo Yelena

So I finally jumped on the band wagon and got it  the BIODERMA Sensibio H2O. I was extremely happy when I noticed that I can order stuff/medicine from a mass retailer pharmacy from my work :) Allthough I wasn't sure if they sell this product in Austria, I "test-ordered" it. And today it came in :) I've ordered the 500ml bottle, just to be safe in case of me liking it :D It would be sad if I would have to order it again, and suddenly its discountinued :( I've read many reviews on this product and I know that Lisa Eldridge loves it - but I want to see how I like this product. For the 500ml bottle I paid € 19,80. A little bit expensive for a bottle of "water" but hey I'm open to the world. Be sure to check my Facebook page but also My YouTube channel since I'm going to be doing reviews and update you how I like this product. xoxo Yelena
