Babyliss C260E easy waves

M'athchomaroon!
Hash yer dothrak chek?
Confused? I guess, I would I be, if I hadn't started to learn dothraki recently. It's a simple greeting and the question if your ride was well (more freely translated this would mean "How are you?")Well I didn't learn much more up to now. Some more greetings and a little bit of grammar, but it's really fun and I think the language is one of the most beautiful I've ever heard.

Well on to the original theme of this post. Today I already received my Babyliss C260E. I bought this one because I was looking for a good waver for about five months and then read Hiki's blopost about this specific one. You can check it out here! I went straight to amazon.de and got myself one too. It was 46,20€ including the free shipping. I think that's quite cheap for a product that's as great as this waver. I unpacked it and immediately had to test it.
The package includes the waver and several product descriptions and (and this is my favourite part) a piece of heatresistant fabric/fleece that can be used for lying the waver on it. So far I used one of those mats that is normally used for hot pans but this will be way easier to stuff away.

My hair is naturally very curly but since I straighten it quite often the curls don't always come out very well. Sometimes I use rollers or a curling iron to give them an extra boost but honestly I just can't stand it anymore. I loved the beachwaves trend that was around last fall and winter and I guess it's still somewhat actual. Now finally I can wear those lovely waves myself.
So before I'll show you the result there are some more things to mention. I washed my hair a few days ago and already put on a heat protector and a little bit of hairspray. My hair was still curly and a bit frizzy before I used the waver so I was even more axcited about the result. So here it is!


What do you think about waves/ curls/ straight hair? What do you like best? What would you like to try out yourself?

Love, M.

D live in Vienna & recent buys

Hi sweeties <3

Last thursday I went to vienna and spent a lovely evening at my boyfriends place. We watched the new episode of the second season of Game of Thrones! I absolutely love this series! My favourite characters are Tyrion Lannister, Jon Snow and Arya Stark. They all have one thing in common which really impressed me: no matter how hard their lives get, they just go on fighting. I just ordered the collector's edition of the first season and started to read "A Clash of Kings". Those books are so great! I could go on talking about them for hours but that's not todays theme.

On friday I got up quite early and got ready for meeting my friends before the D concert. We met at the Naschmarkt and then had some bubbletea at my favourite bubbletea store Qtea. As always I had almond milktea with strawberry bobba. After a little bit of shopping and meeting even more friends we went straight to the location of the concert. We spent most of our afternoon hanging around and talking. Around four we decided to go to a nearby bakery to have some cake and on our way to the shop we met ASAGI! He went outside to have a little photoshoot and was just about to return when we were on our way to the bakery! It was really exiting :D He looks so awesome "without" make up and wearing casual clothes. Well around 8 pm the Q&A session started and it was so much fun! One girl asked them to say "Nya~" and they actually did it! Asagi-kun's and Ruiza-kun's were the sexiest I've ever heard and Hiroki-kuns the funniest one.
Shortly after that the concert started and they were once again really awesome! Unfortunately there have been some problems with the sound but it was a great show anyways. I really enjoyed it and had lots of fun with the band and my friends. I'm already now looking forward to seeing them again!

On sunday I spent some time online looking for another dress for this summer. I didn't really like wearing casual dresses until a few months ago, but somehow I really got into it and now I'm kinda addicted :D
I bought a lovely, yet simple Ma*rs dress and a very cute Tralala denim skirt (with built-in shorts <3). Can't wait to try them on!
Last thing I bought this weekend is a tripple barrel waver! Finally <3 I read a post on Hiki's blog. She bought one this weekend and when I saw the results I was so excited that I thought it's finally time to get a waver too. I've been talking about buying one since christmas but somehow I just couldn't get my self into actually going to amazon and buying it. So now I ordered the Babyliss C260E for about 46€. I'm really excited to see how it will work with my hair.

I'll post some more pics of everything as soon as I've received it!

Love, M.

High speed creativity

Hi sweeties <3

Even though the last post was so long there's still something more to talk about! I spent the last weeks thinking about what to wear for the upcoming D concert on friday in Vienna. Last year I wore a handmade outfit in violett and red. I received a lot of compliments from other fans as well as from the bandmembers! Plus a pic of me and a friend of mine was posted on the Music Japan Plus website.
Until now I couldn't find out how they knew our "names" or any of the other facts, as they actually didn't really talk to us :DD Anyways this year I wanted to wear something at least as awesome as this outfit, but I wanted to do something related to one of my new favourite songs by them. Torikago Goten ~L’Oiseau bleu~ So it had to be royal blue.
I got the blouse already in february at Forever 21 and from that day on I thought about what I could wear with it. Yesterday when I tidied up my room the blue vampire requiem replica fabric that I bought for christmas caught my eye. So I just sat down and sewed a new skirt, a matching headbow and a little bag. I'm really happy with the outcome and looking forward to wearing it at the concert!

Please let me know how you like it!
I will write a post about the concert next week!

So have a great week & weekend!

Love, M.

Gal Meet up in Munich

Hi sweeties <3

Originally I wanted to post this already on sunday, but as I was going to vienna and forgot to take the SD-Card with the pics with me it had to wait until today.

Last time I already told you that we were going to Munich on saturday. Lovely Rin and Yaya organized a small Gal Meet up and as munich isn't that far away from my home town (~3 hours going by train) we decided to go there.
I had to get up around 6 to do my hair and make up. Well in the end I had to do my make in the train. We arrived at the Ostbahnhof around 12 o'clock and then went to the Mainstation. We were a little bit late and really anxious because we didn't really know anyone, after all it was my very first Meet up.

Everyone was so sweet and I was really happy to get to know everyone. We went shopping together and ate at an awesome restaurant in a mall. I had a superyummy Pizza with salmon and rucola. (I will have to add the picture later D: seems like I forgot to transfer it to my pc)
I only bought a new red nail polish by NYX, because my old one is almost empty and the red is soooo beautiful! It's the colorway Cherry Pie. I will show it to you some time soon as I plan to do a new nail design with it!

It was a real pitty that some of the girls had to leave so early and we didn't think of taking pics ealier, so there are only about half of us on the pictures. Here are the pictures that were taken with our cam!


Everyone looked so good! It was a really great day and I'm soooo happy that we decided to go there.

We left Munich around 7 p.m. and arrived back in salzburg around 9 p.m.. During the trainride we played UNO and talked about the day and back in salzburg we had a rather late dinner at McDonalds.
Before we left for home we took some more pics in a kind of parking lot. It was so funny and at some times we just had to laugh so hard that it was impossible to take any pic at all. So here are some more pics!


We got home around half past eleven and after taking some more pics went straight to bed. All in all it was a really awesome day!

So in the end I've got three more pics for you :D I hope you all had a great weekend too!

Here's my outfit (first pic without a jacket :D)

And this is the best shot of my make I found. I love hoy my hair looked that day! I guess I will wear it like this more often in the future!

Love, M.

Eylure&PinkyParadise

Hi Sweeties <3

A few weeks ago I went shopping with my younger sister in Vienna and I almost couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that Claire's was selling eylure lashes and lashadhesive. I don't usually shop at Claire's so I guess like everyone else already knew about it. Next surprise was the price! It was only 4,95€ which was the main reason why I bought it. Also this adhesive contains latex and is easily removable. A friend of mine told me that it is a bit smelly and indeed it is, but it's not noticable when applied.
So far I always used the glue that came with my lashes and I was really content with it. The inner edges of the lashes tended to come off some times, but well that happens. At least that was what I thought! My new lashadhesive works like a million times better than any I have ever tried before. It is super easy to remove from the lashes, so now I can even re-use my lower lashes, which usually broke when I tried to get the glue off.
Another big pro is the size of the bottle, which is by the way made of glass. It contains 6 ml which is like three times as much as the glues contained, that I had so far.

The only thing I sincerely dislike is the aplicator, but it's not that bad either.

Last thing I wanted to tell you today is that after only 6 days (saturday and sunday included) I received my package from PinkyParadise.com. I orded a new pair of lenses for myself and loads more for friends of mine. I chose the Vassen Little Mermaid in Sandy Brown. I'm thinking about writing a little review on them after a few weeks of wearing them, but I can already now tell you that they feel great when worn... well actually I didn't even feel them at all. Here's a little picture to show you what they look like and maybe in one of my next post you will get to see more of them ;D


And here's an overview of all the lenses I received today.


Tomorrow I'll be going to munich with two friends and my younger sister! I've been looking forward to this for weeks and I hope the weather will be a little bit better than today but anyways I wish you all a great weekend and I'll see you again next week!

Love, M.

Super quick and super delicious dessert

Hi sweeties <3

Today I want to share one of my all time favorite desserts with you! It's glaced apples with vanilla-mascarponecream.
It's a really quick and yummy dessert and it is perfect for all times of the year. In winter you can just add a bit of cinnamon to the apples and in summer you can just exchange the mascarponecream with vanilla icecream.

Now on to the recipe: For 4 persons you need: - 3 big slightly sour apples (I prefer Pink Lady) - 7 TS brown sugar - 5 TS honey - 1 cup Mascarpone - 1 cup whipped cream - 1 ts lemon juice - Vanilla or vanilla sugar

Cut the apple into pieces, you can decide whether you like splits or smaller pieces better. Add the lemon juice and about half of the sugar to the apples and let it rest for half an hour.
Meanwhile mix the mascarpone, the whipped cream and the vanilla and put in the refrigerator.
Take a pan that's big enough so you'll be able to spread the apples evenly in it. Put a little butter into the pan and add the honey and the rest of the sugar. Let it darken a bit and add the apples. Cook until the apples get softer and the caramel turns a nice ... well caramel brown. Arrange on a dish and put the mascarponecream next to it.
Today we also added some dried eddible flowers to it. They actually don't have that much of a special taste but they look awesome :D

So this should be what you get if you do everything right!


I hope you all will enjoy this recipe just as much as I do everytime we cook this at my place!

Love, M.

OOTN

Hi sweeties <3

I just came by to give you a quick update on what's going on in my life! I'm training a lot lately and I do spend a whole lot of my time with playing Carte. I really learned to love this game. This weekend I even played with a korean super high level player... and well I lost but it was sooo much fun! In the end I'm still a newbie :D
When I'm not training or playing Carte I cook for my family, study chinese characters, look through new Gal magazines and try out new MU styles.

Today a big part of my mothers family came together to have a belated easterbrunch at a greek restaurant, which is quite close to where I live. I love to eat there, but somehow I always feel incredibly bad after being there.... I guess I should just eat less :DD The food is incredibly delicious! Today I had duck with orange-honeysauce and a delicous gratined potatoes.

I love to kinda shock my relatives with my stylings, so today I thought it would be nice to wear something a little bit gal for the first time when meeting up with them.

So this was my outfit for tonight: My new maxidress, which I lately got at Forever 21 for about 23€, a lace bolero from Forever 18, the shoes are my sisters and I think she got them at Deichmann and lastly I wear my wonderful silky straight wig in auburn from Lockshop.

And here's a close up of my make up. First I forgot to put in the lenses and when I did put them in I somehow disliked how it looked all together. I think my eyes look too large with these lenses combined with this MU.
I think all over it looked good but I could have done better. What do you think?
Also should I post more Outfits? Productreviews? Anything else you would be interested in reading? Just let me know!

I hope you had a great easterweekend too.

Love, M.
