I LOVE SPRING Tag

Hello dolls. Today I decided to do I <3 SPRING TAG. It is so fun to do and I hope you enjoy reading my answers. If you feel like doing this tag, please do it and send me a link in the comments. Let's begin.


FAVOURITE SPRING NAIL POLISH?
It is so hard to pick just one, since I collect nailpolish, hahaa. I love the pastels during spring and I think I would have to say that it is from Mavala in the shade 75 Miami. It is pretty pastel pink, very opeaque with purple sheen. Amazing colour.

WHAT IS YOUR MUST-HAVE LIP COLOUR THIS SPRING?
It is Maybelline colorSensational popstick in 030 hot pink. I already wrote a review of it, right here (http://makeupbysparkle.blogspot.com/2013/04/maybelline-popsticks-review-swatches.html). I want to try the colorSensational Vivids. They are so pretty. Do you have it??

SHOW US YOUR FAVOURITE SPRING DRESS!
My H&M butterfly dress. It is super girly and cute. I wear this dress all the time  :)

WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE FLOWER?
It is a white lily. I also love tulips, and sunflowers. I love love love fresh flowers. They make me happy and I love the fresh smell of it.

FAVOURITE SPRING SCARF/ACCESSORY? 
Again butterflys. I don't know what is wrong with me, but I just love them in the spring.

WHAT SPRING TREND(S) ARE YOU MOST EXCITED ABOUT THIS YEAR? (MAKEUP, FASHION OR BOTH!)
I am most excited about the flower prints. And bright lips of course. I am super casual and normally I wear dresses or shorts and cute tank. That's it, very simple.

FAVOURITE SPRING CANDLE?
Yankee Candle, Beach Walk. It has the smell of salt water and sea musk, with a little bit of orange blossom. I really like the beach smell :))

FAVOURITE BODY SPRAY/PERFUME FOR SPRING?
In spring and summer I enyoj wearing light perfumes or just perfumed water. The one that I like the most is from Frais Monde scented with Plum and Bamboo. I really like the Dolce&Gabbana Light Blue perfume. I had a sample size last year so maybe this year I will purchase the big bottle.

WHAT IS SPRING LIKE WHERE YOU LIVE?
It is rainy and around 20-25̊C. It is getting warmer, but you can't wear shorts or skirts. We have sunny days too, but like every third day rain comes in town.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE THING ABOUT SPRING?
I really like that the days are getting warmer and and we can wear bright, bold colours. Days are getting longer. Plus the people are super nice and in a good mood in the spring.

ARE YOU A SPRING CLEANER?
Yes I am. I am a cleaner all year long. I love the fresh smell in the house. My favourite part is that I can change my wardrobe, get rid some of the old stuff and make a room for new clothes.


ANY PLANS FOR SPRING BREAK OR AN UPCOMING VACATION?
No, not any plans in the near future. I am planning a trip to Africa, Egypt in September, yay. Can't wait.
If you have any good ideas for my vacation please tell my in the comments. I would love to hear your suggestions.

MAYBELLINE POPSTICKS REVIEW + SWATCHES

Hello beauties. Today we are going to have fun, because we are going to be talking about Maybelline ColorSensational popsticks. They come in four amazing shades, and I picked 030 pink lollipop (13 $ or10€). The cool part is that they are transperent and the packeging has a mirror on the top, so you can see where to put it. The smell is amazing, very fruity. The shade that I picked, 030, is hot pink with purple shimmer. They are super super moisturizing, but you have to know, that they do not have the pigmentation of a normal lipstick. They look like a lipbalm. It claims that after you apply this on your lips, it should look like you just had a popstick. I really like this product, and it will be my summer essential for sure. I never feel like wearing heavy lipstick in the summer. I have to try the coral one, since orange lips are so in. The look that they give you is very natural, but better then your lips.

Do you already have maybelline popsticks?

DIY GEL MANICURE



Hello everyone. In todays post I will show you how you can do gel nails at home. It is super easy and pretty cheap. So everything you need I bought in my local drugstore Dm for 50 €. In this Kit you will find everything you need to give yourself a gel manicure except the colour shade, which you choose separately. The kit is called Depend GelLack, Ready to go! You can do this on your toenails too, since the results will last longer than on your hands. 

Use cleanser with cotton wool ball to clean your nails. Allow the nails to dry completely for about 30 seconds. Do not touch the nail surface after it has been cleaned.

Apply a thin layer of base polish. Harden for 30 seconds under the LED lamp.

 Apply a thin coat of gel polish- coloured one. Harden for 30 seconds under the LED lamp.

Apply another thin layer of gel polish and harden for 30 seconds under the LED lamp.

Apply a thin layer of top polish and harden again under the LED lamp for 30 seconds.
  
Now the nail surface will be sligtly sticky. Apply the cleanser on a cotton wool ball and cleanse the top finish and bring out the gourgeous sheen of the gel polish.

  You have now hard-wearing, high-gloss, polish that will last about three weeks.

Do you want me to show the Kit in details? All the products, the lamp, polishes??

Thank you so much for reading

GOT2BE OL-LA-LA ARGAN OIL SERUM REVIEW

Hello beauties. Today I am going to share my taughts about a new Schwarzkopf product. It is an oil serum with argan oil. I bought it in my local drugstore Müller for 4.95 €. You get 50 ml, which is not bad at all. You apply the serum on wet or dry hair, it is also appropriate for evrery day use. And a little bit goes a long way. It does not make my hair greasy and I used it every day for the past week. My split ends improved a lot, plus my hair is super soft and shiny. I have to say this is my favourite Schwarzkopf produst till now. If you are looking for a hair serum, oil, leave in conditioner, I really recomend it. Plus the smell, omg, it smells AMAZING!!  



Which is your favourite hair serum? 
Tell me in the comments, I would really like to know. 
Hope you are doing well, thank you for reading
