NYX Review

Hello everyone :)
I hope your week starts really good like mine :D and if not don´t be sad :) listen to the birds in the morning they will sing all of your bad mood away ^^ trust me :) sometimes we forget in a loud present time like this the simples beautiful things on earth like listen to the nature for example a drop from the rain.


I promised more than a year ago a review about my NYX products
ok I start with the lipsticks :)

Lipsstick
The lipsticks are difficult to wear in my opinion, especially the peach bellini, you can´t have dry lips in any kind of way, it will make it visible and go in any wrinkle you have on your lips :(
but if you spread it with your finger it will change and be smooth. Don´t press the lips together! Otherwise you see every wrinkle on your lips, it will work only after dap with your fingers (but only very soft). I have to force myself to not press my lips together (we always do the things we shouldn´t do like touch the face, which is bad for the cleanness of the skin) The consistency is like face cream in a stick form.
The smell of the lipsticks have a citrus note, at first very awkward but you will get used to it. (It´s remembers me of a citrus dish liquid XDDD) I wouldn´t buy it again. To much dirty work, my fingers look very messy afterwards. Last for 2 hours.

applied peach bellini

you can see all the stripes it left behind

pressed the lips together

 very flaky :(

II used my finger with all the following lipsticks

Peach Bellini

too much sparkles, beautiful bright orange colour, flaky, very difficult to wear, after work with the finger it gets lucent, hard to handle and after pressing the lips together it looks horrible.

Indian Pink

orange nude pink colour, gets lucent after spread it with the finger

Circe

Nude (beige) colour, my lipstick broke! too smooth and creamy

Femme

the one and only lipstick which you can wear without using your fingers. orange red colour

I wouldn´t recomment the lipsticks :( far to hard to get a good result or to make it wearable, I have to take a mirror with me.

Lip gloss
I love this lip gloss :) it smells like the lipstick. The texture is very comfortable and you can combine it with every lipstick of your choice.The glitter particles are very small, they don´t overload the lips like other lip gloss I had. It has a load of white sparkles, looks really fresh and fruity on the lips, it doesn´t stick, very comfortable :)

peach

lucent peachy colour, sparkly, dries after 3 hours

Eyeshadow
I love the colours, they are smooth like butter, and they have a very high pigmentation, I don´t need a eyeprimer or a base to pop up the colours. I will definetely buy more ^^

Flamingo

rose colour with an hint of gold, colourful sparkles, very smooth, sometimes I only wear this eyeshadow on my eye - it´s enough and very beautiful, specifically on spring and summer <3

Marocco

lilac dark blue, love to wear it as an eyeliner :), very flaky and hard to put on my eyes without flakes on my cheeks.

Eyebrow Cake Powder
I really really recommend it!!! I own myself the Taupe/ Ash colour and it´s gorgeous for asians! I put make up on my friends and family and it matched really great with dark to brown hair <3 I don´t want to miss it again, I´m really happy with it and I´ll buy it defenitly again for me and my beloved family and friends, they all love it :)
You can work really great with an ankle brush for eyebrows. There are two brushes in it, a hard ankle brush and a brow and lash brush to soften out any edges (I don´t use them though, because the brushes are too hard for me). The wax is really great for long brows, it sticks the eyebrow on it´s place all day long :)
My all time favourite! Wear it in all my photos :)


Lipliner
I chose the nude pink lip liner, it dries the lip a little bit, but I like to wear it as a lip base, love to cover my outer dark lip. I couldn´t find  this beautiful colour anywhere, I´m going to buy more of this lipliners (of the same and other colours).
You can watch it on the picture below


Blush
I love my cinammon blush (and it convinced me to buy more of NYX blushes), it´s high pigmented but it isn´t blurry on my cheeks, you can blend it out really good. For a wonderful finish I would recommented to work with a fluffy brush, not a densed one. You have to find out your own technique to apply it on your cheeks.

I´m very happy with my products, except my peach pellini round lipstick (I can handle the other ones), hope you enjoyed my review :)

Lovely greetings

Spicy hot ramen

Hello lovely readers :)

Today I´ll doing a recipe post of my favourite korean ramen :)
I do almost every 3rd day ramen, not the instant noodles but self-made keke :D I like it hot and spicy. If you read my older posts you´ll know that I like korean food :)
Homemade food is always cheaper and better than instant food :) but not everyone has time for it, I can understand it, but if you have, do it! It´s definitely worth it! I love the korean hot chillies, they are moderately hot, not like the thai or indian chillies haha - you´ll die or at least I always nearly die, when the soup has this colour O_O XD

The ingredients for 2 persons:

-- 300g/ 0,6 pounds noodles oriental style noodle (pasta)

-- 600 ml/ 2 1/2 cups broth I used chicken (should be hot!)

-- 1 tbsp vegetable oil (not olive oil)

-- pork meat - as much as you like, I used 50g -thinnly sliced  (you can use whatever meat you like, for the vegetarian -skip it)

meat marinade:

pinch of salt, pinch of pepper, 1 Tbsp oyster sauce

-- 1 clove of a garlic - chopped 

-- 5cm/ 2 inch of the white leek part or 1/2 of a small onion -sliced

-- 1 1/2 handfull of vegetables you can use whatever your hearts desire :) I would say 3 big chunks of the top of the broccoli, 2 big chunks of cauliflower, 1 small carrot, I used freezed vegetables

hot sauce:

-- 2 tbsp gochujang (korean chilli paste)

-- 1 tblsp sesame oil 

-- 1 tsp mirin (rice vinegar)

-- pinch salt

-- pinch pepper

-- 1 tsp sugar

-- 2 tbsp chilli flakes (without seeds, with seeds I would only use 1 tsp hot!hot!)

-- 1 tbsp roasted sesame seeds (I prefer the white ones) (ohhh no I forgot them :( ) 

Stir all the ingredients together

and at least for decoration and season to taste :

-- 2 tbsp green leeks 

-- 1/2 tomatoes per bowls (didn´t had any on hand)

-- a squeeze of a lemon juice

-- If you want 1 boiled egg (I forgot it, noo not again! I always forget the best of the soup!)

First cook the noodles for 6-8 min for me the best time (in the package they write 10 min in my opinion too long) after cooking rinse them under cold water, prepare them on your bowl

I recomment to don´t use a teflon pan, because we work on high heat, over time it would dent your bottom pan!  

Turn the stove on high heat put the oil in it (now we have to work really quick, we don´t want to burn our garlic). When your cooking spoon fizzles in the oil -> it´s time! Let your garlic fry for few sec., stir! stir! stir! Put your meat in it until it´s more than half cooked, now turn the heat down on medium heat throw the onions in, until they get glazed. Put the vegetables in for 5min -don´t forget to stir! :)

- without meat: stove on high heat, put oil in the pan until your cooking spoon fizzles, throw your vegetables in (because we want it in the foreground, if we would use garlic or onions first they would burn - the juice of the meat would prevents the garlic or onions from burning) until they get a little bit brown, stir! Turn on medium heat and add the onion and garlic to the vegetables, cook until the vegetables are cooked through, I would say 5 min.

Add the hot sauce, stir it for few minutes, you´ll know when, the flavours will develope an awesome aroma, it smells gorgeous! Put your hot broth (I really recommend the hot broth, because it's faster and the soup stays clear) in it, after it's boiling it's ready to serve! 

 Now the best part :) fill your bowl with the soup

Squeeze a little bit lemon juice, put tomatoes on the top and green leek for decoration. You can put half of a boiled egg on top  :) voilá a super delicious self-made ramen! In 15 min

Happy! Happy!

 Yuuuumiiii, it´s time to eat!

You´re going to be addicted :D like me^^, for the non-hot eater I would skip the dry chilli pepper. The hot chilli paste isn´t hot like really hot :D believe me it´s even less hot like the famous korean Nongshim instant noodles. While writing the blogpost it looks mouthwatering haha I should lay a bowl on my desk XD. Hope you enjoyed my blogpost :)
Please tell me your self-made ramen experiences and write a comment below if you tried it  ;D
I wish you good luck :) ..and enjoy your meal!

Korean Dinner

Hello everybody :)

hope you're all doing well :D 

Yesterday I ate "official" korean food^^ for the first time and how did I miss it all the time? I´m a big fan, I did often korean food in the past, for example self-made ramen, pancakes, rice cake..etc. but I could never  compare it with the original. I was really nervous to try it, I was afraid that it wouldn´t satisfy my expectations, but it was even better than I thought. I´m obsessed with korean food, it´s so delicious and a flavour explotion :D but really expensive :( 

I´ve never seen so many korean people in one place. They must love their own food :)

The owner of this restaurant is a really petite lady, and a japanese waitress who can fluently speak korean wasn´t sure of my origin they guessed I was a korean or a japanese girl. The owner explained that the korean people were more impulsive and the japanese people are more reserved, but I was both, more in the middle hihi they didn't expect a laotian woman. For me a very big compliment because I admire all the korean and of course japanese women :) they are so beautiful :) kekeke
I hope it didn't sound like I´m not proud to be a laotian girl or woman (ouuhh I´m so old) I´m very proud :D hehe

Now here my OOTD

I´ll make a make up tutorial for this look soon :)

On our table

Wonderful jewellry box

Isn´t it beautiful? I would buy it immediantly if they would sell it :) <3

Sightseeing Salzburg

 Hello everybody :)

Again long time ago no write. I have to put more passion and patience on it. I took some pictures for blogging but I was too lazy to immediately sit down and write afterwards :( but now I´m in a good mood and have the motivation. Let´s see for how long ;D

I really love this city :) it´s full of inspiration and happiness. At first a little bit of history^^

Mozart was born and raised here in the 2^nd half of the 18^th century. You can also find the famous ‘Sachertorte’ in this city, a famous Viennese chocolate cake (the original cake invented in 1832 is only available in the ‘Sacher Hotel’ in Vienna and Salzburg as well as in the duty free shop in the national airport in Vienna and two cafés in other Austrian cities).

In the spring and summer months from Mai to September it's tourism season :)

See the pictures I made below and get an impression of the city and its atmosphere at this time of the year:

 A look to the historic city center

 The Sacher Hotel

 A statue in the Mirabell garden

 A look at some of the mountains surrounding the city

 ...more nature and mountains

Hohensalzburg Castle and Salzburg Cathedral

 Mozartstatue in the Mozartsquare

 Lawn at the side of the 'Salzach' river

 The 'Residenzplatz', a square at the side of the cathedral, surrounded by several historic buildings

 Carriages at the 'Residenzplatz'

 Salzburg has churches at pretty much every corner

 Some of the houses which were built directly into the rock 

There is more to see, this is a tiny bit of Salzburgs historic city center. Maybe we see each other here ^^ 
I wish you all a great day!

Lovely greetings from the lovely city Salzburg
