Top 5 under 5

Hello lovelies,
I guess this is a tag which goes around on YouTube and the blogosphere so I thought... why not?! :D I think some make-up related things like this are fun although I don't like all the tags.
For some girls it is really hard to choose their Top 5 under 5 €, because they mostly buy high end brands. But I'm a poor girl, so this could be something for me... but it's not that easy to find my Top 5, because I like so many things! q_q
So, here are my personal Top 5!


♥ ORLY lacquer vernis 'royal velvet'

I had luck with this polish! It's a mini version of an ORLY polish ('royal velvet') I got at a beauty exhibition. (: It's a gorgeous color and I will show you a simple nail design with it soon (: The only thing I don't like is the thin brush. I'm just in love with big nail polish brushes, because I have wide nail beds. A gorgeous color, you will see soon!

♥ Max Factor Khol Kajal '090 Natural Glaze'

The best eye pencil to brighten my eyes! (: I tend to have tired and red eyes, because I don't sleep well often, so I'm using this on my waterline. The eyes look brighter and bigger in an instant without looking too fake. It was a present, but I'll buy it again and again and again. :D


♥ Balea Aqua cloth face mask
My favorite face mask ever! I wrote a review not too long ago here, click here. (: I love cloth masks. Korean and japanese cosmetic brands often have these cloth masks but I'm happy that masks like these are also available in german drugstores. It's perfect for every skin who needs a little more moisturizing, also for acne prone skin because it's not oily, just pure moist! :D

♥ essence eyebrow stylist set

I like the colors in this set. They are not too reddish and not too ashy, perfect for setting my eyebrow pencil, I use this in my everyday make-up routine.

♥ Rexona maximum protection 'clear scent'

Best deodorant ever. My boyfriend uses this as well, but the one 'for men'. I use this before I go to bed and at night. I have a disease called hyperhidrosis and this helps me between my botox injections to reduce sweat. (: Ideal also for summer, but be careful - it can leave white stains!

Sooo~ these are my Top 5 under 5 €! Do you know some of these products? What are your favorites or do you rather buy high end cosmetics? (:

Where have I been? What will happen to the blog?

I mostly was at school. I started my training as a beautician student in September last year and it's not easy to go to school, have to work part-time, have a long distance relationship and try to blog. BUT I will try! I will definitely try.
Many things happened in my life and some of them were struggling. I'm also thinking about leaving Berlin. But these are only plans that I won't realize for now.
What happens to the blog? I don't have time for special make-up's anymore. I only wear simple and minimal make-up in the week and on the weekends I'm often too lazy, too tired or too busy to do special looks. Solution: This blog will be a little more personal. I really, really hope this will be ok for you! You are my readers and I want you to have fun on 4 Seasons! I will still write reviews, post swatches, show my shopping hauls and maybe post some outfits in between but I also think about writing down my thoughts, maybe tell you about my daily life, post some book reviews, show you my instagram photos and so on. (: I also want to write fashion reviews. Not only show you the things I got but also tell you how they are quality-wise. You know I'm a real saveaholic when it comes to shopping, so I mostly buy inexpensive clothes from ebay or Asian online shops. I will help you to select them. :D
What do you think about this?
I also made a new design with the help of a template and I really like it. ♥ It's really light and simple but this fits to my new concept. This blog won't be bilingual anymore! I really want to improve my English so in the future the posts won't have a German translation. I hope this is ok for you, as well.
If you have suggestions for topics on the blog - feel free to comment down!

I love 4 Seasons, I love to write posts and I love you, my readers. I won't give up.

♥ my hair transformation - curly hair extensions ♥

Two months ago I got extensions and finally the post is online, woohoo~
Normally I have almost shoulder-length afro hair that is chemically straightened. (but I didn't this procedure for almost 1 year now, yay!) I wanted long hair again. I tried different types of extensions before but I wanted a method that won't destroy my hair, without any heat, glue etc. I found a method and now I'm giving you a few tips. (;

♥♥♥

Vor zwei Monaten habe ich mir Extensions machen lassen und endlich ist der Post online, woohoo~
Normalerweise habe ich schulterlanges Afrohaar, das chemisch geglättet ist. (Aber die Prozedur habe ich schon fast ein Jahr lang nicht mehr gemacht, yay!) Ich wollte wieder mal lange Haare. Ich habe schon verschiedene Arten von Haarverlängerungen ausgetestet, aber ich wollte eine Methode, die mein Haar nicht zerstört, ohne jegliche Hitze, Kleber usw. Ich habe eine Methode gefunden und jetzt gebe ich euch ein paar Tipps. (;

♥ This or That? ♥

I found this cute tag on another beauty blog (but I forgot which one, argh q_q) and I wanted to do this! Normally I don't like any awards or tags but this one is so suitable for the blog~ :D
'This or That?' rather shows what I would like on me more, not what I currently have (e.g. I like long nails but I have short nails myself).
Let's go! :D

♥♥♥

Ich habe diesen süßen Tag auf einem anderen Beauty-Blog gefunden (aber ich habe vergessen, welcher das war, argh q_q) und ich wollte ihn machen! :D Normalerweise mag ich keinerlei Awards oder Tags, aber dieser hier ist so passend für den Blog~ :D
'This or That?' zeigt eher, was ich an mir eher mögen würde, nicht was ich im Moment habe (z.B. mag ich lange Nägel, aber ich habe selber kurze Nägel).

♥ still a kid ♥

Thanks to all the people who thought of me, I appreciate it!

♥ turning 21 (: ♥

I'm turning 21 today! (: 

This is kind of a special age, right? I'm of full-age worldwide now~ but besides that nothing changes for me... I still feel like 16 years old, hihi~ The weather today should be good and I meet with a friend of mine to get some ice cream or something like that. Unfortunately my boyfriend has to work but the actual birthday party (cake, coffee, tea, barbeque - perfect!) will be at Saturday, so it's okay (;
However my mommy still bakes a cake for today :D
I hope you also have a great day! ♥

♥♥♥

Ich werde heute 21! (: Schon ein spezielles Alter, oder? Ich bin jetzt weltweit volljährig~ aber ansonsten ändert sich für mich nichts... ich fühle mich immer noch wie 16, hihi~ Das Wetter heute sollte gut werden und ich werde mich mit einer Freundin treffen und wir gehen ein Eis essen oder so. Mein Freund muss leider arbeiten, aber die eigentliche Geburtstagsparty (Kuchen, Kaffee, Tee, grillen -perfekt!) wird am Samstag sein, von daher ist es okay (;
Meine Mama backt mir trotzdem schon einen Kuchen für heute :D
Ich hoffe, ihr habt auch einen ganz tollen Tag! ♥

wishlist ♥ nail polish, perfume, smartphone etc. ♥

EDIT: Okay, because some people can't read properly: It's not my birthday today! My birthday is in 3 weeks! And please don't wish me an advanced happy birthday - this brings bad luck! ((; <3 (it's a saying here in Germany.)

It's my birthday soon! On 16th July I'm turning 21, so I thought 'why not posting a wishlist?' I love to read wishlists from other girls :D To be honest I don't want anyone to buy me any of these items. I only asked my mother to get me the perfume by Halle Berry for my birthday (: The other items I rather buy by myself because I don't like it to get something that expensive as a present. I would feel guilty although I would be super happy! Do you know what I mean~? :<
Okay, on to the things I want to buy in the next few months :D

♥♥♥

Bald ist mein Geburtstag! Am 16. Juli werde ich 21, deshalb dachte ich mir 'warum nicht eine Wunschliste posten'? Ich liebe es, Wunschlisten von anderen Mädchen zu lesen :D Um ehrlich zu sein möchte ich nicht, dass mir irgendjemand diese Dinge kauft. Ich habe nur meine Mama gefragt, ob sie mir das Parfüm von Halle Berry zum Geburtstag kauft. (: Die anderen Sachen kaufe ich mir lieber selber, weil ich es nicht so gerne mag, wenn ich etwas als Geschenk bekomme, das so teuer ist. Ich würde mich dann schuldig fühlen, obwohl ich super glücklich sein würde! Wisst ihr, was ich meine~? :<
Okay, zu den Dingen, die ich in den nächsten paar Monaten kaufen möchte :D

new in my life ♥ make-up stylist + I am published ♥

Maybe some of you know that I want to turn my passion to profession and aspire to be a cosmetician and after that maybe do an advanced training to be a make-up artist.
I work with Mary Kay and there is a make-up artist who is doing workshops and assessments for other MK women. I had the opportunity to visit these workshops and after that I got to do an exam. This is how the make-up stylist (make-up stylist is a shorter and cheaper training than make-up artist, I did it as a bridgeover, because my beautician training only starts in October!) test was arranged:

♥ 1. I had to find at least 15 different girls and women to do their make-up. They all should be different in type, nationality, face shape, age etc.. I had to do before and after pictures on my work. For this I had time from December until May (but I only startet in April, because I wanted to collect more info from the workshop, hehe :D). I put all of these photos in one portfolio. We also should write down what products we used.
♥ 2. At the exam day (16th of May) we had to answer a short test with questions to different eye shapes, face shapes, colors and so on.
♥ 3. I also had to bring one model with me, no matter if I did her make up before or not. All of the participants changed their models among eachother so that we had to do the make-up on a girl we never saw before. (: (I liked it!) We had to do a beauty make up that fits the type of the girl and choose the right foundation, powder and any other colors.

While we did the make up on the model, the make-up artist took a good look at out portfolio to rate it. She also checked our answers on the test.
I passed the assessment as a make-up stylist! :D This is my certificate including the workshops that we took:

Sorry for the short break, no post for a few days, was a little busy with work and other things.

Tut mir Leid für die kurze Pause, kein Post die letzten Tage, war ein bisschen beschäftigt mit Arbeit und anderen Dingen.
