Iam a German 40s/50s/60s Pin up Girl, Retro Addict and Weirdo. I love make up, to craft, do photoshootings and collect vintage clothes/ lingerie. In my blog you can read all about it, mashed up with my thoughts about fashion/styling.
here is my little test make up using the Professional Smokey Eyes Kit in Gorgeous Night Blue by Manhattan New York Royalz Limited Edition. As predicted the colours rock, exept for the barely there white one, but that´s ok :-)
And we ate Waffles at Hanni´s 60er Jahre Café in Neuss. Yummy!!!
is it obvious that Iam sick and have to stay in bed today? :-) Besides the new Alverde Eye Shadows I snapped the Professional Smokey Eyes Kit in Gorgeous Night Blue by Manhattan New York Royalz Limited Edition and swatched it. Still no Make up pics - those will follow in the coming days.
ist es offensichtlich das ich krank bin und jetzt im Bett bleiben muss? :-) Ausser den neues Alverde Ldschatten habe ich mir heute auch das Professional Smokey Eyes Kit in Gorgeous Night Blue aus der Manhattan New York Royalz Limited Edition gekrallt und geswatched, Noch keine Make up Bilder, die kommen in den nächsten Tagen...

The white one doesn´t thrill me, but maybe it will look more visible with an eye base, the other colours look fantastic. The matte turqouise really pops, the dark blue is a little greyish with a little shine and the grey... well, is a shiny grey :-) Can´t wait to try!
Der weisse haut mich nicht vom Hocker, aber vielleicht sieht er mit einer Eye Base nach mehr aus, das matte Türkis knallt richtig rein, das Blau geht ein bisschen ins graue und schimmert ein wenig und das Grau ist... Grau und schimmert schön :-) Kann es kaum erwarten die Farben zu testen!
It seems Germany put itself into a little Oktoberfest Fever.... Now I´ve never been there and probably will never go and I don´t even like beer, but I got me some lovely knicknacks...
Es scheint als wäre Deutschland im Oktoberfest Fieber... Ich war noch nie da,werde wohl niemals hingehen und Bier schmeckt mir auch nicht, aber ein paar Kleinigkeiten habe ich gekauft...
A Bijou Brigitte bracelet with little vintage-ish figurines and two blushes from the Manhattan Cosmetics Oktoberfest Limited Edition. One is named "Wiesn Fever", the other one "Dirndl Love".

Here´s "Wiesn Fever in Action":
I like it. No shimmer, no glitter, just purel baked blush that I can either dose for daily use or just add a little more to make it shooting-appropriate.
Ich mag es. Kein Schimmer, kein Glitzer, nur pure gebackene Farbe die ich entwederfür den täglichen Gebrauch nutzen kann oder einfach mehr nehmen kann um es Shooting tauglich zu machen.
Trivia: Most German women, including myself have never worn a Dirndl.
Off course an Oktoberfest post wouldn´tbe complete with some Original Traditional Jodelling (Techno):
Here are some photos that I took with my mobile on my way to work! When I woke up this morning there was even more, BUT it melted before I even got outside....
Today I was experimenting with some new make up again.
Mahattan Party Glam Eyeshadow in wildberry and the P2 Mascara City Tec.
My review: The deal with the mascara is that it rotates automatically which is a great idea,but it also has the risk of making your lashes clumpy and stick together. You can see that a bit on my pictures. The only way to prevent it is to stop between the layers and let it dry. Time intensive, but the results are better.
I really like Manhattan Eyeshadow because it goes on very smooth and I really like the colour. it is sort of violetish browns. Very shimmery and glamorous. I think it makes a great eyeshadow for X-Mas, New Year or any other fancy occassion. It looks prettier in real life than on my photos.
