Hamburg

I went to Hamburg last summer for a weekend trip. There was a big exhibition that time, hotels were fully booked so I spent one night  @ Krupunder Hotel outside Hamburg.

The next day I changed to CPH.

This hotel is just 10 minutes walk to Hauptbahnhof.

I really enjoyed my stay here.

I walk around. I was curious to know the history. This is the city hall. It's very beautiful inside.

Hamburg is a very affluent city.

After sightseeing, I went to this place.

This is a street in Hamburg's St. Pauli called "Reeperbahn". It is the city's red-light district.

 Then I went to Heiligengeistfeld.

 I enjoyed the rides and went back to the hotel.

The following day, I took the "Hafenrundfahrt".

Two hours was not enough for me to see all. 

For me Hamburg is one of the most beautiful city I've seen.

I'll be back again.

Thank you for reading.

Praline & Vodka

These are gifts from our russian visitors I've got last week.

I'm very thankful. 

I like praline and vodka very much.

Inside are 21 bite-sized pieces of chocolate candies wrapped in lilagold foil with crushed peanuts and hazelnut on the top of the dome. 

It reminds me of Hershey's kisses. But of course this is very special one.

Beluga gold line is one of the most luxurious vodka in the world.

 The malt spirit is produced in Russia and fermented with natural enzymes, not with the synthetic additives. 

All ingredients are 100% natural.

The cork is sealed with wax and a hammer is supplied to remove the wax.

The bottle includes a beluga fish metallic label.

And here's Beluga Silver. It is prestigious vodka.

The whole process is done in an environmentally clean and safe area in Siberia.

Artisan Siberian water is used and the fermentation process takes place only by the natural enzymes.

The vodka is poured into a bottle of French optical glass.

Thanks Igor, Vladimir and Olga!

Na zdorovje!

Manic Monday

It's been quite awhile that I don't make nail art.

So yesterday night, I did something different to my nails.

This is not easy to do.

 Painting my left hand was the hardest part.

It took more than one hour for me to finish both hands.

 

I used Rimmel black polish, Rival de Loop in sparkling princess, and dotting tool to draw the Z-line.

  This is a one-coat polish. Rimmel has a wider Xpress brush for easy application.

It dries in less than 60 seconds.

Oh, my bumpy! I hope it's not plus because today morning I was craving for something sweet. 

That's all for today.

Faces

I'm surprised.

I'm happy.

I'm cute.

Hmmm, I think about it.

I'm pretty.

I'm naughty.

I am sad.

I'm angry.

I'm in love.

 Note: I do respect food and I love eating veggies. These are the rejected part of the vegetables that I cannot use anymore for cooking.

Esprit Styling Lipgloss

A glossy review. Let's find out if it's worth to buy or not. I'm gonna review it now for you lovelies.

Esprit claims that  the gloss lasts 6 hours of high-gloss and full-looking lips,

              smooth, and light in texture. It's a high shine moisturizing lipgloss.

It is hypoallergenic and dermatologist certified.
It has 10 color shades to choose from.

 Click here!

What I am thinking about it?

Color: 4/5

This is my first gloss from Esprit cosmetic line.

I've chosen  202 Seductive Rose which is pinkish.

It has very tiny  particles that shimmer when you're facing the light. 

All you  need is to apply more to see the pink color. I like this gloss for candylook.

Smell & Taste: 5/5

It has a mild scent and a little candy taste.

Consistency: 5/5

The gloss isn't sticky, super smooth on the lips.I agree that it lasts 6 hours, but doesn't give a fuller effect, 75% yes.

  One thing I like is the brush applicator wand.
Brush applicator is better than spongy one for hygienic reason.

It's shorter and easier to handle.

The texture is lighter. It doesn't leave a heavy feeling even you put more.

It hydrates the lips as well, no flaking.

Price: 5/5

It's very affordable. It costs 8 Euro only.

My verdict:
I will buy for more but in other color probably in 200 Scenic Rose or 302 Glitter Gold.

Would I recommend this gloss?

Definitely yes!

Has anyone tried this lipgloss before?
How is it?

I't's 11:00 p.m. here. Til my next post..

Have a nice weekend!
