February was a month of many new discoveries but also of repurchases of old favorites. I did go a little overboard (again) this time with lippies, but I love them all so no regrets here.Without further ado, let's just dive in!

February was a month of many new discoveries but also of repurchases of old favorites. I did go a little overboard (again) this time with lippies, but I love them all so no regrets here.Without further ado, let's just dive in!
Body care:
- Nivea In-Shower Body Milk Smooth Sensation Shea Butter (DM, ~ 4 Euro) - I had the other two versions, I love the almond oil one so I had to try the new shea butter also! It smells very good, very similar with the other ones but a little bit sweeter.
- Rexona Linen Dry 48H Active Deodorant (DM, ~ 2 Euro) - Since I've started going regularly to the gym, I need a stronger deodorant and Rexona is always a favorite of mine, it doesn't keep me from sweating but at least I smell nice!
- Garnier Ultra Doux Aloe Vera and Vegetable Milk Softening Conditioner for all hair types (DM, ~ 3 Euro) - I bought this on a whim, thinking I should try something alse for my hair than good old Wella, but I'm not impressed at all.
- Alverde Intensiv Handcreme Granatapfel Karitebutter (DM, ~ 1.5 Euro) - I needed new hand cream as my Cera di Cupra is almost done, but while it smells great, I don't like at all the texture of this one, is sooo oily and sticky!
- Freeman Facial Polishing Mask Charcoal & Black Sugar Dual Action Purifying mask and smoothing exfoliant (DM, ~ 4 Euro) - When I saw this at DM, I was so excited, I search for a good face exfoliant for so long and this one looks like it's going to work great!
- Vichy Normaderm Deep Cleansing Purifying Gel (Sensiblu, ~ 11 Euro) - This a rebuy, my all time favorite cleanser, I use it twice a day, every day!
- Garnier Essentials Refreshing Cleansing Milk for normal to combined skin with detoxing grape extract (Auchan, ~3.5 Euro) - I had this a while ago and I liked it so I repurchased it again. The formula is changed, but it's good nontheless.
- Vivanatura Face Mask with rose and activ clay (DM, ~ 1.5 Euro) - I am inlove with mask, it cleans my pores so good. I don't know why I haven't tried Vivanatura face masks before, this so useful.
- Gerocossen Body Line Depil Strips for face with chamomile (DM, ~ 2 Euro) - I feel Gerocossen makes some good depil face strips, really handy so I've got the chamomile version...
- Cora Nail Polish Remover (Cora, ~ 1.5 Euro)
- Kiko Nail Lacquer #265 China Blue (gift) - Gift from Germany, my first Kiko product. Royal blue metallic.
- Catrice Nail Polish #39 Black to the roots (gift) - Gift from Germany, my first Catrice product. Matte black nail polish.
- Byphase Makeup Remover Wipes for sensitive skin with almond oil (Real, ~2.5 Euro) - I had those before, very moist, good for wiping my brushes and some emergency makeup removing.
- Balea Repair+Pflege Express Kur (DM, ~ 1 Euro) - I love these hair treatments from Balea, this is oil based and should have a repairing and moisturing effect.
- Septona Makeup Remover Wipes with chamomile for sensitive skin (Real, ~ .075 Euro) - Good for wiping my brushes, not much to say here.
- Cora Maxi Oval Pads for gentle makeup removing (Cora, ~ 0.75 Euro) - I am so impressed with these one, so big and fluffy and 2 are enough for removing all my makeup. Will rebuy again!
- Smashbox Click You're It Holiday Eye Palette (StrawberryNET.com, ~ 11 Euro (sale)) - My first StrawberryNET.com order was this Smashbox palette. !5 Eyeshadow both matte and shimmers and 5 creamy liner/shadow bases. It comes without the primer. I was very impressed by the quality, very good pigmentation, color pay off, just a little fall out and loads of looks to get out of this palette. And the creams ar not dry at all, I was impressed with their intensity.
- Catrice Liquid Metal Eyeshadow #060 Petrol Pan (gift) - I've got this metallic turquoise shadow from a friend from Germany.
- Stila Sheer Color SPF 15 Tinted Moisturiser #01 Bare (StrawberryNET.com, ~ 9 Euro) - My first Stila product, was on sale and I am a tinted moisturisers freek so I had to have it. It looks very light but once it blends in it gives just a natural radiance and moisture. I loce using it mixed in with foundation or BB Cream.
- Flormar Matte Terracotta Eye Shadow #M102 (Flormar, ~ 7 Euro) - I bought this as an eyeshadow, but I used it more as a blush. It's not entirely matte, it's got a fine shimmer sheen which gives such a nice radiant look.
- L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes Waterproof Mascara (DM, ~ 8 Euro) - Believe it or not, this is the first mascara from L'Oreal I've ever tried so I thought to give it a shot.
- Rimmel London Scandaleyes Eyeshadow Paint # 014 Manganise Purple (DM, ~ 6 Euro) - I normally don't like these types of liquidy lipgloss like eyeshadow bases, but I've watched Tati rave about them so I've bought Manganse Purple.
- Rimmel London Wake Me Up Anti Fatigue Effect and Radiant Glow Concealer #Classic Beige (DM, ~5.5 Euro) - I had the Wake Me Up foundation for a while so I thought to give the concelear a try as I was in need of an undereye one.
Lips:
- Avon Ultra Color Absolute Lipsticks #Warm Honey, Creamy Melon and Tea Rose (Avon, ~ 3.5 Euro) - I haven't got Avon lippies in a while so I was curious about the quality of these one. I'm not dissapointed at all, they are all so creamy, a little sheer in color but buildable. Looking forward to trying out new shades!
- Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids Lipstick # Electric Orange (DM, ~ 4.5 Euro) - I've just wanted an orange lipstick for spring and got this one on sale. Very bright, very resistant and creamy, just a little streaky.
- Rimmel London Kate Moss Matte Lipstick #107 (DM, ~ 4.5 Euro) - This is my first dark lipstick and I quite like it. It's a deep red, wine shade and it's wearable.
- Maybelline Color Whisper Lipstick #Lust for blush (DM, ~ 4.5 Euro) - I wanted to try out this collection and I've got Lust for blush, a nice rose, baby pink shade which look very natural on the lips.
- Maybelline Color Sensational Shine Gloss #Cashmere Rose (DM, ~ 4.5 Euro) - Very wearable pink-coral shade, not too shimmery or matte, just a great topper for many lispticks I own.
- Max Factor Colour Elixir Giant Pen Stick #Passionate Red (DM, ~ 4 Euro) - I love lip pens, I want to try more lip color so I bought this vibrant red shade with nice golden warm undertone. Perfect for a more daring look!
- Rimmel London Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses Stay on lip contouring pencil #049 Natural (DM, ~ 3 Euro) - I'm not into lip pencils at all, but this one is plain nude and it will work great with my nude lipstick and it will help softening brighter colors.
