Hello, girls!
What better way to kick off things this new year than a nice round of new products in stash? Here are some the latest buys of 2013 and also some of the gifts I've received for Christmas. I know, I've promised I'll do a Christmas gifts post, but I've just got back from vacation and I've still didn't had the time (or mood) to take the photos. So hopefully you won't mind reading about what Santa brought me later this week. I mean who wrotes about Christmas gifts these days anyway? :))
Now, without further rambling, here are the buys of December and some of the Christmas gifts.
Skincare & haircare:
- Balea Dusch Peeling Buttermilk & Lemon and Balea Creme-Ol Dusch Peeling mit himmlischem Apfel & Zimtduft - I've already talked about them in this post, they are very nice shower creams with exfoliating particles thus beeing also body scrubs. Bought from DM, price around 1.5 Euro.
- Wella Professionals Calm Sensitive Shampoo - My scalp became really itchy lately so I decided to change my go to shampoo, also from Wella, Brillance for fine, coloured hair. It really has a calming effect and my hair stays clean up to 4-5 days now. Bought from Abatte, my hair salon, price around 8 Euro.
- Wella Professionals Oil Reflections - My hairdresser used it once after shed dyed my hair and I loved the way my hair was smooth and shiny so I bought it for weekly use also. I use it on damp hair as a treatment but also on dry hair for shiny locks. Bought from Abatte, price around 12 Euro.
- Nivea Double Effect Eye Make-up Remover - I couldn't find my beloved Farmec Argan Oil make-up remover for waterproof make-up so this has to do. It does stings my eyes a bit, but I should get used to it after a couple of days. Bought from Auchan, price around 3.5 Euro.
- Care Make-up Remover Pads - Just my regular maxi pads for removing make-up. Bought from a local grocery store.
- Ebelin 40 Maxi - Pads - Just about the same thing, other brand. Bought from DM, around 1 Euro.
Make-up:
- Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzing Powder with real cocoa - It doesn't need any presentation, I'm sure you are all aware of the hype around these Too Faced bronzers. I've wanted it for a long time and I was lucky enough to receive it for Christmas. It smell deliciously (chocolate anyone?).
- Elmiplant Skin Moisture CC Cream All in 1 skin perfection #Light - I'm kind of a BB Creams junkie so I has to try Elmiplant's CC Cream. Bought from DM, around 3.5 Euro.
- Maybelline Colorama Vintage Leather #212 - I've bought only one nail polish in December, can you believe that? Bought from Douglas, around 2.5 Euro.
- Maybelline Eye Studio Master Precise Ink Pen Eyeliner #Black - It's so hard to find a good pen eyeliner with good pigmentation. This one is soo black and easy to apply. Received as a gift.
- White & Black noname blending brushes - Bought from Ebay, around 1 Euro each.
- Herbosophy Shea Butter and vitamin E lip balm - It has no smell or taste but it's great for my chapped lips. Bought from a local drugstore, around 2 Euro.
- Sephora Cream Eyeshadow and Liner #Purple night - I never saw this at Sephora before, but actually it was on sale along with matte black and grey. Price around 5 Euro.
- Inglot Duraline - WOW, just WOW! I mean I've had before an eyeliner sealer that transformed any eyeshadow in a cream/gel eyeliner, but this one is really amazing. One drop is enough to transform an eyeshadow (pressed/powder/pigment) in a special waterproof eyeliner. And it won't screw up your eyeshadow either. I mean I have a lot of nice eyeshadows that I hardly use because of the pigmentation but Duraline bring the best out of them in the form of an eyeliner. I'm an eyeliner junkie so for me this is heaven :D. Received as a gift.
- Inglot AMC Matte Eyeliner Gel #74 - This is seriously the most beautiful eyeliner color I have. It's not violet or burgundy, it's kind of the color of red wine mixed with prune. Does this make sense? Bought from Inglot, price around 12 Euro.
- Inglot Freedom System Eyeshadow #Pearl 406 (not sure) - I've received this as a gift, it's a gorgeous shimmery golden brown-olive!
So this is it, I've been good in December, don't you think?
