Jewelry HAUL

What was the number one thing on my 'not to buy' list? - Jewelry! Well.... uuups?

Let's just say that I could have bought a lot more than this! Why is there so much pretty jewelry out there right now?! It just makes it harder to resist....

In the beginning of July I went to my brother's prom and had - like always - nothing to wear. I borrowed a dress from a friend and all I needed was a necklace to match it! I found this one at Rossmann on sale for just 5Euro! I bought it a month ago but I have still seen it in stores last week since it is not on sale everywhere yet. - 5 Euro

I was  actually on the hunt for another necklace from H&M but I could not find it anywhere. I saw it once in store but since I had banned myself from buying anymore jewelry I did not get it. When I could not get this necklace out of my head I finally decided to buy it - it was nowhere to be found. Not even online! So when I went to H&M last week yet again (to check for the other necklace) and I saw this beautiful piece! I love the slight lavender undertone of the off white stones, it is not too big not too small - it is just perfect! - 9,99Euro

I love shopping the sales! The only reason for me to go to C&A is their jewelry sales - I always find something I like. This time it were these pretty light mint dangling earrings. I own a lot of earrings, but I hardly wear them anymore. Hopefully this pair will change that habit of mine. - 1 Euro

I don't think I have ever posted a jewelry haul, have I?
What style jewelry are you into right now? I am clearly favoring big chunky jewels in lighter colors.

Products I've used up - June & July 2014

Why do these posts always make me feel so productive? ;) It feels like using up a product is a real achievement - which sometimes it is because you have to constantly remind yourself not to start using all those shiny new products before you use up the old ones.

NIVEA shampoo hydro care
I used to love this shampoo but now I am not so sure about it. Maybe I "over used" it - you know how shampoos lose their effect on your hair after some time but when you start using them again after you left it out for some time they work again? I hope that is the case...

Dove pampering Body Lotion Deep Care Complexes
I wish this product would smell nicer because the lack of scent is the only thing keeping me from buying it again. I love the effect it has on my skin and how fast it soaks up into my skin but I know products that do the same and smell better.

NIVEA water lily & oil Shower Gel
Again I would like this to smell nicer (and stronger) - other than that I loved it. It feels a lot thicker than other shower gels (maybe a little like the Yves Rocher shower creme) and I like the little pearls in the gel.

Balea Shaving Gel Summer Garden Mango
I am so excited that my favorite shaving gel has finally come out with new scents! I loved the Mango version but I think I like the blueberry one even more <3

Alverde Body Lotion City Whispers
Nope. Sorry, but I did not like that one. I love the alverde Body Butters and thought I might love their body lotions as well - which I sadly do not. It takes forever to sink into your skin and does not have that big of an effect on your skin. I have dry skin and this simply wasn't enough. I am happy I have finally used it up.

Rival de Loop Clean & Care Eye Make Up Remover Oil Free
This is an all time favorite of mine and I think it's been in every Products I've used up post I have ever done.

I love using stuff up. What I like even more is finally throwing it all into the trash after doing these posts! Let's make room for new products!

What have you used up this summer so far?

Summer Beauty Haul

I went shopping way too much yet again! - But I did not actually buy a lot of beauty stuff this summer which I am almost proud of ;)

alverde body butter in Vanilla & Mandarin 
I am hoping it is the same product that I showed you here - please! Let's hope they only switched up the packaging!

The Body Shop Tea Tree Squeaky-Clean Scrub
I am in love <3 I have had this product for a while now and I think I will do a Skin Care Routine soon. I loved the The Body Shop Body Scrub and wanted the same amazing experience for my face. I read reviews online suggesting this product for dry but blemished skin - which is exactly what I have - and when I saw it was only 8 Euros (you can buy a lot more expensive The Body Shop products) I had to try it.

Weleda Skin Food
This is a repurchase - my skin would be a mess without this product. SInce I am about to run out of this I had to make sure I had a backup.

Pantene Pro-V Conditioner for dry hair
Again this is a repurchase. I had a giant bottle of this before (that literally lasted for over a year) and I am still loving it. Somehow my hair just does not like to be straight and this product is the only way I know that gets it to be straight (well almost). I love this stuff.

L'oréal Paris Nude Magique Eau De Teint 120 Ivoire / Pure Ivory
This foundation sounded so amazing and when I swatched it it seemed to be a perfect match - but it is not. It is the lightest shade they sell but it is still too dark for me. :(

Manhattan Glowing Goddess Shimmer Powder Pink Paradise
This is the newest addition to my make up collection. I have been eyeing this product for the last few weeks and had to remind myself constantly that I had set a goal of not buying any more blushes because I already own a ridiculous amount. Then they started selling out everywhere and after wanting it for this long I finally caved in and got it! I have not used it yet but I will just after finishing this blogpost when I get ready for the rest of the day ;)

alverde baked Duo-Bronzer 10 Light Bronze
It already broke! I just tilted it to the side a little - and the whole product fell out! I had to collect the broken pieces from the ground before ven using it once :( Other than that I really like it (besides the smell - why do alverde products have to smell like that?!).

KIKO Fancy Top Coat nail lacquer 657
KIKO nail lacquer386
I don't have a KIKO near where I live so when I visited my parents in July I had to stop by their store! I have been looking for a crazy shimmer & glitter top coat from the drugstore for a while now but never found one I really liked. KIKO is not a drugstore brand - but the prices are drugstore level. I was also looking for the perfect light, creamy blue for my nails and thought I had finally found it - just to come home to find that I own the exact same color from Revlon. Well, fail.

KIKO Skinny Fit Kajal 05
Is that not the prettiest packaging you have ever seen? I do not want to throw it away :( I have only used the pencil once and I like it so far. I just wish it had the the same print as the packaging...

Catrice Limited Edition Le Grand Bleu - Matt Lip Cream C01 Never Leave Coral Reef
This was kind of a stupid purchase. Don't get me wrong - I like the product - I simply own way to many red lip products. Well, good thing it was on sale :P

That is all I got! - Puh, that was a long post. I hope you enjoyed and you are having a fantastic summer! Tell me what products I should check out in the drugstore the next time I go shopping there :P
