BIG Drugstore HAUL

This a collective haul from the last few weeks. I bought a lot of products I have never used before so I am really excited to try them all out. 

 

Maybelline FIT me! concealer 15

This is the best concealer I have ever tried. It is also the lightest. Right now it is still a little two dark for me but when I blend it out it can still work. Since I cannot find a lighter shade of concealer anywhere I will just have to make it work. Other than color I like the coverage and the way you can blend.

Maybelline FIT me! powder 105 natural ivory

I own the Maybelline FIT me! concealer and foundation and know that right now they are too dark for my skin tone but I needed a new powder. My old one was translucent and I did not really like that. Back then I bought it because no powder was light enough but it does not give me the effect I want. Hopefully this new powder will. I only heard good things about the Maybelline FIT me! product range.I think they sell an even lighter version of this in the US but I cannot get my hands on that here in Europe. Other then that I love the packaging! I do not know whether I will actually use the sponge but I like the idea (and the mirror!).

essence I<3 NUDE eyeshadow 03 crème brûlée

I could have bought a lot more products from the new spring releases by essence but I held back! After reading all the good reviews and swatching it in store I  could not pass this up. I have not tried it yet but I imagine it looking amazing as a single shadow on the lid with a little highlight in the inner corner and simple eyeliner. I do not like 'normal' essence eyeshadows but the baked ones work great.

alverde moisturizing face mask wild rose shea butter for dry skin

I own other products from the alverde wild rose line and I do not like them all. I love the face oil but the moisturizer is not enough for my dry skin. Alverde products never make me break out or anything like that so when looking for a new face mask I automatically turned to this one.

Nivea long repair  shampoo

My hair is long and it needs to be repaired - so this is just perfect. I like Nivea shampoos in general and hopefully will be happy with this, too.

Nivea three in one cleansing fluid

This is supposed to cleans your skin, rove make-up and moisturize. We will see if it does all that...

Balea shaving gel blueberry love, Rival de Loop oil free eye-make-up remover, Isana nail polish remover

These are all evergreen products I repurchase all the time. It is the only eye-make-up remover that does not irritate my eyes. The nail polish remover works fine for me and I love the packaging and scent of the shaving gel. What is there more to say?


Do you guy know any really light face powders from the drugstore? Please let me know!

Septmeber Drugstore HAUL - Swatches

Somehow this turned into a pretty pink haul ;)
I have been to the drugstore a few times this September and wanted to share some of things I got with you today. I love reading about or watching other people's hauls and I hope you will enjoy mine as well:

essence studio nails better than gel nails top sealer high gloss

This is the third or fourth time I bought this top coat and I will do it again. It makes a significant difference in how long my nail polish lasts and I love the shine it brings to my nails. It truly gives a 'high gloss' finish. 

labello Lip Butter Blueberry Blush

I have wanted to buy this for sooooo long! I own a lot of lip balms so I had resisted buying another one for a long time  - but ultimately I caved in. I love the texture, it is like nothing I have ever tried before. It does not help as much with chapped lips like Carmex does but it still does help and sometimes the consistency just feels lighter on the lips.

toothbrush travel case

I know this is not the most interesting purchase of the day but it is something I should have bought a long time ago. I simply never thought of buying it when I was at the store.

Catrice Glamour Doll volume mascara

This is a repurchase. I really like the natural but still volumizng effect it gives to my lashes. In addition to that it is a rather cheap drugstore product!

Catrice Limited Edition Metallure lip colour C03 Alluring Red

I have been eyeing this collection for a while now - the packaging is simply amazing! I love red lip colours but I already own a lot of them. This colour in particular looks a lot lighter on the lips than I expected it to be but I still enjoy the colour. 

L'oréal Paris Elivital Nutri-Gloss Crystal Shampoo

I have never tried a L'oréal hair product before and I have heard great their more professional lines. I am so very excited to try it since I do not think I have ever used a shampoo with glitter in it before! The packaging looks amazing, does it not?

I am sorry this has turned out to be such a long post but I hope you have enjoyed the many pictures I included. 

Have you ever tried any of these products?

Thanky for reading!

Drugstore & Decor SALE HAUL - Rossmann & Xenos

This is a different haul for me be because I actually managed to only buy what I had intended to purchase :)
Rossmann had a 30% on all mascaras sale going on which was perfect because mascara is what I went there for. I had heard lost of good things about the Catrice Glamour Doll Mascara and I have never tried a mascara with a wand like this. I am almost out of my essence eyebrow gel  and because it is labeled as lash and brow mascara it was on sale as well.

I have been looking for something to store my tea in for what fees like forever! My best friend has this exact box from Xenos in pink, so I had to go there and get one for myself. It was only 1.99 Euro :) It does not fit all of my tea but it has enough space for my favorites. 

What is that last thing called? I have no idea. You can put a tea candle inside and then put (in my case) a tart by Yankee candle on top so it melts. I like the simplicity of it and it was only 1.49Euro.

I hope you enjoyed this little haul. I used to do collective hauls more often but I personally like little hauls like this as well.

Spring Drugstore Lip Product Favorites

With spring coming up there is one thing I am getting really excited about and that is brighter lips! I am saving the bright pinks for summer but light blush tones, nudes and reds are exactly what I like to wear this time of the year. Where I live it is still cold outside and it probably still will be for quite some time - therefore I am trying to incorporate things that remind me of spring into what I wear while still keeping warm. Lips is what I feel like the easiest way to do so!

essence 53 All About Cupcake (top left)
essence 52 In the Nude (top right)
These two lipsticks are a part of the old lipstick range of essence. They are rather sheer (which is why 52 In the Nude looks so scary in the tube (?)) but therefore easy to apply and I still really like them. The finish is more glossy which makes the color look fresh and more natural.

essence 52 In the Nude, essence 53 All About Cupcake,

essence 13 Love Me (middle left)
essence 07 Natural Beauty (middle right)
essence 04 On the Catwalk! (bottom left)
These lipsticks have a silky finish that is not glossy like the other ones. They are all part of the long lasting lip stick line by essence (and may I say the packaging is so much better then the old ones!). They are more opaque but not as moisturising. I love all three colors but out of these 13 Love Me must be my favorite.

essence 04 On the Catwalk!, essence 07 Natural Beauty, essence 13 Love Me

essence Stay with me long lasting lipgloss 02 My favorite Milkshake
Maybelline Super Stay 10h Tint Gloss 370 Infinite Mauve
Up until now I did not notice that all the products but the Maybelline Super Stay Tint Gloss are by essence. That was not on purpose! Haha. The essence gloss does not "stay with you" that long but it is far more opaque than the other glosses by essence that I have tried. I like to where this with I make up because it sort of tones down the natural red of your lips while still managing to make them look natural and of course nice and glossy. The Maybelline Tint Gloss was a Christmas Gift that I have loved ever since I got it. The only problem I have with it is that you have to have "perfect" lip before (so no chapping or anything like that) because otherwise it will make those "imperfections" stand out even more. It smells like cherries and I just love the color. There is something about it that is very flattering against my rather pale skin. I love it <3

Is it already getting warmer where you live? What are your favorite Spring products (I am thinking about doing a spring nail polish or jewelry post)?

BIG forgotten Drugstore HAUL

I do not know why but I totally forgot to do this post! I took these pictures in the beginning of January and just rediscovered them! Haha... well, you can still get pretty much all the products so I guess I am still going to post this.

p2 Intensive Nail Hardener
This is a backup for a polish I use every time I do my nails. I love this as a base coat!

essence Get Big Lashes Volume Boost mascara
Review is coming soon!

essence long lasting lipstick 04 On the Catwalk! (top right)
It looks a lot more "red" than I thought it would. To me the color looked really special in the tube (?) but on the lips it does not look the same. Nevertheless I still like the color it was simply not what I expected.
essence lipstick dark romance limited edition 01 Red Romance (bottom right)
I adore this lipstick! I have been wearing it nonstop since I got it! It does look a lot darker on the lips than it does in the swatch. It is the perfect dark lip to me.
Catrice Rocking Royals Velvet Matt Lip Color C02 Of Royal Blood (left)
This I love as well. The color is amazing (and somewhat really unique) and I love the mat finish.

Balea Oil Repair Hair Oil
My hair is very dry and I have been having  problems with frizz lately. I got this to hopefully help with that.

Balea Cream-Oil-Body-Scrub Apple & Cinnamon
The smell is what made me buy it. I did not need a new body scrub but I could not resist the scent!

Alverde Body Lotion City Whisper
I find it hard to find body lotions / butters in the drugstore that I actually like the scent of since a lot of them smell like vanilla or coconut which I just do not like. I love the citrus smell of this one and I discovered alverde's body butters this winter and really enjoyed using them.

Rexona shower fresh deodorant
I have not tried a lot of different deodorants and this one was on sale. I bought it because I heard a lot of good things about Rexona so I wanted to try it myself.

Balea Aqua eye cream
Just like my hair my skin is dry as well. I have used another version of this eye cream before and now I am running out of it.

Balea Aqua cloth mask
This is a repurchase. You look a little like you were planning a bank robbery when you put this on - but it is worth it. I like the effect it gives.

Rival de Loop Clean & Care eye make up remover
I buy this all the time - so I am not going to bore your with that ;)

This is a lot of hauls in one week but this is a collective haul of all the things I bought in December.

See you soon,

Drugstore HAUL

Weleda Skin Food
My skin is super dry right now and I don't know what to do about it. I have generally dry skin but in the last two weeks none of my moisturizing  products seem to be enough anymore. FleurdeForce talked about Skin Food in one of her last videos as a product she likes using an an airplane when her skin gets super dry so that is what I got. At first I was hesitant because of the price but you get 75ml in one tube which is more than you get with most other face creams.

Balea Eye Cream
I had this eye cream before and I really liked it. I am currently using another one by Balea but even my eye area (even more than the rest of my skin) is really dry so I am switching back this version. I looked for another alternative for a long time but there just are no eye creams for dry skin in the drugstore (only a lot of anti aging products -.- ).

essence Long Lasting Lip Stick 13 Love Me
This is my first product from the new essence spring range. I love the long lasting lip stick line (I already own two other shades). It is super affordable and I really like the quality and color range. I almost bought the shade 01 as well but I think I will save that one for a souvenir from Berlin.

These are both the same lipstick. The upper swatch has just one coat, for the other one I layered on more color.

Are you interested in any of these products? Or have you tried them already? Do you have any suggestions on how to handle my suddenly really dry skin?
