Products I've Used Up // September


This month I am trying something new. Usually I do one of these posts every month but this time I collected all of my used up products for two months and put all all of them together into one longer post. It turned out to be a really long post so I am not sure whether I will do this again.


Yankee Candle Tart Spiced Orange: This is a wonderful scent for autumn and winter. The name says it all: it makes your whole room smell like spicy orange. If you want to try Yankee Candle but you cannot afford their big candles try their tarts! You do not have a whole tart at once. I just break of a corner of the tart to melt and that is definitely enough for me.


Garnier 2-in-1 Eye-Make-Up Remover waterproof: This is a product I use up and repurchase all the time. It has been part of my everyday routine for forever and I am almost through my next bottle of this.


tetsept A Portion of Love Champagne-berry & Currant Bath Salt: As soon as the temperatures started to drop over the last week I got excited about baths again. First of all I love the packaging and the scent combination is lovely. When you pour this into your bath water the scent is sadly not very strong - but the color is give to the water is wonderful. It turns your bath water deep purple and with the white and silver swirls it makes the bath water look like a magic potion. It keeps my skin from drying out but it does not moisturize it either. To me this is fine but not amazing.


Isana Shower Gel & alverde Shower Gel: Out of these two shower gels I liked the alverde one better. The Isana shower gel had a stronger scent (that I really liked) but I did not like the consistency as much. The alverde shower gel is thicker and I think it moisturizes my skin better. Over all I still liked both of them and I would repurchase either one.


alverde Shower Sorbet Rhubarb & Orange: This was a really nice shower gel. It moisturizes well and the scent is lovely. It usually takes a while for me to repurchase a shower gel because I like to try new scents and there are sadly not a lot of different scents available.


Balea Shaving Gel Pink Grapefruit: I can only recommend Balea shower gels. They are inexpensive, smell wonderful, work well with my sensitive skin and the packaging is gorgeous.


Nivea Repair & Care Conditioner: I wrote a whole separate review about this conditioner you can check out here: click.


Guhl Conditioner: loved this conditioner. It makes my hair really soft, smooth and easy to brush through. I already repurchased this and I think I will try out a lot more Guhl ahir producsts in teh future. I have used Guhl products before but for some reason I just forgot about the brand and now I am so excited about it again.


Garnier Fructies  Oil Repair 3 Hair Mask: Best hair mask ever. It has an amazing effect on my hair. It does everything I want a hair mask to do and I have repurchased this numerous times and it was part of my favorite products of 2015.


wellaflex Hair Spray Volume: Considering how long it took me (and my boyfriend) to use up hairspray before I was quite surprised at how quickly we used up this bottle - even though it is only a travel size. I liked it and repurchased the exact same one already.


alverde Creme-Oil-Lotion Jasmine & Sesame: I am not a big fan of body lotion but for a lack of  body butter selection in the drugstores I decided to try this one. It is moisturizing and it does its job but after I used this up the first thing I used was a body butter - and I remembered why I am team body butter again. This body lotion does not moisturize as well and it does not sink in as quickly as I want it to. If you are a fan of body lotions you might like this but I myself will not repurchase this.


Gillette Venus Spa Breeze Blades: I have repurchased these blades for years now. They work well, last a long time and the scent is amazing. What I do not like is the prize. I have tried cheaper blades before but they never work with my sensitive skin and they go blunt really quickly. So spending less money on something that simply does not work isn't worth it in the end. That is why I keep repurchasing these but the prize makes me hesitate every time.

What products did you use up this month?

Drugstore HAUL // November


I am on a strict ban from buying make up and so far I have been sticking to it. I have not bought make up in over a month by now. I soon need a new concealer and new mascara but that does not count. This is what I buy at the drugstore when I do not buy make up.


Gillette Venus Spa Breeze Razor: I already own this razor and I really do like it. Sadly it is quite expensive and so are the blades. My razor is a few years old and while it still works fine it is pretty disgusting by now and I was in desperate need of a new one. 


Balea Shower Gel & Oil Pearls: I struggle to find a shower gel that I really like. I do not have high expectations for shower gel but somehow I still cannot find one I actually enjoy using. Hopefully I will like using this one as much as I like the scent and packaging.


alverde Shower Gel with Pomegranate & Ginger: My quest to find a good moisturizing shower gel that also smells good is still going on. Maybe I have found it now? I have never tried alverde shower gel before but since I usually like alverde products I do have rather high expectations.



Balea Teint Perfection: This is supposed to make pores and fine lines disappear for a 'perfect teint'. I heard a lot of positive things about this on YouTube. We will see how it works.


Garnier Eye Make Up Remover 2 in 1: I did not set out to repurchase this but it is the best and cheapest eye make up remover for waterproof mascara that I know of. It is not perfect but it is good. If you know of any other eye make up removers for waterproof mascara, please let me know!


ISANA Nail Polish Remover: This is my favorite nail polish remover and I repurchase this all the time. I guess there is nothing more to say about this :P

What have you been shopping for this month?

Drugstore HAUL



Actually I went out shopping a lot but I did not buy a lot and I am very happy about that. Sorry I did not stick to my posting schedule lately but I am back on track now ;)




These are ridiculously expensive. Sadly they are also the best I have ever tried. They last really long time without getting blunt. They also smell really good but I guess that does not really matter when it comes it razor blades.




My all time favorite mascara. I buy it all the time. What is there more to say?




The first swatch was applied with an eyeshadow base underneath, the other one without one. I do like the color but it does not show up as well as I would want it to. In addition to that I feel like it fades away rather easily. It does not crease or anything but somehow the color just vanishes. I am not sure I would recommend it.





I do not know what to say besides 'I love this scent'. The man version reminds me a lot of Puma's I am going which was discontinued a few years ago. They both smell a lot more grown-up then the packaging would suggest but I still adore the flacons.

What is your favorite perfume? What did you shop for lately?

Colors of the Rainbow TAG - Beauty Edition

Mein zweiter TAG!  Aus irgndeinem Grund, ist dies erst mein zweiter - obwohl ich TAGs liebe! Dieser TAG von TalkBeckyTalk gefällt mir zur Zeit besonders gut, also habe ich beschlossen meine Version davon abzutippen! Ich erwähne in diesem TAG nur Beauty-Produkte, auch wenn der TAG eigentlich Beauty und Fashion behinhaltet. Vielleicht mache ich ja noch eine Fashion Edition? Lasst mir eure Kommentare dazu da :)

ROT

Ich liebe dieses Blush! Die Farbe und Farbabgabe ist perfekt und hey - twilight :P Rote Blushs sind sowieso seit einiger Zeit immer öfter bei mir im Gebrauch, doch alle meine roten Blushs sind limitiert und nicht mehr erhältlich :/

ORANGE
 p2 Intensive Nail Hardener

Mein absoluter Favorit was Unterlacke betrifft. Den "better than gel nails basecoat" von essence, doch dieser hier hält bei mir viel länger und peelt sich nicht von den Nägeln, wie der andere es bei mir oft gemacht hat. Meine Flasche ist wirklich schon alt und sieht nicht mehr so vorzeigbar aus - aber im echten Leben ist der Lack viel oranger! Ich konnte es nur auf dem Bild nicht so gut einfangen (auf den Nägeln ist er natürlich durchsichtig).

GELB


 Die beste Lippenpflege, die mir je untergekommen ist. Ich habe wirklich sehr trockene spröde Lippen und außer Carmex hilft da wirklich nichts.

GRÜN


Isana Nagellackentferner
Mein liebster Nagellackentferner. Ich habe auch schon andere benutzt, kaufe diesen jedoch immer wieder bei Rossmann nach. Er macht eben das, was ein Nagellackentferner so machen sollte - und das ziemlich gut^^

BLAU
Mint ist ja auch eine Art blau, auch wenn Nagellack ja irgendwie bei diesem TAG nicht zählt, es wäre ja auch viel zu einfach ihn so zu beantworten - aber dies war nunmal das erste blaue Produkt, das mir in den Sinn kam.
VIOLETT
 NIVEA double effect Deo
 Das Deo kennt ihr schon aus meinen früheren Favoriten, also will ich mich hier nicht darüber auslassen. Ich benutze es jetzt schon seit.... hm 2 Jahren? Ich brauche ewig um Deo aufzubrauchen :P
MULTICOLOR



Ein Haarprodukt bei dem man die Wirkung nicht abstreiten kann. Ich habe Naturlocken (oder Wellen), weswegen meine Haare ohne Schmusekatze wirklich anders aussehen würden, als sie es jetzt tun. Das Produkt ist nicht wirklich multicolor, aber immerhin zweifarbig.
Pink


Pink kommt in diesem TAG ja eigentlich nicht vor, aber so gut wie jeder dessen TAG ich gesehen habe, hat Pink noch als Kategorie hinzugefügt. Mein eigentlicher Favorit ist der Venus Spa Breeze Rasierer, aber der liegt gerade noch bei mir in der Dusche. Die Rasierklingen mit dem eingebauten Rasiergel (das vielleicht eine Woche zum rasieren reicht) sind super scharf und bleiben es auch. Die Rasierklingen sind zwar wirklich teuer, da ich sie jedoch wirklich lange benutze, kann ich den Preis für mich rechtfertigen. Den Duft liebe ich auch, aber das ist natürlich eine sehr individuelle Sache.
Das war meine Version des Colors of the Rainbow TAGs - schreibt mir doch in die Kommentare eure Produktauswahl?
TAG - YOU'RE IT!

 Was Cremeprodukte betrifft (naja, wirklich cremeig sind sie nicht) bin ich eher ein Neuling. Ich habe Cremeliedschatten, aber das war's dann auch schon^^ Ich muss erst noch herausfinden, wie ich die Produkte genau anwende. Als ich vom Shoppen zurück gekommen bin habe ich auf YouTube einen neuen Channel entdeckt - er ist nicht neu, bloß für mich - und war sehr froh jetzt Creme-Blush zu besitzen ;)

Habt ihr etwas aus der Neo Geisha LE mitgenommen?
