I love
when beauty junkies with blogs buy new things. Then you can see beautiful
photos of that little beauty tresures and imagine that one day you will
have them lined up like that as well. But the reality in my case is a
little bit different. This is how I put them together!
If
you are wondering, there isn't a particular order but they were all
bought or were given to me last year, hence the Birthday
edition of Lookfantastic Beauty Box from September.
The last
one that I ordered from them. This year I decided that I will only order
them if most of the products are something I am really interested in.
Sure, beautiful special edition boxes got me interested but the truth is
that thier content, for the most part, wasn't for me.
You
can find Balea products in probably every New in of mine. Their In
Shower Body Milk with Vanilla is a must for me (can you tell?) and this nipple cream was a recommendation from a friend to tackle really dry areas of the skin that can appear on our faces during winter months. It is good but I am not thrilled.
I bought and
used up some Byphasse products as well. They are OK, micellar water and
face gel cleanser were quite nice but I hated this Eye make up remover.
It wasn't efficient and has overpowering floral scent... Didn't like it
one bit!
I make sure that my
everyday products are always in stock, so here you can see a bottle of
my favourite kind of Batiste Dry Shampoo (Strength & Shine) and a
roll on (not my beloved Powder Touch, which is still my favourite).
I
tried some new products and they wowed me... I LOVE this Afrodita
Chamomile Sensitive Care eye cream. It is amazing and incredibly
affordable!
I always buy a few new
products when in drugstores as you can see. This L'Oreal True Match
foundation is incredible and I can't believe that I forgot to mention it
in my January Favourites?!
I
also wanted to get some Essence stuff, so I did. Don't you hate it when people mess
with products and don't buy them in the end? Well, I didn't realize that
in the store, but someone left their dirty fingerprints on my palette, so, I
will throw it away as soon as I swatch it. Can't imagine to put that on
my face!
If
you aren't in Croatia but will visit Croatia one day, you must try
something from Olival. It is a Croatian brand and I love their
immortelle line. Toner is amazing, micellar water as well, and now I
discovered their Immortelle Golden Face Oil. True love...
Do
you guys do catalogue shopping? I usally browse through Avon's
catalogues but my friend now sells Oriflame so I made some new purchases
there as well.
There was a big sale at Douglas last year and I got myself some new Chanel products. I like Chanel, especially for a good deal.
I also recieved Chanel Fauve eyeshadow as a gift. Isn't it beautiful? Like a powdery version of my beloved Illusoire?!
At the end of the year there were free shipping moments at Net-a-Porter and Outnet, so, I made some purchases there, too.
My
Significant other brought me some Body Shop goodies from his trip.
Chamomile cleansing oil was what I wanted and other products are his
choices. He did GOOD.
That is it for last year's
choices. I didn't really do much beauty shopping in 2016. and you can
see why?! I am very well equiped!
How do you like my new toys?
Tell me...
Love, beautyandbrains007

Thank you! <3 No problem ;)
DeleteWow! That's a great haul, girl. The Chanel eye shadow looks awesome. Has the Chanel foundation a more matte or dewy finish?

Yes,I think so, too ;) Chanel foundation is more on a dewy side but if you apply some powder on top it acts great even on my really oily t-zone. In any case, the glow it gives is very subtle. Having said that, a friend of mine who has dry but porcelain skin hates it! She says that it us greasy on her. And I, with oily t-zone, like it?!
