New in: October

Hello darlings! I've been a really good beauty junkie for the last... almost nine months and didn't really buy much (if any) makeup or other beauty products (I guess that was because I was busy buying baby stuff) but now, after such a long time, all hell broke loose and I've been on a shopping spree for the last few weeks. :) I actually didn't buy anything I didn't need or at least didn't really, really want, so it's not THAT bad. Anyhew... let's see what I hauled in, shall we?

As you've probably already seen on the blog, I've been really impressed with L'Occitane lately and got a bunch of stuff from them. The two products from their new Aromachologie line were sent to me, but everything else was bought by me. I was in need of a new toner and face cream, so I went with the light cream from the Shea butter line and also the toner. I might get the cleansing milk also and maybe the heavier cream, when I test it out (I got a bunch of testers to try).

I also got almost all products from their new Melting honey line (I'm only missing the scrub which I might also get, who knows). :) I've tried almost all of them so expect a review soon. The scent is divine by the way... ;)

Luna TBWA/Vichy sent me the new Normaderm BB Corrective cream and Ličila.si sent some goodies from the new Freedom makeup line (a primer, bronzer/highlighter duo and blush). 

I wanted to try a new foundation and went with the new one from Bourjois - Air Mat. Unfortunately I already gave it to a friend because the shade was totally off. I tried it in the store but when I actually applied it on my face it looked completely different, almost a peach shade (even though the shade name is Rose Ivory). Bourjois just doesn't have the right shades of foundation for my skin tone - they're either too yellow or almost peachy. Better luck next time I guess...

I also got some nail goodies - Essie's Help me grow base coat and Seche Vite Dry fast top coat along with Seche Restore, so I'll be able to use it longer and it won't get too gloopy. :) 

And since I'm curently in my 'nude lips' faze I got two Sleek lip prodcuts from Moja Drogerija - Sleek Matte Me lip cream in Birthday suit and Pout Paint in Minx, both are gorgeous!

And last but not least... I went to visit my old friend, BeautyBay and placed an order. I got my favorite face mask from Antipodes, Aura Manuka Honey (love this stuff!). I got a set of mascara and liquid liner from Purminerals and some goodies from Illamasqua that were on my wishlist for a really long time - nail polish in Melange and lipsticks in Rosepout and Minx. :)

So there you have it... let me know your thoughts and what you'd like me to review first. :D

New in: September

Hello my darlings! Long time no... read. :) I've been a bit preoccupied lately and even though I have so many posts to write and so many ideas, I just don't seem to have make the time to write them. I'm really going to try and do better, I promise. Anyhew... let's take a look at what I've been hauling all through September (and no, obviously my spending ban didn't hold up - I'm just a beauty blogger for pete's sake!). :)

September was quite the 'hair month'. I needed to stock up on a few of my holy grail items as well as some new hair products I just wanted to try out. As you can see from the picture bellow, I stocked up pretty good on Batiste. I used up the 200 ml can of the Cherry version and I'm half way through the Oriental version (which I decided to put in the picture as well, even though I haven't purchased it along with the other three - I just wanted to show you the whole collection). :) And to tell you the truth, the Oriental version/scent is my least favorite. It's not oriental at all... I would say it smells florally and I'm really not a huge fan of floral scents. But I'm really happy with the other three scents - the polka dot Hershesons version smells like the original, the ASOS exclusive Monochrome version smells the best (orange blossom & pepper) and the Tropical version is also really nice - very coconuty and well, tropical.

I also got a huge 500 ml can of Orofluido hairspray. It's kind of weird when I think of it - I use hair spray so very rarely, but I just needed the Orofluido one. :) This can will probably last me a life time, but it does smell amazing and I know I'll love using it.

I'm still using my Redken hair products at the moment (All Soft and Cleansing cream - reviews coming soon), but I decided to order some other products before I start running out of the Redken ones. I had my eye on the Healthy Sexy Hair line for quite some time and I can't wait to start using these two products.

And recently I got a mini tester of the Unique One All in one hair treatment at my hair dresser and loved it. I tried the red bottle that has that typical salon scent to it (smells very nice), but I decided I want the coconut version in full size. So far I really like it. :)

The next thing I had to pick up was my holy grail toner - Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid toner. This fella really helps with my blackheads, enlarged pores and those nasty hormonal breakouts I get, so I just can't be without it. :) The two mini bottles were a gift with my purchase and will probably featured in a giveaway soon, so stay tuned for that. :)

I also got a gorgeous face cream from Vichy (for review purposes) - from the Idealia line. I love the eye cream from this line, but wasn't impressed with the serum and BB cream, so I hope this cream will work better for me. The packaging is stunning, if nothing else. :)

My b6 Vitamin-infused spray is running low, so I decided to try another one from UD, this time I went with the famous All Nighter. I haven't used it yet, but I have high hopes. 

Another thing I was sent for review purposes was the new Lily Lolo pressed blush in Burst your bubble - gorgeous shade, great texture and great pigmentation. Will do my best to write a full review as soon as possible. :)

I was running low on my Estee Lauder Sensuous perfume (I have the small 30 ml bottle), so my cousin 'hooked me up' with a girl that sells original perfumes for half the price and I got the 100 ml bottle for 30 €! Such a bargain! I really, really want to get the Nude and Noir versions as well. :)

Aaaand... I finally got my hands on OPI's Don't Bossa Nova Me Around. If you're a regular reader of my blog, then you know I've been on a hunt for it. I found it on BeautyBay and I'm so very happy I did. It's a stunning shade (I'm actually wearing it right now). A manicure with it is coming soon...

I also got a beautiful package from a fellow beauty blogger, Sara. She sent me a bunch of beautiful lipsticks and nail polishes. Thank you so much honey! <3

And last but not least, I got a few face brushes from eBay. I really, really want to get some Zoeva brushes (a set or two), but I just don't have the money right now, so I decided to enrich my brush collection with some good quality eBay dupes. :) Now, these aren't amazing brushes, but for a $1 or $2, they are great! I haven't actually used them with makeup yet, so you'll have to wait a bit on my feedback. :)

I got four larger face brushes - for foundation, blush, bronzer (dupes for Sigma and Real Techniques) and also a set of smaller ones that are meant for concealer but I guess could be used on the eyes as well. :)

So, here you have my September 'new-ins'. What are your thoughts on them? What would you like me to review first? What have you been hauling lately? :)

New in: August

Hello lovelies! Today I have another 'little' haul for you... (go check out June and July's, if you haven't seen those yet). I intended to go on a spending ban, starting in July but as you can see from this haul, things really didn't go as planned. :) I mean I wasn't THAT bad and again, I managed to get most if not all products for a great price, but as of now I am 'sending' myself on a spending ban. I think I'll do a separate post on that (let me know if you're interested in knowing/reading more about that). :)

Again, I managed to get sucked in Look Fanastic's great deals and voucher codes, so I placed an order with them - I got some Antipodes products (mostly for my mom), some Benefit 'candy' (finally, we can buy Benefit products from Look Fantastic, Feelunique still has the stupid shipping restriction). I also got a new tube of Too Faced Better than sex (as a backup) and Tweezerman's Classic eyelash curlers. Other products were either from eBay or bought in our drugstores (or sent for review) - some of them I forgot to show in the group photo above. :)

While browsing through our drugstores I picked up got2b Rise 'n Shine hair spray from Schwarzkopf. I actually can't tell you why exactly I got this - I think the shiny bottle and the 'new' label on it, got to me. I actually have a full can of another got2b hair spray that I haven't used much at all... but I guess I really needed this one, huh. :) Anyway, I'll probably give the other one away and use this one - I prefer the smell of it and it's new, you know... ah, sometimes I don't even understand myself. :)

Then I made a huge mistake by deciding to browse around the new Bottega Verde shop. The lovely sales lady showed me everything and I do mean EVERYTHING. I also got a 50% off coupon as a new customer so I just had to get something. In the end I left with an amazing body oil - Black Vanilla. It smells absolutely divine and I don't regret purchasing it for a second. :)

After giving my mom my jar of the amazing Vanilla Pod face cream from Antipodes (it's a bit too heavy for my skin right now), she became obsessed with it and demanded I buy her a new jar asap. :) So I got her the large jar and also the Mini 'version' which comes in a cute little tube. The mini Divine oil was of course for me and after using it only once, I already know I'm going to love it.

Ever since I tried Caudalie's Beauty Elixir from the Must-have set I bought in June, I was dreading the day I would run out of it (it was only 30 ml of it, after all). I was contemplating weather to get the small bottle again or splurge on the bigger one (which is a better deal) and in the end decided to go big. :) I was a bit afraid of the price tag after seeing it on Look Fantastic and Feelunique (40 €!!!), but was relieved when I discovered it was actually much more affordable in our drugstores (28 €), so of course I bought it here (plus I had some coupons to use up). :)

After trying out Green Line's HydroMineral face cream and Micellar water I decided to try some other products from them and went for the Natural Clear Cleansing cream (it can be used as a cleanser/scrub or as a mask). So far I have to say I'm really liking it.

Another product I wanted to try out for a long time was Vichy's Eau Thermale - thermal water. I absolutely love my Serozinc spray from LRP and I really wanted to compare the two. I've only used it once but so far it looks like this water has nothing on Serozinc. A full review/comparison is coming soon. Oh, I was sent this for review purposes from Katja, Luna TBWA (thank you!). :)

Too Faced Better than sex has quickly become my HG mascara and I don't ever want to be without it, so I hurried up and ordered a back-up tube of it. This stuff is absolutely amazing, seriously... check out my review of it, if you haven't seen it yet. :)

My e.l.f. Mechanical eyelash curler was forced to retire (it wasn't in the best shape anymore - I've used the heck out of it), so I decided to try out something else. At first I wanted to go for Shiseido eyelash curlers, but since I was placing my rather huge order on Look Fantastic and not Feelunique, I opted for Tweezerman's and I have to say I am super impressed with them already. :)

And I also got some brushes - MAC 'dupes'. I got two 239 dupes and one 217 dupe. I haven't used them yet but they seem to be quite good, especially for the ridiculously low price. I hope they'll end up being great, like the random pencil brush I have from eBay - the best brush ever. :)

Can we say AMEN sisters?! :) I've finally managed to try out some of Benefit's products - Hoola and Dandelion were on my wishlist for the longest time, so I decided to get them first. I am planning on getting the Watt'S Up! highlighter and probably the Erase Paste as well (and a few other things...). I've tried both Hoola and Dandelion today for the first time and I am very pleased. :)

I've been pretty good with my nail polish obsession and haven't been buying nail polishes left and right. That's probably due to the fact that I now have quite a nice collection and have most of the shades I love wearing. But, lately I've been really into nudes - like every shade of nude I can find and when I saw (many, many swatches of) OPI's My vampire is buff, I had to get it. I literally ran into the drugstore to get it and... they didn't have it. They had all the other shades from this collection (Euro Centrale 2013), but not this one. So, I had to hunt it down and finally got it on Click2Chic. I absolutely love the shade and I've already done a manicure with it. :)

P.S. I'm now on the hunt for Don't Bossa Nova Me Around from the Brazil collection, so let me know if you've seen it anywhere (other than BeautyBay - from where I'll probably have to get it in the end). :)

Then I got a beautiful eyeshadow palette from I Heart Makeup. It was kindly sent to me from Ličila.si (thank you so much!). I wasn't expecting too much from it, being spoiled with my higher-end eyeshadow palettes, but I have to admit, it is very impressive. I swatched it yesterday (which took quite a while) and I can't wait to create some makeup looks with it. :)

Some hair 'accessories' I got from eBay were these lovely Toni&Guy salon hair clips. I got them because of Mateja and her gorgeous, luscious, voluminous hair (I want me some of that too!). I'm going to try and create me some Victoria's Secret sexy hair using these babies... let's hope I'll be able to pull it off. :)

And last but not least is yesterday's little purchase. I decided to try yet another Green Line product - Natural Clear Tinted moisturizer. I got this because I tested it out in the store and it was actually my shade (or even a bit lighter) and that by itself is a miracle (I'm just so sick of these BB/CC and other tinted creams being dark and orangy). I've used it today and I'm not sure about it yet - I don't hate it but I also don't love it.

I also decided to pick up two Catrice products - the eye brow pencil (I think I saw a few of my fellow Slovenian bloggers use this/talk about it, so I decided to try it out for myself) and a new nail polish in the shade 04 Lost 'n' Roses. :)

So, here you have them... all my 'new-ins'. :) Let me know if your particularly interested in a certain product so I can bring you a full review as soon as possible. Have a lovely weekend (or holiday if you're on one)!

New in: July

Hello hunnies! Today I have another 'new in' for you - I've been doing quite a bit of shopping lately, but I've also been fortunate enough to have gotten a bunch of stuff from different brands/sites as well. :) I've already started testing most of these things out and will bring you full reviews as soon as I can. I am however (as always) open for suggestions (if you'd like me to review a certain product first), so do let me know.

For the second month in a row I've managed to get sucked in Look Fantastic's great deals and discounts and had to place an order with them (first there was Fellunique, then BeautyBay and now this - I need to stop browsing these sites and unsubscribe to all their newsletters). :)

Anyhew... they had an amazing 20% off voucher code going on in celebration of World Cup, plus Redken and Kerastase were 20% off and Redken had an offer buy two products, get a free set of Sleep-in rollers, so you know... that's just not a deal you walk away from. :) 

So, since I was running out of my Prive Daily shampoo and conditioner, I decided to try out the All Soft duo and see how it turns out. I also (finally) picked up the famous Cleansing Cream and can't wait to give it a go.

Glitter Rollers, OMG! :D No, but seriously, I can't wait to test them out. It genuinely seems like an awesome set - you get 20 rollers, a pouch for them, a bigger, plastic bag (to hold everything), a DVD with instructions, a little pouch with hair clips - it's the real deal I tell you. :)

As I mentioned, Kerastase was also 20% off, so I decided to pick up K Forme Fatale and since I had a 20% off in general, I also got the Balance Me cleanser/balm - I totally blame Mateja for these two purchases (I swear, I love and hate that girl at the same time - she makes me buy stuff and spend money, but I do end up loving everything I get). :)

And whilst I was shopping with my cousin a week or so ago, I also decided to pick up Lavera's cleansing milk. I wanted to complete my cleanser 'collection' (like you really need that many cleansers in your life), before I do a huge comparison and I heard great things about this one (it's also very affordable).

I was also kindly sent a few goodies from Green Line by a company called Ilirija. I wasn't too sure what to expect from these products, but they have turned out to be amazing (reviews coming up soon). :)

I've also started to work with Afrodita and they decided to send me a few of their products as well. I'm really pleased with their selection - anti-cellulite cocktail is right up my alley, foot care products seem amazing (and will work great for my husbands tired legs as well) and the SOS lotion will definitely come in handy.

A few days ago I decided to visit Yves Rocher after quite some time (which is never a good idea - so many great new things!) and had to pick up the new and improved Coffee Bean shower cream (this stuff smells amazing!). I liked the way the older version smelled (like real, black coffee), but this one smells even better!

Then there was time to place a Lily Lolo order (after a really, really long time). I've finally ran out of my mineral foundation in Blondie (my own and the one Aida gave me), so I needed to pick one up asap (it's my holy grail foundation). And since I was placing an order on their site, I though I might as well try out some other things (and avoid postage costs - I hate paying for rediciouls postage costs in our country), so I picked up a gloss, a lipstick and a blush (can you guess which shades?). :) And I also got a mono eyeshadow for review along with my order (thank you Nina!).

Aaaand some more makeup... whilst I was browsing around the Yves Rocher store I had to swatch the new lipsticks they had on display and fell in love with no. 51 (a bright red-orange). I love that it's not too opaque and as such very easy to wear and perfect for summer. :)

When I went shopping with my cousin and bought the Lavera cleansing milk, I also picked up 2 of Revlon's Parfumerie nail polishes (in African Tea Rose and Autumn Spices) and the famous Clarins Lip Perfector in shade 05 (I finally caved and decided to get one). :)

And last but not least, I was sent some more Makeup Revolution goodies from Ličila.si - a nail polish, three pigments and a lip gloss. Expect reviews and maybe a makeup look using these products. :)

So, here you go... my new 'new ins' - what do you think of them? Is there anything in particular that you'd like to hear my thoughts on? :) What have you been buying lately?

New in: June

Hello my darlings! I hope you're having yourselves a wonderful Friday (even though it's pretty gloomy here in Ljubljana). :) I thought I'd show you some products I managed to acquire in June - I know I really like to read hauls/new in posts, so I hope you do too. :)

June has mostly been a skin care kind of month with just a few pieces of makeup in between. Mateja got me hooked on Look Fantastic (like I really needed to find another great shopping place) and I just couldn't pass on some great deals they had going on. Also, I'm trying to restrain myself from buying any more makeup I don't need. I'm not officially on a spending ban (I'm just not ready for one yet), but I have decided I need to use makeup more often and hit pan on at least on one product (seriously, I think I've never hit pan on anything - I've always managed to buy something new and exciting and use that). :)

Some shower products I got were Fa's Yoghurt Aloe Vera shower cream and Subrina's Strawberry Sorbet shower gel - these two were from my mom, I wouldn't really buy them myself, because both Fa and Subrina shower gels/creams aren't really nourishing, I'm more of a Dove fan (they really are the best drugstore brand for shower creams). The Subrina shower gel smells absolutely amazing, so I know I'll be using it and I'll probably end up using Fa as well (or giving it the husband - he doesn't really care what he uses under the shower). :)

And of course I had to get Garnier's Oil peeling (again, Mateja made me do it). It's not like I have 3 new peelings/scrubs waiting to be used up, I needed to add this one as well. :) But I think I'm really going to like it... I've just tried it on my hand today (when I was taking pictures) and it feels and smells amazing. Can't wait to try it out.

Aida got me hooked on Nuxe again, when she brought me her Huile Prodigieuse and I fell in love with it. :) It didn't take me long before I was casually browsing Look Fantastic for Nuxe products and found a great deal - it was Nuxe's Mothers day gift set. You got a full size Reve de Miel hand cream, a full size Reve de Miel lip balm and 30 ml of Huile Prodigieuse for 20 €! I mean, if that's not a great deal, I don't know what is.

Another recent obsession I blame on Aida is Caudalie skin care - she got me hooked with Vinosource SOS Thirst Quenching serum and made me want to try out more things from them. Again, whilst casually browsing through Look Fantastic (yeah right, I was just looking for an offer/excuse to buy something), I found the Must-have set from Caudalie which includes a 50 ml Micellar water, 30 ml Hand and nail cream, 30 ml Beauty Elixir, 30 ml Vinosource Moisturizing sorbet and a full size lip conditioner/lip balm. The set was only 22 €! Again, a great deal!

And then came a bit of makeup/nail products. I got Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara (finally! I've been dying to try it out for months) on Look Fantastic as well. I had a 15% off voucher code and got it for 19 € instead of almost 24 €. 

The most recent purchase was Bourjois CC cream - after loving the CC eye cream, I finally caved and bought the one for the face as well. I haven't tried it yet, but I hope it's good (I've been hearing/reading great things about it). And I've also (finally) got a matte top coat. I've really been wanting to play around with matte looks on my nails, but hadn't had a matte top coat. At first I thought I was going to get Essie's Matte about you, but then Muller had 20% off all OPI products and I decided to pick this one up for 10 €.

Last but not least is 100% Pure Coffe Bean eye cream which I got in Orca's giveaway on Facebook. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and I really like it. :)

So, here you have all my 'new-ins'. :) Let me know, if you're particularity interested in a product or two and would like to see a review soon.

Birthday HAUL :)

Hello my darlings! Today I have a huuuuge birthday haul to show you. My birthday was almost a month ago (on the 19th of April) but I had to wait for some of my orders to arrive to do a 'collective' haul (plus I did some shopping in the meantime as well...). :) If you're interested in what I got and where I got it, keep on reading...

I ran out of my favorite perfume - Illamasqua's Freak. I intended to use up some other perfumes I have in the meantime and not get a new one right away, but I got a 15% off voucher code for my birthday (from Illamasqua) and Freak was 50% off (it was only £25!), so... you just don't miss out on an opportunity like this, you know. :) 

I also decided to get some nail polishes along with the perfume, since I had 15% off - might as well order some more things, right? :) The nail polishes I got are Fire Rose, Trilliant and Facet, all three are incredibly beautiful and I'm really happy I decided to pick them up.

Next thing I bought was the new eyeshadow palette from Too Faced - Chocolate bar. When I first saw this palette (when it came out and was all over the internet), I thought to myself 'meh, I'll pass... I have enough neutral eyeshadows'. But recently I stumbled across plenty of great tutorials with this palette and I decided I had to get it and I'm happy to say I do not regret my decision. :)

I also got a gorgeous highlighter/blush from Lancome - Rose Balerine. This is my very first product from Lancome. It was quite expensive for a blush, but I had a 15% off voucher code, so I decided to get it - I mean come on, it's soooo gorgeous... how could I not get it?! (I've posted pictures of it on Instagram). :)

Sara (Passing Fancy) was looking for a new home for two of her Zoya nail polishes - Cosmo and Vega, and I just couldn't let anyone else have them. :) They are stunning glitter nail polishes with that gritty/sand effect to them.

I got my first Sleek eyeshadow palette - in Storm. I got it from my best friend as a birthday present (love yaa!). I was having a hard time choosing between Storm, Oh So Special and Au Naturel... in the end I went for Storm (obviously) and I'm really happy with my choice. :)

Some other 'random' makeup products from the drugstore - my mom bought me all these things. Well, she gave me the money and told me to go buy myself what I need (love you mom!). So I decided to pick up the new mascara from Maybelline (haven't tried it yet, hope it's good) and the new CC concealer from Bourjois (which I'm pretty happy with so far). The Garnier primer wasn't my choice, mom bought it for herself, thinking it was a normal face cream so when I explained what this was, she gave it to me (she doesn't use makeup, like any). :)

Then, thanks to Aida (love you honey!) I got a bunch of awesome stuff from Lisbon - she bought me a Caudile set (with the Vinosource serum and a cleansing water). She also gave me her Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse oil (which I haven't tested out yet) and of course bought me four gorgeous MAC lipsticks - Syrup, Plumful, Crosswires and Viva Glam Rihanna. All are incredibly gorgeous and I love them A LOT! :)

Last but certainly not least, are Essie nail polishes. As you can see I went a bit crazy with them... but to be fair DM (a drugstore here in Slovenia) had a great offer - buy one get one free, so I had to 'stock up'. :) I picked up Turquoise&Caicos, Watermelon, Fiji, Mesmerized, Buy me a cameo and Tight High. I also got two from BeautyBay - Fashion Playground (Spring collection) and Cocktails&Coconuts (Resort collection). And the last one I picked up (which completed my collection at 25 Essie nail polishes) was Spin the bottle - a gorgeous pink nude shade Sanja made me get. :)

So, what do you think of my 'little' birthday haul? See anything you'd like to have? Which product(s) would you like me to review first?

Hair haul

Hello my darlings! Today I have a little hair haul to show you. Most months I usually spend my money on makeup or skin care items and really neglect my hair... Well, this month I said 'NO MORE!' and decided to go full-on crazy and buy everything that said hair on it (well, maybe not everything, but I did get quite a few things). :)

Now as I said I tend to spend my money on makeup or skin care and very rarely buy hair care products. I don't actually neglect my hair, I can't afford that with an oily scalp and that fine, soft hair of mine, but I do usually buy hair care products when I need to and not when I want to, if you get what I'm trying to say. I always have a shampoo and conditioner, hair oil for my ends and some styling products at hand, but I don't like to experiment that much with hair care products - I did that in my teens and it didn't really make much of a difference to my hair (probably because I was buying shitty products). :) But now that I'm older (and wiser?), I am trying to get my hair in the best condition it can be and I decided to be brave and venture in the world of hair care again... :) Here's what I got:

♥ Prive Daily shampoo & conditioner - I'm very happy with the shampoo (Lush I love Juicy) and conditioner (100% Pure Coconut & Honey) I'm using at the moment, but I've decided to switch it up a bit. I've been using the same shampoo for quite some time now and it still works great for me, but I'm eager to try something else and see how it works. The conditioner was also great (I just finished it yesterday), but before I commit to it, I'm going to test out some other ones first. :) I haven't heard of Prive before, I just happened to find the brand on BeautyBay, looked at the ingredients (which are great) and decided to take the leap. I hope I won't be disappointed.

♥ Tigi Catwalk Mystique blow out balm - For this one I totally blame Mateja - she was the one that made me get it, even though I didn't need it (plus I ended up spending a ton of money on Allbeauty because I was looking for this product and found much more - khm, Ciate Mini Mani Month boxes, khm). :) I almost always blow dry my hair, so this is a product I will use (am using already). My first impressions are pretty good... so, thank you Mateja. :)

♥ Macadamia Natural Oil Flawless - This hair care product was something that I never gave a second look before I saw it on Essie's channel (essiebutton), where she talked very highly of it. It's a shampoo and conditioner in one and in a form of a foam, so it's a very interesting product. Haven't tried it yet so I can't tell you anything, but I hope it's good. :)

♥ Aussie 3 minute miracle (reconstructor & luscious long) - These two products (or at least one of them) were on my wishlist for a very long time. I've heard amazing things about Aussie hair care products but wasn't able to get them anywhere on line (except Ebay, obviously). Last week I went to Zagreb, Croatia with my husband and practically dragged him in the nearest DM drustore to find these products. And when I finally found them, they were 20% off, so I got two treatments and I can't wait to test them out. :) In the mean time (I don't know for how long), Feelunique also started to carry Aussie products, so check them out.

♥ Batiste dry shampoo - Last but certainly not least is my favorite dry shampoo, Batiste (my life saver for the days in between washes). I ran out of my large 'can' that I had in the original scent and quickly 'jumped' on ASOS to order more. I discovered they have some new scents, so I decided to try out the Oriental and the Cherry version. 

So, here you go... my 'little' hair haul. Own any of these products, want any of them? Which one would you like me to review first? :)

December's HAUL :)

Hello my lovelies! Today I'd like to share with you an amazing haul from December. I did a lot (some would say too much) shopping in December... but I just couldn't help myself - there were just so many great deals and sales going on, I had to... :)

First I 'stopped by' BeautyBay.com (as usual... seriously, I think I've placed an order with them every single month ever since I've discovered the site). They were having some great offers and sales going on, so I decided to pick up a bunch of great things...

♥ Mario Badescu Say hello to clear collection
♥ Too Faced La Creme lip cream (in Spice Spice Baby)
♥ Essie Absolutely Shore
♥ Essie Instant Hot
♥ Essie Hors d'Oeuvres
♥ Ciate Cookies and Cream

♥ Nails Inc Knightsbridge Road Galaxy

The next place I 'went to' was of course Feelunique.com. I had my eye on quite a few Antipodes products that came back in stock, so I grabbed them. And I also got an Orofluido shampoo and conditioner duo for a friend.

Something I got in our drugstore whilst shopping for Christmas presents, was this Maybelline mascara duo - the Rocket mascara plus the Great Lash (as a gift). Don't know exactly how much I saved, but I paid around 8 € for the duo. :)

I was or I am running out of my HG cleanser - Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish so I decided to check out their website for anything interesting... At first I only wanted to get another bottle of the cleanser but then I realized that my toner was also running low. Thankfully they were having an offer where both of these products came together in a lovely box for only £20.00. I also saw the limited edition of C&P (grapefruit and patchouli) and decided I need to try it out so in the basket it went. Of course I got a little 30 ml C&P with a muslin cloth along with my purchase, so expect a giveaway soon. :)

Last but not least, I stopped by Illamasqua - they were having some amazing discounts going on, so I just couldn't miss the chance. First I wanted to get the 75 ml bottle of Freak, but then decided to get the Freak Gift set which includes a 30 ml bottle, nail polish in Babtiste (gorgeous purple color) and an eye pencil in Sophie (black). It was reduced from £60.50 to £20.00, plus I got a special 10% discount on my mail so I saved another £2.00. The only downside were the high shipping costs, but considering how much I was saving, I decided I could live with that. :)

So here you have it... my huge December haul. I'm really happy with everything I got and I'm especially happy with the amount of money I ended up saving - almost a 100 €! Now, if that's not something than I don't know what is... :)

What are you interested in the most, what would you like me to review first? :)

They see me HAULin', they hatin'... :)

Hello my beauties! Sorry for the title, I just had to... :) So, by now you probably already know - I have a little haul for you... It's been way too long since I last posted one. I do post hauls on Instagram because I always take a picture when the postman brings me goodies or when I come home from shopping... so please go check it out here. :D Anyhow... let's see what I've been haulin' in lately, shall we?

I got myself another eyeshadow palette - Urban Decay Vice2 palette (yes, yes... I know I'm an eyeshadow junkie). I was planning on waiting and buying the Naked3 when it would be available to me, but I was browsing around BeautyBay and saw this little sucker, just waiting for me to order it. It was on sale, plus it's a limited edition palette, so I decided to snatch it! I'll be giving you a more in-depth review of it, along with some (hopefully) awesome swatches very soon, so keep an eye for that. For now all I can tell you is that I absolutely love it! :)

I decided to splurge on some Antipodes skin care products as well. I picked up the Grace Gentle Cream Cleanser and the Aura Manuka Honey Mask at Feelunique.com. And much to my surprise, they had an offer going so I got a full size Joyful Hand&Body cream along with my purchase (you can see it on the picture bellow). So far I've only tried the cleanser and I really like it. I think I'll be getting more Antipodes products real soon (I already have my eye on a few creams). :D

Another thing I got from Feelunique.com was the Deep Steep Brown sugar-vanilla hand cream. I had this cream on my wishlist for a long time and finally decided to try it out. I haven't 'tested' it out yet, but it does smell amazing! :)

I saw a review of the e.l.f. Contouring Blush & Bronzing Cream a while ago and decided to try it out... Would you believe I've never owned a cream blush or bronzer? Well, now I do... I hope this duo will work for me. :)

While I was on the e.l.f. website, I got a new Tone Correcting concealer (my old one was running pretty low). I just love this concealer so much... and it also smells nice, a bit fruity I would say. :)

I bought my first high-end foundation when I was at the Illamasqua event a couple of weeks ago. I got a tester and tried it out first, before finally deciding to get it. On the day of the event, the drugstore where the event was held, had a 10% discount on all makeup products, so that was also a little push towards the purchase - I saved only a few euros, but hey, better than nothing, right? :) I got this foundation (it's the Skin Base foundation, if you're wondering) in the shade 3.5 and I think it's a really good match from me. I'm really happy with this foundation. :)

I was in need of a heavier/more moisturizing face cream and the Antipodes face cream(s) were out of stock, so I decided to get the Nuxe Creme Fraiche de Beaute moisturizer. I had a tester of this cream a little while ago and really liked it, so I decided to go ahead and purchase the full size. It's a lovely face cream with a whipped formula and a lovely floral scent.

My most recent purchase is the 100% Honey & Virgin Coconut restorative conditioner. I'm not really happy with the conditioner I'm currently using, so I decided to pick this one up. It's supposed to be a new version/new formula of the Glossy Locks Honey Coconut milk conditioner (which I loved), so I hope it'll be great. I'll let you know... :)


So, that's about it... I hope you like these kind of posts. :) I'll try to bring you reviews of these products as soon as I can. And I'm sorry I've been MIA for a whole week... I was having some wisdom tooth drama, well still am, so thank you for being patient. Have a lovely day and I'll 'see' you soon! :)
