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? :)
