I was supposed to be on a no-buy but... Some things I bought were definitely justified e.g. antiperspirants, nail oils, Kiehls Ultra Facial Cream (so good for winter), new hair clip/ties (but I went overboard with those too).
Anyway... altogether I spent about 357 € which is A LOT. Also, crappy photos because there is rarely any light during winter!
Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream 125 ml
Exuviance Overnight Transformation Complex
From Kicks (82 €) because they were on sale and I had run out of my Kiehls mini jar and my Exuviance moisturizer is at the very end as well. They both are really, really good products for my combination skin. I bet the 125 ml jar will last me a year because a little goes a long way and my last Exuviance also has lasted me a year (haven't used it daily).
Rexona Maximum Protection Sport Strength x7
NEONAIL Cotton Pads
Essence The Nail Care Oil
Essie apricot nail & cuticle oil
Sample Discovery Box: RedkenAll Soft, BULGARIOmnia Crystalline, Hugo BossBOSS The Scent Magnetic, KérastaseSymbiose Micro-Peeling Cellulaire, Coach Dreams
No wonder Essie's Apricot Nail Oil is such a classic and bestseller. It is really good! It feels oilier than Essence The Nail Care Oil but absorbs as well. It has quite a strong fruity scent. I bought both because I just finished Essence bottle (took 8 months) and it is so cheap that I can apply it whenever&carry it with me without a fear of losing it.
These Neonail cotton pads look perfect for doing my home gel nails. A bit of an impulse purchase. Winter has made my nails very brittle at the moment so been just babying them, no gel nails for me until spring comes I guess...
I also love sample sets. Especially perfume samples. I had been dying to try Omnia Crystalline and while it is nice (a bit like Versace Versence mixed with Tiffany&Co Sheer??) it's not a must buy. Also really didn't like The Scent Magnetic, so medicinal on me. Didn't like the other Scent perfume either that I sampled earlier. I like Coach Dreams but it is not necessarily something I would like to wear and smell of. Too sweet, overpowering somehow?
From Notino: 70 €.
NYX Professional Makeup Glitter Primer
Bobbi Brown Luxe Eye Shadow Rich Sparkle 1,3 g – Moonstone
Jane Iredale Pure Pressed Blush 3,2 g ─ Flawless
Jane Iredale Dusty Gold Case
Kérastase Blond Absolu Cicaflash 15 ml
Definitely impulse purchases! Oi the horror, about 76 € from Cocopanda.
Actually, Jane Iredale Blush in Flawless is the color I kinda wanted Dior's Blush Charnelle to be. Charnelle is a superbly pretty color and different from what I already had but it is more red than I thought, people kept describing it brown but it definitely is not - Flawless is brown without being brown on face and I like such a natural everyday look.
Btw Jane Iredale compacts feel so nice. They have magnets and they feel sturdy. Too bad the brand seems to have pulled out of most retailers - not sure if I can purchase more stuff more them anymore...
I had been pining after Bobbi Brown's Moonstone single for a long time! It is a perfect shade. Very sparkly. I need to work on my technique how to apply it without fall out. Not sure why it is so expensive though, this was definitely an unnecessary splurge!
Kérastase Résistance Ciment Thermique
Brushworks Nail Clipper
Invisibobble Wrapstar Snake It Off
Invisibobble Barrette – Havana Mama
Invisibobble Barrette Too Glam to Give A Damn
Kérastase Genesis Fondant Renforçateur Conditioner 10 ml
Invisibobble Clipstar Clawdia
Invisibobble Everclaw Leo Love
Invisibobble Power Crystal Clear
Invisibobble Slim Bronze Me Pretty
Invisibobble Sprunchie Magnificent Leo
Again from Cocopanda, 92 €. Was so unhappy with my hair clip/hair tie situation that I went a little overboard, also I want to style my hair more sometimes so I got Kerastase heat protectant. Haven't used it before but I do like Kerastase products that I've tried so... it can't be bad?
Invisibobble's hair tie spirals are very good and I've been using them now for several years. I did try some cheaper no-name spirals as well but did not like them. The wrapstar is actually very nice! Can't lose the ribbon when it is attached to the spiral. I wanted some hair barrettes without metal to protect my hair as well. I feel I am a little bored with my hair, defaulting to ponytail almost every day.
Aveeno Dermexa Daily Emollient Cream
Eucerin Shower Oil pH5 Unscented
Nizoexpert Daily Care Shampoo
Some basics from pharmacy, about 37 €. Haven't used Nizoexpert Shampoo before but I am curious. Probably not any different than Head&Shoulders (I should buy a new H&S bottle as well). I've used the scented Eucerin shower oil before and liked it. Aveeno cream feels really nice! Leaves skin soft, not slimy at all. No scent. I thought it would have been thicker based on ingredients but it spreads and absorbs well.
