Shopping from March to April

I spent about 177 € and I also went to hairdresser, about 140 €. I did have a gift card and got some gifts as well. Otherwise Dior's Blooming Bouquet would have cost me over 60 € alone... Overall I am happy with my purchases even though I've already spent so much this year considering it is only the end of April... In total I've spent 534 € on products!!! 




Dior Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet EdT 30 ml

Samples: Clarins Hydra Essentiel [HA²] Night Cream x2

I had a gift card that I wanted to use and top up my favorite perfume during the sale! So it cost me about 11 € of my own money. So rarely I actually repurchase fragrances! Blooming Bouquet is really safe, soft, complimentary feminine perfume, not interesting for true perfume addicts, but excellent for everyday wear for me.


Dior Rosy Glow Blush 020 Mahogany

Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer in 05 Hot Chocolit

Soon I have completed my Dior Mahogany collection (just a joke). This blush in Mahogany has received a lot of critique for being patchy compared to other Rosy Glows and being such a weird color that could look like a bruise, someone complained it being just cool brown and not enough red... 

Anyway! I am glad I trusted my instinct. The color is perfect. It does look a lot more red on me than on the pan. Actually, on my face it looks nothing like the pan. It looks more red, doesn't look cool, doesn't look purple, just enough brown. But it certainly doesn't swatch well, looks quite weird and even on cheeks it looks slightly patchy if you look close. It hasn't bothered me yet though but I am not a make up nerd.

Also, Fenty's Hot Chocolit is such a perfect shade as well! I'm really into brown right now! It has slight sweet scent but I really seem to dislike it the more I use it. It's also sheer enough to be versatile and actually not very brown unless you layer it. Just enough shimmer but I'm not sure how I feel about the pink flecks. My partner said that my lips look very kissable, I feel the gloss doesn't look very good in photos. The compact feels nice. Gloss Bomb is my first product from Fenty Beauty.


Schwarzkopf Gliss Supreme Length Balsamspray

Palmolive Sparkling Bloom Shower Gel

Double Lift Comb

From Normal. Maybe, slightly, impulse purchases. But I needed a new hydrating hair spray and the shower gel with peony and rose scent is just calling my name! I hope it's not too good because it is limited edition! The comb is actually great for short hair. About 9 €.




Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow Quad Palette Space Rider

Caudalie Fleur de Vigne Shower Gel

From Cult Beauty, about 55 €.

The Moondust palette is unbelievably beautiful! I thought they would never release it in Europe! All four shades look great on me. They are very sparkly. I am so happy I bought the palette despite trying to adhere to my no-buy... I do understand the cult reputation Space Cowboy has.

I've never owned any UD Moondust singles so I can't compare the palette to those. But I just bought Bobbi Brown's Luxe Eye Shadow Rich Sparkle in Moonstone. It is drier, a bit scratchier than Urban Decay Moondusts. Maybe a bit more fall out due to that. But Moonstone is incredibly sparkly and beautiful too, and luckily completely different shade from Moondust Spade Rider palette shades!

I just really like glitter! A few years back I was all about matte, can't believe it!

I bought Caudalie's shower gel to get free shipping. But I do constantly use up shower gels and I like Caudalie.


Dermosil Panthenol Cream 5%

Dermosil Lanolin Cream

Wella Color Fresh Mask Pearl Blonde

All gifts! My mom always orders basics from Dermosil. Lanolin is a great basic for lips, nails... The panthenol cream seems to work great as a hand cream. It's nourishing but not heavy. Got the color mask from hair stylist as I got a part of my hair bleached.


Bepanthen Balm

Nizoexpert Daily Care Shampoo

Aco Intimate Care Cleansing Wash

Avene Cicalfate Repairing Protective Cream

Can you tell I did a bit of pharmacy shopping?! Bepanthen is repurchase, multipurpose product for scratches, irritated skin... wounds... Nizoexpert is repurchase as well. I think it is an okay shampoo and I made my life easier by buying the same again. 

I've heard good things about Aco&Avene products so decided to try them.


Nivea Creme Mini

L'Oreal Elvital Bond Repair Conditioner

I've never tried the classic Nivea Creme before. Only reason I actually bought it this time, was the cute holiday mini tin! Also, needed a new conditioner for hair so why not try this new one.
