Shopping September

Just September shopping this time. Quite a lot of stuff though... the end of the year stress is getting to me again... Altogether about 156 €. Also went to hairdresser, about 80 €.





DIOR Mini Perfume Set: Miss Dior EdP, Miss Dior Blooming Bouguet EdT, J'Adore EdP, J'Adore EdT, Diorissimo EdT

Wow, what a cute perfume set! Found it at Vienna/Wien airport duty free shop. I haven't seen much mini sets from Dior and I've been dying to try Miss Diors. About 72 €.

I like both Miss Diors, I could easily use them as my daily scents. I don't think Miss Dior EdP is too sweet, I was afraid of that. It is rather warm vanilla floral. Blooming Bouquet is quite soapy floral.

 J'Adore EdT is more to my taste than the EdP so far. They are not my type of scents but EdT is growing on me. Elegant, mature soapiness. Apparently, the current new EdT is the old Lumiere? Diorissimo gives me a strong lily of the valley/syringa in the beginning. As lotv I do enjoy it a lot. It is long lasting. But it is just not me. At least right now. 

Btw I really recommend visiting Vienna/Wien, this was my first time and I am very impressed by the buildings, parks, cakes, friendly people. <3






DIOR Addict Lip Maximizer 014 Shimmer Macadamia

I gave in finally, because of a discount code! 29 €. I don't even know why I keep oohing and aahing over Dior. I know it is not rational. I guess my tiny little mind thinks Dior is glamorous, luxurious and I want to be a part of that world.

The shade is excellent nude. Not too brown, too red, too pink, too peach or too mauve. Shimmer is very fine and subtle. The lip gloss stings my lips quite strongly and for a long time when my lips are not in top condition. But a few days later there was barely any stinging when I used the gloss again.






Canmake Secret Powder Clear M01

Canmake Fleur Cheeks Blend Type B01 Cotton Coral

Primavista Mini Set Long Lasting Primer UV Beige SPF50 PA+++ and Blurring Powder Mimosa Pearl

Cezanne Lasting Curl Mascara Black

About 35 €? I am doing it again. Buying things just to experiment. Actually my sibling ordered these along other stuff from Amazon JP so we combined/split shipping costs so it wasn't too bad! 

I already tested the Cezanne mascara and it is very hard to remove. Nothing except oil cleansing worked. I like the precise wand, it suits my lashes very well. But for more dramatic lashes I had to apply several coats and my lashes started to look quite crunchy and lost the natural curl in the end. For extremely natural and long lasting look, one coat is ok.

Canmake Blush Cotton Coral is very sheer. But I knew it would be so no shock. Shade is peachy pink coral on me so accurate name. 

Primavista Primer is very promising! The bottle has a ball inside, you are meant to shake it before applying. It has a light fresh minty scent after the first alcoholic whiff. Similar to Innisfree No Sebum powder. Consistency is very liquidy, like many modern long lasting sunscreens (Garnier UV Fluid) but this one is also tinted pinkish beige. Very easy to apply, dries quickly, ever so slightly blurring.

The powder Mimosa Pearl on the other hand is a failure for me, it has glitter! Not pearly sheen, or micro glitter, just some glitter dots here and there! Interesting choice as it's not quite enough to be a highlighter either. But, maybe something to apply before gym where no one cares if you have glitter dots on your face... Or for clubbing... Or vampire party.


Schwarzkopf Gliss Oil Nutritive Hair Conditioner

Garnier Micellar Gel Wash

Vaseline Hand Cream Advanced Repair No Fragrance

Some boring but very useful basics! About 10 €. Vaseline Hand Cream is surprisingly good for 2 €! Been using it for two weeks about. Definitely would recommend.


Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara Waterproof

10€. The Cezanne mascara was so hard to remove that I need to try an alternative for everyday use. Currently I am using Anastasia Beverly Hills Lash Brag Volumizing Mascara Mini and it smudges on me almost on a daily basis even though it does give me beautiful lashes. Sky High mascara already has huge hype behind it so it can't be too bad, now can it? I would have bought Maybelline Snapscara Waterproof again, but it has been discontinued!!
