Did you know that Boots started shipping to Slovenia and some other European countries? We can finally get Collection 2000 concealer, Seventeen's Mirror Shine lipsticks, Origins, aerosols and all the light shades of foundations importers refuse to sell on our market. I jumped at the chance when they were running the famous 3 for 2 offer and placed my first order there. They accept Paypal and shipping is expensive at 10€, but it's through the DPD service so packages are tracked. My order arrived in four days and I'm really happy with my purchase as well as Boot's service.
Real Techniques Blush Brush
It took me way too long to buy this considering it's such an essential tool. It's a fantastic brush - a really fluffy tapered brush that is not too big, which I'll use for pigmented blushes, bronzer and powder.
£9.99 (12 €) in Boots.
Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm 210 Unapologetic
Unapologetic is one of the many shades that are not sold in Slovenia and the only shade I wanted from the matte range (we have five shades. Disappointing). It's a super bright pink with coral undertones. I just got it, so I haven't worn it yet, but there will be a full review.
£7.99 (10 €) in Boots.
Bourjois Java Rice Loose powder
I got this based on a recommendation from Sara (Passing Fancy). I was looking for it in our drugstores, but I guess it was sold here only for a limited time. I heard it's a lovely, illuminating setting powder that is a bit similar to the Hourglass Ambient powder. There will be a full review once I thoroughly test it out.
£9.99 (12 €) in Boots.
Essie Nail Polishes Spin the Bottle
I've official found the most perfect nude nail polish for my skin tone and the formula is not too difficult to work with. If you're in the market for a nude nail polish, go check it out soon because it's a LE. Post with swatches will follow within the next couple of days.
9.90 € in DM.
Panasonic EH2351AC Heated Eyelash Curling Wand
I finally got it. It actually didn't take that long to arrive from Korea, only two weeks. First impressions are all right - it's not that hot that it would burn the eyelids and as I read from all the reviews, it really only works after the lashes have already been curled and mascara was applied, so it only makes a slightly better curl and makes it last longer. If you want I can do a more in-depth review.
18 € on eBay from this seller.
Shiseido The Makeup Eyelash Curler
I wanted to try a high-end lash curler to see how it compares to my Tana's (which I can't find in Müller any more, so I guess they no longer sell it). This one is almost as popular as Shu Uemura. I need some more time to really test it, but so far I can say it's good, I'm just no convinced it's that much better than Tana's which is/was half the price. However, both are miles better than Manhattan's or other cheaper versions and are best I've tried. I'll do a comparison one day.
Regular price 24 € on Feel Unique.
Garnier Miracle Cream
This was on my wishlist since British Beauty Blogger raved about it and later I heard that this is a dupe for Origins Vitazing. It's a white face cream that releases a sheer tint when rubbed into the skin. I've only tried it on the hand and it starts of looking scarily almost orange, but sheers out and gives a natural looking touch of colour/tan. It also has SPF 20. There will be a review once I test it out.
11.99 € in Müller.
SunDance Getöntes Sonnenfluid SPF 30
Tinted sun protecting fluid
Tinted sun protecting fluid
After the last year's mattifying version, which I really like, Sun Dance made a tinted version. The shade of it is actually quite light and the tint is sheer, so the shade doesn't matter much, but it does mean there is not fear of leaving a white cast. I also liked it because this version is alcohol free and it felt light when I tried it on the hand. Haven't tried in on the face yet, but there will be a review one day.
3.69 € in DM.
I ran out of 3 Minute Miracle and I immediately repurchased it. I love this, probably more than the Dove's Oil Care one that I always rave about. You know I'm really fussy about conditioners because my hair needs more than average person's do and this one is a drugstore gem. It gives great results on my super dry hair and it smells amazing like bubble gum.
£4.99 (6 €) in Boots.
Batiste Dry Shampoo Wild
My massive 400 ml can of Tropical version is running out and I wanted to try a different scent of Batiste since there are so many. I picked up Wild because I heard it has a nice oriental scent. I'd describe the scent as chocolate-vanilla-musk-woody one in a perfume version, not the gourmand kind. Lovely! The closest scent I can think of is Black Star by Avril Lavigne once it develops if I remember that scent correctly.
£2.99 (3.6 €) in Boots
VO5 Give Me Texture Dry Texturising Spray
I picked this up quite randomly, though I did hear some good things about it. It's supposed to give texture and body to the hair. I've literally just tried it and I can say that this is how I imagined texturising sprays to be (very different from the L'Oreal's #TXT and far better). I'll report back when I use it a few times.
£3.79 (4.7€) in Boots.
Garnier Fructis Oil Repair 3 Shampoo
Damn, this is good! I didn't expect anything much since it's a drugstore shampoo, but Garnier meant business with this one. It looks like an average Fructis shampoo that has that lovely, typical Fructis apple scent, however, the formula is fabulous. It transforms into a dense, creamy rich foam and leaves the hair nourished, while still cleansing very well. After rinsing it off there is no dryness or that awful über squeaky clean feeling that I hate, however, it's only small fault is that the hair is left a bit tangly. If you have dry hair and you want something on a budget, this is a great shampoo to try.
Ingredients here.
2-3€ in Müller.
Aussie Miracle Moist Shampoo
Since I love the 3 Minute Miracle, I decided to try one of Aussie's shampoos as well. I'll do a separate review once I've had enough time using it. It smells divine, just like 3 Minute Miracle, so that yummy bubble gum scent.
6.10€ on Feel Unique.
Balea Rasiergel Summer Garden
Mango scent
This is my favourite version of Balea's shaving gel ever. It's smells like candy in mango flavour. Yummy! And it's teal, one of my favourite colours. The quality is again excellent. I should stock up on this version because it's LE. Balea make it permanent please!
1.99 € in DM.
Tesore d' Orientare Orchidea deodorant
I randomly grabbed this when I needed a new deodorant. It smells like soap - very clean and a bit floral (I just read on Fragrantica it's supposed to smell like J.Lo Miami Glow. Really?!). I'm not loving the scent, but it's not annoying either (yet). It performs like your average spray deodorant, so it's more about preventing/covering body odour than stopping the sweat.
3€ in Interspar.
Garnier Ultimate Beauty Oil Beauty Scrub
This is new on the market, but I already heard a few raves about it. I've only used it once and I already love it, but I'll report back when I use it a few more times. It smells the same as the Body Ultimate Beauty Oil.
4.99 € in Müller.

Riffi Body Brush
Another blogger inspired purchase, this time by Jana from Small Bits of Loveliness. I've been planning on buying this for ages, but always forgot. I bought the smallest one I could find to fit into my hand and I really like this one. The bristles are just prefect - soft, but not too soft. This dry body brushing business feels really nice and I've been doing it before almost all my showers (it only takes a few minutes). It's kind of addictive. It exfoliates the skin, assists in improving vascular blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, but you should google it you want to read more about it because that is all I know.
5.49 € in Müller.

Ulala! Detangler Hair Brush
I've had my Tangle Teezer for about 7 years and it still serves me well, but it is falling apart. I wanted something with a handle because I have small hands and TT is a bit big to hold, but instead of buying something online I just took one in DM. This is just a generic version that I've seen in several places, only someone put their name on it (Beauty Bay has pretty much the same version). The bristles aren't quite as soft as at TT, but that doesn't really matter on my thick hair, though it might on fine hair (I'd get a TT in that case. Macadamia's version is nice as well I hear).
8.75 € in DM. There is also a pink/black version.
essence show your feet super soft shoe insoles
EU 36-38
EU 36-38
I've been looking for these for a while and they finally arrived in our neck of the woods. These are padded insoles that you can put in any shoes to make them more comfortable and have a sticker on the bottom so they won't slide out. I'm a size 36/3(UK)/5(US) and these fit perfectly in all my shoes. They feel nice and soft, however, they make the shoe 1/2 or 1 size smaller, so these are nice if you have shoes that run just a bit big, but if they fit well, it can get a bit pinchy. There is a violet or pink version that is bigger (fits 39-41).
2.99 € in Müller.
Have a great day!

Great purchases, you reminded me that I need a body brush, and I'm so jealous that Boots ships to Slovenia :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiI'm sure they'll expand the list of countries eventually :)
IzbrišiTe Essence "vložke" za čevlje pa morem sprobat :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiThanks for the tip-off about Boots International. Pity they don't have Soap & Glory (they do have St. Yves). I've been looking at shampoos for dry hair recently and got the Wella Enrich. Have used it only once, but I'll consider the Garnier one in the future.
OdgovoriIzbrišiI was disappointed about Soap & Glory as well :/ I really wanted a few things :)
IzbrišiTole je pa nevarno, da Boots pošilja v Slovenijo. Zelo nevarno :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiUu, a je končno prišla k nam ta Garnier Miracle cream...Morem ponjo :)
I know :D
IzbrišiSaj je že nekaj tednov, samo sem jo šele par dni nazaj kupila. Je tudi krema za oči iz te linije.
fuuul dobre stvari. sem si kupila pred kratkim tale gel za britje in super diši. :D si pa moram omisliti tale batiste suh šampon, mi je moj ravno zmanjkal. :))
OdgovoriIzbrišisame dobre stvari si nakupila, zares, poročaj, kako bo kremica od garniera in garnier oil beauty. :))
xoxo
Bom poročala, ampak prvi vtisi so super :)
IzbrišiTesore d' Orientare Orchidea imamo v Intersparu? :O Sploh nisem vedela! Upam da ga imajo tudi v Sparu. Meni je pa ta vonj noro všeč, ampak kot deodorant se res ni izkazal, zato sem ga začela uporabljat kot body sprej & takoj bi imela tisto njegovo mini parfumsko verzijo, ampak nje najbrž ni v Sloveniji :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiAha :). Parfum je tudi pri nas :) Našla sem ju v Celjskem Intersparu, ampak če se prav spomnim je tudi v Cityparku in NM. Pa v Iliriji v LJ tudi :)
IzbrišiOoo hvala ti za to informacijo! Pomoje bom že ta teden letela po parfumček :D
IzbrišiNi za kaj :)
IzbrišiUlalala... super nakup! In ja, se strinjam s Sanjo - da Boots zdaj pošilja v Slovenijo je zelo, zelo nevarno! :D
OdgovoriIzbrišiDrugače pa komaj čakam na oceno te Garnier kremice, mi zveni zanimivo. Pa tale piling za telo se tudi dobro sliši. :) Essie Spin the bottle je čudovit nude-pink odtenek, ampak moram reči, da mi formula/tekstura ni najbolj všeč - sem imela kar malo težav pri nanašanju (manikura pride jutri na blog, pa boš lahko sama videla). :) Sprobavam pa tudi Aussie tretmaje trenutno (tale reconstructor pa luscious long) in zaenkrat me noben od njiju ni navdušil. :S
Meni je pa formula Essijevega spin the bottle čisto ok - dve plasti za polno prekrivnost in pa čez Seche Vite in je perfect. Ravno danes sem ga spet nanesla drugič zapored :)
IzbrišiOoo jeeeej ful fino, da si začela s suhim krtačenjem, me veseli, da je tebi tudi všeč! :)) Hvala za omembo<3 xx
OdgovoriIzbrišiPrav kul je :) You're welcome :)
IzbrišiNow THAT is a haul, look at how many amazing things you got!
OdgovoriIzbrišiWaw koliko časa imaš TT, jaz sem ga menjala po dobrem letu, mogoče letu in pol...prav "razpadel" mi je...pa sem ga redno čistila in vse.
OdgovoriIzbrišiMi je pa grozno, ker mi pada iz rok skos, pa pridem iz službe ob 2, se krtačim po hodniku, pa mi pade in zbudim vse v hiši :D
Macadamija je tudi ok, zdej bom pa še tega kupila.
Ja, dolgo mi je zdržal :) Je pa ročaj veliko bolj praktičen, ne vem zakaj TT vztraja pri svojem designu, kakšno verzijo z ročajem bi pa lahko naredili v vseh teh letih.
IzbrišiV Intesparu bo 25% cenejša od jutri naprej :)
I am in dilemma to buy or not Real Techniques Blush Brush. I dont have any brush for cheeks, but this seems so big for my face, or it is only on photo? I bought Blush brush but it is not ok for anything. Which is better Shiseido, tanas curler or Panasonic EH2351AC Heated Eyelash Curling Wand? i am curious :))
OdgovoriIzbrišiIt's actually not that big. I always thought it was huge based on the pictures, but in real life it's a good size to apply blush. However, it is very soft and more appropriate for very pigmented blushes or finishing powder. For less pigmented blushes I use Bobi Brown blush brush which is more dense.
IzbrišiI couldn't decide between Shiseido and Tana, but the latter feel more sturdy and because they're gold, you can see the lashes (which is more difficult at the black Shiseido ones), though both curls the lashes equally well. Still, Shiseido's are easier to find as well as replacement pads. Panasonic is a tool that is nice to have, but not an essential :)
Si mogoče kje zasledila Shu Uemura eyelash curler? Se že nekaj časa odločam ali bi kupila ali ne, pa sem jih našla samo na cult beauty. Zdaj imamo tudi te Tana in sploh nisem vedela, da se več ne dobijo v Müllerju :/ Si me čisto navdušila nad tem Batiste vonjem. Sem pred kratkim kupila tri mini Batisteje in je ta med njimi. Zdaj pa komaj čakam, da porabim ostale:)
OdgovoriIzbrišiSamo še na eBayu, kjer si jih pa ne upam kupit, ker je menda ogromno ponaredkov (tudi če izgleda normalna cena). Itak se jih pa ne splača vzet, ker se ne da dobit nadomestnih blazinic. Shu celo pravi, da moraš kupit novega vsake pol leta - niso čisto normalni. Za Shiseido se pa da. Japonesque so tudi menda zelo dobri in še blazinice ti zastonj pošljejo. Moja dva Tana sta zdržala pet let, samo refille sem morala pa v Avstriji kupovat. Me je tudi presenetilo, ko ga nisem našla več v Müllerju :/.
IzbrišiWild res lepo diši :) Jaz sem tudi hotela ta paketek, pa ga ni bilo na zalogi, potem sem vzela samo tega :)
Katastrofa. Če imajo tako za drek patent, da ga je treba kar na pol leta menjat?! Ne vidim logike. No zdaj se bom veselila ocene Shiseidojevih:) Jaz pa za Tano refille kupujem kar na ebayu.
IzbrišiI know. Res so lame :/. Da bi jih vrgel stran, čeprav so popolnoma v redu je prav nenormalno. Oni trdijo da se razrahljajo tečaji in da ni potem več dober. Niti približno ne verjamem temu, njim je samo važno da služijo.
IzbrišiOj! Eno vprašanje. Kje si kupila Tangle Teezer? Gledam, da je na Feelunique 4 evre dražja kot na Beautybay, pa me zanima, če so tam potem ponaredki al so zanesljivi. Če imaš kaj več informacij. :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiOriginalnega? Uh, ene miljon let nazaj na HqHair. Takrat je bil še po 10 €, zdaj so pa malo dražji. Beauty Bay ima originale in cene so še najbolj ugodne :)
IzbrišiPomoje si bom kar kompaktnega nabavila, da zaščiti ščetine, ker se veliko selim naokoli, je pa tudi ta na Beauty Bay cenejši. Hvala ti! :)
IzbrišiPS: ko sem že ravno v tem postu: danes sem dobila RT Blush brush. Puhek en, res je zakon brush, komaj čakam da ga uporabim. :D
IzbrišiKompaktni je drugače kar dosti manjši od originalnega, ampak kar je verjetno v redu, ker ga je zato lažje držat v rokah :)
IzbrišiBlush blush je awesome :) Moram naročit več RT čopičev :)
