MAYBELLINE Fit Me Poreless + Matte

100 Warm Ivory

I already have a full review about this, but of the shade 110 Porcelain which is the lightest we can get in Slovenia. I'm completely in love with this foundation, it's definitely up there tied with Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum as my favourite, it might be my all-time fave, I still need to see how it works all year round, but it's my preferred choice this summer. After years I finally had the chance to visit Austrian drugstores, which I realised now have almost identical assortment of products as Slovenia, so I was disappointed, but they do have three additional shades of this foundation, 100, 102 and 105. I have finally found my prefect match in both formula and colour - people, it's a miracle! 100 is almost the same as Fit Me Luminous + smooth version 110, so about a shade lighter than Matte + Poreless 110 and it fits me pretty much perfectly. The undertone is yellow, but not intense as at Nars Siberia which is the other shade this is similar in lightness. One of the best buys I've ever made.

BOURJOIS Healthy Mix Foundation 

50 Rose Ivory

I grabbed a sample of this foundation in my local drugstore, but of the shade 51, which is the lightest here. While the shade was a bit too dark, I adored the texture which was surprisingly so much different than I remember. I used to own the very first version of this foundation (with a black cap. There was one more in between) and I really disliked it, but this one is essentially Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum - I seriously see no difference. Both have this wonderful invisible finish, light-medium coverage (less than first version) and a healthy, dewy finish. I'm really loving this foundation, but for summer heat it's a bit too shiny for me, so I stick mostly to Fit Me, however, on a cool rainy day like today, it's great. Shade 50 Rose Ivory is a new shade added to the HM range and it's like our prayers have been answered, since not only did Bourjois go more towards pink instead of their usual strong yellow undertone, it's also nicely pale. The fact it's pink is not ideal for me, but blended out, it doesn't look that off and it's better than the strong yellow 51 of Serum. Another good buy.

Boots, £9.99 - Also big, very saddening news to me, Boots International will stop with their service on the 30. August. Why it came to this decision I've only found some very vague, evasive responses with no pertinent information, but I relied on Boots for several products/brands I can't get here, so this truly sucks.

L'OREAL Paradise Extatic Mascara

Lash Paradise is at the moment probably the most hyped up mascara and the American version comes in this super pretty pink packaging, but European didn't just get a different name, it also a new packaging which I don't find nearly as pretty. It's a mix of matte and classic metal look of rose gold, but the matte part just looks boring rosy brown. I think the formula and the brush are the same, and I have to say, I don't get the hype. Not that it's not good because it is, it's actually really good and I love using it, but I've had cheaper mascaras with the exactly the same result. In general it adds a good amount of volume and length, it's not very wet when you open it, so it's not a messy mascara that would clump the lashes or smudge. It can lift my lashes a bit and keep them that way, but I again had ones that were just that extra bit better as at this one my lashes are already hitting my glasses. So worth the hype or not? If you have naturally nice lashes like me, not really because you'll get the same or better effect with an Essence, Max Factor of a Beyu mascara, but if you still haven't found the one, maybe it's worth a try. I just wish our version was pink as well, it'd be more Instagram ready.

*MAKEUP REVOLUTION PRO HD  Palette Amplified 35

Dynamic

Makeup Revolution and eyeshadows tends to be a very average performing combination, but lately the palettes I've been receiving aren't half bad (though I think it was from Freedom Makeup, but that's the same to me anyway). There are still big inconsistencies in the quality and performance of eyeshadows, but I notice their neutral eyeshadows have come a long way. Here it's another mix of quality, but satin formulas in general perform nicely, swatch pigmented, only blending isn't quite as elegant as with more expensive eyeshadows. Mattes and the purple side are already a bigger miss than hit with some eyeshadows. Mattes are chalky (that bright purple in the last vertical row swatches weakly and blue, just look bellow), but there are some nice ones, particularly those that are an eggplant tone. In terms of colours, aside from purples there is a mix of taupes and some warm browns, but most are crease shades for my taste, so it's a smoky type of palette rather than a neutral every day one. The packaging is actually really nice, shiny, sleek and I'm absolutely loving the massive mirror in it. I've seen my fellow bloggers received different versions of this palette, so there's also a variety of shades.

*MAKEUP REVOLUTION Unicorn Heart Highlighter

I feel as though the unicorn trend hasn't even reached its peak yet, since I see new products on Instagram almost every day and it's starting to get a bit tiring, but this packaging is adorable. I love the heart design, the holographic writing, the whole deal looks beautiful. This is my second rainbow highlight and I wasn't terribly impressed by Essence's one and I feel this one's tone is again a bit strange since even if I mix all the shades well, it ends up a green on me, but only when I swatch it heavily, while on the cheeks it looks like an ok champagne highlight. But this is brighter than the sun. I try to apply it very lightly with a very fluffy brush, but this is seriously so hard not to overdo. If you're a fan of those overly highlighted "drag" looks that are apparently super popular on YouTube (not my cup of tea) this will definitely be for you.

*MAKEUP REVOLUTION Luxury Powder

Banana 

My first banana yellow powder which is meant for brightening the under eye area, since yellow neutralizes the purple tone of circles. I've been deliberately avoiding these because it took me just a second to realize banana powders will only work on medium skin tones, so someone with such a pale skin tone like me won't see as much benefits from these. On me the yellow tone, even if applied lightly, is too apparent. I also don't suffer from purple-blue circle, instead they've been red since I was little, so it's also not the tone for me. The powder itself is finely milled and quite pigmented for a powder, it's also very, very matte. Luckily I haven't made it look to cakey yet, but due to the finish, it's one you probably won't want to overdo. Again this is a product more for those who are fans of Instagram/Drag and other versions of very overdone makeup that requires baking and you really get a ton of powder for the money, so it's a great deal.

EUCERIN Sun Fluid Anti-Age SPF 30

I won this in a giveaway on Hysteria Decay's blog which was great because I was planning on getting an European sunscreen, since they are more reliable especially for very sunny summers like we're having. This one has claims about anti-ageing, though let's face it, all sunscreens could say that and this one also states it makes wrinkles less visible, so far I can't say I noticed anything. It also claims to protect against HEV (High Energy Visible light) or as it was translated in my press release, blue light from screens which apparently also causes free radical damage, though the extent of it compared to regular sunlight was not explained, so I'm looking at it as another sales pitch. It promises to be matte and it has alcohol on 4. place. Texture is very much a standard European sunscreen, so a light lotion and I noticed no white cast when I'm blending it in. It's like a regular cream when you apply it, so tacky rather than sticky and it takes about 10 minutes for it to sink in enough that I can start with the makeup. Finish isn't matte, it's more like a satin with some sunscreen shine. As a base under makeup it works fine and it's not flaking, I also don't find I need any extra powdering. Packaging is great, I always like a pump and this one is pretty easy to use, you can see how much product you get with one full pump above. While it's not as elegant as some Asian sunscreens, my main is issue how long it takes to set, it's still a very nice sunscreen, however, after a week of use I started noticing my skin reversing to its pre K-Beauty routine state, so it's not soft, smooth and I even had some mini spots developing, so I stopped using it and went back to Biore. I'm still trying to get my skin to what it was, but so far with no success which kind of blows. I trust the protection more than Asian sunscreens, so this one is more for the beach for me, but as an everyday sunscreen I'll avoid it due to the negative effect on the state of my skin. It also exists in a SFP 50 version.

DOVE Advanced Hair Series Quench Absolute Supreme Crème Serum 

This is one of my favourite ever hair product for my dry, rebellious hair because it just tames it like nothing else (well, apart from Potion 9, but that's more expensive). For some reason Dove pulled their entire Advanced Hair Series from Slovenia (and Austria), so I can't get this here anymore and I decided to stock up when Boots was having a 2 for £8. Not all are for me of course, two are for my cousin, who also loves this. I've talked about this is several posts, but in short it's a godsend for dry, coarse hair that is never silky. With this I don't even have to use a round brush when I'm blow-drying my hair, it just dries straight with no frizz. It's a silicone cream product, not the lightest, so those with thin hair won't like it (it's says on the bottle itself that's it's for wavy, curly hair which is usually coarse and thick) and it also works amazing on dry hair as a frizz tamer and shine enhancer. If you have Style + Care version in shops, this is the same thing.

SOAP & GLORY Orangeasm Body Wash 

I already have a body butter with this scent that really grew on me despite not being a classic orange, zesty scent, so I decided to grab the body wash as well, since Boots was running a 3 for 2 and I already had two items. The scent is the same, so the scent of the orange peel which ends up being a bit more bitter than the simple freshly cut orange scent. It wasn't love at first try for me, but it ends up being so addictive. The body wash is one of those creamy sorts and I need to use a bit more than usual because I feel it's not as foamy, but it's still ok and I you get quite a big bottle with a nice pump (definitely going to recycle that for other gels). I wouldn't say it's as luxurious as Dove, but it's nice.

Boots, £6.50

SOAP & GLORY The Rushower dry shampoo 50ml

I love Soap & Glory scents and the brand in general, so I was hoping they'll release a dry shampoo and they did. My hair isn't oily, not even now in the summer heat so I don't use dry shampoo for their traditional purpose, but since I don't wash my hair for a week to avoid unnecessary damage and obviously because I don't' have to, I occasionally need something for in between to keep it smell fresh. The smells of this one is very intense, actually a bit much for summer, but it's the classic Soap & Glory scent meaning that Miss Dior Cherie one. It didn't look as white as Batiste on my dark hair, but there was a hint of greyness before I blended it in. It feels less powdery than Batiste, so I'm not convinced it's as good for very oily hair (I could be very wrong here), but as a hair refresher for my hair, it's lovely. I only have the small bottle.

Boots, £2.50

SOAP & GLORY Hand Maid Antibacterial Hand Cleansing Gel 

These are just the best hand sanitizers ever, so I got two more. The scent is amazing and I feel that they aren't as drying as some end up being with longer use, plus they don't leave any residue that some cheaper version do. They smell like candy, in particular 505 sa crtom, which are hard fruity sweets. I also have the Sugar Crush version, but it smells like lemon cleaning supplies.

Boots, £2.50 per piece

BALEA Rasiergel

Peppiger Papagei

The newest version of shaving gel, this one is described to smell like nectarine and Indian fig. The scent is not a proper nectarine scent, but it is a somewhat typical sweet Balea Tropical scent. 

DM, 1.99€ 

BILOU Cremiger Duschshaum

Fizzy Berry

I saw a ton of these on Instagram and I liked the packaging as well as the array of scents, so I grabbed one. I believe it's one of those blogger/vlogger-decided-to make-money-by-cashing-in-their-popularity-type-of-products, but I'm not familiar with German Blogo/YouTube sphere. (forgive me if I sound judgmental, but my humble beginning started in a more innocent era of blogging when no one was writing a book or launching sets of lashes). I actually liked all the scents available, Apple Slushy was among the nicest, the Coco Coctail was a nice and I loved the Donut version, only the Chocolate Cupcake felt a bit much. Too bad they didn't have the Peach version, I'd love to try it. This is basically a classic shower foam, something I don't tend to buy because I always assume they don't last long, but we'll see how this one fares. The foam is lovely, very soft, firm and lush enough, but I'm even more impressed by the scent. It's so lovely, sugary candy berry, like a nice fizzy drink. The scent is just overall fantastic and I enjoy using the foam even more because of it.

KATY PERRY Mad Love Parfum Deodorant

Though my perfume taste has become more grown up, I still have an occasional craving for something super teenagey sweet and immature. This is my latest slightly embarrassing love. I'm not a fan of any celebrities, I honestly couldn't care less, but this affordable sugary sweet concoction has been my weak spot for about a year now and I rarely left DM without spraying it on myself. I was planning on getting the fragrance, but then I saw they had the deodorant version that's much cheaper (it also had an additional discount) and based on my quick test in the shop, it smelled the same as was equally strong. This is a pretty straightforward mix of sugary sweet strawberries and coconut, to me it actually smells like pineapple gummy bears, but with a very sweet, comforting base (coconut and musk here). I'll wear it at home for my own guilty pleasure. Also it's a deodorant, not an anti-perspirant, so basically just a weaker perfume, which in this case isn't weak.

SCHWARZKOPF got2b Rise 'n Shine Soufflé

Another thing that like Dove I can't get here anymore. No idea why. The name souffle is probably the best way to describe this, but it's very unique among hair styling products. It's a mix between a styling wax, cream and mousse, and it has this whipped, but firm texture that feels like a wax but without the usual greasiness, so it's great for all types of hair. I use it to style curls that I made with a curling iron. If I use a hair spray, I'm just adding hold, while with this I get to shape the curls into their final form, reduce frizz which give them a more polished, glamorous appearance and I'm adding a nice amount of hold at the same time. It's not terribly heavy or sticky, though you can feel in the hair, but it's not that crispy hold of a spray or gel, nor is it the greasy hold of a wax. It's the perfect hybrid product in my eyes and I'm hoping got2b keeps this line. 

Boots, £4.19

BATISTE Stylist Hydrating Oil Mist

I love got2b's Oilliscious spray which is healthy hair faker in a can, but like the soufflé, I can't get it here anymore (notice the recurring theme of my purchases from Boots.) Just like the got2b one, Batiste is described as oil in a spray form and though I was going to repurchase got2b, curiosity got the best of me and Batiste was cheaper. Well, I don't really like it. At least not as much. It's a combination of things, for one it's not as elegant, I mean that in a sense that got2b feels like an actual light oil, so the hair isn't really wet when you apply it, it's just shiny and tamed, but this already feels like it's not enough silicones or oil, it's more like a conditioner in a spray form. My main issue is that not only it feels heavier, it also doesn't give instant result that I expect when I use such a product, instead I need to wait for the hair to dry. Then it has a very nice amount of shine and it looks sleeker, but still I prefer got2b.

RIMMEL Lasting Finish Colour Blush 

010 Santa Rose

Slovenes finally got Rimmel back after about 15 years or so and I have to say that the stands are a let-down (I particularly resent that they took away those couple very pale shades of foundations by Manhattan only to replace them with way too dark Rimmel's. Where's my 010 Light Porcelain?!). Regardless I found one product from my wishlist - this blush that I've been eager to try for years because so many people love it for being a simple, goes-with-everything colour. Actually, based on pictures online, I expected it to be more rosy-pink, so more like Catrice's Rose Royce or Nuts About you, but I was surprised to see it's a pale muted peach shade. The texture is very soft and though it's pigmented, the shade is quite light, so it gives a soft flush to the cheeks.

MAKEUP FACTORY Mat Lip Fluid

61 Velvet Rosewood

I've been keeping this on my wishlist for a long time. I've tested them once in Műller and immediately loved how matte they looked, then I saw a review from Sanja, who adores it and I trust her, so I knew I needed it, though another enabler was Petra, who kept posting all those gorgeous looks on Instagram. I was concerned a bit that it'll look too brown on me because it's darker than Nude-ist, but I've been wearing it pretty much every day since I got it or if I started with another colour I changed it to this one midday. It's a darker nude-rosy shade that does have some brown tones to it, but they're not overpowering on my complexion. The formula is to me similar to Sleek's, though it is thicker and the applicator is so much better. It dries to a lovely matte finish, but as far as staying power goes, it's good, though it doesn't survive eating that well. The only thing that bothers me at it is that it has a "Rimmel Apocalips scent", which is pretty weird, but otherwise it's pure love.

ESSIE Nail Lacquer

Eternal Optimist

I saw this at Polona and I have to admit I had no idea this shade was on our stands, but if I knew, it'd be mine a long time ago. I wholeheartedly adore it! It was already in my monthly favourites because it's the shade I've been looking for a while. These type of muted powdery pink-kinda mauve shades tend to look very different on me than on others, but this one is perfect. The formula is fantastic as well, very smooth and easy to apply. 

DM, 9.99 €

ESSENCE The Gel Nail Polish

56 You and Me

I wanted this shade for a while and I expected/really wanted it to look like this - a dusty pink-mauve. . Well my skin tone betrayed me once again and it looks a lot more violet on me (it's on my nails in the Misslyn review). At least I don't have any pastel violets, so it's not a total miss. The formula is on the thick side, but nice and smooth.

BALEA Reinigungs Öl

So many people have been raving about this oil and there are many good reviews about it, but still Balea decided to discontinue it and promised no replacement. I hurried to get my bottle before they disappear from the shelves (there are still some in my local DM). 

I can already feel the ugly stares, but I'm not blown away bit it. Those who love it please don't hurt me, but it's just soo thin and it doesn't really emulsify that well, so I have to use a ton of it and it's still not the same as L'Occitane's. It does the job ok, but there's some waterproof mascara left nd I just feel it can't get it off that well because it's so thin. Regardless it's still a very decent product and considering it's one of the rare budget cleansing oils available in Slovenia, it's a good buy. However, to fair, even if it wasn't discontinued, I'm not sure I'd repurchase it. There are so many people who love it, so if you still find it, don't even listen to me and get it if you want it.

PALMOLIVE Chocolate Passion Body Butter Wash

I made a little mental squeal when I first saw this, I mean just look at this chocolate covered packaging - how can a sweet tooth like me resist? When I smelled it in the shop, I loved it so much because it was such a rich, proper chocolate scent, but when I actually tried it in the shower, I was a bit disappointed as it's a lot more artificial and occasionally sour, but still ok. The formula is nicely creamy, though a but light, it's light brown-taupe tinted and it foams fine, but it's not at all nourishing. There is also a vanilla and strawberry dessert version in this line.

Sun Dance Mattifying Sun Fluid SPF 30

I bought another one of these, you might already recognise it, since I talk a lot about it on the blog. I really miss the tinted version because it's lighter, but they don't sell it anymore. It's a very decent SPF for the face, at least for the amount I'm prepared to pay for and it just works. I thought about maybe checking Lavazon's version instead, but I couldn't get to Müller at the time. I checked Eveline's version, which looked very promising, but it has mineral oil in it, which I'm fairly certain breaks me out and I didn't want to risk it.

SCHWARZKOPF Styliste Ultime Satin Frizz Control Anti-Frizz Lotion

Since I can't find Dove Quench Absolute Supreme Crème Serum anywhere, I obviously started saving mine like crazy because it's one of my absolute favourite hair care products ever, so I wanted to find a replacement. I know that Dove has a anti frizz serum creme in another line, though the ingredients are different than in Quench, I was hoping it's similar, but we can't get it here, so I found this one from Schwarzkopf which looked similar enough. Unfortunately, it's not that similar. It' stickier for one, so it doesn't create such a fab smooth result on dry hair. On damp hair before blow drying it does tame the hair well and it's pretty sleek, however, it still feels dry and it doesn't give as much shine as Dove's, so it's not that good of a replacement. It does what it promises though, it just doesn't go that step further.

*MAYBELLINE The Falsies Push Up Drama Mascara

I admit that I don't hold back when it comes to reviewing mascaras, but you won't hear me completely diss a product like I will this one. This is a classic example how deceiving appearance can be. It has a plastic wand with rather sparse bristles, which they describe as cup-shaped, so based on my experience I would say this would be a classic defining and lengthening mascara. Wrong! It's horrible. It's thick and heavy, it sticks the lashes together and just makes them look awful, pilled with a ton of product, so of course it also makes the lashes drop like crazy (my pet hate). I know I will sound presumptuous when I say that a great majority of mascaras look ok on my lashes, but this is the worst mascara I tried. I've had it for a couple of months now and I give it a try every week or so, to see if it's improved like most mascaras do, but it hasn't. It's still bad. Buy their Sensational mascara, or any really instead. Maybelline does great mascaras, Sensational WP is in my top three, but this is a fail.

A proper winner, am I right? 

*GARNIER Biophase Micellar Cleansing Water in Oil

I really, really wanted to try this because I read a great review about it, so I was overjoyed when I got it. So far I'm impressed and I like it more than their regular micellar water. I read in that review that despite being a type of a dual-phase remover, it's not greasy - it really isn't. In the ingredients there is a lot of argan oil (love that they don't brag about it on the bottle), but also a lot of silicones and the latter leave the skin super smooth and soft after use, which I love. In terms of effectiveness it removes makeup really well, though I had to struggle with my heavy coats of waterproof mascara and it's just not as effective as proper duo-phase waterproof remover, however, it's still a lot more effective than their regular micellar water. So far it hasn't broken me out (the silicone coat on the skin could be a problem), but we'll see in time and it's not at all drying. It has an absolutely gorgeous scent that reminds me of L'Occitane's Peony line, it's just a bit more citrusy. I have to say I'm impressed and I find it superior to other drugstore micellar waters.

*BATISTE Dry Shampoo

Cherry

I just got this send by Ličila.si, but I already have the mini version that I reviewed a couple of months ago. The packaging is slightly different and instead of cherries there are lips on stems. I like Batiste, but you may know that my hair is actually very dry, so dry shampoos are to me like a fragrance/refresher/volumiser instead of a proper degreaser, since my hair is almost never greasy. This is so far my favourite scent of Batiste (I've tried Tropical and Wild) and though I expected it to smell like cherry sweets, it's actually a proper floral scent - very fresh and feminine. It is one of those shampoos that feels most powdery, hence why I assume it's probably the best choice for sorting out oily hair. It's not too white on my dark hair and whatever is there, I simply brush it out.

*MILANI Conceal + Perfect 2-in-1 Foundation + Concealer

01 Creamy Vanilla

I heard this has an overwhelming positive feedback on social media and blogs, however, when I checked reviews on Makeup Alley, the overall rating is average. I was sent this and there were strong concerns the shade will be wrong for me. Well, it really could not be more wrong. And yet, this is one of the best looking foundation on the skin, I've ever found. It's very thick, so you need to work fast, but it's medium-high coverage and it looks so good on the skin. I actually got compliments despite the wrong colour (which is very wrong for me). It's high coverage, yet it doesn't look like a mask, it doesn't sink or emphasise pores, it doesn't even emphasise my two annoying smile lines by my lips, which aren't visible without foundation, but almost every foundation so far makes them visible from space. It wear soo well, seriously, at the end of the day there is zero patchiness, clumpiness or anything, so it's far superior in that respect to Revlon's Colorstay or even Nars Sheer Glow. I feel sad that there isn't a match in this line as even the lightest shade is dark and very, very yellow/orange (not even mixing really works). Such a shame. If you have a medium skin tone and have normal-combination-oily skin, this one is worth a try.

Milani make more very fair shades soon!

*MOOYA Bio Organic Treatment Mask + Serum

Sheet masks are all the rage and I got a chance to try some new ones that I've never heard about before, but I checked the ingredient and they looked really good. When I got them, the seriously made me laugh so hard because they take sheet masks to another level and you end up like a mummy. It's a mask that also has a part that goes on you neck and it can tuck it behind the ear. It's very saturated with product and it has a gentle clean scent, but when it's on the face it's not noticeable at all. It's a nice, comfortable mask to wear one the face, similar to Missha's, the only thing that I might complain is the size of holes for eyes, but it's not that terrible and you can just cut them. Included is also a serum that they advise you use at most 10 minutes after the treatment with a sheet mask, but there is a lot of serum, so you can use it on later days as well. The serum is a thicker gel and it is a bit sticky on the skin. Serums are the same in both masks.

Antioxidant Green Tea

I tried this one first. It's meant for every skin type, but especially for mature, oily and combination skin. It has antioxidant properties, is antibacterial, protects against dryness, helps with acne and irritation, reduces wrinkled and keeps oiliness in check. Ingredients confirm most of these (maybe just not reduces wrinkles, maybe just prevents them as it contains hyaluronic acid), it's definitely good for acne prone skin due to high content of witch hazel.  

Ingredients.

Exfoliator Aha Fruit Acids

I really wanted to try thing one because good AHA treatments are rare. It's the same thing as in the Antioxidant packet, it even feels the same on the skin, there's no stinging or tingling, but my skin isn't sensitive at all, so that's why I didn't feel anything, but it could also mean it's a good AHA for sensitive skin as well. My skin looked brighter after use and considerably softer.

*INTELLIGENT SKIN THERAPY Oxygen

This is already a more classic sheet mask, but it's a lot thinner than others I've tried, so much in fact, it's actually almost completely see-though on the face. The fabric is actually made out of banana fibres and this mask is meant for skin with blackheads and eczema, plus it's also an anti-inflammatory. I feel that after using this one, my current chin breakout reduced in size as well as started fading faster, but it happened a few days later and as far as immediate result go, I only noticed that my skin felt more moisturised.

*CABANA SUN Monoi Tahiti Oil Spray SPF 15

Well, Slovene's have Afrodita's Marmelada and others have similar products as well, like this one, except this one at least contains some sun protection. It contains tyrosine, which supposedly helps you tan faster. Now, you know I'm a shade girl and I don't' tan, so I won't be giving this a go (SPF 30 + or more), but I can tell you at least what it's like. It's an oil that is slightly tinted red and this actually gives my skin the tiniest hint of colour. It's an oil that doesn't sink in fast, so you're quite greasy, but if you're lying on the beach, maybe that's not such an issue to some. It of course give that glow /sheen to the skin. The scent is interesting as it's a summer scent, but not like other sunscreen I've tried. It's less sweet, less coconut, but undeniably tropical.

This is a nail hardener that's apparently popular in the C2C office, so I got send one as well. I often say, my nails are very hard, they never break, so unfortunately I won't be able to test it, but I'll give to someone else to try and report back to me. I used it once as a base and it's a simple clear nail polish. I hear it's good, so if you have weak nails, it's one to consider looking into.

*BEAUTY & CHIC Clean Brush Cleanser

The only brush cleaner I had before was from Essence, which was ok, but not the most impressive thing. However, this one is already a lot better. It actually cleans the brushes well, something I didn't expect, I mean the white ones are still a bit darker than if you properly washed them, but they're in a pretty good condition. It even tackles foundation brushes really well. It dries much faster than Essences as well, a few minutes maybe and you can use it again. It has a strong scent of chamomile, I naturally love it and I love my brushes smelling nice, but those sensitive to fragrance, don't say didn't warn you about it. It think it's pretty damn good and I can already see it supporting my laziness, since I know I'll properly wash my brushes even less now. And the bottle is 100 ml instead of Essence's 50 ml.

*MISSLYN Summer Pop Art LE

I already reviewed this eye-catching collection here and it's already available in Müller, so hurry if you want a piece or two. I got all the Pop it Up Gel Eyeliner & Eyeshadows (01 (Black), 15 (blue) and 22 (green)), which are fantastic quality, the Barbie pink blush 08 You Make me Blush, a very pigmented Pop it Up Bronzing & Contouring Powder in Hi From Hawaii (should be nice for medium skin tones) and Pop it Up lipstick in Pow! Wow!, which is an orange red. Everything is swatched in the review.

4.99 - 5.99€ in Müller.

ESSENCE Blogger's Beauty Secrets LE

I dawdled whether I should even include these because they aren't meant for review and the post is long enough as it is, but sod it. Ever wondered how testers arrive to shops? Well here there are - rather plain, right? I was gifted this because they had one to many, so I basically got almost the whole collection. I can't say I paid much attention to it before, but it's a collection made in collaboration with four bloggers and each got to design her own palette plus a nail polish. I haven't tried these much yet, I swatched everything and wore one look with it, but it's typical Essence quality - some things are good and some not that much. I don't know if I feel like doing a proper review about these, but they will be a part of the permanent selection soon.

the glow must go on bronzing and highlighting palette by Serena 

The bronzer is quite shimmery/glowy and quite pigmented, but a bit too dark-odd tone for me. The eyeshadows are quite pigmented, that highlighter is a bit too white and with a gold tone. 

shape & shadows eye contouring palette by Mary

Nice selection of colours for bothe eyes and eyebrows, but the pigmentation is not that good.

touch up to go! one-for-all palette by Diana zur Löwen

A combination of two blushes, which are a bit powdery, but nicely pigmented, three eyeshadows with not the best pigmentation and a clear gloss, which I wonder why it's even here.

vintage rose eye palette by Palmira

A very mixed quality of eyeshadows, white is chalky, the violets are more on the sheer side, but bottom row is considerably better and that highlighter has a "Mac vanilla" like almost duo chrome pink-gold tone. I haven't tried the gel eyeliner.

CATRICE LE Sound of Silence

Pen Stroke Eyeshadow C01 Calm Down' n' MAUVE On & Lipstick C01 Golden Spirit

Again a collection I didn't pay attention to, but Petra adores the bronze highlighter drops in this collection. She did a review of a different shade of the cream eyeshadow and of the same lipstick, so go check it out if you're interested. The eyeshadow is lovely, better than their Stylos because it's not shimmery, but it's again nicely creamy, blends and lasts well. The shade though is a lipstick shade and not that good for the eyelids. The lipstick is just whatever - sheer with gold shimmer. Why even bother.

YANKEE CANDLE Garden Sweet Pea

I got this as a gift, but it actually is one of the rare scents I really like from Yankee and I did plan to try it at least once. The scent is surprisingly sweet and fruity, cute and girly.

Müller, 2 €

I talked about the January box just this month and that one was not one of my favourites, but they certainly stepped up the game with this one. In honour of the Valentine's Day month, they created a box with seductive reds and pinks along with romantic scents of roses. This box again contains five products: a full size lip gloss by Tanya Burr in Vampire Kiss, a full size nail polish by Revlon in Bewitching, a sample size of Weleda's Wild Rose Creamy Body Wash, a travel size Batiste Dry Shampoo in Cherry and CMD Naturarkosmetik Rose Exclusive Pflegemaske. 

Shades of Tanya's lip glosses in boxes differ as do of Revlon's nail polishes and versions of Batiste dry shampoo. Lip glosses in the boxes are Daydream, Enchanted Forest, Berry Picking, Exotic Island and Vampire Kiss. Shades of Revlon nail polishes are Pink Nude, Bewitching, Vixen and Plum Seduction. Batiste dry shampoos come in different versions too, I've seen Blush in one of them, but the picture also shows Original and Tropic.

The box costs 12 € + shipping here.

TANYA BURR Lip Gloss

Vampire Kiss

I think this is actually already discontinued and the whole brand went through an overhaul, so won't do my usual proper review because it's a waste of my time. I checked Feel Unique and this shade definitely isn't sold there any more, though some of the new lip glosses still have the same names. I actually already bought two of these a couple of years ago, but they weren't for me, regardless I think my friend didn't like them very much. I'm not a fan of lip glosses in general, but these are really not my cup of tea.

The texture is incredibly thick, though not sticky, and the thickness does help in the longevity department, however, it bleeds. The latter shouldn't be a biggie at light shades. The finish is glossy, but not completely like a mirror shine as at for example Dior's Fluid Sticks. These glosses smell like Fru Fru sweets, the strawberry version in particular. The packaging is nothing special, very basic as is the applicator, which is a flat medium-sized doe foot. They aren't bad, but I'm not blown away by it.

Vampire Kiss is a deeper more cool red, a very simple shade that isn't quite opaque, but close.

REVLON Nail Polish

620 Bewitching

A deep cool red shade with a hint of purple. I've done a separated review about it here.

BATISTE Dry Shampoo

Cherry

I'm a fan of Batiste, but I don't actually care how well dry shampoos perform in terms of absorbing oil, since my hair is never greasy. All I care about is the fragrance and volume. This one smells like cherry blossoms, which surprised me greatly. I always assumed it smells like sickly sweet like cherry candy, but this one's scent is a floral version. Maybe they should call it cherry blossom instead. It's fresh, floral and feminine - I like it! It my favourite Batiste so far. It is one of those shampoos that feels most powdery, hence why I assume it's probably the best choice for sorting out oily hair. It's not too white on my dark hair and whatever is there, I simply brush it out. 

I have the Wild version as well and that scent is very heavy oriental, more appropriate for cold months. I also used to have the Tropical version, which smells like coconut.

WELEDA Wilrosen Verwőhn-Cremedusche

I'll start by saying that I absolutely abhor rose scent. Those granny rose ones that is, not the real scent of roses that grow in the garden, but I've never found a product that would smell like the real deal. This creamy shower gel had the awful granny version when I opened it, so naturally I had a hard time convincing myself to use it, but I did nonetheless. Under a shower it a different, less rosy scent and it reminds me a lot of a face wash I used as a teenager, it was Dr. Scheller Zitronenmelisse Waschgel if anyone remembers it. Basically it's a more citrusy herbal scent. The texture is like a lotion, thick, but runny and it doesn't foam much, but it does feel nice for dry skin.

CMD Naturarkosmetik Rose Exclusive Pflegemaske

Yet another product with the awful rose scent. I've never heard of this brand, nor do I know where to buy it, but it's a nourishing face mask for dry skin that you apply instead of a moisturiser in a thick layer and you can go to bed with it. The ingredients are lovely, it's clearly a very nourishing blend of almond, avocado, olive and rosehip seed oil, as well as shea butter. It's a medium consistency, so not terribly thick and it's easy to apply. My skin isn't dry this winter, but it felt nice on my skin. I don't have any dry patches, so I could see if this heals them, but I assume it would. It's 100% vegan.

Have a great day!
