Rossmann and DM Drugstore Haul

Hey guys,

last week I went to Rossmann and DM (German drugstores) and I have bought some goodies. I got two shower-gels from special winter editions and I can't wait to use them. They both smell nice and the price was low. (79ct for dusch das and 45 ct for Isana shower gel)

In Rossmann I also found  very cool and practical toolkit, where you get two tools and a bag of 100 rivets (in 3 colours) for your creative projects. And the price...OMG 3,99€. I have seen similar single tool cost 8 € and up  already, so I am extremely excited for this awesome set!

At the DM I got Balea Hairspray (0,85€/300ml),because as in the last post mentioned I finished my Garnier Fructis hairspray and I wanted to try out Balea products for my hair. I also couldn't resist to Balea Dry Shampoo (2,25€/200ml), cause my last dry shampoo from isana I emptied a month ago (more about it check out my October empties post ). I read so many good reviews on this Balea Hair Balm (0,65€/300ml) so I just want to try it out and see how I like it. As I almost finished my nail polish remover from Isana and was already in DM, so I grabbed ebelin Nail Polish Remover (0,45€/125ml). I will most definetly write about these products and how I liked them in my future posts, so stay tuned!

Happy first week of Advent!

November Empties 2013 Product Reviews

Hey chickas,
I love how I manage still to upload min 1 post per month! Yuhoo !!! Just kidding. I know that I don't post very often, sorry for that. I am happy to be here again and write this post as a reminder to myself, what I allready used up and maybe will inspire you to use more of the products you have at home and not to buy new cosmetics. Just use it all up till the last bit. It helps me to think longer before buying the product, cause I know how hard it is to really empty and get all moneys worth of it. So let's check out my latest product reviews of the November.

                                                                                                                                                                  
GARNIER FRUCTIS STYLE Hairspray, 250 ml
Pros:

• with bamboo extract
• 24-hour bounce-back hold
• Creates an instant barrier against frizz
• Gives your hair shine and smoothness
• Price 0,95 € (at DM)

Cons:

• dried out my hair 

It is a nice product and does all, what it should do. I did not use this hairspray very often, but every time I used it, it dried my hair and at the end of the day I felt that I need to wash out the product out of my hair. On the other hand, it is budget friendly. I will buy it again (not anytime soon) and I recommend it, if you are looking for cheap but good product.

Evaluation:6/10
                                                                                                                                                                   
 Isana Hair Shampoo, 400 ml
Pros:

•  Price 0,65 € ( I bought on sale 0,45€)
• Amount

Cons:

• Terrible for your hair 
• Doesn't do anything good for your hair

I bought this shampoo, cause I thought that it will be moisturising for my hair ( it seems from the packaging, that it is made for blond hair that needs special care), but after the first use I was more than dissapointed. It was just terrible for my hair and eventhought I used good moisturising masks after the washing, I barely could comb my hair through. I will never buy this product again and I don't recommend it.
 
Evaluation:1/10
                                                                                                                                                                   
essence multi colour blush (20 fashionista), 5 g
Pros:

• Adorable blush
• nice colour
• good pigmentation
• price 0,95 € sale 
• 5 stripes of matching pink tones (from highlighter to dark bronzer) 

Cons:

• not in the sortiment anymore

I really enjoyed this blush. This colour matched my skintone perfectly and I used it also as an eyeshadow. I am sad that I emptied this product, but now  I can open the similar blush I got on the same sale just a little bit peachier. I recomment essence blushes, cause they are affordable and pigmented. This blush is not available anymore. The last bits of the blush I'm going to use as an eyeshadow.
 
Evaluation:8/10

Pros:

• pleasing summery coconut scent
• creamy consistency
• price 0,65€ ( I got it on 0,45 € sale)

Cons:

• none

I  liked this product, and I enjoyed it. I recommend it

Evaluation:8/10
                                                                                                                                                                    essence multi action mascara, 9 ml
Pros:

• lengthens, curls, separates your lashes
• price 2,45 €
• best product of the year reward

Cons:

•  none 

I enjoyed the product and I recommend it. The maximal quality mascara for a minimal price.
 
Evaluation:/10
                                                                                                                                                                   
essence eye pencil from LE „50’s girls reloaded” (02 I’m a marine girl), 1,4 g
Pros:

• soft, but not too soft
• nice dark blue colour
• awesome pigmentation
• also was a nice eyeshadow base 
• price 0, 99€ 

Cons:

• not available anymore

It was one awesome kajal pencil, sadly it was in limited collection and not available anymore.  Evaluation:9/10

Stuff, I (didn't enjoyed/was old) threw out:

                                                                                                                                                                    essence lipgloss from xxl nudes, (02 light candy), 5 ml
I didnt liked this product-it was smelling funny and the colour and the shine of it looked on me just terrible. It was also sticky and I got it for cheap so I decided to say bye-bye to this product. I have other lip products that I enjoy using, so it's no biggie.
                                                                                                                                                                  
essence clear & matt make up (01 porcelain), 30 ml
I don't use cream powder very often, I prefer BB Cream over this  product, so thats why it was just taking space in my bathroom cabinet. I got it in 0,95 ct sale ,just in case I needed a cream powder. Eventhough it is the lightest shade, it still looked unnatural and somehow couple shades darker on my skin.  It is not available in stores anymore.
                                                                                                                                                                  
Maybelline MNY Eyeshadows in Black and White
Frosty white and black eyeshadows that are nothing special and hard to work with. I decided to throw those away, cause I bought them yeaaaaars ago and never really used, nor enjoyed them. Price each around 1 €.

 I can't wait to hear your thoughts on September Empties!

Take care
