Little drugstore Haul

If you read my April Favorites you know, that i didn't entered a drugstore in like ages. I did feel a strong urge to go and purchase some bibs and bobs to try out new things. So i did and here are the things i bought.

For the summertime i wanted something with more coverage than a BB Cream, but not so much coverage as the foundations i own. So i was looking for a light coverage foundation, which feels light on the skin and isn't too drying. The Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation seemed like the right choice for me. I picked it up in the colour 03 Shell, which is a bit too light for me, cause my tan is like...dark.
Another thing from Revlon and for the summertime is the Revlon Cremeblush in 300 Coral Reef. I never tried cremeblush before...i know, what a shame. So i thought i'll try it. Last item from Revlon is the Colorburst Laquer Balm in 110 Coquette, which is a unusual colour for me (normally i don't buy pinks). One thing i am already put off by is the chunks of glitter in it. You only see them when it's applied on your lips, but it doesn't look good.
My hair is getting a bit dry at the ends and the sun (which is shining like crazy) does the rest. So i picked up the L'oreal Hair Expertise Total Repair 5 Hairmask. We'll see how i like it.
Next and the last purchased item is the Nivea Smooth Replenishing Bodylotion, cause my skin is getting hell a lot dry after bathing in the sun the whole day.
You'll probably read further about these products this months, so stay tuned for that.

A little Haulin here and there

Going through the isles of the drugstore is very relaxing for me. Swatching here and there and sometimes finding products you didn't expect to find. So this time i did a little bit of damage at the drugstore, The Body Shop and at the Clinique counter.

Essie Nailpolish in "Dress to kilt" , "After School Boy Blazer" , "Find me an oasis"
In Germany we had those nailpolishes in limited editions and i wasn't able to pick those colours up, because they were sold out so quickly. When i found them, i was tempted to do a victory dance (i just did it in my head). I don't know if the people in Canada had those nailpolishes in a limited edition before or if they are new. Nevertheless if you were searching for "After School Boy Blazer" (a nice dark blue colour) or "Find me an oasis" (a light blue colour with a little grey hint) you can find them in the new limited edition from essie.

The Balm "The Nude tude" Palette (here)

I wanted this palette for a long time and i was surprised when i found it at my local drugstore. But it went straight into my basket. It as very nice nude and brown shades plus a black and a burgundy red colour. There are matte and shimmery/glittery eyeshadows. Moreover i adore the design of the palette and especially the cute names of the eyeshadows.

Real Techniques "miracle complexion sponge" (here)

I love Makeup Sponges and i left mine at home so i desperatly wanted a new one. I don't want to buy the original Beauty Blender, because there are so many good dupes out there. Like this one from Real Techniques or for the german readers the "ebelin Makeup Ei". Although the shape of the Real Techniques Sponge is a bit different, because it has a flat side.

Clinique "Moisture Surge" (here)
I started to get little lines on my forehead caused my a lack of moisture, so i was looking for a rich moisturizer. In the end i picked up this moisturizer from Clinique. It has a gel like texture and is supposed to sink very quickly into the skin. I will test it for a few weeks and will let you know, what i think about it.


The Body Shop "Seaweed Iconic Clay Mask" (here)

Originially i wanted to buy the Origins "Clear Improvement" Mask, but it was not available. So i was happy to find this Clay mask at The Body Shop. It is supposed to purifie and cleanse your face and for those with combination or oily skin it also should remove excess oil.

The Body Shop "Vitamin E Moisture Serum" (here)
 I wanted a serum to help to solve my lack of moisture problem like i mentioned before and i waned to buy the "Vitamin E Serum-in-oil" but it wasn't included in the Buy 1 get 1 50% of they had so i decided to go for this one. You put this one your face first and then put the moisturizer on top and it should help to moisturize your skin.

Take out the Glitter, it's Christmas time

When it comes to the festive time of the year i am all for the glitter nailpolishes. Sometimes i am also wearing them for normal everyday occasions, but this time of the year nobody will look at you like you're a bit crazy.

The new essie christmas limited edition caught my eye, when i was walking throw the drugstore and it was hard not to get every shade they had. So i went for this little pretty one.

These are medium sized glitters in a bronzy gold. I don't like silver glitter so much and gold can look sometimes a little bit too much, so this was the right shade of glitter.

I like to use the Loreal Colour Exclusive nailpolish in "Blake's red", which is a nice dark berry shade underneath. You can put one layer of glitter on top of your nailpolish, just do the one-nail-thing or create an ombre glitter effect (honestly that's my favorite way).

If you are looking for a nice glitter shade or you have any other reason to buy this nailpolish (not that you need one), go buy it.
