Huge London Haul

Hi guys! Excuse me for the very long break i had on this blog, but i'm really busy with uni, but here i am again with new posts coming soon!

Last week i went to London for few days just because i was missing London so much. I took the chance to do some shopping while i was there, but i tried to control myself and buy just things i can't get in italy, and i think i did a preatty good job. So here there are all the products i bought and some thoughts about them.

First of all i went to boots, which i love because there are so many interesting things there and as you may know boots doesn't deliver outside the UK. Well i went to boots and i picked up some really good staff...

The first thing i took was the tangle teezer which i heard so many good things about it. I have the purple sparkling one and i AODRE it! Literally it doesn't damage my hair at all, since i bought i'm always brushing my hair (and i feel a bit like rapunzel). For me brushing my hair was a nightmare because i have straight hair but they tangle a lot and when it comes to brushing them i always have tears on my eyes, if know what i mean. Well this brush doesn't hurt at all and it meant to be for all kind of hair and you can use it with dry or wet hai which is great!


Then, always from boots, i picked up two Bourjois trio eyeshadows, Mordore chic and Rose vintage.
Mordore chic contains 3 different shades of browns


Rose Vintage


I can't say a lot about these 2 trio because i hadn't the chance to use them yet, but when i'll try them i'll do a reviws if you want.
I also bought the nail polish remover by Bourjois and i can really sugest it if you are lazy like me when it comes to take off the nail polish. it's quikly and easy.


Moving to nail polish i fell in love with the Revlon FASHONISTA (471)


It's an amazing color but it comes out a little bit darker than in the bottle.

I also bought a set of the Real Technique core collection by Samantha Chapma.
This set is composed by: Buffing brush, Contour brush, Pointed Foundation brush and Detailer brush.


As you can see i used just the Detailer brush which is per fect to correct piples and any mistakes you make with the lipstick.

Then i went to the Origins stand and i bought a new cleanser Checks and Balances, for combination skin.


Well i think i'll write a review on this because i want to make an onest review, but i'm liking it so far.

Last but not least i wanted to try something from Liz Earle powder blush in Blossom 02. I can already tell you that i LOVE this blush and i think i'm going to try more thnigs from this brand.



There isn't much more to say about this product, apart from how lovely it its, so I will let the pictures do the talking. Oh and that I picked mine up from John Lewis for £16.50.

Hope you liked this never ending post ad please let me know any sugestion!
Love, Lucy

Berlin haul

While I was in Berlin I had the chance to buy some skin product which aren't sold in my country. So here it is my skin care, Berliner haul.


I'll start from Origins. These are to masks for combination oily skin, the first one is called Out of truble and It's a simple mask to get rid of imperfections while the other one is called Clear improvement which is one of the origins' best seller


About this product I can say more beacuse I've already used It for a while and I LIKE IT. It's an eyes cream and is called GinZing and It's supose to brighten and depuff. What I like about this cream is the cosistency soft and it actually bright a bit the eyes. Also this product is a best seller and on the website there is written that it won 2010 beauty award. 


Finally I also got this little baby, I've heard so many wonderful things about this product, It's called Super Spot Remover. I dont have a proper acne but I get some pimples here and there on my face so this is the perfect product, the only thing I don't like about this spot remover is the strong scent, but I really racomend It if you have some spot like me.


Then I got this little kit for the oil control. I bought the kit just to try all the 4 items without spending a lot, so after finishing these I'll be sure if the full size worth the price. 


The first 2 products from the kit are Cleanser and Toner. The only thing I can say for now is that they have a nice smell, for others reviews I'd like to finish them first so I'll be able to write a fair review.

 
The last 2 itmes that came with the kit are the Instant matte finish for shiny places and Oil-free moisture lotion with Saw Palmetto & Mint. As I said before I'd like to finish them first to write a fair review but I can already say that I don't like the Instant matte finish at all, It doesn't give a matte finish to the skin.


Last item from origins is a face cleanser called Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief. This one was suggested by Lisa Eldridge in one of her skin care video. It's an extremely gentle, milky lotion cleanser. It quickly removes makeup, dirt, debris and impurities, keeps sensitive or reactive skin calm throughout the cleansing process.


The last item I bought is from Dermalogica, It's a gentle cream exfoliant.  Also this product was suggested by Lisa Eldridge. Unfortunately I haven't tried It yet so I'll let you know after a testing it.

Now comes the fun part, the non beauty pourchases.


As you can see I'm a bit of a Dinosaurs Nerd, but who can say they aren't adorable?! Really, WHO?!

Hope you like this kinda haul (beauty/non beauty) post
And please if you have the chance to try origins let me know what is your favourite product.

Love, Lucy
