Literal Junk

some extremely old stuff that has been laying around for years, bought when i was a lot younger. lots of no-names and products that are so old that they fall apart. should've gone straight to the garbage, but i snapped a few pics.

makeup

Some ruby rose palettes that have turned to dust, a few cheap eyeshadows, old unwashable makeup sponges, avon, pink republic and no-name eye pencils, and a cute little no-name makeup pallette that looks like a tiny purse.

body, face & hair products

A few empty romanian brand creams, a deodorant and other empty creams and bath stuff. 

Nail polishes

All dried out and ready to hit the garbage bin. Some yves rocher, essence, s-he, avon and maybelline, others are chinese no-names.

In the bag
This is how they looked before being thrown out, the bag was full and quite heavy, i'm proud of having made a little bit of cleaning up. Bye-bye, old junk!

Haul number 3

It seems that my trips to Hungary are starting to become more and more frequent. But that's good, because this time I've bought some amazing stuff. The product I'm most impressed with is the lip lacquer, maybe because I bought it at half price, not expecting anything special. The problem is that it was the very last shade from a limited edition batch. I couldn't find a lip laquer of the same colour, i even searched through manhattan's rimmel equivalent, the apocalips. I'm sad because it's the most amazing lip product i've ever owned and it will run out eventually :( but the search continues!


1. garnier mineral action control antiperspirant
2. garnier skin naturals pure face wash
3. manhattan lip lacquer 003 flaming lips

Another Tiny Haul

After another trip to Hungary, it was inevitable for me not to buy some new beauty stuff 
 I haven't tried the new shampoo and conditioner yet, I am going to give them a try today, but my hopes aren't too high. The highlight of this haul is the Manhattan Supersize false lash look mascara, I have a small review for it below.

1. Schwarzkopf Gliss Kur Hair Repair Million Gloss Shampoo
2.  Schwarzkopf Gliss Kur Hair Repair Million Gloss Conditioner
3. Manhattan Supersize False Lash Look Mascara



Manhattan Supersize False Lash Look Mascara

I entered DM looking for a mascara with a pretty packaging, as haven't really cared about their performance until now. I have naturally long and noticeable lashes, so I thought that I really could care less about the actuall effect of a mascara. Turns out I was wrong, cause I happened to buy this one and it's GREAT! It really makes my lashes look like fake ones and gives them a great shape.

Tiny Haul

In my defense, I recently had to throw away a miss sporty bb cream that had gone bad 2 months after buying it. So i bought another miss sporty product, plus some other stuff. P10P's still up, i'm working on it, but it seems that i can't go without buying stuff, but hey, at least i have something to write about.


1. farmec (romanian brand) nail polish
My best friend had an identical one, and i really liked the subtle, soft colour it gave to my nails, so i had to buy one for myself. As always.

2. miss sporty tan up your world bronzing powder the hawaiian collection
I was in DM in Hungary and this was discounted at half the original price and it was THE LAST ONE. It was also the lighter shade (010) which i usually use, so i can say that it was left there specially for me.

3. dove summer glow nourishing lotion with subtle gradual self-tanner
Found this in Rossmann, didn't get the "right" shade this time (light to medium would've been the one for me, and this is medium to dark) but at least i'll tan properly with it and i won't have to apply it one hundred times to achieve a noticeable colour. It's already working after one use.

4. schwarzkopf schauma cotton fresh dry shampoo
I ran out of my old balea dry shampoo and i bought this one. i really like the packaging, and the performance is probably the same, if not better than the old one's.

Haul

Despite being faithful to my p10p and confident that i won't but anything new, i (kind of) did what i said i wouldn't. I bought four new products. The make-up remover wipes don't count, as they are a daily necessity, but the others are more or less beauty products. To be honest, the only item i think i really fucked up my p10p with is the hand cream, but i couldn't help it, i saw an empty bottle used by my boyfriend's mom and i really liked it, so i bought one myself. The nail-biting polish and the makeup setting spray are kinda borderline, aren't they? Whatever, at least i can now keep track of what i buy.

1. e.l.f make-up mist & set
A friend told me about the e.l.f. site, where you can buy cheap and uality makeup, so i visited it ans found exactly what i needed: a makeup setting spray. of course i bought it the same day/

2. pastel unisex no-bite solution
This was actually bought by my mom while i was at my boyfriend's, but she called me from the store and asked if i needed it. i said yes, but i really needed it, because i have a habit of biting my nails when i'm under conditions of stress.
3. farmasi make-up remover wipes
Simply bought these because i ran out of my old ones, i like the packaging better than the actual wipes.

4. yoghurt of bulgaria sensitive probiotic renewal hand cream
HAD to run and search for this after seeing an empty tube at someone's place. I think im gonna end up buying several products from this line, as they are AMAZING. bulgarian yoghurt proteins and rose oil, they are famous for their actions on the skin. And the packaging is very, very attractive.
