NEW IN September :)

Hello! It's Autumn! And time for a lot more makeup than during Summer! And as I was just finishing my year at University I had treated myself quite a bit... one more year to go and I am done with studying! :P I thought I had less newbies this month, but it turned out that I have purchased quite a lot of products and if I was sent a lot of goodies last month and was saving money I spent a lot of it this month! Let's check out the newbies!

My friend started making her own homemade DIY natural cosmetics under the name WorldNaturelle and she was so kind to share some with me! I have been pampering with Calendula & Shea kiss lip balm, Reviving Lavander all-in-one body scrub, Rich Lavander body balm and two shower packs, but I photographed here only one as the other one I have already used up - Fresh as a Peppermint herbal shower pack and I love Coconut & Lavander herbal shower pack! These products come in a hand made, recycled packaging, everything is hand written on a recycled paper! All the ingredients, how to use, when it was made... really amazing concept and I hope this will grow into a serious business. I love the idea, the packaging, the ingredients and most importantly - the products themselves! I love the body scrub as it can be used as a body scrub, as a bath salt and also as a shower product, but it's a bit different than any other shower gel you will ever try. The shower packs are for one time use only and they are really interesting as you kind of make a tea first, than add a mix of oils and butters and mix all together in a big jar and simply pour it all over you once under shower...  Holy grail products from the bunch for me are the lip balm and body balm - they smell amazing, have really good textures, sink well into the skin, nourish it! Especially the Lavander body balm! Amazing stuff! If you are UK - London based you can contact her and try out some products for yourself! In the meantime you can go and check her blog WorldNaturelle and how she does her homemade cosmetics! A full review of these products will come in a separate post! :)

This trio speaks for itself, doesn't it? There is nothing better than investing into a good shower gel product especially if you can get it for a reasonable price. I have bought Weleda Citrus Erfrischungsdusche, Wildrose Werohndusche and Lavandel Enstpannungsdusche at my local DM store as they had discounts this past week 1+1... I have two Citrus shower lotions but for the sake of a more beautiful photo I only showed you one. So far I have only tested a drop of the Citrus one and it's a pretty creamy texture, more a lotion than gel, comes in a milky white coloring and has a lovely lemony scent, very fresh! As for the other two I am not sure, as I have not tested them yet... Anyway, the deal was too good to pass and I have already been recommended these shower lotions, especially the Lavander one.

 Some more spending time at DM. If you read my last months new in, you know I have been very impressed with Borotalco Original Deo roll on, and as with the Weleda products these were also 1+1 and I made a stock of these as well! As I don't need to reapply it so many times during the day as other deodorants I believe these will last me a very long time! And some of you may know I am a big coconut lover, everything coconut wins for me - products, cosmetics, food... anything really. Except Malibu or even worse - malibu-cola combination. Anyway, I wanted to try this Vanille&Cocos shower gel by Balea and I must say it is more vanilla than coconut scented and the scent is well, very gentle. It's a decent product but nothing impressive. As for the other shower gel,  Hibiskus& Nektarine, I can not say yet, as I have not tried it yet, but from the packaging it's got a nice juicy scent.

A mix of beauty products - I have received Aussie  3 Minute miracle shine deep treatment as a gift at Aussie event this month :) I am already testing the 3 Minute reconstructor, but this one will have to wait a bit. So far I am liking the reconstructor, but will see how the rest of the Aussie products will work for me. I will not post a separate post about the event, but I will probably talk about it alongside with the review, but you can check some other Slovenian bloggers and what they wrote about the event (Tatjana, Ana). Next to it is Himalaya Herbals Multipurpose cream I simply wanted to see if it will help me heal my scars faster as I had scratched my acne really badly and left huge scars on my jaw line. It didn't impress me, it's an ok cream , but nothing special so far, will see if it will work on me at all or not. It does have a very strong perfumed scent, which I must say I find too strong and makes me dislake the product even more.  From Kozmetika Afrodita I have wanted to try some face masks so I treated myself with Why Mask Fresh & Well-rested look, a new eye mask, that you leave to sink in and actually helps a bit, but will have to test it some more, plus  Why Mask SOS Calming, which I have not tested yet, but wanted to see how it works and well if it smells of lavander or not :P

For face I needed to restock on foundations and lucky me (NOT!), the Bourjois foundation Flower Perfection is being discontinued! So I bought two bottles while I still could, as this is one of my all time favourites! You can read more about it here, in my Guide through Bourjois foundations :) As I have invested some more into foundations, I feel like I made enough of a stock to last me a whole year! :D I bought secondhand L'Oreal Paris Infallible 24h-Matte mattifying foundation in shade 11 Vanilla. I have been testing it a bit, a couple of times per week and it seems ok, but it really depends what I apply under it. If I use a mattifying primer it works best and really lasts longer, makes me look matte a bit longer. Otherwise, it's just another foundation and it didn't impress me yet. The coverage could be better, at least on me, but with craters (very large pores) like mine you can not expect miracles. Maybe I don't apply enough of it to make it more covering but I prefer to keep it that way. I am still on the fence about this one, we shall see when I test it some more. I have traded something of mine for Dermacol Filmstudio  Barrandov Prague Make-up Cover in shade 207. I must say I expected even more coverage, as everyone has been promising it to me, but this did not deliver as I imagined. I guess I had high expectations. Also, it tends to look pink on my skin and doesn't match my other foundations or concealers so it needs to be applied first than covered up with my usual makeup. It does perform well with my spots and such, but not so much with my dark under-eye area. Still, need to test it some more before I can give a full review, hope it will perform better in the future. And two Catrice products from the latest range update! I finally got Prime and Fine Professional Contouring palette in 010 Ashy Radiance and Liquid Camouflage High Coverage Concealer in 010 Porcellain. Both products I have only had the time to try once until now, and both seem very promising, so far first impressions have been good. Easy to use, apply, do the job very well and all in all I am very much looking forward to testing these out some more :)

If you are reading this blog only half frequently you know I am a huge fan of everything lips related and so here are new lip balms! I have repurchased another Labello Pure&Natural Olive &Lemon, as this one is being discontinued as well... So I have made a bit of a stash as this one is a really good lip balm! From the new ones I have gotten myself Care &Colour Nude caring lip balm and I must say I don't like it, especially the nude shade as it's simply too light for me and sinks into any possible pore or crack I have on my lips and doesn't look good at all. It's also a bit less nourishig and therefore more like a Maybelline Baby lips balm, but with more pigmentation, that sadly just looks awful on me. This shade definitely didn't impress me, but if you have Pink or Red let me know how they seem to you? Also traded some products for the last two lip products - I have now Le Couvent Des Minimes Orange Blossom aroma smile lip balm which really has a lovely orange scent! I have been really liking this, the texture, the feeling on the lips, the nourishing effect and scent all seem really good! The last lip balm I have not tried yet is from the new Dvorec Trebnik dt cosmetics line and it's Strawberry lip balm. Smells really lovely of strawberries, hope it also nourishes well.

And some eyeshadow essentials for fall/winter time :P From my trade with a fellow blogger I have now new KIKO Makeup Milano treats - from the lovely limited edition Rebel Romatic I have Reckless Spirit Eyeshadow palette in shade 02 Fiery rose, Colour Definition eyeliner and kajal in shade 03 Warrior Violet and  Liquid Intense Eyeliner in shade 02 Purple. I Have already had the time to test these goodies at leats once and they are pretty amazing, really loving the smoothness of the eyeshadows and also the liquid eyeliner that may seem  darker from afar. Lovely romantic rosy-violet-y shades, perfect for fall. Also got Oriflame  The ONE 5-in-1 Wonderlash mascara waterproof in the package but haven't gotten the chance to try it yet. But many Oriflame mascaras have impressed me  and I hope this one will work for me too. One of the best mascaras are made by MaxFactor (and L'oreal, if you ask me) and so of course I couldn't pass a chance at trying out this Masterpiece Glamour Extensions 3-in-1 Volumising mascara. Haven't tried it yet, but I have high hopes for it as I previously had some really good experiences with their mascaras. And the last beauty on the photo is Makeup Revolution London 32 eyeshadow palette Affirmation! Whole summer all I wanted was to get my hands on Mermaids forever and than colder weather started and fall was coming and I was like... hmm what about something more suitable for fall/winter time.. and here I am, finally with a new big eyeshadow palette that is really affordable and the shades are simply gorgeous! From everyday looks to smokey evening looks, you can create almost anything with these... I am in love!

Oh yes, have I already told you I love lipsticks, lipglosses and such? :D Here's a big bunch of products I have received as gifts and the ones I bought myself :) Let's start with Essence! From their limited edition Happy Girls Are Pretty I have sheer lipbalm in shade 02 Live, laugh, love and repeat which is really amazing as it's more pigmented than expected and gives a lovely shade. I have already posted a full review here :) The second is their new liquid lipstick in shade 06 make a statement. A lovely shade, perfect for fall, I hope I will be able to post about it soon! Have only tried it once so far and seems promising, light texture, gives very glossy finish. After a very long time I have again an Alverde lipstick in shade 28 Deep Violet. A very deep berry, violet-y shade which is perfect for fall, but the lipstick feels a bit dry when applying, so will have to test it out some more, first impression is not that great, still the shade is amazing! And it also has a very strong scent, very sweet one! From Revlon I have received as a gift a new Ultra HD lipstick in shade 830 HD Rose. I have already reviewed shade Petunia, but I have some mixed feelings about this range. Rose shade didn't impress me at first two applications, really didn't sit well on my lips, but the third try was better as my lips were really spotless and well pampered before. Maybe it was just that and I will fall in love with the Rose shade soon, will test some more but I will not be making a separate review for this shade as well. From Bottega Verde comes my first ever product by them, and it's not a skincare product as I thought it would be but a make-up product! I have treated myself with Intense moisturising lipstick with Red grape extract and Hyaluronic acid in shade Canella. There are total twelve shades (on Italian BV site) but this one seemed most wearable to me. I have never ever been in the shop before or bought anything from the brand myself but I am actually loving this lipstick and may be returning for some more goodies. I love the shade of the packaging and the shape, the texture of this lipstick is amazing, glides on well and really moisturizes, the shade is a more brown-ish nude and I personally find it perfect for everyday wear! I have also received two new Deborah Milano lippies, Absolute lasting liquid lipstick in shades 03 and 07. These are truly amazing! One swipe, full coverage, even shade, lasts amazingly and even if you rub of the clear top coat, the shade just sits there and doesn't budge at all! Really amazing stuff, I was expecting a more liquid product that just transfers like a gloss onto anything you eat or drink, but this really lasts. I couldn't even wash my hands after swatching, really needed to rub it off. The last two goodies are from Bourjois and they were 1+1 so I treated myself with Sweet Kiss gloss in shades 04 incogni-rose and 02 Rose qui peut. Loving both shades, especially the Incogni-rose one, perfect fall lip gloss! Feel very light on the lips and well, simply as they should. Anyway, you know I love Bourjois, and  have had some lipglosses from them before so I have high hopes for these two as well.

There's a new brand available in Slovenia, finally we can shop some Golden Rose! Of course I had to go see for myself and I bought two new products - Golden Rose Paris Nail lacquer in shade 97 and Golden Rose Velvet Matte lipstick in shade 20. The nail polish didn't impress me, love the shade, hate the application, but will see after some more testing if there's a trick how to apply it more evenly. The lipstick is gorgeous deep red matte shade, perfect for fall/winter months and I have been loving it! Will write two separate reviews on these products. And some lovely bits that are new this month - H&M necklace, some Ebelin sunglasses that were just too cute, the shape got me and I had to have them. A new hair clip by Ebelin, that can also be a brooch. And some really cozy soft sleep socks by Fascino.

And some more newbies - L'Oreal Paris Elseve Fibrology shampoo is a repurchase, have already spoken about it on my blog. Also wanted to see if S-he cosmetics still do some good products so I got Mineral loose powder in shade 001 Ivory. Haven't tested yet, but will see, it only cost me something over 1 euro, so if it doesn't work for me I won't be too sad. I will be however very sad if Bourjois Air Mat undetectable matte finish foundation in shade 01 Rose Ivory won't work for me. I have really wanted to try this and it's finally available in Slovenia. Had some tough time choosing between the lightest two shades, they were so similar under fake shop lights so I can only hope I chose the right shade and that it will fit me. Just got it, so I have no first impressions for you yet.  From Balea I already have Golden Glamour hand lotion and now I will also be pampering with bath salt, can't wait! And some new goodies from Catrice that I have received - Beautifying lip smoother in shade 040 Coffee to go and from their latest limited edition Fallosophy new Nail lacquer in shade C05 Morning Dew and two lipsticks Soft Lip colour C02 Rustic Rose and C03 Little Red Riding Hood. I believe I have enough new lipsticks for ages to come and you will be sick of reading only lipstick reviews on my blog, but damn I love them all! As these are all new and I only had time to make a quick snap of them, there are no first impressions yet to share, except that I love the shades, they seem very wearable!

I know, you must think I went crazy, and I admit I did, a bit, but September is month of new products, getting ready for fall, new discounts and such, and I believe it's the month I spend the most on myself and my wishes. Be ready for a lot of new reviews, I will try my best to show them as many as possible in October and November :P And from now on I have a shopping ban, especially for make up, as I really made a big stock of everything and need to use something up, I have nowhere to store the goodies anymore :P Just kidding, there will still be newbies, but only the ones I have already planned to purchase in October. No side shopping and other goodies, need to enjoy what I already have :)

If you would like to read a review of a certain product as soon as possible let me know down in the comments and I will try to make it a priority :)

Thanks for reading!

Love, UniqaPoly
