Poland Beauty Haul

Hey guys,

I'm back from the continent and back on the island. I'm happy to be back but sad to have left. To keep my own spirits up I need to keep busy, busy, busy so be prepared for an abundance of posts. To kick things off, I'm going to show you the few beauty that I acquired on my trip. Enjoy.

To start off, I need to clue you in on the fact that I refreshed my ombre. I used the L'OREAL PARIS WILD OMBRE PREFERENCE  in the No1 Shade. That little event took a toll on the health of my already damaged hair. As the result of this I needed to condition it as much as possible to restore it (as much as I could) to it's previous state. Hence I picked this baby up on the recommendation of a friend. This product is made by the brand called L'biotica Biovax and it's an intensely regenerating mask for dry and damaged hair. After two uses I'm not completly convinced about how great (or not so great) it is. By comparison when | apply my Argan oil hair mask my hair feels silky soft when I'm rising the product off, whereas this does not give such effect. I'll give it a good run until it runs out and I'll let you know my full thoughts in an empties post or something.

The next two products I picked up were from the brand ZIAJA. It's a very affordable polish brand that makes skincare and body care  products that are of very high quality. The first product that I picked up was a cleansing paste for normal, oily and combination skin that's made with manuka leaves. The next thing was a moisturing cream for oily and combination skin made with white tea. My thoughts on these two products... they're absolutely fantastic!!! The paste cleared my skin almost completely and the cream made it unbelievably hydrated and soft  within a week. For once I feel like I have a radiant complexion. I love these products so much that I bought back ups of them just in case they run out and I had no way of coming by them after less then a week.  The one thing I have to say and this is because of what one of the shop ladies said, is that you're not supposed to use the paste on an everyday basis as it's deep cleaning and if used too much it could irritate your skin and dry it out. So now instead of using it everyday I'm gonna use it every other day or so and only once on that day. Yay to a new skincare routine haha.

 The next few things that I picked up were makeup products from CATRICE. The fist one was a primer called PRIME AND FINE. It's supposed to be a pore refining and anti-shine base for a mattifying, long lasting, oil free effect. After about a week of use I think that it lives up to the promises. I would recommend it to those people who are looking for a good primer that is not silicone based.

 The next product that I bought was a nude eye pencil. This product revolutionised my eye makeup look. It just get's rid of the redness that makes my eyes look tired and makes them look bigger and more awake. I think it holds up pretty well throughout the day like it promises to do on the packaging. 

The last thing that I picked up from this brand was a concealer/ camouflage cream in 010 Ivory. It works great underneath the eyes and on spots and it's a great colour match and coverage. 







The last items that I picked up as a birthday present from me to me from the brand INGLOT. This brand is a lot cheaper in Poland then elsewhere in the world as it is a polish brand so I decided to make the most of it by building my own pallete. 

 The colours I got were (in order from the top left corner going to the right ) :
110 - a shimmery champagne colour
407 - an orange colour with gold shimmer
445 - a shimmery light purple
446 - a shimmery dark purple
428 - a shimmery navy
351- a matte vanilla colour that's similar to my skin tone
118 - a shimmery gold
112 - a shimmery gold with a pink undertone
358 - a light, tope colour
378 - a dark matte brown with a slight purple undertone


 All the colours are nicely pigmented and I think the palette is very versatile appropriate for daytime and nightime looks. I

I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I did shopping for it. Hopefully you noticed that I'm using a nice quality camera now to take my pictures and that you can appreciate that. I'll see you in my next post xx
