New In ~ A Haul Post

Hey everyone! Time for a new haul post, yay! This month I got a few things I've been wanting to get for quite a while. My first real paycheck and all that. ;) I got a few more packages, but I shan't show them on the blog, they are not beauty related, BUT they are for my costume for the sci-fi&fantasy convention in September and I cannot wait for it! :) I will probably do a separate post when I get all the "ingredients" if you'll be interested. :)

Let's see my lemmings!

A group photo!

Issey Miyake Pleats Please has been on my WL for quite a while. I have like a top 10 of perfumes that I adore, Pleats Please is always in the top 3, so when I saw the sale in our Müller, I decided to get it. I was supposed to get a document case with it, instead I got a cosmetic bag. Admittedly it is by far more useful to me, but it is also perfectly ugly to my eye. Still, I love the perfume and it's bottle. :)

At last, a face primer! I've been searching for this baby for a billion years and when I saw this post on gorgeous Mateja's blog I decided to get it immediately. Max Factor Face Finity All Day Primer with SPF 20. I won't write much about it, Mateja covered everything perfectly. I wore it contantly in the last week  and it really prolongs the wear of my foundation, which is perfect. :)

Art Deco Dita Von Teese palette with blusher and three eyeshadows. Boy oh boy, I wanted this so badly. When Dita did the collaboration with Art Deco I almost died, I wanted to have everything she put out with her name. I love Art Deco quality and I knew she wouldn't let some crap make up carry her name. Everything looked classy and the colours were gorgeous and the whole concept just brilliant. I got a lipstick back then and a few eyeshadows and I adore them all. But palette was just to expensive for me at that point and then of course it got discontinued rather fast. Lucky for me a girl at mojbutik.si started selling this palette a while ago and it was meant to be because it waited for me to get enough money and excuses to buy it. ;) 

As you can see, blusher did not survived the shipping completely. I blame that on our stupid postman. The package was rather thick and no one in their right mind would try to shove it in our small mailbox. Except our postman. And he really needed to work for it, I'd wager. When I saw the package, I was sure nothing survived, but clearly AD has some sturdy products. 

The eyeshadows are actually gorgeous, especially the dusty purple matte one, so I am thinking I will keep them, at least for a while, I did a combo with them only and I love it for a very soft everyday look. 

Of course the palette is already full, I added my Dita Von Teese purple eyeshadow (Mystique) and the ultimate black matte eyeshadow I adore.

Oh, and the price for three AD eyeshadows, a blusher and a limited edition palette? 13 eur. Epic bargain. Aaand I also got a gift with my purchase:

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse dry oil. My first! Late to the party much? I know. Everybody loves this little potion and I can't wait to try it on my hair. I cannot use it on my skin, it is too oily, but my Mom definitively will, I think she will love it. The smell in unbelievable, I adore it already.

And again something for the hair. I bought the yellow balls on a whim, it is suppose to make your hair curly without a heater. I bought them at Born Pretty Store, they are called Yellow Lovely Soft Sponge DIY Lady Hair Curler Roller Ball. I tried them once but I disliked how they tugged on my hair when I tried to remove them, I felt them snap, because they get stuck in the sponge. And the final effect isn't really good. Maybe there is a learning curve, I gave up after that one try.

The second tool for hair I love. Topsy Tail Hair Braid Ponytail DIY Maker Styling Tool. I only use the bigger one, it helps to do a bit different ponytail and I really like it, it is easy to use and there is million tutorials online for it. There are pictures on the paper board as well, but the description is in Chinese so it is useless for me, as the pictures are of bad quality. Nevertheless, it is a nice product.

And finally, my last lemming for this post: Tangle Teezer Compact Styler! As I decided I will put more into my care for my hair, I needed a good brush as well. The comb I used was really crappy and it created static on my hair, as if they weren't frizzy enough. Tangle Teezer is awesome! I bought compact one because I move from one city to another often, and it is awesome. Small, but not too small, and the cover is just a brilliant addition.

See, tiny!

Lots of lemmings killed. :) And what did you get this month?

ArtDeco ~ 130

Hey people! It's been a while. May is the hardest with the exams, although June is going to be hard as well. Lots of work. Today I had one of the exams and I am so tired. Nevertheless, I am still polishing my nails and trying to take photos of my nails (my camera is slowly dying on me). This particular polish is an old gift I got for NY a couple of years ago. I actually doubt it is still available ... it is a part of ArtDeco Ceramic Nail Lacquer line. I am not a fan of ArtDeco nail polish solely because the price is way to steep in my opinion, for the rather poor choice of colours. Well, maybe the choice is not that bad ... just not after my taste. But this little fellow is a pretty one.

I can't remember really, but I think this was three coats. Good brush as well. I especially love the golden specks of irregular shapes in the purple base. 

Do you own any ArtDeco nail polish?

Paket Petek with ArtDeco and MUA

Some of you already saw these pictures, I was just trying to move this on actual Friday, but I guess Blogger doesn't like the idea ... I apologize for the confusion!

 These are the two pacakges I received last Friday, both joint orders with at least one of my friends. :)

First the package from Slovene online store called mojakozmetika.si, where they sell ArtDeco products. I'm not sure if I ever mentioned this on the blog, but I am a huge fan of ArtDeco. They offer a very high quality and are of medium price range, so I as a student can afford them too. I adore their Teint Concealer for darker circles under my eyes, I love their Concealer stick, their eyeshadows in million shades ... and their variety of products. But what I love most about them is their collaboration with Dita Von Teese. I adore her. She is so sexy in a sophisticated way, and so glamorous, she is amazing, really. I've always been amazed by her and when I heard that she's making make up collection with ArtDeco I couldn't wait to see it! Classic was not really my cup of tea, although I regret now not getting two eyeshadows and a lipstick ... but Fall Favourites is a perfection of a collection. I would have bought all that is available in the collection, had I have the money. Sadly, when it came out, I was short on money, but I knew Moja kozmetika has outlet offer and I hoped to see Dita's collection there. Just a few days ago I saw the news on ArtDeco FB page and I asked a couple of my friends if they'd be interested in ordering and this is what we chose.

When I think of Dita, I immediately think "perfect lips". That is why I really wanted to have her lipstick. I have a love story with Erotique. The first time I saw it on the counter, I actually held my breath. It was an utter perfection, I wanted it SO badly. But I did not have 15 eur to spend on a lipstick. So Erotique was the trigger for this haul. I want the rest of the collection as well, because the formula is perfect and the package ... it's actually heavy, not plastic and the design wonderful. I feel awesome applying the lipstick and I feel like a million bucks wearing it.

And yeah, 4 matte top coats. :) It's meant for gifts as well. I also already wore Mystique eyeshadow and it's really amazing. Oh, and yes, trust that Dita will have the most perfect names for make up ever. :)

A video of her, because she's perfect.

And now for the MUA haul. I could not say no to their -40% offer and together with a friend caught the very last moments of the sale (I didn't read it carefully enough and thought it lasts until midnight, when it lasted only until 5pm). I have not tried anything by MUA yet, because I got ill, but I have done some quick swatches, wanting to know about pigmentation and I must say, I really like it. Plus the price is just ridiculous for this quality.

This is how the violet one actually looks like, much less blue toned and with blue shimmer. I wanted this eyeshadow for ages, it is stunning. Also the purple in the palette is not that pale. My camera hates the purples.

I am also very curious about cream blusher, as I never used it before. I picked very subtle shades of blushers, because I always do my lips or eyes with bold colours, so I tend to use very natural blushers, in order to avoid looking like a clown. :) I hope they'll suit me, I like them in the pans. :)

So yes, that is it ... do you like ArtDeco make up? And did you buy anything from MUA special offers? :)
