Latest MAC additions - Mineralized skin finish and Select moisturecover

For my birthday, I got a gift card to MAC - my friends know how to make me happy ;-)
So I got Mineralized Skinfinnish Natural in light (a super fine yet compact face powder) and MSF Lightscapade (as a highlighter) - honestly, I just fell in love with its sheen and light texture. To complete the haul, I got Select moisturecover, the MAC lady said it was not going to settle in my fine lines (ha, we will see about that ;-)). Very happy with my purchase and once again, thank you Ursa and Klaudija ;-).

 

MaxFactor goodies

My sister sent me a lovely package consisting of MaxFactor cosmetics - Colour Elixir Giant Pen stick (amazing, feels great on the lips and has a soft matte finish with a subtle glow), Glossfinity nail polish in no 70 cute coral and a 2000 calorie mascara. And as a bonus a glass nail filer, excellent for keeping my nails in shape ;-)

Inno purchases

During the 4 crazy days of sales in Inno, I bought my second bottle of Revlon Colour stay foundation, Benefit's Erase paste (excellent but expensive beyond belief - and it's never on sale, but I have wanted to try it for a long time) and Eyelure party lashes.

 

UI shopping

Part re-stocking, part trying new things. This is my third tube of Redermic-R, I love to use it as a night cream. Antihelios by La Roche-Posay is my favourite sun screen and this one has a dry finish, if you have oily skin, you will appreciate it a lot!
Caudalie is amazing, I absolutely adore their face peeling and this body peeling is simply - as it is called - divine! It has a lovely smell and leave a slight oily finish on the skin.
I also got two free samles ROC retinol (very nice smooth texture) and Eucerine eye makeup remover - it's ok, but nothing to write home about. ;-)

L'Oreal Mythic Oil

Continuing the latest obsession with oils, my sister highly recommends L'Oreal's (professional) mythic oil to nourish your hair. Retail price 15 EUR, available via the Internet.

Enriched with a special blend of avocado and grape seed oil, this lightweight oil cares and pampers all hair types. Nourishing even the finest hair, the formula leaves hair looking shiny, feeling nourished and supple.

Nashi argan - for hair

The benefits of argan oil are widely known and heavily promoted (just pop in to your local Di store and you will what I mean) so it will not come as a surprise that I decided to try its beautifying properties on myself :-). I got Nashi argan hydrating hair mask at the hairdresser's but there are plenty of products with argan oil available all around so feel free to share your experience, recommendations. Yes, it is amazing, it soften the hair, making it shinier...you know the rest ;-). I have been buying sweet almond oil, castor oil, coconut oil so argan oil is just the next logical step ;-).
