Hello. Today I'm gonna write about some new stuff that I bought in December. I know it's kind of late, but I've been like, really busy in that month.
I LOVE... CHERRY ALMOND SPARKLE and STRAWBERRIES & CREAM
When I was in Munich I had to stop in Douglas and damn, I have never seen such a big Douglas store before. I didn't know where to look first, there was so much beautiful stuff. Of course I had to pick something from I love..., I've been totally obsessed with this brand for a while now. I chose 2 shower gels; Cherry Almond Sparkle and Strawberries & Cream scent and they smell so yummy and beautiful, that I feel like I'm in heaven. I got them for 5,99 € each in Douglas. In Slovenia you can get I love... products in Tuš Drogerija stores, but there's not much to choose from. You can get a few products online from click2chic.
ZOEVA 109 LUXE FACE PAINT & 221 LUXE SOFT CREASE BRUSH
After reading so many positive reviews on Zoeva brushes, I've decided to grab two brushes to try them out. I bought 109 contour brush for 12,99 € and 221 crease brush for 7,99 € at the Douglas store. I fell in love with these two brushes the first second I've tried them out. They are one of the best brushes indeed. Bristles are extremely soft, they pick up the product very well. Amazing quality for such a low price, I recommend them to everyone who is looking for good brushes for a decent price.
BATISTE DRY SHAMPOO
I really like the scent, it's a gentle cherry scent, but you can still smell it. With the dry shampoo from Aussie it's a totally different story. I almost choke every single time I used it, it has such a strong scent. It smells nice, but too strong for my taste. It left white residue on my hair, so if you have dark hair, you have to be careful so that you don't put too much product on your hair. It gives a bit more volume to my hair and they weren't greasy anymore. Overall I'm very satisfied with it, but I wish I bought a few more of them, cause they were only 3.99€ each in Douglas.
ANNY - 469 PROJECT FAME & 151 THE NEW COPPER

Anny brand has so many amazing shades to choose from, so you must know how hard it has been to choose only two nail polishes. I've set myself a limit for only two nail polishes since the price is kinda hefty. I have bought The new copper and Project fame and already tried out nail polish The new cooper. It's such a beautiful color, perfect for autumn. And I like everything about this nail polish. The bottle itself is nice and kinda special. It has a nice thin brush, but not too thin. I don't like the big wide brushes, like the Essence nail polishes has. But that's just my personal preference. And the staying power sounds promising, since it lasted longer on my naild than any other nail polish that I own. It was only one day longer, but that's a lot for me, since they all tend to chip after one good day because of my weak nails. For Project fame I doubt that it will stay on my nails as long, since it is a satin finish. I got them at Douglas for 9.99€.
LEE STAFFORD HAIR GROWTH TREATMENT
This is actually a repurchase since I want to grow back my hair longer. I used this hair mask 2 or 3 years ago, when I had long hair. This product halped my hair so much, they didn't break, they were smooth and looked way better after using this. For me it did exactly what it's supposed to do, my hair grew faster and I wasn't stuck at one specific lenght of my hair. This product is holy grail to me, I would be very disappointed if they discontinue Lee Staffords line in the DM store, since they stopped selling his products in the Müller store last year and I think Tuš drogerija is discontinuing it too, 'cause I got this mask for around 7 € and that's like half the prize.
NIVEA MEN AFTER SHAVE BALM SENSITIVE
There was a certain hype about this product a while ago in the beauty world. So when I saw it in the drugstore, I thought what if I tried it? I have nothing to lose, if it doesn't work as a primer then I'll use it as an after shave balm. I've tried it out and now I just can't live without it. It just works amazingly as a primer. I won't go into details at this point, because this product deserves a proper review. So if you're looking for a good primer that happens to be cheap, try it out, especially if you have dry or normal skin.
You can get it in the drugstore, I've seen it in Tuš drogerija and Müller. For the DM store I'm not sure, since I haven't noticed it there, but they might be selling it. It costs around 7 €.
ESSENCE ALL ABOUT BRONZE
I bought this palette to try it out for myself, since some say that Essence palettes are very good for it's price and then other say they're bad. Palette consists of 8 shimmery colors. They feel soft and when I swatched them the colors were pigmented quite good, except for two lightest colors. You can get it in every drugstore for around 4 €.

ARTDECO HIGH PERFORMANCE EYESHADOW STYLO 28
This is the product that blew my mind and I'm definitely planning on buying it in other shades as well. It's a goldish shimmery shade, that's perfect for inner corners of the eyes. Texture is creamy and in a few seconds it becomes non-smudgy, so you have to work very fast with it. It's also waterproof. It's more on the pricy side, since it costs around 10€, but I think it's totally worth the money. You can get it in Müller.
ARTDECO EYESHADOW IN SHADE 297
Since the eyeshadows from Artdeco are hit or a total miss, I didn't know what to expect from this one, since I got it as a gift from a friend. I have to say that I'm not a fan of any kind of pink color, but I really like this one. Since it reflects at certain angle more goldish than pink. I didn't tried it on my eyes yet, but I like how it swatches, it feels soft and the pigmentation is good. You can get it in Müller, they cost around 5€.
CATRICE VELVET MATT EYESHADOW 040 AL BURGUNDY
This eyeshadow is a hit and miss for me. When I swatched it in the store it had intense pigmentation and the color was stunning. But when I tried it on my crease this beautiful burgundy turned into brown when I blended it out. So this is a big con for me, since I bought the eyeshadow because of the color. On the touch they feel soft and what surprised me was the staying power. It lasted on my eyelids a whole work day with a primer. This range is actually getting discontinued at the drugstores however.
