Fragrancedirect haul

Fragrancedirect is one of those e-shops, where you can buy your desired perfume or makeup item (also discontinued!) much cheaper than from you local store! If only I knew about this website prior to spending 40 + something EUR on my Burberry Summer... Thankfully, I discovered it before I was almost ready to spend my other 40 EUR on Sarah Jessica Parker Covet Pure Bloom. Guess what? I bought it for 10 EUR (incl. shipping)! And I didn't feel sorry when I felt it wasn't "my thing". :)

On to the latest "haul" (actually these are two of my latest hauls combined together). Here is what I got:

1. St. Moriz Instant Self Tanning Mousse - pretty nice shade, but pretty messy application (it's better to apply it wearing gloves, or be EXTREMELY quick, otherwise you'll end up with brownish hands!)

2. YSL Rouge Pur in Nr. 138 Rose Orchidee. Would I buy it for 31 EUR? Nope. What about 10 EUR? Why not? lol Classic pink shade. looks quite bright for my liking, but let's see. Haven't tried it yet.
Update: Tried it a couple of hours ago. It's too bright for me. Hopefuly, my mom will like it! :)

3. Lancome Color Fever Shine in Nr. 335 Coral Cruise. Sheer shiny baby pink shade. Very natural looking! The only disturbing thing is a pretty strong raspberry scent.

4. Giorgio Armani EDP She Remix. Soft&fresh flowery scent with a spicy note. I'm still thinking should I keep it, or should I give it to my mom instead? huh... :)

5. And last but not least, my all-time favourite Maybelline Lash Stylist in Nr. 602 Brownish Black (see the picture below). It's being discontinued for quite a while. Hopefully, it's still of the same quality!

YSL Rouge Pur in Nr. 138 Rose Orchidee, Lancome Color Fever Shine in Nr. 335 Coral Cruise (Why does it always happen to my beloved lipsticks! How do I always manage to get these ugly dents? :/ I even don't press much, I am always so gentle with my little precious... :) )

Maybelline Lash Stylist in Nr. 602 Brownish Black

Maybelline Express finish diamonds "Coral Diamonds" + Gosh "Rainbow"

Layering: Maybelline Express finish diamonds in Nr. 510 Coral Diamonds and Gosh nail lacquer in Nr. 546 Rainbow (2 coats of Maybelline, 1 coat of Gosh, no top coat)

Note: don't pay attention to dents on my index and pinkie fingers - it's me trying to check if "60 sec" thing works. lol The flakes are better visible in the bottle than on my nails. These are still my first attempts (this spring) to take decent pictures of my nails, this is why everything seems so weird... :)

1. Maybelline Express finish diamonds in Nr. 510 Coral Diamonds (2 coats)

Claims: Dries in 60 seconds.

10 ml, exp. date: no info, made in France.

Seems to be 3 Big free (at least these are not mentioned in the list of ingredients :) ).

Colour: coral orange with golden shimmer.

Finish: shimmer-frost.

Application: smooth application , 2 coats is enough for a full coverage. Unfortunately, it doesn't dry in 60 seconds. Dries in 60 (or even more) minutes would sound fair enough. lol Brush strokes are almost invisible.

Retail price: around 8 EUR.

Pros: beautiful colour, good coverage, long lasting, big 3 free.
Cons: the brush is quite small and long (!) for my liking, shape of the bottle is not very comfortable when it comes to rotating (not shaking!) it before the application, pricey, 60 seconds = FAIL!

PS The nail polish itself is perfect, but the marketing thingy (bottle and brush design, slogan) is not that good...

2. Gosh nail lacquer in Nr. 546 Rainbow (1 coat)

8 ml (0,3 oz), exp. date: 24 months after opening, made in Denmark.

Seems to be 3 Big free (at least these are not mentioned in the list of ingredients :) ).

Colour: rainbow!:) although I can spot only orange and green... lol

Finish: light reflecting flakes!

Application: it's very sheer, but buildable if you want to have more flakes on your tips. Keep in mind that the removal process is a bit tricky. Nope, this polish won't scratch your nails, but those flakes will get everywhere! :) I would recommend using it as a top coat only.

Retail price: around 8-9 EUR.

Pros: fun, long lasting, big 3 free.
Cons: the brush is quite small and the handle (not the cap!) is short (only half of the bottle!), pricey, tricky removal.

PS I wouldn't call it a rainbow, nice effect though. :)
