Haul from Berlin (part 2) - Revlon, The Body Shop

It's time for part 2 of this haul of mine from Berlin... and I think I'll try to post another one this evening. I really need to get this haul out of the way, so that I can start reviewing the products for you!

This part of the haul features products by Revlon and The Body Shop. I was especially excited about Revlon, since we don't have it here in Iceland! 

As usual, L-R, and we will begin with Revlon.
  • The lipgloss is Revlon's Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Coral Reef, which is a beautiful coral colour. Very bright.
  • The lipstick is Revlon's ColorBurst Lipstick in Crimson. Again, Crimson seems to be an exceptionally pretty shade. I usually don't go this dark with my lips, so I can't wait to try this deep, rusty red colour.
  • Finally is Revlon's Grow Luscious Mascara in Blackened Brown. This mascara is supposed to make your lashes stronger while you wear it. I don't know about that (haven't used it long enough to tell), but I can tell you that I love it, and I also love the colour. I usually go for the blackest black I can find and I haven't found brown mascaras very flattering on me in the past. However, this colour almost looks black - yet it isn't. So it gives you a softer, more natural look, but still I go "wow" every time I use it... ok, I'll stop rambling about it! Review coming up, obviously!

Now on to products by The Body Shop!
  • The squeezy tube thingy there (I love to hate and hate to love the word "thingy"... but I do love it...) is from The Body Shop's Spring Collection, and it is the Tailored Cheek Tint in Hot Pink. This is a gel blush which comes out clear, but turns a beautiful pink once you apply it to your skin. Review coming up, I love this!
  • The Body Shop's Hemp Hand Protector is a staple for me (as you can read in my Winter Skincare post... though I use it all year round). I had run out of this and I can't tell you how happy my hands were to see their best friend again :)
  • The last item is The Body Shop's Tea Tree Blotting Tissues. Those are blotting sheets with tea tree oil in them, so they're supposed to help with acne/blemishes. I have become addicted to blotting sheets, so I really look forward to giving those a try.
That's it for this part, stay tuned for part 3, which will include Manhattan, Artdeco and Maybelline ;)

Love,
Miss Diorista

P.S. As always, if you would like to see reviews on any of those, please let me know.

  4. @Cynthia T - Thanks! The next one will be coming up soon :) Yes, I love many drugstore brands from Germany. For example Artdeco (which has really great eyeshadows which you can build you own palette from, they're great quality!), Manhattan (love their e/s primer and lipsticks, as well as e/s!) and Rival de Loup. Check those out!

  5. Oh, thank you so much - I appreciate it!Artdeco was already on my list, but I wasn't quite sure about the quality - now i am more confident on buying!
    Haven't heard about manhattan and rival de loup, but I'll make sure to check them out too!

    I will also make sure to check lots of the Dior product you mention. We have them here in Brazil, but they cost at least 60% more here :(

    Thanks again! Have a great weekend :)
