Haul from Berlin (part 8) - Dior

We have come to the last part of my haul from Berlin, and yes, it is Dior. Of course :) As you will see, I didn't really go overboard with Dior this time, and decided that I rather wanted to spend money on, well, I guess you can call those "special edition" products. That is, those are (apart from the lipstick) products which I can't really get here in Iceland. So enjoy this final part of the haul!



L-R:

• Rouge Dior Lipstick in Mazette (028) - This is a gorgeous bright coral - perfect for spring and summer. Love, love, love it! And it's so fun to know, that each of the 32 Rouge Dior shades are inspired by Dior Haute Couture gowns - what a brilliant idea, a lipstick shade for each dress!
• Cannage Couture Collection Brush Set (Collection Voyage) - In English, this is a travel brush kit. How ingenious, a travel brush kit with brushes from Dior! I've always wanted to try their brushes, and I had heard that their blush brush was amazing, so I of course had to take this little one home. The kit comes with 4 brushes - a classic foundation brush, a blush brush, an eyeshadow brush and a lip brush. The brushes are all mini sized, and come in a "wallet" with the classic Dior quilt print. Very elegant and pretty!
• The Scents of Miss Dior Chérie - As I've told you before, my favourite perfume is Dior's Miss Dior Chérie printemps...so basically, my heart did a little flip-flop when I saw this absolutely beautiful set of 4 mini-perfumes from the "Miss Dior Chérie" range - you have Miss Dior Chérie L'eau, Miss Dior Chérie Eau De Toilette, Miss Dior Chérie Blooming Bouquet and Miss Dior Chérie Eau De Parfum. How adorable!

This completes my haul from Berlin. I really hope that you enjoyed these posts, and yes, you can be expecting many of the hauled items to be reviewed during the next few weeks :)

Love,

Miss Diorista

Victoria's Secret - Ooh la la

I can tell you right away, that I´m picky about perfumes. I can't just pick anything up, spray it on and wear it... I have to try it out first, and then I have to really love it if I'm going to be wearing it - I generally don't wear a perfume unless I have fallen head over heals.

So what am I looking for in a perfume? Of course, writing a review for a perfume doesn't really make sense because what I don't like, you might love, or vice versa. So what do I like perfume-wise? Well, I generally go for floral scents, and I like a bit of sweetness to them, but not too much - that just gives me a head ache. Which brings me to another point which rules out so many perfumes for me - I have asthma, and many perfumes have me coughing like crazy all day - which of course is no good.

However, although I like floral scents, I am always open to other scents too.

Whew! Now when that's done with, I can start telling you what I think of this particular perfume, Ooh la la by Victoria's Secret. The scent is floral and it has just that right amount of sweetness to it - doesn't lose its edge in a truckload of sugar, so to speak. I absolutely love the vanilla in it, but the floral notes (think mandarin orange and cherry blossom) keep the scent exciting, fresh and fun.

The weartime is a little below average, I would say. That means, if you are fanatic with your perfume, you probably will feel like spritzing on some more halfway through your day. I don't really do that, though.

And do I have to point out to you the adorable packaging?!? Didn't think so :) This bottle looks so cute on my vanity, and I love the old-fashioned pump (what do you call this?).

Bottomline: I like this. I don't feel like wearing this every day, but when I do, I really like it!

Haul from Berlin (part 5) - Victoria's Secret

Until recently, there was no Victoria's Secret in Iceland. Now, however, we can buy cosmetics (that is, makeup, body sprays, lotions, etc.) in the duty-free! I'm so thrilled... yet another excuse for travelling (as if we need excuses to travel, duh!). 

• Beauty Rush Luminous Shadow in Gold School (left, a true gold) and Too Too Pink (right, a light, beige pink with peachy undertones). Those are loose eyeshadows, which "stick" to the applicator by help of magnetic powers, I believe. They are very pretty and I think they'll be nice to have when I'm in a "beauty rush" (aka, every morning!). However, I'm sceptical about their staying power... I'll update once I've tried them out! But I do love the names of those, Gold School is like old school, and Too Too sounds like "tutu", and tutu skirts are usually the exact light pink colour that this shade is! Genius!
• Ooh la la - perfume. I love this perfume. It is sweet without being too sweet... and I love the old-fashioned bottle! I'll post a proper review soon! Actually, you are seeing a whole reveiw-galore ahead of you, girlies ;)

Stay tuned for part 6, which will be Benefit! Can't wait to share it :D
