Small collective haul

Last week I did a small collective haul, mostly skincare. I had some bad skincare issues this past month, my skin broke out badly, it was itchy and peeling, it must have been the sunscreen I was using or the moisturizer, I'm not that sure but I decided to change both. So these are the things I got:


  The Body Shop Mattifying Day Cream and Vitamin E Intense Moisture Cream
  La Roche Posay Anthelios AC SPF30
  Erre Due Exclusive nail polish in #184
  Korres Lip Butter in Mango
 



The Body Shop's Vitamin E Intense cream is a moisturizer that is mostly targeted for people with dry or very dry skins, but in the past it has done wonders for my itchy skin even though I'm oily. I used to have a sample of this but now I decided to purchase the full size. I tried the Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream only twice but it's very mattifying, perfect for my oily skin on humid days. It has a gel consistency that feels very refreshing on the face, I only hope it won't break me out.

I was using the La Roche Posay Anthelios AC SPF30 2 years ago, before I changed to Korres Yoghurt SPF30 but since I think the Korres was the reason of my break out, I changed back to the La Roche Posay one. I just hope this one will work with no reactions, my skin is somehow weird, especially with sunscreens, I can use a suncreen for a year with no problems but the next year it may cause me break outs.


  


When I saw the new Erre Due nail polishes at the store, this shade caught my eye immediately! Unfortunately the camera cannot show how bright and neon the color is, but I did my best. It was the last bottle of #184 left at the counter so I had to get it. I love neons!
I wanted to buy the Korres Mango Lip Butter since last summer, but for some reason I didn't, so I think it was about time to purchase it. I love Korres lip butter's texture and in my opinion Mango is one of their best shades along with Jasmine. A soft coral pink perfect for summertime.



Have you tried any of these products? What was your latest haul? Let me know!

  1. I had a same reaction with the Korres sunscreen :( So you're using sunscreen everyday, during winter as well? Also, is it me or Erre Due tried to "essie-ize" their nail polishes? Can't imagine how bright it looks in real life!!!

    1. Not all year round, I start using sunscreen at the first week of March and I stop using it at October, sometimes November if we have a sunny November. The new logo it looks somehow like Essie's, but they still kept the HUGE cap/handle which I hate.

  7. Πολύ ωραίο το post σου!και για μενα η anthelios είναι στην wishlist μου και έχω ακούσει τα καλύτερα απο την δερματολόγο μου. Αν και χρησιμοποιούσα του κορρε είδα οτι προστατεύει μόνο απο UVA, πράγμα που δεν ειχα προσέξει παλιότερα! BTW το carousel coral είναι απο τα αγαπημένα μου βερνίκια της essie! Θα χαρώ να τα πούμε και απο το blog mou
