Collective Haul - Essence, Bourjois, Bioderma, Korres, Loreal.


Hello my lovelies, how are you doing? I hope you're all having a wondeful weekend! I thought that this week it was about time to write a haul post about all the goodies that I got from the drugstore and the pharmacy these past few weeks. The majority of these products are from Essence, every now and then  I love a good haul from Essence, they're super affordable and amazing! Let's see what I got!


Bourjois 123 Perfect CC Cream-31 Ivory: A few weeks ago Bourjois was having a 25% here in Greece, a great chancefor me to buy one of the most famous make up products of 2014! It seems that everyone loves it and I can see why, it makes my face look so much fresher and even, it covers really well for a CC cream and it evens out my dark spots and freckles. The only problem is my super oily skin, I've only tried it twice and I've noticed that I have to blot my face quite often throughout the day.

Essence Longlasting Lipstick-13 Love Me: I wasn't aware that Essence had such a beautiful shade in their Longlasting line of lipsticks, it's a beautiful creamy medium coral-pink. After I saw a picture of it on a blog, it became my mission to hunt it down and buy it. I have to say that it wasn't an easy job, everywhere I went it was sold out. I think it's going to be my staple lip product for the spring.

Essence XXXL Longlasting Lipgloss-01 Baby Doll's Favourite: Another Essence lip product that I wasn't aware of and when I saw it on the stand I knew it had to be mine. A beautiful coral peachy-pink shade with an amazing texture that makes my lips look very wet and full, without being sticky. In my opinion the perfect lipgloss for spring and summer.
Essence I Love Nude Eyeshadow-05 My Favorite Tauping: Essence released a new line of nude eyeshadows for the spring, after swatching all of them this was the one that caught my eye the most. I thought that it would be a great crease shade to pair with any neutral eyeshadow, but unfortunately I was wrong because it's almost invisible on my eyelids. I have hooded eyes and naturally pigmented eyelids, so for a brown eyeshadow to actually show up on me it has to be quite pigmented and this one just isn't. But if you don't have the same problem as me you might actually like it.

Essence Silky Touch Blush-90 Summer Dreaming: If you don't already know, the Essence blushes are my weekness, they have some amazing shades with good pigmentation and they're very affordable, I just love them! So when I saw that they came up with a new shade that is also a peachy one I just couldn't resist! It's not the typical peachy-pink shade I'd usually go for, this one is more of a pastel shade, so unique and springish. It's more on the sheer side so it takes a bit of work to show up on my cheeks but it looks so beautiful and it instantly makes me look tanner. Go and buy it now!

Korres High Shine/Longlasting Base Coat: I was in search of a "basic" base coat, you know, the ones that aren't some kind of nail treatment, just a base coat for painting my nails. I decided to pick this one up because it's toluene,silicone,acetone,phthalate and formaldehyde free, and because it's Korres and I love supporting greek brands. I've only used it a few times, underneath of a nail polish it's performing amazingly well, but on it's own not so much, after only one day it chips like crazy.

L'oreal Color Riche-202 Marie Antoinette: When it comes to nails I rarely go for pinks but I was in a spring mood when I was shopping and this one looked so cute so I said why not. It's a very sheer pastel salmon- pink, it's more for that days when I'm super lazy but I want my nails to look a bit polished.
Bioderma Sebium H20 Solution Micellaire: Lately I've been wanting to make a few changes in my skincare. I decided to try and use a micellar water instead of a cleansing gel in the mornings just because I noticed that sometimes soap can be very harsh to my skin. Even though I'm oily my skin a lot of times is dehydrated, I've been testing out the Bioderma Sebium for a few weeks and so far I quite like it. I'm sure when I run out of this small bottle I'm definitely going to purchase the big one.

Bioderma Sebium Moisturizing Mattifying Fluid: After my dissapointment with the Vichy Aqualia Thermal Light moisturizer, I wanted to purchase a moisturizer that is specifically for oily and acne prone skintypes. Since I got the Bioderma Sebium H20 I decided to purchase the mattifying moisturizer from the same line. I really like how it controls my oiliness throughout the day, even underneath a foundation. However I have noticed a few small break outs so I'll have to keep using it  to see if this is the reason.


So that's everything that I hauled lately. Have you tried any of these products? Let me know!

  3. Με γεια σου όλα Σοφάκι! Βλέπεις διαφορά ανάμεσα σ'αυτό το Bioderma και στο κλασσικό; Η ενυδατική ακούγεται ενδιαφέρουσα, θα την έχω κατά νου όταν τελειώσω τη θεραπεία για την ακμή! Ελπίζω να μη φταίει αυτή για τα σπυράκια που έβγαλες! x

  4. I want to try the CC Cream so much!!! But I tend to have oily skin too throughout the day, so now I'm confused... It's 18.20 euros in Sephora, so does it worth it? :/
    Great haul though, the nude polish is amazing! :D

    1. 18 euros? Really? I got it for 9 euros with the 25% off from Hondos Center, the original price is 12 euros. I'm still not convieced that it's worth it though, I have to keep using it to be 100% sure, but to be honest the first 2 hours it looks amazing on my face.
