New Stuff - Part 48

By Maychiri's Thoughts - October 26, 2024

Greetings!
 
I come to you with a nice assortment of products, one of which was a free gift!
 
 
So, a little story... I like to treat myself to something nice after my birthday, so, last year, after my birthday passed, I felt like trying out something new. You know, new year, new experiences and all that. And luckily, Notino was there for me, with great discounts! This felt like it was fate calling me to buy stuff that I had never tried out before, so I ordered these lovely items. As you can see, they're mostly nail-focused, as I do love myself a good nail polish! And I love to experiment with colours, even though I mostly gravitate towards neutrals, haha! But also, a few brushes because I am constantly searching for the 'perfect' brush. And then also, another Max Factor False Lash Effect Lash & Brow Serum, because I love that darn little thing so much!


The entire range; mostly, it's rose and red colours

Regarding the nail polishes, both Bourjois and Rimmel were brands that I was itching to try. However, Bourjois, in case you didn't know, isn't exactly the most affordable drugstore brand... well, not unless you are buying it on Notino! I was curious to see whether Bourjois' nail polishes were as high quality as the majority of their other products. But the only nail polish available was a 'clean' one, and those can come with a bunch of problems (specifically, lack of durability); this is why I spent ages trying to decide whether to even order it. But I'll never know unless I try it out myself, and, besides, where else would I find it at such a great price?? So I ordered the lightest shade, it was a toss-up between this and white, but I already have a few awesome white nail polishes (and pure white is going to/should look the same across brands anyways), so light pastel pink it is! All the others were too red for me, and I would like to avoid stains, if possible.



The entire Kind & Free range

As for the Rimmels, I was driven mostly by hype surrounding them. Both of the ranges I bought were hyped out to be superb nail polishes at a very low price, so of course I would buy one of each to test that out! Similarly to Bourjois, I was a bit hesitant to buy a Kind & Free nail polish, but its claims of strengthening nails filled me with hope. The Kind & Free range is supposed to be friendly to your nails, while also being friendly to the planet. The colour range is quite excellent; there's light colours (including white!), there's dark colours (including black!), and there's also various colourful shades, all drawing inspiration from nature and its wonders. From the red of a poppy flower, to the light blue of a clear sky, to the dark gray of stormy clouds, it's all very natural. This made it difficult forever to pick just one colour, my instinct was to go with the nude colour, but I wanted to spice things up a bit so I instead decided to go with a lavender colour. Although, that light blue also looks good... 
 

 
Insane amount of colours...

The 60 Seconds Super Shine had an extreme amount of hype behind it, but again, I didn't want to pay full price for a brand whose nail polishes I'd never used before. Luckily, just like with Bourjois, Rimmel is also much more affordable on Notino, now, the only choice remaining was to pick a colour! And boy, are there colours to pick from... there's like 40 of them. I included a screenshot from Notino just so that you could see how many there are - and I am pretty sure that's not all of them! I was stuck trying to decide whether to buy a light brown nude colour or a more light greige nude or maybe a light brownish nude... all roads lead to neutral brownish colours with me, it seems! But I bough this one because the name was so cheesy I just had to!



The entire Fluffy Dreams LE

As for the spoolie, I knew that I wanted at least one product from this quite unusual LE from Essence. Why is it unusual? Because it lacks any sort of makeup per se; the entire LE consisted of just various brushes! But spoolies are essential to have, and it will probably be easier to clean than the brushes that have bright white hairs.
 


The only other thing I would like to highlight is the MUA products, because that ties in to what I said at the very start. This is where the gift comes comes into play - see that clear brow mascara? Yup, that's the gift that I got for purchasing the brush! Did I need a clear brow mascara? Probably not, but who doesn't love to get gifts with their purchases?? And besides, I wanted that brush badly. 
 
 
 

Alright, all that aside, now that the products I ordered arrived, it's time to see how good each one is... so, without further ado, the items for this week, with a link to the brow serum, because I have already reviewed it before:
 
 
 

See you soon!
