Essence "A New League"

Today's a POLISH/ENGLISH post. 

Na nową limitkę Essence “A New League” czekałam, od kiedy zobaczyłam jej zapowiedź na jednym z blogów. Spodobał mi się bronzer. Nie tylko jego design, ale także fakt, że składał się z czterech odcieni – zachwyciła mnie wizja manewrowania pędzlem tak, by osiągnąć kilka efektów jednym produktem.
"A New League” miała być tylko w drogeriach Rossmann i na razie nie miałam czasu zweryfikować tej informacji – do żadnej Natury nie zajrzałam. Okazało się jednak, że nie każdy Rossmann bierze udział w promocji. Odwiedziłam cztery sklepy i tylko w jednym był stand z kosmetykami. Niestety było ich bardzo niewiele, po trzy-cztery sztuki każdego rodzaju. Pierwszego dnia promocji o godzinie 10:00 zgarnęłam przedostatni bronzer, szczotek już nie było, lipstain został jeden. Zdaje się, że gdybym weszła do Rossmanna trzy godziny później, po zajęciach, zastałabym puste stoisko…

Cóż. Przyjrzyjmy się moim rzeczom.

I was waiting for the new Essence’s limited edition "A new League” since the day I’ve saw the ad on someone’s blog. I really wanted the bronzing powder. It was not only the look of it but the fact it contained four different shades that made it a “must-have” – I was delighted by the vision of cruising the brush so that to achieve several different effects while having only one product.
“A New League” was to be in Rossmanns only (?). It turned out, though, not every Rossmann had this edition. I visited four shops and only one had the stand with the cosmetics, and there were few of them: the first day of the sale at 10:00 I grabbed the last-but-one bronzer, hairbrushes were gone, lipstain was one. Seems if I went to Rossmann three hours later, after my lectures, the only thing I’d see would have been the empty stand…  

Ah well! Let’s see my things, then.

Miałam kupić tylko brozner, ale kiedy stanęłam przed tymi wszystkimi produktami, nie mogłam się powstrzymać. Sprawdziłam lipstain – niestety, mimo tego, że dawał ustom wspaniałe uczucie, tragicznie na nich wyglądał.
Cienie natomiast wyglądały genialnie. Co prawda ten, który podobał mi się najbardziej, w odcieniu 01 był już wykupiony, ale 03 - Oh De Prep - okazał się równie ładny. Bardzo łatwo się go aplikuje i cudownie wygląda na skórze. Dodatkowo mogę zapewnić, że byle woda go nie zmyje… Nie wiem, kiedy będę go nosić, bo jestem bladziochem i nie przepadam za mocnym makijażem, ale, nooo…. Musiałam!

I was to buy the bronzing powder only, but when I faced all those products, I couldn’t help but trying them all. First the lipstain – sadly, despite giving a wonderful feeling to lips, it looked TERRIBLY.
Eyeshadows, on the other hand, looked perfect. Truth is the one I liked the most – 01 – was sold out, but the 03, Oh De Prep, turned out to be as pretty. It’s very easy to apply and looks wonderful on skin. Plus I can assure you any water can wash it off. I have no idea where I’ll wear this since I’m very pale and don’t like strong make-up, but, well… I had to!

Ah, what the hell.

Haul or how I've spent money destined for tutoring

Um, yeah... I was to go for a private lessons and learn maths, but some Internet courses made me understand it quite well (actually we'll see!) so I kept my purse closed until I went to a drug store... A couple times during the last week.

I'm thinking of turning my blog into Polish, as least some of the posts, like those, as only Polish women may benefit from most of my reviews. On the other hand, I think it'd do unessecary mess here. So maybe a mash-up of languages? I'll try it when I'll be reviewing next cosmetic.


Maybelline, the Colossal Volum' espress waterproof mascara - my one and only favourite mascara ever. Well, honestly, I was to buy something cheaper (WIBO Growing Lashes) and not in that moment, but because WIBO wasn't waterproof I thought I'd stay with Maybelline. Plus, the make-up remover, shown in the photo as well, was added as a gift. Who'd deny it? I didn't try it yet, 'cause I still have m ZIAJA make-up remover, but I hope it'll be good. 
Maybelline is a great as always.

Eveline Slim Thermo Fat Burner - I've tried many of such cosmetics and none was as half as good as this one. Eveline's Thermo Fat Burner just WORKS. And it works really quickly, actually. I like that warm effects it makes, though I admit, now, as summer came, it's sometimes a little uncomfortable to have a great heat on my belly and tighs. Maybe I'll try some serum with cooling effect, but for sure it'll be from Eveline.

Babydream Bathing cream for mothers - as many bloggers, I use it manly for washing my hair. It's pretty good, washes oils well, leaves hair soft and light. It has pretty nice smell as well. The one disadvantage of it is it's too watery so its efficiency isn't great.


BeBeauty, peeling for feet - I've read some great reviews about the product so, knowing my feet need some special treatment, bought it without hesitating. It's good, but not perfect. But I think, for its price (which is like, 3PLN? don't remember really) you wouldn't find anything better. Maybe if you even paid more, you wouldn't be more pleased. 

Hean, Slim no limit, sugar firming peeling - does it really firm? It's hard to say, I think it works just like other peelings, the most work comes from massaging. But it has a beautiful citrus smell and motes are big enough to peel well. Its efficency isn't good as you have to put a lot of the peeling on your hand to feel you peel you body in a proper way, but still, I really, really like it.

Isana, nail-varnish remover - and this one is the best nail-varnish remover I've ever used. I've read many positive reviews about it but had no idea how it would be better than others. But it is, honestly. It cleans your nails so easily and quickly you may actually close your eyes while removing a varnish/conditioner. Nothing stays! Plus it has really nice smell for a remover.


Bielenda, Vanity, sugar hair removal cream - I have a horrible allergy to hair removal creams. No matter which brand or type I'd choose, it always ended the same: scratching myself to blood. Yes, every single one cream does this to me, except for this one. I have no idea why: I've used many creams, for sensitive skin as well, by lots of brands, and only this one is good for me. Does it work well, too? It's pretty good. Five minutes is enough to remove most of your hair, but, sadly, you often must put more cream (or keep the old one) on some areas. It comes mostly for bikini areas, it works perfect with leg hair, though.

BeBeauty, make-up remover tissues - didn't try them yet. I don't use such tissues daily, but they are a really good way when you don't have conditions or time to clean your face with liquids, gels, milks and so on. So everytime I know I'll be at place when removing make-up may be hard, I take the tissues with me. They don't replace a full cleansing, but still, they better than nothing.

I have some other cosmetics to talk about, but I think it's enough for now.

Classic Lolita Outfit

Ok, maybe it's not exactly Lolita - it was so hot I didn't wear a blouse nor tights or socks (actually, I don't have proper nice socks - I plan to buy ones from H&M soon), in the end I didn't even wear a petticoat, but let's face it - full lolita outfit isn't very comfortable for hot shopping day. May everyone be happy, let's call it loli inspired coord.

Okay, so I shut up and show you what I wore:



 I really liked how my hair looked but it weren't too stable so I turned my buns into ponytails...


It didn't look as good, but at least I was sure I wouldn't have corrected it all the time.

Also, I know I look weird wearing those sunglasses, but the truth is, I look weird in any I could try. So I thought I'll wear all those I like if every single one gives me such a strange look. 


I know this one, most important pic is too small, but the rest of the photo was the vicinity of the mirror so I cut it, and my phone was adjusted to take such small photos... Nevermind, I believe I'll wear this outfit once again in the future and thus, take better photos.
