New in: Laura Mercier

I'm back again! I was abroad celebrating Christmas with my family in Spain and sadly I wasn't able to write, I didn't have time. Anyway I hope you had wonderful holidays!
Now it's time to show you new products again, like these 2 makeup things by Laura Mercier: a lipstick and a mascara.

//¡Ya estoy de vuelta! He estado fuera celebrando las Navidades con mi familia en España y desgraciadamente no pude escribir, apenas tuve tiempo. De todas maneras espero que hayais pasado unas fiestas geniales!
Pero ahora es el momento de volver a enseñaros nuevos productos, como estos dos de maquillaje de Laura Mercier: un labial y una máscara de pestañas.//

I've been using this Laura Mercier Full Blown Volume Suprême mascara for almost the whole Christmas, time enough to confirm that it's a great mascara. It hasn't the type of brush I normally like to use, this one is more classic, anyway the bristles are short and perfectly placed on the brush so that they apply the right amount of product, leaving the lashes shiny, soft and clump-free all day long.
I love the formula, it lengthens and thickens with just one stroke, gives intensive color, leaves no clumps, it's waterproof and lasts for 8-10 hours. I can truly confirm that, I've used it the whole day without problem. You can only buy it in black because Laura Mercier thinks that black gives the best definition with the least amount of product, anyway I only buy black mascaras so I find it perfect. By the way, it's suitable for sensitive eyes and safe for contact lens wearers.

//He estado usando esta máscara de pestañas Full Blown Volume Suprème de Laura Mercier durante casi todas las Navidades, tiempo suficiente para poder decir que es una gran máscara. No tiene el tipo de cepillo que suelo usar, este es más clásico, pero las cerdas son cortitas y perfectamente colocadas para aportar la cantidad exacta de producto, dejando las pestañas brillantes, suaves y sin grumos durante todo el día. Me encanta su fórmula, alarga y espesa con una sola pasada, da color intenso, no deja grumos, es waterproof y dura 8-10 horas, algo que puedo confirmar pues la he llevado puesta durante todo el día sin problemas. Sólo se puede comprar en color negro ya que Laura Mercier opina que el negro aporta la mejor definición con la menor cantidad de producto, pero bueno yo sólo tengo máscaras negras así que a mí me parece bien. Por cierto, es apta para ojos sensibles y para quienes usan lentillas como yo.//

The Rouge Nouveau lip colour is the other product by Laura Mercier I've been using lately, that's actually the lipstick I chose for the New Year's Eve party. This is a 100% wax-free lip colour that delivers pure long lasting colour that lets the skin breathe and comforts it with hydration. The formula is weightless, it feels really comfortable on the lips.

//El labial Rouge Nouveau lip colour es el otro producto de Laura Mercier que he estado usando últimamente, es de hecho el labial que elegí para Nochevieja. Es un producto 100% libre de ceras que aporta color puro y duradero, deja respirar a la piel y la conforta con hidratación. La fórmula es muy ligera, apenas se nota en los labial y es comodísimo de llevar.//

It comes in 17 tones divided in 4 different finishes: matte (for velvety lips), sheer (for naturally stained lips), crème (for luminous creamy lips) and pearl (for pearlized lips). I have the shade Chic, which is a creamy reddish pink. Actually all the shade names begin with the same letter as their finish: M, S, C or P, (for example mine: Chic - Crème finish) easy to remember. It's suitable for all skin types, as I already said completely weightless on the lips and provide really intense and pure colour.

//Viene en 17 tonos divididos en 4 acabados diferentes: mate (para labios aterciopelados), sheer (puro, para unos labios naturales), crema (para labios cremosos y luminosos) y perla (para un acabado perlado). Yo tengo el tono Chic, un rosa rojizo y cremoso. Todos los nombres de los tonos comienzan con la letra de su acabado para recordarlo fácilmente: M, S, C y P (por ejemplo el mío es Chic - Cremoso). Son para todo tipo de pieles, como ya dije muy ligeros de llevar en los labios y aportan un color muy puro e intenso.//

Rossmann Schön für mich Box September

I already told you about the Rossmann Schön für mich Box in April (here), that was my first Rossmann beauty box and I was quite happy about the products. I tried to get the next boxes a couple of times but I couldn't, you have to register every month for a chance of getting 1 of 500 they sell every month for 5€. Anyway September is a lucky month again and here I have the Rossmann Schön für mich Box!

8 products this time, a mix of skin care, hair care, make up and scents, plus discount coupons for 3 of the products.

Let's start with the skin care products: a Bebe More eye cream and an Olaz/Olay face cream.
The eye cream is supposed to smooth the rings and give hydration and freshness. The product is ok but I'm currently using a Lancaster eye cream which is much better, so I don't think I'll use this one often. Anyway is a good value for the price (4.49€)
The Olaz Regenerist Luminous face cream helps improving the complexion, it reduces dark spots and uneven skin tone. I haven't open the box because I won't use it soon, I'm currently using the Eucerin Even Brighter which is supposed to do the same and I'm not really happy with it (I will soon update the post about the product).

For the hair care: Nivea color care & protect light shampoo and Isana Professional oil care.
The Nivea shampoo contains pomegranate and liquid keratin, it protects the color without damaging the hair and leaves it shiny and smooth. I guess it's for light color treated hair, just like mine, I only have a couple of highlights so I'll use it, although I don't usually buy Nivea shampoos and I already have a couple of favorite shampoos.
The Isana Professional oil care is a mix of argan and sunflower oil that protects and makes the hair look better. It can be used before washing it or after on the damp or dry hair. I already have the Moroccanoil which is my number 1 favorite but anyway I'll give this Isana oil a try. (2.99€)

The box also contains the Daniela Katzenberger EdT and a 8x4 deodorant.
The Eau de Toilette is really small, 15ml, and it smells much better than I expected. Daniela Katzenberger is a "celebrity" in Germany, one of those people who are nice and people like them but don't have a defined profession (such as the Kardashians). I never buy celebrity perfumes but I must admit this one is a nice little gift for a fan and it smells good, not so sweet as I thought.
The 8x4 modern charme deodorant is ok, deodorant is something I always buy so I will certainly use it but it's not my favorite, it smells much of roses, not something I love. Besides 8x4 is a brand I never heard about and for a similar price (1.55€) I can find other better deos.

Make up products: a Max Factor mascara and a For Your Beauty eye makeup brush.
I'm really happy with the Max Factor Masterpiece Transform mascara, I must say I already have the same mascara since a couple of weeks and I love it, the brush is perfect, small silicone bristles and a long flexible twisted brush help defining the eyelashes without leaving clumps.
Eye makeup brushes are something every girl needs, this one is for smokey eyes and I didn't have any for that so I'm happy it came in the september box, I'll sure use it because I love the smokey eye look!

What can I say about this beauty box? I like it better than the one I got in April, even though I already have similar but better products. 5€ for these 8 products is a really good price! Most of the brands are really good (Nivea, Olaz/Olay, Max Factor, Bebe More) and they are all things every girl uses! Great september Schön für mich Box!
