Beauty ponders

Yes, you're reading it perfectly clear... Yesterday I was able to go to the company store, something that I've been wanting to do for a long time (in case you don't know this is a store on invite only, mostly employees, with various brands on discount). A week ago I got a tweet from a fellow blogster asking whether I was interested in going this month - yes off course! And so we met up yesterday and I bought way too much stuff...

There were so many items I wanted and I had a hard time choosing, putting a few things back and forth in my basket but I ended up with this bunch and am most pleased.

Skincarewise I only bought a few things:
*EL the Perfectionist CP serum 50ml: I bought the smaller version half a year ago and it is such a lovely product, a great but expensive serum - I'll be doing a review on this one soon.
*EL Resilience Lift Extreme: this is actually a mask but I also bought a copy a few months ago and have been using it as a night cream, again I'm loving it.
*Tri-Aktiline filler: this is a serum which I was curious about, it's likewise to EL Idealist with silicones for filling up fine lines - it is by no means only intented for older women. It provides some good antioxidants and I'm eager to try and see how it works.

*Jo Malone perfume in orange blossom: the last couple of months I've been regularly browsing his perfume site and I had my heart set on going to London and trying the different fragrances. But after some browsing around I found that the company store also had a few of them so as soon as I got there I took a sniff. There were only a few scents available and I bought the smaller version of this scent. Their fragrances are quite expensive, hopefully I'll find it worth the while.
*MAC lip erase: a lip erase has also been on my wish list for some time, this colour is "dim" and was part of a limited collection
*MAC chromagraphic pencil NW25: again, this was also on my wishlist but in the lighter shade NW15 which they sadly didn't offer so I got this one as it's ok for matching my summer skin. In the winter I do need the lighter shade. I've already used it yesterday and what can I say, I love this product!!

And lastly, skin finishes and blushes... starting left top:
*mineralize skinfinish natural in light-medium: I've heard so many great positive things about this product that I couldn't leave it there
*mineralize skinfinish light-meidum/natural&shimmer: I've been meaning to get this one but for some reason never did and now I scored it for only 4euros - it was the last one left, lucky me
*blush peaches: shame on me as I didn't have a peachy blush yet, I swatched this one and decided I had to have it - simple as that
*mineralize blush warm soul: this is one of my purchases that I kept contemplating about, it's a mauve-dusty-rose colour and quite special

Ok, that was it... I had a great time and am most pleased about my purchases!
