Beauty Haul: My Trip to Italy!

Hey ladies! I recently got back from a trip to Italy with my boyfriend. We did a tour through Tuscany and visited Lucca, Firenze, Arezzo, Siena, San Gimignano and Pisa. Italy is the land of Kiko, you can find them in every city! Also, you can find Sephora in most of the cities! I picked up a few things from Kiko, Sephora and a local supermarket.

In Arezzo, we went to a local supermarket to pick up some water and snacks for our hotel room. I always take a look at the beauty sections in supermarkets to see what they have and I saw this shampoo and conditioner from Ultra "Dolce" by Garnier! It has rose and lavender scent and I got so excited because I never saw these before! I had to pick them up, because this smells amazing! I'm so sad that they don't sell this scent here in Belgium.

I forgot to bring a mascara on my trip... So on our first day, I really had to go to Kiko. I got the Luxurious Lashes Extra Volume Brush mascara. It's the first Kiko mascara I ever got and I quite like it! I also got a LE Finish Line Lipstick in 'Rosetto', which is a plummy matte lipstick. The Smart lipstick (the one with the black case) in '913' was also bought that day. When I went to the register, my boyfriend told me to put my wallet back in my purse, because he wanted to get the these as a gift. So sweet! 

On a second trip to Kiko, in Siena, I got two of the Velvet Passion Lipsticks, in the gunmetal/rose gold packaging. Holy crap, these are gorgeous and creamy and matte and pigmented and I love them!! I got the colors '310', a raspberry red, and '316', which is a pink nude.

When you see a Sephora, you walk it. There is no ignoring it! I visited the Sephora in Firenze and Arezzo. In Firenze, I got a travel size set by Too Faced, called 'Totally Obsessed'. This set contains 5 best-selling products by Too faced, in a travel size.

The set includes:

• Hangover Replenishing Face Primer
• Shadow Insurance
• Chocolate Soleil Bronzer in Medium/deep
• Melted Lipstick in 'Chihuahua' 
• Better than Sex Mascara

This is a great set to get to know a few of their products! The lipstick color is too die for and the bronzer really smells like chocolate!

On a second trip in Arezzo, I almost had a beauty orgasm when I saw the Love Flush Blush Palette! I saw this on Sanja's blog and was so impressed with it! It's a palette with six blush colors, in heart shapes. I got the last one in the store! 

Than I had to explain to the boyfriend why palettes with multiple blush colors exist. 

'How much blush can a person own? You don't even need to wear make-up to look good!' 

How do we explain this to men? 

At the airport of Pisa, I decided to treat myself one last time and get this Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector. It's in one of the LE shades for the summer called '10 Pink Shimmer'.

Have you picked up anything new lately? Let me know!
