This post could have also been addressed - I flew, I bought, I conquered. And I am sorry that I've been gone this long, but workload before holidays was insane and I barely had the chance to pull it off before we flew to US.
Obviously, shopping wasn't the sole purpose of the trip, but in the end me and my hubby bought way more stuff than we even thought possible. We flew to San Francisco with 28 lb of luggage between us (2 suitcases) and flew back with 148 lb + all the stuff that we packed in our carry-on bags. So yes, quite insane.
But the thing here is that you guys that live in the States probably have no idea how lucky you all are. The clothes from the brands we like (Banana Republic, GAP, Levi's, VS, Abercrombie etc.) were so inexpensive that we bought enough clothes to last us at least a year. How lucky you are that you probably all live across the street from Bath & Bodyworks. I spent 2 hours in there and my only though now when I'm trying all the products out is that I should have bought another suitcase. And make-up...yes... but this is the story that we'll get into a bit more in-depth.
I bought both drugstore and high-end make-up. Some I got because it was so ridiculously cheap compared to prices here in Slovenia (I will try to compare prices where I can). And some I bought because I wanted to try all the new, pretty, shiny brands that were attacking me from every corner. I will try to go over the purchases in the same order I would use them. So without further ado, here is THE haul.
FACE
I must say, that I am a bit skeptical about all these gadgets that supposedly make your face feel like newborns. So I didn't go for the Clairsonic but instead opted for the less expensive version - the Olay Pro X. So far I must admit that I'm very impressed so this might just be a step towards actually getting the Clairsonic. But I can tell that I'm breaking out less and that's what's most important.
ProX also came with a pore scrub of some kind which I haven't tried out yet. I also purchased a Neutrogena purifying pore scrub. First impression - not too crazy about it. It seems kind of difficult to wash off. But it's early days still.
ProX cost about $30 , I'm not sure if you can get it in Slovenia. I did try to look for the Neutrogena scrub and couldn't find it in my local drugstore.
