Alverde's Spray Deodorant Cherry - Cranberry, Review!!!

Hiiiiiii cuties! I hope you are doing great! Today I am doing a small and to the point review about the Cherry - Cranberry Spray Deodorant from the Alverde company.

Alverde is a German company that is sold exclusively in the "dm" stores.

This deodorant claims to give fresh feeling and protection that lasts 24 hours. Well.... it doesn't :P
The spray smells AMAZING! If I had to describe as precisely as I could the smell, it smells like the cherry flavored PEZ candies (I'm sure you all know the PEZ candies...). So it smells incredibly well BUT it doesn't last :(. No matter how much I spray it on the skin or the clothes, the smell unfortunately doesn't stay which is a HUGE disappointment :(

Here is me with a totally silly face to show my disappointment about it :P

Pros:
- Incredible smell
- Affordable (around 3 euro)
- Cute packaging

Cons:
- No lasting power
- Only sold in dm stores

- Are you satisfied by the product?
- From the smell yes but not from its performance.

- Do you recommend it?
- Ummmm i don't know, i don't think so.

- Will you repurchase it?
- No, after it's finished I will buy probably the cranberry organic perfume from Yves Rocher because I know those have lasting power, they are more expensive but at least they last.

Summer (and Fall, as it seems) Shopping Mania Vol.3 and final: Various Brands

This will be the last post from my summer and early fall beauty purchases. I spent a LOT of money (shhhh don't tell) but I had a hard year (my first year at a university in another country) and I went through a LOT of stress which lead to causing me a lot of health problems throughout the year so I did deserve this shopping therapy (not that i need to have an explanation lol).

Anyway, let me show you the products -from various companies- i will not mini review them as I did at my other 2 posts because I want to make a separate normal review for a few of them. :)

1: Accessories, Camera earrings (around 2 euro)
2: Essence "Smokey Eyes" brush (1.99 euro)
3: Seventeen "Long Lasting Makeup" nr. 02 (around 8 euro)
4: Essence "Nail Color3" Left color "Walk in the park", right color "Stop for ice cream" (gift with purchases"
5 Toyoko Foundation brush (got 2 of them lol) (around 9 euro).


I am a huge lip balm junkie especially because my lips are always dry and I hate if I put a lipstick and cracks will show up on my lips, gross. So i always apply lip balm before i do my makeup.
The lip gloss of the picture is from Deborah Milano company "24 ore Euphoric Shine: nr.4 (gift with other purchace)
In the tin: Nivea Lip Butter: Vanilla & Macadamia (3 euro)

1: Balea young in "Sweet Wonderland" (around 1-2 euro)
2: Dalon Sport: Chocolate (2-3 euro)
3: Dalon Sport: Cherry ( <<)
4: Nivea's Vitamin Shake : Acai & Wild Apple
5: Alverde's Lip Balsam: Vanilla Mandarin 

I also made some swaches for the lip gloss and the balms just to see how they look like. Here is the lip gloss:

And here are the lip balm swatches (in the same order that were displaced in the previous photo):
As you can see the Balea (1) and Alverde (5) don't give any color which is nice.
Dalon's chocolate (2) has a brown color which can look weird if you apply it too much while the cherry (3) one gives a very cute pink color like you just had a popsicle and your lips got tainted :)
The Nivea (4) one has a very subtle color that you don't even observe on the lips. :)
They ALL smell gorgeous!

Last but most certainly NOT least 2 of my favorite purchases. I was very excited to get both of these items and I for sure will make separate reviews for them.

Maybelline's 24 Hour Color Tattoo: nr. 35 On and on Bronze (5 euro)

Such a pretty color!!!



Aaaaaaaand............. 
MARY-LOU MANIZER, highlighter from theBalm cosmetics (sooooooo excited to try this!!!) (around 16 euro)

Doesn't it have the cutest packaging EVER????


And swatch:
nr. 1 is more blended and nr. 2 is swatched with the finger.

So this post wraps up my HUUUUUUUGE summer haul. I am pretty sure that I forgot a few things (hihi) and I also didn't include hair and skin care products or clothing :P
Have you tried any of these products???

Take care!!!
