drugstore mini haul and mini review: p2 Rich Care and Color Nail Polish, p2 One Drop Fitness Oil, p2 14H Lip Designer

2. May 2013

I did a mini haul at the local drugstore DM some days ago. I was looking for something to help my nails regenerate, because they’ve become very dry lately. That’s why I picked up p2’s Color and Care Nail Polish and One Drop Fitness Oil. While having a look at the other product I discovered the 14H Lip Designer and I ended up buying it :D

p2 One Drop Fitness Oil:

A rich oil for dry nails. It contains soy oil together with almond oil, sunflower oil, olive oil and orange oil. It’s a vegan product and free of parabens and PEGs. The bottle containing 9 ml comes with a pump. This should helps to only put one drop on each nail and massage it until absorbed. My first impression concerning the pump: it’s difficult not to pump to much out of the bottle. A brush or a pipette would have been better. It smells of oranges, which is nice. It costs around 2 €.

ingedients:

GLYCINE SOJA OIL, PRUNUS AMYGDALUS DULCIS OIL, LIMONENE, CYPERUS ESCULENTUS ROOT OIL, GLYCERYL LINOLEATE (AND)GLYCERYL LINOLENATE, HELIANTHUS ANNUUS SEED OIL, TOCOPHEROL, CITRUS DULCIS, CITRAL, CAROTENOIDS (AND) CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, LINALOOL, ECHINACEA PURPUREA ROOT EXTRACT, OLEA EUROPAEA LEAF EXTRACT, PANAX GINSENG ROOT EXTRACT

p2 Rich Color + Care

This one claims to be a scented nail polish with milk proteins for perfectly manicured nails. The 5in1 texture hardens, strengthens, nourishes, protects and conceals uneven nail. The broad brush makes the application easier. This product is not vegan and costs around 1.50 €. The bottle contains 12 ml. You’ll find the original description in German >>here<<.

My impression: I have no. 010 called “so pure”. I didn’t notice any special scent for this nail polish, but I like the nude color (you need two layers to see the color, or more :D). The brush is broad and is really easy to use. You can nearly cover the whole nail with one stroke.

p2 14H Lip Designer

The description says, this product creates lips with matte velvet-y finish and lasts up to 14 hours. It’s a pen shaped stick for creating sharp contours. The texture should be nourishing and contains apricot oil and peach extract. This product is not vegan and contains 3.3 g. I have No. 050 called sexy high heel. It costs around 4 €. You’ll find the description in German >>here<<.

My impression: like most lipsticks it doesn’t last for 14 H, especially not if you eat something. But the stain stays on the lips pretty long. It survives drinking and nearly doesn’t stain the glass. I swatched it on my hand and it took a while to vanish. I didn’t feel it directly to be nourishing, but it has a nice texture. Nevertheless it made my lips dry out after while.
