Winter skincare favourites

Before I can say goodbye to winter I wanted to show you some products that helped me keep my skin moisturized during the winter. I have never had problems with dry skin on my body or face, but this year was different. Since I work in dry and hot bakery, my skin got very dry and itchy. For my body I was using Eucerine body lotion for sensitive skin.It is very easy to apply and has a nice, light smell.

Moving to my face, my every night time routine includes Oriflame true perfection refreshing eye illuminator. I have never paid much attention to the skin around my eyes, but when I got this product it changed my routine. Since I have to wake up at crazy hours and I don't get much sleep, this product helps my eyes from getting puffy. Even though my skin is oily it is not very hydrated so I treat it at night using Vichy Idealia skin sleep. I loooove everything about this face cream! I mean, look how cute the packaging is and the smell, but most of all, I love how it feels on the skin. In the morning I was using Matis shine controlpurifying care face cream. I'm very sad because I already used it up. It's one of the best face creams I have ever tried and I hope I will be able to repurchase it, since it's a bit pricey.

During the winter my lips are the ones that get dry first. I splurged a little with Clarins lip comfort oil. I love how it feels on the lips and it managed to make them smooth and nourished. I will repurchase this oil next winter for sure! I was using this oil at night and in the morning. During the day I was using Le Couvent de Minimes Eau Aimable smile lip balm. It smells of orange blossom, such a lovely scent.

Last on the list are my hands, I thing they are the ones that suffered the most. They were so dry that they started cracking and bleeding. Every night I apply thich layer of essence hand balm and in the morning I was using L'Occitane hand cream. This little orange gem is alessandro nail cream. I'm so thankful to the shop e-kozmetika for puting it into our goodie bags at our blogger conference. At first I was sceptical, because the one that I got is carrot & orange and I reeealy hate carrot. But suprisingly this one smells so good, I almost want to eat it every time I'm using it. It also nurishes my cuticles and makes the super soft.

My summer necessities

Summer is officially here so it's time for some new products. Bronzed look, bright colors, SPF..... read more about my summer necessities below. 

 

There is no summery make up look without bronzer. I love using Essence (TE Beach cruisers) bronzing powder, because it's matte, but it's also shimmery in the middle, so you can use it as a matte or shimmery bronzer, to get that sun kissed look. Artdeco bronzing powder is matte, and very gorgeous on the skin. Now to the bright colours, I love wearing coral nail polish in the summer. My favourites are Essie - California coral and Alessandro - VIVA LA DIVA - City Grass. As for the lipstick, my favourite shades are pink, one of my favourite is Wet 'n' wild - Mauve Outta Here. I'm sure those pretty colors are popping into your eyes, this is my first Sleek eyeshadow palette and it's called sunset. Pigmentation is amazing as you can see on the swatches. Those are actually quite wild colors for me, but I have tried some combinations on my eyes and I liked the results. I also love the packaging, it's very slim and sturdy, great for traveling.

I love trying new Slovenian products. This time I've got bath salt from the brand called Lepa Vida. I put a hand full of salt into my bath, because I tend to have problems with salt water when I go to the sea, that way I'm slowly preparing my skin for the salt. It also smells great, you can pick between different scents, mine is mediterannean. Next one is a must! I'm talking about SPF. There's a lot of them on the market, but I always tend to pick a high one. Mine is Yves Rocher Protectyl vegetal 50+. It works great for my sensitive skin and I don't get sunburned while using it. Anothes must in summer is body moisturizer. You don't want to have dry skin while wearing shorts, don't you? Currently I'm obsessing over Soap & glory the righteous butter. It's made for very dry skin, which skin on my legs sure it. I'm in love with the smell. I want a perfume that smells like that, anyone knows if it exists?

Batiste dry shampoo comes in handy on the days when you just can't bother to wash your hair. It refreshes them and makes them look clean.

Schwarzkopf GLISS hair repair oil is a great product to use on your hair after a long day at the beach. My ends are very dry, so I like to spray a little bit of this oil on them. It also helps me brush them easily.

Another SPF related item, this one is for my face. It's Clinique face cream (SPF 40). For covering up my acne I have been using Rimmel stay matte liquid mousse foundation and pressed powder non stop and I'm obsessed. I just need to get mousse foundation in a lighter shade, but that one's ok for summer. To set my foundation I love using L'occitane pivoine sublime perfectiong mist. It does it's job great in the heat, when my foundation would normally melt of my face. Lastly, there has to be a candle. This one is Yankee Candle Sun & Sand. It's a tropical beach breeze of sweet orange flower, lemony citrus, fresh lavender and powdery musk.

Alessandro VIVA LA DIVA - Aloha Le NOTD

For the first time I've got an urge to paint my nails in bubblegum pink colour. Luckily I own just the right shade. It's Alessandro - Aloha Le, from Viva la Diva collection. I liked it so much on my finger nails that I had to paint my toes with it aswell. It's not a colour that I usually would go for, but it's perfect for the days that you want to feel a little bit more girly.
I had to put on three coats for full opacity.
