August favourites

Hello everybody, today I'm back with my favourites post. September is nearly here, so it's time for my august favourites. I must confess I'm very happy for summer to be over, because I think in Slovenia every summer is hotter, which I hate. And also, september is my birthday month and this year it's a round one. My husband and I also celebrate our wedding anniversary in september, so you can see why this month is probably my favourite. But let's not skip ahead and go back to august.

I'm one of those lucky people that sweat a lot, and ultra high temperatures were just added bonus). This year I tried Borotalco deo roll on for the first time and they really were a life savers. I tried invisible and intensive ones and I like intensive one best. It has a nice scent which I was able to smell through the whole day. I have no idea why, but my hair got really dry, so to give my ends a little moist I'm using Melvita argan oil. At first I thought it will be too oily and my hair will get greasy, but if you add a small amount (I add 1 pump) it's perfect. My favourite nail polish brand is still Essie and for the summer I like to go for a bit more colorful shades, this one is California coral. When I first saw this L'oreal miss Baby Roll mascara I had to take it and I ended up loving it. I was using it every single day and I just ran out of it. I will repurchse it.

Matte liquid lipsticks are very in at the moment and when Kylie released her famous lip kits, many brands did the same and Primark was no different. While walking in Primark in Galway I saw this one (it comes in a set with lip pencil for 4€). It dries very quickly but it leaves a nice feeling on the lips. I love it's staying power since it stayed on my lips for 8 hours. I threw away the box so I can't tell you the shade of mine.

 For remoning my make up I started using Bioderma micellar solution for the first time. I tried a lot of different ones and since I tried this one I can see what thee hype was all about. It removes make up almost effortless. For treating myself under the shower I'm currently using Lush The Comfoter shower cream which has a yummy blackcurrant aroma.

 I love the concept of "make your own palette" and I was very happy when essence brought those out. I created myself this palette with two matte  and six shimmery shades. As you can see one of them have a little accident on a plane. I love their colors, their pigmentations and they also last a long time. It's certainly my most used palette.

And onto the last item, Yankee Candle shea butter meltcup for my scenterpiece. This scent is amazing, it's creamy, powdery and in my opinion appropriate for everyone. I prefer those meltcups as opposed to regular waxes, because it's earier to switch between scents.

LUSH Sleepy losjon za telo

Zadnji teden je zunaj pravo jesensko in zaspano vreme, zato sem se odločila, da danes z vami delim svoje mnenje o losjonu za telo - sleepy. Lush vsako leto izda božično kolekcijo, katere del je letos  tudi ta čudovit losjon za telo. Mene je najprej pritegnil s sestavinami. Če ste ljubiteljice sivke, tako kot jaz, vam priporočam, da ga stestirate, dokler je še na voljo.

Poleg sivkine vode vsebuje tudi tonko, ki mu v kombinaciji s sivko da božanski vonj. Sama ga najraje uporabim pred spanjem, saj me vonj sivke vedno pomiri in lažje zaspim. S hladnejšimi temperaturami, so se mi začele pojavljati težave s suho kožo na telesu, sploh po nogah, po uporabi tega losjona pa je le-ta dobro nahranjena, zahvaljujoč kakavovemu maslu. Pri Lushevih izdelkih mi je vedno všeč, da je vonj dolgo obstojen in na pidžami ostane še nekaj dni.

Kupiš ga lahko v vseh Lushevih poslovalnicah ali v njihovi spletni trgovini tukaj.

Sweet vanilla

 Hey ladies, long time no read, huh? Sorry about that, I hope I will make it up to you with this extra sweet post featuring my favourite spice - vanilla. I really enjoy doing themed posts, so I deicided to dig into my drawers and search for anything valilla-ish that I love. First thing that poped into my mind was, of course, Twinings vanilla black tea, which has been my favourite tea for almost ten years. I always have on my tea shelf. I drink it without sugar and with a dash of milk, yummy!
Next is Loyd strawberry & vanilla tea which is a new adition to my tea collection.
When I'm drinking tea I love to burn candles, one that go great with vanilla theme is Yankee Candle - Vanilla Cupcake. I smells so good that I always want to eat it!

Now to body care products. The one that I'm really fond of is Afrodita Vanilla cream shower gel. Firstly because it's an amazing products and secondly becasue Afrodita is a Slovenian brand, which I adore.This cream shower gel is very rich and it feels great on my skin, plus it's smell is to die for. I really recommend you to try it out. After shower I like to moisturize my body with Lush Vanilla Dee - Lite body lotion. I like it because it absorbs quickly and it has a light consistency, but it still manage to give my skin the moisturization it needs, especially in colder months. I really like the smell aswell. And the last product on my vanilla list is L'Occitane Vanilla Bouqet hand cream. It has a thick consistency so you really don't need a lot of product for one use. I love L'Occitane hand creams, because I feel like they really makes my hands softer and moisturized. 

New in # 31

First category is eyes related. I couldn't resist this gorgeous Catrice palette (LE kaviar gauche). The packaging is very nice and will be a pretty accessory for my future vanity table. Sadly the pigmentation is not very good. Next is essence eyeshadow - 17 no cream, no sugar. It's matte brown color which I use to fill in my eyebrows. I also got essence make me brow - 02 browny brows, and I must say that this is an amazing product. I also pick up a new mascara, it's Deborah divine volume & curve and Rimmel scandaleyes waterproof kohl kajal - 005 nude.

Next up, lippies. First is Alverde - 30 dominant pink, it's a limited edition, so grab it while you still can. I really like the packaging of this one aswell. I also get my first Rimmel lipstick - lasting finish by Kate - 105. Next is my favourite lip product, L'oreal Extraordinare - 102 Rose Finale. This is my second lipstick and definitely not the last. I know a lot of people were raving about Rimmel Apocalips lip lacquers, so I had to get one. Mine is 304 eclipse and I really like it, I just hate the smell of it.

I have already written about this little gem here. It's Lush Cosmetic Warrior face mask and I finally repurchase it.

I really did splurge on Rimmel, didn't I? I also got  Stay Matte pressed powder and mousse foundation. I absolutely love them both and I use them every day. Next is essence  highlighting powder (Cinderella TE) - 01 the glass slipper.

It's time for some blushes. This time I've got three. I haven't used essence blush (Cinderella TE) - 01 so this is love and essence blush  (Brit - tea TE) - 01 tea-rific garden party yet, but I have been using Alverde blush - 20 lolli pink every day and I love it.

Last two items are Dove shower gel and Rimmel Salon pro Kate nailpolish - 703 rock n roll.

Recent favourites

There's been a while since my last monthly favourites post, so I named today's post recent favourites in which I will show you few products that I have been loving recently.

First is my beloved Lush Cosmetic Warrior face mask, Sadly I have ran out of it, but I'm planning to repurchase it as soon I will go to Ljubljana. Next are two liquid foundations, first is L'oreal Infallible and next is Revlon Colorstay. When applying a foundation I usually mix both of them at the back of my hand. Together they give me a great coverage and a nice dewy look. Underneath the foundation I always apply moisturizing cream,, at the moment I'm using Green Line HydroMineral.

My nails looks pretty bad so I haven't been using any nail polishes. I just painted them for easter with Essie - mint candy apple. My most used eyshadow palette is currently Catrice Absolute Rose, it have six shades (two matte and 4 shimmery) and they are all in different shades of pink and purple. To finish my eye look I have been using L'oreal super liner blackbuster. I find those pen liners really easy to use. Puma Flowing and Moschino Pink Bouqet were the scents I sprayed on the most for the last few months. I have also started wearing earrings more often, I got those peral ones in New Yorker.

I have had some problems with my laptop and I was without it for a couple of days, so I had plenty of time to read, I finnaly got my hands on Girl Online, written by famous Youtuber Zoella (Zoe Sugg). While reading it I was burning Yankee Candle White Gardenia. And of course, there's no easter without Milka eggs, which I get from easter bunny every year.

Lush Cosmetic Warrior review

On today's menu we have a very special product. I will write about Lush fresh face mask named Cosmetic Warrior. My friend recommended me this one, claiming to be great against spots. At first I thought I would hate is, since it's main ingredient is garlic, but don't let that scare you off. I'm not a big fan of garlic myself but I was willing to try this mask anyway. It also contains egg whites, honey and tee tree oil. You get 75 g of product for 10,54€ buy here.

 The salesperson in the store told me to use it once a day for a week, so I can see how my skin react to it.  I have been using it for almost two weeks now, and so far I love it. As you can see from the picture below, my mask is almost gone and I'm sure I will repurchase it. I love that it really cleanses my face, especially my pores. Since I started using it I noticed that I have less spots and my skin become softer and less oily.

The one negative thing about it is the smell, I doesn't really smell of garlic, but it still isn't very pleasant one. It is also very hard to rinse it off. I normally put it on my face 10 minutes before going to take a shower and rinse it off there. Overall it is a great mask which I will gladly add to my nighttime routine.

My valentine's day essentials

The most romantic day of the year is approaching, that's why I wanted to share with you some of my favourite products at the moment, which I will use on valentine's day. I usually don't celebrate it, but I still want to look nice for my dear.

My favourite category is pamper and perfume. I'm in love with Lush Snow Fairy. I own shower gel and massage bar. I feel like this scent instantly puts me in a good mood, no matter how bad my day was. Sadly it's not available in stores at the moment, because it's a part of christmas limited edition collection, but I hope it will be available again in december. My favourite perfume at the moment is Moschino Funny. The scent is very fresh, on the contrary of what I usually like, it's not even wintery scent, more of a spring one, but that doesn't mean you can't use it throughout the whole year.

Makeup wise, I love new L'oreal Infallible foundation. It's a bit too dark for me, but that can be fixed with pressed powder. Next is I Heart Makeup palette I Am Sexy, perfect name for that day am I right? And of course there's no valentine's day makeup look withouth red lipstick, mine is from brand Manhattan.

I will finish the look with my new black blouse with white hearts from New Yorker and a chunky statement necklace. Every year I paint my nails with essence glittery nail polish which also contain little hearts.

December beauty haul - new in #28

In december I spent a lot of my money for gifts, but I still manage to buy some bits and bobs for myself, because I reeeeealllly neded all of this :)

Lush - Snow Fairy shower gel
Lush - Father Christmas bath bomb
Bomb Cosmetics - Cotton Candy bath bomb

Those three products are totally up my alley, because they have a sweet scent. Especially Snow Fairy, which smells like bubble gum. I also love the scent that stay in the bathroom after showering with it. I haven't used any of those bath bombs, but I think I will soon, because they both look very tempting.

 I have always wanted to try out Cowshed products, but they are too expensive. I was so happy when I found them on sale, so I went a little overboard with my purchase. I've bought myself  Knackered Cow relaxing body lotion, Saucy Cow softening conditioner, which I have already tested and I love it so much, I think I will order myself a few more bottles to have them in stock. For my hands I got Cow Slip hand cream. So far I really like all of them. I have to say that the scents are not for everybody, because they are all natural with essential oils, but I love them. With my purchase I gor a free sample of Steamcream. Company Le Couvent des Minimes also sent me a pack of their samples.

Jessica  Sass & Sparkle - 855 Show Stopper nail polish

Essie - jiggle hi jiggle low nail polish, which I'm planning to wear on new year's eve

Essence - like a bad girl fragnance

Essence Come to town - 02 Naughty or nice? quattro eyeshadow

Deborah Milano red laque lipstick - 7
Garnier micellar cleansing water

My Christmas wishlist

Naked On The Run Gorenje blender Clarisonic Mia 2 Click2chic beauty box Lush lip scrub Lush christmas collection Benefit the POREfessional primer

I put together a collage of a few things that I really want. Of course as I grow older the things I want the most can't really be bought, but I still have some things on my wishlist. I think that you can never go wrong with Lush products. They have some really cute bath bombs in their new collection. I really like Snow fairy sparkle, which is actually a shimmer bar that smells great. I really like sweet scents so I also like Candy mountain bubble bar and The christmas penguin which is so cute. My lips would appreciate Bubblegum lip scrub, because they are not in the best shape during this cold weather. Next thing is probably on most of your wishlist, it's Clarisonic Mia 2 face cleansing brush. I know it's a bit pricey, but my face needs it! Next thing is also for my face, Benefit the POREfessional primer, I think you all know that this is a must for those of us with bigger pores. I have always wanted to subscribe for a beauty box, but they were never available in Slovenia, so imagine my happines when click2chic announce their brand new beauty box. I actually already ordered it, but I think my brother will go to the post and pay for it and gave it to me as a christmas present (Tim, hint hint^^). Now the thing that my parent agreed to get me, it's new blender from a brand Gorenje. We have one at home, but it's pretty old, so I would love to get a new one with sharper blades. Last thing is probably something that have been on my wishlist forever. My dear was probably sick of listening to me going on and on about Naked palletes, so this year he deicided to get me one. I'm still deiciding between one of the three eyeshadow palletes or their new on the run one. Help? Which one would you pick?
