What's on my nightstand?

Not so long ago my fellow blogger Ana Ina wrote a post about a content of her nightstand and since I got mine for my last birthday I will show you mine aswell.
As I said, I've got mine for my last birthday, my dear got it for me at Jysk. I know it doesn't go well with my bed at the moment, but we are planning to get a new bed in black anyway. If you have ever set a foot into my room you know that it's everything but minimalistic. I have a lot of things and I like to have them visible and somewhere I can easily reach them. That's why my nightstand is quite cluttered. Thankfully it has one small drawer where I can fit some bits and bobs. But more about the drawer later.

On the nightstand I keep Balea hand lotion, I love this one with a pump because it's super easy to use. Next is I love.... body lotion which also have a pump and smells delicious. Speaking of delicious, I love my H&M lip balm, it's very moisturazing and huge, so it will last you for a while. Of course there has to be a candle, this little one is from Primark. In this cupcake I keep some throat lozenges, because I often have a sore throat in the winter. Tnx to my very romantic fiancee I have those gorgeous tulips. There is also a light, it's a must and a framed picture of us. Most of the time there is also a cup of tea.

In my drawer I keep another hand balm, this one is from Essence. I have two feet creams, one from Afrodita and the other one is from Hansaplast, this one also have a warm effect. In here there are two things from Nivea, the most famous one is this universal cream in blue tin and the small one is a lip butter. I (well my dear) uses Johnson's baby oil for giving me massages. There is also a lighter, some wet wipes and a hair tie.

I hope you liked this post:) Have a nice evening/day!

My night time routine

Hello lovelies. Today I will write about my night time routine - cleaning my face. Given the fact that at the time I have very problematic skin, I had to establish some routine to really clean it well. Most of the days I try and not wear any make up, but when I do, I wear a lot of it, so I must take some time and clean it all off at night.

I start with removing my make up with a combination of micellar water/solution and cleansing milk. I pour some of it on the cotton pad, at the moment I'm using those big oval ones from Primark, and attempt to remowe all of it. For the eyes I use a little bit more and just hold the pad on eye for about 15 seconds, because mascara and eyeliner can be hard to remove. At the moment I'm using Garnier and Afrodita micellar water, my favourite is from Loreal, but I ran out of it. My cleansing milk is also from Afrodita.

Next step has recently become my favourite. When I started using face brush I realize how much make up stays on my face after the first step. Before that my second step was just washing my face with a gel, like you normally do, face brush just make it easier for you and also clean your face better. I haven't been using it for that long, so I can't say if it has done anything good for me, but after using it, my skin feels very smooth and nice. I started using it mainly because I have quite big pores and I hope I will manage to make them smaller. I use Braun face brush wich is soft enough for my sensitive skin full of acne. I have been using La Roche - Posay Effaclar foaming gel for quite some time now and I love it, the only thing that bothers me is the smell.

Next step is toning. At the moment I'm using Nivea pure & natural cleansing toner, it's okay, but I want to try out something else, any reccomendations?

The last step is aplying cream. This cream is very oily and has a consistency of a wax so I have to apply it on a damp face. It takes a little more time to absorb, but I really don't care about that at night. I bought that cream in summer in Greece, it's made for problematic skin and I must say that my skin likes it.

July and August favourites

Firstly I want to mention two brands, Makeup Revolution and I <3 Makeup. They are new in Slovenia, you can find them at Ličila.si. I'm not sponsored to say this (I picked and bought all of the items myself), I geniualy love their products. First is Makeup Revolution The matte effect foundation - Cool Ivory, which works for me, since my skin improved a bit. It's coverage is light to medium, perfect for summer. Next is the I <3 Makeup triple baked blusher - Blushing hearts with the prettiest packing in the shape of heart. It has a shimmer in it, which until recently I didn't like in blushers, but now I'm converted and I love this one to pieces. Another constant in my make up kit for the past two monts has been I <3 Makeup - Go! Palette, which consists of a bronzer, blusher, highlighter and six eyeshadows (one is matt and five of them are shimmery). The pallet is very handy when you are on the go, because you don't need to carry around a lot of different products. I really like eyeshadows, they have great pigmentation and they don't crease, which is great because I normaly have problems with creasing. A bit unusual colour to paint your nails with in summer is black, but I have been wearing it quite a lot recently. I used Essie - licorice. Who doesn't like to feel refreshed in the shower? I love... Minty Choco Chip shower gel is perfect for that, even my fiancee likes to use it. And again among my favourites, Yankee Candle - Summer Scoop. I just love this scent so much that I can't get enough of it. My lips were in a bit more natural shade with a help of Essence lipstick - 07 Natural beauty. In summer I like to smell good so I try out some deo sprays. This year I love Nivea anti perspirant pure & sensitive. And to top that off I spray myself with Puma - Flowing toilet water. Last item is Essence (Aquatix LE) mini powder brush which I carry with me in my bag all the time.
