New in # 30 pt. 2 (clothes) + OOTD

I went shopping last week with no intention to buy something. But you know how that goes, if you really need something, you won't find it and when you are broke, you find tons of items you like. This time I picked this gorgeous top in C&A and really comfortable and light trousers in Kik. I love those two pieces because they  are both very light, ideal for summer. Today was very sunny and also very warm, so I decided to wear this outfit for a quick bike ride to the pond near my house and for an ice cream. I also wear my H&M necklace and sandals from some random shoe shop.

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.

New in # 30 pt. 1 + giveaway

Hair:

I will soon ran out of my beloved Lee Stafford my big fat healthy hair shampoo & conditioner. They are a bit pricey (around 8€ each), so my mom was kind enough to buy them for me. She also treated me with L'oreal Elseve shampoo & conditioner. My old Tangle Teezer was in pretty bad shape, so I get myself with new one. I adore this hair brush and the fact that it doesn't have a handle doesn't bother me anymore. You can order it  here.

Face:

I stopped counting my L'oreal Micellar water bottles, I keep repurchasing this one, because it works great for me. Krasna is Slovenian brand which makes natural products based on lavender  This face tonic is my first product from the brand and so far I like it.

Other:

Bourjois Rouge edition Velvet are probably one of the most hyped liquid lipsticks at the moment. I luckily found them on sale and got myself two shades, 07 Nude-ist and 02 Frambourjoise. Their finish is matte and they are extremely longlasting. Chloe is a perfume that has been on my wishlist for quite some time. For me it was always too expensive, so I never got a chance to add it to my collection. Since me and my fiancee have started wedding planning I decided that this is a perfect opportunity to get a statement scent for our big day. I ordered mine here. Last item is a gift for one of you (slovenian reader). Click to my FB page to find out how you can win this models OWN - chrome mauve nailpolish. 

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.

Ready for spring?

In my country the winter is comming to an end. I love winter, but I also like spring. I love it when the season changes because that means new wardrobe and new beauty poducts. In today's post I will show you some od my spring stash. Those are just some of them, because I didn't want this post to be too long. I'm thinking about bringing back monthly favouites posts, how would you like that?

Let's stat with good smelling items. First is Yves Rocher GREEN TEA eau de toilette (purchase here). Lately I tend to like fresh scents more than those sickly sweet ones. I think fresh ones are great for spring and summer, I will be using this one non-stop.
Next is Ma Provence orange blossom shower gel. I actualy already started using it and I love the scent very much.
Yankee Candle Aloe Vera (purchase here) is very nice and fresh scent. I like it because it's not too overpowering. It's a part of their new spring collection, wich in my opinion is great, I like every scent in it. More about the whole collection on my friends Živa blog here.

 Essie - fiji is probably the most popular shade amongst beauty bloggers, I thik that almost every beauty blogger in Slovenia own one, so I have to follow the trend and got it for myself. I think this one is great for everyday use because it's very natural. The shade mint candy apple is one of my favourite. It's this perfect mint nailpolish that everyone should own. I really like my pastels in spring as you can tell.
Essence lash princess false lash effect mascara is a new mascara from essence. I'm really impressed by their mascaras because they are great and cheap too.

 Catrice CO1 Apricoco matt lip colour is very pretty orange/coral/appricot colour. I steppet out of my safe zone with this one a bit, and I'm glat that I did, because I really like it and I know I will wear it a lot.

The last is the product that I'm most excited to feature in this post, it's my beloved Urban Decay NAKED 2 palette  (purchase here). This one has been on my wishlist since it first came out. The shades are great for either daytime or nighttime makeup looks. I love the facts that it has matt and shimmery shades. I would love to own other two palettes, but this one is the one I know I will use a lot because the shades are totally up my alley and the fact that it also have a black shade won me over even more. The palette comes with the brush, wich is actually pretty great and a set of eye primers.
