Pozdravljene !
Kar nekaj časa je minilo odkar sem govorila o parfumih. Ker sem prejela zapeljiv parfum v tako čudoviti embalaži, ga enostavno morem predstavit tudi vam.

Ta toaletna voda je opisana kot "Čutna dišava z nepričakovanim preobratom". V primerjavi s prejšnjimi različici (007 For Women) ta odkriva bolj ženstveno plat z nežnimi notami. Skratka je skrivnostno zapeljiva dišava, ki skriva ženstvenost.

It's been way too long since I've talked about perfume. Even though I forget a lot of the times to wear it, different scents can change up your mood. This one definitely has more of a sexy, spring vibe to it.
Description: "007 for Women is a fresh, daytime companion to the classic and mysterious evening scent, 007 For Women. This new Oriental Floral Eau de Parfum is lighter yet deeply feminine with notes reminiscent of Pink Champagne which capture the true spirit of the Bond Woman."

Price (za 30ml): around 25€

Hello.

Another two and a half months have passed and it's time to show you what I used up ! To be honest I'm not totally satisfied and I should use more products ! Though I keep Lush products in a separate bin for an upcoming blog post (get a bit excited!).


Garnier Pure - Deep Pore Wash (face scrub)

Balea Professional Repair + Pflege Conditioner

If you're looking for a cheap hair conditioner, I recommend you this one. It felt really nice on the hair, not too greasy but it's thick and very nourishing. Also you can buy a travel sized one like I did.

Repurchase: maybe

Not sure if you know what this was (google it or visit Lush website). It's a soft, play-dooh-alike product which acts as a soap, shower gel, shampoo or bubble bar. You can also wash clothes with it. I used it for bubbles. You can get a lot of baths out of one Fun. This one was Christmas edition and it smelled like Honey I wash the kids/hair and It's raining men shower gel. Nicely sweet, like caramel. So I smelled nice too when getting out of the bath.

Repurchase: maybe

This one is always nice. It does the job and keep you "stinky-free" for a looong time ! Also it doesn't leave yellow marks. It's still a bit white though.

Repurchase: yes

Rexona Anti-perspirant Invisible black + white

I really liked this deodorant & it did a great job. Also I liked the smell (a bit better than other ones). The only problem I have with Rexona spray deodorants is that they are so strong when you spray them - I almost choke on them.

Repurchase: already have

Borotalco Invisible Spray Deodorant

Not my favorite one. It does the job, though it can leave white marks. When you spray it, you can choke on it - it is so strong. It just didn't impress me because it didn't give me enough protection either.

Repurchase: nope

Fresh & Clean Make-up Cleansing Wipes - Sensitive

Senza Intimate Wipes

These were quite cheap but really handy. Though they weren't wet as any of the other ones I've tried so far

Repurchase: maybe

Afrodita Cosmetics Make It Perfect ! Refreshing Face Mask

A nice refreshing mask which also can work against a few imperfections.

Repurchase: maybe

Duchesse Intimate Wipes

I really like these. They are wet enough and nicely calming. I use them mostly during that "time of the month"

Repurchase: yes

Duchesse Maxi Cotton Pads

These were really nice to remove my makeup. Soft but sturdy and big enough to cover the entire face. Still I'd rather use smaller cotton pads because sometimes that's enough even for both eyes and with this big one I felt like I used up half of it and then threw it away.

Repurchase: maybe

Caudalie Lip Conditioner

Eventhough I mostly love Caudalie products, this one was just a bit dissapointing. Texture was quite waxy and it didn't feel moisturizing. 

Repurchase: no

L'Occitane Hand Cream - Vanilla Bouquet

After using almost a whole tube of this hand cream I realized that actually I didn't like it. Shea butter is supposed to sink into the skin quickly while hydrating it well but my skin was not moisturized enough. It was nice because it wasn't greasy but no, not moisturizing enough. I have other hand creams which are far better.

L'Occitane Fleur D'or & Acacia Perfumed Soap

This was definitely a perfumed soap. Smelled a bit floral, but not over-powering. Though it was nothing special on the skin. Used it for hands and cleaning my brushes as usual.

Repurchase: nope

Živjo !
Končno spet objava o izdelkih, ki so me razočarali. Sicer zelo rada govorim o izdelkih, ki so mi všeč in so me navdušili, vendar skušam pri vsakem najt tudi kakšno napakico. Včasih pa mi nekateri izdelki žal res ne ustrezajo. Vsaka koža, lasje ter preference so drugačne, zato ni nujno, da vam ne bi ustrezali. In četudi me nekateri izdelki razočarajo, jih poskušam porabit, saj jih ne rada mečem v koš.

Avon Cocoa Butter - Lip Butter
Naslednja je krema za roke, katero sem sicer na blogu že omenila. Čeprav mi je všeč gosta tekstura, ki se hitro vpije v roke, pa žal ne daje dolgotrajnega učinka. Uporabljala sem jo po večini pred spanjem in zjutraj sem se vedno zbudila s suho kožo na rokah. Prav tako, takoj po uporabi nisem imela občutka izredne navlaženosti. Rekla bi da je super za v torbico, ker ni mastna, ampak za to ceno bi pričakovala kaj  več. Ta vonj je po vaniliji.

I'm not sure if I've mentioned this one before. Usually I don't have problems with mascaras since my eyelashes are not high-maintenance, however this one has a horrible packaging and brush. The hole is just too big and when you pull out the brush, there is too much mascara on it. Bristles are thick and coated with too much mascara which leaves me with spider lashes. Though I use a different brush to separate them afterwards, it's just too much hassle. Only good thing is the nicely volumizing formula.

Last but not least...Probably the most deceiving product. This one is supposed to be translucent, but oh no, it literally looks like a light bronze powder. I don't know how is that logical...When I put it on my face it makes my foundation a bit darker which I don't like at all most of the year. Nowadays I use it to set my concealer under the eyes when it's looking a bit too pale. And ofcourse I use it in the summer when I'm not as pale. I'm pretty sure you can't even get this powder in a proper light shade. Also I prefer Rimmel Stay Matte powder much more. This Max Factor one seems to be a bit heavy on my skin.

Živjo punce !
Danes vam skupaj s podjetjem Amway predstavljam spomladansko navdihnjeno kolekcijo ličil Artistry Signature Color™, ki vključuje ličila za oči in lica v čudovitih barvnih odtenkih pomladnega prebujanja. Seveda pa smo poskrbeli tudi za vas, saj bo ena lahko preizkusila njihovo črtalo za oči.

Hi girls !
Today I'll show you a few bits from new, spring inspired Artistry Signature Color™ collection. It includes some eyeshadows and blushes in gorgeous spring colors, as well as an eyeliner.

Pomlad je čas za mikavne poglede, razigrane mežike in frfotanje trepalnic, ki jih bodo nežno obarvana senčila za oči naredila še lepše ter zapeljivejše. Več odtenkov Artistry Signature Color™ ponuja bogato izbiro: za brezhiben dnevni videz izberite senčila v barvah naravnega sijaja ali bronastih nians, ki odlično sovpadajo s sončno zagorelimi trendi, v večernih urah pa začarajte s kombinacijami nežne zadimljenosti, očarljive vijolične ali rožnato čokoladne ter dodajte svojemu pogledu občutek mističnosti. Žametno gladke formule v prahu z mat, sijajem ali kovinskim končnim učinkom.

Moje mnenje:
Prejela sem paleto senčil v bronastih odtenkih (Spiced Bronze). Sicer bi za te bronz, zlate odtenke rekla, da so precej poletni, vendar so izredno lahko nosljivi čez celo leto. Senčila so zelo dobro pigmentirana in na dotik malce kremasta. Ob uporabi čopiča pa tudi izpade kar nekaj prahu. Na vekah se zelo enostavno zabrišejo in nimam nobenega problema z nanosom kar je super. Tako dosežem bronz, zadimljen izgled v nekaj sekundah. Obstojnost pa je tudi odlična. Skratka lahko rečem, da so senčila zelo dobre kvalitete.

This eyeshadow quad in bronzed shades, is called: Spiced Bronze. It's perfect for spring/summer, however wearable even all year around. They are all shimmery and very pigmented. Texture is quite "creamy", however there is a bit of fallout. Application is easy and blending is effortless. So it's great even for beginners. Within just a few second, you can achieve a beautiful bronzed, smokey eye look .Also they last for a whole days with just a bit of fading. Of course I always use an eyeshadow primer. All in all, it's a high quality palette.

Poudarjena lička so tista, ki sooblikujejo linije vašega obraza in poudarijo vaš nasmeh. Artistry Signature Color™ svilanto gladko rdečilo za lica omogoča mat ali svetleči končni učinek in dopolnjuje vsako vrsto polti. Na voljo sta breskov ali nežno rožnat odtenek ter z zlato obarvanim sijajem; uporabljena tehnologija, ki odseva svetlobo, pa bo poskrbela za osvetlitev naravnih potez vašega obraza. 

Moje mnenje:
Prejela sem tudi rdečilo v odtenku Soft Rose, s fino teksturo. Rdečilo ob nanosu na obraz ni izredno pigmentirano, vendar mi je to všeč saj tako ne moreš nič zafrknit ter ni potrebnega popravljanja ob močnem nanosu. Se pa zelo enostavno nadgradi v kar intenziven odtenek. Ker gre za svetlejši rožnat odtenek, deluje zelo pomladno in koži podari svež videz. Obstojnost je zelo dobra in z mojega obraza na koncu dneva ne zbledi skoraj nič.

Priporočena maloprodajna cena izdelkov v kolekciji ARTISTRY SIGNATURE COLOR™:

Paleta senčil za oči: 40,35 €

Rdečilo za lica: 22,67 €

Škatlica: 19,76 €

Artistry™ izdelke, ki jih proizvaja podjetje Amway, je mogoče kupiti ekskluzivno preko nosilcev posla Amway (NPA). Za več informacij obiščite: http://www.amway.si.

Da pa ne bom sama preizkušala to pomladno kolekcijo, bo ena izmed vas prejela dolgoobstojno črtalo v grafitnem odtenku.

Črtalo za oči poskrbi, da oblika in barva oči izstopata ter pritegneta pozornost, ki si jo zaslužita. Amway je oblikoval dolgoobstojno črtalo za oči, ki s kremno formulo omogoča gladek nanos, brez razmazovanja. S črtalom na eni strani in gobico na drugi boste lahko ustvarile raznolike linije - od natančnih obrisov do dramatičnega videza za večerne dogodivščine. Odtenki: črni, rjavi, vijolični ali grafitni.

Živjo punce !

Danes vam bom predstavila novo "škatlico" na tržišču. Namenjena je tistim dnem v mesecu oz. kar lepo povedano: za čas med menstruacijo. Če nimaš časa ali pa preprosto pozabiš kupiti vložke in vse druge pripomočke, je to zelo priročna zadeva. Če izbereš Premium ali Ultimate paket, pa dobiš še darilca za razvajanje, kar mene osebno najbolj pritegne pri tej škatlici, saj nikoli ne veš ali ti tisti dan ravno zmanjka čokolado, ko ti hormoni divjajo in je polom. Seveda pa se punce rade razvajamo, zato je v teh večjih paketih priloženih kar nekaj super darilc.

Nadomestni Fant - do 25 vložkov/tamponov po izbiri

Premium Paket - do 25 vložkov/tamponov po izbiri + vsaj 4 dodatki za razvajanje (kar sem tudi sama prejela)

Ultimate Paket - enak kot Premium paket, samo da si izbereš do 40 vložkov/tamponov.



Najprej sem seveda zagledala čokolado (katera je popolnoma po mojem okusu: mentol mmm), Skittles bonbone (uh že dolgo jih nisem jedla in so prav pasali) ter 6 vzorcev čaja Tekkanne, ki pridejo prav, da pomiriš svoj trebušček. Sicer v te Slim variante ne verjamem ampak so bili kar dobri, zeliščni. In pa še 2 elastiki za lase v stilu Invisibobble,



Za malce razvajanja so dodali tudi milo s prijetnim sadnim vonjem (čisto zame!) ter Hello Kitty robčke.

Sledi še nekaj nakita. Zapestnica s srčkom je tako minimalna in čudovita ! 

In še nazadnje, kar je najbolj pomembno v tistih dneh v mesecu: vložki/tamponi. Sicer so za uporabnice menstrualne skodelice obljubili, da bodo tudi v tej smeri kaj naredili, kar se mi zdi lepo.

Sama sem izbrala:

5x vložki Jasmin normal sensitive

5x ščitniki perila Jasmin slip flexi 

5x tamponi Jasmin

10x tamponi o.b. Original

Čez dan uporabljam tampone, hkrati pa se rada zaščitim z dnevnimi ščitniki perila. Med vikendi in ponoči pa uporabljam vložke. Vsi intimni izdelki so lepo zapakirani in zaščiteni v vrečkah.

Sicer pred tem izdelkov Jasmin še nisem uporabljala, ampak so malce bolj naravni kot Always ter so slovenskega izvora. Želela sem jih preizkusiti in sem z njimi popolnoma zadovoljna. Edino kar mi ne ustreza so vložki Jasmin, ker so precej veliki in neudobne oblike. Vseeno se mi zdi super, da imaš tako vsaj možnost preizkusit več različnih izdelkov.

Moje mnenje:

Škatlica je zelo priročna za tiste, ki ne marate nakupovanja vložkov ali pa preprosto pozabite na nakup (tudi meni se je že zgodilo in potem panika, ko ti vse zmanjka..). Še boljše pa je, če uporabljaš točno takšno "zaščito", ki jo ponujajo: O.B. ter Jasmin. Sama pa nisem takšen sladkosned, vendar se mi vedno zgodi da se mi vsaj en dan v tistem "tednu" zlušta kaj sladkega in se mi ne da it iz udobja doma. Morda se vam ta škatlica ne splača tako zelo, ampak, če si prikrajšaš pot do trgovin, je morda vredno. Plus, če imaš rada še kakšne lepotne zadeve je potem to škatlica 2 v 1 in se mi zdi zelo uporabna. Sam koncept se mi zdi zelo super in še boljše bi bilo, če bi katero izmed punc tudi presenetil fant s tole škatlo :)

Pozdravljene.
Tokrat bom govorila o čiščenju obraza z dvema izdelkoma bolj naravnega izvora. Znamka Bocassy se zavzema za uporabo ter ozaveščanje o dobrinah ekoloških sestavin za naše telo. Sicer ima znamka v samem imenu: "Paris" , vendar so izdelki narejeni na Hrvaškem. O njihovem serumu sem že veliko govorila (ocena in omemba), prav tako sem preizkušala nočno kremo. Njihove izdelke pa sem do zdaj našla samo v drogeriji DM. Pred nekaj časa so lansirali 3 nove izdelke: Anti-age serum ter dva nepogrešljiva izdelka v rutini obraza, ki ju bom predstavila danes. To sta: micelarna voda ter tonik.

Hello lovely readers.
Today I'm going to talk about cleansing products by a brand Bocassy. Their products are made to provide quality and care not only for its consumers but consciousness too. Their ideas conjuncts ecology and charity, awareness on ingredients and that which is best for our body and our planet. Products are made in Croatia. I've talked a lot about their serum (review here + also mentioned here). Also I tested their night cream. Not that long ago in Slovenia they also brought out 3 new products: Anti-age serum and two which I'm going to talk about today. 

Hi girls.

From myself I know, having oily skin can be really annoying. That's why through the years I found some skincare and makeup that keep that shine at bay (well as much as they can). I know each skin might react different, however I hope you'll find some products in this post that you haven't tried before. I use these makeup items on daily basis (only sometimes I skip L'oreal primer). So if you've ever wondered what's on my face: those are these items.

Živjo punce !
Tokrat bom govorila o izdelkih za "nadležno", mastno kožo. Ja, to je moj tip kože in vedno iščem kaj boljšega, kar bi oljem preprečilo, da se kopičijo na koži. Seveda jih ne moreš zatreti, jih pa lahko uravnavaš ter prekriješ z različnimi izdelki. To sama poskušam z naslednjimi izdelki, katere uporabljam skoraj vsak dan (včasih preskočim L'orealov primer). Torej, če vas je kdaj zanimalo kaj je na mojem obrazu, so ti izdelki.

Vichy Normaderm Anti-Imperfection Hydrating Care

As it goes for my skincare, obviously I don't like to mattify my skin at night. Nor do I want to use harsh drying toners or face washes. So, this is the most important product in my morning skincare routine. This is a hydrating cream which absorbs into the skin quickly and is balancing the sebum, so you don't get oily quickly. As for anti-imperfections aspect, I can't say that it makes any difference on my skin. I'd say Total Mat version (which I'm not sure if it's still available) works the best, however this one is nice too, especially (was) for colder days. I've tried many mattifying creams but this one is the best for me.

Skozi leta sem spoznala, da moji koži ne ustrezajo agresivni čistilni geli ter matirajoči toniki za obraz, ker ji lahko izsušijo povrhnjico. Še vedno kožo dobro očistim z izdelki za normalno kožo, vendar zjutraj vedno sledi najbolj pomemben korak v moji negi: matiranje obraza z Normaderm kremo, katera pa hkrati deluje lahkotno vlažilno. Izmed vseh krem za matiranje katere sem preizkusila, sem se vedno vrnila k tej. Sicer se po 3 urah začnem precej svetit, ampak nobena krema ne deluje na mojem obrazu tako dobro kot tale. Nisem pa prepričana, če še vedno obstaja Total Mat različica (ocena tukaj), katera mi je bila še malce boljša od te ! Torej stanovanja ne zapustim brez te kreme na obrazu, tudi kadar imam "no makeup" dan.

L'oreal Infallible Mattifying Primer

This was my recent purchase and ever since I got it, I've been hooked on it. Even though I use a mattifying cream, sometimes I wait for few minutes so that it absorbs nicely and my skin still needs a bit more mattifying effect. The texture is liquidy but when blended it feels like a velvet. It works nicely, plus it makes your makeup glide on easily.  Though I can't say that it prolongs the wear of foundation. As much as I'd like to also try foundation from this line, you can't get the lightest (Porcelain) shade in my country. So, I'll leave it on my wishlist for now.

Naslednji izdelek sem nakupila nedavno nazaj (nekje 3 tedne) in me je kar kmalu prepričal. Čeprav uporabljam matirno-vlažilno nego,  pustim da se krema vpije, nato pa vidim, če potrebujem še malce matiranja ne določenih predelih. Ta izdelek ni le dober za matiranje temveč je super podlaga za ličila, saj se puder nato lažje nanese na kožo, ko je ta izravnana. Tekstura primerja je tekoča, bazirana na silikonu, ki pusti žameten občutek na koži. Ne morem pa reči, da mi podaljša obstojnost tekočega pudra Iz te linije bi zelo rada preizkusila tudi tekočo podlago, vendar je pri nas ni na voljo najsvetlejšega (Porcelain) odtenka. 

Revlon Colorstay Foundation For Combo/Oily Skin

Believe it or not, I've been using this foundation for almost 6 years. Yes, it's that good ! While some hate that it lacks a pump, I really got used to it (and hurray, they invented a pump not long ago! - but it's not available in Slovenia yet). So, what's so great about it ? It has an amazing coverage which is great for those days when you want to cover up everything (still you can sheer it out for everyday use). But mostly i love the staying power on oily areas. It lasts all day long. The effect is quite matt but it keeps the shine away for a few hours. I get shiny but not oily after 4 hours, so it doesn't melt off which is most important ! You can kind of feel it on your face after a few hours but it's better than feeling oily and gross. It can clog your pores a bit, so I try to clean my skin as much as I can and let it breathe a few days per week.

Ta tekoči puder je moj najljubši. Uporabljam ga že nekje 6 let, uf. Vem, da ga nekateri ne marajo, ker nima pumpice ter ga moreš preprosto zlit ven, ampak meni je to čist vseeno (so pa pudru dodali pumpico, vendar ne vem kdaj bo na voljo pri nas !). Kar mi je najbolj všeč pri tem pudru je kot prvo: prekrivnost, ki je srednja do popolna, seveda pa ga lahko za vsakodnevno uporabo zabrišeš na rahlo. Kot drugo je: obstojnost, ki traja celoten dan. Drugi pudri z mene dobesedno stečejo, vendar ta ostane na koži, čeprav si čez dan tu in tam tudi "napudram" obraz ter odstranim olja. Učinek je precej matirajoč in omogoča, da olja ne pridejo prehitro na vrh kože. Torej se ne svetim tako hitro. Seveda se po nekaj urah občuti na obrazu, vendar imam raje to, kot pa da občutim vsa olja na koži, ko se počutim že ogabno. Sicer je možno, da pore malce zamaši, ker je tekstura precej gosta in malo težka, zato si po celodnevnem nošenju dobro globinsko očistim kožo ter ji pustim dihat vsaj 2 dni na teden. 

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder

This has to be the cheapest pressed powder I owned. Prices vary from 3-5€. The packaging is a bit cheap, but if you're careful with it, it should last you a long time. The powder is not too powdery, so it there's almost no fall out. On the skin it is not heavy and has a nice mattifying effect. It just looks nice on the skin. I'm sure there are quite a few better products out there, but not for this price. With a combination of Revlon Colorstay foundation, my makeup looks flawless even after 4 hours. I get a bit shiny but I powder my face after around 6-7 hours.

Ta izdelek je pa res tako poceni. Gre za matirajoč, dolgo obstojen puder v kamnu, katerega uporabljam za zaključek makeupa oz. fiksiranje + matiranje. Cena je nekje od 3-5€, odvisno od spletne trgovine. Embalaža je res bolj poceni in plastična, vendar sem se naučila, da skrbim zanjo, da se puder ne zlomi prehitro. Tekstura pudra je fina, ne preveč pudrasta in prav tako se ne drobi naokoli. Na koži pa ustvari matirajoč učinek brez težkega občutka. Meni je všeč obstojnost ter videz na moji koži. Seveda ni najboljši puder v kamnu, vendar je boljši od drugih sploh v tem cenovnem rangu. S kombinacijo Revlon tekočega pudra je makeup na obrazu po 4 urah še vedno na svojem mestu, le malce se svetim. "Napudrat" se morem mogoče po 6-7ih urah, ko so olja že na vrhu.

CadeaVera Anti-Shine Mattifying (Blotting) papers

I'm sure not a lot of girls use these. They can be funny when using in public (in bathrooms) but I don't care. First of all, when you get oily, you can't just blot your face with a pressed powder all the time. The oils will not absorb or get anywhere else other than stay on your face covered with the powder. So that's when these papers come in handy: you press one onto the oily area and push on it with fingers. After that you can see the oils on the paper and just throw it away. I use 2-3 on the whole face and then use a bit of powder. They are really great when you've been out for a whole day and just want to freshen up. Plus they're cheap. I buy mine from Müller (their brand - around 2 € / 50 papers) + Essence and other companies make these.

Zadnji korak so papirčki za matiranje oz. vpijanje olj s kože. Verjetno jih kar nekaj punc ne pozna, ampak so tako zelo priročni za čez dan. Na javnem wcju sem seveda velikokrat doživela smešne poglede ob uporabi teh papirčkov, ampak mi je čisto vseeno. Najprej naj omenim, da ko se olja naberejo čez dan na koži, jih ne moreš kar prekrit s pudrom v kamnu/prahu, ker jih seveda prekriješ, na gobici ali čopiču pa se ta olja nabirajo. Tako pridejo v upoštev ti papirčki. Preprosto vzameš enega in ga pritisneš na predel kjer je koža sijoča ter mastna in takoj absorbira olja s kože. Po potrebi uporabiš več papirčkov, jaz pa jih potrebujem nekje 2-3 za T-cono. Šele nato včasih uporabim puder v kamnu, ki bo uravnal izločanje olj. Izredno jih priporočam, ker je uporaba enostavna in res delujejo. Dodaten plus je cena, saj svoje kupujem v drogeriji Müller (okoli 2€ za 50 papirjev), prav tako pa jih izdelujejo tudi znamke kot so Essence in podobno.

---

All in all, I really enjoy using these products, however I need to warn you that ofcourse in the summer my makeup melts off easier, when I sweat.

To so izdelki, ki jih sama obožujem na dnevni ravni, vendar vas morem opozoriti, da se mi poleti seveda ličila vseeno hitreje stopijo z obraza, saj je tudi meni vroče in se potim ob groznih temperaturah.

Hi girls.

Don't judge, I spend some money this month on products that I really wanted (DM also had some nice coupons). Plus, Essence came out with a beautiful collection for spring, so I had to pick up many makeup items. Next month I'm definitely going to try to limit my purchases. I totally forgot to take pictures of just a few bits, so I'll include them in next month's haul. Also this month I decided to skip the PR products because you'll see them mostly on my blog or instagram anyways.

Catrice All Matt plus Foundation - 010 Light Beige

This one has been on my wishlist for a long time. I didn't purchase it simply because I had a few backups of my Revlon Colorstay and some other foundations to use up. I hope it's going to be great.

L'oreal Infallible Mattifying base

This one is supposed to lock in shine without any discomfort. Plus the only ingredients are: CYCLOPENTASILOXANE and DIMETHICONECROSSPOLYMER. So it's a simple silicone based primer. I'd say it's not a miracle worker and nothing can stop oils from bursting through foundation onto the skin, however I really like the velvety feeling and how it prepares the skin for application of foundation.

Essence Brush Cleansing Spray

A very handy product. Usually I wash my brushes with a solid soap, but in between washes I always needed something to give them a quick wash, so I thought this one would be great. Haven't tried it yet, though.

Balea Bath Stick (kokos/coconut)

This one smelled nice so why not, it was only 0,99€. And yes, I'm kinda obsessed with bath products at the moment.

Deborah Radiance Creator Highlighting Concealer - 02 medium

I already have a fair one, but because it's so light (great for highlighting), I also wanted a darker shade. It definitely isn't a corrector, so you need something underneath your eyes which would counteract any blueness or such, however it is a really nice light-weight concealer which illuminates slightly. Perfect for spring and summer.

Ebelin Make up + concealer brush

This one is probably a bit of a fail purchase. You definitely can't apply foundation with it, which initially I thought I'd do - too stiff and you can't circle with it. However, it's great for concealer. I like buffing my concealer in with this brush.

Essence TE Wake Up Spring !: Lip Balm & Lipstick Pen (01 Hello Sunshine!)

I bought lip balm just because it smells really nice ! The lipstick pen is a really nice natural, peachy shade - not too orangey or anything ! I don't own any like this one.

Batiste Dry Shampoo (for blonde hair)

CadeaVera Anti-bacterial face wipes

Lush: Bunch of Carrots - Reusable bubble bar & Ladybird bubble bar

And the best purchase of this month goes again to Lush. I just loveeeee how these two smell !

I featured Lady Bug in my Mother's day Beauty Gift Guide.
