Garnier NEO deodorant review

Hello lovelies! I've been using this deodorant for a few months now. I find it perfect for me.

Though it's really hard to pick a good and suitable deodorant. There are so many of them in marketing. But most of them are harmful and not effective. Still it's possible to find the right one. 

When I bought this Garnier NEO deodorant I thought that it's not harmful at all, but later I found out that it has aluminum. However, it's alcohol free. 

This deodorant is actually a cream which moisturizes armpits and leaves them soft. Deodorant doesn't irritate armpits. You can use it after shaving. Also it doesn't leave marks.

The package is very handy. You can easily carry it in your purse. Easy to use: gently squeeze the tube and cream will come out through these holes on glider applicator. Apply the product to your armpits. Do not apply too much!

There are five scents of this deodorant (Fruity Flower, Fresh Blossom, Shower Clean, Soft Cotton and Fragrance free). I've tried only two of them: Fruity Flower and Fresh Blossom. I definitely want to try others.

I highly recommend this deodorant. It can surely solve your problems. I promise that you won't be disappointed if you try it.
Have you ever tried this product?

I Love... Raspberry&Blackberry body butter review

Hello lovely readers! How are your bellies? Mine is so full! Every holiday my mum prepares so many delicious meals and I can't resist not eating them. Oh well, less about food, more about a product.

I got this amazing I Love... body butter, so I wanted to share my review about it.All I Love... cosmetics have incredible scents. If I could I would literally eat it. They have all these different body care products in various flavours. These products are budget-friendly in great quality.My body butter flavour is Raspberry&Blackberry. This scent is so fruity. When you apply it to your skin it feels and smells like yogurt. Body butter nourishes and moisturises skin and leaves it soft.

It  contains:

• Coconut oil. Helps your skin stay hydrated and soft

• Shea butter. Gives your skin vitamins E and D, phytosterols, provitamin A and allantoin.

I assure, that you won't be disappointed if you try this product. Its smell will charm you. 
Maybe you've already tried this body butter? What do you think about it?

Love, S

Happy Holidays!

Hello Christmas lovers! Hi to those who don't like this holiday. 2 days left until Christmas! I'm very excited and happy. Though tomorrow we celebrate Christmas Eve. Relatives will gather around in our home to have a dinner. We have this tradition to serve 12 meatless dishes and you have to try each of them. They symbolize 12 Apostles and represents the 12 months of the year. Every year, during this supper I overeat, because you need to taste every dish for good luck. I know this may seem weird, but we are used to this tradition and it's a normal Christmas Eve to us.

What are yours Christmas Eve's traditions?

I want to say few things to you. First of all, I wish you all Happy Holidays. I hope that Santa Claus will be generous to you. Believe in Christmas miracles and they might come true. Secondly, spend some time with your family, show them how you care. Sometimes we don't realise how much closest people mean to us. Even if you are mad at someone, find forgiveness in your heart and simply forgive that person. Christmas is the time when you reunite with your friends and family. This holidays brings everyone together no matter how far away they are. Let's follow this tradition and be with our closest people.

Love, S

  

Christmas earrings

Hello my dears! Exciting news: 3 days until Christmas. I bet you knew that, but just in case I wanted to give you a heads up. I have wrapped all of the presents and can't wait to give them away for my family and friends. Somehow giving and buying presents to others I like better than receiving them. I would be lying if I'd say that I don't like getting them. Of course I love presents, but it feels so good when you cheer up someone with your gift.

About two weeks ago I looked through my earrings and found these festive ones. They got me into Christmas spirit. I've been wearing them since.

Little golden reindeers and snowflakes are from H&M. I bought them when I was in the Netherlands with exchange program. They were only 1 euro. Owl earrings with diamond eyes and green belly I got from my best friend. I love each pair of earrings. All of them are cute and christmassy. 

What festive earrings you like to wear?

Love, S

Last minute Christmas DIY: Candle Holder

Hello lovely readers! I apologise for not writing, I've been busy with my school work this past month. Now when school is finally over, I have time to blog and get ready for Christmas. Only today I found time to decorate my house for my favourite holiday. Decorating my environment gives me a lot of joy. When everything is done it looks cozy and festive.

Now I am sitting on the couch and can not help admiring these decorations.

I came up with this adorable candle holder myself and thought I could tell you about it. It's super easy and quick to do. If you're getting ready for Christmas late like me, this DIY should help you.

You need:

• Hot glue gun
• Jar
• Roll of red stripe
• Scissors 
• Candle

1. If a jar has a sticker, you need take it off. Then cut a piece of your stripe so it fits around the top of the jar(I folded my stripe in half and glued it together, because it was too wide). Now simply glue this stripe on the top.

2. Now, out of the same stripe make a ribbon as big as you want.

3. Glue your ribbon with hot glue gun to the stripe you glued before.

4. Put a candle in and light it up!

Done! Told you it was easy. Send me a picture if you try this DIY. Hope it was helpful.

Love, S

Bourjois 123 PERFECT CC cream

Hello lovely readers! Lately I've been using this CC cream by Bourjois. This foundation is way better than BB cream. It's perfect for everyday using if you don't like foundations which feel heavy on your skin. I prefer light-textured foundations as BB and CC cream.  

This CC cream has three basic features(that's why it's called '123 PERFECT) :

• It covers red blemishes and other redness on your face
• It reduces fatigue
• It hides dark spots 

What is more that this product doesn't dry out your skin. When you apply this foundation it feels smooth and nice. Also it has SPF 15. After a long day you still look and feel pretty good.

NYX eye shadow review

Hello there! I always wanted to try NYX cosmetics. I thought that these products are of good quality. And just recently I  bought this gorgeous eye shadow by NYX. My expectations were proved right.

The eye shadow is in a shade Champagne and it actually looks like it, but it also has this fair brown tone. What I like about this colour is that it has glitter and looks shiny on the eyelid. Though it gives this natural look, but it's perfect for everyday makeup routine. For example if you are not allowed to put a lot of makeup at school or you just don't like using dark eye shadows, but you still want to look pretty this eye shadow is perfect for you.Also the eye shadow lasts for a long time and it's full coverage eye shadow. I'm pretty happy with it and I'm using it almost every day.

Have you ever tried this eye shadow?

Hello lovely readers! Happy winter! Just one month until Christmas. The most wanted holiday of the year. I'm already in my so called 'ugly' Christmas sweater and I feel festive. Christmas spirit is in the air!

This is my autumn/winter outfit. Uggs make it seem like it's winter, but the hat reminds me of autumn. The necklace makes it a bit fancy. Basically it's a simple outfit for a chilly day outside.

Bourjois Intense smoky eye shadow palette

Hello lovely readers! I recently bought some new make up products. One of them is this fabulous eye shadow palette by Bourjois. Basically this palette has 2 eyeshadows and 1 liner. You can create an amazing ombre look or intense smoky eye effect. Also you can use every colour separately. 

Liner is in a colour dark brown. You can create a nice winged line with it. Great choice if you are too lazy to use normal eye liner. The first eye shadow is in a colour burgundy brown and the second one is in a pretty rose gold colour. Both eye shadows has glitter. When you apply just the light eye shadow to your eyelid it looks simple, but gorgeous. I thought it would be a nice look for Christmas time.

To create intense smoky look:

1.Apply the rose gold colour on the entire eyelid to illuminate.

2.Intensify with the burgundy brown colour applied to the outer corner of the eye.

3.Use the eye liner to outline the eye contour. 

Inside the palette besides liner and eye shadows there is this tiny double-ended and easy to use brush. On one end it has liner brush and on the other - foam brush.

If you are interested the whole palette is in a shade 61 Rose twiste.

The Body Shop mini body milk and shower gel

The Body Shop body care products are by far my favourite ones. Every thing in this store has special features. 

What I love about these two products is their amazing coconut scent. You can literally melt from that smell. By the way coconut is my favourite nut. I guess that's why I like this smell. 

You can also use this body milk as a hand cream. It hydrates normal to dry skin and leaves it soft and smooth. Also this mini travel package is comfortable to carry around in your purse.

Basically shower gel has similar features as body milk.

Have you ever tried these products?

Love, S

Feels like Christmas

Hello lovely readers! Last weekend my mom and I went to the cinema to see The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1. Even though it wasn't as interesting as first two movies, I enjoyed it. I'm not going to spoil details, but it's really worth watching this movie. I've read all three Hunger Games books and I loved them. The third movie is a bit different than a book.

The shopping mall we went to was already decorated for Christmas. I got very excited when I saw this huge Christmas tree and gave my mom my iphone to take a picture. Christmas gives me joy and happiness! Such a beautiful holiday.

Have you seen The Hunger Games Mockingjay - Part 1? Did you like it?

Pineapple Mask

Hello! Last week I bought this facial mask for a good price. I think it was about 2 €. I saw it in brochure and I guess what attracted me is that this product is with pineapples. To be honest I have an obsession with this fruit. At first I thought it's too cheap to be good, but I took the risk and bought it. Now I'm pretty happy with it.

This enzyme - activated moisturising mask revitalizes radiant skin. Pineapple extract and exfoliating AHAs clear away dulling skin cells. Renews and refreshes skin. This product is perfect for every skin type.

How to use it: Apply face mask to face and neck and leave for 5-10 minutes. After that, rinse with warm water. You can use this mask two times a week, but if you prefer you can use it often. It doesn't irritate and leave your skin dry.

I like this product because of it's light texture, nice features and amazing scent.

Autumn favourites

Hello lovely readers! Today we had our first snow. I kind of feel that the winter came despite the fact the snow didn't stay. To remember autumn I thought why not to write top things I liked during that time of a year. 

Autumn is such a nice season when you can wear cozy sweaters and listen to Sweater Weather song (my all time favourite song, especially when it's autumn). 

This autumn was different. Many times I wore this nice checked blouse with peter pan collar. Peter pan collars are a bit old-fashioned, but they look adorable and I like clothes with them. I bought it from Primark for 9 €.

Next thing I've been loving is my checked scarf. I have it for 2 years now and I'm still in love with it. This scarf is like a big warm blanket and I absolutely love the pattern. I bought it from Zara, but I don't remember the price.

Let's not forget about shoes. When I was in Primark I accidentally saw these creepers shoes only for 5 €. I grabbed then and thought why not to try wearing these strange shoes. They looked a bit strange to me, but I ended up liking them.

Last but not least is the hat. I wanted this kind of hat so bad, that my mom made me a surprise and bought it from H&M. The hat is chic, but simple.

These are things I've been loving this autumn.

  

What you've been loving this Autumn?

60's beauty and fashion

Hey lovely readers! Time to time I like to look through this book by Jim Heimann. I'm telling you it's perfection. I don't know why, but I really admire this book. It gives me inspiration. Sometimes I just can't imagine how fashion developed and how these trends keep coming back. For example, baseball shirts, dresses and sweaters were popular in 60s and recently this trend came back. It's just so fascinating for me. 

Basically this book is filled with different 60s fashion and beauty ads. It's not a regular book. It reminds me of magazine. So when I'm in need of inspiration I take this book and read few pages.

I like how Maybelline is presented here: "Maybelline specializes exclusively in everything to make eyes beautiful". Fun fact: in 60s there was solid mascara, cream mascara and magic mascara(our regular one). I guess solid and cream mascara was used by my grandmother when she was young.

Highly recommend this book for fashion and beauty lovers. Also if you're crazy about magazines this book is for you!

Have you read this book? What is your opinion about it?

Nail care

Hello lovely readers. I wanted to share with you about my nail care. I don't spend a lot of time taking care of my nails. When I go to school I don't use bright colours. But still I want my nails to look nice. I usually paint my nails with base coat nail polish or some kind of nail stronger. Recently I found this nice nail polish with gel effect. It's not a gel polish, but it gives that look. I don't recommend doing real gel nails. That special nail polish can really damage your nails.  

My favourite nail stronger is "Nail Nurse" by Rimmel. Perfect choice if you want to recover your damaged nails. It strengthens and protects nails. Also gives natural pink colour. Painted nails dry very quickly. 

My second favourite stronger is by Nail System. It is also a great nail product. But this one doesn't have a colour. So I like "Nail Nurse" better.

Top coat nail polish by IBI is on a pricey side, but quality pays off. It gives this shiny look and dries basically the moment you paint your nails.

Have you tried these products? What do you think?

Love,S

   

Cozy evening

Hey lovely readers. If there are some. So I just got back home from drama class. It was a long day. Well, every Monday is like that. One great thing on Mondays is my drama class. It's the place where I can express myself and let my emotions out.

And right now I'm back, all tired and excited to watch new episode of Once Upon A Time. I love watching TV series. I watch tons of them. I get tied up with characters and their lives. 

At the moment I'm obsessed with pomegranates. Such a yummy fruit. So I took pomegranate, made cocoa and found a milk snack with coconut in the fridge. It's nice to get cozy and spend an evening like this. 

I think that's it for today. Thank you for reading. 

How do you like to spend your Monday evenings?

L'Oréal Elvital dry oil hair treatment

I've been using this L'Oreal product for a year now. I am not a person with flawless hair. I have weak and very thin hair. Also the end of my hair is pretty damaged. If wasn't this product my hair would've been a disaster. 

This dry oil has a very light texture. It gives your hair a nice shiny look. Hair looks prettier and healthier. This hair treatment makes your hair soft and lovely.

Basically you wash your hair with the shampoo you use and then spray a little bit of this dry oil on your wet hair. But it's also possible to use it on dry hair. It's just then you need to dry your hair with a hair dryer, because you don't want your hair to look oily!

I like the package of this hair product. Spray bottle is very easy to use.

Have you ever tried this product? What do you think about it?

Also, for those who suffer from hair loss or coarse hair there are oil treatments. And the fascinating thing is that you can make them your self! Read the article if you are interested in the natural hair repairing:

Rimmel lipstick by Kate Moss review

 A lot of people are in love with these Rimmel lipsticks, but mainly with red colours. I decided to try this lip product in a different colour. I took this nice peachy colour in shade 32. Amazing colour for those who don't like bright lip colours. I love that this lipstick can stay for a long time. You can eat and basically do anything. Also feels smooth on my lips. Good quality lipstick in great price. I highly recommend to try it. Tell me about it if you do.
