Love It Right Now: Cacharel Amor Amor Forbidden Kiss

I did already mention how I really don’t have any clue when it comes to fragrances and I really don’t think there will be any change about that since I’m not doing anything about it but, it doesn’t mean I can’t share my favorite fragrance at the moment.

I probably would never check this beautiful bottle if my friend didn’t show it to me and well, I’m glad she did. This is the only fragrance I’m using at the moment and what can I say – I’ve received only compliments thanks to it. The thing I love about it is how mysterious it is but yet it’s noticeable. Don’t know if that makes any sense.

You favorite fragrance at the moment is…?

Victorian Disco Cosmetics <3

I discovered Victorian Disco Cosmetics few weeks ago and since I love testing new products I had to ordewr a few samples :) Here’s what I got though I didn’t took any swatches because there was no proper light for that. Sorry. But at least you can see some colors I got and I’ll try to swatch everything as soon as possible!

Terra Naturi Makeup?

Today I went to Muller drugstore and I noticed that they now have new makeup brand – Terra Naturi (it’s actually Muller’s brand). I decided to pick few products so I could test them. They are affordable though their product range isn’t large – few shades of eye shadows, foundations, blushes, etc.

I was surprised with foundations range – there are 4 of them but they seem quite light and they have both shades for pink and yellow undertone which isn’t really often. I was also surprised to see makeup primer so I picked it right away. I will be testing it these days.

What I got:
- mono eyeshadow in 02 mulberry (24,90kn / $5)
- blush in 01 pink kiss (29,90kn / $6)
- primer All In One (31,90kn / $6.30)

Have you noticed this brand in your Muller drugstore?

Lush Stardust <3

Lush Croatia on their facebook page had 50% off sale on some products where you could get on the list with whatever you chose and then pick those products in one of their stores. I decided to get the Stardust gift box. It contains 7 products: Space Girl, Angel’s Delight, Candy Mountain, Snow Fairy Wand, Snow Fairy Gel Shower, Shimmy Shimmy, Bubblegum Lip Scrub. I think this is a great way to try their products!

Enjoy my photos!

Garnier Nutritionist Detox Deep Scrub Cleanser Review

For the past few months I’ve been using this face scrub and this is one of those rare scrubs which I want to re-purchase. But, let me start from the beginning. Those who follow my blog probably know by now that I have combination skin but these past few years it has changed quite – my T zone is less oily and I have more problem with my skin getting drier and drier on cheeks for example. So, it’s really hard for me to find appropriate skin care. That’s why I’ve been using a regular moisturizer all over my face and serum for extra hydratation.

It’s been easier to pick a face scrub though sometimes not even that. I do have some demands which perhaps aren’t easy to stand up to so it’s hard to find one which would include all of them, but this one is pretty close. I do expect from a face scrub to do its job properly and to have effect on my skin, I don’t want some surface scrubing. I want to feel that my skin has been scrubed proprely, but not to rough and I don’t want my skin to be red all over. Okay, there is some redness with this one, but moderate redness is okay for me. This scrub has micro cells which are a bit harsh so I would not recommend this to someone with sensitive skin. On the photo above you can see how it actually looks like. I scrub my face for about 10 seconds, or so, I avoid eye area and definitely dedicate a bit more to my T zone. I use it once a week.
After I remove it I really feel like my skin is alive, if I can call it that way, and beside that it also feels soft and elastic. I apply my skin care routine as usual, especially now when I fell like my skin needs some extra care and to calm my redness too. The thing I really like about this scrub also is – the smell of it. This whole product line has an awesome smell which I love.

Since I’ve purchased it a few months ago I’m not sure about the price anymore, but I think it is approx. $6 for 150 ml. I recommend it to those with combination and oily skin. I think it will work for you.

Which face scrub do you use? Have you tried this face scrub or anything else from this product line?

Femme Fatale Cosmetics Order

Few days ago I’ve seen a post about Femme Fatale Cosmetics and swatches at Phyrra’s blog and well, I decided then that I was going to order some colors so I could try out FFC products. Lately there are more and more sites which offer free international shipping on sample orders only and I have to say that it is a great opportunity to try out new products without any extra costs.

In my 1st order I got 10 samples – 8 eye shadows and 2 blushes. Here are my picks:

Shooting Stars, Haunt

Smokebomb, Space Cow

Wrath Baby, Unholy

Divinity, Inscribe

Exotic, Rebel (blush)

For now there aren’t too many shades to pick from but I do like their current colors. How do you like these colors I picked?  :)
