Back to Lancôme

My previous foundation ran out and I was looking for something new. Instead of picking something new, I went to back to my old favorite Lancôme Teint Miracle.

I have been really disappointed with my previous foundation and I felt I needed something that I knew that would work. Teint Miracle has served me well. There is nothing particularly amazing about it, it just works. It is light, spreads really nicely and does not clog your pores. It is not super thick, which I really like about it, however it does cover any imperfections and makes your skin smooth and glamourous. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about it.

Also got the Lancôme loose poweder. I have never used loose powder before, been a compact powder girl for all my life. So it was a bit difficult at first since I had no clue what I was doing. But I think I got the hang of it in the end. The important factor is to have a really fluffy brush and gently brush the powder all over your face. As a pleasant surprise I found that loose powder really sets your make up on and makes it last longer. 

Do you prefer loose powder or compact powder? Or do you use both?

Clinique craziness

Hello all you beautiful people! Dont' you sometimes feel like you want to pamper yourself. I mean, when you go to the drugstore and you just need one thing, one tiny thing but then you see a bigger thing and you are like "oh wau that looks pretty, I have to have it". You are allowed to do that sometimes, aren't you? 

Anyway I had one of those random shopping moments. I went to get something entirely different, something I really needed and instead ended up getting a set of stuff. 

I got the Clinique eyes set.

The set includes a lovely pink make up bag, all about eyes eye cream, eye cream de-puffing roller and mascara.

I have all ready praised the all about eyes cream in my previous post and this time I will have to continue with the same line. Still loving it! The eye roller was a new experience to me. I do not know if actually does any difference as in de-puffs your eyes. However it feels really good and refreshing on those really stupid days when waking up is just too painful or when your previous night ended few hours ago :p

The mascara is tiny and cute. As I have said before I don't think one should spend a lot of money on a mascara as I feel you can get the same result with cheaper versions as you can with expensive ones. Even though the mascara does not trickle any big desires or feelings in me it is conveniently small and I can actually carry it with me in my make up bag.

So how you doing? Have you splurged on anything this month?

Long time no see & big news

First of, I am so sorry for not updating and completely ignoring my lovely readers. However I have been extremely busy planning my future. I am going to keep it as a secret for now but I will tell you that something big is going to happen this fall :)

Cheers! Hope everyone had lovely Valentine´s Day!

Jewelry Jewelry

Further into my k-pop obsession... I just had to get some new bling bling. 

I am all about gold, rings and crosses nowadays. *Sigh* It is so sad how such little things can make so unbelievably happy ....

All items from Asos. Go figure...

Redken, save my hair again

Oh don't you just love the little pun there that I came up with. Yes, I am so funny and charming... Anyway... I have had some issues with my hair lately (well I have had issues with it all my life, but who has not) and since winter is knocking on the door, which means really dry and drizzled hair, I decided it was time to change my hair products. Previously I have been a devoted fan of Aussie products but lately they have not been working as good as before. Maybe it is due to the fact that your hair can actually get used to products and hence they stop giving the same effect or... I just imagined it and just had to come up with an excuse to buy new beauty products :D

On my last visit to the hair dresser, she used Redken products on me which I quite liked since they made my hair so much smoother and smelled really good as well. She gave me some sample products and after squeezing the life out of them, I had to get the real things.

I got the Redken All Soft Conditioner and Shampoo. Now the price of these babies is no joke, I think I paid something like 60 euros for them. But the result is really nice. It truly smoothens my hair, makes it soft, much easier to comp and handle after shower (my hair hates water...) and of course gives it a really nice smell. I am not going to say that they have somehow changed my life and made it better, maybe little bit easier. I would say that overall  a good investment and definitely worth the try.
