Recent favorites

I usually don’t do the list of favorite products, but sometimes you need to do an exception. Some of them are so famous and multi-time reviewed, so I didn’t even bother to describe them fundamentally. All of them were great summer companions, so for all I can say that are heat proof and highly recommended.

Balea beauty effect under eye gel patches

I wanted to try some kind of under eye patches so badly and when I found them under drugstore brand I was so excited to try them. I mean prices of this stuff can be really up there and claiming about efficiency has no limits. I didn’t expect some kind of professional results, but just something to relax my under eye area. Mission accomplished! These patches have a long lasting cooling effect, which means that it lasts for the whole 20 minutes you have them on. This is surprisingly good for a budget, drugstore item. Patches are a bit thicker, rubber like and there’s no concern to tear them so easily. The only ˝problem˝ is that the line of where the patch was is visible for quite a long time after use, so you’ll still need to use a concelaer to fix this. I believe there’s a bit of plumping effect, but it’s not drastic. Cool way to cool down. (3x2 patches for 4,50€)

Anastasia Beverly Hills clear brow gel

This saves me every day and makes me look more put together. My brows can be a real mess and this is the only fixing brow gel so far that works for me. I will surely buy this again. The price is not inviting and I’m not sure just yet how long does one tube lasts. (Beautybay.com, for 19,80€)

Too faced Chocolate Bar eyeshadow palette

Do I need to write anything about it? I always thought that expensive eyeshadows are not so better than drugstore versions, but I was so wrong. I can toss every eyeshadow I own and live just with this palette. Beautiful selection of useful colors, great packaging and smell approved by chocoholic. The only things I use rarely are the two highlighters inside.  (Debenhams, around 45€)

L’oreal Miss Baby Roll mascara

I’m not a big fan of mascaras. It can often irritate my eyes and I don’t feel so comfortable wearing it, I’m always afraid of the tears in my eyes and consequently smearing. One day I decide to give this one a try and I was pleasantly surprised. It curls my lashes beautifully and gives them length and volume. I just miss that separation part, which seems to be very rare with my purchases. Anyway, it didn’t let me down during hot summer days and it’s easy to remove. I’ve still got one problem with it; it can somehow feel heavy on my lashes, so I wear this just occasionally. (Müller, 9,90€)

Revlon HD gel lipstick in ˝Sand˝

This was impulsive and unplanned buy, but it turned out to be a good one. This lipstick feels almost like lip balm, it is quite long lasting and very comfortable to wear. I feel lipsticks on my lips and they can bother me, but this is lightweight. I choose nude, sheer color, very work appropriate. Color can be a bit uneven, so if you’re sensitive about it, you probably won’t like it that much. Since it feels so good on the lips, I’m tempted to buy another, bolder shade. Maybe something out of my comfort zone. I took it with me on trip to London and was a very good travel companion; it survived flights and warm weather. It has the same taste like Revlon’s melted lipsticks and very practical, sleek packaging (Müller, 11,90€).
