Yet another expensive list

Welcome to May! A brand new fresh month also means a great excuse to make yet another wish list of things that recently caught my attention. And this is also my birthday month, so I can splurge a bit more. No?

Let’s start with something puffy and blue- Pinko Quilted Nappa leather flat bag. This looks fancier than your usual everyday bag but can be totally worn on many occasions, even if you just go grocery shopping. Why not? Dark blue is gorgeous, very fashionable, and would pair nicely with a plain T-shirt and jeans or your favorite spring dress.

Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Lumiere eye and cheek palette – it is that time of the year again and Estee Lauder is out with another Bronze Goddess collection. This palette surprised me because it is not that warm and bronzy. I love that they also included cool-toned shades and that way it is more versatile. I don’t like the ˝cheek˝ part in the middle, I think it is not practical- I mean how can you reach it with a face brush? Anyway, this palette looks stunning and comes with gorgeous packaging, so I think it is worth checking out.

The product I’m definitely getting is ˝On the download˝ by Essie, because I need yet another lavender-blue nail polish with shimmer. This polish is part of their Cyber Society collection and looks amazing in swatch pictures. So excited!

Here the big expensive elephant hiding in the middle of the picture – Dior Solar Hydrating and Refreshing After the Sun balm. There is always something magical about expensive luxury brands. We all want to smell like those rich ladies relaxing by the pool somewhere on the French Riviera. Well, this balm supposedly smells like a luxurious vacation, so… I think it would be great for after-workout pampering… just saying.

Let’s move up now to earrings. I love green and I also love leaves, so this is a great combination. These are silver, so it means that are not so expensive. I’m just not sure about the size because bigger is not always better. The earrings are part of Lencia collection by Zlatarna Celje.

Another item from Eastee Lauder, which was released last year, but is still available – Bronze Goddess Nuit fragrance. I tried this a couple of times and really loved it. There is nothing nocturnal about it, it is florally fresh, uplifting, and contains coconut notes. Original Bronze Goddess can be heavy for me, but this is very pleasant.

Because I love the body oil from the Karma collection by Rituals, I also want to try other products from the range. They are very pleasantly but not heavily scented, which I like and this line smells like tropical flowers. I also enjoyed their Sakura collection which contains rice and cherry blossom. Ok, now I want everything.

Relaxation before sleep – watching beauty YouTube channels

(taken from: Tati Westbrook Instagram)       Glam Life Guru - Tati Westbrook Tati from L.A. is my favorite ˝YouTuber˝. Her channel was first which I subscribed to and watched regularly. I found it by coincidence, when I was searching for… you know something. She posts videos every work day, so she is very involved in this YouTube thing, I would say it’s her primary occupation. She recently launched her makeup line, she collaborates with Amazon and some magazines.  I believe her reviews are honest, although things are often sent or given to her. Her descriptions, tests, comparisons and swatches of products are very good. Her videos look very professional. They are also very versatile, from testing the most ridiculously expensive products to the cheapest ones.   She mostly filmes in her (new) beauty room, once a week she’s testing how new makeup items perform during running errands. And those kinds of videos I like to watch the most. Recently her fia...

Lego: Bouquet of Roses - Botanical Collection

It was Sunday after lunch and I enthusiastically concluded that it was the right time to open my new set of Legos. The box waited for me for three weeks now and I was ready. Because when you are an adult, and you know exactly how much you paid for your Lego set, you want the timing for your ˝play˝ to be just perfect. Bouquet of Roses  was released was released in February, just in time for Valentine’s Day. It captured my attention immediately. I always look at Legos also from that practical site of aesthetics. Does this look good? Is it something I can keep on my shelf as decoration? Will it only look like clutter? You get the point. So yes, these roses looked lovely and I bought them for myself.  This set includes 822 pieces, arranged into 6 packs. The whole building ¨process¨ is divided into three parts. At the end you'll get 12 Roses (3 different types) and 4 branches of Baby's Breath. I believe it took me three hours of slow building and just chilling with some old music i...
