Dior Solar The After- Sun Balm

I’ve been really into body products and body care in general lately. Not entirely sure how this happened, but my vanity is now full of body oils, self-tanners, and scented creams. I just want to try everything at once. So a fancy version of after the sun balm was my next logical step to take, especially because I discovered it around my birthday.

Dior Solar The After-Sun Balm is a part of the skincare and sun protection line from the house of Dior. And if I’m not mistaken it is relaunched and updated every spring. The line currently includes several products for sun protection, self-tanner and already mentioned after-sun balm.

For me, this is summer in a tube. It smells heavenly, very similar to Guerlain’s Terracotta perfume. This scent is a bit more refined and not as sweet, but very close to that one. It is not overpowering and does not last very long.

The balm itself is quite rich and refreshing at the same time. It is light, but still nourishing enough. It absorbs quickly and dries into a velvet finish with a tiny golden shimmer that is only visible from up close. I just wish it had some cooling effect, but otherwise, it is perfect and gives you that highly anticipated luxurious feeling. The packaging is simple and ecstatically very pleasing.

I love to use it after the workout. Just to treat myself, because I’ve done something good for my body. I am sure I’m going to repurchase this balm and use it year-round.

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? Anywa...

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...
