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.

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 fiancé is also pretty involved i

Artdeco: Crystal and Amazing effect mascaras

Artdeco become my favorite ˝drugstore˝ brand. They have high quality products with good ingredients and their production in based in Germany. I think I got rid of all ˝Made in China˝ makeup and decided to avoid some brands in big circle. Quality over quantity – that is my motto for this year. I want to reduce the number of my makeup products and be a selective and not impulsive buyer. Anyway let me show you two of my recent purchases (there were quite a few) from Artdeco. Crystal mascara&liner ˝Onyx Glamour˝ First I saw Crystal lash mascara top coat from Estee Lauder and got excited as kid, but that one is expensive and always sold out. Then I saw that Artdeco has something similar and could be a great and cheaper (half that price) dupe for Estee, but sadly I was wrong. This is transparent mascara/liner with black and silver shimmer. You could use it alone or as top coat over your favorite mascara to add some sparkle. The product looks great on lashes; it

Artdeco: Mission Ruby Rose eye palette review

The holiday season is a great time for companies to release their limited edition palettes that are very suitable for gifting or just treating yourself to something new… and sparkly. This little gem comes from Artdeco and has a very appealing name – Mission Ruby Rose. It contains eight eye shadows: two mattes, two satin, and four metallics. The pigmentation varies from shade to shade, which is very usual for the brand. Their products can be either a hit or a miss. Metallics are highly pigmented and just stunning, but full of shimmer, so be prepared for that. Luckily that glitter did not fall all over my face, but it made me nervous during the day… Those shades would be perfect for glamorous looks. The same thing is with mattes, although they are not so ˝loud˝, but can be easily build up. They are very buttery and easy to blend. The satin ones were a disappointment. They provide just a hint of color and are too bright for my taste. Overall it is a solid drugstore palette to add some sp
