Spring cravings

At first glance, this list might look humble and budget-friendly, but believe me, it is not. Trips to the drugstores are usually expensive and our desires just don’t know how to settle where there are so many new things all the time. Especially with the arrival of the new season. How should we even call this list? Spring wishes? Easter treats? Let’s go to the business!

I never had a lot of luck with Melvita’s products, but a few months ago I got a tester of their apparently famous rose water and I loved it. It was so refreshing, calming and smelled very nice. Source de Roses – Extraordinary water is their version of hyaluronic gel enriched with rose water. I am a huge fan of hyaluronic serums, so this might be for me. As long as it is not sticky. I hate sticky gels. So if this is something like Mineral 89 with the addition of that gorgeous rosy smell – I’m sold!

After being a religious user of Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm from Clinique for years, I think it is time for a change. I love that balm, don’t get me wrong, but it can be boring. I am a huge fan of scented skincare products (sorry Dr. Dray), and the whole experience is very important to me. Elemis Superfood Glow Cleansing Butter has very good reviews. It supposedly also smells very nice, so I added it to my list.

YSL Mon Paris Intensement – according to reviews, this is a jammy rosy smell, perfect for upcoming spring and office friendly. These are very good, solid reasons to try this fragrance and also the packaging looks stunning. At this moment I don’t own a girly fruity-floral scent in my perfume collection, so this could be a great excuse to expand my scent profile. I just hope it is not too strong or too rosy. 

The last thing I want to try for months now is White Tea Skin Solutions Brightening Eye Gel from Elizabeth Arden. This is never a line from them; it was launched last year. It seems that is not very popular, because I can’t find many reviews online, but to me, it is very appealing. Again, I want that experience from the product. I want that good-looking mini cream jar and I want to feel the freshness of an eye gel in the morning. Maybe I am overreacting, but this is my idea of the whole skincare thing – experience and results.

I put the morning robe at the center because believe it or not I just bought my first one recently and I am addicted to robes now. I feel like a rock star when leaving my bathroom after shower!

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...
