Favorites of 2016

I usually don't like to make such kind of lists, because everybody does that and it's therefore less special, but this will be an exception. I haven't review all of these products yet, but I'll do that eventually, at least most of them. It was not so easy to pick the best items. At the same time I realized how many stuff I bought this year. But when you find something that is really good and you love it, it's justified.

BURT'S BEES LIP BALM

Simple, natural, small compared to giant Eos and long lasting.

MELVITA LAVENDER ROSE WATER

Natural, multi purpose product with gorgeous and relaxing smell.

OPI: SHOW US YOUR TIPS

Beautiful blue color with glitters, a bit out of my comfort zone, but still office appropriate.

THE BALM SEXY MAMA

Great settling powder with hint of color.

URBAN DECAY AFTERGLOW BLUSH IN BITTERSWEET

Unique long lasting color. Something different from that typical doll cheeks.

NYX BRIGHT IDEA ILLUMINATOR IN LAVENDER LUST

Lilac glitter that always lifts my mood. Again not a standard pink highlighter.

LUSH HONEY BEE BATH BOMB

I love all Lush bath products that I tried so far, but this is such a mood up-lifter. Sadly it's discontinued. Flowers, honey, clay and citruses in your bath for baby soft skin.

ARTDECO EYESHADOWS IN GLAM LILAC BLUSH (398)AND PURPLE MONARCH (277)

These two are my favorite colors and suit my eyes beautifully. I love that you can built your personal palette, because eye pallets out there can be so boring and repetitive.

REVLON ULTRA HD MATTE LIQUID LIPSTICK IN SEDUCTION

My first nude lipstick that actually suits me. It's comfortable to wear and quite long lasting.

Wishes

It is time for another wish list or as I like to say it – things that recently caught my attention. Honestly, this is just a small fraction, but I’m too embarrassed to everything out there. The center of the list represents a linen lounge shirt from Intimissimi . I bought one last year and I am super pleased with it. It keeps me cool during these crazy tropical nights and feels very comfortable. I also very much enjoy their silk shirts, but the buttons are simply too annoying sometimes … Now, let’s go up and right to Dior. Another blush? Yes, please! Dior yet again reformulated their famous Backstage Rosy Glow blushes and added some new shades. I always desperately wanted to buy the lavender one, but it was not available in our country. But now something completely different caught my attention – muted, peachy, beige shade – Toffee . I swatched it already and it is pretty, but packed with gold glitter, so I need to try it again to be fully convinced. Smooth&Glow...

Dior Forever Glow Maximizer - Peachy

Apparently this year I have been obsessed with highlighters and blushes because it is time to review another one – Forever Glow Maximizer by Dior in the shade PEACHY. If the Star Glow Filter is very subtle, this is not. It is not tacky and can be beautifully blended, but it’s a real highlighter that serves its purpose. Peachy – light, golden peach with gold and pink shimmer. On my light skin tone, I often wear this as a blush, because I think it works better on me like this. It gives that slight amount of warmth to my face and a subtle golden sheen. It can be built up, but it can also look too much. Now when I’m getting a bit darker I love to put it on top of my bronzer or/and use it as an eyeshadow to achieve a light monochromatic summer look. Indoor light Sunlight This is a great and versatile product, but I still prefer powder versions of Dior highlighters, they are just easier to work with and blend more effortlessly. I think that with liquid highlighters you always need to be...
