Petrichor Beauty - reviews, style and overthinking

Shiny T-zone has always been my biggest concern. It always makes me look and messy, greasy and feel uncomfortable. So I’m a big fan of all kinds of mattifying products. Over the years the situation is slightly improving, because I found some great products, but I’m not done with my battle yet. My mission is to find products that would work for a whole working day (that means 8 hours for me). I think that’s science fiction for now, it will be easier when my skin get’s older and consequently less oily, I think. My latest addition to mattifiyng products is mattifiyng primer from Makeup factory. This is the third primer I ever tried. First two were total disaster, but this one is somehow better, but not ideal.    It comes in very practical, elegant and expensive looking glass packaging with a pump. Well this wasn’t cheap, but it’s in upper drugstore range. It’s typically looking pink-white primer, with medium thickness and creamy consistency. It has very pleasant ...

I have a passion for observing photographs as long as I remember. I could stare at pictures in books and magazines for hours and thinking about people or places on them. Reading is great and important, but sometimes just need something different to relax and get carried away. I recently discovered that my favorite kinds of pictures are called street photography. This is not professional definition, but street photography simply means to take pictures of random people and random non pre directed situations on the streets.

I assume some people are mad if you take pictures of them, but maybe this was always a problem. I decided to buy one book about street photography. Ok not maybe only with pictures strictly by this definition, but simply said, photo that I would really like and never get bored by it. That kind of book that wou...

Hello spring nail colors! Although I wear all colors all year round, now it’s officially time for brighter and pastel shades. I even ordered myself a green polish, but it hasn’t arrived yet, so we’ll talk about it next time (if it arrives). Anyway today I want to show you something from last year’s spring Fiji collection from OPI. The shade’s name is ˝Polly want a laquer˝ and it’s to me true lavender. I blindly bought some lilac-ish shades before, but they always somehow managed to disappoint me. They were even too blue or too violet/pink and never lavender. So I wanted to own this shade so badly and pre-ordered from abroad. Of course it stuck in mail somewhere and waited for it extra long… Let’s get to the point. This is cream shade. Color is bright and definitely not boring or too vibrant, so it still looks sophisticated and it’s office friendly. Formula is easy to work with but thin, so you might need up to three coats for fully opaque color. Wearing time is good, av...
