Petrichor Beauty - reviews, style and overthinking

BOURJOIS – a word I can never remember how to spell. It's been a while since I bought something from them, but it used to be my favorite fancy drugstore brand. It used to be in ˝sisterhood˝ with Chanel, so there still might be some similarities, but I’m not sure. I had some big disappointments with their under eye concelaers, so because of that I decided to leave this brand alone for a while. Their new collection recently caught my eye, so I forgive them their bad products and I’m ready to try new ones. They launched duo blushers in three shades – blush and bronzer in that famous little pot and a strober, which ended in my shopping bag. Strober comes in one, universal shade - Universal glow , which supposed to be flattering for all skin tones. I would describe this as light golden with some silver shimmer added. It is light color, but buildable, which is great when it comes to easily overdoing products. It is delicately shimmery. It has quite strong floral smell, I b...

I have been kind of late with this post, because it’s been over a week since we returned from our trip, but better later than never, right? First week of June, my boyfriend and I spend in beautiful Vienna, Austria. We went there by car, driving is not that long, about four hours from Ljubljana. What is four hours to someone who lives in USA J Donauturm - the highest building in Austria view from  Donauturm Anyway we had a wonderful time, the weather was great. Austria is quite expensive for my opinion. Small bottle of water costs from 1,60€ in stores to 1,90€ at the gas stations. Of course most of restrooms are not for free. Regular cup of coffee is around 3,5€, average lunch is 15€. It might not seem a lot, but money goes quickly from your hands. Food in grocery store was more expensive that in Slovenia, well at least our closest supermarket. Not to mention if you like pretty things in stores… Also commission fees in museums can go up to 25€, while most ...

Happy Wednesday! Today I’m going to write about my currently favorite YouTube channels. I like to watch YouTube in my bed before going to sleep. It’s not really healthy habit, but it makes me happy, so it can’t be that harmful. I don’t have many subscriptions, because that would take me too much time to watch. Posts are originally nicely scheduled through the week, a few shorter videos during work days and usually one long one during weekend. My favorites types of videos are vlogs, but they have to be dynamic and without endless monologues. I’m a bit tired of makeup reviews, because they often make me buy things that I really don’t need. A good thing is that most of my subscribed channels are from USA, so a lot of presented makeup I can’t even order online in Europe... JAMbeauty 89 Jessica is elementary school teacher from Indianapolis USA and does videos more for a hobby. Her main topic is beauty, but occasionally she focuses also on other things and that’s what makes her chan...

What is the first thing that comes on your mind when you hear about Chanel fragrances? Old lady like, soapy and expensive? That is what I thought for a long time, until I took enough courage to explore Chanel counter at my local drugstore. I was on the mission. My big wish was to actually discover something that I would really like, because I always wanted to own a Chanel fragrance. This may sound snobbish, but I’m just telling the truth. I wanted something different from current trends, by chance something vintage. Yes, their fragrances are pricey, but not all of them are dated and boring (just some ;)). I hated their current bestseller Coco Mademoiselle and was afraid to even try famous no. 5. Coco edt was very pleasant and appealing, I also liked some versions of Chance, but they weren’t that special. Then I tried no.19 and slowly felt in love, but not in a few first minutes, because the opening of it is not that pleasant. It’s a green sharp punch in your nose. After some m...

It seems like the weather on my vacation will be super summery, which is great, but that also calls for different kind of products and low key beauty. I decided to keep my makeup simple and minimal, because I will be ˝melting˝ the whole day anyway. My main goal is just not to look as total mess, that means stay matte as long as possible. Yeah right, only with a lot of blotting ;) Caudalie beauty elixir - to cool me down, refresh and prep my skin, Micellar facial cleaning and makeup removing wipes from Nivea,  Decleor mattifyng fluid – which doesn’t make me mat, but is the lightest moisturizer I currently own,  Clinique pep-start eye cream – this is light and works fine under concelaer, but definitely not worth the price. Smashbox Photofinish light primer – make me mat please! Still testing…, Maybelline instant anti age dark circle eraser – not opened yet, hope it doesn’t let me down, Makeup factory l ipstick in Sahara red – orange red for pop of color, Ar...

Artdeco just recently launched their multifunctional sticks called ˝Multi sticks˝ . They come in 5 different shades of brown and 1 in rose mauve. They can be used for highlighting, contouring or concealing. You can also use them as lipstick, blush or even eyeshadow. I bought the second lightest shade 02- light caramel , mainly to be used as concelaer. It is more orange-brown. The third shade was way too dark; the first one seemed to be too light. I have bad experiences with stick concelaers, but this is surprisingly good. Just this color turned out to be a bit dark for me just now, but I think it will be great after some sunny days. This is super creamy, not dry at all and can be blended very easily and evenly, even with circular motions. I didn’t notice any shimmer in it or color reflecting parts, but still it doesn’t look dull on face at all. The coverage is light to medium. I try to upgrade it and brightening the color with liquid concelaer on top and that went...
