Petrichor Beauty - reviews, style and overthinking

L ately, I’ve been really enjoying wearing yellow whether it be on my clothes, accessories, or in makeup, so nails are no exception. I’m usually very picky about shades, you know, not every yellow is a good yellow. Some are just too straight in your face and not very office appropriate and I didn’t want to own yet another so-called weekend polish. I found new summer release  Sunny Business  by  Essie  during my scrolling through Instagram pics, like usual, and got immediately attracted by this positive ray of sunshine with the same name as the collection. Sunny Business  is quite sheer, shimmery golden yellow. To me, the focus is on golden what is a shame in some way, because from the pictures I saw online, I expected more of a yellow tone. The color is not  very buildable, for the pictures I used three layers and as you can see, my nail line is still visible. Maybewith adding two more, I would finally get my desirable shade, but who wants to do that anyway...

Ok, I never owned anything from Lancome before, not even a perfume sample. I hate most of their bestsellers, so I tend to avoid this brand. But then I read about their rose face mask and I somehow had weeks when I was obsessed with roses (probably lockdown blues), so I had to try this. And yes, I always complain that my skincare stuff is too big to carry around and neglect my face if I travel.  Cleansers & Masks Gift Set by Lancôme contains five skincare products: Lait Lalatee Confort (cleansing milk) – 50ml Tonique Confort (toner) – 50ml Advanced Genifique Concentre (serum) – 7ml Hydra Zen Gel Creme – 15ml Hydra Zen Jelly Mask – 50ml  Cleansing milk – I find this one most useful for cleaning my eye makeup. It is very gentle to my eyes, but also effective enough. For removing a full face of makeup, it would not be enough, you would need an extra step. It has a very pleasant creamy/rosy smell, the whole set smell very similar basically, I enjoy it, but for some could be ov...

Another day, another travel set to talk about, so let’s get straight to business! Rituals were always a fancy, mostly body care brand to me, which I was always religiously avoiding to try. “Shower gel is a shower gel, how can it be special?” True and not so true. Some of the products are special enough and worth a bit higher price because they are gentle and effective at the same time and most of all they smell like heaven. Ritual od Sakura surely represents that piece of magic for me – it smells like cherry blossom and rice milk, a dreamy and soft combination. I actually hate anything cherry-like in perfumes, but here it is composed so well that it gives a different feeling. The smell is soft and not too strong. This is one of their smallest gift sets, it contains four body care products and comes in a gorgeous gift box. It makes it very suitable for a present. My box includes: Sensational foaming shower gel – 50ml Softening rice scrub – 70ml Magic touch body cream – 70ml Blossoming h...

Well hello there! It’s been a while – again since I posted anything new, but now, let’s catch up, shall we? This week I’m going to present to you my three newer travel sets: one from haircare, one from skincare, and one from body care. I’m not sure about you, but I love travel sets and minis in general. We all probably know that they are usually pretty much very expensive, compared to larger sizes, but we tend to buy them anyway because they can be so inviting, cute and not to forget, travel friendly. Minis are also good for trying out new things, before you fully commit yourself to a product and when it comes to makeup, maybe they only size that you can truly use up before it goes bad. Today I want to show you a travel set dedicated to summer hair care from Kerastase, called Soleil. When it comes to hair care, I’m super lazy and that hits me back and shows on my hair big time. So I promised myself to be better this summer and ordered myself some new goodies.  Set contains three pr...
