Winter wardrobe update

  I am not exactly sure when will I wear any of these, but I strongly believe that that day will come as soon as this year. Ok, we'll wait and see, just don't lose your hope. Mango leather bag - they have this similar large shopper bag every year in a variety of colors. I had it in my arms several times before but was never fully convinced to buy it because sometimes a material like this can look worn off and already old. If I get a chance to see it in person I might just buy it. Stradivarius semi-sheer polka dot shirt - this one looks chic and can instantly upgrade your jeans for some kind of festive event and also lack is always a great idea when you want to look more elegant. It is quite sheer so it requires some extra attention in the selection of your undershirt, but that is not an issue. Promod faux fur jacket - I bought this online, it tuns a bit large on me but I don't mind it that much. When I wear something thicker underneath it gets just right. The green is gor...

Chanel: Paris - Venise

Chanel has a special place in my perfume collection and I am sure a lot of people feel the same about their fragrances. It often gets misunderstood to be the most expensive and somehow reserved for pushy people. Well, at least I get that impression every time I browse Instagram. But it is not. Many mainstream fragrances reach higher prices and never get that snobby status.  Anyway, because of its reputation and my occasional lack of confidence I was very uncomfortable while buying it.  Paris - Venise  is not from their regular line but a part of  Les Eaux  collection which can be found only in selected stores and of course Chanel’s boutiques. Each of fragrances has its own background story and they are all beautifully connected with inviting marketing approach. What will that lady behind the counter think about me? Does she even care? Am I underdressed for this fancy drugstore? Stupid, I know… Paris – Venise  is fresh oriental in eau de toilette concentrat...

Sleek blush in ˝Keep it 100˝ and RT 213 Foundation blender brush

I remember a few years ago when eye palettes from  Sleek  were a must. They were on every beauty blog and I was drooling over them and admiring their versatility. In our country Sleek was available only online, influencers loved to stock up while traveling to London and made us all a bit jealous... ok, that was back then. Now we have almost forgotten Sleek in our stores and it’s not my primal choice of makeup when I go exploring. Their products are very visually appealing, but by my humble experience, filled with glitter and I think I’m just too old for that.  Long story short. A few weeks ago when I was trying to cheer myself up from all those bad Corona virus related news in a local drugstore, I noticed something new and very pleasant – new blushes from Sleek. I used to own one and loved it, so I was excited to check them out. I picked  Keep it 100  which is a lovely darker mat pink color, perfect for autumn. There were no testers available and the light in th...

Nighttime skincare routine

  Hello to you all! Hope you are healthy and staying positive in these crazy times. Anyway, my mission today is to distract you and myself for just a while. Recently I’ve been more into skincare, I bought some new products, changed my routine a bit and now I want to share this with you. Let’s get started! STEP ONE: Cleaning Lately, I’ve been wearing way less makeup, because of the mask, so my main focus is now on the eyes. I use  MicellAir Skin Breathe eye makeup remover from Nivea . It does its job decently, it is affordable and available almost everywhere. I like that is not greasy and doesn’t leave that strange, heavy coat on my lashes. For the face I use my favorite product from  Nuxe, their Reve de Miel gentle makeup removing gel , which smells and feels divine. If you like honey, you should definitely try this. It is effective, but never dries out my skin or burns my eyes. Luna mini 2   by Foreo  is my new toy and also my first beauty gadget. I’m not reall...
