Yankee candle Elevation: Rose hibiscus for spring 2021

I saw rose hibiscus between upcoming releases for 2021 months ago and it immediately caught my attention. I was just using hibiscus scented shower gel at that time and really liked it. Anyway, when it finally appeared on our Yankee candle website I just had to have it as soon as possible.

Did it meet my expectations? Yes!


First of all, I love the Elevation line, it is so elegant and just pretty to look at. I was skeptical about the strength of the scent of three wicked candle (it is the only size available here) because my room is not that big and am I prone to headaches. Burning just one wick at a time solves the problem and this candle will last me forever.


And finally, how does it smell like? Like strawberries, mixed with slightly tropical florals. It is mostly fruity, but also floral and fresh. Not too sweet or overpowering, just right and pleasant. Highly recommended!

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...
