Petrichor Beauty - reviews, style and overthinking

New month, new season and new excuse to buy something new and update your beauty routine. It is super-hot outside and we need something cool. And how awesome does this brush look? Catrice – limited edition Tropic Exotic Highlighter & Bronzing brush Wild Fascination . It is super soft and versatile, one at the same time on of the best looking drugstore brushes out there. Go and grab one while you still can! And new you definitely need another bronzer/blush palette. This one is from Pupa Milano , it is called Tropical Feelings and it is from their new summer Coconut Lovers line. The whole line of products is enriched with coconut water extract, so give your cheeks some sun-kissed effect and get carried away by tropical smells. Perfect nail color to flatter your newly tanned skin? Orange! This lively shade is called Break it Sundown and it is a part of Essie’s Summer 2022 collection. If you like very sweet scents, but find them cloying during summer, maybe you should try Olym...

Time for the product no. 2 from my ‘Testing on vacation’ series:  NUXE Sun – after sun hair&body shampoo. This product was a hit and also a miss for me. First of all, it smells amazing – a tropical vacation in a plastic tube. This scent reminds me of that old-school heavy sunscreen, but with some extra exotic flowers added, it is very strong and stays on your skin for quite a while. Another positive thing about it is that is gentle to your skin and great for frequent showering. It left my skin smooth and there was no that uncomfortable and urgent need for applying my lotion.

So I ‘scrubbed’ harder the next time and the results were the same. Keep that in mind while dressing something tighter and dark. And now the grand finale – it was just horrible on my hair. My hair gets greasy usually on the second day, but with this shamp...

This vacation I’m going to play with some new products I just ordered and of course, do some testing at the same time. I am really excited about that because I love discovering new things and write about them later. I am not afraid that they would completely let me down, I trust them enough, all are from reputable French brands.  Let’s see which novelties I’m bringing with me: Vichy Mineral 89 fortifying and plumping daily booster  – I heard so many good things about this and I finally ordered a mini size just to try it for the summer. This serum is packed with mineralizing water and hyaluronic acid and I think it will be great using it in the evening as some kind of after-sun treatment. Some special care for calming my skin down and just pamper it with moisture. It has a cooling effect too which is perfect. I love the bottle, it is heavy and feels expensive (but I got it on sale).
