Petrichor Beauty - reviews, style and overthinking

I just recently rediscovered  Yves Rocher.  It used to be one of my favorites a few years ago, but then they closed their physical stores in my area and somehow I chose other brands instead…  Anyway, I saw the ad for their new festive collection and just had to buy it. One of the lines contains oranges and chocolate and that was loudly screaming my name. If you may not know by now, I’ve been recently obsessed with oranges in cosmetics and perfumery, but still, almost hate to eat them. So I got myself a festive gift set –  Melting orange . It contains a large-sized shower gel, oil-based body scrub, and mini hand cream. I haven’t tried everything yet, but so far I am very happy. I am impressed with this little hand cream because it absorbs really fast and it’s not greasy. I can’t stand greasy hands. The smell is very pleasant, not too strong, and not fake, which is always crucial to me, I love when something smells great. As I can remember from the past seasons, they o...

Every year I admire Christmas collection from Yves Rocher. Their products can be so visually appealing, especially those ornament like shower gels with lots of glitters which are unfortunately missing this year. When I decide to finally buy something from their holiday range, they discontinued them. But maybe it’s a good thing, because shower gel that I bought from current holiday collection is just not worth the money. I’m talking about Clementine and spices limited edition shower/bath gel. It has absolutely nothing in common with my favorite shower gel – Brazilian coffee which is absolutely amazing, creamy and very aromatic. This one is just plain, watery and no festive at all. Like something you would buy for less than an 1€ and not 3,5€. It smells a bit like oranges, but very mildly. I will use it up, but I don’t like it. It’s a shame, because I was really looking forward to try this one and convinced that I will love it. We started so negative, let’s switch to po...

After a period of laziness, hectic days and summer holiday, I finally found some motivation to write my blog again. In the past weeks I bought some new makeup and skincare products and today I’m going to present some of them to you. Generally speaking I’m really satisfied with my latest purchases, so these items can be easily categorized as my June/July or even all time favorites. Yves Rocher – Jardins du Monde - Brazilian coffee velvet shower cream I’m a big coffee lover, but I rarely like coffee scented products. I don’t know why, but often they smell so strange and fake. This shower cream is a bright exception; I bought it for the third time now. It smells realistic and somehow makes me feel so great and relaxed, especially after my workout. It’s very thick and creamy; you need just a little amount. The whole bathroom then smells like coffee house. I’ve been lately in loved in coffee and honey scented products as you will notice. Although the product is quite perfumed, it doe...
