Petrichor Beauty - reviews, style and overthinking

As much as I love fall, there is also one thing that makes me going crazy. I understand that seasonal hair loss is normal for most of us, especially women supposed to be much more prone to it then men. But anyway, every year it makes me sad and concern, my self-esteem drops again and I became obsessed with looking at how many hair did I lost during washing, brushing, styling, sleeping… sounds crazy or familiar? As I grow older I noticed that my hair is not so full ant thick anymore and that additional hair loss makes me worried that will be noticeable. I believe that it is, at least to me. Other of course says that is not. Maybe they just don’t want to hurt me. I know that my ponytail in thinner that it used to be, it’s true and I’m not imagining it. I don’t consider myself to be depressed, just occasionally sad because of this. I try to console myself with pictures from the web. I’m not alone in this and many people have serious problems with hair loss, baldness… I just experience ...

This primer was recommended on a few web sites and supposed to work very well on oily and blemish prone skin, so this was a reason I bought it. I own it since April, which means that I tested it in a bit colder weather and also during summer. And simple conclusion is: it didn’t do anything for me. Nada, niente, zero J Luckily I only bought travel size. I really had high hopes for this, because products that I know from Cover FX have good reviews and are popular. My skin is always too shiny and this made it even greasier. It left me look like a total mess. I looked like a teenager who doesn’t know what she is supposed to do with her skincare. Total opposite effect than expected. I was looking for something that would ˝dry out˝ my T-zone a bit, like some moisturizers (from Bioderma) for oily skin do. I need to stress that I used this on its own or with my moisturizer and then set with pressed powder. I never used it under foundation. Product is transparent – gel like, thick and...

Here's the second part of my selection of nail polish colors for fall. Previous post was dedicated just to OPI, this one we'll filled up with two other brands. Zoya is my second favorite nail polish. I love it, because it's less toxic and has a great selection of colors. I adore their texture polishes, named PixieDust, but they are horrible to remove. Well, nothing is perfect I guess.Their brushes are quite ok, but on forums I read that their formula can sometimes be too thick and hard to dry. I haven't experienced that yet, but if I do, I'll let you know. Enough of chatting, let's get to business. My selection from Zoya is from their Naturel deux collection from 2014. They both have cream formula and supposed to be a bit on the thicker side. I must admit that this turns me off a bit. It would be a shame to spent around 10-12€ on a bad polish. But how will I know if it's bad if I don't try and the colors are gorgeous. Marnie I would describe...

Hello! I’m so happy that the weekend is almost here and that the weather outside will get a bit cooler, because it was hard to work in such conditions.  I’m not so lucky to be in modern office with good air condition, we mostly just improvise with draft. It’s not a surprise that I think about colder days, so today I decided to combine my two favorite things: fall and nail polish. I went through tons of pictures on the internet and made some picks of really beautiful autumnal nail polishes. The problem was how to capture the real shade of a polish. Different lights, conditions, cameras, outdoor, indoor places and the color look completely different. I hope these pictures represent the shades in their best way and hope you’ll like them too. I don’t own any of these polishes just yet, because the decision of choosing just one is so difficult. And again, I don’t need another nail polish. Or do I? Let’s begin with my favorite brand, OPI. I love their thin formula, because it dri...

Today I want to present you another shy and versatile blush. A few week ago I wrote that I won’t buy another MAC blush, because you can definitely find drugstore dupes, but I was wrong, you just can’t always do that and MAC was my solution. Or maybe this is just my excuse for splurging and I should search more. ˝Baby don’t go˝ is from pro-long wear line of blushes. I look for it this morning on official web page, but I couldn’t find it anymore, so I assume this is discontinued now. But you can definitely still find it in other web shops, or even Ebay, if you trust your seller.   Baby don’t go is described as light cool beige color with light sheen. On first sight it looks like a contour powder or light bronzer for fair skin tones, it is not typical blush. Lately we’ve been noticing a lot of ˝no makeup˝ makeup looks, which include nude blush. It might not show up extra natural if you’re strictly pale. Blushes with pink, violet or reddish tones can be unflattering during s...

A few months ago I purchased Rose lip balm from Melvita and just adored it. I used it up in four weeks; it was in my hands constantly. So I decided to try something else from their line with roses. My first choice was a light face moisturizer – Nectar de Roses hydrating facial gel. Never enough of moisture and quality skincare, right? I am not very impressed with the product. It comes in cute pinky-white packaging, practical tube with pump which contains 40ml. Thumbs up for that, previous one was not so inviting. The thing that is bothering me the most is the smell, it is so overpowering to me. Although it contains high quality natural rose oil, it is just too much. I had also similar experience with Nuxe. What’s up with these overly fragranced products? Feels like I’ve been putting perfume on my face and not a cream for sensitive skin. It’s a miracle that it doesn’t irritate my skin or eyes, although I avoid eye area, it also didn’t break me out. It is more appropriate for normal sk...

How well do you know drugstore brand from Germany named Makeup factory? Let me just give you an answer – not enough. This is not sponsored in any way I just want to present you high quality products, which don’t give enough attention. We need to clear up something. This is a store brand, to be more specific, drugstore brand from Müller, but prices are in the range of MAC. Their products are made in Germany and this is also a reason that I trust them. It might sound bad, but I’m still not convinced in makeup made in China. For now I only own two products from them. Maybe their collections are not the most modern and visual appealing, but quality is really good. I love blushes, but sometimes you just need something discreet and easy to use. I was looking for something I can’t overdo early in the morning, when I’m still partly asleep and the light in my room is not that great. I discovered ˝ All over beautifier˝ . It comes in just one color named ˝Touch of Salmon˝ . You ca...
