Petrichor Beauty - reviews, style and overthinking

Estee Lauder – Bronze Goddess Aegea This year I am apparently obsessed with figs. Just a few weeks ago I bought myself a small bottle of Fico Di Amalfi by Acqua Di Parma and now I need more. So when I read that the center stage of this fragrance are figs, exotic flowers and coconut I had to put it on my list. I just hope this is more on the light side , because lately I’ve been struggling with heavier fragrances. And also it needs to be office appropriate . Kerastase Gloss Absolu Glaze Drops I already tried a conditioner from this new line by Keraastsae and I absolutely love the smell of it. Don’t judge me, expensive products need to smell extra nice, ok? Anyway, it smells like citrusy rose perfume, it is very lightweight and makes my hair super soft. So I assume that this oil also smells gorgeous, protects the hair from getting too frizzy, and provides that glossy finish. Oh and I also like the idea of the dropper, it looks more practical. Tina Knowles – Matriarch I heard that...

The trend of lavender shades in makeup is apparently still going strong this spring and I don’t mind that at all. I’ve been obsessed with lilac highlighters for years, but that’s the story for another time. Lavender on the lips can be tricky. It can easily be too much and you’re looking half dead or at least frozen, if you know what I mean. But if it’s done right, it can be your new favorite. YSL Loveshine Candy Glow Balm in the shade 10b Lavender Blaze caught my attention immediately. I was on a hunt for a cool toned , sheer, easy to wear lippie that would give just that little something extra to my face . This balm is very comfortable on the lips. It is hydrating, but not heavy or greasy. It is also not sticky, which is very important to me, because I hate that. It smoothes the lips a bit and tastes and smells like watermelon (think about Hubba Bubba's from your childhood). The finish is very shiny, the color is sheer but buildable to some point. I love this shade on me , I ...

  I’ve been waiting for this colder weather for a long time. My reason is simple - I’ve been sick of my fresh scents and craving for something stronger, with more character . You know, a proper perfumes with some personality.   So yesterday I composed my little collection for this month, so called ˝My monthly tray˝. I do that since I own quite a lot of fragrances and like to have them in respectable rotation. My selection for November contains slightly older releases and even classics because I am not really a fan of today’s mainstream fragrances and trends. Estee Lauder – Sensuous (2008) This one is very woody, spicy, and quite masculine. Slightly sweet and perfectly rounded. I wear it for work and it gives me that instant boost of confidence because it is a serious and mature fragrance. It can be heavy sometimes, but still polite enough to not to give me a headache. If you want something different , but still familiar enough and cosy, give it a try. Emporio Armani –...

 

It was Sunday after lunch and I enthusiastically concluded that it was the right time to open my new set of Legos. The box waited for me for three weeks now and I was ready. Because when you are an adult, and you know exactly how much you paid for your Lego set, you want the timing for your ˝play˝ to be just perfect. Bouquet of Roses  was released was released in February, just in time for Valentine’s Day. It captured my attention immediately. I always look at Legos also from that practical site of aesthetics. Does this look good? Is it something I can keep on my shelf as decoration? Will it only look like clutter? You get the point. So yes, these roses looked lovely and I bought them for myself.  This set includes 822 pieces, arranged into 6 packs. The whole building ¨process¨ is divided into three parts. At the end you'll get 12 Roses (3 different types) and 4 branches of Baby's Breath. I believe it took me three hours of slow building and just chilling with some old music i...

At first glance, this list might look humble and budget-friendly, but believe me, it is not. Trips to the drugstores are usually expensive and our desires just don’t know how to settle where there are so many new things all the time. Especially with the arrival of the new season. How should we even call this list? Spring wishes? Easter treats? Let’s go to the business! I never had a lot of luck with Melvita’s products, but a few months ago I got a tester of their apparently famous rose water and I loved it. It was so refreshing, calming and smelled very nice.  Source de Roses – Extraordinary water  is their version of hyaluronic gel enriched with rose water. I am a huge fan of hyaluronic serums, so this might be for me. As long as it is not sticky. I hate sticky gels. So if this is something like Mineral 89 with the addition of that gorgeous rosy smell – I’m sold! After being a religious user of Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm from Clinique for years, I think it is time for a ...
