Last two months have been mostly work and no play for me, this week being no exception. However, I cherish moments I have just for myself and I thoroughly enjoy all my little beauty rituals. To be quite honest, I do regret the decision to replace my old bath tub with a shower booth as long, indulging baths are no longer an option but quick showers have been a part of my reality for a while now. Best thing would be to have both – bath and shower. So having that in mind, all the pampering business mostly happens outside of the shower. L'Occitane makes the most beautiful body creams (Almond Milk Concentrate being my firm favorite) but this fragrance-intensifying one is not far behind. Design is lovely (as always is with L'Occitane). I appreciate the cleanliness of it all. L'Occitane Fragrance Beautifying Cream is very light in texture yet intensely moisturizing. Even though it serves its purpose to intensify Grasse fragrances, it smells divine on itself. Very light and fresh – ideal for warm summer days – especially days with high humidity when everything makes me feel sticky. Not this delicate wonder. Dr.Hauschka Cleansing Cream is something I got myself to try recently and I've been blown away ever since. Containing almonds (which I love), it works in mysterious ways and has been keeping my face very clean lately. You have an entire, specific way of applying it but it's so worth the effort. When I empty my 10ml sample, I'll definitely purchase a full-size tube. Schwarzkopf BC Bonacure Oil Miracle Finishing Treatment has been aiding my stressed locks and has been keeping them healthy and shiny. I've used four bottles of the Light Finishing Treatment version whilst this is my second tube of the more concentrated hair oil. It's definitely the best one in my eyes out there (despite not being budget-friendly). NYX Born To Glow Liquid Illuminator in Sunbeam is a perfect subtle illuminator. I like to use it on days when my theBalm's Mary Lou-Manizer feels like too much. Sunbeam is light, easily distributed and gives a lovely gentle glow to my cheekbones. This is absolutely perfect for everyday use. MAC Viva Glam V Lipstick has been called the most versatile nude lipstick ever. Many state that this particular shade suits all skin tones equally beautifully. It could be the case, I have seen photos of women with different skin tones and features truly rocking Viva Glam V. I can only add that I love it on myself as well. I will review it rather soon so you'll be able to see exactly how it looks on me. I'd say that it's really hard to go wrong with. Finally, OPI Maintenance Nail Envy has been everything I imagined it to be so far. My nails have already gone through a quite speedy transformation. We'll see if this nail treatment continues to maintain the newly established condition of my nails I'm very pleased with. But for now – I certainly don't regret purchasing it. Tell me have you discovered anything new beauty-wise? Any new purchases you feel proud of?
Posljednja dva mjeseca mi prolaze najvecim dijelom radno dok jako malo vremena mogu posvetiti samoj sebi. Upravo zbog gustog rasporeda dodatno cijenim sve one momente, koliko god rijetki bili, koje mogu posvetiti svojim ugadjajucim beauty ritualima. Iskreno govoreci, pozalila sam odluku da zamijenim staru kadu sa tus kabinom – od te zamjene, ocigledno, uopste nisam u mogucnosti da uzivam u opustajucim kupkama no brzinsko tusiranje je postalo dijelom moje svakodnevnice vec neko vrijeme. Sve ima svoje prednosti i mane ali nekada mi zaista nedostaju kupke i za njih bih sada nasla vremena, koliko god obaveza da imam. Najbolje bi bilo da imam oboje – tus i kadu. Imajuci sve to na umu, njegovanje i uzivanje u njegujucim slasticama je skoro pa iskljucivo rezervisano izvan tus kabine. L'Occitane proizvodi najljepse mazalice za tijelo (Badem mlijecni koncentrat je moj cvrsti favorit) no ova krema za intenziviranje mirisa uopste ne kaska u odnosu na mog mezimca. Dizajn je krasan (kada je bilo drugacije sa L'Occitane-om?) i cijenim taj osjecaj cistoce koji vezem za ovu kremu. L'Occitane Fragrance Beautifying krema je dosta lagane teksture koja ne kompromitira intenzivnu hidrataciju. Iako joj je svrha da pojaca mirise iz Grasse kolekcije, sama krema je divno mirisljava. Lagana, neopterecujuca i svjeza – idealna je za koristenje tokom toplih ljetnih dana. Posebno tokom dana kada je vlaga u zraku odvrnuta do maksimuma (kakva je situacija u posljednje vrijeme). Dr.Hauschka Krema za ciscenje je nesto sto sam nedavno nabavila u testnom pakovanju, ponajvise iz radoznalosti. Otkako sam je isprobala, jako me impresionirala. Sadrzi bademe (koje jako volim), efektno odrzava kozu lica nevjerovatno cistom i blistavom. Imate citav ritual nanosenja i koristenja ove kreme sto mozde djelovati zahtjevno no – vjerujte da vrijedi truda. Kada potrosim svoj uzorak od 10ml, definitivno cu kupiti i veliku tubu. Schwarzkopf BC Bonacure Oil Miracle Finishing tretman je kljucan u njezi krajeva kose koji su poceli pokazivati znakove isusenosti. Zauzvrat, ovo ulje cini kosu zdravom i sjajnom. Potrosila sam cetiri boce lagane verzije Light Finishing tretmana a ovo je druga bocica ove intenzivnije koncentracije ulja. U mojim ocima, ovo su najbolja ulja za kosu iako nisu najpristupacnije cijene. NYX Born To Glow tecni iluminator u nijansi Sunbeam je idealan suptilni iluminator. Volim ga koristiti danima kada mislim da bi theBalm-ov Mary Lou-Manizer bio isuvise intenzivan. Sunbeam je lagane konzistencije, jednostavno se nanosi i blenda te pruza prirodan sjaj jagodicama. Savrsen je za svakodnevnu upotrebu. MAC Viva Glam V ruz je na glasu kao nude ruz za usne koji pristaje svim tonovima koze. Vrlo je vjerovatno da su ovi navodi istiniti, pregledala sam mnoge fotografije ruza na razlicitim djevojkama potpuno razlicitih tonova koze i uopsteno crta lica. Sve i jedna dama fantasticno izgleda sa njim. Samo cu dodati da sam i ja izuzetno zadovoljna time kako mi pristaje. Uskoro cu objaviti recenziju ovog ruza. Napokon, imamo OPI Maintenance Nail Envy tretman za nokte. Do sada cini sve sto bih i sama pozeljela. Za kratko vrijeme, moji nokti su dovedeni u pristojno stanje. Vidjeti cemo da li ce ovaj tretman i tokom vremena da odrzava slabe i krhke nokte prezentabilnim. Trenutno, mogu reci kako uopste ne zalim kupovinu. Recite mi, da li ste nabavile nesto novo u posljednje vrijeme? Da li ste se pocastile nekim uzbudljivim beauty novitetom? Postoji li neka kupovina kojom ste jako zadovoljne?
