Dior Jelly Lip Pen in #476 Ilhabela



I've never used a lip product in this form so I decided to buy this Dior Jelly Lip Pen in Illhabela #476 from Birds Of Paradise Summer 2013 collection. 
It is a shimmery warm pink lip balm. It lasts on my lips about 2 hours (with drinking and eating). It has a buildable coverage but it's not opaque so it can be applied without a mirror. It doesn't leave a stain on lips but it does leave some glitter (but it doesn't fall out so you don't look like a disco ball:-)). Once applied it keeps lips hydrated. It smells like candies:))

Yves Saint Laurent Volupte Sheer Candy in Tasty Raspberry #12

I am a sucker for cute packagings that's why YSL lippies have always been on my wishlist. I finally bought my first YSL Volupte Sheer Candy lipstick in Tasty Raspberry #12 from Spring 2013 collection.





It is a sheer baby pink color. Actually it is more a tinted balm than a lipstick. It isn't opaque. It smells amazing! It applies very well and it doesn't dry out my lips. Unfortunately it lasts on my lips about 1-2 hours.

Chanel Rouge Coco Hydrating Creme Le Baiser #54


Hello :-)

Today I want to show you my new Chanel lipstick - Rouge Coco Hydrating Creme from Avant Premiere de Chanel collection. It is described as a deep pink with golden shimmer but it doesn't look too shimmery once applied.  It is my first lipstick from Rouge Coco range and I am a little disappointed with this lipstick because it doesn't mouisturize my lips at all and it even tends to accentuate my dry lips.

Chanel Le Baiser, Chanel L'Eclatante #42, Tom Ford Flamingo #08

I decided to compare Le Baiser to Chanel L'Eclantante from Spring 2013 collection. It is definitely brighter and more pink. Surprisingly it looks similar to Tom Ford Flamingo,altough this one isn't shimmery at all and it doesn't apply so smoothly like Chanel Le Baiser does.

April 2013 Yays & Nays

Can you believe it's May already?! I am very excited because I am going to Spain in 3 weeks :-)


Lush Lip Scrub in Popcorn & Lush Ro's Argan Body Conditioner

Do you remember my swap with Mishelle (make sure to check out her amazing blog:) http://www.mishellesleepytime.com/? She got me those two Lush products which I adore!
 I am a big fan of Lush lip scrubs and I must say this one smells amaaaazing! I'm trying not to use is too often because I don't have LUSH around so I won't be able to buy a replacement:( YAY

You might already know that I am obsessed with roses. This conditioner smells divine. D I V I N E. It works very well and doesn't make my skin feel sticky. YAY

Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment

After using this oil my hair smells amazing and it is very shiny. It doesn't make it look greasy at all.  YAY



Chanel Sublime De Chanel Mascara

Chanel mascaras are my all time favorite and I always come back to them. This one unfortunately doesn't make my lashes look fake (oh I wish!) but it does lengthen them. The only thing I don't like about it is fact that it sometimes (usually once applied in a hurry) doesn't separate them properly. Probably I won't repurschase it because I just bought Chanel newest mascara and I am excited to try this one out. Anyway, it is a great mascara that doesn't fade.


La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo Corrective And Unclogging Anti-Imperfection Care

La Roche Posay is my second favorite skin care brand and I always reach for their new products. I've been using it for two months now as a daily cream and sometimes while having breakouts also at night. It does matte my skin very well and it works great as a base under my foundation. It doesn't dry out my skin but I noticed that it doesn't mouisturize it (does it make any sense?) so I prefer using it as a daily cream. My skin is smoother and cleaner. Now I want to try this newest Bioderma cream so but for sure I will come back to this cream. YAY

Alpha-H Liquid Gold

This is probably the most hyped product in the blogosphere :-)) I was introduced to it by Zara (http://www.lifesprettyvisions.com/) and of course I had to buy it. I've been using it for two months now. I've been struggling for my whole life with extremely oily and sensitive skin, breakouts, scars, redness and enlarged pores. The first thing I noticed that it isn't highly recommended for delicate and sensitive skin but I've decided to try it anyway. At the beginning it irritated my skin a little and made it more oily (it normalized itself after 3 weeks of using it) but I kept using it. After two months I can say my skin looks brighter and less red. My acne scares have started to fade. I don't need any face scrub anymore and even my mother has noticed some changes (she usually never does). Like I said it is a very hyped product but I think it is definitely worth trying out. YAY



Shiseido The Makeup Eyelash Curler

I hava never used an eyelash curler before so I finally decided to treat myself to one. I always thought that my eyelashes are pretty curled and I was afraid of using it because I'm very clumsy and I could've probably damaged them. I have become addicted to it! Unfortunately I can't compare it to any other curlers. YAY

Yves Saint Laurent Touche Brillance Sparkling Touch For Lips #19

I love wearing sparkling pink lipsticks and lip glosses during summer :-) I'm a big fan of YSL lip glosses so I couldn't resist buying this one too..





I have never had any lip gloss from this range. It has a nice brush aplicator which isn't too soft but at the same time it applies very smoothly. I must admit I was very surprised that it didn't dry out my lips. It smells like all YSL lip glosses. It is very pigmented and it is veeery shimmery. If you are not a fan of sparkling lips you probably won't like it. It lasted on my lips about 3-4 hours.




EDIT: Unfortunately I just found out this product has been discontinued:( I found mine in Spain.
