The struggle of maintaining a good sun protection over makeup is real. Even if we do everything we can prior to beating our faces, most sunscreens are meant to be re-applied every two hours or so. And not many of us have time or patience to completely re-do our face a few times per day. Today I want to talk to you about a cool product that could be the answer to your prayers. A few weeks ago I was contacted by the Seriously FAB brand who offered me an opportunity to test their Zinc It Over Sunscreen Facial Mist. And guess what – it is designed to be used over makeup! Zinc It Over is a zinc ox ..read more

What have you been up to in April? We’ve been mostly trying to decorate the house a bit and add at least basic furniture to some rooms. Not that easy to do in one go when you move from a two bedroom apartment to a house with excess space. But it’s really fun and I am excited to see the progress. In the beauty world, I discovered a new really cool body wash and a bunch of great makeup products to add to the routine (or re-unite with after a short break). Keep reading if you want to find out more about my monthly favorites from April. Soap & Glory Whipped Clean Luxe Cream Wash Shower Butter ..read more

I have a new mission for 2018. My goal is to discover great affordable foundations for dry skin. I have a bunch of favorites from higher end brands, but it’s always great to find cheaper alternatives and save cash, right? To start off, I am going to compare two L.A. Girl foundations – one is fairly new and the other one has been around for a while now and I’ve heard good things about it. Let’s chat about L.A. Girl Pro Matte and Pro Coverage foundations, shall we? The shade selection The first thing I’ve noticed when comparing the two is that the shade ranges don’t match. What it means is that ..read more

The power of Youtube and social media influencers is something I’ve always been amazed and, obviously, impressed by. I mean, don’t you think it’s unbelievable than one person can make thousands or even millions of followers buy a product? Generally, I consider myself to be a reasonable person with low impulsive buying tendencies, but the amount of times I clicked buy right after hearing a rave review may suggest otherwise… Where am I going with this story? To give you my opinion of the Guerlain L’Or Radiance Primer, made particularly famous by Tati Westbrook. She reviewed it in a video few ye ..read more

Hello again, I’m back in the online world after moving houses. It’s been a stressful process but we’re pretty much unpacked and loving every minute of settling in. My next step is to resume a regular blogging schedule. I have so many great post ideas and I can’t wait share them with you in near future. And since we’ve just entered a new month, I will start from talking about my March 2018 beauty favorites… Dermalogica Gentle Soothing Booster My skin hasn’t been doing that great lately, probably due to stress and being sick for a week or so. It’s been a lot more prone to irritation, redness an ..read more

I’m going to keep this post short and sweet because I haven’t had enough sleep over the last few days and I’m exhausted. Not because I’ve been partying hard (I wish) but due to my son’s changing sleeping patterns. Not so fun. But, I really want to keep my regular blogging schedule and also share with you my thoughts on the new fantastic lipstick range from Colourpop. Colourpop definitely has the lip product formulas down pat and I was expecting greatness from the Lux line. And guess what – they brand did deliveragain! I’m even tempted to go as far as saying that it’s my new favorite lipstick f ..read more

Are you a Clarisonic user? If so, you simply have to try their brush for foundation application. I’d even go as far as saying that it’s worth buying the device for the sole purpose of applying your base products with it! I know, it may seem a bit extra, but hear me out before clicking away in disbelief… I actually had a Clarisonic back in Australia and decided to give it away before the big move to the US because I have not been using it enough. The Foreo brush has been my preferred choice and I felt that I won’t be needing the other brush anymore. About a month later, they introduced the Fo ..read more

Well, well,well…the winter is almost over. It certainly feels this way in Texas and I am more than ready for spring. My skin could use a bit of sun to re-gain some color and a healthy glow. I have a really exciting month ahead with a big move to our very own house. The moving part is not the most thrilling, but hopefully it’s going to be the last one for a while. I will try to keep my once a week blogging schedule, but if I do skip a post, at least you’ll know why. Today, let’s have a chat about my great beauty finds from February. I have a good mix of affordable and more expensive products th ..read more

I’m sure most of you already know that Anastasia Beverly Hills has just released another eyeshadow palette. In fact, I suspect you are here to have a closer look at Soft Glam before making a decision whether to get it or not. I was also on the fence after the controversial Subculture palette, but supposedly this formula is the same as the famous Modern Renaissance, which everyone is raving about. I don’t actually own that one, but my collection includes a bunch of ABH eyeshadow sets released before Subculture, so I do have enough material to make relevant comparisons. But before we move on to ..read more
