The Weekend Face
I saw that you really liked my post last week of The Sunday Face so I figured I'd do this again. This time, it's a Saturday face, or really a general weekend face. Since I'm looking mildly healthier from repeated sun exposure over the past week, I'm going to be using even less make-up, but we still need to look presentable.
As you can see, I'm still not giving up the cheek tint, since it really gives you a lovely little pop of colour while looking very natural, but have switched to the Benefit Cha Cha Tint, because I'm less pale and more warm toned now.
Another thing I can't give up yet is concealer, this time, the pick is the Soap & Glory Kick Ass Concealer, about which I still have mixed feeling but am giving a couple more tries to be sure. Have you tried it? What do you think? I'll be reviewing it soon as well but I'm curious of your experiences.
What I always grab if I want a fast and pretty fix is my Inglot palette that you can see up close and personal Here. It has everything and it is immensely effective!
While I love the Rimmel Lycra Flex Mascara, on the more relaxed days, I will always grab my Eyeko Fat Mascara because well....I'll always love fiber mascara above all else.
Last but not least, what days SPRING IS HEREEEE! more than Barry M's Greenberry polish? It has been a favourite since summer and you can see what it looks like on my nails in This post.
How's your face looking this weekend? And ladies, if there is sun where you are, enjoy it to the max!

Beauty Bits I Picked Up In London
So here we are, showing off beauty bits once more! My last London trip consisted of a much less varied array of purchases. If I remember well it was a lipgloss I convinced myself into buying, and a lot ( I really mean A LOT) of nail polishes. Yeah, so much for diversity.
Well this time, even if I had less time for shopping, I had a better idea of what can be found in London and where. And here's what I ended up with.
Last time I did a bit of sampling because even if I had heard a lot of great things about certain products, I wasn't going to buy them just like that, especially since they were skincare items. Such was the case with the REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask. It was one of those "I need this!" things, but upon testing it, I wasn't that blown away. Basically it did nothing for me. My skin is usually pretty good so I suspect I just didn't need it. It was good to try before just buying and having it sit there unused.
The other thing I tried last time was the Origins Drink Up Intensive Mask. Now that one really helped since my biggest issue is having dry skin. It really was the first thing I got when I arrived. First trip was to Selfridges and by evening I was happily smearing it on my face.
Something else I loved the sound of was the Laura Mercier Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer. I already had the regular tinted moisturizer and still use it on days where I just look dead tired, by mixing it up with some of my BB cream. Well... I am sad to report that while it looked absolutely amazing it feels like dust. At least for me. It just cannot compare to the fresh feeling the Maybelline BB Cream, like having just splashed water on my face. Suppose I'm spoiled now.
Other things I got were the Batiste Dry Shampoo, basically just a refill because it's such a life saver! Then I really wanted to try the Maybelline Color Tattoo and since Boots had a 3 for 2 thing going on, I ended up picking up the golden one also. I can tell you know, I'm liking them a lot!
Also in Boots they had this cute mini Benefit package with the Sun Beam, Posie and Cha Cha Tint.To be honest, I didn't need any of them but they looked so cute! Must say, I really like what the Sun Beam can do.
And of course, the Revlon Lip Butters. It's been awhile I wanted to get one but my face is not made for wearing pink and this particular one, the Creme Brulee seemed to never be in stock. Until now.
And then, guys, I discovered the Top Shop lip section! Never a huge fan of matte things as they dried out my lips to destruction, but upon trying the Top Shop Lip Pencil I was in complete awe! It stays on for what seems forever and doesn't dry your lips out. The Lip Bullet is more hydrating to begin with as it has a shimmery finish but the color...wow! Big fan here. I wish they had a bigger array of lip pencils because a nude one like that would save my life.If you have any other lip pencil suggestions, throw them my way, please!
Last but not least, stocked up on the Eyeko Fat Mascara because you can't not know what a fan I am by now!
Now, is there any one of these you'd like me to review first?

May Favorites
Quite pink this month, aren't we?
I've managed to get a sorta flu last month, which has led to some magnificent revelations, like how the MOA Balm can basically do anything, from cleaning your face, to keeping it hydrated to curing rashes from constant nose blowing. I'm not sure there's enough space here to go on about how incredibly grateful I am to this thing.
Then we have the oils, one that is almost empty and in need of refilling is the Burt's Bees Lemon & Vitamin E Body Oil. I'm quite sure I will pledge allegiance to Burt's Bees soon.
The generic Castor Oil has also proven to be a grand ol' invention of nature. Apply it on lashes and brows and it will make them fuller and stronger. Same goes for your hair and the hardening part for the nails. I will say though, I heard stories of wild hair appearing anywhere this oil touched the skin. I'm here to tell you "not really". It takes a while for this thing to have effect, so don't panic if you drop oil on your chin. No goatee will pop up.
A surprising favorite is the L'Erbolario Rose Shower Gel. I say surprising because its smell reminds me more of hospital and almost not at all of rose, but it has such great ingredients and leaves the skin so nice that I've been tempted to ignore the sanitary smell.
The nails have seen a significant increase of Orly Gumdrop use, as you can see on my nails here, here and more recently here.
And of course: the face. I'm still using the Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream and my one true lash friend, the Eyeko Fat Brush Mascara. Both still impressing me a long time into using them. You can read the respective reviews by clicking the links and I must say, my opinion has only improved since.
And what are some of your favorites?

The Nude Look
I really like my face to look as natural as possible, that's why I'm probably not going to wear bright popping colors too much.I'm an eyeliner kind of girl for sure. The lips sometimes make the exception but other than that, I like to keep it natural and glowing.
So I figured I'd show you my favorite way to achieve it.

So I figured I'd show you my favorite way to achieve it.
Step one would be picking a base. Now, that's a personal preference but I never wear foundation and if I wear anything, it's either tinted moisturizer or BB Cream. Since I'm slowly starting to get a bit of a tan, I'm also slowly starting to not use even those anymore. I just use a face oil or moisturizer.
On the eyes I like to wear beige and copper tones, and a favorite is Catrice Oh it's Toffeeful. The other one I really like is still from Catrice and it's called Mr Copper's Fields. I haven't yet found another eyeshadow that tops it. Either the color isn't right or the shimmer is off. Either way, those two are clear winners for me. Another thing I never go without is the Eyeko Fat Mascara, that just gives the most luscious long lashes ever. Even just wearing the mascara alone makes your eyes look 10 times more gorgeous.
On the cheeks I like to use a bronzer or a highlighter,or both.The highlighter of choice is the MeMeMe Sunbeam which basically is the perfect dupe for the Benefit one. And then we have the CK Sun Dance Bronzing Powder which is the most natural looking bronzer I have found.
And for the lips there's the full on nude option of Rimmel Apocalips in Nude Eclipse, which is just perfect for my skintone. It is that sexy retro look that when paired with a smokey eye is perfect for a night out too. For the more tame alternative there's the Max Factor Color Elixir Giant Pen in Mysterious Hazel. It's a very grown-up color, at least that's what it looks like on me, but it completes a nude look perfectly, giving that great little addition of color.
What's your usual look? More on the nude side or definitely more dramatic?

What's Been On My Face Recently
Spring time, happy time, finally healthy looking face time. And by that I mean naturally healthy looking, thanks to the sun and the light and the general well-being that spring likes to pump in us. Which also means there hasn't been that much on my face. So let me show you what I've been using mostly.
Because my skin is less dry and flakey...well actually not dry and flakey at all to be precise, the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer can now be worn much better than in winter. You might remember the post where I just wasn't that thrilled about this moisturizer. It was basically because of said dry and flakey skin that just got enhanced by it. What can always be worn in amazing fashion is the Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream. I have to admit I will always pick this one over, well, anything, as it really gives me a fresh feel and even with a face oil under, it works perfectly.
The great news is that I don't need the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer all the time anymore. Yes, I need it at the office because 8 hours into it, even the freshest of faces starts to look unmotivated, but other than that, I can easily pass.
Another optional item is the Hema Eyeshadow Base because the Eyeko Skinny Liner sits so well that you really don't need anything under it for it to not move until you remove it yourself.
Same goes for the Eyeko Fat Mascara. Perfectly natural looking and you don't even feel it on your lashes. Not to promote sleeping with mascara on because that's a general No Way! but even if you would sleep with this one on, the ingredients would basically just nourish your lashes anyway.
And then, my loveliest of them all, the magical final touch that is just the perfect shade,shine and form CK Sun Dance Bronzing Powder. Unlike most bronzers, this one actually looks really natural on you and some days I admit, I don't need it. But I really like putting it on!

Got Myself A Little Haul
I don't think I've ever done one of these, have I ? Well, I've been lucky enough to have gotten all of my online purchases pretty much at once this time. I don't know about you, but I really like unpacking things and to have so many to unpack was right up my alley.
So, without further ado, here's what I got:
Starting off with the matters of the face, I've once again stocked up on Eyeko and got the liner extra, because that's just how nice the people at Eyeko.com are. That and free shipping.
And from Feelunique.com I went on and got the Rimmel Apocalips in Nude Eclipse that I've been craving. I'll congratulate myself for that purchase later. Then, I figured I'd try the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer and the Nuxe Reve de Miel lip balm.
And now, let's get to the colorful part: the nail polishes
Sally Hansen Greige Gardens, Gray by Gray and Yellow Kitty. Then from China Glaze Keep Calm, Paint on, Unpredictable, Mimosas before Manis and Sunday Funday. And last but not least Orly Gumdrop and Essie Mojito Madness
I was especially excited about these three from the China Glaze Spring Collection and so far I've tried Sunday Funday and Keep Calm, Paint on. Both of them I REALLY like!
And here's where it's your turn, which ones would you want to see reviewed first?

March Favorites
Fashionably late as usual, I give you: March favorites!
To be honest, there initially was a very different lineup for this post but at the end of March, some goodies arrived and even after a pretty short period of testing, I have been HUGELY impressed.
Moa Green Balm
I have been using this for everything, from cuticles to lips, to face and hands. It is a universal savior and a definite repurchase. It has helped all my exposed parts during the freezing winter days, cold and wind. And with the dry skin that I'm sporting, it's quite magnificent to be able to do that.

Nuxe Reve de Miel
Have almost all of us heard of the supernatural powers of this balm by now? I know I've stumbled upon nothing but praise. Even so, I wasn't too keen to believe everything because it sounded too good. Well you know what? It is THAT good! I'll have a proper review up soon and you will be able to hear all about how it has turned my lips from papyrus to velvet.
Eyeko Skinny Liner
I'm a gel eyeliner girl. Very dedicated to the gel cause, but boy oh boy this liner has shocked me. It has unbeatable lasting power. And I do mean unbeatable. No smudging, no moving, and seriously intense black. I could definitely be converted to this liner.
My fondness for Eyeko is quite great and in case you haven't noticed how obsessed I am with this mascara, I suggest you click on the link above to get to the review I did of it.
Rimmel Apocalips in Nude Eclipse
I have been wanting to get my hands on this ever since I first saw it and I was right to want it! It's the best kind of lip product. Liquid but with a lipstick finish that is not too shiny and not too matte. Just right and especially great for dry lips that sometimes I prefer to not put lipstick,but more liquid products on.
Along with the MOA balm, this is still a great friend for when the hands are about to give up. It has got to be the thickest and most efficient hand cream I have ever tried.
And now to the favorite polishes: Sally Hansen The Real Teal and Barry M Mint Green.
You will find a lot of swatches for those on the blog, just type in Sally Hansen or Barry M in the search tab I have in the sidebar, because they are true spring colors.
Do we share any favorites here? What are some of yours?

What's On My Face: The Minimalist
That would be me, for I am the minimalist.
I don't really like to wear a lot of things on my face because frankly, I can feel any layer and unless it's super light, I can't and won't deal with it. So here's what I usually put on le visage.
You will have already noticed the Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation. And it's a serious foundation at that. You're probably thinking "doesn't this go against the keeping it light rule?". It normally would, but the only reason this foundation is here, is because when I feel and look like an exhausted badger, I need a bit more than my BB cream to keep me looking human, and that is why I mix exactly one drop of foundation into my Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream. They work just perfectly together and I get just a dab more of coverage which is essential on those days you'd rather just put cucumber slices on your eyes and vegetate.
Before I get to the BB cream and foundation, I use Argan Oil as a base and let me tell you: it is perfect!
It's the organic good stuff that gives my skin the moisture it needs. Pair that up with the Mario Badescu Hyaluronic Eye Cream and you're set.
For the actual makeup part, I use my trusty Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer that I've been using for years, my new favorite, the Benecos Natural Baked Blush and finish off with my eyes.
For that, only two things are needed, the Catrice Gel Liner and Eyeko Fat Mascara for gorgeously natural looking, long lashes.
I have yet to find a better replacement for the gel liner, because quite frankly, it's awesome!
What are your daily products?

Favorite Products of 2012
Can you believe it's been another year already? While you're living it it feels long, of course, but when it comes to looking back it feels like it was just yesterday that I was on a train in Germany at -11C hoping to finally get home to that warm shower. I still get chills thinking of those temperatures, which just goes to prove how not so long ago it seems to have been.
Nevertheless, I will show you some things that have really impressed me this past year.
Vichy Eye Make-Up Remover is a recent discovery and you can read all my raving about it by clicking in the link.
Face Oils: both apricot and argan have been really good friends of mine this year.Starting to use face oils has really helped out my dry skin and if you want, you can read all about the amazing apricot oil HERE.
Rose Water: what a great thing this is! I use it as a toner and you'd be surprised how hydrating it is. I've also written all about it In This Post.
I love...Raspberry & Blackberry Hand Cream: so far, this is the only hand cream that I could feel, works.Normally you'd apply and reapply and still have dry hands, but with this you apply a couple of days and you're set for the week. And this is coming from a person working in an office with the most horrendously dry air.
L'occitane Almond Shower Oil: you would expect me to use oil in the shower also, wouldn't you? Well this one is the one! Smells incredible and is very friendly to my skin.
Make-up wise I also have, of course, a couple of great discoveries.
Eyeko Fat Brush Mascara: ever since I got it in June, I cannot stop raving about it. I also did a review when I first got it that you can find HERE
Rosebut Lip Salve and Dr Organic Rose Otto Lip Serum: are clear proof that I have a thing for roses. These two were included in my post about My Favorite Lip Balms and you will understand why after reading that. For the record, I've been using Rosebud since 2011 and still find it amazing.
Benecos Baked Blush: was the biggest surprise! I had gotten it and a beauty bloggers event but didn't want to use it because the color seemed too dark for me. Very mistaken I was! It is the perfect color with the perfect shimmer, because I do like my shimmers a lot.
Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer: still my favorite concealer. The texture is ideal for me, and so it the "match perfection" that it does. I've reviewed it Right Here back in the day.
Catrice Gel Eyeliner: has been a huge surprise, because I didn't expect such a great product for so little money. I wanted to try a gel liner and this was the only one I could find. Safe to say, we have never been apart since. The full post about it is HERE.
MeMeMe Beat The Blues Highlighter: I wanted Benefit's SunBeam for the longest time and when I finally went to get it, I discovered it was much too orange for me. And then I discovered this one. Match made in heaven! You can see the swatches and the full review in The Post I Wrote About It.
MUA Lipsticks: biggest surprise of the year! Who knew they had such nice lipsticks! It's about lipsticks in general, but if you want to see my favorite, then you can check out my post from earlier this week about the MUA LipBoom in Ok.com.
And last but not least, nail polishes
China Glaze: this was the year of me finally getting my hands on China Glaze polishes and I am extremely happy about that, because they turned out to be my favorite brand. The formula is unbeatable and so is the brush. The one you see here is Surfin' For Boys and it was the neon I had been looking for a long time! If you click on the link you will also see the swatches and you might agree that it's a gorgeous thing. As a matter of fact, I just wore it two days ago.
Barry M Aqua Glitter: I have a glitter obsession but this is beyond anything. First of all, it's a gorgeous polish that has incredible coverage for being just glitter AND it is so easy to remove! I sometimes don't feel like using glitter because I know what it means to remove it, but this one goes off like any other polish.
HERE is what it looks like on my nails.
Essie Bobbing For Baubles: the most craved color of the year. When I first saw it I had to have it, and it took a while before finding, ordering and finally getting it, but oh was it worth it! It's a color that works with anything. It's cool, it's classic, it's anything you like. On top of that, I think it is the most unique color I have seen. Try to give it a name, I dare you.
HERE it is, in all of its shiny glory.
So those were my favorites, what about you, what have some of your favorites been? Feel free to link me in your comment if you have a similar post up!

November Favorites
Last month, I gracefully botched it, this month I believe I am reasonably on time. I mean, this is progress.
As you know, my skin is quite low maintenance so you are very likely to not see many face products in my favorites.
But this month, it has been all about lips.
It's cold, they need love. So I gave them balms. All sorts of balms. And I also discovered a new one that has become an absolute favorite.
If you can turn cracked, fringy lips into normal ones within 24 hours, you're my best bud!
So in November, MUA reached 35k on Facebook and had a week with discount and free shipping. I had heard way too much for way too long about MUA so I decided if I was ever going to give it a try, I should do it now.
I will tell you, when the package arrived, it was the biggest shock. I am a very fussy lipstick picker and these were just amazing!
I've just become a follower of the matte.
Even if I had tried other matte lipsticks before, they never really worked and the color palette I's accept to try was pretty small.
Well no surprise was bigger than the MUA lipsticks. Every color (two of which I just got because they were super cheap and I said I might as well, but didn't expect to use ) looked perfect on me!
Also impressing, the Heaven and Earth palette . You would't think you'd get that for such a small price.
My polish of choice has been the Mi Ny in Forever Young.Flattering for long and short nails alike, you can see some swatches Here.
What I also discovered is the Benecos Natural Baked Blush. I got this one at a beauty bloggers meeting couple weeks ago and the color looked a bit too dark for me, but I was wrong. It's the perfect blush, that stays on you all day.
My issue is, I didn't know the brand, and I still have no clue where to buy more of their things. I shall investigare.
You know how much I like the Eyeko Fat Brush, right? If you don't, I must invite you to read all about it Here, because it is a thing of beauty.
And here we are in the lip section.The Dr Organic Rose Otto Lip Serum is a lovely thing, that smells great, does a great job, has great ingredients and has never harmed any bunnies.A win-win-win-win situation if you ask me.
And now to my favorite: the Apidermaliv balm that has a grand total of four ingredients! Right up my alley! And it has transformed my lips from disaster to greatness in 24 hours. I'm sticking to this guy!

As you know, my skin is quite low maintenance so you are very likely to not see many face products in my favorites.
But this month, it has been all about lips.
It's cold, they need love. So I gave them balms. All sorts of balms. And I also discovered a new one that has become an absolute favorite.
If you can turn cracked, fringy lips into normal ones within 24 hours, you're my best bud!
So in November, MUA reached 35k on Facebook and had a week with discount and free shipping. I had heard way too much for way too long about MUA so I decided if I was ever going to give it a try, I should do it now.
I will tell you, when the package arrived, it was the biggest shock. I am a very fussy lipstick picker and these were just amazing!
I've just become a follower of the matte.
Even if I had tried other matte lipsticks before, they never really worked and the color palette I's accept to try was pretty small.
Well no surprise was bigger than the MUA lipsticks. Every color (two of which I just got because they were super cheap and I said I might as well, but didn't expect to use ) looked perfect on me!
Also impressing, the Heaven and Earth palette . You would't think you'd get that for such a small price.
My polish of choice has been the Mi Ny in Forever Young.Flattering for long and short nails alike, you can see some swatches Here.
What I also discovered is the Benecos Natural Baked Blush. I got this one at a beauty bloggers meeting couple weeks ago and the color looked a bit too dark for me, but I was wrong. It's the perfect blush, that stays on you all day.
My issue is, I didn't know the brand, and I still have no clue where to buy more of their things. I shall investigare.

September Favorites!
It's that time again!
I know, it took me long enough to post this, didn't it?
Well here we go, my favorite things from the past month.
You'll see some good ol' friends and some new faces.
And since we're speaking of faces, let's start with that.
Favorites for my Face
As you might have noticed, I don't plaster my face with much, but these two are very very handy together.
The MeMeMe Sunbeam still holds its spot as favorite illuminator and you can read my review about it HERE
The Tinted Moisturizer from Florex I've also recently introduced to you in This Post and it will stay with me until the sun starts shining very brightly again.
Let's move on to The Eyes, shall we?
I'm very much a sucker for Gel Eyeliner and this one from Catrice is still my favorite. If you haven't tried it yet, want to, or don't know what kind of liner can work best for you, I suggest you check out my post about Picking Eyeliners.
Eyeko Fat Brush once more! I think you know by now I really like this mascara, but in case you don't, let me direct you to the post where you can find out why I like it so much. It's Right HERE.
Let's not forget the eyelash curler.This brilliant invention makes any lashes look 10 times better! I can't imagine not using it every single day.
And last,but not least: Nails!
Such awesome autumn colors,both of them!
The first one is Essie Bobbing for Baubles and you can see what it looks like on my nails HERE.
What a unique color it is! I'm really glad I found and got it.
The second one is Catrice After Eight and if you have a bit of patience, by next week, you will be able to see how it looks on my nails also, because the post about my Top Autumn Polishes is coming up and this one is in it.
How about you, what have your September Favorites been?

Pink Pretties: The Girly Beauty Products
Let's face it, we're all girls, or at least most of us here. Which meas that along the way we have given into pink once or twice. Maybe we're not wearing pink shoes or pink dresses, but sometimes you see something pink and go "how cuuuuute!".
Even I admit to it.
So I figured I'd round up some of my products that make me feel really cute and girly and show them to you.
That's a lot of pink you say? Why yes, yes it is!
And I threw in a lollipop for good measure. The Pink demanded it!
Let's see what we have, shall we?
Eyeko Fat Brush
Not pink per se, but pretty with a touch of pink. Would be magnificent if they'd actually do a mascara in fuchsia or another bright tone like that. I'll admit I might end up very tempted to buy it. If after my numerous mentions of this gorgeous thing, like in my August Favorites , in The Battle With Chanel and MAC or in my actual Review about the Eyeko Fat Brush , you still don't know Mr Eyeko, then I suggest you check those out, to see why this is a product I won't be giving up soon.
That and it's so fluffly I'm gonna die!!!
China Glaze Hang Ten Toes
This polish is from the Summer Neons that China Glaze brought out and it's more than anything, the girliest pink I own. Not to mention it also being a neon. I say, a pink win-win situation right there!
If you wonder what it looks like, then wonder no more, because you can see it on my nails Right Here
Alove Lotion Bar
This recent discovery of mine came courtesy of a good friend who actually makes them. That's why I can also be sure that the ingredients listed are indeed in it and when I say it's organic and preservative free, I have the certainty it is indeed. Avocado, Coconut and Olive Oil, plus Shea Butter AND Vitamin E in one little cupcake. It has been a life saver so many times. Its size makes it super handy to just carry around and whip out even when only your hands are feeling a bit dry,and let's face it: How cute is the pink polka dot packaging!!!
You can win one of these if you check out my International Giveaway, so I think even just for this, it's worth entering.
FM Baked Blush
I'll go ahead and admit I have no idea what brand FM is. My mother came to me one day and gave me this blush, and I have to say it looked so pretty and even prettier on my skin, that I decided to hang on to it.
Lollipop
Its first cameo on the blog, so everyone, a round of applause! The sad news is...lollipop didn't make it. The good news is, it was delicious!
But tell me, don't you have some pretty products you just love looking at and that make you feel way more girly than usual?
