Friend's nails #3

Hello darlings!

Today I am going to show you a manicure, I did some time ago. I did it on my friend, for her grandparent's wedding anniversary.


We decided for a simple design. We used Manhattan nude nail polish and this gorgeous navy blue nail polish from Artdeco. To make it a little bit more special we used Konad m65 plate on her middle finger.



The combination of this two colours came out really sophisticated and appropriate for the occasion. The nude colour is just perfect for her and her skin tone, but I just can't get enough of this navy blue colour. For me it is the most beautiful dark blue and also the nail polish is very well pigmented and dries quickly.

What do you think of this manicure?

New in #1

Hello darlings :)

I decided to write my first new in post. Yay for me :D I have a lot of new products from January; some New year's presents, my birthday gifts and some purchases. So this will be a long post, but I hope you will still like it :)

Lip products


Moj dan-  Hydrocare lip balm - It's a classic lip balm, my mum got for me. It is actually from Mercator (chain of shops here in Slovenia) and is quite cheap, so I didn't expect much. But now I think it's pretty decent and I had many lip balms from well known brands that were worse than this one.

Garnier Repair Lip Balm -  This is my all time favourite lip balm and I had to buy one, just to keep in stock. In my opinion this is the best balm for chapped lips. Its super hydrating and has saved my lips many, many times.

Catrice - Ultimate Colour lipstick  In A Rosegarden - This was an impromptu purchase. It's a lovely nude/pink colour with decent shimmer. The colour is similar to my natural lips.




I won this beautiful set of Burt's Bees goodies in giveaway, hosted by Gejba Parokeets (click here for her awesome blog). I got Beeswax Lip Balm with Vitamin E & Peppermint, Nourishing Lip Balm with Mango Butter, Lip Shine in Whisper and Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream. I haven't tried all of the products, but I am using the cuticle cream on a daily basis and a must say I really like it. It smells so fresh like lemons and is super nourishing.

Nail polishes


Look by Bipa - Coloured Sand in Glitter Gold - I bought this one in Vienna and it was love on first application :D you can read more here. Also Bipa loved my photo and posted it on their Instagram, check it out here.

Catrice - Ultimate Nail Lacquer in George Blueney - I received this nail polish for my birthday and it's really gorgeous colour. It reminds me of deepest sea. And also look at the name, I just love this name :D

Look by Bipa - Special Effect in Gold Changer - I also bought this one in Vienna. I haven't tested it yet, but I hope it really is this beautiful chromatic nail polish.

Bourjois - 1 Second Gel in Melon - I love, love, love Bourjois nail polishes! I love their brush, texture and staying power. So I got this one for New year's and can't wait for warmer days to start wearing it.


  
Hair products
 

Aussie - 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor -  Mateja from Mateja's Beauty World (check it out here) was raving about this product and because my hair needed more care in this cold times, I decided to try it. And for now I like it. And the smell! The smell is perfect!

Balea Professional - Oil Repair Haaroel - This oil also smells wonderful and sinks into the hair really quickly and moisturizes my hair well.

Body and face


Fenjal - Intensive Creme Dusche - Also one of my birthday gifts. I haven't tested it yet, but it contains almond oil and smells divine, so I hope it is as moisturizing as it promises.

Fenjal - Creme Soap - Also part of my birthday gift. As for the above product it smells divine.

The Body Shop - Seaweed Ionic Clay Mask - I got myself this mask in Vienna and used it a few times. It dries pretty quickly, but it definitely improved my skin. The pores are smaller after I use it and the skin feels so soft.


The Body Shop - Vineyard Peach Body Butter - One more thing from Vienna. First I must say it smells like heaven. Just like fresh peaches. And I can smell it for a long time after I apply it. It sinks into the skin quickly and moisturizes it so well.

Afrodita - Sugar Scrub - Everyone was talking about this body scrub, but I never bought it. But then my friend got it for me. And I don't know how I lived before using this wonderful product. It smells divine, feels so good and nourishes my skin like nothing else.


Elizabeth Arden - Green Tea Scent Spray - This is my all time favourite scent and I use it almost every day. It smells so fresh and I always have to have it.

Zoeva brushes



In Vienna I bought myself three Zoeva brushes. 229 Eye Finish, 330 Lip Contour and 231 Luxe Petit Crease. They are really soft and so worth the money. I love using them and they make my make-up routine so much easier and more fun.

Last but not least


Last is my favourite birthday gift. My friends got me this beautiful L'Occitane Arlésienne set. It contains Shower Cream and Beauty Milk. It smells so nice and flowery (saffron, rose and violet) and also the whole packaging is amazing. They also got me Betty Brush, I wanted brush like this for so long and now I won't change it back. It makes my hair brushing so much easier. And last thing is this small truck at the top of the box. It may seem like nothing special, but it's my favourite part of the gift. It's like an inside joke, because of my unreasonable love for a certain stupid song.

As you can see I have many new products and I am so thankful for all my friends and family, who pamper me so much! 

So if you stayed with me till the end, congratulations and thank you very much :D
