My Morning Skincare Routine

Sometimes I wish I had a very simple skincare routine, but as a beauty blogger, I try out many products quite often and I usually switch between a totally different skincare lineup every 2-3 months. I try to base my skincare around cleansing balms, hydrating serums and nourishing face creams to keep my skin happy, but one ingredient my face has been loving more than anything else is hyaluronic acid. Today, I am sharing my morning skincare lineup with short reviews of each product I am currently using. 

Roses De Chloé EDT Review

Oh my .... Let's just take a moment to appreciate the beautiful packaging of Roses De Chloé EDT. The bottle is utterly gorgeous and very elegant and I am displaying it in a special spot, in front of my other perfumes :) I don't actually own a full size original Chloé EDT, but I do have a couple of samples of it and it smells amazing. If you love the original, you will probably fall in love with Roses De Chloé, released to celebrate the 5th birthday of the Chloé fragrance.

The Herb Body Map

When I was asked, if I would like to feature this infographic on the blog, I just had to say yes. I am obsessed with natural remedies and you will never see me taking  over-the-counter medicines or going to the doctor for other medication. I don't want to put unnecessary chemicals  into my body. I very rarely get ill and when I do catch something, I use 100% natural remedies to cure everything and my symptoms are very mild and easy to treat. The key to stay healthy and have a strong immune system is in healthy eating and it is one of the reasons why I eat clean! I make sure to pack my menu with vitamin C rich foods, fatty fish, nuts, seeds, garlic, onions, apples, superfoods and powerful herbs and they work wonders! I might even prepare a little guide about dealing with winter colds the natural way. Let me know, if you would like to read it :)

My A/W Fake Tanning Guide

I love a bit of fake tan, especially during the A/W season. It makes me feel more confident and adds a healthy glow to my face and body. Today, I would like to share some of my favourite fake tanning products I use and repurchase regularly, plus some new additions  to my routine.

The 'Carrie' Necklace

I usually go for statement necklaces, but I thought it was time to try something more dainty. I am not obsessed with Sex And The City or Carrie Bradshaw, but I quite like the idea of a name necklace, longs it isn't huge or tacky :)

Sephora Highlighting Compact Powder in Gold

Sephora Highlighting Compact Powder - Dore/Golden (£9.20)

First of all, I can't believe we don't have Sephora in UK. It's so unfair and... It doesn't make sense. Thankfully, I was able to get my hands on this gorgeous highlighter when my sisters were coming for a visit all the way from Poland. Sephora's own range is reasonably priced and this beaut was around the £10 mark. It is much cheaper in US and I believe that it was available in the sale for just $5!!!

Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler Review

I have been meaning to order the Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler (£20.00) since I read about it years ago, but... I didn't really want to pay £20.00 for it. I kept buying cheaper curlers and guess what? They all fell apart after a couple of uses or didn't even curl my lashes properly. I am sure I spent much more than £20 on eyelash curlers in the past, so I should have bought Shu Uemura ones in the first place. They are definitely worth the hype and I am glad I decided to order them from Space NK.

Poison Ivy Halloween Eye Makeup Look and Hair Style

I am sooo excited to share this Halloween Makeup Look with you :) I was asked to take part in a hair styling challenge to recreate the Poison Ivy look, but I decided to add a couple of finishing touches, like contact lenses and cool lashes to make it more interesting. It was sooo much fun!

Love Me Beauty Box - October

I hope you are ready for another rave review of a beauty box :) haha. Seriously, I couldn't be happier with my October Love Me Beauty Box. Since the launch a couple of months ago, LMB did not disappoint with the product selection and quality. There is always something for everyone and most products are full size. Perfect! In October, I picked menu 3 and here are the fabulous products I received:

Healthy Eating Update

If you follow me on instagram, you probably know that I am obsessed with healthy food. I mention it on the blog too, but I should definitely talk about it more often. I get tons of emails asking me about food and recipes, but the biggest part for me is just about paying attention to what goes into my body. The "Neal's Yard Remedies Healing Foods" book, is perfect for those who are trying to make a change and eat 'better', or those who already enjoy a healthy diet and want to know more about certain foods and get some recipe ideas. 

Sigma Defining Eyes Palette By Tiffany D -Review, Swatches and Makeup Looks

Sigma Defining Eyes Palette* ( £47.95 via www.cocktailcosmetics.co.uk)

I mentioned in some of my previous reviews, that I love the formula of Sigma's eye shadows. They are nicely pigmented, easy to blend and long lasting. As soon as I found out about the gorgeous Defining Eyes Palatte, I couldn't wait to try it and share my review on the blog. The palette is a collaboration with a youtuber Tiffany D and features eight eye shadows, a double ended eye pencil, two gel liners and a dual ended brush.

Little Treat: Diptyque BAIES Candle (review)

Diptyque Baies Mini Candle (70g, £20.00)

As soon as I realised that the Baies candle smells like blackcurrant leaves and roses, I had to have it! Buying the full size wasn't an option at the time, so I settled on the smaller, 70g version. It promises to burn for up to 30 hours, so it isn't actually that expensive.
