Hi guys! I
know it had been ages since I updated this blog and I really missed blogging
and sharing my thoughts so here it goes: Summer Favorites 2014!
This year
my Boyfriend and I went to Romania for a summer vacation, so a lot of products
are things that I loved during our trip there. We had wonderful time and yes we
have visited The Dracula’s castle!
Satsuma
body sorbet and Shower gel from the Body Shop
There is
not better thing after a long day sightseeing and walking around than to take a
shower and then apply cold from the fridge this body sorbet. It’s very
refreshing and revitalizing. I really enjoyed it.
I totally recommend
it for people who don’t like the greasy-oily feeling that some body lotion and
body butters have.
Tea tree
Skin Clearing Toner-The body Shop
In summer
my skin tends to be more oily than usual so I picked that up to help me clear
my face and I love it! I love the tea tree toner from Lush too but we don’t
have a shop here. My bottle is almost over. In fact between the two I may
prefer the Body Shop one.
Tecnoskin-Total
Beauty Face Cream CC
This was a
gift and it totally worked for me. I didn’t know this brand before and I will
definitely check them out in the future as well. The consistency is light and
it didn’t break me out. The color was perfect for my skin, at first I thought
that it would be dark but it adapts to my natural color, not full coverage but
it does make the skin glowing and gives an even tone.
I love this
because you don’t have to use a lot of products. It’s a moisturizer, a sun
block and it has a light color to it as well.
From the
website: Due to its multivalent
anti-aging factor, it offers anti-aging action reinforcing thus and protecting
the ally of firm skin, the collagen. At the same time, it effectively and
constantly hydrates making the skin look fresh and renewed. Furthermore, it
offers a uniform skin tone and erases any possible imperfections making the
skin look radiant. With antioxidant action and sun protection SPF30.
I think
it’s a greek company because in the tube it’s written Made in Greece.
Apivita Refreshing Body milk with Fig and Aloe
Another gift from my Mom this time! With 91% natural ingredients this body milk moisturizes very well and sinks in quick. Usually I don’t like figs in perfume or bath and body products but this has a spa like quality and it just smell clean and refreshing so I used it so much this summer it’s almost over!
Korres
Blush Stick in Pink
Lately, I
have started to wear blush and I love how I look with a little something on my
cheeks. This was easy to wear, suitable
for traveling and I got a set with 3 colours for almost 10 euro. You can beat
that!
Heroine
lipstick-MAC
This is one
of my favorite lipsticks for day wear. I am so glad this is permanent because
this summer I wore it almost every day!
Perfumes
Brit by
Burberry
Another
gift! Now you know that I don’t wear designer perfumes because I prefer the
handmade perfume oils so , I kept this on my closet. Then, I was in need for
something refreshing and fruity after the Satsuma sorbet and I remember it!
Notes (from
Sephora):
Italian Lime, Icy Pear, Green Almond, White Peony, Sugared Almonds, Amber, Mahogany, Vanilla, Tonka Bean
Italian Lime, Icy Pear, Green Almond, White Peony, Sugared Almonds, Amber, Mahogany, Vanilla, Tonka Bean
On me it’s like a lime and pear sugar candy with a bit of powder
underneath. If you want a work friendly pick me up scent this is it.
Bridal Veil by Possets
Orange blossom, neroli, and the scent of silk
woven into the most sheer of chiffon.
I love
neroli and orange blossoms. Even when I have the real blooms on my hands in the
spring I can smell them from hours. They just make me happy!
This
perfume has the same effect on me. It’s a simple blend but so well made. One of
my favorite Possets perfumes!
Thanks for readingJ
