It's the end of this year, which if you'd say it was a shitshow, it would be understatement. I'm finishing with my December favorites which were lots of creamy makeup and some new skin care I loved. 

I am very late on my New In posts, so this one features mostly the products I already have full reviews on. There is a few skin care bits that I haven't talked about yet, but I am trying out as well. Expect another new in very soon with some more new products I got.

I have had these products for quite a while now, but I just couldn't come around to write the actual review. Then I realized I accidently deleted my previous notes on these and their comparisons, but I managed to save most of my thought and write them all down. It's all about the new products for autumn and winter 2020/2021 that have been added to Catrice range. Catrice is one of my favorite drugstore brands so I am always looking forward to trying new products. 

Catrice has made Advent Calendar for 2020 that is DIY, so you can do it yourself. They've included 24 product, each for every day leading up to Christmas and you can arrange them into small bags in your preferred order. You can also gift some of these products to others, if you know you won't be using them all. I believe this isn't the first DIY calendar by them, they've had one last year as well.  I'm a little late to posting it, but I hope it helps, if you're still considering getting it.

I rarely do these wishlists posts, probably once a year around holidays. It's just one of the more fun blog posts that I get to do more for myself than anyone else really. This is sort of like my shopping list for when I have the budget to invest and some of these never get to my home and that's ok too. I just love doing these sort of lists so that I make better choices when sales come around and I don't just buy whatever is on sale. 

Essence is slowly introducing a lot of vegan products into their regular range and I had the chance to try out few skin care and makeup products from Hello, Good Stuff collection. From what I've tried, I liked. I think it's a very descent drugstore vegan option for those interested. 

Very uneventful month is behind us and I only hope December will be a merry one. I've been testing lots of new products this month and I am featuring some of those that I liked the most. I don't apply much makeup these days, because I don't leave the house much anyway. 

I rarely do classic black smokey eye, because in general I prefer lighter colors on my eyes. But I thought I'll do tutorial of how I like to do classic smokey eye since I know many love this style of makeup. You can use same application for any other colors like purple, brown or orange smokey eyes. 

I think you might have noticed by now that I love to try out brow products. It's one of those fields that I'm never quite satisfied with when it comes to doing my own makeup. If you have sparse brows like I do, you need all the help you can get. I was so excited when two of my favorite drugstore brands - Essence and Catrice came out with their brow pen versions that I had to try them both. Here's comparison of them. 

I'm a little late posting about this Avon Naturals collection named Aloha Monoi. It was released in summer and features very summery scent of coconut and tiare flower. The whole collections includes shower creme, bubble bath, body scrub, body lotion and scented spritz. I tried out three of those.

Wet n Wild isn't a new brand in Slovenia. It was here already, but then it sort of disappeared for a while and now it's back. I remember their lipsticks being really popular back in the day, especially Bare It All shade, though I never tried any. I have quite a few of their face products - highlighters and blushes which I really like. 

It's one of the brands that has been cruelty free from the beginning, they came out with first drugstore black nail polish and keeps their prices as low as they were in the beginning, which is one of the reasons I love them. Their products are affordable, but the quality is also good.

October has been a month of testing several new products that I received and I am featuring some of them in my favorites. Autumn is in its full swing and I've also brought out some of my seasonal favorites that I am falling back in love with. 

I wasn't going to do Halloween makeup this year, because the situation is just what it is. Let's be honest, most of the world is staying in at home and there aren't any activities. But hey, maybe I'm wrong and there will be Zoom parties going on. Anyway, I got last minute idea to include face mask into my look, as masks have become the new norm in Western world. I didn't know what to call this look. It sort of reminds me of ninja in a way,  but then the face should look like it's melting. 

Here is the last part of Bronx Colors reviews and it's about two of their lip products. Matte Lip Tint and The Legendary N°2 Lipstick. One was love at first try and the other one complete opposite. 

Continuing my review of Bronx Colors, here are all the eye products I got the chance to try out. There is a bit of everything from brushes to mascara. 

September flew by like crazy. Days are getting shorter and I am starting to feel cold all the time again. Summer has quickly turned into fall. This months I actually didn't experiment much with makeup. Here are just some products that I reached for over and over again. 

I bought Purito Centella Green Level Unscented Sun sunscreen because at the time I couldn't order on Ebay my usual Asian sunscreens, so I over payed for this one. It's one of those popular Asian sunscreens and I was mostly intrigued by centella asiatica extract in it. Although, it turns out it's not my favorite in terms of texture.

I've been trying out Bronx Colors products which is a new brand that just came to Slovenian stores. I have never heard of the brand before.  Products are inspired by Bronx district from New York. They draw inspiration from textures and colors of that vibrant city. 

I have received so many Bronx products that I have decided to split my review posts into three parts - face, eye and lip products. So expect two more posts. 

I've accumulated quite a few of new products, so prepare for a longer post. I really should do these more often to make them more enjoyable for you.

I was usually never a fan of cream products, but now I kind of like them for a more natural makeup look, when I want to look good, but can't be bothered to apply a full on makeup look. Avon added to the creamy trend with their new 2 In One Cushion Cloud Creamy Lip & Cheek Colours. 

August has been busy and my makeup was kept at minimal. I have been testing some new skin care products which have deserved its place in this months favorites. I brought back out some of my old makeup favorites that I particularly love for hot summer days. 

I have already talked about Avon Distillery skin care range which was first vegan range from Avon. Recently they also added Distillery makeup range with pressed powders, mascara and single eyeshadows. I have tried most of them out. Here are my thoughts on this range.

I've always loved NYX as a brand, because it's sort of like a drugstore alternative to MAC and they always have great shade selection. Not that I've tried much of their products, because we don't have them in Slovenian drugstore, but I am always so happy when I can get some in person. Their Slim Lip Pencils quickly became one of my favorite, mostly because of the wide selection of nude shades that they offer.
