Avon Nutra Effects Restorative Cleansing Milk

One of those morning cleansers or last cleanse that I just loved. It's like a milky white texture, but it's not too liquid. I love it, because it has a cream like feeling to it and it doesn't leave your skin squeaky clean. It's perfect for colder months or for those with sensitive skin that need some moisture layer on top. It has a very mild scent to it.

L'Oreal Pure Clay Glow Mask

With holiday season comes a lot of eating. My skin tends to react to all of this and I have had a lot of breakouts. That is when I resorted to this mask. I love the fact that it spreads easily and dries to a serious clay finish. It feels like it sucks out all impurities from the skin. To me the scent is somewhat herbal and pleasant. I really liked it.

Paula's Choice Resist Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum

This is a tester and I've been loving it this month, because my skin got dry, especially around my moth. There was some serious flaking going on. This has transparent very thick gel consistency and it's really moisturizing to the point of being greasy. I loved it as a very hydrating and heavy serum under my usual creams. Unfortunately, I already ran out of it.

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation 51 Light Vanilla

I usually use this product in winter season, because it's really moisturizing and it can get a bit greasy looking. But it's perfect for dry skin, because it doesn't emphasize dry patches. I also love the fact that it has a strong yellow undertone. I mix it with my other BB creams and foundations to make them slightly more yellow toned.

E.l.f. Makeup Mist & Set

Yet another winter hero that makes your skin look less powdery and more glowy. I usually use this to set makeup and get rid of powdery look. I also feel like this gives a very natural finish to the skin. It's not for summer, because it makes my skin greasy then, but for now, it's perfect.

Zoeva Caramel Malange

This and Colourpop eyeshadows is all I've been wearing this whole month. If you're a warm toned lover, you would love this. It has a lot of medium and light toned warm matte shades, some lovely shimmery almost metallic ones and one darker plum to create a bit of a smokier look. This is definitely one of my new favorites. Quality is amazing as always and pigmentation is great.

Colourpop Supershock Shadow Game Face and Moonwalk

I'll have a detailed review of these up soon. Texture is mind-boggling. It's like a mousse mixed with cream, but they dry down to a powder finish. Game Face is the perfect shade for all of you that love copper warm rich shades and Moonwalk is a mix of orange, green and gold and it looks stunning on its own or applied on top of other shades. 

H&M Pure Radiance Powder Blusher Apricot

Whenever I want something pinkier, but still in an apricot family, I go for this. It's one of those shades that just goes with everything. Formula has lovely satin finish and it lasts well on my skin. It's also really light, so perfect for fair skin tones

Rimmel Lasting Finish Soft Colour Blush 010 Santa Rose

If I want something peachier, then I go for this. It's so light and perfect for my winter skin tone. It has a bit of shimmer to it, but all in all, looks really natural on the skin. It's probably one of my favorite blush shades ever.

Avon True Colour Perfect Reds Scarlet Siren

Perfect red for all those Christmas and holiday makeup looks. I just adore the formula of this. It's probably one of the most comfortable formulas. The finish is creamy and a bit shiny and it wears lovely. Because I tend to have really dry lips in the winter, I love creamier and comfortable lipsticks and this one is a winner. 

Avon 3D Plumping Lipstick Cantaloupe

This is my kind of perfect nude shade. It's very peachy, but almost a bit brownish. I absolutely adore it with rich warm eyeshadow shades. It's nude, but a bit more colorful than a boring beige.

First purchase is one of those, that I still don't know why I decided to splurge on it. It's the Julez Metallic Temporary Tattoos. I'm sure, you've probably seen these metallic tattoos gaining on popularity. Well, I wanted in on it and never thought that I'd find them in a local shop (Tuš Drogerija). I admit spending 2.96 € is a bit much, for something that's temporary, but damn it, I couldn't help it. I always have a problem with jewelry staining my skin and later loosing the color. At least, I know this one won't. I haven't tried it yet, so I can't report on it, but it should last up to 4 days.

Price: 3.95€ (2.96€ on sale)

They had few designs to choose from and I decided on this one, purely because of that arrow pattern.

Batiste...my favorite dry shampoo. I'll admit that my scalp feels itchy after using it, but that's maybe because I spray it too close to the roots. Does anyone else have that problem as well? I've had a few scents and decided to try another one. One is Asos Exclusive (black white design), one is Blush and my favorite of them all is Tropical. Doh-coconut! Definitely get it for someone you may think is obsessed with hair products. I also ordered one for my mom, to try the "real deal" for the first time:).

Blush and Tropical - 400 ml, costs 7.13€ each.

Asos Exclusive - 200 ml, costs 4.27€.

It happened with my foundations as well! Suddenly, they're all on its last breath. So...since I was forced to buy one, I decided to try Catrice Nude Illusion, which I've heard was even compared to Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk foundation. I have no idea how Armani foundation looks like, but supposedly it's very popular. I can't say it is love at first try with Catrice, because I think it's a bit too light coverage for me. Plus it starts to fade after only four hours of wear. Not sure I like it. I'll have to test it out a bit more.

Price: 7.69€ (30 ml)

I have naturally very bad nails. They split all the time and seem to be very thin. If I don't wear nail polish, they break all the time. The condition got even worse, when I started working in a clothing shop. Because that requires putting clothing on racks and scratching off the sale stickers, when you don't see the code. One of the drugstores (DM) had an Essie nail care discount- 1+1. Since I think there are no good brands of base nail polishes available in my near drugstores, I decided to get Essie. I already have All In One base coat and like it a lot. I don't like the colored Essie nail polishes at all. I decided to take Essie Grow Stronger, which is a base coat that is suppose to harden and protect nails. I also got Essie Help Me Grow base coat, which is suppose to protect nails from damage, splitting and offers smooth base for nail polish. 

1+1 price, so they were 10.99€, together (13.5 ml each).

You also now that I'm not a fan of Catrice nail polishes, but this sparkly gold one, won me over. I decided to get it in a set with a dark chocolate brown. It's buy 1, get 1 free, so I thought why not. The chocolate shade is called 60 Out Of The Dark and the gold glitter is called 41 Two Million Dollar Baby.

Price: 2.59€ (10 ml each).

I've only tried one Alverde body butter and really liked the thick texture of it. When I saw these gift pack of three mini versions with limited edition scents, I couldn't help it. This will probably also be my carry on hand cream. I saw two sets with different scents assortment  and decided to get this one, because I liked the collection of these best. It's aloe vera and mango butter, pomegranate and cocoa butter and hibiscus and shea butter. I like mango version the best, because it smells so fruity. This is also a great gift idea, plus it's limited edition, so you know the person you're buying for doesn't have those yet.

Price: 2.99€ (150 ml together)

Did you buy anything exciting in December? I know you're suppose to buy gifts for others, but sometimes there are offers, that I just can't seem to pass on. :)
