Melvita Bourbon Geranium Floral Water

I've been loving this in colder days. It's just another layer of moisture. I like to spray this on my face before using serums and cream, which makes it feel like I lock some moisture in. It's also refreshing and a great easy no effort layer of moisture, when you're sitting in the room all day. That central heating can really do some damage to your skin. 

Alpstories Cold Pressed 100% Pure Organic Argan Oil

As with Melvita floral water, I also need to use this up. Both have fairly short expiring dates and I don't usually finish a product. I decided that I must finish it in the right time, because I just tend to use many different products at once. This is such a good multipurpose oil. I've been using it on my body, especially on the upper part, where I get very dry patches in the winter. I like that it's a very pure form of oil, which means no irritation for my sensitive dry skin. It's great and it really helped my skin keep the moisture after the shower.

Essence LE Love Joy Care Intensive Care Hand Butter

I've been delaying this review for so long. It's just been so much product reviews lately and I'm not even sure, if I will write it, because it's obviously not in stores anymore. This is one of the best hand creams. I really like it, because it's not heavy or greasy, but it moisturizes your hands and it feels like a thinner version of butter and cream mixed together. The smell is a bit funky to me. It should be cotton milk scented and to me it smells like Play-Doh. The thing I like the most about it, is the fact that it's not irritating. Many heavily scented hand creams can irritate my very dry skin, which is a nightmare. Not this one.

MAC Pro Longwear Concealer NC15

I've been "saving" this for special occasion, but then I got tired of saving it all. Why do I do this? On most of the packaging it says to use up in 6 months and then I just use it for too long, because I'm saving it for those never-to-come special days. I forgot how much I like this. It has such a good coverage and it could easily be used as a foundation, if you thin it out. Since my skin has been acting up in the past month, I've been loving this fuller coverage. Especially on my red-ish cheeks and under the eyes for a brightening effect. 

H&M Pure Radiance Powder Blusher Brown Sugar

One of my favorite blush shades. It's just such a nice brownish peach and it looks very natural on me. I like it because it's matte and on the days when I go all out with highlighter (who am I kidding, I do that all the time!), I like to balance it with a matte blush. I especially like to pair this shade with more neutral looks, because I don't really like bright pinkish or red blushes. It looks too unnatural on me. 

Urban Decay Original Eyeshadow Primer Potion

I got this from Nadja, because she had one extra tester. I've been testing it out in January and oh my God! It's so good! I am not a fan of very thin formula, which doesn't actually covers anything on your lids, but boy does this last. I haven't noticed my eyeshadows being particularly more vivid, but they stayed the same all day. No creasing, nothing. I do get a bit of creasing through the day with Avon primer, but not with this one. I am not sure if this is just because of the cold outside and the fact that I don't sweat a lot these days, so I'll have to test it in warmer days too.

Essence All About Nudes Eyeshadow Palette

This I got as a gift from Tatjana, because nude is just not her cup of tea. It is totally mine. I love this palette. Especially the upper row, because it has warmer neutral browns. The first shade is great all over shade and the second and third are amazing for the crease. I almost always use brown matte shades in my crease and this palette has such nice light warm brown shades. I've definitely been using it a lot. Although I don't care much for other shades in the palette, especially not cooler taupe shades. 

Diamond Beauty Eyeliner

I got a chance to work with one of the companies that has Japanese makeup brands - Japan Skin and I was ecstatic. Asian market has such an amazing makeup products and no one does better eyeliners than Japan. Since I tried it, I've used it every single day. I know this should probably be in my February favorites, because I haven't been using it all month, but I just had to include it here. It has a brush like pen form and it's so thin. You can do the most precise piece of art with this. It's black and once it sets it doesn't move all day. I'm definitely never again buying eyeliners from our drugstores. 

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Stockholm

My favorite matte liquid lipstick. The formula is so lightweight and non drying. It's one of the most comfortable matte lipstick formulas. I love the shade. It's perfect my kind of warm peachier brown. I've been using it a lot and it's also so easy to put on. I just apply it straight from the applicator and it's very even. I'll do a full review soon.

Ebay Metallic Contour Brush

My fake Real Techniques metallic brushes from Ebay are all amazing, but I've been especially loving contour brush. It's just so easy to contour with it. I just press it under my cheek bone and tap it slightly down to my nose. It gives you an instant contour with a very nicely blended line. So easy. 

Avon Mesmerize Perfume

I like the black version, but I love the blue one more. It's been a while since I've been using very sweet fragrances, like Britney Spears. I've neglected them and I guess the joy of using them came back to me. This is such a sweet white peach and sandalwood scent. It also has pink peony in it, but I don't smell it much (or maybe I just choose to ignore it). It's one of those really sweet scents and I've been loving it so much. Sandalwood makes it more long lasting and a bit more sophisticated, but I just love a strong sweet punch of white peach in the beginning.

Face Paint by Lisa Eldridge

I haven't been as excited about a book in a long time. This is such an easy read. It's about history of makeup. I've already read half of it and I love it. I especially like all amazing facts from the history and quotes about beauty. I'll definitely do a full review of my favorite facts and lines from this book, but today I'll leave you with this:

"True lovers of beauty do not attempt to paint the lily or add perfume to the rose; but as rose and the lily need rain and sunshine to blossom forth in pristine freshness and fragrance, so do we mortals require the little accessories of the toilette to look our radiant best."

It comes in a dark blue plastic bottle. The bottle is made out of 100% recycled and recyclable plastic material. I believe it's dark for a reason, to preserve the ingredients of the floral water. It contains 200 ml of product and costs 15.30€. You can buy it here or in any Melvita store. 

The ingredients list.

The spray pump works fine. It produces a very fine mist. You can't really control the amount that it comes out, but the mist is so fine that you can't overdue it. I usually spray about 3 to 4 pumps for my entire face and neck. When you spray it on it leaves drops of water on your face. It looks like you've been sweating, but it disappears into the skin.

The water is really refreshing, especially now in the summer days. I admit, I sometimes spritz it all over my face just for the sake of refreshment. It actually does hydrate the skin a little. Especially if you don't like to put much on your skin, since it can get really oily in the summer, this will act as some sort of a toning hydrating product. That being said, I like to use it instead of a toner, because if I'm being honest I don't really use the usual toners. This is great, especially because you can just spritz it and you're done. I also use it as a setting spray. I spray it all over my face, after I've done my makeup and it helps to make your make not look as powdery and more like it has settled into the skin.

This water makes my skin feel a bit smoother. It's not like you've made yourself a physical or chemical peeling, but the surface does seem smoother to the touch. I can't really say if my pores are looking any smaller or blurred, because I would probably need to use this for a longer period of time. It may make the appearance of them a bit less visible, but the difference is minimal. I have problems with enlarged pores, especially in the summer, so this might work better on someone with smaller pores in general.

The smell of it is very well, floral. To me it smells like if you've smelled a flower with a bit of spiciness mixed with it. I wouldn't say I'm crazy about the smell, because I usually avoid any kind of floral scents, but for some reason it doesn't bother me as much. I would say that the scent fades away really quickly, which is a plus for me.

I also need to address the fact that I find this floral water to be fine for slightly sensitive skin. I have in general sensitive skin and it didn't produce any irritations. I will say on days when my skin is really irritated, you might want to avoid it, because it may give you some red patches. I think this is due to the floral scent, which can aggravate sensitive skin a little. 

I've never really tried any of the floral waters before, but I seem to really like the refreshing feeling of it and the non fuss application that can replace your usual toner (if you use it). This is perfect for summer and for anyone that loves quick products for slight hydration with the benefits of an over all more beautiful skin with the use of longer period. 

Melvita mi je predstavila svet cvetnih vodic. Imajo velik nabor cvetnih vodic za vsakršno potrebo. Pred kratkim so k svoji liniji cvetnih vodic dodali novo in jaz sem jo že preizkušala približno dva tedna. 

Vodica je zelo osvežilna, še posebej v teh vročih poletnih dneh. Priznam, včasih si jo našpricam samo zaradi tega, ker mi daje tak odličen osvežilen občutek. Vsekakor malo navlaži kožo. Še posebej v teh vročih dneh, če si neradi nanašate kreme in ostale izdelke, saj je lahko koža precej bolj mastna. Potem je ta vodica več kot odlična za rahlo hidratacijo z nemastnim občutkom na koži. Jaz jo rada uporabim namesto tonerja, ker če sem iskrena, klasičnega tonerja niti ne uporabljam. Ta vodica je tako enostavna, samo našpricam in lahko nadaljujem z ostalimi izdelki. Uporabljam ga tudi kot sprej za fiksiranje makeupa. Pošpricam ga po obrazu po tem ko končam z nanosom makeupa. Vodica naredi videz manj pudrast in bolj kot da so se ličila že zlila z mojo kožo in naravnimi olji. 

Trditev, da zgladi površino kože vsekakor drži. S tem ne mislim, da bo občutek enak kot če ste si nanesle fizičen ali kemičen piling, je pa površina kože vsekakor gladka na otip. Glede zmanjšanih ali zabluranih por ne morem povedati veliko, saj se mi zdi, da bi jo morala uporabljati dlje časa, da bi videla rezultate. Mogoče so pore res malo manj vidne, ampak razlika je minimalna. Jaz imam na sploh probleme s povečanimi porami, sploh poleti in dvomim, da bi lahko kak izdelek to zakril. 

Vonj je zelo cvetličen. Mene spominja na trenutek ko povoham rožico. V vonju se meša tudi vonj začimb. Ne bom rekla, da sem navdušena nad vonjem, ker na sploh ne maram svetličnih vonjev, vendar me iz nekega razloga ne moti preveč. Sam vonj kar hitro izhlapi in ne ostane na koži. 

Vodica se mi zdi v redu za rahlo občutljivo kožo. Jaz imam na sploh občutljivo kožo in vodica ni izzvala iritacij. Samo ob dnevih, ko je moja koža res ekstremno občutljiva, lahko dobim po uporabi kakšen rdeč madež. Zdi se mi, da je izvor iritacije v cvetličnem vonju. 

Nikoli prej nisem preizkusila nobene cvetne vodice. Najbolj všeč mi je osvežilen občutek in enostaven nanos, ki lahko zamenja navaden toner (če ga uporabljate). To je perfekten izdelek za poletje in vsakogar ki si želi hiter izdelek za hiter učinek nežne hidratacije z učinkom lepše polti skozi daljše obdobje uporabe.
