March Favorites

Hello Beauty world!
Today I am writing about my most loved and reached for products for the past month aka my March Favorites :)
This time the photos will be a little bit of a lower quality, since my Canon camera does not want to obey me.
Anyways let's just jump into it ;)

Body Care:
1. Planet spa Indulgence - Thailand lotus flower & champagne - velvety smooth bath elixir 
I have always been more of a shower girl rather than a bath girl. But lately I have started to get more into the bath/relax regime.
And that is why I have fallen in love with this product. It smells amazing and also the smell is not at all overpowering, it's very relaxing and soothing. And it makes my skin very soft after I get out of the bath.

2. Christina Aguilera - Inspire - body lotion
I've had this product for quite a while. It's one of those products that when you get it you really love it and use it all the time, but than you try something new and completely forget about your previous beloved product. Well that happened with this. This month I "rediscovered" this lotion. 
It's a very soft and moisturizing lotion. What I love the most about it is that it absorbs into the skin very quickly after the application.

3. Avon Pur Blanca - Elegance
This is my favorite spring scent. Since I got it I haven't been using any other parfumes and I think I won't stop until I use it up.
I am not very good at describing scents, but I'll try :) It is a very suttle floraly scent, I would describe it as a clean scent (yes as in clean clothes) :D
Well there you go. 

4. Avon Senses - mystique-  body spray - sensual rose gardenia, jasmine, peach & vanilla
Oh if I start with the romantic story of how I met Mr. Body Spray, this blog post would not have an end.
But on a serious note though I really love body sprays... A lot !
And this one is just a perfect scent that just reminds me instantly of flowers and sunny spring days. It's just lovely.


Skincare & Makeup
5. Avon Solutions - winter night cream
This has been the prefect nourishing night cream for this month, since my skin has been transitioning from winter into "warmer" spring (it's not really springy yet in Slovenia ... please send us some sun).
It a thick cream that gently moisturizes my skin after cleansing and washing.
I love the softness that it gives to my skin after I apply it, and also I love how my skin feels the morning after. 


6. Deborah Milano 5 in 1 BB Cream - for all skin types with SPF 20 - 00 Fair rose
I have been trying very hard to give my skin a breather this month and I have tried my best to use as little makeup as possible. Also I have switched from heavy/full coverage foundation to a light coverage BB cream.
It is a lovely product and I love that I don't feel like I have anything on my skin. It is pretty moisturizing, but if you have extremely dry skin I would not recommend it just because it does tend to stick to dry patches. But that is the only downside. And since my skin has been great and not dry at all I have been very satisfied with this BB cream. 


7. Essence kiss care love lip balm - 01 fruit crush
This product has been a dream come true for me. I love a moisturizing lip balm, but it's a whole other world when it's a little like a lipstick and it smells like a bubble gum. That last sentence pretty much explains why I love this product. 

8. Essence I <3 Stage eyeshadow base
This Essence primer has been my loyal companion, since I bought it and it will be soon gone. That makes me very sad, but at the same time happy, because I'll get to repurchase it :)

9. Essence Blossoms etc... - multi colour powder/highlighter - Flower Power
After staying matt for the whole winter, this month I decided to switch it up a bit and use some highlighter. 
And this one is amazing. Not just because of the cool pattern but also because it has a very suttle shimmer to it. The particles are barely wisible. 
I love to put it on my nose, on the chin and on top of my cheekbones for a nice dewy finish. 

10. Essence Sun Club - blondes/lighter skin - all over shimmer for eyes, face & body - Ibiza sun
A multi-functional product. Who doesn't love those?! Well I certainly do.
I have been using this one mostly as eyeshadows and maybe once or twice I used it for adding glow to my cheeks. 

11. Avon Ideal Luminous blush - Peach
This blush has been my favorite blush for more than a month now. It's is actually a shimmery version of my favorite blush of all time, which is Essence's blush in Adorable.
Just like the name says it is a peachy blush with tiny gold shimmer, perfect for spring. It makes your cheek stand out and gives them a lovely glow. 
12. Essence Smokey Eyes pencil - 03 Are you hot? 
Yes I am (just kidding).
This has been another rediscovery within my makeup collection. It a very chubby pencil and also very creamy. I love applying it as a base for a smokey eye and also as eyeliner on the upper lash line. 


13. Essence Eyebrow stylish set
I have a funny story about this product.
When I bought it I was like oh great it has two colors, I'll probably use the darker one first (since I have black hair) and I can use the lighter for my crease. Well things didn't go as planned at all as you might notice in the pictures.
Anyways this is my holy grail product for brows. It's the perfect brown for my brows and I love it very much.

14. Essence Get big Lashes mascara - volume curl
This mascara has surprised me very much. I bought it just to try it out and it's now stuck with me forever.
I love that it has a big chubby wand, and that it is curled. It coats my lashes perfectly and gives them an equal amount of volume and length. 


And that is all for today's post.
I hope you liked my favorites, maybe we had some mutual ones:)
What are your favorites? 


Thank you for reading and have a nice day,
Dee.

Balea Hair Mask

Hello lovelies :)

Today I am reviewing Balea's Hair Mask.

About two months ago I was washing my hair and I noticed that my hair felt a little dry when I would rinse out the shampoo. 
The next day I went on a hunt for a hair mask. After browsing through Dm's hair section for a while, I finally decided to get the Balea one just because it caught my eye and also it attracted me with its promises. 


Product's Information: 

- Balea hair mask with peach and silk

- 200 ml
- For dry and damaged hair without shine
- The caring formula with peach and silk extract helps detangle your hair, while vitamins B3 and B5 help to nourish them. 
- It is a specially soft formula without silicone 


How to use it: 
Distribute the mask evenly on towel dry hair. Keep it in for 2-3 minutes and rinse it of after.

Ingredients: 

How I use it: 

I like to first wash and clean my hair twice using a soft cleansing shampoo. I usually use a anti-dandruff one or something that adds volume. After that I put about two little scoops of the mask beginning first with the roots and massaging it in and after that gliding it onto the rest of my hair and also on the ends. 
Next I leave it a little more than 2 minutes, I leave it about 5-6 minutes. After that I do one more little massage to my roots and I rinse it out. 


Final thoughts and my experience with it :

I could not be more satisfied with this product. It does a great job on my hair.
It moisturizes my hair to a point that it feels nice on the touch and not dry at all. It feels very smooth after I rinse it off, certainly it gives a silky texture to my hair.  
And on top of everything it smells delicious, just like a garden in my hair. I love the smell of peaches and the shine that I get after I blow dry my hair.

I have also noticed that since I've been using it, my hair doesn't fall off as much as it did before.

I have only good things to say about the product that is why I give it a full 10 and I recommend it to all of you that don't want to spend too much on a hair mask, but you still want some moisture into your hair. 


Thank you for reading this post. Please leave me a comment below of what you think and tell me about your experience with hair masks :)
I always enjoy reading all the comments!
Have a nice day, 
xoxo Dee ;)
