My 2013 Favorites

Hello :)

 

Today I'm sharing with you my 2013 beauty and random favorites. 

1. Skincare: My absolute favorite is this Avon Clearskin pore penatrating peeling. I've been using it through the whole year and it has became an irreplaceable product in my skincare routine.

2. Skincare: The L'oreal Hydra Active 3 micelar solution has been a dream for taking off makeup, it is probably the second best thing after the amazing Bioderma H2O.

3. Face: BB creams were big this year too and the Deborah Milano 5 in 1 left a big stamp on me. It is by far one of the best drugstore BB creams I've ever tried. I will keep repurchasing it for sure.

4. Face: Catrice LE Illuminating Base made me fall in love with highlighters and has been my dear companion through this year. We glowed into the night together !

5. Face: I was finally able to try the Collection 2000 concealer. And yes as you all know it is the best ever. I have to get it again. 

6. Eyes: The Sleek Vintage Romance palette found it's way to our hearts with it's goregeus jewel toned eye shadows. This palette has became a must have for a night out. 

7. Eyes: 2013 was the year that the Color Tattoos came to Slovenian drugstores. Since then I don't think there's been a day that I haven't used these as a base or just on their own.

8. Eyes: Maybelline mascaras have always been my favorites, but the Rocket stood out for me this year. It makes my lashes look great. I love that it gives me both length and volume. 

9. Eyes: This was one of the first products I tried from MUA. I love the formulation of this eyeliner. It's creamy and it glides on very well. I love lining my upper lash line for a smokey look.

10. Lips: Another discovery in 2013 were the new Essence lipsticks. I got two shades for now but I'm sure I'll be purchasing more. Very pigmented and very creamy.

11. Face: For pale girls bronzers are extremely hard to find. That is why I opted for this Catrice Multi Colored powder and I use it as a bronzer for a natural sun kissed look. 

12. Nails: In early fall I made my first Essie purchase. This one is in the shade Twin sweater set and it is the perfect all year round red color. It's been my favorite nailpolish ever since I bought it.

13. Nails: In 2013 I discovered the Golden Rose Jolly Jewels glitter nailpolishes. I own 4 of these and I love them all but this rosegold one is by far my favorite. If you have the chance to try them please do, you will be amazed.

14. Random: I love when my room smells nice and cozy, I mean who doesn't :)

I love using this Yankee Candle waxes. I do have a little obsession over them which has turned a shelf of my vanity into a mini wax collection. These are just some that I love. I'm currently burning the rest of my Christmas Memories wax.

15. Food: My breakfast consists of coffee and a bowl of these lovely Flakes. They taste amazing and they aren't the worst thing for your body. I love to eat them with milk or greek yogurt and add some banana to them.

16. Food: I do add honey to my bowl of cereal too. 

This one has been my favorite this year. I've been through so many that I can't even count. I love honey so much and I sweeten everything I can with it. 

17. Drink: My second favorite drink after coffee is tea. And my all time favorite tea has to be this Good Nature - Apple & Cinnamon tea. Those are two of my favorite things combined in a tea. Could life even get better? :)

Those were all the things I loved and enjoyed in 2013 and I'm sure I'll keep enjoying them in 2014. 

Are you familiar with this products and if you are, which are your favorites? 

I'm excited to read your comments.

Remembering 2013

Hello lovely readers,
It's 2014 !!! 

Today as my first post this year I wanted to start with something a little more personal. 

I don't know if you will like it, but it's nice to share a piece of myself with you once in a while.

Life is a roller coaster and so was this year for me.

2013 gave me so many things to be thankful for and gave me amazing moments of clarity and happiness that I'll always keep in my heart. It gave me a few obstacles too, but what would life be without those. 

Life has it's ways of putting you down and also giving you a hand and saving you when you need that.

And these year something changed for me and in that wonderful process of changing I saw results. It all resulted into me having 3 whole months of happiness and joy and fun. It would have lasted probably if I would just let myself not worry too much but it is what it is.

I wish I would have stayed more positive through this year, rather than always focusing on the negative and why those negative things happen. 

Overall 2013 has been a good year for me. I like to call it the year that has thought me a lot about change. It has allowed me to like change and to me wanting to push myself more. 

I'm truly thankful for this year and the experiences that I went through and with all of that said I am who I am today, because of choices I've made.

So lets take this moment and embrace the new year, embrace a new beginning of a great journey. 

Thank you for reading, comments are always welcome :)

I wish you a Happy New Year,

My Fashion Favorites: Oscars 2013

I am a huge movie fan and I am obsessed with the award season in Hollywood. But The Academy Awards or as we call them "The Oscars" are my favorite award show and I love it for many reasons.
First I love the movies and watching the awards and all the speeches people make while accepting them, I love the Red Carpet fashion and I always take my time to notice everyone's makeup.
And this year I decided to let all my feelings out about it on my blog.

Fashion Favorites

1.Jennifer Lawrence - Red Carpet Look

Jennifer wore a blush pink Dior Haute Couture gown. This is my favorite dress from the evening. She wore it very gracefully and looked stunning in it. I love how the gown moves and the fact that it is strap less makes the detail on it stand out more. 
It was definitely a very memorable dress on the Red Carpet, just like her known red dress by Calvin Klein Collection that she wore on the 2011 Oscars.

2. Jessica Chastain - Red Carpet Look

She wowed me with her gold sparkly Giorgio Armani dress. It was just the right amount of sparkle and the light gold to illuminate her pale skin. Also the cut of the dress fitted her amazingly.
I also love her hair color and how it suits the whole look.

3. Amanda Seyfried - Red Carpet Look

This actress is so inspiring and beautiful. I have watched her since Mean Girls all the way through Dear John and Mamma Mia and so many more movies that I love. She wore an Alexander McQueen dress with amazing detail in a very light off white almost light blue color with white detail on it. I love the flow in this dress and she wore it perfectly.

4. Lily Collins - Vanity Fair Oscar Party Look

A pale brunette in a blue sparkly Zuhair Murad dress is always an eye catcher for me. I love Lily Collins, but I am crazy about her style. She is always flawlessly put together. 

5. Nina Dobrev - Elton John's Oscar Party Look

Nina Dobrev is my favorite TV star fashionista. Her and Ian Somerhalder are the most stylish couple I have ever seen.
She screams elegance with this dress by Naeem Kahn. Again this is another dress that is very form fitting and loosens up towards the end. A lot of detail and an amazing contrast with black and white. 

These were my fashion favorites and I'm posting next my makeup favorites too.
I hope you like this kind of posts on my blog too. Tell me what you think in the comments.
Thank you for reading, 
Dee.
