New in - September, October, November and December 2016


I've been going around this post for so long so now I have products from last four months to show you. Still, it is not huge amount of product for such a long time but there are few products here that I wanted for long time. If you look at the first photo you can see Catrice HD Liquid Coverage foundation which I wanted from the first time I saw it. Hopefully I will post my review soon. Also here are few nail polishes from my wish list: OPI Charmmy And Sugar, China Glaze Purple Panic, China Glaze Strawberry Fields Forever and Essence Better Then Gel top coat. 


Next I have two photos with Treacle Moon and Balea products. Shower Gels on the first:Cute Stasuma Smile and Pretty Rose Hearts. Two Balea shower gels Marsh-Mallow and Schoko Love are in different bottles then usual, I guess they are limited edition.


Balea often has cutest package and you know I can't resist them when I see them. So when I saw carnival collection I just had to get it even though I don't need another hand and body lotion. 
First product on the pic is Balea Melone liquid soap and this is something I can always buy without feeling guilty.


Here I have few different products. I have two dry shampoos, Aussie which I tried for the first time and sample of Batiste dry shampoo. Also here are two Aveo nail polish removers, Ebelin cotton pads, Maybelline BB Dream Fresh, Essence We Are Young ( click ) and OPI Pineapples Have Peelings Too ( click ).


And here it is...the most important item here...Givenchy Eaudemoiselle. Finally in my hands!! This was on my wish list for years! I love, love, love it!


Aveo Bali Lozus liquid soap, another soap here...we use them up quickly. These have new package which is little bit nicer then old package. I have two more Balea creams Fur Dich and Mit Liebe. I love these cute, little creams. I had every single one that came out in this line.


And the last photo is old but somehow I never posted it. I have my go to hair color from L'oreal and a brush but I still didn't use it so I can't say anything about it. Last product is a hair brush which I got  as a gift, unfortunately I don't know the brand but I can tell you it is great. 

Do you have any of these products?

Burberry The Beat


After very long time I have one really nice Burberry fragrance ( first one was Brit, of course ).  This one was a gift from my husband and great thing about that is not just that I got  a beautiful gift it is also that this is something I wouldn't choose myself and it is a fragrance that I really like. I usually reach for floral, oriental scents but time to time I find something that I like which is citrus and fresh. Burberry The Beat comes in lovely, elegant bottle with silver top and famous Burberry checked details on the bottle. I have 50 ml bottle, there are 30 and 75 ml available as well.


Top notes of Burberry The beat are pink pepper, mandarin orange, bergamot and cardamom. Middle notes are iris, tea and bellflower while the base notes are vetiver, cedar and white musk. I like to use Burberry The Beat when I'm going out with my husband or if I'm going to hang out with my friends. It is fresh and it is not overpowering but it is long lasting in the same time. To me it is the best for un formal occasions. Since I got it it is my go to fragrance and it is the reason why I think I should check out other Burberry perfumes as well. Who knows what I've been missing :)


Did you tried Burberry The Beat?

Britney Spears Island Fantasy


Britney Spears Island Fantasy is one of my random buys. I definitely didn't plan it but I found great deal and I decided to get it because I figured it will be great everyday fragrance and something I can use with no mercy especially because it comes in big 100 ml bottle. Island Fantasy is summer version of Britney's Fantasy line of fragrances. Like the rest of Britney's fragrances Island Fantasy is sweet scented. First when you spray it you can smell citrus and then very quickly sweet fruity  scent.  Top notes of Island Fantasy are citruses, mandarin, clementine, red berries and watermelon. Middle notes are jasmine, violet and freesia. Base notes are musk and sugar cane. The best description of the scent would be summery and sweet. Longevity of Island Fantasy isn't something, it lasts only for few hours. In this case that is acceptable to me because I bought Island Fantasy so I can spray it without saving it. Like I said this is okay everyday fragrance but when I have some special occasion or I want to dress up Island Fantasy isn't something I would wear. However it is a nice summer fragrance.


The bottle looks very pretty and girly. Each Fantasy line bottle looks the same but it comes in different color. This one is lime / turquoise gradient, very summery and name appropriate.

Davidoff Cool Water



When it comes to fragrances and summer classics Davidoff Cool Water is definitely one of them. When I see it I immediately imagine it's fresh scent and blue horizon. Cool Water was on my wish list for so long and some time ago I finally decided to get it. 


Now when summer is approaching it is a right time to dedicate a post to it because now is the time for beloved summer scents to come out too. Like I said Davidoff Cool Water is a classic, fragrance that is popular for years and it is with us since 1996.  The scent of Cool Water is fresh and summery,not overpowering and perfect for hot days. I believe this will be my first choice of fragrance if I'm going for holiday by the sea for years to come.  


Top notes are melon, lemon, calone, lotus, lily, black currant, quince and pineapple. Middle notes are honey, rose, lotus, lily of the vally, water lily, jasmine and hawthorn. Finally base notes are blackberry, violet root, sandalwood, musk, raspberry, vanilla, peach and vetiver.  All this makes really nice fruity and floral fragrance. The scent that lasts all day or all night depending how you like it. To me it is perfectly suited for day.

Beckham Intimately fragrance


My obsession with Fragrance Direct is on going. While we wait for new package with few new goodies it is right time to write about my last buy. Few years ago I got Beckham Intimately Yours as a birthday gift and I loved that fragrance so much. So much that I decided to get the original Intimately. This was one of those blind buys when I didn't tried the product before and I never tried the smell. I was so confident that I will like it because I was in love with Intimately Yours. Fortunately I wasn't wrong :)


Top notes of Intimately are rose, white flower and bergamot, middle notes are orange blossom, casablanca lily and tuberose. Base notes are vanilla, musk and sandalwood. Intimately is one of those beautiful floral scents, great for spring and nice scent to wear day and night. Another plus is that it is long lasting. The bottle is just like the scent itself elegant and pretty.
This is my second Beckham fragrance and after two great scents I'm open to try other fragrances they have. They have nice scents and they are not overpriced so I don't need to save them...I can spray all day long if I want :)

Did you tried Intimately? What is your favorite fragrance these days?

Britney Spears Curious


Britney Spears Curious is my second fragrance from Britney Spears and just like the first one I had Cosmic Radiance I'm in love with it. What makes this fragrance even sweeter for me is that it was nice birthday surprise from my cousin. We discovered Fragrance Direct, they have good prices for some perfumes so my wishlist could grow every day. Curious was a nice treat, the bottle contains 100 ml so I can spray this one as much as I want without being sorry.


Britney Spears Curious is Britney's first fragrance, lunched in 2014. The scent is light and delicate. Floral scents are my favorite so this is a thing for me. Top notes are magnolia, pear and lotus, middle notes are tuberose, cyclamen and jasmine while base notes are sandalwood, musk, white woods and  vanilla. The scent lasts for a nice amount of time but it doesn't last the hole day. Since this is my day perfume I don't have complains on durability, I do have perfumes that last longer but this is good if you ask me. Also for me this is a any season fragrance because I love scents like this one but generally this is spring or summer fragrance. 


The bottle is beautiful. It is big, blue and it looks like large diamond. It could make any beauty corner a bit prettier.

New in - September 2014


In September I got few products that I wanted for a while. few that are products I use regularly and few randoms. I will dedicate a post for most of products I bought in September so this will be just a quick post. 
I finally put my hands on Makeup Revolution. I got Iconic 2, Iconic 3 and Essential Mattes palettes and Frambroise Shake cream blush ( click ). I also got I Heart Makeup I Heart Chocolate palette.



Next I have two Loreal Elvital Color Glanc shampoo and Balea limited edition deo-bodyspray and soap. Both look adorable and smell really good.


Recently I discovered two web pages with great deals for fragrances. I develop a little addiction and I got myself Davidoff Cool Water 50 ml EDT ( from biraj.hr ) and Britney Spears Curious 100 ml EDT ( from fragrancedirect.co.uk ). I'm afraid I will not stop at these two :D


I also have new liquid foundation. Maybelline Fit 120, another great deal with 50% off made me buy this one. After I test it a bit more I will post my review. 


In the end of this post I have Aveo Berry Bomb body lotion and two cute notebooks!

Nice catch, don't you think? Did you tried any of these products?

Empty #15


Avon Care Paraffin Hand Cream - one of my favorite products lately in cutest packaging. I will definitely repurchase this cream in future.

Balea liquid soap - I usually buy Balea soap, different scent every time.

I Love...Juicy Watermelon shower cream - nice product but I'm not sure if I want to repurchase it. If I do it will be different scent, not because this one is bad, because there are so many other beautiful scents. To find my thoughts about I Love...shower creams click here.

Aveo Into The Wild shower gel - I buy Aveo shower gels a lot and I will continue to do that in future.

Avon Natural Rose - I loved this product! Read more here.

S.Oliver Woman fragrance - my everyday fragrance that I really like. It was a gift but also something I would buy myself.

Valentino Rock'n'Rose - Beautiful perfume I had for years. My favorite time to use it was spring.

Essence My Yellow Fellow - my favorite yellow nail polish. I had it for few years and painted my nails so many times with it. It is sad it is gone but I have few very similar shades so I'm not gonna complain about it too much.

Avon Moroccan Agran Oil - Great product. I already have a new bottle. Read more about it here.

Loreal mini conditioner - I love these and somehow I always have them around. You can get them with Loreal Casting Hair color ( another product that should be in my Empties but I didn't saved the box for the post )

What is in your empties?

Madly Kenzo Kiss'n'Fly


If you looking for beautiful, summery fragrance Madly Kenzo Kiss'n'Fly might be a thing for you. I got it last summer and I really love it! The fragrance is floral, light and fresh so it is perfect for warm days. These days I reach for it more then usual. It is also long lasting. Madly Kenzo Kiss'n'Fly is launched in summer of 2013 and it is limited edition so now it could be harder to find it but it is very similar to original version Madly Kenzo. 


Top notes of Madly Kenzo Kiss'nFly are pear, lychee and grapefruit. Middle notes are floral: jasmine, lily and freesia. Base notes are soft musk and cedar. As you can see this floral - fruity combination is made for summer and if you like light, summery fragrance you will enjoy this one too!

Empty #14



My last Empty post was over a month ago but I'm very surprised how much empties I have. I'm so glad that I can see which products I actually use up. It is so much easier to keep track like this. Let's look at what I have...


Loreal Elvital Color Glanz - again in my empties :)

Balea Young Peachy Rose shower gel - I love Balea Young shower gels...unfortunately I don't see them anywhere any more. I hate to think that they are discontinued. 

Balea Cocos & Nectarine shower gel - I loved this one, interesting scent that I would buy again.

Treacle Moon One Ginger Morning shower gel - one of my favorite products lately. I was obsessed with this scent for a while. I already have a new bottle :)

Aveo liquid soap - Love it and I had it few times so far.


Beckham Intimately Yours fragrance - I'm sad whenever I use up a fragrance especially when is good as this one! I have a post about in here.

Avon Advance Techniques Shine Serum - Meh. Not the worst buy ever but there are so many better products then this one. Shine Serum didn't do much for my hair so I will not buy it again.

NYX Round Gloss Doll Pink - I don't know how but this beautiful NYX lip gloss got broken so there is no way to use it anymore. I have no idea how it happened :( Look at my swatch to see how pretty it is.

Bourjois Healty Mix liquid foundation - This is very popular product but I'm not that impressed with it. It is not a bad product at all but I would always rather buy Revlon Color Stay then this. I'm glad I tried it but will not buy it again. More of my impressions here.

Essence Stay Natural Soft Sand concealer - Biggest flaw of this product is that is very small. There is only 1,5 ml of product and I decided to look for something else that will last for little bit longer. However I believe I will buy Stay Natural concealer again.

Ebelin cotton pads - my favorite for removing makeup or nail polish.


The rest is bunch of Lush samples. They come in these little pots and there is enough for one use ( for most of them, you can use some few times ). You can get them when you buy Lush products. Here is what I tried:

Lush Fair Trade Honey shampoo - It should give your hair natural glow and volume. I washed my hair with it only once and I wasn't convinced. I didn't like the feel of my hair with this product under my fingers but I can't say my hair didn't look nice later. However, I wouldn't buy this shampoo.

Lush Veganese conditioner - Now this is something I would buy. I loveee lavender and rosemary smell and for that alone I would buy it :) But I also I like how my hair looked and the feeling under my fingers. When I tried it I was sad that there was enough for only one use :) Veganese is conditioner for all hair types but it is best for thin hair.


Lush Dirty Springwash shower gel - I love the texture and the fact that it makes my skin feel good but this smell is not my cup of tea. Because of that I wouldn't purchase full size product.

Lush Nachstenliebe hand and body lotion - I believe that this is German version of Lush Charity Pot. I don't like it for my hands but it is perfect for my body. I used up sample and now I have 230 ml pot and it is among my favorite products at the moment.

Lush Karma soap - This is the sample of Karma solid soap. I didn't get a lot of product but good thing is that these things can last you a while because you need a small amount so you can use it few times. Karma smells nice and doesn't dry out my skin. I love Lush shower soaps and I probably won't buy Karma but I can easily make a list of the ones that I would.

Givenchy Very Irresistible gift set


Givenchy perfumes are my favorite. So far I had few, including my all time favorite Givenchy Organza but I would love to have probably 90 % of their perfumes. I love light, floral and little bit sweet scents so they always have something that I really love. Very Irresistible is one of their most popular perfumes. Years ago I had Very Irresistible Sensual which came after the original so even though I wanted the original they are similar so I never thought about buying it. Last summer I found amazing deal on a gift set  that I just couldn't ignore and I'm so happy that Very irresistible is now mine.


Gift set includes 50 ml edt fragrance, 100 ml body veil and beauty bag. I already posted about body veil so just click here to find out a bit more. 
Beauty bag is something I use every day. At first I didn't need it so I started using it after few months. Then when I was in move between new and old house I started using it as makeup bag and I still keep products I use the most in it. It is well made and tones of products can fit in it, also it looks beautiful so it is amazing bag for traveling. Definitely my favorite beauty bag and as long as I have this one I don't need anything else.


Now the fragrance. Very Irresistible is around for a very, very long time. I still remember when it first came out when I was high school girl and it was so far out of my reach. Years came by but I still think this is one of most beautiful scents out there. I love that it is so light, floral and feminine. Middle notes are rose, magnolia and peony. Top notes are cassia, lemon verbena and anise while base note is taif rose. Floral haven! 
Very Irresistible is one of those long lasting fragrances so when you apply it you can be sure that it won't go away that quickly especially in combination with body veil. 


Even the box looks pretty...


What is your favorite fragrance? What is on your wishlist?

New in - September 2013


I skipped New In posts last two months because I had only few new products, somehow I managed make up for it in September :) My first buy in September was just few Balea products: Balea face wipes, hand soap, and hand cream. Also I got new Ebelin cotton pads and my usual hair conditioner from Loreal.


I didn't get anything from Avon for a while and when I was looking at their products there were few things I wanted. I got Solutions BB cream, Natural Rose face set: face cream, eye cream and a cleanser. I always like to try their hair products so I got Advance Techniques Strengthen & Protect Leave In Treatment. I love all of these product and it is very likely that I dedicate a post to them.


Here is usual Loreal Casting Creme Gloss in 535. I've been using this hair color for years and it is amazing. Any other hair color washes away after a month but not this one. Love it!


I already showed you some pictures of Essence Oktoberfest products and now they are finally with me. I use nail polishes the most and I found a great purpose for makeup bag. It is really small for makeup but I keep my hair pins in it and it is my bag all the time. 


I got Rebecca Bonbon In Paris. This is my first touch with this brand and it is not bad at all. This will be very nice everyday perfume. 


If you look at picture above and pic bellow you can see that I'm set with shower gels for a very long time. I know that is not going to stop me for buying more but what can I say...These are the products I'm sure I will use up. I have Treacle Moon shower gels that I tried for first time...


...and I Love...Juicy Watermelon and two more Balea shower gels.


My second Avon buy: Avon Senses Lagoon body scrub which smells amazing, AT Dry Ends Serum and Anew BB cream. When I test Anew BB cream a little bit more I will probably make a post about it, together with  Solutions BB cream.


If you thought that I didn't buy any nail polish...well, here it is Golden Rose Jolly Jewels 116.


Last two products are Balea deo spray and Balea shower gel ( yes another one! ). I wanted to try Balea deo spray because I had a bad experience with them and I wanted to see if something is different. After trying this I can say that I'm positively surprised. Nothing can replace Dove but is good to make a change sometimes.

Do you have any of these products?
