armani perfumes

I discovered a new scent for me, it´s the ...lei elle she ella... by emporio armani. I know this is a perfume that exists for a really really long time already! But when I was younger I couldn´t smell this perfume, i don´t know.. maybe my nose could not recognize this special scent. I´m not sure, all I remember is that I could completely not understand the hype around this perfume :) As it is in the special offer really often I tried it again now and got blown away! I could now smell this light and warming summerish, beachy scent! OMG! This reminds me soo much of a perfect sunny beach holiday!!!



I bought a small set with 30ml eau de parfum pour femme and 75ml sensual body lotion.

In addition to that armani offered another small flacon of their perfume diamonds. I couldn´t resist... It is a light, fresh and sweet scent. This one to me is a very special perfume because i keep memories of a very special day in my life when I wore this scent! :) 
The small bottle contains 20ml eau de parfume and is the perfect size, because sometimes I want to carry it with me in my bag for fresh-up.

If you are interested you can find both perfumes here

What are your favourite perfumes at the moment?

shopping saturdays

Sometimes I enjoy shopping in the city center on a saturday. Although it is crowded a lot and this can be annoying. But I think only buying clothes online is not the same and it´s not always so much fun. For a change I think the perfect shopping day is to meet with a friend for a breakfast & coffee at a café or somewhere and have a chat for around an hour. Then slowly walking to shops/boutiques that carry more exclusive clothes/shoes, because they are not so full. The salesgirls/ladies have much more time for you if you wanted an advice, have a question or something. We keep skipping the mainstream shops until we rested somewhere for lunch. After that it depends on how much we found already in the other shops, where we are going...

And this is a selection of what I got on our shopping saturday!



A cute t-shirt from Hallhuber with a little bow and strass, here.



A navy blue blazer from zara with puffs on the shoulders, has a nice length and stars on the inside :) here.


And a light peplum style blouse from mango, here.

I also got the cross body bag from yesterday´s post and some beauty items that I will show on another post ;)

How often do you do shopping saturdays?

new crossbody bag

Now that the weather is getting slowly better, I thought about a new bag that I could use on city trips or when I go to work by bike. And I came to the conclusion that a cross body bag would probably be the most practical bag type. Although I never wore cross body bags before because I thought they wouldn´t suit me I decided to try it when I discovered the hobo bag from Longchamp! 


I can wear the strip long or short if I want to, so in case I might think rather not to wear it cross body style I can mix it up wearing it on the shoulder. This was my internal 'ok!' for the bag ;)


It also has a little outside bag, where I put my keys. I think it was made for maybe put in your cell phone, but as I keep mine in my Michael Kors purse as I posted here, I use it for my home and car keys and think
that´s super! In the inside of the bag there are two flat departments over the backside, one with a zipper. Nothing too special but for me it is sufficient. Carrying a bottle of water, my purse a mag and some other small thinks it is more than sufficient! 
As you can see I chose a light beige tone, what can I say... I like the classy colors! :)

If you like this bag and want to have a look you can get it here. It´s the hobo bag from Longchamp´s line Le Pliage.


I wish you nice Easter holiday´s and lots of Easter eggs! ;)

blush!

Recently I ordered the NARS blush in the color orgasm for the first time and it is absolutely georgeous! :)














It is a peachy rosy tone with golden shimmering particles. It fits very well into my pallet of blushes.
In former times it never appeared any important to me, if I used different colors of blush or not. I basically had one color that I went with until it was empty. I used to go with the MAC cubic satin which is a rose tone and I thought it suits my skin type and color best. I have pale skin with an olive undertone. However, one day I discovered the Artdeco bronzing glow blusher and I liked the color and pattern so much and as it has a big rose toned department I decided to try another shade for once! This was winner! It made me more open to experiment with new color combinations! :)
 


And this is the result... here you can see my blush collection so far and how I would describe them on my skin! 

From left to right:
NARS orgasm - a more peachy-pinky tone with golden shimmer
MAC cubic satin - a rose with a slight natural brownish undertone
ARTDECO bronzing glow blusher - a more pinky-peachy tone with slight bronzing shimmer
Mary Kay sunny spice - a very decent, natural brownish tone
Terra del Sol sand - bronzer without shimmer

I am very happy that I have a small variety to choose from, but I also think these colors are enough, as I tend to seek for nudish or more decent make up looks! For the time being the NARS orgasm is defo my favourite! :)

What are your favourite blushes?

weleda cleansing review

Today I would like to make my review on the face cleansing products by Weleda. I must say that I really liked both products from the smell and feeling of it. I can also say that my skin reacted positive to both of it the cleanser and toner.
There is only one point, that I personally find is inconvenient. It is the packaging! I would never have thought that a packaging could effect my opinion over a product that much.


What I actually think is good, is that the products are filled in glass bottles. I usually used this cleansing milk in the morning under the shower and filled it into my palm, holding it very upside down. However, with this big opening of the glass bottle you can hardly dose the amount you like. Also a bit of the milk always spilled over and after a time got hardened and this looks not very nice. I washed it up the first times, but then I realised it´s not possible to wash the drainage inside the closure top and it appeared again. This is so sad, because for me personally this is too invonvenient, although I liked the product itself very much!


Compered the package of the toner is very good, as it has a different opening with a measuring device. Just kind of slightly shaked the bottle 3 times upside down into my palm and had the perfect amount! :) I like the smell and the consistence of the tonic that can be spread over the face very good as it soaks in after a few seconds only (at least on my skin)! :)


Do you use these products and what are your opinions and experiences with it?

Enjoy your day!

low budget beauty items

Look, what brilliant products I discovered... I´ve already heard about the essence i <3 extreme mascara but I couldn´t imagine that this low budget product could suit my aspirations. I tested it now for the first time and it is gorgeous! If you have not tried it until now, buy this mascara!! :) I tried so many expensive mascaras and I think this one is even better than some of these and on top it is really cheap. The same with the P2 lipstick, they have a wonderful color pallet you should totally check out. I chose the lipstick no. 012 Kärntnerstraße it´s a nudish rose tone and it covers very well. For both items I paid less than 5€! :)



Wish you a nice week!
