What I am currently loving

Hello there, 

just a quick post about products I am in love right now. They work, makes my life easier, so let me share the goodies with you.

Clinique All about shadow 8-pan palette 

This is perfect compact palette that I bring with me to the GYM, it has got 8 different shades from very pale to the darkest so I can create different looks every day if I wanted to (I am creature of a habit, so mostly my eye look stays very similar). The colours are nicely pigmented and you can easily blend them as well. 

Origins Clean energy Gentle cleansing oil

Recently I have been doing cleaning in my skincare stash and I found this cleansing oil. I haven't used it for a while and now I love it. It is so easy to remove makeup with this. Just pump up few times into palms of my hands, massage into the skin (with the scent it feels very aromatherapeutic and spa like) and then you just wash with your normal cleanser. It was a life saver in my lazy evenings when I just didn't feel bothered to do anything:)

Organic forest honey

I still swear by honey as a cleanser. It just really works for me. It is really funny at first as it doesn't feel like any other cleanser, but whenever I don't use it, I can see my skin doesn't like it. I just put a little on dry skin, massage for up to a minute and then wash off. Skin is soft afterwards and this organic one is so smooth and not sticky at all, I just love it. (I have bought mine in Holland&Barrett)

And last but not least a toothpaste everyone talks about and there is a good reason for it. I haven't been whitening my teeth for few months now, but still have compliments about my white teeth.

Ojon Damage reverse restorative hair treatment vs. Charles Worthington Intense Rescue Melting balm

I am all obsessed with hair and different hair treatments possible out there. My hair is on the thinner side, but I still love to go with intensive hair treatments. I have tried very similar products- hair masks that you apply on dry hair before shampooing - Ojon and Charles Worthington and wanted to give you my opinion on which one I think is worth it. 

Both of these masks are kind of balms that melts in palm of your hair. They are deep conditioning, helping damaged and over-processed hair.  To be honest, I can see very similar results. Hair is extremely shiny, manageable. Both are easily washed of and the only difference there is, is price and smell.  The Ojon has god very strong nutty smell (you can get the same mask without the scent if you want) and first time when I tried it overnight, I just could't sleep as the scent was just keeping me awake somehow. The Charles Worthington scent is gorgeous- can't explain what it reminds me of, but it is soft and nice.  So if you ask me, just from the application, smell, results I would prefer The Charles Worthington because it just makes sense. (Ojon Damage Reverse Restorative Hair Treatment for £34 and Charles Worthington Salon at Home Secrets Collection Moisture Seal Intense Rescue Melting Balm for £16.99.) But if you want to invest in your hair, give Ojon a try. Well, they are just BOTH AMAZING. And if you haven't tried one of these miracle workers on your hair, please DO as your hair with thank you.

Skincare and makeup I bring to the GYM

I am sure I am just one of few people who do their normal skincare routine even if they go to gym. But, I have bought the products so I use them, so I make sure I am using them even if I have to bring them with me to the gym. Some of them I put into smaller containers, some of them, just as they are. Here you have my skincare routine I bring with me. 

 The list of makeup I take is definitely much longer as it is my everyday makeup: (Paul&Joe makeup bag)

My favourite spring nail polishes

I am sorry I was a little quiet for a little, but that sudden spring moment we are having I just had to enjoy before I can talk about all the beauty treatments, colours and everything we need to have for spring. I love spring. Warmer sun, fresh air, flowers blooming and trees being green. As I am looking outside, the weather is with me as it is sunny and I am excited about applying brighter, funnier and happier nail polishes. I have quite few favourites for spring, so let's just jump into it:)

If you force me to choose, I would always go for Burjois Adora-bleu as the colour is to die for, the consistency and the brush are perfect and you need only one coat. Easy.
