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.

Which is your favourite nail polish for spring?

Bourjois Java rice powder

As you could have noticed, I usually tend to write about products that I like and that are worth it for me to mention them. This time I am going to be talking about a product that has become my stable and I hope never leaves my makeup bag. 

The talk is about Borjois Java rice powder. It is a loose powder that gives absolutely beautifully glow to the skin. I am normally the biggest fan of pressed powders as they are much easier to use, but I think I found my ultimate powder as it give smoothness, silkiness to the skin while I am having this amazing glow. I have constantly people telling me and asking me what I am using as even on the days when I don't feel best or had a little sleep time, the glow is there.

As Bourjois is celebrating their 150th birthday, they reinvented this cult classic from 1879.

How I use it: I put a little bit of the powder to the lid and apply it with MAC 137 brush. It is a flat brush so it picks up the product well, but because it is not dense, it lightly and evenly distributes it as well.

Recommended to: People who want illumination without looking greasy.

The last this I want to mention is the scent that is very light, but somehow feels very classic and gentle.

You can get Bourjois products in Boots and this powder retails for £9.99.

I know Bourjois is loved by many, so if you have tried, which are your favourites from Bourjois?:)

Thank you for reading and talk to you soon:)

"just paid" Beauty haul

You know those times when you just got paid and for the whole previous month you were eyeing some cool things and you just have to get them? Oh well, that was my mood on Monday. I managed to get some items which I wanted for a while and I am excited to share them with you:)

Firstly the Fountain beauty molecule has been advertised for a while, but it was time when Caroline Hirons mentioned that The hyaluronic molecule is coming, I started to have a proper interest in these goodies. I checked reviews on boots website and as I am getting married in April, I thought it would be a nice treat to try if these could help with my skin getting healthy, glowy and plumped. I will keep you posted on these:)

This month my management change at work and it was quite unexpected and stressful. For that reason I was having a lot of headaches, so I wanted to get something to calm me down, so I got these rollerballs from Aveda. One is Blue oil to balance and the other Stress-fix with rather lavender scent. These will be great also on my travels.

There is never enough of creamy eyeshadows, so no excuse for this paintpot in Vintage selection.

I was nervously waiting when this sponge will finally come to the stores. It was online, but I just like to get my things from stores if I can.

I was never a user of a foundation sponge, so I am a newbie, I am just trying this out, but so far, so good.

It completely changes though how I do my makeup. It is a funny little tool:)

After trying some of the Origins products, I had on my wishlist their moisturizers. I didn't particularly need one, but after reading reviews, knowing how I loved every single product I have already tried, I just couldn't resist. So far, the scent is very pleasant and no reaction to it.

As we all know, Boujrois is owning Channel, so sometimes when I am hooked on something from Chanel, I am trying to find it in Boujrois. This time I really liked the Beiges and as much as I was tempted to buy it, I rather went for this Java rice powder. I am not claiming it is the same thing, but let me just say that I love this so far. I am using it allover as it gives very nice settled glow and oh man, love, love, love.

I have been painting my nails on a regular basis, so no time for playing around. I hope this will truly be Magic nail polish remover. 

Since my friend Lauren did a blogpost about Seche vite topcoat and how amazing it is, I wanted it. But £9 and I had another topcoat, I decided to wait. But boots were having offer, so oh well, I got it. And it is GOOD. The texture is very thick, the applicator not my favourite, but it really does dry fast and protects the nails well. Proper review later on though:)

Did you make any naughty purchases after you got paid this month? Share. Would love to hear.
