September favourites

September favourites

It started to feel like autumn, so my makeup went into darker shades and definitely more plumy and berry. My favourite blusher is Mac plum foolery, which doesn't show as extreme on cheeks, I would be brave enough to claim that you can work on building it up and it never looks like you are wearing too much. 

A little bit of shimmer makes it nice and glowy on cheeks, so if you don't use highlighter, you can definitely skip it while wearing this. 

If you would tell me few years back that I would willingly wear a dark lipstick, I wouldn't believe you. But somehow these past 2 years I have really enjoyed it. Apply a little something on the eyes and darker lip colour. 

I am sure I am loving it now as I got a lot of compliments wearing it, but this just really makes fun from makeup, changing it up and having different looks. 

My favourites has been Mac rebel and Topshop trigger.

If you are after a cheap body lotion, I would highly recommend this Garnier body lotion. Smells good and is easily absorbed. The only thing I am not the biggest fan of is the packaging, making it complicated with getting the product out...and the opening lid...oh, no...

I need a good hydrating eye cream all year around and most of them just feel too greasy. My undereye area just can't handle that so after I found this Origins eye cream, I was a very happy bunny. Feels good, hydrates, leaves no residue, smells like cucumbers and has no harsh ingredients. 

read my review here for Origins eye doctor

It is quite challenging for me to explain how this setting spray really changes my makeup, but somehow my makeup looks fresh, literally after whole day at work, I don't have to worry about looking crap (even if I can feel that;)) so definitely recommend this big time.

My hair was having that phase when it just didn't want to perform. The same thing happened year ago and after I went for Lush haircare routine, it went back to normal. So I am back to Lush routine as you could find out from this and I just forgot how much I love this conditioner. Light, with specific scent which I became to love and hydrating benefits, it is just my love. And perfect for travel.

A treat this month was this Jo Malone candle and it really makes whole apartment smell divine. So happy I got this, but I am really bad in burning it so it doesn't do a hole. Oh well. 

Easiest breakfast that really makes me happy. Red berries porridge, normally I put cinnamon, golden syrup and some fruits on the top. It fills me up and is healthy.

What have you been loving previous month? Let me know in the comments:)

Lush hair care routine...again?

There was a time when I was obsessed with Lush. After every pay day my go-to store was Lush. Always spent few tens of pounds and was coming back for my bath products, face masks and hair products.

That feels like ages ago. These few weeks to months I felt good, no temptation to even have a look in there. I was always bravely passing by not even interested in looking. Well, that ended.

Me and my friend Lauren went just to have a look as the cooler moths started and I was in big need of some bath products. I looked even to the hair department and when I saw my previously loved Jungle conditioner, I somehow couldn't resist. The smell (quite weird at the beginning to me) such special that I just had to get it. Anyway I didn't have any conditioner, so why not.

After my first use of the conditioner, I just knew how much I was missing it. The next day I went to but my favourite New shampoo and Marilyn Hair treatment.

First I am using the Marilyn treatment which I apply to dry hair and leave for roughly 20-30 minutes. It is very very light even though claiming to contain even olive oil. Who knew.... Marilyn helps to make blonde hair nice, shinier and blonder whether you are bleached or natural blonde. I love it as it brightens my hair even in winter months when it normally gets a little bit darker.

Next I am using my solid New shampoo which is quite a funny idea of solid shampoo but it lasts for ages and really does the job done without stripping the hair out. I just rub it against wet hair. It is my favourite one from Lush and claiming to help with hair growth, I just must love it even more.

Jungle conditioner is the last, but definitely not the least. Again, rubbing against the hair in the end and leave for few seconds leaving hair hydrated my definitely not weighted down which is mostly my main concern while having long hair.

Lush got me back. Well, at least my hair. If you have a chance, definitely try this not really normal-ish hair products.

I was doing a little bit of shopping as a treat as the raining and strong wind made me feel a bit down, so I went for products that could be great for colder months.

MOTW=mask of the week. LUSH CATASTROPHE COSMETIC fresh face mask

I am a huge, huge fan of masks, I love them. I have few in my collection, so I thought it would be fun to do mask of the week, each week introducing one.

Som veľký fanúšik masiek na tvár, skutočne ich zbožnujem. Musím sa priznať, že mám menšiu kolekciu, takže som rozmýšľala, že by bola sranda urobiť masku týždňa, každý týždeň predstaviť jednu.

My favourite thing from Lush are their masks. My favourite one is Catastrophe cosmetic fresh face mask.

Moje najobľúbenejšie z Lushu sú ich masky na tvár. Moja najobľúbenejšia je Catastrophe cosmetic čerstvá maska na tvár.

Let me just write here what it says on the packaging: "When disaster looms, Catastrophe cosmetic calms and cleanses the skin. Blueberries rich in beneficial anti-oxidants, soothing chamomile, Irish moss and the gentle cleansing action of calamine to save the day." Ideal for calming and soothing troubled skin. You are supposed to leave it from 5 to 10 minutes. Easy:)

Dovoľte mi napísať čo je napísané na obale: "Keď príde katastrofa, Catastrophe cosmetic ukľudní a vyčistí pokožku. Čučoriedky plné anti-oxidantov, ukľudňujúci harmanček, Írsky mach a jemná čistiaca akcia calamine zachráni deň." Ideálne pre ukľudnenie a upokojenie problematickej pokožky. Máte to nechať pôsobiť 5 až 10 minút. Jednoduché:)

If you never had a Lush mask before, it is a freshly made mask that expires in one month. It retails for £5.95, so if you are buying it, make sure that you are trying to use it once-twice a week to really use it up, so it is worth the money for you. 


Ak ste nikdy nevlastnili Lush masku, je to čerstvo urobená maska, ktorej trvanlivosť vyprší po jednom mesiaci. Predáva sa za £5.95, takže ak si ju kupujete, určite ju používajte raz-dva-krát za týždeň, aby ste ju skutočne využili a bolo vám to hodno peňazí.

I love the blueberries in the mask. They smell so nice. Even though the mask makes me look like Shrek, but oh well, it is worth it. 

Zbožňujem čučoriedky v tejto maske. Voňajú neskutočne dobre. Aj keď táto maska zo mňa robí Shreka, ach, je to hodno.

After the mask I can tell that the texture of my skin is much smoother, my fine line on my forehead are non-existing and skin feels plumped and fresh. My skin feels just HAPPY:) I love that it gives you anti-oxidants, calms the skin and feels and smells niceeeeee:)

Po aplikovaní tejto masky môže vidieť zlepšenie v textúre, pokožka je jemnejšia, maličké vrásky na čele sú neexistujúce a pokožka je "vyplnená" a svieža. Moja pokožka je ŠŤASTNÁ:) Zbožňujem, že dodáva anti-oxidanty, upokojuje pokožku a vonia supeeeeer:)

As it is fresh, don't forget to keep in the fridge as you want it is fresh as possible. What is great, If you bring 5 clean full-size pots or tubes, you get a fresh mask for free. That's worth it for me:)

Keďže je čerstvá, nezabudnite ju skladovať v chladničke keďže chceme aby bola stále čerstvá. Čo je skvelé, ak prinesiete 5 čistých tégliky a tuby, dostanete čertsvú masku zadarmo. To je určite hodno pre mňa:)

What is your favourite LUSH mask?

Ktorá je vaša najobľúbenejšia LUSH maska?
