In love: Jimmy Choo by Jimmy Choo

Happy Friday, ladies!!! Today's blog post is about my recent sneaky purchase. It's Jimmy Choo perfume.

Since 1996, Jimmy Choo has become an iconic luxury lifestyle brand defined by an empowered sense of glamour. A pioneer in the art of celebrity dressing, Jimmy Choo shoes and accessories have become a staple on Hollywood’s most recognized red carpets. Jimmy Choo Fragrances capture the sensuality, luxury, and style of the iconic shoes and handbags in a new must-have accessory that can be worn for any occasion.

 

ABOUT THE PERFUME:

An expression of the modern woman’s aura, this scent at once conveys strength and beauty, glamour and confidence. Luminous green top notes join a heart of rich and exotic tiger orchid and lingering base notes of sweet toffee and Indonesian patchouli to leave a sensual memory on the skin. For the bottle, the opulence of jewel-colored Venetian Murano glass inspired its faceted design. 

I love the scent of it. It's a very sweet, fruity and spicy scent, but it is also very warming, so I think it's perfect for fall and winter. Since winter is not over yet here in Lithuania, I still can wear it everyday. I also read that a lot of girls think that this perfume is very masculine, but I actually don't think so. For me, this scent is very sexy, feminine and seductive. I also like the snake pattern on the packaging and the staying power is also amazing. It stays all day and I can feel that scent even the other day on my clothes that I was wearing.

Notes:
Green, Tiger Orchid, Toffee, Sensual Indonesian Patchouli

Style:
Feminine, Luxurious, Stylish

Review: Estee Lauder Double Wear Light

In today's post I decided to review foundation from Estee Lauder. It's called Estee Lauder Double Wear Light. It is a lighter version of a well-known Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation. I haven't tried that one, because a girl in the make-up store told me that it's very heavy and more suitable for evening, so I decided to buy a lighter version and hoped that it will look natural on my skin, because that is what it promises on the packaging. But I was wrong. I have a combination skin and on me it looked cakey and felt very heavy. This foundation highlighted dry patches on my skin and gave me that "too much makeup" look. Even my co-worker asked me why am I wearing so much makeup and I even did not use a setting powder. So yeah, I think that would only work for people who have a very oily skin, because it does make your skin very matte. It is a very disappointing product, because of that I don't even want to try the original version of this foundation. Anyway, but if you have a very oily skin, definitely try it, cause it does really help with oiliness and it stays all day on your face. Also it's a plus that it has SPF 10. I hope this helped you! Thank you for reading!

L'occitane en Provence mini set of goodies

Hello ladies,

So holidays are over and I'm here with another blog post which is about L'occitane en Provence beauty products, do you see the pattern here? I really looove this brand. 

I got this little cute set of products as a gift from my dearest friend (she knows me very well). So I decided to review the products that was in here.

| Aromachologie Relaxing Pillow mist |

The first and probably my favourite product that cought my attention was Aromachologie Relaxing Pillow mist. I was really happy to try it, because I was searching for relaxing pillow mists for a while now. I always had my eyes on this works deep sleep pillow spray 75 ml, but I always hesitated to try it, mostly because of the price which on feelunique.com is about 21 Eur and L'occitane Relaxing Pillow mist is a little bit cheaper (19,50 Eur) and also you get more product (100 ml). What I want to say is that obviously it's much more worthy to get Pillow mist from L'oocitane. I have only good things to say about this product, because I really feel that it helps me to unwind and sleep better after a long and hard day. And hey, trust me what I say, because I had some sleeping issues, cause I'm a very light sleeper. It also smells really good, because the mist contains the essential oils of lavender, bergamot, mandarin, sweet orange and geranium.

| Aromachologie Relaxing Shower Gel |

I don't want to repeat myself, but this shower gel is also very good. It smells the same as the Aromachologie Relaxing Pillow mist, it also contains essential oils which helps you to relax and sleep better. For the best results L'occitane recommends to use both of these products together.

| Aromachologie Rebalancing Infusions For Bath |

Also the set contained this sachet made with citrus fruit peel and revitalizing salts. This formula has a rebalancing effect and you have just to leave it soak into the water and enjoy the bath!

I also have to mention that there are a lot more products that you can try from these particular collections (relaxing and rebalancing). So I will link below the products that are available in L'occitane stores. If you are interested just check them out and I highly recommend to try it also. Have a nice day!

New from Dove

Hello ladies,

Today I decided to review a new body oil from Dove (Dove DermaSpa goodness Silky body oil). I saw it the other day in a beauty store (Drogas) and instantly decided to buy it. Probably the main reason was that the oil inside the bottle has a beautiful golden pearly colour, so I thought in my head that it will probably make my skin look divine and I was right! I have to say that my skin (especially my legs) is very dry during winter time and this body oil really saved me. It leaves my skin very soft and smooth. Dove also promises that this oil will make your skin look even and luminous. The best part is that it really does! It kind of reminds me of a bronzing oil from the body shop, but Dove body oil doesn't have that bronzing shimmer in it, so it looks just as your natural skin, but more beautiful and more healthy. It also has a very nice scent, it smells like peaches to me and I really like it. This scent is quite strong and very "in your face", but I don't mind it, since it does a good job leaving my skin nourished. I think it's definitely worth buying and trying. Also they have another body oil, which I also saw just yesterday. I really want to try that one too, cause it suppose to improve elasticity and firmness of your skin. So girls, definitely check those out!

L’occitane en provence - Provence Beauty

So this week I stopped by the L’occitane shop and they have some amazing deals right now. I decided to spoil myself a little bit and picked up some nice items that I don’t really needed that much, but it’s really nice to have a nice smelling perfume and a good hand crème, well in this case, three mini hand cremes.

| L’occitane en provence Arlésienne Eau de Toilette 8 ml |

What it says in the description: "Arlésienne, the feminine fusion of three flowers. Feminine and gracious, she embodies the beauty of Provence. Free and mysterious, she is a unique alchemy of colors and fabrics. Elusive and attractive, she leaves in her wake a unique trail that lingers wherever she goes. L’Occitane reveals her in a subtle bouquet of three flowers: the rose for her grace, the sweet violet for her mystery and the saffron for her temperament. Contains extracts of rose from Grasse, sweet violet and saffron from Provence."

I love love the smell in this little cute bottle. It really smells like flowers, but in a good way. It’s not too overpowering and that’s the reason why I decided to bought it, because I am not a girl, who likes florally scents. I like more fruity perfumes. I also wanted a scent that would be perfect for fall and you probably think that florally scents are more suitable for spring and summer, but actually this scent is quite warm, it makes you feel cozy, so I think it's perfect for all seasons. I use it on my wrists and on my neck. The lasting power is also good, I can feel it almost everyday, especially when I move my arms. And the bottle looks heavenly with this pattern of little flowers. You can find Arlésienne here.

| Set of three hand creams 3 x 10ml |

All of these hand creams contains shea butter (20 %). These hand creams helps to protect, nourish and soften the hands. The pink one smells like roses, the yellow one – like vanilla, and the silver blue one – is a traditional, their best selling and award winning hand cream which doesn’t have a scent, but works really amazing. I tried once the blue one and I remember loving it, so I am sure that I will love other two too. And they come with a little cute container, where you can keep all three of them.

I also got two testers of two different products. The firs tone is – Hydra Vital face cream, which suppose to hydrate your skin. The other one - Ultra Matte fluid for face, which really works, it makes your skin matte but soft at the same time, really liked this one, but actually you can never go wrong by choosing L'occitane products. They all are amazing and high quality products. That's why I love this particular brand. It also makes me feel like a French girl.

Thank you for reading girls! Have a nice upcoming weekend!
