REVIEW: ELIZABETH ARDEN EIGHT HOUR CREAM ORIGINAL SET

Hello ladies,

Today I decided to write a review about this Elizabeth Arden eight hour cream set, which contains The original Eight Hour Skin Protectant, Eight Hour Intensive Daily Moisturizer for face and Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick. Read further if you want to know my opinion about each product that I mentioned. 

PRODUCTS I MENTIONED AND ALSO PRODUCTS THAT I SUGGEST TO TRY:

| The Original Eight Hour Skin Protectant |

I think it's the most popular Elizabeth Arden's beauty product. Every blogger and youtuber talk about this and I also read that make up artists use this product on models, to give their lips that juicy look. You can use it for almost everything: to set brows, re-hydrate chapped lips, and soften rough elbows and calluses. Although it's an award-winning product, I can't really understand the hype about it. I mostly used it on my lips, because it's winter time and my lips are very dry during this season, so I thought this product might help, but actually it didn't. I almost felt that it makes my lips even more dry, because every time I apply it, the skin on my lips begins to peel off. So that's not fun. But I also definitely recommend to check this product out, because a lot of people are raving about it and if it doesn't work on my lips, maybe it will work wonders on yours.

| Eight Hour Intensive Daily Moisturizer for face |

This is my favourite item from this set! It moisturises my skin very well. It smells very good and not too overpowering. It smells like a natural product to me. I mainly use this in the evening, before bedtime, cause it can be a little too heavy for daytime. Oh, and I also used it when I was on holidays, in the mountains, and it protected my face from cold very well.

| Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick |

This lipstick is enriched with emollients, protective sunscreen (It has SPF 15!) and vitamin E. But it also doesn't work well on my dry lips. I don't know why, maybe it has something that my lips just don't like, but I can't figure out what ingredient could it be. But it's the same product as The original Eight Hour Skin Protectant, only in a lipstick form. So, I definitely don't want to say that it's a bad product, because other people like it a lot. So I think this product is simply not suitable for me.

Thank you for reading girls! I hope you liked this blog post! Have a nice weekend.

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!
