Hi everyone! Hope you are enjoying the spring time and lots of sunshine (and using your SPF of course). Today I wanted to tackle my lip collection. I have realized over time that I am not big lipstick person. I have a couple of favorites, I like some formulas, but I have learned that I prefer lip glosses and tinted lip balms in general. I have tried to love liquid lipsticks in the past, but never found the formula or…

Hi everyone! Ulta has posted 21 days of beauty sale and the good news is that I don’t have any urges to shop. Nothing is calling my name, so I am doing really well in this no buy. I thought there might be some powder foundation or tempting cheek products, but I am just immune to all that at the moment. Every once in a while I get some samples, but often I even skip getting the samples of any…

Hi everyone! Around this time a year, with spring around the corner, I get the itch to try out new products on the market. I have a couple of Elf and Essence products on my wish list. However, when I get that urge to do more than window shopping, I try to take a look at my collection. This time around, I thought it might be fun to document the state of my collection in order to prevent myself from…

Hi everyone! Hope you are having a great start of the New Year and hope you had a nice time celebrating. Have you made any New Years’ resolutions? I am hoping for this year to be healthy, peaceful and a happy one, and my goals are health and exercise related as well as staying mindful in as many aspects of my life as possible. With this in mind, I am applying this mindset also to my consumption. Since we are…

Hi everyone! I am in an organizing mood again, so I am cleaning up physical and virtual space around me. I was organizing my make up spread sheet (yup, I have one of those for make up) and looking at the numbers from this and the past years. Lots of make up products got used, as you may have seen in my last post. I passed on some things to my friends and family due to the fact that I…

Make up I have used up in 2021 Hi everyone! What a year! I will skip those clichés about the end of the year and time flying by, so I will jump right  to the point. We have a lot to talk about. I have not been using as much makeup as I have been in the previous years. I do love getting ready and playing with makeup, sometimes just for around the house, but it still takes a while…

Hi everyone! Who feels hot these days? Everyone!!! Sun is blazing so hard all day here where I am at, but hey, we wanted the summer to come along with long days and its warmth. So, here we are: the sun, hot days, humidity, but still tons of fun and surge of optimism as we are stepping into the new season and all the things it is bringing us. Also, I am feeling  more optimistic now that I am fully…

Hi everyone! Life has been a bit hectic lately, so I have not been writing much, as you may have noticed. Also, I have not been wearing a lot of make up, so I did not have much update in that area. I have been trying out some new skincare and adding some new products to my routine. However, I wanted to talk today about ELF cosmetics. Elf (or eyes lips face as it stands for) is a well known…

Hi everyone! Every time the Spring comes around I have the biggest urge to clean and reorganize. Since I have washed all the windows, reorganized our kitchen cabinets (patting myself on the back!), cleaned out the closets and all, the time has come to clear out some make up. As much as I try to make sure I use it all, sometimes it happens that some items expire. I don’t like when it happens, but I don’t like eye or…

Hi everyone. I wanted to talk about my favorite skincare brand today. It is a Croatian brand and it is called Skintegra. They have brick and mortar store in Zagreb, as well as the online shop where you can find their products. They have an amazing selection of skincare products and they are cruelty free. They are also very mindful about the environment with their packaging, so there is a huge plus from me as well. Moo likes them as…
