Sephora, L'occitane __ my recent beauty purchases and gifts

Happy Monday everyone, 

Today I want to you show you a few beauty products that I actually bought during Black Friday sale at Sephora and I was going to publish this post that time, but I didn't get a chance to do it until now. So, now about my purchases: after happily finished my Estee Lauder "Hydrationist" Maximum Moisture Cream, it was time for me to try something new, and since I have dry skin that gets even drier in colder months, I always need extra moisture this time of a year and I decided to buy L'occitane Shea Ultra Rich Comforting cream for Dry to Very Dry skin. 

 Nails Inc nail polish in Crown Place.  I have never tried any nail polish from this brand, the only reason I decided to buy was its gorgeous golden shade. Unfortunately, it didn't work as well as I expected __ the color is absolutely gorgeous, but it's not a good quality nail polish, it leaves some lines on my nails, and chips after 2 days. As you can guess,  I will never buy it again.

Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua ultra-light skin perfecting sunscreen makeup Broad Spectrum SPF15 review

Happy Monday everyone, hope you all are doing great.
I know, I've been gone forever but I'm back and today I want to share with you my thoughts on this Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua ultra-light skin perfecting sunscreen makeup Broad Spectrum SPF15.
You may think it's Chanel, and everything is clear about the quality, but keep reading to find out whether it's worth to spend $48 on it.

As the label claims:

'The tiniest drop of this hybrid fluid creates a fresh, natural complexion. Skin looks refined and feels refreshed, creating an exquisite makeup experience.'

Estee Lauder 'Hydrationist' Maximum Moisture Creme review

Happy Monday sweeties,

Hope you had wonderful weekend. Today I'm going to share with you my experience about this Estee Lauder moisturizer: I got my first Estee Lauder 'Hydrationist' Maximum Moisture Creme 6 years ago __ it was my first skincare product that I bought soon after I moved to the United States (I can't believe, I still remember it haha) but what I don't remember is how it worked for my skin that time, so I decided to give it another try and bought it after I finish my Estee Lauder 'Verite' cream (you can read my review  __ Here). 

Estee Lauder 'Hydrationist' Maximum Moisture Creme

As the label says, this Estee Lauder moisturizer is for normal to combination skin. When I started applying this moisturizer it was that time when Estee Lauder 'Verite' slowly made my skin look better after awful break out from my previous shampoo, and I was quite nervous about giving this one a try but it worked great for my skin. 

Love the lightweight formula, it moisturizes the skin and leaves amazing  silky feeling. I apply it every morning , it absorbs quickly and it's perfect to use under makeup. Only thing you have to keep in mind is that if you are going to use it as a day moisturiser you will need to use other products with SPF factor because 'Hydrationist' will not protect you from sun damage( I personally use a liquid foundation with SPF factor).

It has some fresh smell, but doesn't bother me. What I would change about this cream is its packaging __ I never liked a jar for skincare products, otherwise I'm happy I gave it another try. 

Have you used this moisturizer? Share your experience in the comments below.

Wish you all a fabulous start of the week.

Chanel Le Blanc Light Creator Brightening Makeup Base SPF 40 Sunscreen review

Happy Wednesday lovelies, After a little breack I'm back to blogging and I want to show you guys this Chanel Le Blanc Light Creator Brightening Makeup Base SPF 40 .

You may remember I was so disapointed with Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer (you can read about it __ Here) and I'm so happy I found one that I can  at least, use. It's probably not the best primer on the market but with the proper foundation it can work .

The label claims:
"Now enriched with SPF 40, this lightweight, oil-free formula enhances radiance and extends the wear of foundation for an all-day rosy glow. A new yellow-based shade, Mimosa, provides sheer coverage to help visibly correct the appearance of shadows and unevenness."

What is the best part about Bvlgari 'Pour Femme' perfume holiday set

Happy Wednesday everyone. Today I decided to share with you guys my thoughts on this Bvlgari 'Pour Femme' perfume.

This Bvlgari perfume holiday set, that includes a full-size Eau-de-Perfume and a deluxe travel size perfume, was one of my birthday gifts, back in November, but since I was busy getting ready for traveling, I didn't get a chance to do a review until now. OK, let's talk about this perfume:                         

The label says: "This contemporary fragrance interprets the intensity of the precious fine jewelry world and translates it into a delicate harmony of floral and feminine scents. The pure architectural “décolleté” shaped bottle ideally interprets the sensual character of the fragrance."

Smashbox Travel kit

 Happy Wednesday beauties, hope you are having a wonderful week so far. Today let me show this cute travel kit by Smashbox that I got before  I went to Europe few months ago and only now I got a chance to show you guys.

First of all, I have to recognize that I've never used any of Smashbox beauty products before so I didn't know what to expect from this brand. That's why I decided to try something in travel size, so that even if it didn’t work for my skin, I would not worry too much about it.
