For the last couple of weeks, I have been using the Tea Tree Cool & Creamy Wash* from The Body Shop, almost every day. It is described as a deep-cleansing daily wash which leaves skin super-clean, fresh and velvet soft and that's exactly what it is. Being in my late teens, my skin has blemishes and it's quite sensitive too, and I find that this product calms my skin, in some way. I've notice my skin being more even and it says that it works to banish blemish causing bacteria as it contains Tea Tree which is one of natures most potent antibacterials.
To use it, I squeeze a pea sized amount onto my fingertip and apply onto my damp face. Then, I massage lightly in small circular movements across the face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Lastly, I rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a soft towel. When you use it the first thing you'll probably notice is the fresh, forest smell, and then you might start feeling a cooling and refreshing sensation. I love that cooling sensation as it makes me relax, somehow. Sometimes, I wait a couple of seconds before rinsing the product off, just to enjoy that cool feeling. It's so cool, it sort of burns sometimes, but in a pleasant way, like a mint chewing gum. After removing it, it leaves the skin matter, softer, fresh, clean and brighter. In addition, I've noticed some reduction of the redness on my face and I think it makes my skin a bit lighter.

Oh, this must be an incredible surprise to all mankind! You know I can't resist buying things some times, and the month of February had quite a few of those times! I promise that I will not buy anything I don't need in March, and hopefully I can prove that I can control my inner shopping maniac. But for the time being, I will share with you a few things that have been added to my wardrobe, shower and makeup bag!
I'll just start with the biggest in size and move to the smaller items. Firstly, I have a burgundy top from Bershka to show you all. You can't see the actual shape and design of the fabric because it's folded in the photo above. I might do a collective haul video for my youtube channel, which I've sort of abandoned, and there you would see me wearing it. Let me know if would want the haul video. I got it in a small size but it's quite flowy and it was 15 Euro. In addition it's 100% Polyester and it has 3 silver studs.
I've been wanting to get something with a monochrome print for ages! There was a pair of leggings with vertical black and white lines that I wanted to get from Terranova, but when I went to buy them, they were sold out. The girl at the counter introduced me to another monochrome print, which I loved. This resulted in me buying the pair of leggings shown above in a print that I can only describe as an abstract aztec. Size small again, and I paid 10 Euro.

Good evening my readers. I hope you have had a relaxing weekend and you are ready for Monday, tomorrow. Mondays are always hard, in my opinion. For my Monday I have to go to university for my English lesson and then I will have my third driving lesson. So far I can only say that I honestly dislike driving. Do you have any driving tips?
I wasn't sure for what to blog today. I was thinking of doing a January favourites post, but then I realised that I didn't have many products and the majority of them had been featured in my 2012 Favourites. So, I thought I should do a little review on a kit that I have been using for a while now. That is the Greenland Coconut Skin Kit. I have been wanting to blog about this for some time, because I use it everyday.
My best friend got me this for my birthday. At first, I wasn't very thrilled with it, simply because I'm not the biggest fan of coconuts. Well, I wasn't before trying this. This kit includes three products. A lip balm, a body butter and a hand cream. Let's talk about them, shall we?

Hello everyone and I hope you are all doing well! For my last blog post of the week I've decided to share with your beautiful souls my current go-to beauty products. These are the cosmetics that I have been using everyday to get ready in the morning for University. Let's start by saying how I want to look for uni. I want a routine that takes a couple of minutes and I really don't want to look like I'm wearing any makeup, especially since the other girls in my class don't look overdone.
I start by applying my Aloe Vera Day Cream from LR, because my skin is normal to dry and this moisturizer is amazing for dry skin. This product is under 20 Euro. I skip foundation because when you are a perfectionist like me it takes forever to blend and I really don't have a lot of blemishes. Instead I use concealer to cover up any darkness under the eyes, around the mouth, redness on my cheeks and the veins on my eyelids. I am currently using Select Cover Up Concealer in NW20, which is a good match for me, maybe it would have been better if it were an NW15. I apply the concealer with an E25 brush from Sigma. I believe I paid about 18euro for it. After that I set the concealer with a tinted loose powder from LR with the same brush, focusing on the eye area, because the concealer will crease if not set properly. The powder has the old packaging and if you were to buy it today, you would pay 15euro.

Helloooooo :)
Today I bring you the simplest way to get rid of your dead skin. I am the queen of dry hands!
You could use this method for any part of your body. I have also tried it for my lips and the result was satisfying.
So what will you need to exfoliate your skin? White sugar and water. That's all. Pretty simple, right? If you want it to be "better quality" you could use olive oil or honey. I hope you enjoy :) Bye!
