favourites - FOTD

Hello!

I wanted to share some favourites of 2014 and I'll start with my face! :)

This is pretty much what I wear on my face on a daily basis....my FOTD which means face of the day (took me such a long time to figure out that one!). I don't like to wear lots of make up, hate wearing foundation, powder...pretty much never wear it.

Andalou SPF 30 serum (love) I MUST wear minimum of SPF 30 (hyperpigmentation) - Vitacost.

If I'm going to be running errands then I'll top Andalou with Nuxe's BB cream (it only has a SPF of 8?? That is the only bad thing I have to say about this BB cream...and the fact that it only has two shade of which I wear the lightest and if you're very fair skinned I think it will be too dark).

For under eye circles, around the ol' schonz I use RMS Beauty's Un Cover Up - Naturissimo.

I use Bourjois's Ultra Care mascara. I have sensitive eyes and this doesn't irritate them. I want to try Lavera's mascara once I'm done with this one.

I go back and for and sometimes blend Ilia's In My Room (love the colour, lasts on the lips but it takes a bit of work to get it on the lips) and Logona's Double Lip Pencil in 01. I LOVE the Logona Double Lip Pencil and want to get other shades - Love Lula.

When my cousin came to visit from Canada her brought me Tarte's blush in Exposed and it's pretty much all I've been wearing. 

Lush's Vanillary solid perfum is my FAVOURITE! 

All the Christmas 'stuff' is coming down. With all the deadlines I had and sick kids, hubby in the hospital Christmas slipped past me. I didn't even got the Christmas mass because I was home with Jakov (who was sick...and then the next day Mia got sick...then Marko...).

I'm saying goodbye to this Christmas tree. I bought it the first Christmas after my father passed away...so I was 21 (I'm 40 now). I lived in a one bedroom apartment and this tree looked HUGE in it! lol! It looks tiny in our home now.  It's been falling apart the last few Christmas's and looks a tad shabby...looking forward to buying a new tree...or maybe we'll go with real tree's.

FOTD favourites

Hello!

I'm sharing (besides a bad photo) my FOTD (face of the day) products which pretty much is what I've been using throughout the summer. So if you rather see something crafty then I suggest you pop by the Jane's Doodles blog and check out Mariana's FAB card! :)

Let me just stress...I'm not a make up artist nor do I know anything about it!! This is just what works for me (and I'm not very good at describing colours, textures either).

My mom sent me Physician's Formula Organic Wear CC cream and I LOVE it! The coverage is awesome for a cc cream...I didn't expect that! The shade I'm wearing is Light/Medium. It's got an SPF 20. I put my La Roche Posay Anthelios XL 50 underneath (I have both tinted and non tinted....just running errands I'll wear the tinted with a little RMS Beauty uncover up under my eyes.

Bourjois's Volume Glamour Ultra Care mascara is one of my favourites. It's for sensitive eyes and I have no irritation when I wear it. It's a bit wet when you first use it but after a few time the texture is just right! :)

RMS Beauty Un Cover Up is one of my newest discoveries (I have shade 22)! I use it mainly for under my eyes (might I stress that I have horribly dark circles...totally genetic and need circus make up to make it disappear. Un Cover Up lighten the area and makes me look alive if you know what I mean). It's a gorgeous texture, full of natural, amazing ingredients. I ordered mine from Naturisimo (keep an eyes out for sales/deals..they have them often).

On my nails I pretty much wore Essie's Lapiz of Luxury the whole summer. 

Another discovery is Sante Naturkosmetik (German brand). I was looking for a 'green' lipstick and came across this brand at Muller and so happy I did. It's a gorgeous pinky coral shade that brightens up my complextion. I love the texture...doesn't dry out my lips. 

Another Sante product (which I don't use on my face but I added it in the photo) is their hand cream (Bio-Goji & Olive). Smells so good! Fruity but not a platic fruity smell (if you know what I mean). Perfect for the day time as it doesn't leave my hands greasy or anything. 

Tart's blushes are one of my favourites! Dollface is the shade I've been wearing all summer long!

And most of the time I've got good ol' Burt's Bees lip balm on my lips!

Take care!

summer beauty favourites

Hello!

I hope all is well! :)

I'm popping in to share some beauty favourites I'm enjoying.

Nuxe BB cream - my favourite! Only bad thing is the SPF...it's spf 8 or something so I have to wear a higher spf under it (which really defeats the purpose of a BB cream) but other than that it's my favourite! It's got a strong scent (peaches) which doesn't bother me and it goes away. Evens out my skin tone and lasts all day on my skin.

Physician's Formula CC cream - my mom sent this to me and I love it! The coverage is great for a CC cream and it last pretty much all day on my skin.

La Roche-Posay Anthelios - I love the tinted version for everyday use. This is an oldie but a goodie! 

Primavera - Argan oil. LOVE!

RMS Beauty Uncover Up - This is new to me. I L.O.V.E it! I use it under my eyes and anywhere else I need to conceal. The texture is so creamy...doesn't crease under my eyes and I ordered a back up! Enough said! I want to try their Lip&Cheek pots. I ordered mine (because I live in Croatia) from Naturisimo and loved the service.

Burt's Bees - I LOVE the peppermint one...love the tingle on the lips! The tinted one I have is in Rose..so pretty (I bought it in Muller).

Tarte blushes - My cousin from Canada brought me a new Tarte blush in Exposed...gor.ge.ous! I want them all is what I want! LOL! The other colour I have is Dollface. They are the only blushes I use.

Weleda Salt toothpaste - I absolutely LOVE this toothpaste! The first few times I used it I have to be honest and say I didn't know what to think...salty, doesn't foam...what?!! But now I'm hooked! I notice my husband reaching for it too! :)

Clinique Chubby Sticks - I've had these for a while now, my favourite everyday shade is Whole Lotta Honey. The other one I use is in Woppin' Watermelon. I'm on the hunt for new lipsticks and preferably 'green'. I've got my eye on Ilia and Red Apple lipsticks!

I forgot to add this to the mix. This I have been using for years on me, my husband, the kids...Lord knows the pets are next! lol!

Nikel Coconut Butter - This amazing Coconut Butter is natural goodness AND it's a Croatian product! It's got...are you ready...coconut butter, cocoa butter, olive oil, almond oil, sesame oil, sunflower oil, carrot oil and vitamin E! The MOTHER of all butters!

First off I have no idea why my hand (skin) looks green?? lol! And I'm too tired and have too much to do to take another photo! I have been wearing these two shade all summer long. I usually wear very neutral colours like Essie's Sand Tropez or dark colours like Essie's After School Boy Blazer. It's been forever since I've worn a red or a coral shade...I don't know why because I love seeing it on other girls/ladies...I don't know...

Collistar Gloss Nail Lacquer - I really love this formula...I've only tried these two colours and so far so good! Last longer on my nails than Essie (Essie lasts a day people! They have amazing colours but they just don't last with or without base and top coats!)...and that's with no base or top coat. Shade 558 reminds me of Essie's Splash of Grenadine. I'm wearing this colour.

Ok...nuff about lotions and postions onto a crafty sneak peek! Pop on over to the JD blog and check out Mariana's adorable card and details on today's flash sale! :)

Have a great day!
