I want to show you my small collection not because I want to brag, but these pieces are so timeless and I think they make such a perfect gift. This is not sponsored or anything, only my oppinion & I got all of them myself.

GREY CHRISTMAS WISHLIST

Hello my dralings. As christmas is comming up I made my wishlists, not that I am getting any of these now, but these are the material things, that would make my heart melt. There are more more more and more of things that I crave & I am happy that I can crave something, because the problem with out society is that when you get something, you do not value it. So when you still don't have it, it makes you happy inside to think about them.

Have you ever seen any of thes shampoos? You have? Have you ever had any of them or planned to get one? It's not a secret that it is mission impossible to find the right shampoo for your hair, we, girls, keep on trying to find the perfect one. Even if you find it, your hair gets use to it and you have to continue the search. 

FASHION BY AGNE

One rainy November evening Lithuanian bloggers gathered at Lithuanian designer studio in the old town of Vilnius. I am talking about designer, that most of you probably have never heard of, it's Agne Deveikyte. She invited us to show us her new autumn/winter collection and have a nice chat.

SIMPLE EYE ROLL-ON

Comming back to you again. I had this Simple eye roll-on for few months already and I haven't shared my thoughts on it so I think it's time!

VIVI HYDRATING FACE LOTION

Hey ladies. I have been flooded with uni work these couple of weeks, so I didn't have time or inspiration to write anything for you. I have submitted more than a half of my assignments so I have  a bit more time now. Today is my loves birthday, so I decided to give myself a day off hehe. And I'm gonna try to be productive.

Are you having a nice sunday ladies? This crappy weather makes me dull and lazy. I don't want to get my feet out of the bed. Lazyyyy. Well this time not about that. I want to introduce you to this goooorgeous autumnal eyeshadow pallet by Make up factory.

BATISTE DRY SHAMPOO

Dry shampoo? I know you all know what it is and what it does. When women decides to try out dry shampoo, their first thought is to get Batiste. It's probably the best known dry shampoo brand in the world. And the question is... is it worth the hype?

TINY IKEA HAUL & SECRET SECTION

Hello ladies. Hope you're enjoying your friday. Weekend mode is on for me. And speaking about weekends, last weekend we went to ikea to check the desk I want to get and look for a chair. And as always I cannot come back without purchasing anything. But I am not here to brag or show what I got, the main thing I am doing this haul is because I found this section in Ikea that I didn't know about and think that some of you neither. 

ECLAIR RECIPE

Hello ladies! Probably there's no need to explain what eclair is and everybody's ate one in their life. It's a very delicious french pastry that I tried to make few days ago and today I made it again. It is easy to make so I want to share the recipe for you. Sorry for the yellowish last pictures, the natural light was gone until I baked them. 

JUVENA DAY & NIGHT CREAMS

Finally friday guys! I had my brother over for six days and we've been strolling in the city, I showed him some cute places, because he hasn't been in Vilnius for ages. What's up with you ladies? I totally forgot to share my thoughts on these Juvena creams that I got to try out. I finished these samples long time ago.

ANNY NAILS

Hello gals. Getting back to you twice a day, probably a record lol. Well I was thinking it's time to share my thoughts on these ANNY nailpolishes I got to try out. As always my honest oppinion:

FENJAL BODY OILS

Hello ladies! Today I want to share with you two products, that help my body to get through this cold season. Ant that's Fenhal body oils.

L'OREAL COLOR RICHE NAILS

Since I got ANNY nailpolishes to try out, I switched to usual nail polishes instead of gels. It might be because I hate taking off gel nailpolish and nowadays usual nailpolishes are so quick drying and long lasting that you can get away with them just fine.

OOTD: DOGTOOTH

Hello ladies. Sharing my today's outfit of the day. Have a nice weekend!

PUPA MATT LIP FLUID

Hello my lovelies. Autumn is kickin and that means cozy sweaters, coats, dark colours aaand... matt lips. I've got two matt liquids that need to be reviewed. So there we go!

MAYBELLINE FOUNDATION NR.1

Hey my lovelies. Today I want to do a comparison post because a while ago I got some Maybelline foundations to try out and I want you to get the impression and maybe help you to find suitable for you. 

First of all I want to express how shocked I was when I got these. All of them were in completely different shades and it seemed like they didn't put any effort to find out what could suit me better. Some of them I couldn't even wear outside, so I am not gonna talk about longevity of these products. 

So I got Better Skin (BS) shade 020 cameo, Dream Fresh BB cream (DFBB) in light medium, Affitone (AT) in 17 rose and Dream satin liquid (DSL) in 48 sun beige.

PACKAGING:

- BS packaging is very usual maybelline one. It has a nice pump and is easy to use. It is simple, but doesn't look cheap or luxurious too.
- DFBB packaging is without pump, but it doesn't make it harder to use. It is simple and reminds me of essence BB packaging.
- AT packaging is a disaster, when you open it up, the foundation starts to get out and you cannot easily dose the product. When it comes to closing it, you have to be very careful and quick, so that the product doesn't het everywhere. Been there, done that.
- DSL packaging is as great as BS, has a nice pump. Nothing too fancy.


SHADE:
- BS shade was too pinkish for me and to light. Be careful, because in the bottle it doesn't look like pink and the name doesn't suggest that too.
- DFBB shade was the closest to mine. I would say it's in the middle between pink and yellow, just the kind I need.
- AT was a tiny bit too rosy, but wearable.
- DSL shade was completely unsuitable for me. It is probably for a dark skin girls. It has a yellowish undertone, so bear that in mind.


COVERAGE:
- BS has  low coverage
- DFBB has low coverage and it would not cover any bigger problems
- AT has a medium coverage that is also lightly buildable, but I wouldn't suggest going too far as it would give you that cakey effect.
- DSL has medium coverage. Wouldn't suggest building it up on this one.


SKIN TYPE:
- BS would fit oily complection skin as it is drying and for dry skin women it would point out the problem areas.
- DFBB is for dryer skin girls
- AT is also for dry skin women as it has moisturizing formula and might make the face shinier
- DSL might fit all skin types

SPF:
- BS 20
- DFBB 30
- AT 0
- DSL 13

OTHER FEATURES:
- BS might clog pores and give a cake effect
- DFBB has a lot of unsafe ingredients that might provoke pimples and brake outs
- AT looks bit unnatural, especially using flash light photography
- DSL looks beautiful on skin, but has some unsafe ingredients

BS:

DFBB:

  AT:

DSL:

All in all, my favourite one was... Dream Satin liquid, as it looke soo good on the skin and it has anice coverage, sadlu the shade I got was completely unwearable, so I might get my shade and maybe update you on it. Other than that the other foundations are worth trying if you carefully choose it. Do not be affraid to try it in store for a couple of times, see how it looks in a daylight and indoors. 

Would love to hear from you what you think of them and maybe some of you tried any of these. Let me know in the comments. 

Have a nice monday. Kisses! :)

HOW TO: 2eur HAIRCUT

To begin with, this is in no way a sponsored post, I am sharing only my experience. If the title caught your eye, I want to be true, the price was 1.8eu in total for hairwash and cut. You might as hooow? The answer is - begnner hairdresser. "Yeah right, like I want her to ruin my hair" you may say, but let me share my experience of trainee hairdresser.

NIVEA PEARL&BEAUTY

Hey girls. The biggest struggle since becoming a young lady was to find a good deodorant. And I know I am not alone on this one. A good deodorant gives you a boost of confidence all the time and a bad one can make you feel miserable. I've tried A LOT of different one and this time I think I am going to go with this one for a while. It's Nivea pearl&beauty.

SKINCODE CELLULAR POWER CONCENTRATE

Hello my dears. Today I want to share with you my thoughts on a product I've been using quite a while. It's Skincode exclusive cellular concentrate. Skincode is a high-end swiss brand that is known for it's products quality. Today we will find out what's hiding behind this long name of the product.

The packaging reveals that the product is luxurious. It is sleek, minimalistic and eye-catching. It has a dropper that's very easy to use and dose. It's my first time using a dropper and I have to admit that's very handy. It contains 30ml of concentrate and you only need few drops a day. 

This concentrate is made of ACR Complex G2, Moisture Matrix, Tripeptide, Hyaluronic Acid, Red Algae and Vitamins. It is free from parabens and it only contains allergen-free fragrance.  It is made for normal to dry skin as it might be too heavy for oily skin. 

The product is made to revitalize and de-stress dull and dehydrated skin. To feel all benefits of it you have to follow the regimen of 6-8 weeks of daily use, because it is an intensive sos skin therapy. I am using it for about 4 weeks now and I became completely addicted to the product. Also to the application process as it is so much fun. I can already feel how softer my skin became and my forehead wrinkles became a bit less visible. I only use it before sleep as it dries out slower than my regular morning cream and I simply do not have the time to wait. Also after application my face gets a bit sticky, but that pass away quickly.

I know it's a very expensive product, but if you are looking for a high-end facial product, definitely check it out. For people that cannot aford it (myself included) I would say that it is not the must have product you would have to save up for months. 

I might make an updated review as my cycle ends. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask, I would be happy to answer.

Kisses! :)

BeYu SCANDALOUS LIPS

Hello my beautiful readers. I come today with a fresh review about two lipglosses from BeYu. It's their shade No. 25 Tempting pink and No. 62 Famous nude. If you want to find out what I liked and what not, continue reading...

OOTD: Black&White

Autumn is knocking on our door and with the change of the season I decided to change my hair a bit. I cut them like 10cm and they feel so short as I am used to the long ones. But it's way more comfortable and I feel like wearing them loose more. What are your changes for new season?

ONE POUND MAGIC

Magic? What... Yes! Everyone's been raving about facial cleansing at the moment, about fancy electrics and stuff. I was a bit sceptical about those, do they really make a big difference? are they worth the money? how long it will last me?... I knew one thing, I am not willing to spend that kind of money not knowing if it's worth it. So I was kind of in a search for something to cleanse my face with. You saw a haul post I wrote about a wooden brush with natural bristles and how it didn't really work out for me. So this time about something a bit different. What's that one pound magic all about?

This little thingy is made from gum (I assume) and has tiny bristles that doesn't harm the face and are soft to the touch. The product (i have no name, so let's call it pinkey hehe)is very flexible, so it gets to the hard to get spots. I use it to cleanse my face and neck. And that's not only that. It also removes all the dead skin cells and massages the skin in a way that I have never felt my face being massaged. You can really feel the difference. Face is left baby soft and I cannot stop touching it. Not to mention other benefits of the massage. If you aren't aware, our skin starts to slow down the renewal (making of new skin cells) process when we reach 21 or more and needs some help. Regular massage helps it to keep these processes on time and helps to prolong better looking youthful skin.

You can keep it in the shower, that way you will not forget to use it every few days. 

To be honest I have no idea where you can get it or how it's called, but mark my words, it is AH MA ZING!

WEEKEND GETAWAY | RIGA

Hello everyone. Week is starting and we are resting after weekend trip. Back when I was in UK I spotted some hot deals to go to Riga and Tallinn by bus. This weekend we went to Riga only for two euros both ways. Incredible, isn't it?

ST. TROPEZ TAN OPTIMIZER

Even when the summer ends, people, especially girls, still want to have a nice tan. There are two options, go to a sunbed or apply a fake tan. Doesn't matter which one you choose, your body still needs some prep. That's when you use bodyscrub. I came across this St. Tropez (a very famous fake tan brand) tan optimizer (a.k.a. scrub) and want to share my thoughts about it.


So texture of the product is very light. It glides through the skin very softly, moisturizing it, but at the same time removing the dead skin cells. The crub foams up a little bit letting you use less product on more skin.

What I hate generally about scrubs is that they are hard to get rid of after using, they get into the most secret parts of the body (hehe not what you thinking about) and even after long rinse, they tend to stay somewhere there. Where this tan optimizer is easily rinsable (idk if that's the word though). Easy peasy.

Ingredients of the product aren't the most organic, but it does contains some good stuff.

Would love to hear your thoughts of this product or any other good scrubs out there.

Kisses! :)

SLEEK MATTE ME

Matte makes everything so much better, prettier and sexier. Not long ago I was in a search for the perfect red matte lipstick of gloss. I came across this Sleek lipgloss, well you cannot really say gloss, because it's everything but glossy.
