Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Perfume
This is my favourite scent ever! It`s perfection, I find. It`s sweet and floral. To me, this is like a dream. I tend to go for sugary sweet perfumes, (Angel by T Mugler, Hot Coututre-Ghivency, JPG, Wish-Chopard) but Flowerbomb overdoes them all. My... +
This is my favourite scent ever!
It`s perfection, I find. It`s sweet and floral. To me, this is like a dream. I tend to go for sugary sweet perfumes, (Angel by T Mugler, Hot Coututre-Ghivency, JPG, Wish-Chopard) but Flowerbomb overdoes them all. My bf introduced me to it, and I`ve loved it ever since.
Its pure perfection.`
Top notes are bergamot and tea, Middle notes are Jasmine, Freesia and Orchid and Base Notes are Centiflora rose and Patchouli. Stop by the Bay (they are the only ones to carry it in Canada)and give it a sniff. I guarantee you you`ll fall in love with it as well.

Revlon Red is my no1. nail polish! It is the perfect red. It lasts long, gioes on nicely, dries up in a decent amount of time, and keeps that glossy look. I love love love it. It has now become my trademark... red nails everytime.
However, I did try a few other colours and I was very dissapointed. Very very sheer and blah looking.

A good product but tricky . High intensity pigment indeed, which makes it difficult to work with I find, and not easy for a subtle day to day 5 minute routine. It takes a lot of work, as you have to blend it well otherwise you might end u with a very harsh looking make-up.
Overall, I am not sorry I got it... I just need to adjust to it.

I too, love honey... especially for beauty purposes.
My secret recipe would be the one where I smash a copule of non coated aspirins, a few tablets of zinc and i mix honey. I apply it to my face and leave it on for about 20 mins. When I wash it off, I make sure I rub the mixture around my face for a mechanical exfolation. It`s the most amazing mask ever.
My other favourite would be the one where I use fresh yeast (I`ve used powdered organic as well) with a few drops of warm milk and honey. Sometimes i just mixx yeat and honey, apply it to clean damp face, leave on for 20 mins wash off. The most amazing glow results.
oh I could go on forever. Honey is so versatile...

I have this in Bronze Glow, a mixture between a blush and a bronzer. I can use it to subtly contour my face under my cheekbones, or apply it on the apples of my cheeks for a sheer glow, with peachy touches. I really like it. It`s very sheer, so it`s easy not to overdo it... and end up with heavy clown like blushed cheeks. It blends nicely and gives me that subtle healthy glow.
It`s a bit pricey... but an over-all decent product.

I have a huge issue with hand creams. My hands are a total disaster during winter, they are so dry and ill looking, I get this crocodile skin with cracks that actually burn when I use sanitizer or wash with hot water. Aside from my miracle sea salt and olive oil scrub... I found this cream, which is amazing. My biggest issue with hand creams in general is the greasy film they leave behind, I feel as if I am wearing invisible gloves, and the fact that cosmeticadatabase.com gives most of them such a low score in safety makes my freak out. I have to be careful not to eat anything, not to touch my lips, my eyes or my skin.
Well, Weleda absorbs sooooo nicely. It`s like my skin soaks it right in, no greasy film left behind, no slippery fingers, no oily marks left on whatever I touch. It hydrates soooo well, and I am at ease knowing that I am not poisoning myself with it.
I highly recommend this hand cream. It`s AMAZING!

It`s a cream under Weleda`s baby line, but I was looking for a nourishing, soothing natural facial cream, for the winter season. And I found it. It`s great to nourish dry sensitive skin, it absorbs fast and leaves no greasy film behind. And... did I mention it`s natural? I love Weleda products... and this one is one of my favourites. I wouldn`t wear it under make-up, but when I did it behaved very very well, It moisturized just enough but didn`t feel greasy, make up didn`t run or shine.
Overall, if you are looking for a natural alternative to a winter moisturizer... give this a try. You can`t go wrong with it.

I really like this mascara. I love the bursh...it`s thick and offers great coverage... makes my lashes look full and thick. Great product if volume is what you`re looking for. At the same time, I find it does a great job with length. If I only apply one coate I get a clean, decent, sublte yet polished look, lashes are fairly long and full, but not overboard. A few coats after I can get that wow-factor... crazy long and dense lashes.
The texture is nice, it doesn`t flake, fairly easy to apply, easy to get those corner lashes with no mess left behind....
I would recommend this mascara.
