In my first post I’d like to make a quick overview of most interesting products I purchased after my last post. It is sort of hard to remember already.My Estee Lauder Double Wear Powder that I absolutely love fell down and went into pieces. I tried to use it for a while anyway but would always end up messy :-D So I needed a new powder. At first I wanted to go for my usual choice but the sails

Beauty Shopping: Genifique by Lancome
I finally splurged on my spring skin care kick. This year it is concentrated treatment from Lancome Genifique, the Youth Activator.

Beauty Shopping: Mani-Pedi Essentials
I usually go for a mani-pedi to a local beauty salon. However recently I have been wondering how much I would be able to save if I started doing at-home mani-pedi from time to time... So I decided I needed to get some essentials. I am not completely mani-pedi oblivious, of course. I do take care of my feet and hands and I do have certain tools like nail files, scissors, cuticle softener and

Beauty Shopping: Dior All-In-One Artistry Palette 008 Smoky Design
Recently I have been drawn like a magnet to Dior makeup. Just about a month ago I invested into a limited edition gold eye shadow. And now I got a palette of 5 shadows. I have been eyeing this palette for a long long time. I wanted a good palette for doing a smoky gray-silver-black eye. What I was looking for is a combination of shades that would allow me to vary intensity of the smoky eye makeup

Traveling on business and for pleasure to Brussels a week ago I was looking forward to doing some shopping! Our hotel was right next to Grand Place so I did not get to shop at the world famous Avenue Louise...sigh...

Beauty Shopping: Dior Svelte Body Contouring And Firming Concentrate
Yes, I finally laid my hands on this product. After so much talking and changing my plans I finally got it. I am not at all satisfied with the results I got with Colistar’s intensive cellulite treatment. Before pronouncing that anti-cellulite products just don’t work I am going to give Dior’s product a chance. In addition to helping combat cellulite Dior promises tightening and contouring effects

Beauty Shopping: Shiseido Daily Bronze Moisturizing Emulsion
Today I restocked on Estee Lauder Anti-Stress Masks and I got something new – a bronzing daily moisturizer by Shiseido.

Beauty Shopping: Avene Cleanance and Collistar Super-Concentrated Anticellulite Night Treatment
Shopping again!Rather than being loyal to my usual Estee Lauder Verite Cleanser I decided to try Avene’s Cleanance soapless gel cleanser. The fact that it was for oily, blemish-prone sensitive skin got my attention. I was not 100% sure as my skin is not that oily but in the recent months I had some annoying break outs. So I decided to give it a try.I have been dreaming of trying Dior’s Svelte for

Beauty Shopping: Substantific Neck and Decollete Treatment
Just when I thought that I will never go more expensive than Clarins’ Advanced Neck and Decolte cream I bough about a month ago, I went completely insane and got Guearlain Substantific Densifying Nourishing Sculpting Neck and Decollete Treatment. It seems even more crazy because it is definitely for more mature skin than mine. Well, in my defense it doesn’t hurt to try it out and I wouldn’t have

This Christmas as always my hubby inquired sweetly what I would like to see among the presents under the Christmas tree.
