My life has been really busy these past few months so I've been loving longlasting products.
I've been adoring my mini sample of Tony Moly Cherry Tint since it gives a lovely cherry red color.
It's water based so it's lightweight, non-sticky and lasts for hours. I wore it recently in my Dolly look post.
I NEED a full size in a shape of a cat (you can get it here).
L'oreal Caresse Stain in Milady is a recent new addition. It's way more sticky and glossy but gives a nice longlasting stain. My only complaint is application and uneven stain (depending on your lip condition).
Highlighter is a must for my dull skin. Catrice Prime & Fine Highlighting Powder impressed me with it's fine rose-gold effect. It's really subtle and really different from typical highlighting shades.
In the pan it looks pink but blends into multi-colored shimmer with gold base. Not to mention it's dirt cheap.
I've been also sporting bold brows with Maybelline Define-a-brow which is a wax based pencil. It's a dark grey color suited for cooler hair colors and mixing it up with my Catrice Eye-Brow pencil in Ash.
Catrice Hugo Moss was my favorite nail polish. Gives a really nice Christmasy feel combining it with reds or golds. It's a lovely dark, mossy green. Surprising enough I really like it since I usually stay away from greens.
Yves Rocher Vanille OR perfume smells exactly like Kinder surprise, literally. It's a nice rich, almost buttery vanilla with a hint of cocoa. I'm really impressed with Yves Rocher perfumes- they last all day and I can even smell them a few days later on my clothes. Win!
Since I had a 50% off coupon for Got2B I wanted to try out Beach girl salt spray.
Yes, not the best time to try it out but OMG, where to start?
This is one of the best texturizing products I tried. I use it after washing my hair or spritz it on my dry hair and dry it off with a blow-dryer. Gives instant volume and texture. If you love silky smooth hair this might not be for you since it makes your hair a bit more heavy an rough but easy to manage. If I go to bed with damp hair and this salt spray I wake up with actual curls.
Aussie Miracle Moist shampoo smells like bubblegum so I can't stop using it. I had it over 2 months and using it religiously but still 1/5 left. I think I'll have to stock up on it when I'm abroad.
And of course a Christmas themed Yankee candle. Snowflake Cookie is a new scent for 2013 and it smells really similar to Christmas Cookie. However it's a bit less buttery and more lemony-icing inspired. I love it, it's sweet and smells like real cookies.
My favorite discovery of the first mid-December is Yves Rocher.
I was invited to their event and I gladly participated since I didn't knew much about them. They never actually grab my attention with their store and packaging.
I'm definitely super happy with their perfumes and Monoi dry oil.
My favorite Christmas item/decoration is definitely Kinder Surprise Advent Calendar.
It's freakin' cute and filled with surprise eggs! Every day I get a new toy and chocolate to share, how amazing is that?! I got this lovely surprise from my sister- you can imagine how I screamed seeing it on my bed. So basically every day I get excited over opening a new number.
My favorite songs of the month are by far How Come You Don't Want Me and I Was A Fool by Tegan & Sara.
I've been pretty much obsessed with them in the past few months. After seeing them in Zagreb I fell in love with them even more. I even had a post-concert depression, lol. You should definitely check out their music, it's kind of indie-rock-60's but they always surprise with different styles of albums. Not to mention they are my style crush as well.
What's your favorite item of the December?
