❅ Winterlicious Tag ❅

Hey guys! I'm really sorry I haven't posted in so long, I've been super busy lately, but anyways, today I'm doing the Winterlicious tag. I hope you enjoy it!

 

 

 

1) Favorite Winter Nail Polish? I don't know if I already told you this, but my mom is allergic to the main component of nail polish, wich is really sad. That's why I never wear it.
2) Favorite Winter lip product? I love the Labello Fruity shine lipbalm, because it's really mositurizing, great for winter chapped lips, and also it give a gorgeous red tint and pretty glow to your lips, plus it smells like cherries and is really cheap! What else can you ask for?
3) Most worn Winter clothing piece? Cableknit sweaters are my favourite piece for the chilly days, I love cream coloured ones!
4) Most worn Winter accessory? This is really funny but I love cute socks in the winter. Even though you can't see them, I know they're there and there's something really festive about it. :)
5) Favorite winter scent/candle? In the winter, my favourite scent is vanilla, I really love anything vanilla, specially my candles, my sephora creamy body wash and my DKNY creamy merengue perfume is lovely.
6) Favorite Winter beverage? Hot cocoa, of course!
7) All time favorite Christmas/Holiday movie? I've seriously watched Home Alone like 30 times, I watch it every year over and over. I already know what's gonna happen but I still laugh like it's the first time, it's so cute!
8) Favorite Christmas/Holiday song? Yes, I listen to Mariah Carry all through out christmas, it's so funny. But now serisouly, I just love the classics, there's something so festive about them. The one I alays sing along to is Let it snow.
9) Favorite Holiday food/treat? Gingerbread cookies and Ferrero Rocher. I love the chocolate itself but I mainly get it because it's so chic and the fact that it's only sold in winter makes me crave it even more!
10) What is your favorite Christmas Decoration this year? I haven't put up my decorations yet, but my favourite part are the lights in the christmas tree, I feel like it isn't complete without them.
11) What's at the top of your Christmas list? Today I bought a lovely new perfume, but I'll only open it in the christmas eve. It's Lulu Rose but Lulu Castagnette. It's really funny because my name is louise so that's cute, and the scent is so perfect. I'm not great at describing scents, but there's a lot of floral in it, mainly roses. Also the bottle is beautiful!
12) What are your plans for the holidays this year? Just the traditional, cosy christmas with all my family. I just love family time, we play fun games all night and listen to christmas music, watch like a thousand movies and eat desserts until midnight, and then we open the presents. I just love christmas so much!

 

Clinique 3 Step Sistem- First Impressions ♥

Hey guys! So for my birthday I recieved the Clinique 3 Step Sistem, and  I've been wanting to try it since then. I only started to use it this month, but I wanted to share my first impressions with you guys, so here they are!

 

So the day I bought this, I went to the Clinique counter and asked the lady if she could recommend me some good skincare products for young, blemish prone skin. There are 3 different ranges, for the different skin types. She recommended number 2 for me, wich is dry to combination skin, and then she tried it on me. If you're considering buying this sistem, I think you should ask the people there to recommend what they think it's best, and maybe trying it on before purchasing.

Before we start, none of the products broke me out, they're all great quality. My only problem with them is the fact that they're unfragranced. I guess that's good for sensitive skin tho.

 

 

The sistem includes a cleanser, toner and mositurizer. I haven't used the cleanser a lot, but I did like it. The packaging is nice, the gel texture is really gentle yet it depply cleans my skin, and leaves it fresh and soft. The toner is very clarifying. I wouldn' recommend using it morning and night, it may dry out your skin. It's really good if you've been out all day, and you have a lot of build up on your skin. This will reduce break outs. Finally, there's the moisturizer wich is probably my favourite part. It leaves my skin soft and matte, wich I love. The only down side of it is the package- it's supper pretty but not very practical, because there isn't a pump.

 

So these are my first impressions. I loved the overall results, and I will definatly reprurchase these products. I totally recommend these if you want healthy, good looking skin. Hope it was helpfull! ♥♥♥

Tag- Shopping my stash ♥

Hey guys! So today I'm doing the Shopping my stash Tag! I thought it was a really interesting one, bacause this internet beauty comunnity can be tricky and lead you into buying too many products, and a lot of them you don't even get to use that much. So in this tag you basicly go searching for products you already have in your stash and that you forgot about, and just give them some use. I think this is really cool, it's a cheap and fun way to try new products, plus you find a lot of good stuff you didn't even know you had. So I put together some products I found in my stash- skincare, body care and fragrance. In a couple of weeks I will post a review, and let you know my first impressions on these goodies. I hope you like this! ♥

 

 

 

Clinique Three Step Sistem Skincare Kit I know what you're thinking, it's praticly a crime to have these products and not use them! I actually got them for my birthday in July, but I decided to store them away, and only open them up after using up my current products. The truth is I forgot about it! The other day I the box them and decided to give it a try... I was realy impressed with everything!

 

Agatha Ruiz de La Prada Kiwi Lip Balm I re-descovered these babies this week, and posted a review. I decided to include kiwi anyways, because it's my favourite and it's praticly new.

 

Johnson's Baby Fraiche Cologne The other day I was searching for toothpaste and bumped into this. I had no idea I had this, it was one of those great surprises. I actually love baby colognes, and I really like this one!

Hilfiger by Tommy Hilfiger Someone gave me this perfume about a year ago, and I gave it good use, but I always felt the fragrance was too strong for me, so I just put it away. Maybe it's the perfume, maybe it's me, but I'm loving it now!

Peach Moisturizing Soap by St Michael The other day I was looking for some tights and I found this inthe back of the drawer. I've never seen this in my life, I had no idea this was in my house! My mom said it came in a gift set but she never used it so she threw it in there. The point is she forgot to take off the package, so the scent never spread. The soap still smells really nice and it seemed really creamy, so I'm going to use it now.

So this is what I found in my stash, I hope you liked this and I want all of you reading this to go and search for some stuff in your house, you might just get lucky! ♥

 

 

 

Aghata Ruiz de La Prada Lip Balms- Review ♥

Hey guys! So I'm doing a review for you today and I'm really excited. Before you start reading, I think you shoul put on Good Time by Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen, just a fun song to get you in the mood! So anyways, the colder days are coming up, and so are thedry, falkey chapped lips. Instead of getting just vaseline or chapstick, why don't you give yourself a treat? These lipbalms are made o petrolium gelly (vaseline) as well, but they smell better and come in super cute containers, so I like to throw them in bag and apply them through out the day.

So on to the actual review, these are described as perfumed vaseline, so the formulation is basicly the same wich I quite like. So I have papaya, passion fruit, tutti fruti, cherry and kiwi. Starting with papaya, it has a peachy colour that I like, but the scent isn't very special to me. I like it tho, I just keep it in my bathroom and apply it after I wash my face or shower. The passion fruit one is actually the only one I'm disapointed with... I love the scent but it's blue! Why would someone make blue lip balm? The colour shows up on the lips so I only wear it around the house or before bed. Tutti fruti is really good, smells very tropical and it's clear so it looks good on the lips. This one isn't with me at the moment, my mom keeps it in next to her bed and she loves ito put it on before she goes to sleep. Then I have cherry wich I love! It smells very sweet, just like cherries, and it has a pretty pink tint to it wich I think is really retty. Finally, we have my favourite, kiwi! I just love the melon-kiwi scent it has, it's super refreshing! It does have a pale green tint but it shows up sheer so you don't have to worry about it. I always have this one in my bag!

 

I did make some negative comments. However, I love these lipbalms and I would recommend any of them, just has a fun little way to treat yourself, or even as a gift, since Christmas is comming up. So if you ever find these lip balms, just give them a try, and who knows, you might love them! Hope you enjoyed! ♥♥♥

More empties! ♥♥♥

Hey guys! So the last time I did an empties post I got a lot of views so it means it's good for my blog. Also it's great to feel like I'm giving some use to this stuff, some of it has been sitting in my bathroom for ages! So anyways, enjoy! ♥

 

 

Nivea After Sun Refreshing Lotion with Aloe I After sun lotion is a super important step in my summer routine because it not only moisturizes and calms any sunburns, it helps my natural tan last longer. Every year I buy this same nivea one because I love the scent. I actually used up two bottles this time, one spray and one cream. I did find the cream one more moisturzing but I loved both. Plus I love the aloe scent it has! Would I repurchase this product? Yes, I will next summer.

 

Corine de Farme Ultra- Nourishing Body Lotion I love yummy scented lotions, but I always need to have one very basic yet nourishing one, for those days when I plan to use way to much perfume :) This is a great drugstore one, and just has a subtle scent. It's 97% natural wich is great, and it's aproppriate for sensitive skin. Would I repurchase this product? Yes, since it's so affordable and easy to find.

 

Letibalm Lips and Nose Repairing Balm This is one of those products that has been in my bathroom for years. My mom bought this and I never payd attention to it, probably because of the scent. It's not very pleasent at all, it just smells like a hospital to me. But the other day I was having one of those days when my lips are severly chaped and there's no lipbalm that will solve the problem. I though of it and tried on some during the night. The next morning the chaped, flacky lips were gone! I just used up the whole thing and loved it. Would I repurchase this product? Yes, I probably will!

 

Palmolive Naturals Milk and Honey Body Wash You guys are probably tired of this product but I just keep mentioning this in all my posts! I used up another bottle this week. It's just the perfect body wash- it cleans gently, nourishes, smells amazingy like honey, is easy to find, cheap and easy to use. Love this! Would I repurchase this product? Of course, I already have!

 

Garnier Ultra Suave cherry and almond de-tangling mist A few months ago I was just grocery shopping and found this on discount. I picked it up because I loved the cherry scent and also I'm familiar with this range and love most of the products. I just wasn't expecting to love it so much! De-tangling my hair can be super time consuming, but this makes my life so much easier! Also it reduces the frizz and turns my curls into these lovely, beach babe waves that I love, plus it smells amazing! Would I repurchase this product? Sure, I already have.

 

Herbal Essences Smooth and Soft Conditioner Again, I have an Herbal Essences Conditioner. This time I have the smooth and soft one. It has mandarin extracts so it's a very tropical scent, so it's really good. This is really good for nourishing my hair, and it's good to use in the morning because I don't fell the need to leave it in and wait, I can rinse it off imediatly and it will work just fine. Would I repurchase this product? I bought a L'oreal Elvive one for a change, but I'm pretty sure I will come back to this one in the future.

 

Nivea Dry Comfort Deodorant This is kind of a boring product, but I wanted to include it because it does the job really well. It has a very subtle, laundry scent so you won't have to wory about it, it smells really nice! Also it doesn't leave any sweat stains wich is one of the main worries! Finally it's aproppriate for sensitive skin, it won't cause you any alergies. So if you're looking for a nice deodorant this would be a good, cheap choise. Would I repurchase this product? I just bought Dove Beauty Finish but I might go back to it in the future.

 

Rituals Zensation Foaming shower gel This is another of the foaming shower gels form Rituals, my mom got this for her birthday and she let me use it. I love it how a tiny amount of gel lathers up into a super gentle foam, it's a great product! This one has rice and cherry blossom extracts. It's not a bad scent but it's really not that special for me. Would I repurchase this product? Yes, but not int this particular scent. If you want to try it I would recommend the Fuiyama scent, wich in my opinion is better, but it's up to you!

 

So I hope you enjoyed!

Collective Beauty Haul- Drugstore + Sephora goodie ♥

 

Hey guys! So today I have a little beauty haul, hope you like this!

 

L'oreal Elvive Re-nutrition Softening Conditioner

I have been using Herbal Essences Conditioners for over two years now, I thought it would be nice to try out some new stuff. I actually have the deep conditioning version of this and I like the scent and how it leaves my hair really soft, so I decided to get the regular version and see how it goes.

 

Sephora Vanilla Creamy Body Wash

This is the only non-drugstore thing I got, but it's so nice! It really moisturizes my skin and leaves it soft, plus the vanilla scent of it is delicious!

 

Palmolive Naturals Milk and Honey Body Wash

I'm sure you've seen this in my posts, this is my all time favourite body wahs. It moisturizes and  gently cleans my skin, plus it smells great!

 

Garnier Ultra Suave cherry and almond de-tangling mist

 I used up a whole bottle of this and had to repurchase. This thing is a life saver! It saves me so much time in the morning. I just spritz some of this, comb through my hair and this leaves it soft and good smelling, like cherries, and of course without any knots!

 

Labello Fruity Shine Tinted Lipbalm

I've always wanted this lipbalm. It smells amazingly like cherries, conditions lips and gives them the perfect amount of shimmer and colour. It leaves them looking full and rosy, yet natural, perfect for school!

 

Dove Beauty Finish

Is it weird that I'm super excited over a deodorant? Because I really am, I can't wait to try it. I've always used nivea, and just recently gone throught Nivea Dry Comfort. This time I decided to try Dove, just for a change. Also this deodorant has 1/4 of moisturizer to leave your skin soft after shaving. And of course I love the scent, it's kind of floral, really nice.

 

Dove Indulgent Nourishment Body Lotion

I just recently used up all my lotions at once, so I had to buy a new one. This one caught my eye because it has shea butter, so I semlled it and it's so good, I had to pick it up!

 

So that's it, hope you liked it! xx

♥ September Favourites ♥

DKNY Delicious Creamy Merengue So my first favouirte has been this DKNY perfume, I believe it's called Creamy Merengue and it's a shame this is Limited Edition because it's probably my all time favourite perfume. It's vanilla scented but with a hint of lemon. It's the perfect mix between fresh and sweet, and it's a great girly scent. Love it!

Labello Soft Rose and Unlimited Lipgloss So my second and third favourites are lip products and I actually love the way they look together. First I have the Labello Soft Rose, it's a super creamy and moisturizing balm with a hint of pink and some shimmer. On top I wear the Kiko Cosmetics Unlimited Lipgloss, in the shade 04 satin rose. This is the perfect lip combo, it looks girly and innocent but flirty ate the same time. Perfect for school!

I have been loving the Sephora Creamy Body Wash. It's super moisturizing and it smells amazing, it's vanilla scented, yummy! Then I have two Clarins skincare products. I the Daily Energizer Cleansing Gel. It lathers up nicely and I love that it's super refreshing. Also the moringa scent is amazing. I love using it in the shower. I also love the Daily Energizing Toner. I use in the morning since it has this fresh, wake you up boosting feeling, also it closes your pores. At night it removes all the impurities and build up in your skin. This helps a lot with acne, my skin has got a lot better.

Listerine Zero This is a sample of Listerine Zero. I actually love it because it has the same tingling feeling that regular listerine has, but it's soft mint so it's a little bit more gentle.

Candles I have also been loving both these IKEA candles. They were on sale so I got them. The brown one is apple and cinnamon ans the cream one is a vanillary, desert scent. These are so yummy, I love them!

Bows Another favourite have been little bows for my hair. The pink one with little polka dots is from Bijou Brigitte, and the blue one I actually made it myself. I may do a little DIY on it!

 

Cute socks Finally I have been loving cute socks. These are navy blue with flowers and they're from womens secret. I think little things like this are really cosy and fun.
