Empties of 2017

Hello beauties!

Today's post is a little bit of a different take on the usual empties posts, as a matter of fact, I'm going to show you a whole bunch of used up products (these by no means are all the products I've used up during 2017, in fact I used up many more, but these are just the ones I've used up over the last couple of months and was keeping them for reviews and "Empties" posts).

I'm getting rid of all the clutter in my flat, that's how I decided to show them all in one post. Plus, it's the end of the year, the time is right to start fresh!

In 2018, I'll be showing you periodically my newest empties, not necessarily every month!

So this is the big pile of used up goodies, ranging from skin care, body care, hair care & so on...

I can't possibly write a mini review on each of these products in this post, but from this pile I did pick my most loved products that I'm certainly going to be repurchasing in the future and that I'd gladly recommend to a friend!

Balea Deodorant- Great product because it's aluminum free, yet it keeps you odor free the whole day long.

Nuxe Lip Balm Reve de Miel- I love it! I repurchased it many times already! It's a great nourishing treat for my lips, especially in the cold winter days. I like to use it overnight for soft and plump lips in the morning.

I Provenzali Line Seed Oil- I use this as a pre shampooing treatment and my hair loves it! It's one of the essential products in my hair care routine for years now!

Forsan Castor Oil- Another great oil for hair care, eyebrows, eyelashes and nails! This is another product I won't be without in 2018.

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer-  This is one of those cult drugstore products that definitely lives up to its hype! It's really good at what it does and pretty affordable! It's a part of my makeup collection for years.

Moroccan Oil Hair Treatment - Another great hair care product that my hair adores! I use it as a finishing touch and I'm always a little sad when I ran out of it!

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum- A product that is on the pricier side, but it's a great skin care product! It can be used before your daily moisturizer as a part of your evening routine, but also during the day if your skin is a bit drier and more needy. It's also great before makeup, as a sort of a primer.

Because of its price I'm not sure when, but at some point it'll go on my shopping list. It's very concentrated, a little goes a long way so it certainly lasts for months.

Caudalie Intense Moisture Rescue Cream - Food for my dry skin! I love Caudalie products, as I've already mentioned many times! I will have to repurchase this cream soon.

Lierac Eye Creams - are, in my opinion, certainly among the best ones in the market.  I'm always very pleased with them and my skin loves them. The under eye area is very delicate, so using the right products that are gentle enough is a must.

Ok guys, with that being said I'm going to wrap up my Empties posts for now!

I hope you enjoyed reading them and I hope they were helpful and interesting. When I accumulate some new empties, I'll be back with the post.

I suggest you to take a look at these reviews:

Tanceuticals CC Self Tanning Body Lotion Review

Hi guys!

You asked me what is my secret when self tanning, which products do I use and what are my favourites, so today I'm going to do a review about my favourite self tanning product!

As you guys know, I'm extremely pale skin, and as much as I try to embrace my natural skin colour, occasionally I like to have a nice tan!

I have to be careful when sunbathing (read: I don't), and I avoid tanning beds (they cause skin's premature ageing! I prefer to look pale, rather than old!), so self tanning products are the right choice for me!

I usually self tan in spring & summer (when we wear more revealing clothes), and then give my skin a break in autumn and winter time...

Over the years, I've tried a lot of different self tanning products, but one stood out to me the most!

It's the Tanceuticals CC (color + correct) self tanning body lotion (I have it in dark and it works just great!), made in the USA.

This luxurious CC self tanning lotion will give you a beautiful, natural and long lasting tan (without the sun exposure, or tanning beds!).

It won't streak, or leave you with a weird, orange colour.

It's infused with good ingredients such as Acai Berry, Mango butter and Vitamin E, so it'll moisturize, repair and firm your skin.

The best part is the scent!

It has got a fresh, coconut scent that completely eliminates that funky self tanner smell everyone dislikes! I never before came accross a self tanner that doesn't smell like a self tanner!

Another great thing is that the colour developes in a matter of minutes, you don't have to wait hours to see the results!

With the product, you'll get a tanning mit to help with application.

4.2 fl.oz / 125 ml bottle
+ tanning mit for easier application

This self tanning lotion is really easy to apply- blends easily and dries quickly (non-sticky).

For best results, be sure to exfoliate your skin in the shower before use!

Once completely dry, lightly apply product to skin using a circular motion to the areas you want to tan, starting with your feet and working your way up.

For drier areas like your elbows, knees, hands and feet, use very sparingly, and you can add your regular body lotion afterwards to keep those areas moisturized and to prevent colour build up!

If you don't use a mitt when applying this product, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after each use.

Once done, let dry a few minutes before putting on clothes or getting into bed.

Ideally, you should wait at least 7-8 hours before sweating or showering (overnight is best).

To maintain your gorgeous tan, use once or twice a week, and make sure to moisturize every day to extend it.

And now, what a lot of you have asked me was to show you the actual results...how it works on my skin...so here it is! Are you ready...??

I love this self tanner also because it's packed full with good ingredients, such as :

acacia decurrens/jojoba/sunflower seed wax/aloe vera leaf juice/vitamin E/rose hip seed extract/pomegranate extract/acai berry fruit extract/grape seed oil/sweet almond oil/macadamia seed oil/shea butter/cocoa seed butter/mango seed butter...

plus, when you take into consideration this aaaamazing coconut scent, who could resist to a product like that?? :)

I hope this was helpful!

Lijep pozdrav!

Danas vam predstavljam jedan od svojih omiljenih, ako ne i najomiljeniji proizvod za samotamnjenje, a radi se o Tanceuticals CC losionu, koji je proizveden u SAD-u.

Ja sam jako blijede puti, to vec znate...iako se vecinu vremena osijecam dobro u vlastitoj kozi, ponekad se volim vidjeti sa lijepim "preplanulim" tenom.

Pogotovo kada se radi o nekim posebnim prilikama, ili proljetno-ljetnim mjesecima, kada nosimo odjecu koja vise otkriva :)

Buduci da mi suncanje slabo ide od ruke, a solarije izbjegavam od 26 godine (draze mi je da mi koza izgleda bijela kao jogurt, nego stara, hmmm), losioni za samotamnjenje moji su prijatelji!

Tijekom godina, dosta sam ih vec isprobala, od high-end, skupljih, do jeftinijih koji se mogu pronaci u svakoj drogeriji pa i u supermarketu.

Jedini koji me zaista odusevio jest Tanceuticals!

Evo, u par tocki i zbog cega:

• Daje vam instantnu prekrasnu boju, koja djeluje vrlo prirodno (ne ostavlja cudne tragove na kozi, niti cete izgledati narancasto!)
• Vrlo je jednostavan za nanosenje (lijepo se upija u kozu, brzo se susi, nije ljepljiv, niti mastan!)
• Odlicno mirisi- na kokos! To je jedna kvaliteta koju jos nisam srela kod niti jednog proizvoda za samotamnjenje...svi oni, vise manje, ostavljaju na kozi neki cudan miris karakteristican proizvodima za samotamnjenje...ali ne i Tanceuticals! Mogla bih ga pojesti koliko dobro mirisi, hihi!
• Dugotrajna boja (trajati ce vam 5 do 7 dana, a dovoljno je jedanput-dvaput tjedno nanijeti ga i izmedju aplikacija normalno hranite kozu vasim omiljenim losionom za tijelo.)
• Prepun je prirodnih sastojaka koji se brinu o vasoj kozi (u engleskom tekstu gore sam ispisala vecinu sastojaka, ali neki od njih koje bih rado izdvojila su vitamin E, maslac manga, ekstrakt voca Acai Berry itd.)

Iz slicica koje sam vam prilozila mozete i sami zakljuciti da je rezultat odlican (ja ga imam u nijansi "dark" ).

Do iduceg posta, saljem vam pusu iz Italije,

June Beauty Favourites!

Pusa svima!

Prije nego sto odem na (zasluzeni) godisnji odmor, pripremila sam vam jos jedan video + blog post na hrvatskom jeziku :)

Ukoliko zelite saznati koje proizvode sam najvise voljela koristiti tijekom proslog mjeseca i sto vam to preporucam, pogledajte moj "June Beauty Favourites" video, ovdje:

U videu sam se dotakla puno proizvoda koji su me "uveseljavali" tijekom proteklih mjeseci :)

Za njih smatram da su jako dobri proizvodi, odlicne kvalitete i morala sam ih podijeliti sa vama!

Evo par screenshots-a iz mog novog videa...

U ovom videu preporucila sam vam dosta proizvoda od Kiko make up Milano branda, kojeg osobno jaaako volim!
Ovdje vam govorim o Mat efekt ruzu za usne, prekrasne koraljne bolje, koji je jako pigmentiran, dugotrajan i iznenadjujuce hidratantan za mat ruz za usne!

Kiko hidratantna kremica za lice, odlicna je u ovo vruce ljetno vrijeme!

Bez Phyto 9 hidratantne kremice za njegu kose ne mogu!

Nedavno sam otkrila ovaj "hot pink" Shaka kistic za nanosenje sjenila i odusevila se njegovom kvalitetom!

Sve proizvode sam detaljno navela u videu!

Ukoliko se odlucite isprobati neke od ovih proizvoda koje sam vam preporucila, javite mi kako su vam se svidjeli!

Koji su vasi trenutni favoriti?

Nadam se da svi uzivate u ljetu, ja uskoro krecem na godisnji odmor i vjerujem da cu si uzeti mali predah od bloga (ali ne zbog toga sto smatram da mi predah od bloga treba, vec zbog internet linije- vidjet cemo kako ce funkcionirati!)

No, nase druzenje se nastavlja na facebooku! Stoga me potrazite tamo ukoliko niste jos, i posaljite friend request, biti ce mi jako drago i ovo ljeto druziti se sa vama! :)

Velika pusa iz suncane Italije!

xoxo, S.
