Hi everyone!

This is just a quick post about what scents have caught my nose attention lately.
Roses de Chloé
was love at first smell. Beautiful, light, feminine, fragile and floral. I Love Love was my first high-end perfume when I was, like, 16? I can't even remember! But it's a fun, interesting scent unlike any other, in my opinion! I recently came across some Soap & Glory products and fell in love with the Original Pink scent, so of course I would love to have it as a perfume! Such a shame I need to travel (at least) to Germany to get my hands on it, though. And last, but not least; Honey is such fun scent, unique and light and so nice!

What are your favourite scents? Do we have any in common?
Hope you're all having a nice Friday!

Empties│January

Hi everyone!

Today I'm going to talk a little about some used up products that have gathered over the past couple weeks.


The first photo is 'Face products'. The Alverde facial wash cream is aimed at combination/oily skin and it was alright but a little bit drying. I quite liked it but won't repurchase, as I've already bought different facial washes to try out. I only really bought the L'Oreal Sublime Soft micellar water because I had like, 20 or 30% off on it and I was on a tight budget, and again, it was an okay product, but I found out it smelled really weird after applying it on my face, and as I don't like L'Oreal, I won't be repurchasing. Essence Pureskin nose strips, on the other hand, are quite a staple for me. Not really sure if this whole nose strips business is really working that much, but I certainly like them better than eg. the Nivea ones. The Sans Soucis Aqua Benefits 24h moisturizer was a favourite of mine. It feels nice, lightweight but still moisturizing and it didn't irritate my skin at all. I got it in a beautybox and the only reason I won't be repurchasing is the price, unfortunately. The Body Shop camomile gentle eye make up remover was a whole different case. It was burning in my eyes when I used it and made them all red. I had to stop using it and eventually I just had to throw it away.

Now onto the 'Other products'. I really liked Sephora's daily makeup brush cleanser, and I might be repurchasing but I'd prefer to find a cruelty free alternative. I got the Aussie 3 Minute Miracle sample from my Dad while I was in Germany at his place, and really liked what it did to my hair. I might buy the full-sized bottle in the future. Marks & Spencer is a great place to buy travel-sized stuff to put in your bag, and these Citrus zest hand wipes were..well, great. I got the miniature size of Soap & Glory's The Righteous Butter in a giftset I bought in German Douglas (as you can't get the brand in The Czech Rep) and I love the whole set, so no surprise I loved this thingie too. It smells just perfect and feels really moisturizing! Would repurchase right away.

So these were my empties, hope you liked this post. Have a great day, lovelies!
