Life lately│Food, spring, and a little fashion

Hi everyone!
I've finally got around to writing this random kind of post again! I really like reading this type of posts on other people's blog or watching videos like this, and I haven't done this in a while, so I thought why not!

1. Studying Macroeconomics with the help of a giant Soy caramel frappuccino and some frozen raspberries | 2. Berry & hibiscus Refresha | 3. A yummy breakfast with my boyfriend on a day off | 4. Mac n' cheese in an American style diner with my Dad and my brother | 5. Home made sweet potato chips and tzatziki with some fresh veggies and balsamico dressing | 6. An afternoon snack with an ice-cold Somersby cider

1., 2., 3. Spring can be really lovely here in Prague.

1. I DIYed these trousers and thought they would go really well with my G'n'R tee | 2. One of my favourite clothing items | 3. And one of my favourite necklaces | 4. Bought my first pair of Doc Martens and wore them with my favourite tights! | 5. And I keep making flowercrowns and people seem to like them, yay!

So this is all for now, I hope you enjoyed this post! Let me know in the comments what you've been up to at the moment!

New In│The Body Shop & Topshop

Hi guys! How have you been? I'm preparing a little life-update-type-of post, but I wanted to throw this wee haul on my blog.

Almost everything in here is from The Body Shop. I used to shop there a lot but lately, I've been neglecting it a little, so I decided to change that! The Amazonian Wild Lily and Atlas Mountain Rose fragrance mists are gorgeous. The first mentioned was actually for my Grandma because she needed a new fragrance for travelling, and the rose one was for me because I love everything rose-scented, and this is so much like Roses de Chloé (which I love so dearly!).
Next up, I got a little facial brush. It's quite soft, but it might be a tiny bit too harsh for my sensitive skin. Well, time will tell if careful using will go unpunished!
The Vitamin E Cool BB Cream sample was a total miss; it's OBVIOUSLY too ark for me because I am the palest person in the world. On the other hand, the Tea Tree Pore Minimiser one I was really delighted to get to try! Inside the little pot, there is a Moringa Body Butter sample, which smells delightful like a sour fizzy candy to me!
Last, but not least, I got a Brows eyebrow pencil from Topshop in the shade Vicious Circle (I think) - a light, ashy brown shade, and I really like it so far, I've already used it a couple times.

So, this is all I got for now! Hope you like it. Let me know if you've tried some of these products and how you liked them!

See you later!

Wishlist│Fragrance edition

1. Moschino I Love Love│2. Chloé Roses de Chloé│3. Soap & Glory Original Pink│4. Marc Jacbos Honey

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!

New in│Drugstore mix + little info in Czech

Hi guys! I know I haven't been aruond much, but at first, I was busy with life /again/ and then the exams started so...you know how it goes. Anyway, here is a quite boring drugstore mini haul and I promise you that the next post will be more interesting!

I want to try to lighten my hair again after a year and something of not dying it (except for semi-permanent dyes) and I liked this colour plus it was on sale so I got two boxes for one prize, so I hope it's decent!
Also I needed some facial wash, hence the Balea one. I liked the pink packaging and it was pretty cheap, so if it doesn't turn out to be good for me, I'll just pass it on or throw it away without feeling all too guilty.
On to the Catrice products. I've really liked Catrice lately, so I decided to give these a try. I can always a good brow product and don't have any tinted brow gels in my collection, so I got this brown one. Waterproof eyeliner is a thing I use almost at daily basis and I wanted to switch from my regular Essence one (which is great but I need some change in my life, do you feel me?). The last product is a thing I've been on a hunt for like, forever. I tried it once now and it seems pretty good for using on my waterline, yay!
The last thing I got are those two flapjacks, originally, I didn't want to include them but the packaging is too cute!

Hope everyone's had great Christmas! Also, is you're in the middle of exam term /like me/, good luck to you all and see you later!

P.S. Pro holky, vyskytující se v Praze; v přízemí Debenhams na Václaváku je poměrně nově /alespoň podle mě.?/ Douglas, a hned u vchodu je hrozně nenápadnej regál Nyx, což jsem teda uz nás nikde jinde neviděla. Včera vypadal dost vybraně, ale pro mě to byl zajímavej objev :) A měli krásně světlý makeupy!
