Best of 2013

Hello everyone and Happy 2014!

I know I'm a little late with this post, but I just wanted to share with you my best moments, products, clothes... of 2013


Craziest thing I’ve done in 2013: Travel to Seoul to go to K.Will’s Christmas Concert (I had been wanting to go to Seoul for a long time, but the concert is what actually pulled the trigger ;>)
 
Best moments of 2013:
All the traveling. Some of it was for bussiness, some for pleasure. Regardless of the reason for those trips, I had a lot of fun in every single one of them.

Best Skincare/Makeup of 2013: Those are the products I liked or used the most in 2013. Though I bought a lot of skincare and some makeup items when I was in Seoul this Christmas, I haven’t opened/used the vast majority of them. Therefore, I cannot rate them yet.

The Body Shop's Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing ButterI just love this stuff. I have been using this product since August and I’m almost half way through my second tin. It removes makeup wonderfully and cleans my skin at the same time without leaving a tight or oily feeling afterwards.


Sephora’s face cleansing “brush”. Perfect for an everyday mild exfoliation and massage. To be used in conjunction with your cleanser.


The Face Shop's Aqua UV Color Control Cream. Once I learned how to apply it properly to achieve that no makeup make up look (I spray my face with a face mist before applying this CC cream with the sponge in a patting motion) this has been my favorite CC cream of the two CC creams I tried this year. It’s got a medium coverage that’s buildable to a medium-high coverage.


Essence's Gel tint. Non-sticky jelly-textured lip and cheek stain that does not dry out your lips. The pigmentation is very decent and the color lasts for hours. You can also use this on your eyelids. I got them in color 03 flashy apricot and 04 pink exposed.


Astor Soft Sensation Lipcolor Butter. Color, lip balm and gloss all in one product. The shade I bought (008 Hugh Me) goes well with any look and it looks quite  flattening on me. It has never left my purse since I got it.



Shara Shara's I Wanna Eyebrow Cake. I bought this while I was in Seoul. I got color number 2 Soft Brown. This powder is waterproof, it does not smudge, stays on for hours and it looks very natural. You can mix both colors for the perfect color match.


Best Clothes/accessories of 2013: These items might not have been bought in 2013 but they are the ones I wore the most last year.
Little black bag. I bought this bag for a wedding four years ago. I started wearing it regularly in 2012 but I have been wearing it almost non-stop in 2013. It was also the bag I carried almost every time I traveled. Unfortunately, it started peeling off like a lizard while I was in Seoul so, even though I loved it, it was time to say goodbye.


Platform sneakers. Sooo comfortable! I bought them in spring time and I don’t regret it!


Best drink of 2013

Gold Kili Matcha Ginger Latte. This is soo adictive... It's a matcha powder drink with a touch of ginger. It's become my favourite relaxing afternoon and weekend drink. I drink this once or twice a week.



Dunkin' Donuts Hot Sweet Potato Latte. I tasted this while I was in Seoul and I liked it so much that I decided to include it as one of the best drinks I discovered in 2013. I drank as many as I could because I knew I would not find this back home. T_T



Miscelaneous:

Lékué cooking case. I got this as a present for my birthday. It was a special edition box that came with a cooking book and a spatula. Cooking made easy, fast, clean and healthy.


And those were my favourite things of 2013. What were yours?
Please let me know if you are interested in any of this products and want me to review it for you.

Take care!

Beauty favourites of July and August 2013

¡Hi, there!

Better late than never, that's what they say. And here I am- back with some beauty favourites from July and August.



In no particular order:

1. UniqOne - All In One Hair Treatment. 150ml


It detangles my mane, tames the frizz, leaves my hair soft and it does not weigh my hair down. I don't know how much it costs because it was a gift from a friend, but I think it's about 14 or 15€.

2. Detangling & Shampoo Brush
I got it because of its cute heart shape. It only costed 1,50€ at Primark. And I love it! It detangles without pulling the hair and my hair lasts clean for longer if I massage my scalp with this brush when shampooing.

3. L'Orèal Paris - Skin perfection. 3 in 1Purifying Micellar Solution 200ml


It takes away even the most stubborn waterproof eye makeup and lip tint without tugging. Just wet a cotton pad with the solution, place it on the eyelids and lashes or the lips for 5 seconds and gently slide the pad away. To take the rest of your makeup off, simply swipe the cotton pad in soft circular motions across your face. It does not irritate my eyes, it's not sticky and it doesn't leave my skin feeling tight. In fact, my skin feels clean and refreshed after using this product to take my makeup off.
It costed 6 € at the drugstore and it lasted me for nearly three months.
If there's one thing they need to improve, it would be the packaging: I hate my cotton pad touching the surface of the bottle. I just don't think that's the most hygienic thing in the world. And then, after you pour the sollution into the pad, the whole surface of the bottle is wet so, there goes a bit of product, unused, everytime.


4. Astor Soft Sensation Lipcolor Butter


A 3 in 1 lip product. I don't dare using this on my cheeks, like I do with most of my lip products, because it's too creamy and shiny, but I just love it on my lips. It hydrates my lips and gives them a touch of color with a glossy finnish. I carry it on my bag ever since I bought it and I have been using it almost everyday. Besides, I find that the shade I got (008 Hug Me) compliments my natural lip color and goes basically with everything. Click here if you want to see my review on the hour on this product.

And, that would be all for now from my side. What about you? Have you tried any of those products? What did you think of them? What products made it to your August favourites?

See you in my next post. ♥Take care!♥
