L‘Oréal Professionnel Expert Pro Longer

 Today I am back with a hair related topic. As I am a person that really looks after their hair and tries to keep it looking healthy, I sometimes like to experiment with new products and see if they make a difference. The last time I was blogging properly *which was years ago* I had my natural dark brown hair. Now it is partly bleached and dyed pink because this was always my dream. I've had this hair colour for over two years now and I still love it. However, my hair was always matte and it had a very rough structure, so it was never silky smooth. I was trying so many different products and hacks to make my hair look shiny and beautiful but only during quarantine I found a new way to keep my hair in a healthier condition. If you are interested in my current hair routine, I will try and make another blog post on that topic. Today I received a package with the new L‘Oréal Professionnel Expert Pro Longer shampoo and concentrate and I was so excited. I've been wanting to try those

Nivea Rose Touch Cream

 Hello and welcome back to my blog! I was absent for a really, really long time. This was mostly due to the lack of time and also because of many other things going on that made me switch to Instagram . (Definitely follow me there to make sure you are up to date with my life!) Recently though, as being part of the NIVEA CLUB ÖSTERREICH I got the opportunity to test and review the new Rose Touch face cream by Nivea and therefore I thought, it would be much nicer to write a proper review here on this blog rather than just a quick review on my Instagram.  As I only just received the new Rose Touch cream by Nivea, I would like to test it thoroughly before writing more about it straight away. So, I hope that you will be back in a week or so to check out what I think about the new moisturising gel cream with organic rose water and hyaluron. It definitely sounds promising and especially now with the colder months approaching, I'd love to have a nice but lightweight face cream, that would

Empty Products - Face

Last week turned out to be busier than I expected, which is why I didn't manage to upload the last "empties" post. But now I am back with the face category. I threw away the Catrice Camouflage concealer because it was in the empties before pretty often, but I can say that it is one of the best drugstore concealers, sold at a good price. It does cover up some spots and redness as well as light undereye circles, but it could still be better. FACE CLEANSERS One of the best make-up removers I have tried in the last few months is the Garnier Skin Active micellar water, which consists of two "layers"- the micellar water and the oil, which makes it easier tot ake off waterproof make-up. I have tried all the other Garnier micellar waters before but unfortunately, they leave behind the worst smell on my skin, which I already mentioned in this post . When I found this one, I was so happy because it actually has a beautiful scent. It takes off my make-up prett

Empty Products - Body

After summing up the empty hair products, let's move over to the body stuff. There are again three subcategories and hopefully you'll find some helpful information. :) OTHER It's weird to start the post with the "other" products but I actually think that these two are the ones that might need more of a review than a shower gel. The first product I'll write about is the Sugar Crush Body Scrub by Soap and Glory and it is my absolute favourite! I can't even tell how much I loved this product and I remember when I got it, I was still in Scotland and then I was using it here in the old flat too and now in my new flat as well, so it really shows how much I used and loved it throughout this long time. I am a rather lazy person when it comes to skincare but since I have really dry skin all the time, I just need to use some scrub in the shower once in a few days to keep my skin looking somewhat similar to normal. This scrub has the most amazing, fresh

Today I want to start a short series of "Empties" as I have hoarded quite a lot of them now and even threw some away like my shampoo, which is still the same and has always been in my Empties before. Today's post will be about all the hair products I've used up over the last few months and the next days you will see empties from different categories like face and body products and make-up. CONDITIONERS The only two conditioners I have used up over the last few months are the L'Oreal Clay Conditioner and a keratin one by the Polish brand Joanna that I picked up when I ran out of conditioner when I visited Eryk back in September/October. Starting off with the clay conditioner by L'Oreal I have to say that it made my hair silky smooth and shiny and this was even the second one I got because I loved it so much. I was really impressed because usually my hair is kind of rough, it's never really smooth and it has never been but this conditioner re

Clarins Supra Volume Mascara & Instant Liner

Thanks to Douglas Austria, some months ago I got a new mascara and eyeliner from Clarins to try out and I was really excited. Although I had a mascara and eyeliner that I really liked at that point, I still wanted to give this set a try. The first thing that has to be said about these two products is: how beautiful are they??? I absolutely love the black and gold combo of the packaging. It looks so luxurious and it definitely is pretty to keep on display. The mascara has a thin, non-silicone wand, which brushes through my lashes very easily, applying a perfect amount of mascara. The lashes don't clump, they really get beautifully separated, they are voluminous and definitely much longer. And even after using this mascara for a few weeks, the consistency is still amazing, it hasn't dried out yet and works very well on my lashes. The eyeliner was a little bit difficult to get used to, as I only use gel liner and felt tip liners have always been a nightmare for me, s

Our Skiing Holiday

My uni holidays have started and I still didn't manage to blog because we went on a skiing holiday with my family and only came back yesterday. We went to Poland, near the Slovakian border and it was seriously in the middle of nowhere. Still, it was relaxing and so much fun. It was also Eryk's and mine first winter holiday together and we also had our 5th anniversary during that time, so it was pretty cool! Here are some photos of the trip- hope you like them :) Obviously, a skiing holiday meant a lot of snow and freezing temperatures, and although I was really scared of that, it wasn't that bad in the end. We went on a walk in the woods here and at some point I fell into the snow so deep that it went into my shoes and my feet were so sore from the cold. I had to take off my shoes and socks and get all the snow out. That part wasn't too cool, but I survived it. On the first evening and the second day we went to Zakopane, which is a well-known skiing area in P
