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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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 products for quite some time now and somehow never got round to it. This afternoon I went for a quick swim and afterwards had to obviously wash my hair, so I got to use this new line.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTm2DKvU32sq0QgQoNEMjjL0S3jVAWb18AgZoNpV0jiEddTrDiNzCzq3rv1AGtomUJ3saij4Q_fxe4GDcN4xXT9lPrPJDNNh_K5GzFpmFEaoJtPsT6emAD_B1tD4fUTNYInS_Anc3yfLM/s2048/IMG_20201024_151906.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTm2DKvU32sq0QgQoNEMjjL0S3jVAWb18AgZoNpV0jiEddTrDiNzCzq3rv1AGtomUJ3saij4Q_fxe4GDcN4xXT9lPrPJDNNh_K5GzFpmFEaoJtPsT6emAD_B1tD4fUTNYInS_Anc3yfLM/s320/IMG_20201024_151906.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I first washed my hair with the <a href="https://www.hairtrader.at/haarprodukte/shampoo-und-pflege/3443/expert-pro-longer-shampoo-300ml" target="_blank">shampoo</a> that helps restore your damaged hair. Thanks to the special filler and amino acid, the shampoo strengthens your lengths and makes the ends thicker. My ends are much thinner than the top and middle of my hair so this made me very curious.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I then applied my regular conditioner to give my hair some extra nutrients, rinsed it off and then I used some of the <a href="https://www.hairtrader.at/haarprodukte/shampoo-und-pflege/3441/expert-pro-longer-concentrat-400ml" target="_blank">concentrate </a>on my ends and I also took it up a bit higher. Again, this has to be rinsed out well and then I went over to blow drying my hair after some time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Another way to use this set is to apply the concentrate first, leave it in for 5 minutes, rinse it off and then use shampoo to cleanse the scalp and hair.

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 <a href="https://Instagram.com/livialinette" target="_blank">Instagram</a>. (Definitely follow me there to make sure you are up to date with my life!)</p><p>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. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNeDCyc9owJWv_KNM3aXBZUIZoVdJQYWqH89Vwp22H8eLuHcFZFg7Zhp-30cISXcXnZTZDW6XIxGYtq9XHOnUB1d06pS4XmtDA1C9vNcHqB969J0EM35B69zxUm6dsLlDH0T5oui-RXD4/s2048/IMG_20201023_190257.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNeDCyc9owJWv_KNM3aXBZUIZoVdJQYWqH89Vwp22H8eLuHcFZFg7Zhp-30cISXcXnZTZDW6XIxGYtq9XHOnUB1d06pS4XmtDA1C9vNcHqB969J0EM35B69zxUm6dsLlDH0T5oui-RXD4/s320/IMG_20201023_190257.jpg" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p>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.

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.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
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.</div>

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 <a href="http://livialinette.blogspot.co.at/2014/10/garnier-micellar-cleansing-water-review.html">this post</a>. When I found this one, I was so happy because it actually has a beautiful scent. It takes off my make-up pretty easily without having to violently rub it off my skin, but the only thing I don't like about it is that it leaves a greasy film on your face and I just have to wipe it off afterwards because I can't deal with it. Still, this was now my fourth bottle I think, maybe even fifth tbh. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Lirene face cleaser, I got because I wanted something to remove the dirt off my face on days where I don't wear make-up and don't want to use the greasy Garnier micellar water.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since the Lirene cleanser is made for oily skin I thought it would be perfect for me but I thought it was quite an average product. I also believe that it made my skin dry out a bit, which again was not the best thing but well. I will not repurchase it as at the moment I have a better alternative, but it was also not the worst face cleanser in the world. It did take off the sebum and dirt off quickly and my face felt fresh after using it, so I guess it did its job.</div>

I was using these 3 mascaras over the last 6 months or so and I have to say that they are by far the best drugstore mascaras I've ever tried. When I got the two Maybelline mascaras, the Colossal Volum' Express and the Colossal Go Extreme, I wrote about them <a href="http://livialinette.blogspot.co.at/2016/05/new-in-mascara.html">here</a> already. At first I did not really expect much but I quickly started loving them! Next time I won't be able to pick a new mascara at the drugstore, I will go for one of these two, because they did make my lashes thick and long, my lashes were not clumped together and the mascara didn't crumble off at the end of the day. Plus it is just around 10 Euros, which is definitely worth a try.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And now over to my favourite drugstore mascara that I keep repurchasing for years now. The Rimmel Scandaleyes Lycraflex mascara is also lengthening and a bit volumising too, but the best thing is that it keeps my lashes up all day long, which other mascaras usually don't do. The wand is very thick though and people with smaller eyes or vey short lashes might find it difficult to use it without getting the mascara all over the eyes. The good thing about this mascara that whenever I get it in Poland, it is just so cheap and it's hardly ever sold out, but the bad thing is that Rimmel is not available in Austria, which is why I always have to stock up on the mascara when I am in Poland. ( Or I also got it in the UK back when I still lived there)</div>

There are again three subcategories and hopefully you'll find some helpful information. :)<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
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.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
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.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
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 and zingy lemon smell that will definitely leave your whole house smelling of it. The consistency is quite watery but the rough sugar and scrub particles definitely do their job. It takes you seconds to freshen up your body thanks to this scrub as it's so easy to use and it really works wonders within seconds! And this is also the reason why I was really devastated once I used it all up because we don't have Soap&Glory in Vienna ( apart from one drugstore that only has a few products that are ridiculously expensive). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The second product is a shaving gel by Balea and OMG I love it! I first discovered it in summer when I needed a new shower gel for a quick getaway and since that time I already repurchased it twice. It smells nice and fruity, it's pink, the gel foams up within seconds and your skin is left silky smooth after shaving. It's brilliant- and what's even better- it's very cheap! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I used up the Fa Coconut Water shower gel quite some time ago but I still can't get over its beautiful smell. I instantly fell in love with it when I smelt it in the shop, so I just had to buy it and I also got another one that I haven't used yet because I really have way too much shower gel stocked up. But what I can say is that the Coconut Water shower gel not only looks beautiful, but also leaves a beautiful smell on your skin, your skin feels hydrated and smooth and that's all you want! Plus I heard that Fa is currently collecting empty bottles in the drugstore called DM, in order to create new slides for children. Looks like I will have to go and "donate" this one. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The other shower gel is by the brand Le Petit Marseillais, which I am totally obsessed about! In my opinion this regenerating shower oil ( it's actually called oil and not gel) looks so professional and tempting and this is obviously why I couldn't resist trying it out. Also, the fact that this is more of an oil, made me think that it would be the perfect solution to my dry, flaky skin. The product definitely had more of a creamy consistency and it felt good on my skin but the scent was kind of standard to me and I also did not see any amazing results that I expected. To sum up I would say that it was a nice product to try out but it was more of a standard shower product rather than a really pampering, special one.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since I like peaches, I thought this Fa deodorant would be one of my favourites, but I have to say that I was not too impressed because it was pretty liquid and took quite some time to dry, which is not cool if you don't have much time in the morning. The smell was also not as nice as I thought it would be, so again, I'd call it just a normal deodorant, that I will not repurchase because I've had better ones before.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And the last product for today is my favourite perfume by Moschino,- Chic Petals. This is already like my fourth bottle and I am still in love with it. I love the cool and quirky design, the sweet scent that is more grown-up than the sweet scents I used to wear some years ago. It smells so luxurious and I always get compliments when I wear it, so I guess it really is a nice one to try.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is a teeny bit on the pricier side but not overly expensive, which is great, plus it also comes in a few sizes, which is always great. </div>

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.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
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.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
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 really helped a lot and I will definitely repurchase it. I haven't tried the shampoo though that goes with it, so I can't tell if it is any good.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Polish conditioner was like I said before an emergency purchase and since I didn't want a huge bottle of conditioner I just went for it because it looked hndy and I've heard quite a few good things about the brand Joanna and i thought it would be fine. The first thing that really annoyed me was the consistency- it was pretty much liquid and every time I wanted to get some of the conditioner out of the tube, it would just shoot out portions that would fill my whole hands and most of it just ended straight in the bath tub rather than in my hair. On top of that, I could also not tell at all if it did anything to my hair or not. I'm pretty sure I would have the same effects if I didn't use it at all. I liked the professional look of this conditioner but it definitely was not worth trying.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since I'm not washing my hair every day but about twice a week, I like having a can of Batiste in my cupboard because on the third day I can definitely need some dry shampoo to give my hair a little bit of volume and make it look a tiny bit fresher. Obviously, in my case it only freshens up the top layer of hair but that's still better than nothing. Comparing the floral and cherry one I like the cherry one more, which is why I already got a new one in the meanwhile. Also, I think it's so good that we finally have them Vienna and I think it's pretty weird that they only came out in thr drugstores a few months ago. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i> OTHER</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And the last three products are the "random" products that didn't belong into the two previous categories. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first product I want to mention is the TRESemmé heat protectant which I absolutely loved! I remember when I got it back in Scotland, which by now was ages ago and it was the only heat protectant I've been using since then, so it really lasted me for so long! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since I have to blow dry my hair, a heat protectant is essential and this one definitely helped my hair stay in a better condition. I loved the sweet smell it has, I like the way it looks and once again, the fact that it lasts for so long. And if I'm honest there is still a little bit of it left inside but it got a bit difficult to use it so I put it aside. ( though I think I will now try to get the rest out too :D ) I am pretty much devastated that we don't have TRESemmé in Vienna, or in Poland, because this was definitely my favourite hair product in a long time. Also, their shampoos that come in those huge 900ml bottles- how cool is that???</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once I got this little NIVEA hair milk shampoo to try and I was quite pessimistic about it because the amount that is in this little bottle lasted me for one wash and I was sure that would not make any visible difference but in fact I was surprised because it made my hair really soft and I also liked the gentle NIVEA scent that is well-known by everyone in the world. It was something completely different to my usual hair wash routine because it felt more like a spa treatment for some reason. The only thing I didn't like and I knew straight away that this would be a problem, was the fact that my hair went greasy very quickly after using this shampoo, and I am not a fan of washing my hair too often.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And the last product for today is something fun or a bit crazy even. It's the new one-day hair colour spray by L'oreal Colorista and since the day they came out I was dying to try them but the problem is that most of them only work well on light hair, but I still wanted to give the #pinkhair a go because it is my dream to have pink hair. Well, my mum tried to creat an ombré look and this can really lasted me for just one time and this was rather dissapointing, keeping in mind that it costs around 9 Euros. The effect was quite cool though because my hair was kind of gingery, kind of strawberry blonde and I wish this was my every-day hair colour, so I was happy to have it until the next wash. BUT the colour literally was gone after an hour and I didn't even go out- I was just sitting at home doing nothing, so nobody could even see my cool hair. A thing that really made me mad though was that the spray tangled my hair into a huge knot that I could not brush out for like half an hour and I ended up ripping out so much hair and even though on the can it says it would not give your hair a different feel, it does actually make it kind of stiff and dry + the terrible tangled knot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So to sum up this experience, I have to say that all I liked was the colour but everything else apart from this was really the worst thing ever and I would totally like to get a refund or something because to be honest, it was just a waste of money really. This made me really sad because I was more than excisted for the spray. However, I am also thinking of trying out the 2-week wash out colour but I'm kind of scared of patches and a weird colour for 2 weeks. Let me know if you've tried them already.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />Hope you liked my review of all these things, I hope they were useful for you.</div>

Although I had a mascara and eyeliner that I really liked at that point, I still wanted to give this set a try.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsMoZiLtcYv5RROa2n6HWJo7M-LzYe_K1WMasxAnHwBF36YKGuZMoC_n_IvDn8ekjXzmPgOeezs6f3W5-9sb1FsF0b90QAP5cdOr1dwSo6qaMahsaVAVCO7BYWhGOsVz257Wy8nDCOtnw/s1600/_DSC0188.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="263" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsMoZiLtcYv5RROa2n6HWJo7M-LzYe_K1WMasxAnHwBF36YKGuZMoC_n_IvDn8ekjXzmPgOeezs6f3W5-9sb1FsF0b90QAP5cdOr1dwSo6qaMahsaVAVCO7BYWhGOsVz257Wy8nDCOtnw/s400/_DSC0188.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
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.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
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, so at first I really didn't want to use it in fear of a disaster. But with time I forced myself to try it and by now it really only takes me a few seconds to do a winged liner, I don't need to clean any brushes afterwards and therefore it really saves me a lot of time in the mornings. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I absolutely love how pigmented is too but what does not make me happy is that it is not waterproof, and even a teardrop dissolves the liner and you're left with a black panda eye. ( and if you laugh as much as I do, this is really not cool). Still, compared to all the other felt-tip liners I've tried, I have to say that I really love it as it's very easy to work with and it also stays on for most of the day ( if you don't cry or if it doesn't snow onto your face) and I definitely recommend this to anyone who's into eyeliner.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To sum up, I can really say that this is a perfect duo, for day-wear as well as for a party make-up. They are both amazing products that I would definitely recommend to everyone and I would absolutely love to get another set!</div>

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.<br />
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!<br />
Here are some photos of the trip- hope you like them :)<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
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.</div>
<br />
On the first evening and the second day we went to Zakopane, which is a well-known skiing area in Poland and we went for a walk with the family.<br />

I was quite surprised by the fact that nearly all the buildings in the mountains are made of wood. I am still trying to figure out if this is warm and safe. This little church seemed quite cute but also very creepy to me. Inside it was dark and even though I usually like churches, this one was not too inviting for me.</div>

We lived just at the end of the slope and we had plenty of restaurants and stands with sweets around. On this day we got some amazing churros and soon I saw this cute dog following us. He wanted us to pet him and he was so happy about some company. He definitely wanted some churros too, but didn't get any. He wasn't the only dog wandering around though. There was also a small dog that was running up the slope and he seemed like he enjoyed it so much, but I was really scared that someone would knock him over and hurt him.</div>

We were all skiing, apart from Eryk, who learned how to snowboard, and we all had a good time there. Such a shame the holiday ended so quickly. </div>

I know that I've been singing from the time I could talk and back then, when I was little, Sarah Connor was my absolute favourite singer.<br />
Later on I was singing in a choir for ages and now I do miss it quite a lot at times.<br />
Since times have changed and I no longer listen to Sarah Connor, I wanted to share my current playlist with you and I hope you will enjoy this blog post.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have quite a few playlists on my Youtube account, but there is a particular one I turn on every day. And I also have to say that I don't listen to all the songs daily, but I want to share the songs that are my favourites at the moment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let's start with my current favourite singer - <i>Florence Welch</i>. I think I started listening to her when I was 14 or maybe even younger, I know all the songs by heart and wish I had that dreamy voice too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
From her last album, The Odyssey, I especially like these two songs ( plus the fact that there is a Scottish guy talking obv.) Florence fascinates me every single time I hear her songs- she is truly a queen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSM0lLbVYOo&list=PLxvpdtPi8NDpjen4P-425RJ-0BWcAauvu&index=21">Queen of peace & Long and lost </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next I thought I'd share my rock/metal kind of side with you. Nobody really expects that I do like that kind of music, so when I tell somebody, they are usually quite surprised.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first song of this category will be Metro by<i> System of a Down</i>. Although I find most of their songs might be quite disturbing, this one really calms me down.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcF1oByia9M&list=PLxvpdtPi8NDpjen4P-425RJ-0BWcAauvu&index=130">Metro </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And another band of the rockier kind I really like is <i>Bring me the Horizon</i>. Now, I used to listen to their songs so often, but the song that really got me recently is this beautiful orchestra version of Doomed. It is such a beautiful piece, and keeping in mind that I used to sing in a choir, makes me love this song even more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGc9W-_C9u0&list=PLxvpdtPi8NDpjen4P-425RJ-0BWcAauvu&index=138">Doomed</a> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is also a song by the band <i>Livide</i> that I found by accident and I can't really tell what genre it is. The video is seriously disturbing, which is why I advise you not to watch, just to listen. But the song is really great in my opinion. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtzKaWzhSRY&index=155&list=PLxvpdtPi8NDpjen4P-425RJ-0BWcAauvu&t=62s">Sacrifice </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now, to continue with some "happy" music I chose some Polish artists that are simply amazing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For example,<i> Mela Koteluk</i>, which reminds me of Florence because of her original and creative, poetic lyrics and the special voice. I only listen to about three or four of her songs, but this one is currently my favourite.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ze3YhOPQpM&list=PLxvpdtPi8NDpjen4P-425RJ-0BWcAauvu&index=142">Spadochron</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A band I discovered some months ago is <i>The Dumplings</i>, which at first sounded very absurd to me, but it turned out to be such a good band. I instantly fell in love with their style, the poetic lyrics once again, and the funky music that is nothing I've ever heard before. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxQeXltiI0o&list=PLxvpdtPi8NDpjen4P-425RJ-0BWcAauvu&index=137">Kocham byc z Toba</a> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another Polish song is a blend/remix of a few rappers and I absolutely love it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Out of those four rappers I really like listening to<i> Grubson</i> and <i>Malpa,</i> and this remix is just so catchy and I could listen to it on repeat to be honest. When it comes to rap, I like quite a few Polish songs, however I am not into English, German or any other rap.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sM1q2CvtXh4&index=157&list=PLxvpdtPi8NDpjen4P-425RJ-0BWcAauvu">System </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And to finish off I have three more songs that are more "party-suitable".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Starting off with the <i>Netsky</i> and <i>Macklemore</i> song, I have to say that I first heard it at work and I think the bass and tune are very calming and it just feels like such a good summer song. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFDP9egTwfM&index=153&list=PLxvpdtPi8NDpjen4P-425RJ-0BWcAauvu">Rio</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next song is actually from a Polish artist<i>,Gromee</i>, which I didn't know at first, but once I found it out, I could really tell because these kind of songs are really popular there, and for some reason I really like them. I always imagine myself sitting in the car, on the way to Poland, going away on holidays, when I hear this song. It makes me happy, that's sure.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_Tzi5awvzs&list=PLxvpdtPi8NDpjen4P-425RJ-0BWcAauvu&index=147">Fearless</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This song is also a recent discovery of mine, and it also makes me think of Poland, of holidays and sunny, happy days. It is by the band <i>Hurts</i>, which I usually never listen to, but this song is also so catchy and I think it's quite cool.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_eVOzxZrdE&index=160&list=PLxvpdtPi8NDpjen4P-425RJ-0BWcAauvu">Nothing will be bigger than Us</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

This place is a dream for all the people that miss the UK.<br />
Today even the sun came out, so now I'm sitting on my sofa, all cosy and warm, enjoying some warm sunrays and of course, my favourite Earl Grey tea and a few slices of the golden syrup cake, that I used to buy nearly every day back in Edinburgh.<br />
<br />
Later on I have to go back to uni one more time and then I'll be studying in the evening for tomorrow's exam.<br />

This is crazy and I feel so bad about it but work, uni and my 2 exam weeks really robbed all my free time this month. I am quite sad because since my vlogging camera broke, I thought I would blog more, but so far it didn't go as planned.<br />
<br />
So far I had five exams and there are three more to go until the end of this semester. Today I had a day without any exams, so I really need to study, but we also decided to go and explore Vienna a little bit for a few hours, so that I can also just take a break from studying like crazy.<br />
<br />
Recently I found out that there is a shop in Vienna that sells British food and I was like : OMG, I SO have to go there! And I thought today was a good day to drag Eryk to that shop. It is actually quite far from where I live and it was freezing so we nearly had a mental breakdown before arriving at the shop, but in the end we made it and we were really happy.<br />
That shop had so many things that I already forgot that they existed and I really enjoyed being in that shop because for a short moment you have the feeling of being in a British shop and I really missed it already.<br />
After stocking up on some little things we went to an Asian restaurant and now we are back home all full and frozen, so I will be concentrating on studying now.<br />
<br />
Here are some photos of our trip to town today :)<br />

Happy New Year from Me and Maya!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you all had a great start into the new year! I was just relaxing, studying and working two days so far, so I guess my start wasn't too bad. However, on New Year's Eve my camera broke, which doesn't make me happy because I can't vlog at all, but therefore I decided to try and blog more instead.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since today is a holiday, I have enough time to blog and study, and I decided it would be nice to have a look at a few things that I absolutely loved using throughout the last year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Starting off with skincare, I discovered two amazing products, that are also very affordable, so totally worth trying out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was looking for a micellar water that would work just as good as the famous Bioderma one ( which I love), and everybody here will know the best (?) dupe for it- the Garnier micellar water that comes in the bottle with a pink cap. Yes, I also tried it and I like that it removes make-up quick and easy but the smell that it leaves on my skin is just so gross that I absolutely can't use it. There is also a Garnier micellar water with a blue cap, which also had the same effect on me, and a green one, which I haven't tried yet because I was sure it would do the same. However, when this All-in-1 micellar water came out, I first had to smell it and realised it actually had a very pretty scent, so I knew this wouldn't stink for sure. And i have to say that I already had two or three of them and I just feel like it is by far the best one I've tried so far. ( I also remember buying one from Simple, which was amazing, but it's not available here in Vienna.) This micellar water smells good, and thanks to it's oils the make-up just melts off quickly and you're all done. However, the oily part is also a thing that I don't like too much about this micellar water because the oil stays on your skin after you've taken off your make-up, so I always have to wipe the excess off- but this is still better than the smell of mould on your face, right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another skincare product I discovered in 2016 is the Ziaja Manuka Tree purifying deeply cleansing peeling paste ( I know the name could be a bit shorter, but somehow I like it because it already gives away all the information about the product). This peeling paste is created for oily and combination skin and it's nothing I've ever seen before. It is kind of a mix of a face mask and a scrub, it looks kind of like a tooth paste and it feels like sanding paper. But OMG it's so good! It really gets rid of all dead skin cells, blackheads and any other skin imperfections within seconds. It is a pretty harsh product so if you have very sensitive skin, be careful. Still, it is perfect for me and I will definitely repurchase it once I've used up this one.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next up: nail polish. I like having nail polish on but the bad thing is that when I paint my nails in the morning, they will be already chipped or faded at the edges in the evening. I also used top coats and everything, but nothing seems to help. So, when the first "gel nail polish" by Sally Hansen came out I was so desperate to try it out but I never saw any reviews and also didn't want to spend over 20 Euros on it. And after some time I found this nail polish duo from Manhattan and I instantly fell in love. You can choose from a few different nail polish colours ( though I have to say that I don't think the colour range is too versatile) and you also pick the black bottle, which is the "gel top coat". You put on two coats of the colour ( mine is 175- time for taupe) and one coat of the top coat and your nail polish will literally stay on for a week. And I am seriously impressed because no other nail polish stayed on for longer than two days on my nails before. Also, they are really affordable and I will definitely have to stock up on some new colours soon.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't think I have to say too much about my favourite mascara ever, because I already mentioned it in like every single post I wrote, but yes, the Rimmel Scandaleyes Lycraflex mascara is my favourite drugstore mascara, it makes my lashes really long, they are not clumpy, the mascara keeps them up all day long and I just love it. I've also been using it for about three years now, so it really is a favourite product of mine. ( And again, so cheap!)</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The three last products that I absolutely loved last year are the Golden Rose Velvet Matte lipsticks and the Waterproof lipliner that matches one of the lipsticks too. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhveVw1iFGGAPzDBo6o70jZraIevV2WCZjDfPobMv-l4ucX0joTstFTFVwk02YKkJJaHGNnpc4295cx5u64ADl4Zsiuxj4all4AegvSRf-ZU7dxpyzejHQfz1WPgY3pQwukHDsx7wSScBc/s1600/DSC_4847.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhveVw1iFGGAPzDBo6o70jZraIevV2WCZjDfPobMv-l4ucX0joTstFTFVwk02YKkJJaHGNnpc4295cx5u64ADl4Zsiuxj4all4AegvSRf-ZU7dxpyzejHQfz1WPgY3pQwukHDsx7wSScBc/s400/DSC_4847.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The top/ left swatch is number 14, and the lipliner I have is number 53 and it goes perfectly with this lipstick. This colour is a dark dusty pink shade, that also looks pretty much like my walls in my bedroom. I absolutely love this colour and I think it matches my complexion very well. It is delicate, yet bold at the same time. It can be worn at any occasion, from day-to-day, to celebrations. I am sure it would fit so many different skin types!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The bottom/ right swatch is number 16, which is more of a browny shade. I would say it's still kind of nude-ish with some terracotta and brown in it. And this is again another colour I just absolutely love wearing. It looks a bit more natural than the previous one, and I never liked this kind of colour but this year I totally fell in love with it. I think it looks great on girls with dark eyes and hair but I can also imagine it on very pale girls- so again, the perfect shade for nearly everyone, and any occasion.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The lipliner is very creamy and it glides on like butter. It is retractable and even has a tiny sharpener at the other end, but I never used it before. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Golden Rose Velvet Matte lipsticks come in soo many colours, and I absolutely love them because they are really pigmented and stay on throughout the whole day! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Since Christmas is always very fancy in our house, I also make sure my outfit and make-up look pretty. And since I wear the same make-up every day, it's quite hard for me to go for something else ( mainly cause I suck at everything else that is not mascara and eyeliner).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I got my early Christmas gift from Eryk two years ago, which was the Urban Decay Naked On The Run palette, it made things a bit easier.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My Christmas make-up this year will look like this:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Starting off with the base...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My make-up base is always the same, except for the powder that I sometimes have to switch because of a tan or fading tan etc.<br />First step is of course concealer. Back in the UK I always used the Collection concealer, which is the best, but here I had to find something else that would be good enough to cover my undereye circles. I read many good reviews on the Catrice Liquid Camouflage ones, so I now repurchase them all the time. They are pretty good, have a very light weight consistency and are not sold out all the time ( like the Collection one).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I always get shade 010 Porcelain for the eyes and 020 Light Beige for any spots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I go over to some powder. I usually use my Bourjois Healthy Balance one, but recently I went for a slightly darker one from Astor, the Mattitude Powder in 005 Beige. It is quite alright, but nothing compared to my favourite Bourjois one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next step is bronzer of course. My face always stays pale, even in summer, so I have to use quite an amount of bronzer to look healthier. My favourite one by far is the Delice de Poudre by Bourjois in shade 52. I've had it for ages and I will definitely get a new one too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next up: blush und highlighter</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I recently got the beautiful Artdeco Crystal Garden Blusher, which has some tiny Swarovski crystals on the lid and it just looks so pretty. It is a combination of 3 different pink colours that create that perfect blush and glow for any skin type I think. It is not too pink, which I thought at first, so I really like using it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And when my base is nearly done, I use some highlighter from the brand Wibo. It's a Polish drugstore brand that somehow got quite good over the last years and everyone is hyping this highlighter. It comes in a pretty, delicate champagne colour. It gives you a beautiful shine and I just love using it on a daily basis.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First, I used the Urban Decay Naked On The Run palette, which has 5 gorgeous rose-gold, copper and brown shades that suit my complexion the most in my opinion. I don't use it too often like I said before, but I love it for special occasions. These shadows only come in this palette and the ones I used are called: Dive, Fix and Resist. ( The first 3 ones from the left)</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVzv_0JTya-MoQFF1I1S3qFexoui6BUnVEu9il6nE_s83bAohm9Si60wYHlUFTwK2MehGWlQxNVXaZnxvpN0gb9BmoOZA8dfCthUAc-Ia1fZEvelndezKSqwVjCxV51ovLIT3xuOGmhG8/s1600/_DSC0033.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVzv_0JTya-MoQFF1I1S3qFexoui6BUnVEu9il6nE_s83bAohm9Si60wYHlUFTwK2MehGWlQxNVXaZnxvpN0gb9BmoOZA8dfCthUAc-Ia1fZEvelndezKSqwVjCxV51ovLIT3xuOGmhG8/s400/_DSC0033.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I went for some sparkly purple eyeliner underneath my lower lashline, to add the whole look a little pop of colour. The eyeliner is from Avon and it's the glimmerstick diamonds eyeliner in shade sugar plum ( I also have a black sparkly one, but this time I went for purple)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And of course the eye look wouldn't be finished with a delicate, black winged eyeliner. I think it just gives my eye so much definition and it kind of makes it more awake. I used the Clarins Instant liner in the shade 01 black, which is a liquid liner with a felt tip, that I normally never use, but this one just has such a great pigmentation and it's easier to use on top of eyeshadow than a gel liner.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimpuvKWJj5ec1hoLM5LmMWuU1qLZG2MS8XpgDIzT2Y9aLO8_bEBwcfIk6AkqlC1sz0OPDXG8uyur8yOadXLUMGPla-hu6jxT9Ucot7_aHkeNd4mYkDaEQA3exWnxFNLNnCSbwYp0CMhAo/s1600/_DSC0034.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="263" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimpuvKWJj5ec1hoLM5LmMWuU1qLZG2MS8XpgDIzT2Y9aLO8_bEBwcfIk6AkqlC1sz0OPDXG8uyur8yOadXLUMGPla-hu6jxT9Ucot7_aHkeNd4mYkDaEQA3exWnxFNLNnCSbwYp0CMhAo/s400/_DSC0034.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And finally, my favourite drugstore mascara, the Rimmel Scandaleyes Lycraflex one, which makes my lashes really long and keeps them up throughout the whole day. From all the mascaras I've tried, this one works the best for me ( apart from Rollerlash and Perversion)</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To finish this festive look off, I am going for a bold red lip. This Mac Viva Glam lipstick is such a beautiful dark red colour and it's perfect for autumn and winter, plus it stays on for absolute ages too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you liked this festive make-up look! :)</div>

Today I decided it was time again for a more beauty related post, so I thought talking about winter skincare might be interesting to some of you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First, I have to say that I am a VERY lazy person when it comes to using skincare regularly, and what is also important is that due to my Psoriasis, my skin gets really dry over a few weeks every winter and summer. This gets really annoying because when I take off my jeans at the end of the day, they will be covered with white, dead skin cells on the inside. This is exactly what happens when you have Psoriasis, your skin regenerates much, much faster than it should and as a result your skin always seems dry and needs proper skincare to stay smooth and silky.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course, you should also keep your skin moistured even if you don't have any skin issues!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I picked a product for showering, moisturising my body, hands and face, so let's check out the products!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first product I wanted to quickly talk about is a shower gel from Le Petit Marseillais and I always get this brand from Poland from the German drugstore Rossmann, which means that probably you can also get it in Germany, though not in Austria. I don't think UK has them either.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Le Petit Marseillais has a few scent ranges and I already spoke about it a few times on my blog because I just really love their shower gels. I always get the regular ones that come in that boxy shaped bottle, but last time when I was in Poland I went for this slightly fancier shower gel that contains hazelnut oil and royal jelly. Now, you will probably know that royal jelly is really good for your skin, so I just had to try it out. It is also not really a shower gel, but more of a shower oil, though it does not have a greasy consistency or anything. However, you can tell it hydrates your skin better and a little goes a long way. I am not too keen on the smell, because when it comes to skincare I always have to see if I like the smell. I am not saying this shower oil smells bad, but to me it just has more of a standard creamy-like scent that is not overly special. Still, it is a great product that is really affordable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjbceAYUmPjbOAU7Tlf8ROMRicstZsFH9XvN8tGrpzzIwHhKjOD9r6uiFxO6SFjxsujuYEMtX5KmJSxwRCIZj4W5v2BOJajt3sPcX5MJs-XI5Rr9ZRWU2P-fnEOponeUmO9gIAlfYD47Y/s1600/_DSC0007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjbceAYUmPjbOAU7Tlf8ROMRicstZsFH9XvN8tGrpzzIwHhKjOD9r6uiFxO6SFjxsujuYEMtX5KmJSxwRCIZj4W5v2BOJajt3sPcX5MJs-XI5Rr9ZRWU2P-fnEOponeUmO9gIAlfYD47Y/s400/_DSC0007.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After taking a shower I do force myself to moisturise as often as possible, but I really hate waiting for creams to soak in. Now, a few days ago I received this body lotion from Ziaja that comes in a spray and this is pretty much life changing. The application is so easy, the lotion is really light weight and it soaks into your skin within seconds, so that you can get dressed immediately after applying it. It has a delicate, refreshing cucumber and mint scent and is suitable for all skin types. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Face moisturisers are always so annoying to me and I hardly ever use them, but now that my skin is literally flaking off I just have to moisture every morning and night. In the mornings I usually use this ultra fracial cream by Kiehl's, which has a very light weight consistency too, so you really need just a tiny amount of it to hydrate your whole face. After a few seconds you can start applying your make-up and your skin will just feel much more relaxed and it will also look much better. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really like the design of this product because it is very simple and it also looks really fancy, but I don't like the smell at all. I remember a lipbalm from Blistex that I bought years ago and it said it had no scent but in reality it had this exact smell and I think that it smells of chestnuts?! I don't even know if this is what chestnuts smell but for years I always had this impression and I really can't stand this smell. This is also why I only use this cream before putting on my make-up and never before bed time, because then I'd have to smell it until I fall asleep. It is very good though, just the smell doesn't impress me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And also very important: hand cream. Again, I have never been the person that would use hand creams, but over the last few years, since I started working, I realised how dry my hands are and that they feel really rough. Very often the skin on my knuckles cracks open and then it hurts quite a lot. Also, due to the ice cold temperatures that we have now, my hands are a nightmare. For this reason I always keep this tiny hand cream from treaclemoon in my handbag and try to use it on my breaks and whenever I feel like I really have terribly dry hands already.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The hand cream smells of coconut but it also comes in three different scents and I just couldn't decide. And for some reason I now feel like the three other scents are much better than this one because they are fruity and fresh, whereas this one is quite a heavy one, that I don't always like. Still, it's not too bad and it has a cool monochrome look. I totally need to get a new one after using up this cream because they are just so practical! The cream comes in a 75ml container and it really fits into every handbag or beauty bag.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Those are my life savers at the moment, when the days are grey and ice cold. Do you have any good skincare products? Leave your suggestions in the comments!</div>

Due to work and uni, the time went by so quickly that I didn't even realise that the year is coming to an end, and therefore, Christmas is just around the corner too.<br />
<br />
I am usually the person, who will always choose summer over winter, but then again, I really love Christmas. I love Christmas because of the way we celebrate it in Poland, I think it's quite special and magical.<br />
<br />
Every year we go to Poland, to spend the Christmas holidays with my whole family, and also this year we're going, except that we only have three days off this time. Still, I'm sure we will enjoy it and have a great time.<br />

<br />
There are so many things I like about Christmas....<br />
<br />
I do hate the cold for sure, but running back home to get a hot cup of delicious Earl Grey tea with that zingy lemon taste in it is priceless to me. Like I said once: tea is life. In summer you can't drink too much hot tea, so the cold season is actually made for tea I guess.<br />
<br />
Snow on Christmas Eve became a distant memory by now, because over the last few years we never had any snow in Poland during Christmas and we secretly always hope for it because it would make it even more special and beautiful. And yes, I usually also do hate snow ( because, like yesterday, when it was snowing here in Vienna, it was freezing cold, the snow was coming from every possible direction and it really was no fun to me), but on those few days when I can stay at home in the cosy, christmassy atmosphere, I really do find it acceptable and adequate I'd say. For some reason, the seasons have shifted a lot and now every time we spend Easter in Poland, it's snowing every year, but never on Christmas.<br />
<br />
Shopping gifts and wrapping them all up is quite a difficult task when you have a rather big family, but it is somehow quite fun to me, if I obviously plan everything in advance, and don't struggle with time, like I did this year. I still managed to get all gifts and I hope everyone will like them, and I am also really excited for my gifts already, because I always have an idea of what I might get, but I never know everything.<br />
I like wrapping up gifts with a nice cup of tea and good music, a cosy outfit and just a whole, lazy day. I feel like then you really get to feel that Christmas is SO soon!<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The streets during Christmas time are always so busy here in Vienna because of all the amazing Christmas markets and tourists, but when we go to Poland, to the countrysite, it's just so quiet and peaceful. I love it when it's really quiet outside in the evening when we all "wait" for Santa and the kids get all excited and we go out in the freezing cold to "look" for Santa and the streets are so quiet, with nobody around- I think it is so relaxing and it adds some magic to Christmas too.<br />
<br />
And of course- the food. I always plan on loosing one or two kilograms before Christmas so that by the time it's Christmas and we get all the delicious food, I can actually eat it all without gaining too much weight, but I am never that successful and then towards the end of the festive season I feel like I'm about to explode and my stomach will surely die. We always have loads to eat and everybody eats until they can't anymore and then all of us lay on my aunt's huge sofa and we just watch movies and talk and relax until we go back to eating again. Does that not sound great?<br />

I am pretty sure in Poland you usually only bake gingerbread biscuits and decorate them, whereas in Austria, you get a huge selection of delicious biscuits. There is a great choice for everyone!<br />
My mum and I always bake the famous "Vanillekipferl" and "Linzeraugen", which are filled with apricot jam, or sometimes with a different kind too. These are actually my favourite ones, and I think that most of the younger people in my family prefer those, while the "older" ones like the Vanillekipferl best.<br />
Of course you can buy ready baked and decorated Christmas biscuits in every shop at this time of the year, but to me baking them is also a very important part of the Christmas tradition.<br />
I love it when you sit in the kitchen on a gloomy, snowy ( or rainy day like today) and all you do is bake biscuits all day long. The delicious smell of vanilla and cinnamon fills the house and that very moment really feels like Christmas is close.<br />

I was looking back on what I did exactly two years ago, and at that time I was in Scotland, I didn't have my mum around, I had to do everything on my own, the shopping, the laundry, cooking, paper work, and when Christmas was close, I also had to bake all on my own. I remember the gingerbread men I was baking, with a nice candle on the counter top, some nice music and the smell of oranges and cloves filled the air. You can go and check it out <b><i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lXpidTT4kg">here</a></i></b>. It was a different kind of Christmas time for me because all I had was Eryk and Maya really, but on Christmas eve and the following festive days I was reunited with my family and I think being with your loved ones on Christmas is the most important thing. And of course, my mum baked the delicious biscuits again, which this time tasted even better to me.</div>
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even though we were now baking for a few hours, and a few days ago too, shortly before Christmas we will also bake a few cakes, and then again I will enjoy the baking time with my mum. </div>

And if I'm honest, I still don't quite now what I'd like to get this year. However, I came up with a few ideas that would make great gifts for me, so let's have a look!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW4a0qfGBotXTrOJ0qFZauZz1itii_z1K5hDgu6q5uRnXU4Lmjt2QZDtzAhIz4teNviBEvx2omuiGe04EjRmQ2ww5lzK8abu-UpvZ6J4FkV4A4NVFF8ZkxxCcgKnK7J7kd0MngIzFADTQ/s1600/My+Christmas+Wishlist.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW4a0qfGBotXTrOJ0qFZauZz1itii_z1K5hDgu6q5uRnXU4Lmjt2QZDtzAhIz4teNviBEvx2omuiGe04EjRmQ2ww5lzK8abu-UpvZ6J4FkV4A4NVFF8ZkxxCcgKnK7J7kd0MngIzFADTQ/s640/My+Christmas+Wishlist.png" width="424" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i>1. Moschino - Chic Petals perfume</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Before I first discovered this perfume, I was totally in love with Escada's Cherry in the air and when they discontinued it my heart pretty much broke. It took me some time to find another perfume that I'd like just as much, and it's the Chic petals perfume by Moschino.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It smells very glamourous, though still pretty sweet, which I really like. I have already been asked SO many times what perfume I'm using and I am still surprised every time I hear that question.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is obviously not a regular drug store perfume, so it's a teeny tiny bit more pricey, however, it's very intense and lasts for ages! ( I got my last one in April and I will still have it probably throughout the whole month of January!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i>2. Woodwick Candle</i></b></div>
A few years ago I already got a Woodwick candle for Christmas and to me they are just the best candles ever! They come in so many scent varieties, sizes and shapes that it's really difficult to just pick one at a time. But the best thing about them is that they make a cracking noise when they are burning and they sound like a fireplace. So they are definitely not just any regular candles, they are pretty cool! I have to say though that not everybody likes them as much as me, for example Eryk is always freaking out a bit cause he has the feeling that something is on fire. :D<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>3. Casio Watch</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have never been a watch person and I only got myself a watch for the first time when I passed my finals. Before that I only got one watch gifted when I was around 10 or so I think. It was from the brand STAMPS and it looked really cool but it's just too bulky for my wrist. So when I was looking for the perfect watch two years ago I chose a Swatch with a long strap that you wrap around your wrist twice. I like it a lot but the battery died and for some reason I am too lazy to go and get it exchanged. Still, I do need a watch at work and uni too so I decided to get my hands on a retro Casio watch that somehow everyone seems to like at this moment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The reason why I want exactly this model is because of the digital display. Normal watches take me quite a while to figure out what time it is, so this one would be just perfect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>4. Bourjois Bronzer</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If any of you had one of those, you will know that they last for years! I've had mine for nearly 3 years now and only a few months back I hit the pan. It's now getting more and more difficult to use it, but it will still last me for probably half a year or longer. Still, I want a new one, just in case they decide to discontinue it for some reason ( like the Escada perfume, or Bourjois in general in Austria).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For many people the bronzer seems to be too orange but with my complexion it works great, especially in summer or with foundation. I have to be honest and say that I tend to use quite a lot of bronzer for my contour because without it I feel like a potato face.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>5. Tangle Teezer</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I bought my Tangle Teezer two years ago just after Christmas and I immediately realised what a difference it makes. My mum always spent ages on detangling my thick hair ( it used to be much thicker than it is now), and I wish we had a Tangle Teezer back then because it would save us a lot of time, energy and hair. I can't use any other hair brush anymore and I really recommend a Tangle Teezer for all the girls who have the same problem as me. I have to brush my hair so many times throughout the day so that it stays pretty, and thanks to the Tangle Teezer I am done within a few seconds.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The problem is that when I blow dry my hair, I always use the tanngle teezer to brush through my hair and due to the heat the bristles melted a bit and they are not so straight anymore. I also dropped it quite a few times and it's now falling apart in two pieces so often and that's really annoying. This definitely calls for a new one!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let me know what you're wishing/ hoping for this year!</div>

Hello everyone!<br />Today I didn't really plan on blogging because initially I had no time for it but since I'm poorly at home and just received a surprise Christmas parcel from Ziaja Austria, I had to blog about it straight away!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHzBFvJbXU5ysRxqlLQXPlk98LoMs_jna5hTq51dwsQCnxGmAI5xqAgTJSWxhjvOCxXc6lZL0SM9W84giMy6-Mw0bjValBrNBrfbxWsI3IGi72CHfaRIeuAupTZ7yVdvokmvhsW-UObMM/s1600/_DSC0382.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHzBFvJbXU5ysRxqlLQXPlk98LoMs_jna5hTq51dwsQCnxGmAI5xqAgTJSWxhjvOCxXc6lZL0SM9W84giMy6-Mw0bjValBrNBrfbxWsI3IGi72CHfaRIeuAupTZ7yVdvokmvhsW-UObMM/s400/_DSC0382.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The parcel contained a new range of skincare products for the face as well as the body, plus a pretty wax melt burner and a matching mint wax from Kringle. So cool!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The best thing about this cucumber mint range is that it's suitable for all skin types! So, if you're not 100% sure about your skin type or want to gift some skincare products to someone but you don't know their skin type either- this is a great range!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is available right now online for Austria in the <i style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://ziajashop.at/epages/d371fedf-8194-4b69-81bf-42f2e364531e.sf/de_AT/?ObjectPath=/Shops/d371fedf-8194-4b69-81bf-42f2e364531e/Categories/Pflegeserien/Gurke">ziajashop</a> </i>!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg83HMbKNeJ_VyWHX3Jv9crjMPG5pOuwVrGkCCZSSI4y6cijNV0GqXSd3cbf24qUqSlZ9Kes-N_VqjEM638firNIaibg-qxwKRNftub0BQCdx1qmWluUQIChCqnBtM8Vnv9JDnSRLbmg-E/s1600/_DSC0383.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="263" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg83HMbKNeJ_VyWHX3Jv9crjMPG5pOuwVrGkCCZSSI4y6cijNV0GqXSd3cbf24qUqSlZ9Kes-N_VqjEM638firNIaibg-qxwKRNftub0BQCdx1qmWluUQIChCqnBtM8Vnv9JDnSRLbmg-E/s400/_DSC0383.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Cucumber mint body lotion comes in a 200ml bottle and it actually comes in the form of a lightweight spray, which I find very cool and handy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After spraying the lotion onto your skin, all you have to do is gently massage it in and it soaks into your skin straight away. I love lotions that only take seconds to apply and that don't need ages to dry - so this is definitely going to be a new favourite for me!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The spray lotion contains lactobiotic acid, reduces roughness and soothes irritations, apart from hydrating your skin very well. And only a few days ago I've been complaining about how terribly my skin got this winter again. I am literally flaking and I really hope this lotion will solve my problem within a few days.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFoqBN39yT3HvU8hLRP95fOS4bYNEDWY3e65qzCzBQ9zL48QqdrwCuN0jTdndX4W8PZ4gFpB-OEqTkGdn23Ne-WC8ck7lpQwAFQjNdPChq92sQxQHmXj6Rbodqu2x_LK05DE_s3mGP0uE/s1600/_DSC0384.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="263" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFoqBN39yT3HvU8hLRP95fOS4bYNEDWY3e65qzCzBQ9zL48QqdrwCuN0jTdndX4W8PZ4gFpB-OEqTkGdn23Ne-WC8ck7lpQwAFQjNdPChq92sQxQHmXj6Rbodqu2x_LK05DE_s3mGP0uE/s400/_DSC0384.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The second product is a cucumber mint micellar gel, which again sounds very interesting and innovative to me. I have never heard of a micellar gel before so I am very curious about it and can't wait to give it a try.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It comes in a 200ml bottle with a pump, and pumps are always great because they make everything much easier- it doesn't get messy, you won't spill any product etc.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This micellar gel also contains the lactobiotic acid, it effectively cleanses any skin type and smooths the skin. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When you apply it to your skin it creates a soft foam and then leaves your skin feeling clean and fresh. Once you're done, just rinse the excess off with some lukewarm water and you're ready to go to bed, or start applying your make-up, or just ready to go without having to do anything after that.</div>

And therefore the days go by so quickly that you still don't get to do everything you are supposed to do.<br />
For example, I had loads of assingments to do that are due in two days and I'm working every day that I'm not spending at uni. I still have some uni work to do, I didn't get all the Christmas shopping done yet and due to all the busy days I didn't even have the chance yet to go to a Christmas market, I didn't decorate my flat at all and it doesn't feel very festive yet I think.<br />
I will still be busy right up to Christmas, but I hope that I will ecentually get into that Christmas spirit too!<br />
<br />
A few days ago I was thinking of blogging over the last five to six days before Christmas because seeing everyone do Vlogmas, I am kind of sad that I don't even manage to post twice a week anymore, yet alone vlog every day.<br />
Hopefully my 5 days of "blogmas" will be chilled out and full of that festive feeling. :)<br />

After many many weeks full of stress, exams and work, I can now take a little break because I'm done with my exams for now, but I still have one presentation next week and 2 written assignments to do until the 15th of December. However, the worst things are over and this is why tonight I could actually after a long time, sit down in cosy clothes, put up my feet and enjoy a good cup of tea and some amazing gingerbread. ( once again, because yes- I do love gingerbread!)</div>

My tips for a relaxing evening are simple, yet they are really good if you need some time for yourself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1) Make sure you are cosy, wrapped up in soft blankets and have a cosy spot on the sofa or bed to watch some series, videos or movies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2) What is just as important is something delicious, warm to drink- tea, hot chocolate or even coffee if that makes you happy. And of course, some snacks. Snacks are important. I couldn't live without snacks to be honest. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3) Light some fragranced candles, or burn some wax, which is maybe even better. Turn on fairy lights instead of those bright LED light bulbs ( which I have everywhere) .Create a warm, cosy atmosphere that will let you relax and tank some energy before a new, stressful day begins.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let me know what you like doing after a stressful week! :)</div>

Time is flying by so fast and I didn't even realise that I haven't posted in ages already!<br />
This month is busier than I expected, so I'm trying to finish off all the homeworks, presentations and revise for my exams, plus I'm also working and somehow I don't even get time to sit down and watch a series, have a cup of tea and just relax for some time. So I really can't wait for my Christmas break, where I'll still have to work, but on the other days I will manage to do everything else I have to.<br />
<br />
Last week Eryk pretty spontaneously decided to come and stay for a few days since he had some time off. I had my exam week so I was rather nervous about this idea, but Eryk was relaxing, playing games and watching videos, while I was studying all day long until my exams.<br />
On one of these days I decided that I needed a short break so we decided to go to the city centre for an hour or two, just to have a stroll around, look at the small Christmas market there, and the Christmas lights etc.<br />

I hope you're all doing well and that autumn didn't already put you in the worst mood ever.<br />
<br />
My life is really busy at the moment, which is why I currently don't post anything. It annoys me every day and I wish I could go back to the time when I first started blogging, uploading new posts DAILY! Looking at it now I'm really impressed by that and I ask myself how I managed to do that. But then again- I only went to school, I didn't have to study as much as I have to now, and I also didn't work, which makes a huge difference.<br />
<br />
Having uni and work on every day of the week apart from Sunday really makes you struggle with your free time. All the free time I manage to find, I spend on studying or sleeping.<br />
<br />
I am so angry at myself that I don't blog anymore, but I just really don't have enough time to think of nice topics, take nice shots and write interesting entries. I have many ideas but just don't get to make them happen.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Recently I've been thinking of writing posts in advance, and scheduling them for the whole week. I could write 2 or 3 on days I don't have as much to do, because I really want to use my blog to show you things, to tell you things.<br />
<br />
About two or three weeks ago, when I posted a few entries in a row, I had so many clicks that I was somewhat confused and so surprised, but it definitely felt good cause I knew that you were having a look at what I've created. And I wish I could go on with blogging like I used to, so let's keep our fingers crossed!<br />
<br />
And: thank you for reading my blog :)<br />

<br />
Yesterday we had our National Holiday here in Austria, so like every year we headed into the city centre for a nice family walk. The weather is actually much better this week than it was over the last ones, which is very good. I could even leave my winter jacket at home, so that's a big plus.<br />
I must say that I was a bit disappointed by this years' National Holiday, because usually it's at one location, every year it's the same one, and this year it was scattered all over different areas, which was very confusing and unusual. But still, it was a nice day out.<br />
<br />
After our long walk around all the pretty, cobbled streets of Vienna, we went to a Chinese restaurant for some food, which was so tasty! We ate so much though, that once we got home we all had to nap first. And somehow I didn't manage to put this post up anymore, so that's why I'm doing it today!<br />
<br />
I wanted to study all day long today but due to some issues I wasn't home til now, so I only have a few hours left to revise.<br />
Tomorrow is just another busy day- first I have a uni class early in the morning and then I have to work for the rest of the day + Saturday too.<br />

I wanted to wear something more fancy yesterday on that special day, but somehow I again ended up wearing my favourite outfit, which you can also find <a href="http://livialinette.blogspot.co.at/2016/10/cosy-autumn-outfit.html">here</a>!</div>
And <a href="http://livialinette.blogspot.co.at/2015/10/my-ootd-austrian-national-holiday.html">here</a>'s the outfit I wore last year! ( Much more fancy )<br />

Hope you all Austrian people had a nice day too! :)<br />

I don't get to blog regularly anymore because of my days at uni and work, so all I have left to do everyhing is Sunday, and this again is not enough when I have to do all my homework, revision, house work, vlog editing, blogging etc.<br />
<br />
I also thought we would have a nice warm, sunny autumn, but turns out it is only grey, freezing and windy, often rainy and you really don't want to leave the house anymore.<br />
<br />
One day I was looking through my wardrobe and I realised that most of my stuff is great for summer, but not warm enough for the colder months, so I decided to get some new more cosy bits in.<br />
Now, over tha last few weeks I was wearing the same jumper over and over again. Even in one vlog I realised that I wore it everyday! It's so chunky and warm that I never want to take it off, so it looks like I need to get more new jumpers in the next weeks.<br />
<br />
I also realised that I had so many pairs of jeans and only one would fit me nicely, but since it's a low rise jegging it won't go with every top, and after weeks of struggling with finding a good outfit ( and always opting for skirts instead) I thought it was about time I went into town to have a look at some high waisted jeans. And I absolutely hate jeans shopping because I can NEVER find a nice looking one. But, before I started wearing skirts on a daily basis I used to shop my jeans at Bershka only so I gave it a try this week. And I actually found a pair that I love! ( And it was so cheap!)<br />

</div>
Hey everyone! Being ill and not having to work nor study gives me enough time for blogging, which is nice because I got pretty crap at blogging lately.<br />
<br />
Today I'm back with a post about a few new things I've tried from Ziaja.<br />
I got all the products a few weeks ago and wanted to spend some time testing them all before writing a whole blog post about them. Now the time has come, so let's get straight into it!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwKB2CO9txBZqEpag4EC6XYxWNrQKdIlSir7mfaMTtnNAbLFgQmSsFGwGKkVjFaLRuqwR-DI0Zd2w1rdp3IO7dH3kbIogMvhCR5pbeL6YMWeZXqQtrXxeVy93RQcSCIyIkClStsDe6WOc/s1600/_DSC0319.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="263" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwKB2CO9txBZqEpag4EC6XYxWNrQKdIlSir7mfaMTtnNAbLFgQmSsFGwGKkVjFaLRuqwR-DI0Zd2w1rdp3IO7dH3kbIogMvhCR5pbeL6YMWeZXqQtrXxeVy93RQcSCIyIkClStsDe6WOc/s400/_DSC0319.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first product is the Ziaja<a href="http://ziajashop.at/epages/d371fedf-8194-4b69-81bf-42f2e364531e.sf/de_AT/?ObjectPath=/Shops/d371fedf-8194-4b69-81bf-42f2e364531e/Products/216"><b><i> Grapefruit with green mint hand soap</i></b></a> and this is a new addition to their range actually, so I just had to test it straight away!<br />I totally fell for the beautiful monochrome look of the soap, with the pretty writing and the cute red grapefruit on the bottom. I wish all soaps would look as beautiful as this one. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The soap smells heavenly ( I do love the scent of grapefruits!) and for some reason I really like shower gels and soaps that smell of grapefruits.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What surprised me about the soap is that it's bright green, but I guess mint is green so it's adequate.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The soap gets rid of grease and bad smell quickly, leaving your hands very clean, soft and moisturised! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The soap also comes in 3 different scents: <a href="http://ziajashop.at/epages/d371fedf-8194-4b69-81bf-42f2e364531e.sf/de_AT/?ObjectPath=/Shops/d371fedf-8194-4b69-81bf-42f2e364531e/Products/216">Grapefruit & green mint</a>, <a href="http://ziajashop.at/epages/d371fedf-8194-4b69-81bf-42f2e364531e.sf/de_AT/?ObjectPath=/Shops/d371fedf-8194-4b69-81bf-42f2e364531e/Products/217">tea & cinnamon</a>, <a href="http://ziajashop.at/epages/d371fedf-8194-4b69-81bf-42f2e364531e.sf/de_AT/?ObjectPath=/Shops/d371fedf-8194-4b69-81bf-42f2e364531e/Products/215">tamarind & green orange. </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm sure the tea & cinnamon one will be amazing for the colder months of the year, so I also have to try that one out!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj33aL-pnqnawW9Mge_SJwCp9TZpd6K4-Z12M4Z35XO-EnCXMtJt6YmE697qiAMXg3tqyDJ5a8cTbeaFi9UtZCp5BSwSSQmkqTn9T1Gtaf7UexrwRwYlWqpgo5oNqg2xZluvkCao35dqT8/s1600/_DSC0320.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="263" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj33aL-pnqnawW9Mge_SJwCp9TZpd6K4-Z12M4Z35XO-EnCXMtJt6YmE697qiAMXg3tqyDJ5a8cTbeaFi9UtZCp5BSwSSQmkqTn9T1Gtaf7UexrwRwYlWqpgo5oNqg2xZluvkCao35dqT8/s400/_DSC0320.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The second product is the Ziaja <a href="http://ziajashop.at/epages/d371fedf-8194-4b69-81bf-42f2e364531e.sf/de_AT/?ObjectPath=/Shops/d371fedf-8194-4b69-81bf-42f2e364531e/Products/159" style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Manuka Tree purifying paste</a> for oily & combination skin and oh my god is this great!<br />My skin has been a bit weird recently, with many clogged pores and dead skin peeling off my nose and this paste saved me just in time!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You use the paste like a face scrub, except that this is REALLY strong. It feels like sanding paper on your skin, so if your skin is really sensitive I would opt for the <a href="http://ziajashop.at/epages/d371fedf-8194-4b69-81bf-42f2e364531e.sf/de_AT/?ObjectPath=/Shops/d371fedf-8194-4b69-81bf-42f2e364531e/Products/158">Manuka Tree wash gel</a> instead. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The paste is harsh but it feels so good and your skin is so soft and glowing afterwards. It unclogs your pores effectively and prevents blackheads formation, which is exactly what I need. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I absolutely love this peeling paste and recommend it to everyone who has the same problems as me. It is amazing! I will so have to repurchase this once I'm done with this one.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9KOUQli-VIIeiV1E1EtPLy5P0UUjhWtGyCHnNej7oM3L8oKE8fhoGSfQ7YrGpDG7fkWWxSL0XdSBswh1X6hBnTj-Lir3ie5dRyy1qIGuzoWIIjlcdAkQELYyoUIx9wwNWwsOj-gfEnhc/s1600/_DSC0322.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9KOUQli-VIIeiV1E1EtPLy5P0UUjhWtGyCHnNej7oM3L8oKE8fhoGSfQ7YrGpDG7fkWWxSL0XdSBswh1X6hBnTj-Lir3ie5dRyy1qIGuzoWIIjlcdAkQELYyoUIx9wwNWwsOj-gfEnhc/s400/_DSC0322.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next product is a <a href="http://ziajashop.at/epages/d371fedf-8194-4b69-81bf-42f2e364531e.sf/de_AT/?ObjectPath=/Shops/d371fedf-8194-4b69-81bf-42f2e364531e/Products/118"><b><i>body scrub</i></b></a> from the Orange butter range that I've never tried before. It says it's energising and at first I didn't really care but once I was in the shower, all tired and happy for my bed, after just opening the tub I was wide awake! The zingy, fresh smell of oranges fills the bathroom within seconds and somehow it changed my mood for the better.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The scrub has quite harsh particles in a jelly like substance. It cleanses and massages your skin nicely, it enhances blood circulation and brings oxygen to your cells. The scrub immediately made my legs look much firmer and the skin looked glowy and had a healthy colour after all the dead skin cells were removed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The bad thing is that when I was using it, it fell in the bath tub and nearly half of it ran out, which made me really sad. It is another product I'm happy to have! It is definitely great for any kind of skin type and it only takes seconds to use it!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicdxiRJEtknhAVrxo6XGWF9DRTWOJCcbSXGEFvW1aL36iRQnWrZdwZTlAyYM7CCWJ5LqIob2E3eNsaA910hG-JFl-SYH21OwyRxCSUWW09XT5WtrgYOxL0faOHD82YcHONJj2IOMBCl8w/s1600/_DSC0323.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="263" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicdxiRJEtknhAVrxo6XGWF9DRTWOJCcbSXGEFvW1aL36iRQnWrZdwZTlAyYM7CCWJ5LqIob2E3eNsaA910hG-JFl-SYH21OwyRxCSUWW09XT5WtrgYOxL0faOHD82YcHONJj2IOMBCl8w/s400/_DSC0323.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now the Ziaja<b><i><u> <a href="http://ziajashop.at/epages/d371fedf-8194-4b69-81bf-42f2e364531e.sf/de_AT/?ObjectPath=/Shops/d371fedf-8194-4b69-81bf-42f2e364531e/Products/131">Subtle Bronze body lotion</a></u></i></b> is something I've seen in Poland already ages ago and always wanted to buy it but was scared of orange patches. However, now I decided to get it and try it out finally. And I love it. This is basically a self tanning lotion, which is much easier to apply evenly than I thought. I used it a couple of times and it always looked very pretty AND natural, so you definitely don't get an orange skin tone, you don't get weird dark streaks when you massage it into your skin thoroughly. It is such a great product to start using when summer ends because you can kind of keep your tan for a longer time and/or stay tanned until the next one! I do tend to get really pale during winter, so let's hope this year it won't be the same. And I also just realised there is even a <a href="http://ziajashop.at/epages/d371fedf-8194-4b69-81bf-42f2e364531e.sf/de_AT/?ObjectPath=/Shops/d371fedf-8194-4b69-81bf-42f2e364531e/Products/131">self tanning face cream</a>, which is even better cause my face always looks so white and unhealthy, so I might also get that one!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiysXXevR7Jw8NLPOwh-EcsVA9URZ8X033S4kq1MVQ7nKk-z7Y8JL8X_aOF88R7QyxqjAFZxqzfLBsmU9I2IJW3AaA51Cv-Us83enYtI3dN-n5-wSnidaiQgdQkdeQRH3k_TTR1yNcvL7E/s1600/_DSC0324.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="263" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiysXXevR7Jw8NLPOwh-EcsVA9URZ8X033S4kq1MVQ7nKk-z7Y8JL8X_aOF88R7QyxqjAFZxqzfLBsmU9I2IJW3AaA51Cv-Us83enYtI3dN-n5-wSnidaiQgdQkdeQRH3k_TTR1yNcvL7E/s400/_DSC0324.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And the last product I've tested is a Ziaja<b><i><u> <a href="http://ziajashop.at/epages/d371fedf-8194-4b69-81bf-42f2e364531e.sf/de_AT/?ObjectPath=/Shops/d371fedf-8194-4b69-81bf-42f2e364531e/Products/082">regenerating olive oil hair conditioner</a></u></i></b>. Now I never go for natural hair products because they always make it look even worse, but this time I thought: You can't go wrong with a natural conditioner. So I ordered one and I have to say that after using it my hair felt really soft and other than that I couldn't tell a difference to what it looks like when I use "stronger" conditioners, so I might as well switch over to this conditioner now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is a bit liquid so I had to use quite a lot to spread it well in all of my hair, but the effect was great! I was really surprised. It really does what is says and I think that's important. Plus, it's so affordable that everyone should go and get this! You can also get the<a href="http://ziajashop.at/epages/d371fedf-8194-4b69-81bf-42f2e364531e.sf/de_AT/?ObjectPath=/Shops/d371fedf-8194-4b69-81bf-42f2e364531e/Products/084"> matching shampoo</a> and <a href="http://ziajashop.at/epages/d371fedf-8194-4b69-81bf-42f2e364531e.sf/de_AT/?ObjectPath=/Shops/d371fedf-8194-4b69-81bf-42f2e364531e/Products/083">hair mask </a>for a better effect.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To sum up I can say that all of the 5 products were new to me, I didn't read any reviews on them before ordering them and yet they still are all amazing! I think Ziaja really offer great products for such a good price, which is good for trying out new stuff! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Seeing the Too Faced Cat Eyes palette I grabbed it quickly before anyone else spotted it and I knew it had to be mine. Cat eyes. My eyes look the best with some winged eyeliner and touch of a coppery, or darker shade, just to give them more definition. Now, this palette has all the colours I need, I just need to add some black eyeliner and I'm good to go.</div>

This palette is perfect for autumn and winter and I was actually looking for a new palette for some time already, but just didn't find what I needed. I wanted both the copper and silver & black, but this somehow never gets offered in one palette. This palette however gives you three colour combinations you can go for, depending on what occasion, how heavy you want your make-up to be etc.</div>

I actually never use eyeshadow on a daily basis because I am often scared it will go wrong. But now I decided to try it more often in order to practice my eyeshadow skills a bit.</div>

I like the leopard print on the metal case of the palette, and it's handy size. It's not too big, not too small, and it just looks so pretty! It also comes with a small mirror on the inside and even some instructions on how to use the shadows together, which I find perfect, since I literally have no idea how to do a smokey eye or anything that involves more than one shadow.</div>

As you can see, there are 3 light shades for the base , then next to them there is a bit of a darker shade and the last ones can be used wet or dry as eyeliner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think the first row is great for autumn because of the brownish, warm colours that I also think match my complexion well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The second row is nice for spring and summer because of the lighter, purple shades and the last row is great for party make-up. And I was looking for silver and black for ages, as well as copper and for that reason this palette is just amazing!</div>
