🍂 NEW BLOG POST: BENECOS LIPBALMS REVIEW 🍂

🍂 NEW BLOG POST: BENECOS LIPBALMS REVIEW 🍂

.
.

As you may know, lipbalms are one of those beauty products I use a lot and while I do have certain lipbalms which are my favorite and I keep going back to, I also enjoy trying as many new ones as possible.

.
.

I've been enjoying these @benecos_official lipbalms for a while now - each unique in its scent(or lack of any in the case of Classic one), and the Raspberry and Vanilla ones easily mixed together for a new charming scent.

.
.

The texture of these lipbalms is on a more waxy, hard side, yet that doesn't stop these lipbalms from providing a soft, nourishing feeling on the lips. And, given the harder texture, they last longer as well.

.
.

The lipbalms are formulated with the same ingredients; the difference being only that ingredient, which provides scent/identity of a lipbalm. The ingredients used in these lipbalms are perfect for nourishing, hydrating and softening results on the lips: olive oil, jojoba oil, castor seed oil sunflower oil, shea butter and cocoa butter.

.
.

Are lipbalms essential beauty products for you? Have you had a chance to try any of the Benecos Lipbalms yet? How did you like them? Let me know!

🌻 NEW BLOG POST: MY CURRENT MAKEUP ROUTINE 🌻

It's been a while since I posted my current makeup routine, hasn't it? It was all the way back in December 2019. When everythings was different. Normal.

.

While there's still nearly a month left of Summer, the change of seasons is already in the air. This Summer hasn't been really hot, but nonetheless it was and still is time for Summer makeup - not just the Summer colors, bright and perky, but textures and formulations as well: dry, powdery ones. Makeup look: minimal and light.

🌻 NEW BLOG POST: BENECOS IT PIECES PALETTE REVI

🌻 NEW BLOG POST: BENECOS IT PIECES PALETTE REVIEW 🌻

.
.

The evenings are getting a bit chilly, the leaves are slowly losing the lush green color, there's a hint of Autumn felt, but we're still promised nearly a month of Summer. And therefore I think it appropriate to share with you a very Summer-like (due to dry formulation of the products) Benecos IT Pieces Palette and a few compartments I've collected along the way.

.
.

The @benecos_official It Pieces Palette offers a small palette and quite a number of refill products to fill out this palette- with a lot of combinations, whether it's eyeshadows, compact powders, highlighters, blushes or a mixture of any of these. All of these refills are really affordable, making it much easier to collect a full palette consisting of various makeup products. So, which products for the @benecosuk IT Pieces Palette did I get?

.
.

• IT Pieces Refillable Makeup Palette (Empty)
• Natural Compact Powder in Cold Biege and Warm Sand
• Natural Highlighter in Golddust and Shooting Star
• Natural Blush in Rose Please + Blush Brush
• Eyeshadow in Whipped Cream
• Mascara in Fun Size

.
.

The lipbalms are just there, on the photos cos they are so cute. Review soon though. 😛

🌻 NEW BLOG POST: ERE PEREZ MORINGA ALL-BEAUTY C

🌞 NEW BLOG POST: RANDOM THOUGHTS FOR THE MONTH

🌞 NEW BLOG POST: RANDOM THOUGHTS FOR THE MONTH OF JULY 🌞

.

• What I've been up to?
On the surface, things seem kinda the same. Until you grab a mask on your way to the store and see others waering it too. And sometimes seeing others wearing a mask makes you feel a bit relieved like phew, it's not just in my head. Strange. // I am having a hard time comprehending many things this year, including how much of this year has already passed. // How blessed I am by God for being able to go to my country house any time I want, wander around the deep forest... // Hope and faith. And love. Reading God's word, immersing myself into God's word...

• Bible verse of the month:
"But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you. " Psalm 39:7

• This month on the blog:
- @madaracosmetics
SPF30 Sunscreen review //
- My current morning skincare routine

• What I've been testing lately:
- @naturasiberica_uk
Hair shampoos and conditioners. Shampoos are those type of products that are used a lot and some natural hair care products are way too expensive. But not the Natura Sibetica ones I've been using for a while now and will post a review soon.

• My wishlist:
- @dr.botanicals
Hemp infused enzyme mask and rescue serum. Been curious about these two for a while now. I've been using an enzyme mask from @natures_kitchen_skincare
And liking @lovelulabeauty
Own Oils of Heaven Hemp seed oil so... I'm curious.
- @rmsbeauty
Luminizer X mini quad. The big one has been on my wishlist for ever as it is; the mini one is more affordable.

• Rant of the month:
- These two narcs, the scary and the crazy, are not letting up their thievery. And a Dunning-Kruger effect is in full force, as it is always the case with these soulless creatures.
- Bloggers, who are having their work stolen , are starting taking a legal route and suing every last penny out of these thieves. It's about time!
- Again, the opposite of a narcissist is not an empath as these narcs would want you to belueve in order to covert their true selves. The opposite is a normal, emotionally and psychologically stable human being. With a soul.

🌺 MY CURRENT MORNING SKINCARE ROUTINE 🌺 . .

🌺 MY CURRENT MORNING SKINCARE ROUTINE 🌺

.
.

By the number of products featured in this photo it may seem like my morning skincare routine is complicated, but it's not. These are the products I've been using for the past month or so, but most certainly not all at once or often either for that matter. While just in the past few days we've been having a more heatwave-like weather, it was still hot enough to opt for a minimal yet as hydrating skincare routine as possible.

.
.
.

🍀 Cleansing:
• @alteyaorganics gentle cream cleanser

.
.

🍀 Toning:
• Alteya Organics centifolia rose water

.
.

🍀 Masking/Peeling
• @madaracosmetics sos mask and regene mask; • @ayuminaturals turmeric skin polish

.
.

🍀 SPF/MOISTURIZING:
• @fomlondonskincare hydro and glow serums; • Alteya Organics light serum; • @mossacosmetics youth power booster; • @ereperezcosmetics moringa all-beauty creme ; • Oils of Heaven Raspberry seed oil; • Madara eye cream

.
.
.

Some of the combinations of the above mentioned products:

▪︎ Most often the first product used would be the Fom hydra serum - it is watery, light, fast absorbing and a great choice for combining it with all the other products. I follow up with either Alteya Organics light serum or Mossa power booster or Ere Perez moringa creme - these more creamy products are used when I opt for foundation (very minimal amount of it) - be it Madara liquid foundation, Lavera compact foundation or @inikaorganic mineral powder foundation. When opting for a minimal makeup look, I use Fom glow serum, sometimes followed by tiny amount of Ere Perez moringa creme or even OOH Raspberry oil.

🌞 NEW BLOG POST: MADARA SPF30 SUNSCREEN CREAM R

🌞 NEW BLOG POST: MADARA SPF30 SUNSCREEN CREAM REVIEW 🌞

.
.
.

Even though we haven't had a heatwave yet it's still Summer thus right on time for a sunscreen spotlight.

.

Green beauty connoisseurs are aware of the toxicity the conventional sunscreens pose due to ingredients such as avobenzone and benzophenone.

.
.

The natural alternative to such ingredients providing SPF are, for example, zinc oxide and titanium oxide - though these two ingredients can also be irritating and clogging pores.

.
.

@madaracosmetics plant stem cell antioxidant sunscreen SPF30 offers a strong sunscreen protection and acts as a nourishing, hydrating and antioxidant cream/primer.

.
.
.

Its texture is medium thick. The cream has citrusy scent, long-lasting staying power and has waterproof properties as well.

.
.

I've been using the Madara sunscreen cream for quite sometime now, both on my face and body, and I recommend it - not only for its performance, but also for an affordable price of £19,00 for a 100ml tube.

.
.

🌺 NEW BLOG POST: LOVE LULA BEAUTY BOX JUNE 2020 $🌺 NEW BLOG POST: LOVE LULA BEAUTY BOX JUNE 2020 ~ MY FIRST IMPRESSIONS 🌺 . . This month's @lovelulabeauty Beauty Box arrived with Summer. I think there hasn't been one Love Lula Beauty Box this year that I didn't like; all the products in Beauty Boxes from 2020 have been right on time and so are this month's featured products. . . 🌺 Oils of Heaven Plum Face Oil: newly launched Love Lula's own brand face/carrier oil. Quickly absorbing, softening face oil. Smells lovely, sweet, fruty, candy-like. . . 🌺 @kathleen_uk Citrus Cheer Bubble Bath & Shower Gel: luxurious indulgence for clean and soft skin. Delicious scent is a mixture of citrus and flower scent. Price too high, though. . . 🌺 @kmhumble Sweet Pea & Verbena Hand Cream: right on time, double right on time at that! Absorbs under a minute, does not leave any sticky or greasy feeling behind, just velvety soft, nourished hand. And a luxurious mixture of feminine floraland distant citrusy scent. . . 🌺 @elsasorganics Detox Natural Deodorant: an activated charcoal based deodorant - promoting detox process. Lessens perspiration, contains quite a lot of refreshing scent sources (lemon, lemongrass, neroli). Quite solid/hard texture makes it hard to apply, but that also makes this deodorant not feeling sticky or leaving any residue. The price is too steep for an essential product, though. . .

How did you like this month's Love Lula Beauty Box? Found any favs? Let me know! . . * gifted . . The value of this month's Love Lula Beauty Box is £63,00 but you can get it for a fraction of that + 20% off on all the featured brands!$
