9.My perfume is for many many years, Euphoria by Calvin Klein, the original version, however I am looking for a new scent, filled with amber and hint of vanilla, needs to be warm and cozy and inviting. If any recommendations, please let me know!!

Books and favorite Revlon lipstick

As long as I can remember I  always loved to read. It seems like whatever is going on in my life I can always "hide" in a good book. It might sound crazy, but I love how couple of the right sentences changes the way I think, the way I feel. Some books I can reread couple of times, some I cannot even make it to the end of the first chapter. Books to me are like people, we fell in love with their melodies..

Two books (mostly because of the author) that I really want to read:

1.. Dita Von Teese "Your beauty mark" link
2.. Elizabeth Gilbert "Big Magic. Creative living beyond fear" link

I think I will start with Dita.. To me she is full of magic aura, strong yet delicate, like exotic flower,  with her own unique style. Would love to hear her thoughts about beauty, skincare and style and get to know her a little better.  Maybe I will pick up some of her beauty tips and be just a tiny bit, just for  a slight moment  be just like her .My copy is already on the way !!

There is one lipstick, that I simply cannot live without. It is beautiful and works with my sad blue eyes.. It is  Revlon "Pink in the afternoon". I love,love ,love that lipstick. It is wearable light pink with  a hint of blue undertones in  it, that  surprisingly work with my warm complexion. I can wear it on its own or I put it on top other lipstick (like Mac Velvet Teddy).
I have that lipstick with me at all times.. in the bathroom, in my bag and at my desk at work..
Supposedly  this lipstick is the closest that Audrey Hepburn wore in " Breakfast at Tiffany's"..

How gorgeous was that woman?!

 What are your book recommendations? Or favorite drugstore lipsticks?

February Favorites

February is over that's why  I wanted to share some of my favorites for this month. These are just couple of products for skincare and haircare that I enjoyed using and made a positive impression. I am testing couple new makeup products this month so I believe March favorites will be more vibrant.

Hair care oils by Shea Moisture, especially flax seed oil and macadamia oil. I decided to change my haircare routine and made oiling my hair a habit. Its been only a month, but I can already feel the difference in the texture and "feel" of my hair. I used them every other day, right before I go to bed, just taking  a small amount into palms of my hand and spread along the hair focusing on the ends. The main thing that I noticed improved is that I do not need to comb my hair in the shower anymore!


Vichy Aqualia Thermal face cream. Picked  this up on my weekly Ulta trip :) This beautiful gel-like formula of the light blue cream is very hydrating without the leaving your skin greasy. I do love putting the thicker layer on the top of my serum at night and wake up with very hydrated "happy" skin.


Eye patches from Skyn Iceland. Honestly I didn't expect much from those, however when I took them off I said to myself "Wow, they worked!!" The skin under my eyes seemed hydrated and less puffy, right after 15 minutes of using them. I like to put them on first thing in the morning while seeping my green tea or before I am going on date night :) These ones are actually the only ones that I did see instant results from, and trust me when I say I tried tons of eye patches and none of them compares to Skyn Iceland. Higly recommend!
