L'OREAL Paradise Extatic Mascara While I agree with most that in terms of effect this is one of the best mascaras in the drugstore, I find it's too expensive (15 €) and what I resent a lot more si that it's dry within two months. European version also has less product than the US version and it's costs more, which I don't intend to support. There are plenty of similarly great mascaras that I'll buy instead. Repurchase: Maybe, but unlikely. CATRICE Liquid Eyeliner My favourite liquid eyeliner and the second in a row I've used up. It's very black, matte and lasts perfectly on the lids. Repurchase: Done. BALEA Refreshing Wash Gel Erfrischendes Washgel A great and simple gel cleanser with a skin friendly pH that I use as my second cleanser after oil. The only minus is the men's cologne kind of scent (strong and fresh), but I got used to it. Repurchase: Done . SECRET KEY Starting Treatment Essence Rose Edition I've gone through two 30 ml samples that ...

Body SOAP & GLORY Smoothie Star Body Spray I've used up a scrub from this line whose scent wasn't my favourite (maple syrup at first, but with age more like coffee), so I took a risk this smells nicer because it had very favourable reviews. It is very different, much stronger and vanilla based. I think it reminds me of  Kenzo Amour, so a mix of heavy vanilla notes with some oriental tones that make it more perfume-y rather than a gourmand, but it's also got this calming powdery type of note that makes it super cosy, like a warm blanket among scents. It's very warm and homey, basically a typical late autumn/ winter/ Christmas time type of scent, for the summer it's just way too much. Given that it's vanilla based and very strong, staying power is good, so for 5 €, you get like a proper perfume (it's a 100 ml bottle). Boots International, £4.00 SOAP & GLORY Scrub 'Em and Leave 'Em Body Buff I had a travel size of this, so it's technically ...

MAYBELLINE Fit Me Poreless + Matte 100 Warm Ivory I already have a full review about this, but of the shade 110 Porcelain which is the lightest we can get in Slovenia. I'm completely in love with this foundation, it's definitely up there tied with Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum as my favourite, it might be my all-time fave, I still need to see how it works all year round, but it's my preferred choice this summer. After years I finally had the chance to visit Austrian drugstores, which I realised now have almost identical assortment of products as Slovenia, so I was disappointed, but they do have three additional shades of this foundation, 100, 102 and 105. I have finally found my prefect match in both formula and colour - people, it's a miracle! 100 is almost the same as Fit Me Luminous + smooth version 110 , so about a shade lighter than Matte + Poreless 110 and it fits me pretty much perfectly. The undertone is yellow, but not intense as at Nars Siberia which is the ot...
