I feel like it's a more boring selection of monthly favourites this time. I still used most of the things from the October favourites, so I won't repeat them with the exception of Rimmel's lipstick. However, I have been using some new products that I got lately, but those will be a part of the upcoming New In post, so keep your eyes peeled...

I got this as a gift for someone, but I had to share them here because they are so damn cute. These are little rose shaped bath soaps that I got in Jysk (European furniture and home decoration shops). You're supposed to pop them into a bath like a bath bomb. They have that generic rose scent that I'm not a fan of,...

I'm more of a salon brands buff myself, but that doesn't mean I don't use drugstore conditioners. I've tried so many and not a lot actually impress me, but these are the five I think are some of the best drugstores have to offer. These are for those with dry(ish) hair or ends, who don't want to track down salon treatments, but just...

I did a little interview/guest post for The Budget Diary blog. The lovely Megan contacted me and asked me to do a selection of drugstore products I'd buy with 50 € if I had no makeup. She plans to do a whole series with other bloggers, so subscribe to her if you want to see more of these. I'll post just a recap...

I meant to do an update on Balea Tropische Früchte Badezauber earlier, but it slipped my mind. Perhaps, because it it rather, well, unremarkable. Balea launched three bath products earlier this year: an exotic vanilla oil bath, fresh orange bath "magic" and this one with a tropical scent. One of it's good qualities is that the scent is really lovely. It feels like...

I am the worst when it comes to face masks. I always forget to use them and then remember it's been a month(s) since I used one or I use them only when I need to treat something. Plus, as someone who wears glasses, I find the whole leave-for-10+-minutes-thing utterly annoying. Therefore, I have neither used many nor do I own a lot...

1. Tigi Catwalk Oatmeal Honey Conditioner & Mask I bought several of these conditioners and shampoos before they were discontinued and they were definitely one of my favourites. They revamped the line and added a hair mask to the original shampoo and conditioner. I think I'll get the mask first as I need some heavy duty stuff from a salon brand. By the...

I was looking for a nice dark burgundy shade for this autumn and upon checking every such shade in the drugstore, I decided on Essence's 113 Do You Speak Love? I was holding Essie's Burgundy and one S-he shade that I could tell you the name of the shade if I hadn't forgotten it a second later due to their stupid naming of the...

It's all about drugstore hair products today. Got2b had most of their product either 30% off in my local supermarket or 50% off in DM (via the points system valid for November and December) and I decided to try some of their stuff. I was planning to get some other styling products, but I'm really glad I bought these. I think I'll try...

This might just be my new favourite (cream) blush. Well, at least I'm certain it will be my most worn blush. Met Maybelline's Dream Blush in Peach (my most worn blush) cousin. Both are cream blushes which I prefer to powder ones because they are so easy and quick to apply. They have a very similar texture, except Bourjois one feels like it has more...

I've mentioned before that though I'm not much of an eyeshadow person (UD's Naked Basic sort of changed that), I wear black eyeshadow close to the lash line to create the invisible eyeliner effect. Recently, I dug out from my stash L'Oreal's Super Liner Carbon Gloss eyeliner because I wanted a more intense line (I would use my Essence gel eyeliner but I discovered...

I already said in my favourites that if I was allowed to own just one eyeshadow palette, this would be it. I'm not much of an eyeshadow person, mostly because my eyes are hooded and I see no point in applying anything else than an eyeliner, but Basic palette has been a part of my every day routine since I got it. For...
