I decided to make a different kind of post this time. Lately I feel like I am using the right products for my skin, which is very difficult to achieve sometimes (the variety of products out there for the same thing is big!). But after reading reviews -I always do that- and taking my actual needs into consideration, I present you some of my favourite products that I use almost daily.
This is a glimpse of my desk drawer. I use it as a beauty stand, where I keep my make up bags and the stuff you see. So from the left to the right:
Victoria's Secret Noir Body Mist. I got their little black make up bag probably 6 years ago from Heathrow where they had some travel sizes of this scent. It was a sexy, interesting yet girly smell. Playful, if I had to use one word. So when I came home last week (along with the Mac lipstick fiasco) I bought the 50ml perfume and this mist. Love!
Garnier BB Cream for oily/combination skin. I linked you the review of this product (Make up alley is SO helpful in these things). I really love this product for a daily use. I was introduced to BB creams last summer, when my sister called me super happy to tell me that there's such a product :p (she knows I love all-in-one products, since I am a minimalist in all aspects). So not knowing much about these creams, I got the one she told me. Idealia BB cream from Vichy. it's a nice product coverage-wise but it did leave me my skin shiny. With the Garnier one I am super happy!
Benefit POREfessional . My holy grail. This is maybe the best 'discovery' I have made for my make up. It basically is a primer that gives a mat effect to your skin (10/10) and minimises the pores (6/10). I bought my second tube long before my first one was gone. It lasted me about 4 months with everyday use so it's good value for money, in my opinion.
Apivita Hand Cream with mastic and balsam oils. The perfect care for your hands during winter.
Urban Outfitters Fig and Pear scented candle. This smells so good! Even though it is such a small candle, and I am afraid to lit it in case it finishes (lol) it smells lovely just leaving the case open! I would buy it again and again.
Toni and Guy Cleanse Dry Shampoo. My latest purchase. I had run out of my Batiste one, and since it is not available in my country to repurchase, I got of of the next best things. It has a very fresh smell and using it only once, I can say I like it- not as much as my Batiste though.
Jewellery-wise, I got my rose gold Michael Kors watch and my silver rings that I got from Asos, random clothes boutique and NYC.
That's about it!

As much as I love makeup, I'm not huge into skin products. I use Neutrogena Naturals Acne Cleanse every day and oil free makeup remover. For basic face, I'm sort of obsessed with Maybelline eyeliner/mascara with a plum colored eyeshadow, Clinique foundation, and a Kate Moss x Rimmel lipstick. Absinthe purifying body butter is my new best friend for my hands. Scents are between Japanese Cherry Blossom shimmer mist and "Love Etc..." eau de toilette from The Body Shop.
