Favourite products for summer!

Hello Hello!!!!!

Now, before I forget let me just say that the winner of my giveaway was announced a couple of days ago (check the post HERE and my Facebook Page HERE for the announcement). The first winner failed to answer me within 48 hours so I chose a new winner who hasn't contacted me yet. Something tells me we might be going for a third choice winner...! We'll see...
Now on to today's post....!!!!! I recently went on holiday to a place I haven't visited since I was a child. Aaand...since I haven't been on a proper holiday in almost 5 years I was thrilled to be by the beach with friends and to enjoy the lovely weather.
What did you say?? You'd like a sneak peak...? Well o.k...here it is...


Alongside the lovely weather and scenery I also enjoyed certain products that I wanted to share with you all...!!
From left to right: MAC lustre drops in "Pink Rebel", MAC "Face and body foundation", MAC "Solar Ray" mineralised blush, L'oreal Glam Bronze in "Blonde Sun"* and MUFE Aqua Cream in number 5.
From left to right: Oriflame Blue Lagoon lipgloss in "bronze shore", Revlon lipbutters in "Sorbet" and "Juicy Papaya and Revlon Kissable balm stain in "Rendez-vous" 

Here are some skin and body products that I have been enjoying these last couple of weeks as well...

At the bottom: Avene Eua Thermale "Thermal Spring Water"
From left to right: Victoria's Secret Sexy Little Things body mist in "Noir", Le Petit Marseillais Huile Seche, Bioderma Photoderm Max 50+ facial sunscreen, Carroten tanning oil (Please note that I use a 50+ sunscreen on my body as well as my face. However I do use oil on my legs on top of the sunscreen...!!Never EVER go out in the sun without sunscreen...). Aaand last but not least the Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration After Sun with coconut and papaya..(it smells yummy and it is the perfect product to use after you have been out in the sun...it hydrates and soothes the skin...) 

AAAAAnd that is all for my favourite products for summer. Unfortunately I will not get to use these products for much longer since I am off to the U.K. in less than a week. However I have been majorly enjoying them hence why I wanted to share them with you all...!!!!

Make-up Clean-up project...

Hello my lovelies,

I have a post for you that I have been working on for a while. In the month of May, I went through ALL of my products (make-up, skincare, body care etc) and put together a bag of items that were either empty or had gone bad as well as products that I haven't used for over 12 months.
I hate clutter so this clean-up project felt sooo good. Now, let me show you the outcome of my little project...

I started in my bedroom where all my make-up is. This is the bulk of what I eventually got rid of. There is a mixture of stuff as you can see. For example my Garnier BB cream for oily skin which was actually empty, to the Rimmel Stay Matte foundation that I haven't used for over a year, to the Sleek waterproof mascara which I really dislike.
 Now this is what the little bag looked like with all those items in it.

I, then, proceeded to the bathroom where I went through all of the rest of my products. I went through some make-up bags and wash-bags aaaaaand...

I found some empties.......
And some other products that had been sitting there for waaaay too long....
This is what my little bad looked like at the end of my make-up clean-up project. 


I challenge you to go through your products and get rid of all the things that create clutter. 
During this process, I realised, that I really don't need to keep items that don't work for me and keep revisiting them in the hope that I will, eventually, love them. Sometimes you just have to let go....

I hope you liked this post. Let me know if you are planning to start your own make-up clean-up project...
