L'Oreal Pure Clay

As a huge mask lover I’ve been religiously following the trend of multimasking. After a period of highly popular sheet masks, the regular ones have made a comeback in a new, innovative way. The trend of multimasking, which basically means applying different masks with different effects to different parts of your face (taking into consideration skin type and the needs of the particular part), has convinced me to once again dip my fingers into a jar and apply it on my face.

One of the biggest multimasking trendsetters was definitely L’Oreal Paris with its newest Pure Clay masks, which are responsible for many (scary) weird faces under Instagram hashtag #instadetox. The reason why L’Oreal Pure Clay masks are so popular is the fact, that they truly work great, they are easy to use and rinse off (even though they look a bit intimidating, especially the dark grey one). You actually need only 5 to 10 minutes for the complete detox of your skin – it can be during your breakfast or morning coffee, while browsing through your favourite blog, reading a book, doing a manicure, drying or curling your hair or making your evening tea. Multitasking has always been a thing us, women, are good at, now we can also do it while multimasking.

You will recognize the L’Oreal Pure Clay by their minimalistic packaging and 3 significant colours – peachy-pink, dark grey and pastel green. They all contain several clays and other beneficial ingredients for the complete detoxification of your skin. L’Oreal Pure Clay Purify mask has a light green colouring and eucalyptus extract, it purifies and mattifies skin, so it’s more appropriate for oily parts of the skin. L’Oreal Pure Clay Glow mask’s dark grey colour is given by charcoal, which removes impurities from your skin while leaving it with a glow. Both of these are great for removing blackheads and cleaning the pores. The third one, L’Oreal Pure Clay Exfo mask with its peachy-pink colouring given by the red algae is definitely my favourite. It dries out slower than the first two, it has an exfoliating effect leaving your skin super soft, while improving its texture. This one is appropriate for all skin types, including dry. The verdict? All three of these work great and I am confident each can find the best combination for him/her. You might even find some application suggestions in today’s post.

pastels winter outfit

Pastels are ideal to lighten dull, grey days and are a perfect substitute for the obvious and predictable winter black-grey colour scheme. You can mix them with denim, especially icy-blue that goes well along it. My favourite winter find is definitely this Loavies blazer, which is actually on sale now for only 10€ (a bargain!). Love it’s light icy-blue colour and double gold buttoning! While the upper part of my outfit introduces pastels for softness, I decided to pair it up with a bit darker blue. Ripped mum jeans together with my new velvet blue bag make a nice contrast, while still being on the brighter and more cheerful site.

red makeup look

Although, I’ve always been a huge lover of nude and neutral shades when it comes to makeup, I’ve been enjoying incorporating some additional bolder earthy tones into my makeup routine. Adding some copper, warm brown and even some eyeshadows with orange or red undertones, it’s been fun and unpredictable, but still wearable at the same time. While red lipstick is an obvious staple in most makeup bags, red on the eyes requires some courage. I decided to give it a try with the newest ItStyle eyeshadow palette and here is the final result. The step by step red makeup tutorial was created with the following ItStyle products:

ItStyle Hydra Lips Hydrating Lip Balm
ItStyle 24h Long Lasting Foundation
ItStyle Smokey Natural eyeshadow palette
ItStyle Matita Occhi eye pencil (black)
ItStyle chic & Colors Super Lashes mascara (black)

4711 Acqua Colonia

Even though nothing beats the smell of fresh baked home-made cookies and mulled wine, this winter season I’ve been enjoying two fragrances that are a bit different. The brand 4711 has convinced me with their two limited edition Eau de Cologne of Acqua Colonia by Mäurer & Wirtz. The Red Apple & Chilli scent won my heart in a second, being warm, sweet and spicy at the same time. While Plum & Honey has been warming my heart for the past few days, being a bit more profound/deep and sweet. Now that it’s officially winter, they both suit my mood nicely, being the perfect choice for this chilly season. I’ve always appreciated fragrances with an unexpected twist, they bring freshness and endless possibilities of mixing them up in to my beauty routine.

GIVEAWAY: Win one of two limited edition fragrances by 4711. Enter via Instagram or this blog post, follow me on Instagram and/or Facebook and leave a comment below. You have until 12. January 2017.
