Loving Right Now
Long time no see! 2014 is already here (can’t believe how time flies). I missed blogging, I really did. So basically … 2013 wasn’t good year for me. Nothing turned out how I wanted it to be. Why haven’t I been on here for so long? Let’s just say it in very few words: after almost 6 years I am single again (it’s been a few months now and don’t feel sorry for me, it’s a good thing and I feel great, haha) and well, crazy working hours. I barely had time for myself and I really needed some time, so that things can settle down a bit (moving, work, and all that other stuff, lol). I don’t really have any new years resolutions, maybe some personal ones I made for myself. As for beauty and stuff I don’t have any resolutions.
Below you can find a small selection of the products I am loving right now. I thought of doing a favourites post but to be honest nothing really changed that much (if you are curious about my favourites you can take a look at the posts I have written last year). To sum it up, Guerlain has been (again) my favourite luxury brand (their lipsticks are just amazing and their nail polishes), I found myself lurking more into YSL than usual though. Favourite drugstore brand is still KIKO. Enjoy some pictures now 🙂
Caudalie eau de beauté – this has been a staple for so long now. I love the scent, use it in the morning and evening. Can’t tell you how often I have repurchased this beauty. I always buy the smaller size.
Lip Liners – yes! Weird, totally not me but I am reaching for lip liners like every day, not kidding. I like to play with different colours and change the appearance (shade) of my lipsticks. Sometimes I am just applying lip liner and gloss on top. I use drugstore and high-end ones and … MAC.
Coconut Oil – it has to turned out, that coconut oil is an all-rounder for me. I use it for body, face and hair. My skin is loving it and this is my only makeup remover I am using right now.
Body Care – I enjoy scented products. Since I use coconut oil as my main body moisturizer, I only use those creams on specific areas, like wrist, neck, etc. I like the Rituals shower creams/scrubs a lot. They smell divine. The Body Shop Cocoa Scrub is an old staple and always gets repurchased as well as the Shea Body Butter.
Depotting – I wish I could tell you that I hit pan but no … I have to admit that I am just not good at depotting. Also it has been a lot of fun and I have way more space in my drawers.
Shu Uemura Essence Absolue Nourishing Fragrance – you may wonder why someone needs a hair perfume? This Shu Uemura one is different from all the other ones, it sets my hairstyle, adds shine and nourishes my hair, the scent is just amazing and lingers for a long time. Never overpowering or headache-strong. I want a whole perfume that smells like that! Yummy!
Perfume Oils and Samples – my favourite Haus of Gloi scent (forever) is Moon Dog. I could bath in this one and I just adore it. Perfume Oils are on my top list and I can’t stop using them. Perfume samples/decants are great for my purse haha.
Essie Fishnet Stockings – the perfect red and a must have for anyone who loves vintage and red nail polishes. This one wasn’t my most worn nail polish though. But that one deserves a post … it is from YSL.
Black! – Black is a colour I love wearing. It actually is my favourite colour for clothes, especially dresses. Currently enjoying anything with black lace. Adore it.
Hope you are all doing well and I wish you all a wonderful year 2014!
Hi! It was so nice to see you pop up in my feed again. I did wonder where you’d been and I’m sorry that things got rough for you but it’s a new year and a new start and there are quite possibly better things around the corner 🙂 On a beauty note, I tried and didn’t like the Caudalie Beauty Elixir but the L’Wren Scott bottle was gorgeous!
Hi Paris 🙂 That Caudalie product is like everywhere now but it is a staple of mine for so long. Too bad you didn’t liked it but we have a lot of toners to choose from nowadays anyway haha. Yes, let be 2014 a good year for everyone ❤
Claire you’re back!! Bad stuff be gone, and may 2014 be a rosy one for you! Love that nail colour on your hands, and depotting. I’ve broken so many beautiful makeup, and yet, it’s so addictive, I still continued to do so. Saves so much space though 🙂
Hi Lily 🙂 yes, I am back and I missed blogging and catching up with fellow bloggers haha. I much prefer (most of the time) depotted products, takes so much less space. I adore red … you know … 😛
Hey you!! Good to see your post again.
Happy belated new year and hope 2014 treats all of us better.
I love the essie nail color and it looks especially nice on you. 🙂
Hi Lena 🙂 Happy belated new year to you as well! I really hope 2014 is going to be a good year for everyone. That Essie shade is one of my favs Essie nail polishes xxx
Claire! I am so happy you are back. 🙂 Looking forward to your posts and hoping this new year is full of wonderfulness!
Belly!! I have many ideas for my future posts and I hope to ‘finally’ post them all, haha. Missed blogging so much xxx
Hi Claire, Great favorites! 🙂 I am also pretty much using only coconut oil as a makeup remover these days. What is your favorite brand? I started with RMS’s coconut oil, but it is pricey so I got some from my local health food store but haven’t tried it yet. Wishing you all the best in 2014 🙂
Hello 🙂 I used to use the RMS coconut oil as well, that was the product that got me back to natural makeup removers actually. I agree, it is a bit expensive. I use a simple organic raw coconut oil, different brands. I don’t have a fav coconut oil brand, it is important that it is raw and organic, haha. Wish you a wonderful year 2014 ❤ 🙂
Hey Claire, it’s nice to read a new post from you! I’m so sorry to hear about how rough 2013 was for you, but I hope you’ll get back on your feet soon! I’d love to try coconut oil for my hair at some point. It sounds like a fantastic natural approach 🙂
Hi Sunny! I prefer coconut oil over all my other makeup removers by now. It works fantastic and makes my skin so soft xxx
Hi Claire, welcome back! Good to see you again and I’m sorry about 2013 not being so great. Hope this will be a fresh year full of great things. 🙂
Hi Liz 🙂 I am glad that I finally have the time to blog again. I hope so as well, let 2014 be great for everyone! xxx
