Weekly Favourites: I Want to Live in Paris


 When all the rush and worries about maturita (final exams here in the Czech Republic) is gone, there is nothing left, nothing to do. Accept entrance exams for college and many other things going on in my live.  It is weird not to go to school. I feel like I am missing something. However, without school, it means I have more time for you! I have not talked to all of you for ages and I missed it so much, you cannot even imagine.

 This week started in Prague. I was there for two days. I feel now more confident in this city. I stopped by in Lush, bookshop and my favourite patisserie called "Boulangerie de Paris". If you find yourself in Prague, definitely go there and tag me in your instagram photo, because the food from there tastes just like heaven! I kinda like this city full of life and people....mainly tourists (in the city center).

 While I was in the bookshop, I went straight to the section with books in English. I wanted to see what treasures it hides. I was looking through the shelves, when I saw THE one and only book I longed for. How to Be Parisian Wherever You Are. Okay...that is not the truth...I want to own too many books...When it comes to books, my heart starts racing. My arm just quicky grabed the center of my universe (of that moment) and I held it in my arms just like mother holds her child, pressing maybe too much on my chest, until I got to the cashier. I thought they do not sell it in our country. I looked on the internet earlier and could not find it anywhere and now I have it. Insane. I am more than half way through now and I can tell you, it is funny and it makes you move to Paris and eat baguettes or croissants every morning.

 Maybelline Color Sensational 527 Lady Red. I mentioned this beautiful red lipstick many times. It lasts on your lips (about half a day and you can eat, drink whatever you want), never smudges. I got compliments on in many times. It does not dry out your lips, which is very pleasant. I love the full colour of this product.

 As I said earlier, in Prague I also went to Lush. I bought bubble bath called 'Ultraviolet'. It smells like jasmin and violet. You know how much I love my flowers. I actually haven't tried it yet, but I think this Sunday evening is the right time to give it a go.

 The black bikini top in the photo above I bought from F&F. It was super cheap. I think it looks very chick and underlines woman's figure. Especially the ruffles. The midi rings in the picture above are from 'I am' and glasses from GATE.


Share with me your favourites for this week, I always want to hear it!


Love,
Lucy

My Current Skincare Routine / Favorite Products / Saviors


Let's just sit, relax and listen to Hozier's 'Work Song' on repeat, shall we?

 I decided to show you my updated skin care routine - slash - favorite products, because it has been ages since I did an article about beauty. Well, something changed, something did not. I have to say, right now - my skin is soft as a baby's butt. (haha) I cannot believe it either. I finally found out what types of products my skin likes. You may know I have kind of sensitive complexion. My two problems mostly are - I have oily skin, that means that on my T-zone start to show up some spots, or my skin is too dry. That means I have little flakes on my nose and red cheeks. Not good. However these products make my face look flawless. 


1) Saloos Lavender Hydrophilic Makeup Remover Oil (50 ml)
 The best product ever! It gently removes all of my makeup. It is like magic in the small bottle. The oil nicely soaks into the skin so your face doesn't look like a mirror. (haha) I always just pour a little bit of water on a cotton pad and after that I add only three drops of lavander oil. It does not irritate my eyes, which is really huge plus. 

 Once a week I want to spoil myself, relax, regain lost energy. This is the time when it comes to the face mask. My favorite one is 'Mask Of Magnaminty' from Lush. You can use it also as a peeling when you don't have much time, or when you are exhausted and there is a threat you will fall asleep looking like a Fiona. On you couch...or bed...or wherever you lie when you have a face mask on...
 I can deffinitely see the difference after using this product. It may look a little bit odd, however my skin always looks fresh and feels so clean! No more clogged pores.

 Rose water is not only great in the kitchen, but also good for you skin. I use it as a toner or as a subtitute for parfume. Is smells like garden full of roses. And spring...or summer. It is one of my must-have products. After using this, my skin looks way more refreshed.

 Recently, I had been looking for the right moistruizer, which fights acne and hydrates at the same time. I can proudly say: I've found one. About a month ago I was scrolling through 'What Olivia Did' blog (One of my fave.) and she had there an article about her favorite skin care products. At that time I was really desperate, because my skin started breaking out again. From that time it stands on my mirror shelve. It helped my complexion so much! Every evening I just squeez a little bit on my index finger, dot it all over my face and blend. It miraculously soaks into my skin in seconds.

Love,
Lucy
