I haven't posted a blog post on all the things that wait testing out or writing posts on before. Until today! You have to change things up in order to keep things interesting for yourself and for readers. Endlessly pouring rain behind my window and a hot cup of tea being my trustful friend, shall we start!

I don't like hair sprays. I just don't! I know you should use them if you just spent half an hour of your valuable time to make those lovely curls or amazing blow-out, but I can't make myself to use them. Maybe it is so, because I haven't found the right one yet? All the hair sprays I have gotten previously I ended up giving away after few uses. They always make my hair dry, stiff and plastic. Not to mention my hair does what it likes to do as it has its own stubborn brains and no hair spray would stop it! I got my hands on Macadamia Natural Oil Control Hair Spray that is filled with Macadamia Oil and Omegas 3, 5 and 7. I am not completely sure about this product yet, but I can say this may be the product that restored my trust in hair sprays. Maybe because it is full of oils and really lightweight when it come to its finish. Also, keep the humidity away from your hair do and that is very needed with this weepy summer weather we have in here.

Burberry Body Gold Limited Edition Eau de Parfum is something I refuse to put down lately even though it isn't necessarily a summery scent. It has top notes of green absinthe, illuminating peach and delicate freesia. Floral heart notes include rose absolute, iris and warm sandalwood. Base notes reveal woody cashmeran, creamy vanilla, amber and musk. Totally warm and comforting scent that has really powerful sensual twist to it. It is something you would wear at night or on colder months as its warmth with the sour sweetness can be too heavy for summer. As I said, I have found a true comfort out of this scent on these cold days and refuse to skip it in my morning routine.

Two products have cheered me up so much lately and even though there's not much sun out there, I still enjoy having brand new pair of sunglasses along with this sleek watch. To be exact I got to wear my sunglasses for 20 minutes yesterday when we had beautiful bright sun during temperature of 4'C that made me doubt what season it is. Just after that we got huge load of pouring rain on us and I had to put my sunglasses inside this nifty case it comes with. These are KOMONO Urkel sunglasses in Tortoise. They give an excellent protection and are so comfortable to wear as they are high quality. You know how some cheaper glasses can have a plastic feel? It is not a case with these ones, they are made with optical hinges and have metal core inside. Not to mention I love the warm dark brown colour of mine. My watch is also from KOMONO, Magnus Black Black to be exact. With its black genuine leather strap, stainless steel brushed matte metal case, quite big display, lightness and water resistance it has all the qualities a perfect watch should have for me. I love how the simplicity and sleekness go hand in hand with this one!

A true multi tasking product, Shiseido Face Color Enhancing Trio in RS1 has everything a face could need when it comes to makeup. Harmonized tones of highlighter, sculpter and blusher form the perfect combination in one compact to use all three separately or mixed together. RS1 shade has been described as 'Glamorous Bronze Luster' and that is so true. The blusher gives the right amount of colour to achieve that flushed summery look, the bronzer is perfect for warm contouring or just adding wamrht to the face. Highlighter with the warm golden undertones and finest sheen to it will give that perfect angelic goddess glow. This also has to be the first makeup compact I own that came with the brush that isn't a garbage. The brush actually is the softest ever and makes the product application effortless.

Some time ago, a clothing brand Seppälä came out with cosmetic line full of different products from body care to makeup. At first I didn't know what to expect from a clothing brand. What do they know about beauty products? To try them out myself, I got few items and started out with the body product, The Must Have Body Scrub with passionfruit & guava. First, they are pretty clever with the names of the products that are simple and not over the top, yet witty and catching. I wasn't even under the shower yet when I was amazed by the packaging of this body scrub. It is such a high quality plastic jar that comes with a reflecting silver lid you can use as a mirror. How snazzy is that? The product itself makes me probably scrub my body more often than I should. But is is okay as it is really gentle and creamy. The scent of it is what gets to me! It smells like an expensive Victoria's Secret product and has the whipped cream consistency with fine gentle beads in it. While scrubs like this can leave residue on skin (and I don't like residue on my body as long as products are truly natural), this doesn't. It washes off completely clean and will leave skin smooth and velvety! Well done, Seppälä!

While the weather is hectic and can't decide which it wants to be, warm or cold, sunny or rainy, my skin doesn't like this! And it takes everything out on me, like I could choose the right temperature for it. While my skin gets drier I always look into balancing products as I don't want to suffocate my skin with heavy creams when not needed. This Kris D'Amour Balancing Facial Treatment Oil has become handy to me when handling my skin's moods. I have used it only for couple of days, but I already see and feel improvement as my skin isn't so dry around my nose an mouth anymore. It has been formulated for oily, combination and acne prone skin so it should also sort out few break outs I have. I am especially impressed my the ingredient list it has: oils of jojoba, hazelnut, tamanu, seabuckthorn, apple seed, grape seed, juniper berry, lavender, petitgrain, patchouli and extracts of green, red and white teas. All to balance, nourish, hydrate and decongest the skin. Also in love with its comforting warm blend of scents I look forward to smelling whenever I use it.

Filorga BB-Perfect Anti-Aging Beauty Balm has been amazing to me in those two days I have used it! It covers well, better than other BB-creams I have tried and yet looks like you aren't wearing a makeup on your skin. Healthy dewy finish with the moisturising properties guaranteed! My 'radiant beige' shade adapts with my own skin tone perfectly and leaves it definitely brighter and more radiant. Feels almost like putting a good moisturiser on and getting the corrective part as a good surprise.

Garnier Ultra Doux Honey Treasures Shampoo and Conditioner are something I got sent as a gift and  otherwise probably wouldn't have these in my hands. Recently I have tried to take care of my hair with more gentler and natural products and Garnier isn't exactly pure. Also I am aware that sometimes really good hair products aren't 100% pure. A lot of times I am also guilty of choosing the ones that work well and aren't natural. With an open mind, I used these yesterday for the first time. They smell like milk and honey and are both really creamy and easy to use. No residue left into hair, really easy to wash out and totally fuzz free when it comes to using them. I actually liked them after one use and am sure to try them out for a little longer. They left my hair smooth and stronger. Not much to say about the nourishing part as I still needed to use my hair serum afterwards, but the strength of the hair is noticeable! Great for a basic hair care when you don't want to use loads of products, but still want great results.

Biosolis Self Tanning Spray is more like milk that comes out from a spray bottle. The thing I love the most about it is that is certified organic products with EcoCert and BIO labels on it. It has light yellow texture which makes it easy to apply, doesn't smell at any stage of self tanning and gives most natural tan on face and body within one use. You will look like you are slightly sun-kissed, nothing extreme and major at all! Actually it was a refreshing experience to use a product like this, you don't have to be scared of orange or weird shades and streaks. It can be made more intense and darker with re-applying the next day. Huge plus, it won't clog pores and even though I have used it once only I will get more into it and probably will notice even more benefits of it. I am happy with this product as it is hard to find an organic self-tanner that is actually good!

This post came out longer than I was prepared, but oh well! Have you got something new in your beauty stash you just got and is waiting for you to dive into it or just started to use?

Creator of Pi-Ret Jewelry makes her creations with great passion and that peeks through her every piece of jewellery. I have talked about her jewellery before and I am here with the freshest news on her adornments. She and lovely Stella from Stellarium blog tied their forces together and doing great work created whole collection of necklaces that came out just recently. Every piece of three has its own little story behind the colour and name selection. These are like real artworks in little white boxes! As I said the collection consists of three pieces and I have 'Jackie Wears Jeans' to show you. This necklace with blue stone has been dedicated to Jaqueline Kennedy and the fact that she loved to wear jeans. Who wouldn't? 

Blue shade of this necklace would add sparkle to every outfit and its wearer. It is very delicate, feminine and makes you feel luxurious - every quality that a good valuable piece of jewellery should do!
The design itself is simple yet sleek and could be worn on a everyday basis or picked out for a special occasion. I think that every day should be a little celebration and I will wear it with passion whenever I want! This necklace's most beautiful part is a hand-cut blue quartz nugget that compliments perfectly its gold filled delicate chain. When ordering, you can choose between gold filled or sterling silver chain. 

Every piece will have its own character. Being handmade, it is impossible to hand-cut two absolutely identical stones. If getting your necklace in a pure white little gift box didn't touch you enough, then the fact that your necklace is unique, makes wearing a jewellery like this even more special. 

This is my new TRIANGL Bandeau Neoprene Bikini in Pastel Neon Orange. It is called Winnie Arizona Sunset. I think that name describes it perfectly! This sure does look like a midsummer's sunset. I could talk about this gorgeous shade for hours, but that wouldn't be informative. So, onto the set itself! I got this a while ago, but have gotten really good use out of this set for the last couple of weeks. I love the fact it is bandeau as I think this kind of top is the most flattering and also convenient when sunbathing. No straps means no tan lines!

I also must admit that first when I ordered it, I was a bit worried how the top would fit and whether it would stay up or fall down too easily. It actually fits amazingly and you don't have to struggle at all in order to keep it up or worry about flashing yourself. It has been made of 100% neoprene which is little bit thicker material than swimwear usually has been made. While this material needs to be hand washed, it is so easy to do that and it goes clean within minutes. 

The benefits of this fabric and this bikini set are endless! It dries quickly after swim and isn't see through at all when getting wet. It has a flexible boning in a structured top that will hug your curves perfectly. Even though it is thicker, you won't get hot and your skin is able to breathe. It has back clasp fastening, but I also love the zipper in front that makes it easy to get on or off. As a lovely bonus it comes in a handy bag that has been made with the same material and is the same colour as the bikini set. Considering all that, I imagine this set of swimwear lasting longer than any other I have owned.

Most of all I do love the fact that with this bikini set you are covered up tastefully, yet you don't have to sacrifice the beauty of your bikini. As I said, I have always loved a good strapless bandeau, but very often they don't stay put where they should and you end up always arranging yourself. Sunbathing and swimming should be worry free and that is what this TRIANGL set offers!

I have always thought that graduation gifts could be something that lasts and something that you could keep. Or something that could be sentimental and for your soul. After all graduation is the new beginning and graduate's new very important step into life. Why not keep our closest ones in mind and give them something nice to make those steps easier and more fun. Here are some of the things that I chose. It is always great and much cheaper to make something yourself, but when in lack of inspiration I hope this selection helps you.

Both jewellery items come from Pi-Ret Jewelry who makes everything by hand and ties her whole heart and passion into every piece of jewellery she makes. Necklace is called White Lilac and contains long row of fresh water pearls complimented with textured baroque pearls which makes this piece completely unique. This necklace is definitely something to keep and something that would light up any occasion, casual or something special. It can be worn long or layered short. The Brunette earrings are something I have talked about before. These delicate pieces are made of kunzite quartz wrapped in gold filled wire. The warmth of the stone would warm up any complexion and wearing these would have the effect of lightening up any kind of mood you might have.

Hair straighteners come from Cloud Nine. I am a true fan of my regular iron and find it is the easiest tool to create curls, waves or straight sleek hair. Now they came out with The C9 Touch which has mineral plates that glide smoothly through hair. It also offers instant automatic heat and chooses the exact temperature for you- you just have to choose between higher and lower heat option.

Clarisonic Mia2 doesn't need an introduction. It is a professional sonic facial brush for clearer, smoother and healthier skin. I have had my Clarisonic Mia for over a year now and can't be happier with it. It has changed my skincare routine upside down and in a better way of course. Every time I use it, my skin feels so smooth, polished and it creates a perfect canvas for next skincare steps: toners, serums, moisturisers. 

Versace Bright Crystal Absolu Eau de Parfum more intensive version of infamous Versace Bright Crystal which is totally feminine and delightful. This perfume is fresh, glamorous and seductive with its notes of magnolia, pomegranate, raspberry, mahogany, musk, lotus, peony and amber.

River Island Floral Quilt Makeup Bag could be quite affordable yet sleek gift to anyone who loves beauty. This good sized bag comes in dusky pink shade with a soft floral quilt finish that compliments its golden zipper and splash free black lining. Golden River Island plate on the bag just adds this makeup bag more luxurious feel.

Floral Silk Scarf  comes in light shades and would be a perfect addition to any outfit in order to keep you warm on a chilly day or just spice up your clothing with floral patterns and silky texture.
