I will start out by saying that this mask isn't something I would recommend to people with sensitive skin. If you have, but still want to be rebel, maybe try it as a spot treatment. In that way I can imagine it working perfectly for you. 

First of all I didn't know much about this mask when I got it. I just decided to get it when local The Body Shop had huge sale going on and as I like to have many options when doing face masks, I had to get this new member of my face mask stash. So I chose The Body Shop Blue Corn 3in1 Deep Cleansing Mask and hoped for the best. What is it about this mask then? It promises to cleanse, exfoliate and purify deeply. While removing extra dirt, dead skin cells and impurities it also moisturises and promises to leave skin soft afterwards. It has tiniest particles of blue corn to exfoliate, kaolin clay to purify and essentials oils to treat the skin. 

I can honestly say it does all that and even more! I use it as a weekly treatment as The Body Shop suggests. I couldn't imagine doing it more often, as oh boy, it is strong! As it is thick, you won't need much so plus to the fact it will last long. At first when rubbing it gently into the clean skin, you won't notice much... other than pleasant scent of essential oils and the finest gentle particles that exfoliate. Give it few seconds and it will start to tingle on the more sensitive areas of your face. For me it was around my mouth and nose, but the sensation didn't last long and wasn't unbearable at all. It is rather satisfying and gives the feeling that mask works. And it does work! 

Now, you would think that such a strong good working mask will dry the skin out. Vice versa! Somehow the skin feels so comfortable and normal after washing it off (while giving your face gentle scrub in a circular motion) and the feeling like your skin can breathe again is something you will get used to when using it regularly.

As I said at the beginning, don't use it all over your face when your skin tends to get sensitive, is overly dry or you are just not sure. It definitely has antiseptic properties and ability to get rid of any spot fast, you can use it as a spot treatment you leave on for 10-15 minutes. Any trouble you had on your face the day before will be minimal in the morning, because you use this mask in the evening. Give it a try!

You might think this post is a long overdue and totally ruining the wonderful thought of perfect summer. But when I think about it again, it is the ultimate best time to stock on some great, trustworthy winter boots. May I introduce you my lovelies, Crocs Berryessa Tall Suede Boots! This pair of boots served me bravely during last winter. Even on the snowiest or most awful wet days that couldn't be called as 'winter' they didn't give up or disappoint me.

What is so good about them? First of all, they are lightweight... you usually can't get a good weather proof boots that are actually easy to wear and doesn't weigh a ton. Insole of it is so comfortable and hugs perfectly your feet while giving a good support. The actual shoe part is somewhat weather proof. I can't say they will keep your feet dry and warm when you hop into freezing pond with them, but walking through the wet snow or icy rain - no problem at all! The actual sole has the deep pattern and gummy grip to it, so you won't be face down when it gets slippery outside. To add up to all this I also love the looks of them. I would't go out to a party or important meeting with these, but they are match made in heaven for an everyday winter footwear.

Why I am talking about these now, on the August 1th? First of all, I wanted to show you these anyway, just because I am fascinated by the comfort, quality and looks of them. Secondly, as these are so high quality, they can be rather expensive. Right now these are on sale and you can get them with much less than you would usually pay. So ditch those ugly uggs that will eventually ruin your winter (or even feet) and invest in the boots that you can actually benefit from.

Want the smoothest softest skin in a natural way? Tune in! I am going to talk about the perfect combo that your skin will love and you will adore. JOIK surprised its fans with many new products and two of them are meant for the skin of our bodies, the area we often neglect when it comes to taking proper care of it. What can be the best way to encourage us to pamper ourselves more, than making body products that are natural, smell like desserts you are constantly thinking of and at the same time work better than you expected? 

I use self-tanners on and off. I like the result, but a lot of self-tanners have put me off because of the whole process and difficulty of. Some self-tanners deliver great tone and are easy to apply, but tend to make my skin so dry. When you have used self-tanners in your life even once, you will know that dry skin and fake tan doesn't go well together. Dryness makes the most even tan wear off patchy and uneven. During the winter time, when I feel the actual need to pamper myself and from time to time apply the tanner, the skin tends to be naturally on the drier side and that usually gives me another reason just to resist and be pale. Or I reach for gradual tanners which usually don't deliver that intense fast results. And you really can't see what you are doing there, so it is a surprise when you wake up in the morning. 

St. Moriz Instant Self Tanning Mousse has been a game changer for me. I use the 'medium' shade which in plenty of darkness for me as it is easily buildable, yet stays very natural.

Mousse formula of self-tanners glide on smooth, sink into skin fast, but give you the perfect amount of time to work around it to blend. The shade of it isn't orange or unnatural at all. You end up looking naturally bronzed for a about week. Meanwhile you don't have to worry about skin being dry or tan getting patchy and uneven because of it. Self-tan mousse just tends to have finer texture than any lotion can have and that allows the pigment sink into your skin more evenly and stay there longer.

Why St.Moriz? It is affordable, easy to get and has a quality comparable to any other similar high-end self-tanner you may be familiar with. 

Recently I got blonde again and therefore needed to opt for much more repairing and reconstructive hair care in order to keep it healthy. Blonde or not, my hair is naturally very thick and dry, so it has always been challenging to find good hair care that doesn't cost the fortune. When I discovered D.Vinity by Carobels Cosmetics I was blown away. They have thought about every hair problem you might have and they do it professionally, delivering salon quality hair care with a reasonable price.

I wash regularly my hair with D.Vinity Violet Moon Repair Shampoo that is definitely one of the creamiest shampoos I have tried. It lathers very gently, yet manages to get hair clean while also leaving it smooth and hydrated. When you thought shampoo doesn't matter as long as you use great hair treatment, this one shuts you down. It is like a cleanser and nourishing treatment in one bottle. Full of vitamins, lipids,  proteins, Argan and Palm oils its makes sure your hair wont't be stripped or damaged even more and prepares it to the further pampering you get when applying the mask.

D.Vinity Violet Moon Repair Mask is something that will make you hate your usual conditioner. Being is creamy, but not too thick, it replaces your weak conditioner that just doesn't cut it. Using few minutes in the shower as a conditioner or leaving on longer as a treatment, it strengthens, nourishes deeply and smooths down the hair follicle like nobody's business. The process of applying this yoghurt-like mask is like rubbing freshly cut melon extracts into your locks. Yes, the whole line smells like a fresh melon to me! Not the fake artificial way, but really true to life melons. Again, it contains fatty acids from Amazon fruits, lipids, vitamins A, B and C, proteins, Argan and Palm oil to ensure your hair will be treated nicely.

The experience of using D.Vinity will make me most definitely hungry for their products. The way you get the haircare products, that usually are available only at salons,  in the most convenient way by just ordering them with a reasonable price makes it even more official.

Latvian organic cosmetics company Mádara stepped up in their came last year and released three totally new skin care items, facial oils, to combat different struggles your skin type can have. Back then it was winter and I felt needed more from a facial oil than dry oils can give and put it aside. Recently I started using their Superseed Radiant Energy Organic Facial Oil and think you couldn't get more fitting skin care product for the spring time when your skin is probably tired and in a desperate need of a good energising cocktail.

The idea behind this miracle elixir is to contain 9 powerful radiance-boosting dry oils to give your skin a luxurious and youthful glow. This particular one contains blueberry, cloudberry and cranberry seed oils to boost the skin with antioxidants and multivitamins. Revitalising blackberry, black cumin and parsley seed oils pair up with skin-softening pumpkin, borage and golden jojoba oils. The product proudly carrying ecocert label will sink into skin instantly without leaving any residue or unwanted oiliness behind. It smells fresh like a cocktail of fresh berries would do and gives an instant boost to the dullest and neediest skin. The lightness of this oil makes it perfect for every skin type and would be a wonderful starter product to the ones who are afraid of using oils or think that oils leave skin greasy. This oil will help your skin to regenerate, stay hydrated and protected agains environmental damage and pollutants. 

Coming in a sleek yet simple box, matte glass bottle has a handy doppler that allows to get just few drops you need to cover your whole face and neck area. While this powerful berry cocktail for your face seems little bit pricy at first, it is heavily packed with beneficial ingredients. Therefore Superseed oil will beat any expensive high end moisturiser with its concentration and the fact you only need a drop or two to notice a real difference.

When it gets cold, it is time to find all your creamiest makeup products to avoid any flakiness or face that looks too dull. I am the person who likes to switch up when it comes to makeup and blusher is definitely one of the things that often gets replaced yet found again! Recently I have been reaching for the creamy fluid blusher that not only looks cute, but gives amazing flushed hydrated look for the complexion. It is MISSHA Sheer Fluid Blusher and mine is in Vivid Coral.

MISSHA promises, it will give your cheeks a natural glow, dimensional lustre and a lovely sheer colour. There won't be any sheen or shimmer you will notice in the tube or product itself. It is wonderfully made lustre, that looks like a beautiful shade and liquid pearly gold has been tied together. All of this truly makes this blusher a unique and high quality product to have in your makeup kit whenever you feel tired or look dull. You won't look overly done, but well rested and natural. Watery watercolour texture of this blusher makes your blusher application extremely easy, you can use your hands or synthetic blush brush to blend this coraly shade into seamless hint of flush on your cheeks!

What is your choice of blusher? Cream or powder, heavy or light, bold or natural?

Peat has been a natural resource when heating or growing plants! Now it is doing its star flight in the cosmetic industries. That means, peat in a facial care has gotten so popular in here. This powerful ingredient of organic bioactive face masks combats all the skincare problems you may struggle with. So, there are many new ones on the market containing our country's organic peat, one thing that has always been a part of our bogs. TurBliss is the company that has made its leap into cosmetic industry so fast, as it already won the local women's magazine award as being ultimate beauty favourite. 

The phenomena of this company isn't only the unique, sleek and creative packaging that describes the Estonian nature so well, but also the fact that it offers the widest peat cosmetics I have seen so far. You can opt for different face, body and hair masks, that have infused with organic plant waters to take care of your personal needs.

My bathroom cupboard has two face masks that take care of my skin hand in hand, keeping it pure, glowing and healthy. Both are incredible in their own special way!

Overall I couldn't imagine my skincare routine without these two anymore. They last long, make up the work of the different face masks I have hoarded into my bathroom cabinet before these came into my life. Whether you need your face mask to beat the pores, breakouts or signs of aging, TurBliss masks will definitely impress you within one use!

This is the perfect time to wear bolder lip shades and put your usual nude ones away. Whenever I decide to wear read, I have managed to reach for one and only shade I must be in love with. The lipstick itself is a perfect creation and everything you could wish for when it comes to perfecting your pout. It is Couleur Caramel Lipstick no 118 'Gourmet Pink'. The thing is, its not too pink, rather raspberry-like red with cold undertones. It suits amazingly with fair complexions, so you don't have to worry about being too pale to wear red lip. It won't wash you away, but brightens up your smile and skin… more importantly, gives you the confidence!

This lipstick not only has the beautiful shade, but also contains goodness to pamper your lips. As it  is plant-based and has organic jojoba oil, olive oil, shea butter, apricot oil, grapeseed oil and many more in it, your lips won't get dry even with the darkest shades. Couleur Caramel doesn't disappoint with the quality either. The lipstick has quite pigmented matte finish, yet feels so creamy, moisturising and long-lasting. It won't bleed, fades evenly and glides on with no effort at all.

The tube is another thing about this lipstick, that deserves the attention. It is not made of plastic, but recyclable good quality cardboard that looks classy and makes it stand out from all the other lipsticks.

Whenever the temperature hits the low, my hair gets even drier than it does during the summer. This only means, it is time for some heavy duty hair care that will be creamy, thick and super moisturising. I knew about Dove haircare before these one, I loved their deodorants and creamy shower gels, but never ever I had used their hair products. My loss, as rumour has it, many hairdressers have chosen Dove hair products for their personal use. 

As you may have seen, I have been loving totally natural products when it comes to my hair care. I can't put my finger on it, but odd things happen to my preferences as long as hair products go.  I always change up, but when quite fast tend to know whether I love the products or not. Sometimes the natural stuff is the best, sometimes I almost feel, my hair cries for silicones, to stay in put an silky.  To be exact, there is nothing wrong using silicones in your hair, as long as you deep cleanse your hair and scalp regularly at least once a month. Silicone free or silicone based, when haircare is good, it is good!

Winter time is definitely the time, my hair needs something more than natural haircare could offer. It gets frizzy, soaks up every single drop of moisture from the environment and I am left with huge pile of messy knots. This leads to me grabbing straightening iron, but as I want to avoid putting unnecessary heat to my hair, it is something I rarely do and tend to avoid.
This set of three creamiest hair products by Dove have saved my hair since I started using them. As long as consistency goes, they are creamy, thick and smell quite strongly when using. As you wash everything out, the scent will be gone so it isn't something overpowering at all. Dove is known for creating products with nurturing creams in it and if I had to say just three words about these products, the words would be 'creamy, creamy, creamy'. 

Shampoo is thicker and heavier than you would expect from shampoo to be. Despite that, it cleanses well, lathers up fast, leaves your scalp and hair so wonderfully clean. Have you heard the statement that you shouldn't actively wash your ends? I do it with confident when it comes to this shampoo, because I feel, it also moisturises while cleansing. 

Conditioner is the one I use always when it is not the time for the weekly mask. It isn't as thick as a mask, but comes out like a  creamy lotion. Creaminess of it stays into hair even when you use hot water to rinse everything out (I know, it is bad for your hair, but I can't help myself). Again, smells wonderful, but scent won't linger with you for a long time and that is good in my book.

Mask is a weekly thing for me. This has to be the most favourite one from all three. It is thick like a butter and you only need littlest amount to cover your whole hair. It kicks in quite fast, so you don't have to be bored at the shower when waiting your hair mask to work its magic. This one works magic within minutes! You won't feel the need for an additional hair serum or oil afterwards, the comb will go through your strands like a dream and your hair will be smooth, soft and tangle free for days. When you are in doubt or are not sure which ones to choose, get this mask! You will be amazed and next time you will get the whole line.

When it comes to taking showers, using a bar soap has felt more attractive to me for a while now. Shower gels can be easier to use and take with you, but bar of soap definitely lasts longer, feels luxurious and there are so many purely organic ones available, that contradict the belief of soaps being drying on your skin. Good soap is pure and takes care of your skin while cleansing it carefully.

For the price and ingredients in it, you will get more than you pay for. The soap is quite big and looks actually more beautiful than you would expect from a junk of soap. It smells divine and as long as you get under your shower with it, you can enjoy the richest softest lather that feels nourishing and creates delicate scent of berries lingering around you. It would be weird to give someone a soap as a gift, unless it is a soap by Mádara. There is so much more into it... this soap will be like a part of your body care than just something you would wash yourself with. It looks simple, yet sleek and luxurious. 

Beauty certainly doesn't only come from skincare, nutrition plays pretty important role in the condition of our skin, nails and hair. When you aren't very strict with what you put in your mouth and worry that your busy day gets the best of your meals, it is necessary to reach for vitamins and supplements. The best you can do while taking additional nutrients in a form of a tablet, is to search the greatest natural options that doesn't harm your health in any way. Lamberts for example carries a wide selection of minerals, vitamins, supplements to combat any of your needs in a professional and natural way. I started out trying Colladeen Derma Plus that is supplement formula for a healthy skin.

It comes in a box of 60 tablets that should last you for a month. What is in them? Anthocyanidin from grape seed and bilberry extracts, lutein and green tea are the three main ingredients that you put into work while taking two tablets a day. Colladeen has been especially formulated to fight against sun damage, increase natural collagen production which gives skin its elasticity, strengthen hair and nails in general. 

It was the end of the summer when I started taking these. Summer ended pretty quickly and temperature dropped literally overnight. While my skin wasn't dry or troubled during summer months, I always get so much dryness and flakiness when it gets cold. That usually messes up the skin and you can only opt for richer moisturiser and hope it will pass soon. It usually does, because your skin gets used to the colder weather and will clear up eventually. These supplements made the whole dry skin situation non-existent. I continued to use my usual moisturiser and didn't even notice the weather change as war as my skin goes. As a bonus to much smoother and healthier skin, my nails grow fast. I like my nails shorter and classier, it only means I need to cut and file them more often. I can deal with it though!

It is the middle of the fall right now and even though I am currently out of these tablets, my skin is still happy! I am only left with a bad remembrance of my skin acting up exactly one year ago when the situation was same, temperature dropping, central heating turned on, weather changing. I can honestly say, you will get longer term results with these supplements. While good skin care is important and supplements should go hand in hand with it, Colladeen will give a new breathing and a restart for your skin.

I bet everyone who has been in contact with makeup and skincare has at one point heard or even tried Bioderma micellar water. It has the 'holy grail' and 'cult product' status and I have always wondered if it really does live up to it. When I got more into it, I discovered there is not only one Bioderma cleansing water available, but one for every skin type. Of course, the pink one, which is orginally meant for sensitive skin type and called Bioderma Sensibio H20, is the most famous one of them. The other one is comes in a bottle with neon green cap and the solution itself is light blue. It should be perfect for oilier problematic skins and carries a name Bioderma Sébium H20. Long story short, I put both of them into a test to see if they really are so good as many people, mostly makeup artists, claim them to be.

Bioderma Sébium H20

Scent wise it is pretty neutral and I didn't notice anything when it comes to it. It should be used with a cotton pad and as it has active ingredients in it, you can feel slight residue on the skin afterwards. This won't clog pores, make your skin irritated or uncomfortable, but rather treats the skin problems. If you don't just have few breakouts here an there, but oily skin is a constant struggle for you, I bet your skin would benefit from it more than mine did (read: you will see actual results).

Bioderma Sensibio H20

Even though I don't have sensitive skin, my skin still loves this and I definitely prefer it to the Sébium H20. Why? I value the 'no residue' effect, the fact it calms down my skin (winter will be the time of irritations) and when comparing the two, this one feels more like water to me. Definite repurchase if you ask me and probably in a bigger size!

I have been in love with Mádara Cosmetics product before, but so far I had used only skincare items. I wasn't surprised when I didn't like this haircare duo at first, because I am pretty picky with my haircare. Don't get me wrong, I want to be conciliatory, but my hair just doesn't get the fact that they are just hair. I swear they have their own mind and character. Luckily disliking didn't last long at all, maybe one or two washes. Now I feel I need these two in my life at all times! Why? Read along!

Few weeks ago I visited a local fall fair where there was everything from food to clothes and of course, natural handmade cosmetics. This is usually the reason I go into these fairs, so many great and natural brands have come out in Estonia and started their brand by selling the products at the fairs. I have noticed many ones as long as cosmetic products go, but Looduse Pärl (means Nature's Pearl in Estonian) was the one that was unknown for me.

They offered a wide selection of products that included body oils, soaps, body scrubs, face creams, hair products etc. The lady gave me to smell every single body scrub and they all were absolutely delicious. Not to mention the pureness that makes them good enough to eat, I most definitely had a slight urge to taste them. As I was sure I will get the hair serum, I had to think for a minute in order to decide which scrub comes home with me. Decision was hard, because all of them were tempting. 

I finally opted for the Strawberry Sugar Scrub With Poppy Seeds and I am more than happy with it. Perfect hair product in addition to the scrub was a Hair Serum With Macadamia & Argan Oil. Both completely handmade, pure, natural, affordable and even if it is not recommended to eat them, they are pure enough to eat. What can be better?

The hair serum comes in high quality pump bottle and holds good 50ml of the product. Serum is a oil based mixture of sweet almond oil, macadamia oil, jojoba oil, argan oil, lemongrass and ylang-ylang.

It is smoothing, healing and softening while also adding much needed moisture to colour treated or dry hair. It adds a natural protection against UV rays and as a bonus gives a perfect fresh zesty scent to the strands. I have so many hair serums and oils as I go through them like crazy. My hair couldn't handle being without additional moisture, may it be a serum or oil. I must admit, I have learned to love not so natural hair serums as they do more to my hair. I know, in this case it is probably superficial as the silicones in synthetic serums create the illusion of healthier hair, but oh well.

This serum changed the game for me! It is like heaven and I have already used good quarter of it and continue until I see the end of it. And then probably order some more. It has the perfect balance of different oils and therefore won't make your hair greasy or flat, but nourishes them into the silky perfection. I add few pumps into damp hair and then let it air dry and it is guaranteed that I won't see any frizz in my hair afterwards. When my hair is dry I add a pump or two to my ends and will rock soft incredibly great smelling hair. Good tip! I usually end up putting more into my palms, so I can rub the extra into my hands and get them perfectly moisturised good smelling.

Strawberry Sugar Scrub comes in a fancy jar you can most definitely reuse after you have finished with it. Hint! Make your own body scrub into it afterwards. As said, it contains sugar that is perfect for dry skin or at times when skin gets drier, fall and winter. It also has red clay that has many minerals to tone and rejuvenate skin while vitamins A, C and E will even out the skin tone and poppy seeds help to get rid of dead skin cells. Strawberry powder has a lot of detoxifying benefits while repairing free radical skin damage, olive oil nourishes and protects skin from further damage.

From the look of it you can imagine how it smells. It smells like freshly picked strawberries! Not only makes it uplifting, but you will definitely be more persistent with your weekly exfoliation as this makes the whole experience so much more joyful. Skin will be soft, smooth and nourished as it is the softest scrub I have tried. Definitely will get some more if I run out, but then I will try the other three they carry: mandarin, grapefruit and chocolate and mint. Yes, chocolate and mint! Can it get better?

I am truly happy I discovered this small company and got few things to try from them. They do deserve so much more exposure as their products seem to be hands down, better than some of the other, more famous, natural brands in Estonia sell. I am also surprised how great the quality is as their prices isn't that high at all. I was little bit disappointed in local handmade natural cosmetics companies, because many of them have become too vain and expensive as soon as they get little more popularity, but this company definitely is a nice refreshing find that gave my hope back.

I have talked about Circaroma before, but never ever I have tried their balancing skin care range. Circaroma makes a wide range of organic skin care products, formulated for every skin type and many of their products are award winners. Their balancing range has been created to bring equilibrium to skin. It is especially great for normal to oily skin types and you can pick out everything to cleanse, tone, exfoliate, moisturise, replenish.

Balancing Facial Cleanser Palmarosa & Orange Zest comes in a pump bottle that holds 100ml of a light creamy cleanser in it. It smells very comforting, yet has the uplifting zesty scent to it. Lotion has a rejuvenating palmarosa and cooling orange zest that work together with hydrating rose water, moisturising jojoba and coconut oil. All that to give deep cleansed and purified skin that feel comfortable and soft. 

While creamier cleansers can put some people off, you should reconsider. As you have read before, I have been totally blown away by the cream cleansers. They do get deep into pores and natural oils dissolve any dirt, grime and even blocked pores. You won't be greasy afterwards, but are left with hydrated and smooth surface. This cleanser will keep your oil glands at bay and your skin won't overproduce the oil anymore. In turn, you will have less breakouts and irritations on your skin!

Replenishing Facial Mask Rose Flower & Lemon Zest is purifying mask based on kaolin and bentonite  clays that will deep cleanse skin while also taking care of it. While clay cleanses, the blend of deeply fragrant rose flower and toning lemon zest combined with soothing almond and jojoba oils will nourish and put all the goodness right back into your skin. When you first apply this mask, you can feel the creamy texture that comforts your skin immediately. It won't sting or pull your skin like some clays do. As it dries, the mask will mostly sink into your skin and you are left with light layer of clay on your skin that isn't dried out at all. It is easy to remove and you can feel how your skin can actually breathe afterwards. This mask would be a perfect step in your skin care regimen during the colder months as it not only draws impurities, but also balances, keeps it healthy and radiant. Gentle enough to use daily, but powerful enough to see the results within one use!

Have you noticed how many detoxing teas there are on the market? When you read a blog or two or follow some bloggers on Instagram you probably have seen some kind of teas being published, that all in all promise to cleanse your body. A lot of them won't feel natural enough to actually cleanse your body in a pure way. How can you do good for your system if you are soaking teabags that have been bleached in your tea cup? Yes, bags are easier, but loose tea gives you whole another tea experience. Teazy have come up with 14-day and 28-day detoxing systems and they actually call it 'teatox'. Here are my views on their two week regimen in order to cleanse your body and maybe soul too.

The 14-day teatox comes with two separate boxes. One of them is aluminum tin box that holds loose morning tea and other one is a sleek yet simple cardboard box that holds the night-time tea. These two should work together and complete each other. The promise list of these these are quite long. Teas not only promise to taste pleasant, but also to shake your body in a good way. You should feel more alive, have more energy, sleep better, have faster metabolism, feel less hungry and have a cleansed fresh body. That may or may not be the perfect start to start eating clean and exercising. It is up to you!

Ingredients wise, it is pretty rich and something for even the neediest tea drinker. It contains mate tea, ginger root, ceylon cinnamon, fennel, vervain, aloe, nettle, red currant leaves, peppermint leaves and ginseng. This concoction has vitamins, minerals, a lot of ingredients to cleanse your body from toxins, boost metabolism and immune system, protect nervous system and give you energy in a natural way. 

While I am a true coffee lover I didn't gave up my morning coffee, but this tea still had a solid place in my day. I usually drank it around the afternoon when I felt I needed another caffeine fix to carry on. This tea tastes amazing and I can imagine it being great option instead a morning coffee. It didn't give unnatural and immediate energy boost, rather much needed strength. It didn't upset the stomach, but at the same time you could feel your metabolism being a lot faster. In few days of drinking this tea many usual cravings, especially the unhealthy ones, will be gone. I associate this with getting the much needed nutrients and minerals from the tea and therefore my body is more satisfied. Unfortunately cravings will come back when you stop drinking the tea, but that is normal, because we are human. I am also pretty sure that this tea helped with my skin clearing up. Because of this I have been foundation free more than usual.

This tea had a lot more neutral taste to it. It wasn't as fruity or zestful, but rather comforting and calming. How it affected me? I didn't knock me off immediately, but set the perfect mind and mood for going to bed. Few times it helped me with the sore throat and a headache. Overall I did sleep like any other night, but noticed waking up earlier so I can imagine I needed less sleep to get rested. Not to mention I am usually the one who needs so much sleep in order to feel myself decent. Surprising!

In conclusion I would recommend it to everybody who needs a little pick me up in their health department. It am sure it won't harm you, make you feel bad or leave you unimpressed. These teas have to be the most multifunctional I have tried. If you can't feel one certain effect it promised, there's still whole list of things you can experience and be pleasantly surprised. It is also powerful, yet so gentle and caring to ensure you feel yourself your best.

My recent 'flavour of the month' as long as lip products go has been L'oreal L'Extraodrinaire Lip Colour in 'Rose Melody'. When I chose the shade, I was trapped as every bit of the colour selection was perfect. There were no shades at all I didn't like and this is probably because of an amazing and opaque colour pay-off that the product provides. 

L'oreal states that you can get the smoothness and shine of the lipgloss and colour pigment of the lipstick. While it doesn't necessarily cancel out all the natural pigment of the lips, it really has a higher pigmentation than any other lip gloss I have tried. The shade will last longer than expected and meanwhile it won't leave lips uncomfortable or sticky.  Overall, it is something I reach for when I am on the go and don't have a time or desire to spend over 10 seconds to do my lips. This is fast, easy and gives you a decent look!

These gems are LUMI bioactive skincare, based on the hemp seed oil that is known to be extremely beneficial for the skin, has been created with the principle to create a cosmetic line that is safe yet effective. Hemp seed oil is suitable for every skin type, but especially great for sensitive and problematic skin types. LUMI skin and body care range is quite wide, but only few days ago they let out two brand new products that form their cleansing line. 

After that it is time to the actual cleansing, removing the dirt that may be hiding deep down in the pores and exfoliating dead skin cells. LUMI Moisturising Cleansing Milk is a product that is more milky in texture and has a yellowish shade to it. To get evenly distributed product, it is best to shake the bottle before pumping it on your palm. Again, one pump is more than enough to clean whole face and neck area. The process of rubbing this goodness all over the face and massaging it in your pores is heavenly. It contains lactic acid and gentle cleansing complex that ensures deep cleanse, minus the harshness. Lactic acid is known for removing dead skin cells and impurities very gently. Bioactive herbal extracts will soothe the tired skin and support cell renewal. Afterwards you just need to rinse it off with warm water and you are left with clean smooth face that is ready for moisturising. There will be no tight feeling yet no greasy residue at all. Skin will be balanced, clean and so comfortable. 

Whenever I feel I need to clean out my pores and problem areas even more, I let this cleanser sit on my skin few minutes before rinsing it off. It works magic on my pores and makes them clean, appear smaller and smoother. 

Overall I think everyone who has even slightest skin issues should step aside from harsh cleansers and look into something like LUMI does. When choosing these cleansers you won't have to give up on completely clean finish you like after you have washed your skin. These ones are so effective and at the same time their gentle ingredients won't aggravate any more skin problems like redness, blemishes or sensitivity. Considering the price point, the amount you get and the concentration of the products, it isn't a splurge, but rather nice thing to do for your skin.

This summer I decided to got something more natural when it comes to suncare. I haven't had organic sun products before and Biosolis seemed to be a perfect choice. It isn't plain as many organic products tend to be and therefore you can get totally clean suncare products that at the same time are innovative enough to cover your specific needs. Biosolis range of products is pretty wide, but I chose two products that suit me perfectly and have been using throughout the summer.

Two totally different products both come in neat and high quality bottles with a spray cap on top. They hold much, but are small enough to carry in your bag or fit into drawers when not needed. 

Darker brown bottle holds Biosolis Oil Spray with SPF 6 in it. It is perfect to use when your skin has already been exposed to the sun and you don't need very high sun protection anymore. That been said, it still protects the skin perfectly and moisturises the skin while allowing it to get an even tan. 

It contains natural oils of Sesame seed, Jojoba, Argan, Rapeseed and Karanja seed which contains an ingredient called pongamia which increases the protection and broadens the UV spectrum for even better protection. While it is oil formulae it isn't greasy and sinks right into the skin, leaving it smooth, beautiful and even toned. This spray oil is slightly tinted so it will beautify the skin and leave the appearance of deeper tan immediately after application.

The other product is Biosolis Self-Tanning Spray. While you can find truly organic sun protection when you look good, I haven't had a chance to get my hands on organic self tanner before. First time using it, I wasn't sure about it as all the great tanners that are easy to use, don't smell and deliver the even application, tend to be full of chemicals. 

So I hoped for the best, but didn't know what to expect. The consistency of it is a milky lotion that goes on really smooth like any hydrating body milk does. It comes out slightly bronzed yellow shade, so you are able to see where it goes while rubbing it into your skin. The most satisfying to me was the scent of this lotion, it smells like green tea to me. At all times of the self-tanning process there is no typical self-tanner smell at all. But this product surprised me one more time: the tan it gives is so natural looking, evenly sunkissed while skin is moisturised, soft and smells fresh. Overall I love this product. As it feels very luxurious and works something like higher end product would, I don't use it too often right now. Mainly because I imagine how great it would be during winter time when I desperately need a warmer shades on my body. It works perfectly whatever the shade of your skin is and gives you a natural healthy tan while also taking care of your skin and beautifying it.
