Sea buckthorn - I like its concept, I like its omegas, I like its berries, I like its bright orange colour, I like its taste and what can be better than skincare with this amazing plant that adds the products all the nicest properties. I have used sea buckthorn based products before and had quite great results. Now it was time to put Bio2You products to test and see what the real deal was.

Organic Nutritive Sea Buckthorn Moisturiser with Panthenol is truly organic quite rich moisturiser with a good amount of product in a glass bottle. Being so concentrated that you need only tiny amount, makes it even more valuable buy when it comes to its packaging. Its formulation brings together moisturising, soothing, nourishing, smoothing, protecting and microcirculation improving properties. To be exact, having argan oil, panthenol ProVitamin B5, plant extracts, shea butter and sea buckthorn oil it reduces inflammation, heals sun damage, protects from free radicals, balances skin perfectly and helps it to regenerate its tissue. I was quite sure this moisturiser is going to be the bomb and didn't have to disappoint. I love that it is so concentrated I need tiniest amount - saves a lot of money and you can still use one of the best products when moisturising your face. Whenever I have a break out or two, it really helps it to heal faster and this is usually the time I most definitely grab after this cream. 

Organic Omega 3-6 Serum is probably one of the best of the best products I have used for a while. It claims to be natural skin antidepressant and when at first I didn't get it I now do. This is the serum I won't use daily, but only when my skin feels thirsty, dehydrated or really troubled. It is like a medicine for skin in need! Instantly after applying you feel relieved and your face looks so smooth and calm. I have done a series of days when using this and this really boosts my skin by healing every little dry patch and every little pimple or blemish scar. Omega 3 in it stimulates production of dopamine which is a natural molecule of happiness. I don't know about that, but applying this makes me one step closer to happiness as it smells so soothingly comforting and I always know I will wake up to much nicer skin. This serum also proved itself even more when I was struggling with a cold sore. I usually don't like cols sore creams as they are full of chemicals and only help when applied really early. But this product, reapplied over and over again, healed my full blown cold sore within a day. I was left with little dry mark next to my lip and couldn't be more happy about this find.

Have you tried anything based on sea buckthorn oil? Loved it?

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.

Brand called Domina Elegans is fairly new, but already quite well known and awarded natural beauty brand from Estonia. It has been created by doctors and scientists who believe that the best inspiration and ingredients come from nature. Their skincare philosophy is to give the skin all that it needs to be healthy and radiant, and to pamper it softly without synthetic preservatives and only the best components from the nature. 

As you can see I have Domina Elegans 4D Universal Revitalising Face Cream from their Natural Beauty line. What makes this cream so special and to stand out from the others in the market is patented natural emulsion HYDRESIA® (safflower oleosomes), cold-pressed natural oils, silk protein and Dead Sea minerals that promise to regenerate and revitalise the cellular structure of the skin by promoting skin cell metabolism and collagen synthesis. 

I have used this cream day and night for couple of months now and am absolutely in love with it. But this love relationship didn't come easy for me! When I first got it I fell in love with its refreshing yet natural scent, almost reminds me fresh cucumbers. The freshness totally came into play when I applied this cream for the first time, it was so calming, soothing and uplifting on my skin. Even though it feels amazingly full of nurturing ingredients, I felt that my drier areas needed more moisture and I was confused. I always found myself reapplying this cream on my drier areas and also wanted to reach for my other, much richer, moisturisers, but continued to use this one. Within few days I noticed I didn't get the drier areas anymore! My skin felt completely hydrated, balanced, calm and smooth. 

During the time I noticed this cream makes a beautiful base for a makeup and can also be applied around the eyes. It takes care of the tired and dull skin immediately and also gives the instant relief to my allergies and puffiness around eyes, also due to allergies. 

Overall I believe that everyone could benefit from this cream, hence the name 'Universal'. When your skin is oilier it really needs some nourishment and hydration to calm the oil production down and this face cream would be perfect one to do that! When your skin is drier, give this cream some time to adjust with your needs and you won't regret it.

While waiting impatiently for summer to arrive we can already peek into upcoming autumn. There are no rules in makeup, so you can wear whatever look no matter what the current season is. So be inspired!

These are some of the makeup looks from the 2014 Fall Runways. Some of them are over the top and daring, but most of them are very wearable and minimalistic. What's your favourite?
