Coming in a shiny sleek pearl white bottle with so handy cap on top and containing 200ml of a creamy white uniquely and expensively scented balm it is my hero product when dealing with frizz and combating it until the next hair washing day. It is Neäl & Wolf Smoothing Blow-Dry Balm that is meant to help all hair types. Shortly, its name is SILK.

SILK puts an end to tangles and frizz. Hydrating wheat protein complex provides moisture, balance and manageability. Applied to damp hair prior to blow-drying, the result is sleek, straight and silky-smooth. Tiniest amount of the balm will do its job without any questions asked. 

Yes, it really works the best when you decide to blow-dry your hair afterwards, but I tend to skip that part very often and settle for the balm only. I take the dime sized amount and smooth it through my damp hair, concentrating on ends that get the most frizzy on me. Then I let it hair dry and enjoy what proteins have made to my hair. It gives a lot of strength and natural hold to hair, so it would also be especially beneficial for people who have fine hair strands that need a little help. 

Most of the time when hair is lacking moisture, it actually need proteins, so I find this product to be amazing when taking care of hair in need and styling them at the same time. Whenever its humid outside I get the most out of this product by applying little bit of SILK into my second or third day hair when its dry. There are no rules when using it, just what works the best for you. 

This bottle of SILK has served me well and there is still so much of it left. With the great balance between the price and salon quality of it, SILK works like a dream that everyone would love!

This natural body lotion, rich in sweet almond oil, was lost in my beauty stash since I got it at the winter time. Then I used almost half of it and continued using something else, probably richer body cream since my skin needed extra moisture during cold months. When I stumbled upon it few days ago, I fell in love with it again. Now, when I have little bit tan on, it shows up even better, how great this JOIK Shimmering Body Lotion with Sweet Almond Oil actually is.

As said, it is lotion, so the consistency is pretty liquid and quick absorbing. It is almost like a much needed milk on skin, that nourishes, hydrates, smooths and gives a healthy glow. I personally wouldn't call it a shimmer as it is luckily much more delicate than shimmer would be. The warm toned base of the lotion and healthy sheen running through it makes skin looking healthy and flattering at all times. 

Lotion is also rich in coconut oil and shea butter and its iridescence comes from natural minerals. The smoothest texture of this product makes it easy to apply and the warm sweet scent reminds me so much of raspberries or a strawberry milkshake.

New makeup bag post had to come as so much have changed recently when it comes into bag itself and the contents of it. When most of the hot summer, we luckily can enjoy in Estonia, I don't wear any makeup at all, there are always chillier night times and days you need little bit of something to look alive. During those days I usually reach for highlighting concealer (no heavy coverage concealer for me during summer), mascara and blusher. Base products have changed completely and not because I wouldn't love the ones I used before, but mostly because of the colour change of my tan I have gotten. Also, the benefit of getting your tan on saves you from need to apply makeup in general. 

So, without further ado, let me introduce you to my new Balmain clutch that I use as a makeup bag. It holds so much and looks beautiful. Side pocket can be used for smaller things or makeup tools like travel brushes, lash curlers, tweezers, cotton buds etc.

L'oreal Nude Magique BB Cream in 'Light' that I bought during winter time, but because of the shade of it started using it just now. It is supposed to be for light skin tones, yet looks really dark in my opinion. Too dark for lighter complexions anyway. It performs amazingly though - evens out the skin's texture and tone, hydrates and gives a healthy glow to the skin. I also love the fact that the cream transforms in contact with the skin and changes its colour from pale lilac to the actual shade.

Living Nature Foundation in 'Pure Sand' is an award winning natural liquid foundation that performs like a dream. It is a lightweight mineral foundation that gives a even and flawless coverage on days you need more than just a BB-cream. It has also benefits of skincare with caring vitamins and healing Manuka oil. Coverage wise it has a medium coverage, but is very buildable. Skin will be quite matte, yet healthy and fresh.

Royal Effem Bright & Bronze Mineral Powder has been my staple since my last makeup bag post. I still love my The Body Shop Honey Collection Bronzer, but this one has been better since I am darker than usual. It is so fine, silky and as the slightest amount of golden sheen in it that shows up on skin like a warm iridescence glow. My shades name is 'Rosa del Deserto Warm' and it really is a perfect warm shade that is really natural and compliments my own tan. I have also been using it on my eyelids to get a natural warm eyelid without any unnecessary and time consuming blending.

Mesauda Diamond Blush in 'Beyonce' is a new find for me and I couldn't be happier with it. It is a baked blush in peachy coral shade that compliments warmer skin tones and brightens up the lighter ones. I had been looking for a perfect coral shade ages and finally found it. Its warm base and dewy iridescence doubles as a blusher and a highlighter giving the complexion and overall makeup look the most polished feeling. Amazing find!

Shiseido Face Color Enhancing Trio is a perfect yet most luxurious thing to use when you are in a hurry or just don't want to spend a lot of time doing your makeup. It hides three products in a sleek compact along with the high quality brush, perfect for shading, highlighting and applying blusher. When there would be just one product available for me to use, it would be this face trio. I can use it as a blusher, bronzer, highlighter, but also master the eyeshadow application and end up with perfectly tone to tone natural makeup. Perfect when going somewhere and popping it into purse.

Avon Eyeshadow Primer is very affordable, yet good primer to keep your eyeshadow where it  should supposed to be. I love the fact it is beige and also conceals any discoloration around the eyes to give your eyeshadows a chance to be opaque without any struggle. It is creamy, not drying on gentle eye area and little bit goes very long way.


Dior Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Mascara that gives amazingly long and voluminous curled lashes. The black shade is also blackest I have seen and that adds even more drama. Perfect mascara for the days when you want more from your lashes than just being pretty and naturally separated. The original and curved brush makes the application and lash perfecting very easy.

Max Factor Masterpiece Max High Volume & Definiton Mascara for defined and voluminous lashes. As I don't really need a length when it comes to my lashes, I always choose a volumising ones. This mascara is something that separates, defines and last so long without smudging. It won't give so much oomph as the Dior one gives, but still is a good one on a daily basis. Rubber wand is also easy to work with even though I usually avoid rubber mascara wands. This one does the justice for itself!

Artdeco Eye Brow Powder in 'Medium' is also a staple product. It has the perfect shade for natural brows, not too ashy or red. For the longest time I preferred the pencil, but now I believe in a brow powder as it stays on longer, seems more natural. This specific powder makes the brow filling process so easy and fast, it has to be and stay as a staple! 

L'oreal Colour Riche Extraordinaire Lip Color in 'Rose Melody' is a recent buy and I love it. It is a liquid form of a lipstick, but really seems to be like a opaque lip gloss to me. Usually when you are looking for colour payoff like that, you have to expect stickiness of a gloss. But not with this one. It is really comfortable and hydrating on lips, but as long as staying power does, it is a regular one. I don't mind reapplying it though, so in my book it is worth the money. I love the shades that these lip colours come in and it was rather hard decision to choose only one of them. I opted for the 'Rose Melody' which is perfect dusty vibrant rose nude shade with the sheer cool toned sheen in it. And look at the tube, it looks like it could be a high-end product!

Clarins Rouge Prodige Lipstick in 'Peach Sorbet' delivers a creamy rich peachy nude colour to the lips that actually lasts longer than expected. While doing that, it also moisturises and hydrates the lips, leaving them so comfortable and plump. A perfect no-brainer nude shade you that I can imagine, would suit for any skin tone, without making them pale or ashy like a ghost.

This one was an spontaneous buy as I didn't plan on looking into British Hair haircare at all. I had seen it in the department stores, but usually walked right past by it. There's never too much of them when it comes to my haircare routine. And of course, every one of them has its own purpose! 

First of all, it comes in a plastic bottle that has a pump dispenser on top of it. Even if it is plastic, it doesn't feel cheap at all. You can sense immediately, it is a high quality product, originally meant for a professional use. Plastic container gives a benefit of carrying it around during summer time and not breaking it as hair serums often do come in heavy glass bottles. 

Ingredients wise it has coconut alkanes, that act as a natural emollient to reduce frizz and releasing shine during long period of time, macadamia seed oil, that smooths hair and defends it from heat damage and jojoba seed oil along with meadow foam oil to add shine. 

So, overall it promises to add 24 hour time release shine, reduce frizz, protect from heat damage, cut down drying time, leave hair shiny and smooth and fight against humidity. 

I didn't have much faith in it at first and went in pretty neutral when first time using it. The sweet floral, yet delicate scent of it was the first good surprise that got me. There has been times when I apply too much as my thick and coarse hair needs a decent amount to show results. I can apply it as much I want without making my hair greasy or sticky. Its texture is very light, smooth and silky. I can also imagine how it would make a perfect hair serum for thinner hair that are prone to going flat and weighing down.

Benefits list of this British Hair serum isn't exaggerated or fabricated, it does everything they promise it would do. My hair dried much quicker, even if I let it air dry. It wasn't frizzy even after the long humid day outside, but just to be sure I always apply it the next morning on my dry hair. It smooths down any fly aways and moisturises dry ends perfectly. Hair will smell delicious and feel silkier than ever. My take on it is that it works wonders!
