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?
