My Glowy Skin Must Haves (Works even when I'm tired!)

Hello beauties!

In this post I'd like to share with you my must-have beauty & makeup products for glowy skin.

These are all really fantastic products, as they help my skin look super fresh & glowy even on those days when I'm feeling tired.

I now have quite dry skin and I find I need to use makeup products that will also hydrate my skin and that make it look plumped. If I use some drying products, it just doesn't look good because they don't apply evenly on my skin.

HERE IS MY GLOWY SKIN KIT:

These products include a good primer, BB cream, radiant concealer and a creamy highlighter.

On my eye area, I apply the Golden Touch 24 K Firming Eye Serum by Adore Cosmetics, which acts as a good primer and  instantly smoothes all the fine lines, making it possible to perfectly apply makeup.

As a face primer, I use Catrice Prime and Fine Instant Luminous Finish Nude Glow Primer. This is a liquid skin illuminator with long lasting power and pomegranate extract. It has a subtle tint and is an illuminating primer with pomegranate oil that gives me an instant natural looking glow. This can be used alone, or under makeup (I apply this before my BB cream).

The BB cream that I'm currently loving is Nude Magic by L'Oreal and I use the light shade. It's basically a 5 in 1 skin perfector and it gives a very natural looking finish, low/medium coverage, but even skin tone.

One of the best concealers for tired eyes is definitely the Radiance Reveal by Bourjois. I use it in light/ ivory. It hydrates, corrects and illuminates and here's another word for it: perfection!

My best highlighter of the moment is Kiko Make Up Milano Radiant Touch Creamy Stick Highlighter (#100). It comes in a stick format, it's very creamy, blends perfectly and it doesn't just sit on top of the skin, but it makes it super glowy.

Mary- Lou Manizer by the Balm I also use as an eyeshadow!

Have you tried any of these products? If so, how do you like them?

January wishlist: Zaful

Hi guys!

Happy New Year! I hope you all had an amazing holiday season with your family and loved ones!

It's the time for new beginnings and we have a chance to stick to all those resolutions we made for the year that's ahead of us!
My resolution is to be smart when it comes to shopping and buy only things I really love!
Sales are currently going on, but prior to purchasing anything, I want to make a wish list for myself, to help me keep focused on what I really want and need.
In a month's time, I'll have to reorganize my entire wardrobe, as we bought new closets for our bedroom, and I want to keep only the things that I actually wear. Maybe I'll be adding some new bits for this winter, and here I usually turn to Zaful.
As we're in winter, the days are cold and I'm thinking about warming up. This means that I'm on a lookout for warm wool sweaters and winter jackets and coats.


I like to browse through Zaful's offer because it stocks so many things at one place, it is constantly updated with popular new arrivals and it follows the latest trends...everything at very affordable prices :-)

I have $50 budget to update my wardrobe, so let's see together what did I put on my wishlist!

This white cropped sweater with embroideries is only $ 15.99

This stripped colorful sweater is only $ 19.90

These high waisted leather look leggings are only $ 11.18
I need a pair of black leather look leggings because mine are old and worn out. I tried them on in a local store and the cost was around $50 which I thought was way too much! I'm glad I waited a bit because now I found a really nice pair here!

This cool graphic tee is $ 19.49
I love it because it's very unique and great for those casual days & layering with a chunky knit cardigan over it!

The total amounts for a bit over my initial budget, but I still think these are great buys!
Will you help me choose what to get?
Leave me your comments, which one of these items is a must in your opinion?

As a little surprise, I have a discount code for you!!! If you fancy ordering anything from Zaful, just enter ZFNancy at checkout &...happy shopping! ;-)

Currently On My Shopping List

Hello beauties!

As you already know, if you read my blog, I decided to spend 2017 buying as less as possible and consuming the products I already have without purchasing new ones, if they aren't necessary.

I can say, I did pretty good! I managed to use up a whole bunch of products (empties of 2017 post coming soon) and now I sat down to put together a shopping list of the products I need / want to purchase in the near future.

This will be my guideline and will help me stay on track and not overspend on products I don't really need!

So in this post I'll share with you my current shopping list (from which, at this point, I got 2 products).

Caudalie Make Up Removing Cleansing Oil

Caudalie Micellar Cleansing Water

Both cleansers have great reviews on Caudalie's website, so I'm looking forward to trying them out. I ran out of face /makeup cleansers, so these were at the top of my list.

They're currently on their way to me as I ordered them online through Caudalie's website (better prices, great customer service and fidelity reward program!).

Next items are on my current wishlist and I'm hoping to buy them in January and the first months of 2018.

Clarisonic Replacement Brush Head

I love my Clarisonic and I've been using it in my skincare routine religiously for a couple of years now. However, I'm ashamed to admit that I've had my brush head for way too long! I actually replaced it only once (they recommend replacing it every three months, ugh! I better not say for how long I've had mine then!). 

Tigi Catwalk Oatmeal & Honey Nourishing Mask

I'm waiting to use up the conditioner I currently have before purchasing this mask. I have a feeling my hair is gonna love it!

REN Vita Mineral Omega 3 Optimum Skin Oil

I love face oils and I've heard great things about REN but never had a chance to try it out. When I'll be running low on my usual skin care products, this product is definitely going to go in my shopping basket.

These few items I'd like to get from Feelunique as I've already had a great shopping experience at that online store. They have great selection of brands, easy to find what you need, good prices, fast delivery, great customer service. They often have promo codes & deals if you subscribe to their newsletter!

Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate

The one and only, they say, but I've never had a chance to try it out (yet!)

I'd like to order it through Kiehl's Italy web store, as the price is a bit better than on some other web stores, plus they have free shipping in Italy.

Paperblanks diary for 2018.

This next item isn't fashion or beauty related, but as it's on my shopping list, I thought I'd show it to you anyway! I love to write in notebooks and planners and Paperblanks is my planner of choice! Their quality is amazing and the prints too! In the previous years I've had the one with the cats and then, butterfly print and for 2018, I'd love to write down all my plans, projects and ideas into this lovely agenda: this lovely print is by Mila Marquis.

These are the items currently on my shopping list! Did I say I wanted to buy them in the first months of 2018.? They all cost quite a bit!

Does anyone want to be my "Secret Santa"? LOL

Anyway, I hope this inspired you. My motto from now on is to buy less and spend on quality items that I really need and will enjoy using! I don't need to clutter my life with a bunch of stuff I won't even be using.

I'm thinking of doing another list for January/ February sales, only carefully selected items, to prevent me from going crazy during the "irresistible" sales period!

What's currently on your shopping list?
