Empties of 2017

Hello beauties!

Today's post is a little bit of a different take on the usual empties posts, as a matter of fact, I'm going to show you a whole bunch of used up products (these by no means are all the products I've used up during 2017, in fact I used up many more, but these are just the ones I've used up over the last couple of months and was keeping them for reviews and "Empties" posts).

I'm getting rid of all the clutter in my flat, that's how I decided to show them all in one post. Plus, it's the end of the year, the time is right to start fresh!

In 2018, I'll be showing you periodically my newest empties, not necessarily every month!

So this is the big pile of used up goodies, ranging from skin care, body care, hair care & so on...

I can't possibly write a mini review on each of these products in this post, but from this pile I did pick my most loved products that I'm certainly going to be repurchasing in the future and that I'd gladly recommend to a friend!

Balea Deodorant- Great product because it's aluminum free, yet it keeps you odor free the whole day long.

Nuxe Lip Balm Reve de Miel- I love it! I repurchased it many times already! It's a great nourishing treat for my lips, especially in the cold winter days. I like to use it overnight for soft and plump lips in the morning.

I Provenzali Line Seed Oil- I use this as a pre shampooing treatment and my hair loves it! It's one of the essential products in my hair care routine for years now!

Forsan Castor Oil- Another great oil for hair care, eyebrows, eyelashes and nails! This is another product I won't be without in 2018.

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer-  This is one of those cult drugstore products that definitely lives up to its hype! It's really good at what it does and pretty affordable! It's a part of my makeup collection for years.

Moroccan Oil Hair Treatment - Another great hair care product that my hair adores! I use it as a finishing touch and I'm always a little sad when I ran out of it!

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum- A product that is on the pricier side, but it's a great skin care product! It can be used before your daily moisturizer as a part of your evening routine, but also during the day if your skin is a bit drier and more needy. It's also great before makeup, as a sort of a primer.

Because of its price I'm not sure when, but at some point it'll go on my shopping list. It's very concentrated, a little goes a long way so it certainly lasts for months.

Caudalie Intense Moisture Rescue Cream - Food for my dry skin! I love Caudalie products, as I've already mentioned many times! I will have to repurchase this cream soon.

Lierac Eye Creams - are, in my opinion, certainly among the best ones in the market.  I'm always very pleased with them and my skin loves them. The under eye area is very delicate, so using the right products that are gentle enough is a must.

Ok guys, with that being said I'm going to wrap up my Empties posts for now!

I hope you enjoyed reading them and I hope they were helpful and interesting. When I accumulate some new empties, I'll be back with the post.

I suggest you to take a look at these reviews:

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! ;-)
