NEW IN August :)

Hello! And another month has passed... It has been a really good month, I had some time off, went on vacations and more or less relaxed. The big bonus is also all the new collaborations and new opportunities that have happened meanwhile.. most of them unexpectedly... I did a tiny bit of shopping but I still ended up with a bunch of amazing products, so let's get started :)

One of my first purchases was this amazingly smelling Kozmetika Afrodita Pistachio cream shower gel! I haven't gotten around yet to actually testing it, but I did have a chance to sniff it properly and it looks like a very promising product! The second purchase was this really surprisingly good Borotalco Original Deo Roll On that not only smells nice but actually helps me with not having a bad odor or sweating so much! I wonder why I haven't tried this product sooner as it has really impressed me! This was followed by a couple of repurchases - Labello Pure&Natural Olive &Lemon lip balm, which I have had for ages and seems to have grown on me so much that even with 20 or more lip balms already at home I can not live without this one :P And some more repurchases - Balea Aqua Tuchmaske and Balea Totes Meer maske. So far I have only had one test with the Aqua mask and I really liked it so I got myself two more, the concept of applying a hydrating cloth to your face has impressed me once tested and I believe I will be repurchasing these some more. The other Totes meer maske is also an already very well known product and really works well on my oils skin.

And some makeup bits! I have treated myself with a tiny package of Bourjois goodies, that were actually three for the price of one and were really a good deal, even though these are the old products, meaning the ones they don't offer at regular stands anymore. I really liked this mix as it was summery and light, I wore the light blue nail polish for almost three weeks straight! And teh contents of the bag - Bourjois Effet 3D gloss 8H long lasting shade 11, Bourjois 1 Seconde gel texture nail polish 08 Bleu water, Bourjois 1 Seconde Vernis&Nail enamel top-coat silver leaf effect. Anyway, Bourjois is one of my favoruite makeup brands and I knew the purchase was a win for me! I have also indulged in some Lancôme goodies, even thou they are both mini - I have treated myself with  Lip Lover 316 Rose Attrape- Coeur and Le Crayon Khol 01 Noir. Haven't tested them out yet, but I hope they will work for me :)

I was really lucky this month as I have won three different giveaways! Can you believe that? I was really surprised and in one of them  I have received Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Face Wash,  Purifying Neem Foaming face wash and Purifying Neem Mask. I haven't tested it yet and I will not open these products for some time now as I have others that I have to test first, but I have never had anything for face by this brand and am looking forward to trying it out.

Another of the giveaway prizes I have won was consisting of four products - BH cosmetics Floral Blush Duo, Essence Fun Fair nail polish 01 You're Mint-blowing, Bebe Young Care intensive care lip balm and Oriflame The ONE 5-in-1 Colour Stylist Cream gloss in Pink charm. I have won these lovely products at another slovenian beuaty blogger that really loves makeup so much she decided to start her own blog! You can go check her out here on her blog, called My Little Wonderland Blog or on her Facebook page. :) I have already started testing and using both lip products and I am liking the both ;)

My third giveaway prize was this lovely Ziaja natural olive body butter + testers! I Haven't started using any of these yet, but I do have quite a lot of testers now to use up and these are Sensitive firming night cream, Cocoa butter cream, Goat's milk day cream, Goat's milk hand cream, Natural olive cream and Natural olive eye cream. I most looking forward to trying out the olive body butter hand cream testers ;)

This month I have also been able to start a new collaboration with NOÉMIE Cosmetics and I have never heard of them before but they were so kind to send me such a lovely bunch of products to test. I have been testing their  Purifying Toning Lotion,  Purifying Cleansing Gel,  Gentle Exfoliating Cream and Sebo - corrective cream during August and you can expect a review in the first part of September :) So far I have really been liking the toning lotion and cleansing gel, as well as exfoliating cream - really gentle helpers to keep my skin soft and clean.

From a brand that is now already well known in Slovenian stores and to other beauty bloggers, called AlpStories,  I have also received three lovely products to try out! I have received Organic Shampoo Aloe Vera, Cleansing gel with Sage & Mint and Tea Tree Oil Face Cream. According to my skin type and skin problems these two products seemed best for me and I have read so many positive reviews for their cleansing gel! The same goes for the Tea tree oil cream, which I am also really looking forward to testing out and hopefully it will work with my skin well. I haven't heard much abouth their shampoos yet but I have already begun testing it and I must say it really surprised me as it gives me more volume than any other shampoo I had in a long time. Also it doesn't foam at all, so I always wonder if I am actually washing my hair or not and if I should add some more shampoo, but so far this has been a very good hair product!

And now this amazingly large pile of Oriflame products! Not to worry, these were sent to me in three different packages, but still I did not expect all these goodies will be for me all in one month! However I am very grateful for the chance to collaborate with Oriflame as I have for several months now and even other products that were not sent to me for review purposes that I had teh chance to try have really impressed me. In general, the whole brand really impressed me. Not all products are amazing and some have more flaws than other but in general this has become one of my favourite brands of makeup and cosmetics, especially the Giordani Gold collection and The ONE makeup products. So this month I have received these lovely bits to try - The ONE 5-in-1 Colour Stylist Cream gloss French Beige,  Giordani Gold  Youth Full Gloss in Lavander,  Swedish Spa Purifying Face mask,  Eleo Hair mask,  Eleo Protecting Oil ideal for colour treated hair, Giordani Gold Bronzing pearls in Natural Radiance. I have already started testing most of these products and will be, hopefully, reviewing them in the month to come. 

Another collaboration that came unexpectedly right this month is with Caudalie and DermEden. I have received a couple of products by Caudalie and testers as well as testers od DermEden, which I have not known before. I have received - Caudalie Paris Vinosource Riche intense moisture rescue cream, Caudalie Paris Polyphenol anti-wrinkle eye & lip cream, Caudalie Paris Hand and nail cream,  testers - Divine oil, Vinoperfect radiance serum, Instant detox mask, Vinoperfect radiance tinted moisturizer, Divine legs tinted body lotion and DermEden testers - Night protocole face intense anti-aging,  D-day Protocole daily defense universal cream. So far I have only been able to test the hand cream and oh my god, I am in love! I have never liked a product so fast! I do get in love with lip products, but with skincare products it always took me some more time. With this hand cream love happened like magic and I adore it! For the rest I can not comment yet as I have not tested yet, but it looks really promising. So far I have only had one Caudalie product, their Beauty Elixir and you can read review here ;)

Another new collaboration that happened this month was with a brand I have never heard before, called HerBio and I have received their AHA Fruit Peeling Mask. I have already started testing this product and it's really as the name suggests, very fruity. Also interesting info is that this brand is local, from Slovenia, more specific from Žalec and the concept of their products and the whole brand is natural cosmetics, herbs, oils, gentle products with longterm effects. Also they don't test on animals. So far I am intrigued, will see how the product works for me :)

By the end of the month I have also had a chance at a new collaboration, this time with a brand well known in the beauty world, called Aussie. I have received three products to test - Aussie Miracle Shine shampoo, Aussie Miracle Moist conditioner, Aussie 3 Minute Miracle reconstructor deep conditioner. I have wanted to try anything from them for a very long time, they were on my wishlist for years now, but they were never available in Slovenia and now that they are I never got to Muller store to check them out so.. as time passed this opportunity presented itself and I am really excited to see how these will work on my hair! I have heard many positive reviews and comments for the 3 Minute Miracle reconstructor, so I hope it will work for me as well.

Just before the end of the month I have received another lovely surprise from Ličila.si, those of you who read me regulary already know I have collaborated with them before. This time they were so kind to send me new Freedom Cosmetics products! I have been spoiled with Pro 12 Audacious Mattes eyeshadow palette,  Pro Butters Lipgloss in shade Pro Butters TGIF and Curl Mascara. For all Slovenian readers they have a special discount code you can use up till the end of October - FREEDOM15! You can use this code on all Freedom Makeup products!

The last package that surprised me this month was from  another brand I have already collaborated with, it's from Dvorec Trebnik and I was lucky to be able to try out products from their new collection dt - Sparkle star haur&body oil, Energy tonic face&body mist, Juicy Orange shower gel and Berry pepper cream for tired legs&feet! I have not tested these yet, but I am really looking forward to! Lately Dvorec Trebnik products impressed me and some are really really amazing products, you can read the latest review here.

So now you know which reviews to expect in the coming month or two and also there are still some products I haven't reviewed yet as I didn't have time yet, but I am catching up on reviews and testing out and such so stay tuned if you're interested! :)

Thanks for reading!
