NEW IN

I`ve spoiled myself a little in the beginning of this month and bought some new products to try out: body, hand, face cream; mascara, lipstick and of course nail polishes.

I couldn`t resist buying Cookies & Cream hand balm from Essence limited edition collection, it smells amazing, but honestly, it`s nothing special. When i was in Belgrade, i picked up Garnier Oil Beauty lotion. I`m using dry oil from this collection and i`m loving it, so i decided to try lotion as well. 

 Then i also received 2 products to try out: Vichy Idealia Eyes and La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL SPF 50+ Fluid. Vichy Idealia Eyes gives you instant healthy glow under the eyes (i have lighter dark circles).

And now for the MU and nail polishes part. I have 4 new products in my collection: Yes Love Neon glitter nail polish (swatch here), i found Essie Bikini So Teeny nail polish when i was in Belgrade (it was on my WL since FOREVER), i also bought Rimmel Scandal Eyes Show Off mascara there (still haven`t tested it though). And the last product, and the worst in my opinion, is Maybelline popstick in shade Pink Lollipop. The worst because it`s not pigmented, it`s not moisturizing, it`s not long lasting. Nothing. It just looks nice, that`s all.

MY NAIL AND HAND CARE

I wrote about my favorite nail and hand care products before (here), but this time i decided to actually show you which products i use to keep my hands soft and my nails strong.

To keep my hands moisturized i usually use hand creams from Essence and L`occitane. For shaping and preventing my nails from chipping i use Kiko`s glass file. And to correct nail polish, which doesn`t happen a lot (looks like i have special skills when it comes to polishing nails), i use nail polish corrector pencil from Essence.

My top 3 products for cuticle: cuticle remover, Lemony Flutter from Lush (i use it daily) and nail oil from Essence (i use it when i finish with polishing my nails).

When it comes to polishing nails are my most used products: base coats from Essence and LCN and top coats from Essie, Seche Vita and Essence.

And that`s basically it. I hope it is helpful. :)
