summer beauty favourites

Hello!
I hope all is well! :)

I'm popping in to share some beauty favourites I'm enjoying.




Nuxe BB cream - my favourite! Only bad thing is the SPF...it's spf 8 or something so I have to wear a higher spf under it (which really defeats the purpose of a BB cream) but other than that it's my favourite! It's got a strong scent (peaches) which doesn't bother me and it goes away. Evens out my skin tone and lasts all day on my skin.

Physician's Formula CC cream - my mom sent this to me and I love it! The coverage is great for a CC cream and it last pretty much all day on my skin.

La Roche-Posay Anthelios - I love the tinted version for everyday use. This is an oldie but a goodie! 

Primavera - Argan oil. LOVE!


RMS Beauty Uncover Up - This is new to me. I L.O.V.E it! I use it under my eyes and anywhere else I need to conceal. The texture is so creamy...doesn't crease under my eyes and I ordered a back up! Enough said! I want to try their Lip&Cheek pots. I ordered mine (because I live in Croatia) from Naturisimo and loved the service.

Burt's Bees - I LOVE the peppermint one...love the tingle on the lips! The tinted one I have is in Rose..so pretty (I bought it in Muller).

Tarte blushes - My cousin from Canada brought me a new Tarte blush in Exposed...gor.ge.ous! I want them all is what I want! LOL! The other colour I have is Dollface. They are the only blushes I use.


Weleda Salt toothpaste - I absolutely LOVE this toothpaste! The first few times I used it I have to be honest and say I didn't know what to think...salty, doesn't foam...what?!! But now I'm hooked! I notice my husband reaching for it too! :)

Clinique Chubby Sticks - I've had these for a while now, my favourite everyday shade is Whole Lotta Honey. The other one I use is in Woppin' Watermelon. I'm on the hunt for new lipsticks and preferably 'green'. I've got my eye on Ilia and Red Apple lipsticks!



I forgot to add this to the mix. This I have been using for years on me, my husband, the kids...Lord knows the pets are next! lol!

Nikel Coconut Butter - This amazing Coconut Butter is natural goodness AND it's a Croatian product! It's got...are you ready...coconut butter, cocoa butter, olive oil, almond oil, sesame oil, sunflower oil, carrot oil and vitamin E! The MOTHER of all butters!






First off I have no idea why my hand (skin) looks green?? lol! And I'm too tired and have too much to do to take another photo! I have been wearing these two shade all summer long. I usually wear very neutral colours like Essie's Sand Tropez or dark colours like Essie's After School Boy Blazer. It's been forever since I've worn a red or a coral shade...I don't know why because I love seeing it on other girls/ladies...I don't know...

Collistar Gloss Nail Lacquer - I really love this formula...I've only tried these two colours and so far so good! Last longer on my nails than Essie (Essie lasts a day people! They have amazing colours but they just don't last with or without base and top coats!)...and that's with no base or top coat. Shade 558 reminds me of Essie's Splash of Grenadine. I'm wearing this colour.





Ok...nuff about lotions and postions onto a crafty sneak peek! Pop on over to the JD blog and check out Mariana's adorable card and details on today's flash sale! :)

free digi

Hello!

How are ya'll doing?? Good I hope!

I am working my butt off and can't share any of it.....yet!! But I could share this little doodle I did a couple of days ago! :) I've been sketching like crazy and the good thing about that is...more stamps and more digi freebies.





This cake here literally is something I quickly sketched out...I was going to go back and 'clean' it up a bit more...but I like that it doesn't look perfect.






Have a great day!

weekend fun

Hello!
I hope you are enjoying your weekend!

On Friday we went to the zoo and had a great time! 
I always have mixed feelings about the zoo...I'm all excited to see the animals and then get all depressed because they should be free....our zoo here in Zagreb needs a lot of work but I'm happy to see some improvement and I hope it continue's to do so.

(took all photos with my phone that ended up dying on me!)




First we saw these two who are brothers and were quarreling the whole time...the kids thought they were hilarious! :)




Strike a pose!







One of the major improvements is the new living space for the lions.



She wouldn't look my way no matter what I did! ;) She's a beauty.



The zoo has these neat little 'rooms' where you can get a little extra info like this about the skeleton of a saber tooth tiger that roamed Croatia thousands of years ago.




This was a Texas inspired room!




This room was awesome and gross at the same time...basically showing all the critters that can show up in your cupboards, attics, etc (like mice, bugs, rats....)





Busy, Busy Bees! :)





This fella just came out of his little cave to take a look at us! Looks a tad grumpy!





I wanted to take these cutie pies home!



On duty watch!



Just look at this bird house. 


We saw many other animals but my phone died so I didn't get a chance to take any more pictures.

Hope you enjoy what's left of the weekend!
