Beauty Favourites 2017

Hi guys!

It's time for beauty favourites 2017.

Let's start with skincare...

REN Clarimatte clarifying toner - This is amazing! Sadly I've used up mine and it's not easy to find where I live.
Bliss Micro Magic - This is the best scrub I've ever tried. I think it's discontinued though, because I haven't seen it in store for a long time.
Clinique Moisture surge moisturising supercharged concentrate - Amazing lightweight moisturiser. I use this alone or together with the "normal" moisture surge cream.
Clinique All about eyes - The best eye cream! This or the rich version.
GlamGlow Supermud - The best mud mask! Maybe the best mask of all...

Next is fragrance...

Juicy Couture "Viva la Juicy Sucré" - Oh how I love this scent! It's sweet and warm at the same time. And it's not over powering. It's a cupcake in a bottle!
Yves Saint Laurent "Black Opium Floral Shock" - This was love at first sniff! This fragrance is a bit stronger but it's also sweet and warm, but it has a better sillage.

Let's do makeup...

Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation - I use Fresco and Pebble and I usually mix them togheter to get the perfect shade. This foundation is the only one that stays on all day on me.
Tikei Mineral Primer - This is my setting powder. It's amazing! It blurres the pores and mattifyes the shine. And it's not very expensive either.

And finally eye makeup...

Fleur de Force eyeshadows - I think this is in "Cosmic bronze". I love the shades as they are perfect for everyday use but you can also smoke it up if you want to.
H&M Eye pencil in Panther - When this sets it sets for real. It even stays put in the waterline on me and no other eye pencil has ever done that. So I highly recommend these.
Depend Triangular Eyebrow pencil in Taupe - I've only used this and the Anastasia Brow wiz this year and both are excellent. The Depend pencil is a little bit more creamy in consistency but it stays on all day without smudging!
Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara - The best mascara I've tried this year and ever, I think.

What are your beauty favourites this year?

Happy New Year - see you in 2018!

YSL "Black Opium Floral Shock" - Fragrance week!

Hey guys!

Today's fragrance is Yves Saint Laurent "Black Opium Floral Shock". This is one of my most recent purchases and it has quickly become a favourite. This one is good for both day and night, I think.

This is what fragrantica.com says about the scent.
The freshness of lemon, bergamot and pear in the top notes mixed with freesia is the first floral accord to the composition. The heart includes white flowers of golden gardenia, orange blossom and a solar floral accord. The base ends with iced coffee, white musk, mineral accord and woody amber.

To me this is not at all a floral fragrance, I can only smell creamy sweet notes when I wear it, sometimes with a hint of orange in the beginning. But the scent is absolutely gorgeous and I love it so so much. Someone said this is a limited edition fragrance, but I hope it's not. It deserves to be permanent and available forever!

Have you tried it? Do you like it or do you prefer one of the other scents in the Black Opium family?
