Favourite perfumes

Favourite perfumes

I'd thought I share my current favourites of the perfume world with you...actually, Glow by J.Lo isn't only a current favourite. I've been head over heels in love with it ever since it came out it 2003. It's is THE perfect scent. And so much better than the typical utterly sweet and cheap smelling celebrity perfumes that are out there. When I think of a ideal perfume for daytime, I think of something that smells fresh,clean,not overbearing,almost as if I'm not wearing any perfume at all but just smell like I came straight out the shower. Glow does exactly that. It is so subtle that people almost tend to ask what soap you use because you smell so fresh and clean. And that's exactly what I want for daytime. Escadas "Absolutely me" on the other hand is a kind of sweet scent. But not the same kind of sweet as named celebrity perfumes. I am really bad at describing scents,all I know is, is that I absolutely love this smell for nights out as it is sweet but somehow still fresh and it definitely doesn't smell like anything else out there and I like the thought of going out and knowing that chances that somebody else has the same perfume are almost non-existent as I guess it is not as popular as Narciso Rodriguez, Marc Jacobs, Chanel etc. scents :-)

I just can't live without....

A make-up hoarder like me sometimes has a tough time to chose from a variety of products. Nonetheless, like every girl should, I have some essentials that i can't live without. The pictured products above are used almost on a daily basis...here's why:

Benefit Sugarbomb: I know there are a lot of people that do not particularly like this blush because it doesn't give so much color but that is exactly the reason why I love this blush with all my heart. It's hard to overdo it and you don't need a highlighter as it gives you the most beautiful sheen EVER. Especially during summertime...and who doesn't like the smell of candy ;-)
Carmex: Do I really have to say much about it?! BEST LIPBALM on earth!!!
Estée Lauder Double Wear: My holy grail make up for combination/oily skin. Combined with a primer and translucent powder it lasts forever. It also mattifies but at the same time gives you that slightly natural dewy look without looking too shiny. Love it!!!
Lancome mascara: Hands down my favourite. It's the only mascara that - when applied - i have been asked if I'm wearing fake lashes.
Marc Jacobs "Daisy": Perfect for summer. Fall. Winter. Spring. I'm addicted :-)
