Hi Loves,
Before I will do my review on these two gorgeous shades, I want to say sorry for not posting regularly lately, but my life was crazy busy, mostly because I was getting married, so I had a LOT of things to do.
Now everything is going back to normal and as a married woman (: I will continue writing my beauty posts :) We are currently living in Europe, but my husband is from the States and there we had our very cute outdoor wedding.


While being in NY, I couldn't not stock up with some beauty products!!  I will be reviewing my favorites very soon, so stay tuned :)
 ***
My last obsession is called BLUSH, because I can't stop checking, swatching and buying different shades of that product lol. Two of my adored spring blushes are Coralista by Benefit Cosmetics (lately I'm totally OBSESSED with this brand!) and Milani's baked blush in Berry Amore shade.


Texture of Coralista is more creamy, while Berry Amore is more powdery type of a product. While applying you need to be gentle with Berry Amore, because it's very pigmented and while trying to swatch both products Berry Amore showed up immediately, with Coralista  though I needed to press my brush a little bit harder.


Coralista is a gorgeous peachy-pink shade, I would say on a satin side, without glitter. Berry Amore is more  peachy-coral shade, with warm golden glitter, which looks just beautiful.

I honestly love both. Coralista in my opinion looks a little bit more natural and gives you more satin-glowing finish on your cheeks, while Milani's blush is a little bit more noticeable (at least on my face), but that's exactly why I admire it.
Berry Amore is my first blush from Milani Cosmetics, but I have to say, that I am VERY impressed with the quality and beautiful, pigmented color. With my current blush obsession :) I will definitely going to try more shades!

Hope your day is going great Ladies!

Hi Loves,
   Recently, I have been testing out organic healing lip balm by brand Alchemilla for review. I really love organic and natural cosmetics, so I was pretty excited to try it out, especially because my lips were pretty chapped after winter and I was looking for deeply moisturizing product, that will bring back the softness of my lips ;)
About the product:
"Healing Lip Balm
    >> Instantly comforts and softens dry, cracked lips.
    >> Provides a lasting sense of deep moisturization.
    >> Naturally plumps up the appearance of the lips.
    >> Leaves lips smooth, supple and truly comfortable.
    >> Devoid of irritating peppermint or menthol*.
    >> A soothing lip balm suitable for all skin types.

Natural Actives: Calendula*, Carrot, Chamomile*, Olive*, St John's Wort*, Vitamin E
* Organic"
My review:
   After reading that I was very excited to try it out and I have been using this lip balm for like 2 weeks now. What I really like about this product, is definitely a list of natural ingredients.
   This lip balm doesn't have any smell and doesn't contain menthol (I know some people don't like it).
   I am not really a big fan of applying lip products with my fingers, because of a lot of reasons, so the only thing I would change is the applicator.

   My lips are definitely more moisturized and smoother than before. This lip balm leaves transparent glossy finish, not sticky at all, which gives your lips nice healthy shine:)

Overall I am pleased with the results and I will definitely keep using it.

My rating: 4.5/5

Alchemilla was nice enough to giveaway a year's supply of Healing Lip Balm (4 lip balms!!) to one of my lucky reader! (only US, sorry :( )
