Today I'd like to show you two products in my skincare routine, the Eau Précieuse lotion and Tea Tree Water toner from Lush. I use both as a post-cleansing treatment before I apply moisturizer. They're suitable for blemished skin, but since I noticed different effects on my skin, I compared the two and I found out they're not as similar as I thought.

Lip products have been on top of my wishlist lately. Over the past months I've grown a love for lipstick so big, I'm completely rediscovering my own makeup interests. When I put together my Christmas wishlist, it was no surprise you'd find MAC products on it. And as I predicted before, I got impatient and went ahead to treat myself to this gorgeous lipstick. No harm in that, right?

What an exciting time of the year! Fashion week has kicked off again. Although I'm not that informed about fashion in general, I love seeing Instagram snaps taken from the front row - or the third or sixth, but that just didn't sound as good. Things have been busy in the beauty industry as well, now that brands are releasing their spring collections worldwide. The main theme this season seems to be pastel and pink, all very girly. Usually not my favourite, but nonetheless I've managed to select some beautiful products I would very much enjoy using. These are my picks:

1- When I saw the new Rouge Volupte lipsticks from YSL's Flower Crush collection, I think my heart skipped a beat. They are gorgeous and I'd pick these over the shades from the permanent collection anytime. Especially the one on the right; look at that beauty!

2- My two favourites from Chanel's Notes de Printemps are the Aqua Crayon in 'Raspberry Red' and Rouge Allure Velvet in 'L'Adorée'. I've seen people with completely different skin tones wear L'Adorée and they all pull off the colour so well! It's a pretty plum shade that you might prefer wearing in autumn, but it's definitely worth having.

3- To be expected in March, MAC Cosmetics are joining other brands in the pink/floral theme with their Fantasy of Flowers collection. The products that got me most curious are the new Mineral Skinfinishes (not pictured) and blushes. The one on the right looks a lot like NARS Orgasm, doesn't it!?

Are you lusting over anything from this spring's beauty collections?

First, can I say how glad I am it's February? The start of the new month marks the end of my exams at university and the revival of my social life. Because I spent most of January studying, I wasn't able to go sales shopping, but I did collect some things whenever I was in the city over the past two months. Some products weren't included in this post because I already wrote about them on the blog; think the Cranberry Joy shower gel and my new favourite perfume by Diesel.
