SeboCalm

Usually I like to stick to brand I know and products I have heard of, however SeboCalm is an Israeli brand that is quite popular amongst Israeli women. It was developed for sensitive skin and is hypoallergenic. I have acquired a little collection over time. 
My two favourite items are without a doubt these creams. The first is a moisturiser that soothes red and irritated skin. Since my skin is quite sensitive it reacts to a lot of environmental factors and this cream really does help. The second cream is a tinted moisturiser with SPF 20. I like to use it in the morning. It provides some coverage and both moisturisers are oil free. 
I also quite like the body butter. It feels quite light yet it contains shea butter and feels great on the skin.

Estée Lauder Advance Night Repair

Well finally I caved and bought the Advance Night Repair serum by Estée Lauder. I have heard so many good things about it and decided to acquire it and loads of beauty bloggers have raved about it. Truthfully I decided to get it a long time ago after reading Anna's blog and watching her Youtube channel. Naturally I have very high hopes for this product. Apparently its main ingredient is hyaluronic acid, which is responsible for renewal of skin cells. I will give it a go and obviously review the product in the future. 
I actually had to hold myself back not to buy their Idealist Even Skin Tone Illuminator and decided to give that one a go next month. It brightens the face containing vitamin C, fades sun damage and hyper pigmentation. It is also supposed to help with breakouts and is used in the morning, thus a great combination with the night repair.

New in ... part 2

So here is the second half to my "New in" post. And no, I did not buy everything in one go! I have been picking up bits and peaces here and there and now I can put everything into a nice and long post. 
You may or you may not know that I am a total silk freak, so as soon as I see a top made of silk my brain turns off because I have to have it. Thus with the 3 shirts below it was no different. My only excuse it that they were all on sale.
The first shirt is a lovely green high cut shirt with a little key hole in the back from Mango. I really always wanted to have a green silk top so now my foolish dream has come true and I can fantasise about a new clothing item.
The 2 tops below are from Zara. The first one has a little collar and it is of a sheer white colour. The collar turns to ribbons in the back and is tied into a little bow.
The second shirt is rather a jumper. It has a viscose metallic beige front and a silky back with a golden zipper. 
Somehow I seem to have gotten into metallic/silvery tops lately, thus I absolutely had to buy this linnen blazer with metallic fibers from H&M. I particularly like the neon orange fabric inside.
I was walking around this jumper from Mango really wanting to buy it and tried to convince myself that I absolutely do not need it. Technically this is a valid argument, however, when I found it on sale I just couldn't resist... It is quite silvery with low shoulders. It just looks stunning with dark skinny jeans and black or silver ballet slippers. 
To round up the collective haul, I present to you my new favourite perfume. It is Eau de Toilette from Chloé. I find it very elegant and feminine and it really does go well will all the silk shirts. I always have to think about the stunning silk Chloé always brings to the run ways and it makes me feel like one million $.

New in

Finally, I am back after a long hiatus and wanted to share a some of my new things with you. It will probably happen in 2 parts since this post would get too long.
I can never again enter ALDO because they just have stunning stunning shoes! I really cannot wait for the weather to get worse so that I can finally wear them since just the view makes me excited. However, it might still take a while...
After I purchased my 7 for all mankind jeans, I realised that there are no better jeans for me out there. So when there was again a 50% off offer I decided it is time for an addition to the closet. My old Miss Sixty jeans really could use a replacement and the colour is gorgeous. This is the high waste super skinny model.
I was doing so well and already on my way out of the shopping center and decided to peek into the MAC store. Why did I do that? No idea...
What they do have though is their annual brush set release which is more than 50% cheaper than buying their brushes individually. This year it was illustrated by Julie Verhoeven and contains the 187, 130, 282 and 286 brushes. Also for the first time I have ventured into cream bushes and so far I really like it. The shade that I got is "Brit Wit".
