Jana from Small bites of loveliness always have gorgeous, healthy looking skin on every picture. And since I found out she is using Lily Lolo mineral foundation I know I need it in my life. My skin was breaking out like crazy lately and it was time for a small change. So since I decided to use more natural cosmetics, I had to change my foundation routine just as well.

After my L'occitane facial and getting their CC cream, I fell in love with this product, so I decided to keep it in my routine. I decided to try out Lily Lolo foundation, and first I ordered a few samples, so I can get a perfect match for my pale skin. For me that perfect match was China Doll. And the best thing is that this two products works amazing together! First I apply L'occitane CC cream*, right after my daily moisturizer. And leave a minute or two to soak in. In that time I always cook my morning coffee. Then I put some concealer under my eyes and on my spots, for that I love to use Collection concealer in fair. I didn't include it in a picture because packaging is looking like a mess. Then it's my favourite part. With E.L.F powder brush I apply Lily Lolo Mineral foundation in China Doll. After that my skin looks really nice and healthy. Cc cream somehow hides my pores and evens out my skin and Lily Lolo just give that little coverage that my skins needs and still leaves my skin to breath. I don't have that Instagram perfect skin after this three steps, but I like the natural and healthy effect.

After this three steps I love to mist my skin with L'occitane Perfecting Mist. As I said here, this mist is really perfecting. And I love to use it after all my make up is applied. For perfect finish.

In the future I would also love to try Lily Lolo BB cream and their concealer in Blonde. That's how much I love their mineral foundation.

I need only a few minutes for better skin now. And mineral foundation is so much easier to apply then liquid foundation. Probably I love that the most! And the effect is the same. I have a few more minutes in morning for my self thanks to fast make up application.



P.s: from now on every product I got or will get in a future for review purpose will be marked with * in every post I will mention product in. Not just in a review. But my opinion will still be honest and the provider will not have any affect on my posts.

Micellar waters are super hyped up lately around bloggers. And I can totally get why. The good side with micellar water is that is kind of a multi purpose product. You can use it as make up cleanser, or second cleanser for skin or as I do, like toner after cleansing. It remove any residues of cleansing product and prepare skin for additional care. I tried out quite a few already and they all work out just great. But will this organic one be as good as the others as well?

First, when I got it I managed a real challenge for it. We all know how hard it is to remove Revlon Colorstay for oily skin. And Melvita micellar water somehow passed this hard test easily. But it was different story with my mascara. I simply give up after a few second, since it didn't work. I can't say that this micellar water can't remove mascara I am just saying I am too lazy to press cotton pad for a minute or two on my eyes. But it can easily remove build up face make up: foundation, powder, contour and even lip stick.

My sensitive skin loves this product, because it's not irritating and drying. Even tough I cleanse my skin twice, first with make up remover and then with skin cleanser, I sometime notice a little bit of foundation or black dots on my cotton pad. The best part is that it's not drying. But because of this amazing ingredients it even have a little bit of a moisturizing effect.
Do I recommend buying this micellar water? Well yes. I am soon running out of it and I will definitely repurchased it.

You can get it here. Or in selected Muller drugstores. You get 200ml of product for the price 15,30€

One of my favourite summer shades. And one of the polishes with crazy colour that are photogenic :P It is Kiko 312. Gorgeous bright pink with blue undertone and little sparkles in it. And one of my favourite Konad patterns from m63. Love this combination on my summer ready nails ;)


I love Kiko polishes, all of mine are super pigmented, fast drying and can survive on my nails for couple of days. And the price is nice as well. The only downside is that they are not available in Slovenia :(

So what do you think?

I was super happy when I was invited on L'Occitane facial with their new Pivoine Sublime line. My skin did totally love all the products and it was looking super nice at the end. I bought their Perfecting mist, since I love that kind of products and the CC cream was a gift.

Do I need to say that I loved every single L'Occitane products I owned? It's something special about their products. On the other side, the price is not that special.

The Perfecting Mist is kind of really perfecting. I don't use it in my face routine, but instead I use it after I apply my make up, and somehow my skin looks more amazing after this mist. The foundation is not caking any more and my pores are less visible. And somehow this mist really gives my skin that healthy glow. Even if I have a make up free day I use it anyway, just because my skin looks better after using it. And make up last longer in combination with this mist. I didn't expect all that benefits from one face mist. But there is one downside, after using it for probably around two moths, my skin didn't improve. So the perfecting effect is only there a few hours after using the mist. But I don't regret buying it, since is perfect make up setting spray.



The CC cream is perfect for hot summer days. Light texture and the same perfecting effect. The skin looks fresh and healthy and the skin tone is nicely even out. It has light coverage, my acne still needs a bit of concealer to hide it. I have no idea how that is possible, but my dark under eye circles are less visible with this cream. And it has SPF 30, which is amazing for me, since I don't have SPF cream for my face. I know I am horrible. But I have no idea how my sensitive acne prone skin would go with SPF products. But enough about my skin and problems with SPF. I recommend this CC cream to everyone. In summer time you can wear it alone for a little perfecting effect, but in winter it would be perfect for those with dry skin, under foundation, for additional hydration.
And now to the best part. The CC cream is white! And contains little granules with pigments. Let me show you how it works:

 

 


Interesting right?
This two products are worth a few € to spend on them. I will repurchase this two for sure, but I don't think that will happened any time soon, since I am using them two months now and I only use 1cm of Perfecting mist.

Now I need your advice, what is one must have product from L'Oocitane?
Super excited to hear your answers.
