A little haul coming its way! I must state I went crazy on Black Friday and spent way more than I want to admit so I'll probably be reporting all of it soon since I'm still waiting for a few parcels to arrive!

Illamasqua had to be on my list of websites to visit as their sales are always so good! They had up to 75% off a lot of things and 25% sitewide. As I personally have a professional discount with the brand I didn't go as crazy this time of the year of the exception of some good bargains. 

It doesn't happen often that skincare becomes a focal point in here, not because I lack knowledge or experience with it, I just don't find it as exciting as makeup for an instance. But I've been told it changes with age so let's put that to the test! In 10 years time hopefully I'll still be writing here and possibly sharing more on the field of "how to prevent fine lines on your 30s"! 

For the time being I stick with a simple skincare regiment where the complexity of it is on the 10 different masks I use to do achieve different promised results but when it takes to the basics it only gets exciting when something new arrives to my collection. 

My idea for this post is to share 3 brands that I hear no one talk about and I absolutely love! And to add to the fun my number one product from each of them! 

Christmas is close and what a better excuse to splurge and treat ourselves?! 

I don't often share my wishlist here as I'm fortunate enough to usually bite the bullet soon after I fall in love with something which is something I want to change soon... so I do more of a conscious purchase and stop cluttering my life with things I love for 5 days and then go into a drawer. 

I'm usually pretty good at buying only things I really love but the problem with that is I love way too many things and don't need them. 

The products above are things I either don't own any like it or I really do love and must take advantage of them before they are discontinued. 

Often matte skin is something lusted after during the warmer months but for some reason forgotten during Fall/Winter. To be fair I personally don't get as oily but I know people that struggle with oiliness all year long so there's not really a right or wrong time to share some favourites to keep those oils at bay!

Cover FX recently launched two mini kits of, I would say, some of their best selling products! The Illuminating one features a illuminating primer, setting spray and the highlighter drops in Moonlight. Whereas the Mattifying Kit comes with the Mattifying Setting Spray, Primer and a Setting Powder. 

Funny enough this afternoon I was trying to get back into my blogging routine after a week of not even looking at it, when I could not find inspiration to write. Everything that I noted down I was not happy with so I stepped back. 

It's half past ten in the evening and it's the time I feel most inspired to write, where I actually think my words make sense together and I'm not rambling too much when it takes to a review post. I also feel like I have enough energy to write a month worth of posts, but with that would come the boredom of having to wait for time to go by to come back and write again. So I try not to do that mistake too often.
