the ordinary niacinamide 10% + zinc 1% | review

15:49 / BY Jovana Tomin
Ah, niacinamide - my first The Ordinary love and the product that got me into proper skincare. It definitely holds a special place in my heart, but not only for sentimental reasons. This little miracle in a 30ml bottle is something that I cannot live without. I keep repurchasing it and I think I am currently on my 6th bottle. I started using it about a year and a half ago and I never looked...

la roche posay effaclar duo+ | review

15:45 / BY Jovana Tomin
I've already talked about my favorite everyday moisturizer - the Mixa Hyalurogel Light. However, I'm yet to talk about a cream I've been using for the past year and that I think has contributed to my skin getting *significantly* better. So, today we're not talking about your average moisturizer, we're talking about some corrective care goodness - La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo+. It's a very light and gentle moisturizer that sinks in quickly and doesn't...

missha waterproof sun milk spf50+ | review

18:19 / BY Jovana Tomin
I know it's October, but that doesn't make wearing SPF on the daily any less important. So, today I'll tell you all about my current SPF to try and inspire you to still wear sunscreen even though it's cold outside. For a while now, I've wanted to try a Korean sunscreen because I've heard so many people talk about how lightweight and gentle they are on the skin. Finally, I got my hands on the Missha...

18:39 / BY Jovana Tomin
Just like your body, your skin also needs hydration. While drinking plenty of water is a sure way to hydrate all your organs, there's another way to provide extra love for your skin. Using a hydrating product in your skincare routine is a good idea, no matter your skin type. Whether you're dry or oily, your skin will love you for giving it some extra hydration. That's why I desperately wanted to try this ever-so-popular...

Maybelline Instant Anti Age Eraser Concealer | Review

08:00 / BY Jovana Tomin
If you watch beauty gurus on YouTube and you don't live under a rock, you have heard about this concealer. I, too, have heard people talk about it (probably on a daily basis) for years. About two years ago, I got on the bandwagon and tried this concealer for the first time. It's safe to say I never looked back - this is my fourth bottle. To be completely honest, the thing that got me...

Mixa Hyalurogel Light

14:00 / BY Jovana Tomin
I know, I know, at this point everyone and their mum has written about the Mixa Hyalurogel Light cream. However, because I've been raving about it for years and I absolutely love it, I feel like it's only right that I tell you my story with it.  About 3 years ago, I went to a dermatologist hoping that he'd finally fix my acne-prone skin for good. Though that didn't exactly work, there's one great thing that...

the ordinary coverage foundation - our toxic relationship

16:37 / BY Jovana Tomin
I really wanted to love this foundation. I gave it so many chances I felt like I was in a toxic relationship with it. In all seriousness though, I tried applying it in many different ways, but it's just not for me. Here's what happened between us. When it acted weird after being applied on top of my SPF, I gave it the benefit of the doubt. It doesn't mix with SPF, okay, many foundations don't....

Taking good care of your skin is important all year round and wearing sunscreen should be one of the most important steps in your skincare routine at all times. However, when summer rolls around, protecting the skin from sun damage is even more important as the sun becomes stronger. As I've mentioned in my previous post about the most important skincare lessons, the SPF of my choice is the La Roche Posay Anthelios line. Today...

how to feel glam in quarantine

13:25 / BY Jovana Tomin
The world has been struck with this strange crisis and, in turn, all of us are forced to stay home. And while that isn't all that bad if you ask my introvert self, being stuck between the same four walls every single day can take a toll on your mindset. It's really easy to stay in bed all day without even changing out of your pajamas or brushing your hair. We've all been there.  However,...

Drop what you're doing and go watch Peaky Blinders. Now, I know I'm late to the game, but I've just finished watching Peaky Blinders and I am sooo glad that I finally decided to give it a go.

Because everyone has different preferences when it comes to makeup, you never know if someone's recommendation will work for you. However, this foundation definitely hasn't let me down and I...

fine line by harry styles - the most beautiful album of 2019

13:09 / BY Jovana Tomin
TWITTER.COM/HARRY_STYLES Happy New Year everybody! I'm back and I'm talking about my favorite music yet again. Everyone is well aware of my love for Harry Styles, so this post doesn't come as a surprise. Harry has recently released his second solo album and I am, of course, in love with it. And considering I'm going to see him in concert in May, it would be very unfortunate if I hated the album. So, Fine Line...
