July Beauty Favourites
One of my favourite things to do is writing and sharing with you products I´ve been loving during the past couple of weeks. I´m also giving you a short review of them. Enjoy! :)
From the left on the top:
1. The Body Shop Spa Wisdom Africa Honey and Beewax Hand and Foot Butter - I´ve been desperately looking for a foot lotion/cream/butter which doesn´t have peppermint smell. I´m more into nutty, sweet, fruity scents and finally I´ve found a products which smells good and also works very well. It´s an extra as the name of the cream states, you can use it as a hand butter too! :) It has a very creamy buttery texture, moisturises your feet/hands perfectly and has a delicious, but not too strong scent to it. I´m using it every evening before bed time and I´m waking up with soft, smooth skin!

2. NIP+FAB Dry Hand Fix with Pistachio and Almond Fragrance - I purchased this hand cream first back in the december (in Hagkaup) because of the smell of it. It´s heaven on earth then I used it all up in 2 months or so... and I´ve bought another one what I´ve been currently using. That says it all. Great hand cream with amazing pistachio and almond scent. Have you tried it?
3. Clinique Liquid Facial Soap (mild) - I´ve got this small tube in a pretty makeup bag because Clinique had an offer. Basically if you bought 2 Clinique products, you got a cute makeup bag with some samples in it. I haven´t fall in love with many Clinique products in my life but this one is great. I´m using it daily under the shower, it´s a gentle, yet very effective cleanser. I´m gonna buy the big bottle for sure which comes with a pump as an extra bonus ;)
4. Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Bronzer in the shade 'LIGHT' - I´m using this bronzer daily. It gives your face a natural tan, easy to apply, beautiful packaging. Nothing more to say. :)

5. L'Occitane Cherisier Rouge EU Intense (limited edition) - Unluckily it´s a limited edition parfume from L'Occitane Spring Collection and it´s sold out in Iceland. I bought it around april and I´m more than half way throw my 50 ml bottle wich means I´m using it a LOT. It has a fresh, fruity, cherry scent which I love so much. This is my first parfume from the brand and I´m very satisfied with it. I like to change up the parfumes I´m wearing, I´m definitely not that type of girl who uses the same scent year after year..

6. Bobbi Brown Protective Face Lotion SPF 15 (with Vitamin E and Chamomile) - My favourite daily moisturizer with SPF in it. It´s a light-weight, face protective lotion which comes with a pump. Very handy, easy to apply, sinks into the skin immediately. I apply it before using BB/CC cream in the mornings. My skin loves it!
7. Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Eye Pallette Raw Sugar (limited edtition) - It´s a gorgeous summer eye pallette which you can use also for highlighting or you can also use it for your cheeks to add some color.
Sadly it was a limited edition and it´s sold out but the brand always comes out with some new shimmer brick pallettes.

8. Maybelline Brow Drama in the shade 'Medium Brown' - I've written about this brow mascara not so long ago. You can check out that post HERE :) Basically if you dont´have time/ you don´t need to correct your brows so much and you have just 30 seconds to fix them, this is a good product to use. It gives you a quick fix and it´s budget friendly. The only disadvantage is you can only choose from 2 colour shades.
9. Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector - I have the shade 02 which is a light coraly shade. I´ve used up earlier this month my Dior Lip Glow so I decided to give this a go since I´ve purchased this product a while ago and also many bloggers are raving about them and ... I like it! :) It´s basically a lip balm and a lip gloss combined with a nude shade of color and it´s working. You get what you´re paying for and also it smells like vanilla. :)

10. OPI Nail Lacquer in the shade 'Sorry I´m Fizzy Today' (Coca-Cola Collection 2014) - It´s a lovely pastell pink shade <3 Perfect for the summer.

11. Real Techniques Buffing Brush (from their Core Collection) - If I have to choose only one brush from Real Techniques, I would definitely choose their BUFFING BRUSH. It´s a real multitasker. Of course I like to use different brushes for different tasks, but I could/can survive on this one brush (and my fingers) for creating my simple, everyday makeup look. I´m always applying my BB/CC cream/foundation with this brush and then I´m using it again for bronzer and blush. I have quite small makeup bag and I don´t want to carry around a set of brushes so this brush makes the cut. Always!

Until next time,

BEAUTY RESTOCK #1
There are some products I'm loving so much and using a lot, so I need to have them all the time. Usually as soon as I finish something, I'm not buying the exact same product again because I would like to try new ones, but as you can see on the picture I have a couple of things I'm just obsessed with.
1-2. Neutrogena - Pink Grapefruit Daily Scrub & Facial Wash (I wrote about these products before on my blog --> HERE!
3. The Body Shop - Camomile Waterproof Eye & Lip Make-Up Remover
The best eye make-up remover I've ever tried and believe me I've tried sooo many different type of removers before and much more expensive ones. This make-up remover is gentle, doesn't irritate my eyes at all, doesn't smell like alcohol and just does a great job.
4. Maybelline - Brow Drama (Sculpting Brow Mascara) in the shade 'medium brown'
I love this formula! You can fix your brows in 30 seconds perfectly. It works very well for me and it has a very good price :)
5. Bobbi Brown BB Cream SPF 35
This is the best BB cream in my opinion although I've tried many, but in the end I'm always coming back to the Bobbi Brown one. I have the shade 'Fair' and it matches with my skin tone perfectly. It covers so well, it's almost like a foundation. I'm very lucky with my skin so this BB Cream is enough for me to cover any redness on my face and it lasts all day long! This BB cream is my everyday make-up product.
6. Bobbi Brown Hydrating Eye Cream (enriched mineral water & aloe vera)
This is my first eye-cream ever. I've started to use eye-cream 2 years ago right after my 25th birthday. I've just needed something light, hydrating cream which leaves my eye-area soft and refreshed.
7. EOS Hand Lotion
I love hand creams and I always carry 1 or 2 tubes in my handbag :) This is a new discovery for me. I fall in love with the packaging because it's so practical. Otherwise it smells delicious, 97% natural ingredients and it's paraben-free.

MY TOP 5 RESTAURANTS IN REYKJAVÍK, ICELAND
I´m a very picky eater so it´s quite hard for me to find places where I can actually eat. (I´m driving my friends and family crazy,haha) I´m really not into fancy restaurants either, they make me feel very uncomfortable. I don´t know why, but this is the way it is.
4. PRIKIÐ is more like a bar than a restaurant but you can find some good meals there and the prices are ridiculously low compared to the average price at the city center.
Read More
My boyfriend (Daniel) and my brother (Csaba) are working as chefs in Reykjavík, so they are recommending me very good meals according to my taste :) When I was scrolling down on my phone for food photos, it made me realised how many restaurant I´ve actually tried during the last couple of month. Here are some pictures about my favourite meals and restaurants. Enjoy!
1. SUSHI SAMBA - I would say it´s a MUST for sushi lovers! The best sushi you can get in Reykjavík in my opinion. The restaurant is located downtown. I went 3 times already in a very short period of time :)

"Aspas Tempura" sushi roll - Sushi Samba
2. VITABAR - Another MUST! They have the best burgers in town. No joke. Vitabar is located just 3 minutes walk from Laugavegur,the main shopping street. ps. Their steak is delicious too!
|
"Óstborgaratilboð" - Vitabar
3. SNAPS BISTRO-BAR - One of the best restaurants in Reykjavík. I´m addicted to their fish of the day and pancakes but let the pictures talk... :)
![]() 'Pancakes & Coffee Latte' - Snaps |
![]() |
'Steak bernaise' - Snaps |
![]() |
'MR bagel, sweet fries and a five dollar milkshake' - Prikið
5. THE LAUNDROMAT CAFE - I´ve used to go there a lot but the prices went up quite a bit lately. The atmosphere is still unique and the food is good! I love their smoothies :)
'Pancakes and a smoothie' - The Laundromat Coffee
Of course I could go on with my list, but these are my top 5! I´m also gonna do a list soon about my favourite cofee places! Stay tuned! :)
Until next time,
Eva

NEW Neutrogena products in Iceland!
My favourites are the Visible Clear Pink Grapefruit Facial Wash and the Daily Scrub. I´m using them every single day. I´ve bought quite a few when I went last time to Hungary just to make sure I always have some on my bathroom shelf but now they are avalaible in Iceland too! You can get them in a good price (ca.1500 ISK).
Neutrogena Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Facial Wash |
p.s. I´ve used OPI nail lacquer in the shade 'toucan do it if you try´. It´s a beautiful pastell-coral shade.
