Travel Essentials | Roadtrip

Hello there gorgeous readers!

Since I'm going on a little adventure in the Alps next week and all of the packing stuff is on it's way, I decided to make travel essentials kinda post.

If you are with me from the very beginning, then you already know I am in love with traveling. Visiting new places, meeting new people, learning about customs and cultures of others are my big passions besides beauty world. And big role in enjoing your time play things you carry in your handbag. Girls, let's be honest here, sometimes we put half of the Universe there "just because it's really important" and then dying of pain in shoulders and spine. Am I right? 95,9% yes.

I have already had lots of experience like that and it taught me few good lessons.

When it comes to roadtrips, I used to take with me at least two books, notebook, few pen or pencils, two makeupbags - one filled with actual makeup and another with medicine stuff (just in case), at least three skincare products and tons of other things. Who the hell needs that?

I felt so uncomfortable because I couldn't take out anything from my handbag and, basically, it was a complete mess.

Now only goodies that I need are traveling with me. Nothing more.

Here is my list of essentials for roadtrips:

Blanket

I always leave it in the car anyway, so it won't overweight me. My problem is that I can't sleep without blankets. In general, it makes trip a little bit cozier.

Phone and headphones

The reason is obvious. Who can handle lots of hours without music? Not me. And also phone helps me to keep in touch with my friends.

Tablet

Instead of bringing with me tons of books I download them on my device. Also I download few films to entertain me even more.

Camera

It has it's own bag and won't weight down my handbag as well! Camera is such an essential for me wherever I go and most of the time I carry it around because you don't know when photo opportunity happens!

Synergen Toner and Anti-Pickel Gel

These two products have became my holy grail ones! Toner works amazing, refreshes and cleans all of the dirt. Skin feels so soft and pure afterwards. Furthermore I usually get few pimples on roadtrips and Anti-Pickel Gel saves my life. Apply it on the pimple, wait for it to sink, wait few hours and voila, no more pimple!

Hairbrush

Nobody likes messy and tangled hair. Also I want to look like normal girl when going out of car, definitely not like monster.

Maybelline Babylips

Again, as I have already said, it moisturize lips and give a little bit of colour as well. Super handy.

Bottle of water and snacks

Stay hydrated. If you don't drink enough water, you will get headache and general body weakness. Always take your favourite tasty snacks! It's kinda my anthem for roadtrips.

Well, simple as that.

What are yours travel essentials?

Till next time, Yana x

P.S I hope I'll manage to post normaly whilst I'm away!

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette

Well, well, well. Frankly speaking, I've wanted to own one of the legendary Naked palettes for years now. They seem to embody all the dreams of beauty enthusiasts in one package. Having twelve shades of eyeshadows means you can make lots of wonderful things!

Overall, my biggest problem was deciding which Naked should I buy. I've spent literally the whole evening searching/reading about them. Strange? Maybe! I mean, yes, it would be cool to purchase all of the palettes, but unfortunately I do not have that opportunity.

It all ended up me hesitating between 2 and 3. However, in my opinion, the shades of Naked 3 suit my skin tone / eye / hair better, so I ordered it.

It's probably made in paradise.

Not kidding.

Of course, as usually it comes with four eyeshadow primer potions: Original, Eden, Sin and Anti-Aging. I still haven't used them and can't say anything about them.

Since this is Urban Decay, there is no doubt quality of the product is amazing. Next, the eyeshadows are highly pigmented, soft and blendable, basically, convenient to use. The highlight of Naked 3 is that all colours are pinky or rosy tones. Although I would say on some people they truly look as ridiculously pinky-pinky, but gorgeous and neutral on others. Again, that is skin type, colour of the eyes / hair thing.

The palette includes a dual-ended eyebrush. To be honest with you, it actually not as bad as usual brush that comes with different eyeshadow palettes. Especially. the "blending" one is on point.

As you can see there are only three matte eyeshadows in the Naked 3: Strange, Limit and Nooner. I really like using them for daily makeup when I go somewhere with my bestie or just want to look better. I apply Strange on the brow bone and in the inner corner, Limit on the lid and a littli bit of Nooner in the crease.

All of the others eyeshadows are shimmery. My favourite ones from here are:

Blackheart - rich deep purple with red sparkles

Darkside - glimmery gray that is great for making smokey eye makeup

Trick - gorgeous gold which very compliment my eye colour

In general, I would say the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette is perfect for brown eyes. They look incredible with the hints of pink!

What is your favourite Naked Palette - 1,2,3 or you prefer Basics?

Lots of love, Yana :3

December Favourites

December, as 2014, is over! So, it's definitely time for monthly favourites.

L'Oreal Elseve Extraordinary Oil

This product has changed my life from head to toe.

My hair is not very tangled however gets messy quickly. So this problem always pissed me off, because no matter how well I styled my hair, it looked crap.

Of course, I heard about hair oils more than once. But one question bothered me : my hair will get sticky and dirty because of it? Just admit it, sometimes that happens.

One day in December I decided to buy L'Oreal Extraordinary Oil.

My hair never looked and felt as stunning as after using this oil. The becomes shiny and silky! And also smells very lovely. Long story short, I love it.

Holidays

As I had said before, holidays is one of the reasons why people should adore winter.

My schoolbreak began on the 7th of December and lasts until the middle of January. Crazy! I now have so much time to spend blogging and any other joyable things.

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

I don't know about you guys, but I'm a big fan of Victoria Secret Fashion Show.

There are lots of people who say they hate VSFS as it makes them uncomfortable and more insecure about themselves. Personally, I belong to that who get inspired to work on myself after watching it. Moreover, I don't feel guilty for not looking that "perfect".

Frankly speaking, I'm tickled pink over Victoria's angels not only because of their bodies, but energy they radiate/send out. Inspiration and happiness are fulling me during watching the show. Am I alright?

Signorina by Salvatore Ferragamo

May I just say about my obsession of buying and trying new fragrances? Whatever that sounds, but I like when everything smells nice and good! *Obviously*

Luckily, my parents got me this Signorina perfume which is absolutely magical. I would describe it as elegant, subtle, luscious and potent. The odour is fresh and full of life as its hero - a young Signorina.

Yves Saint Laurent Volupte Sheer Candy

Yep, YSL lippy is my new guilty pleasure as well. Read my full expresion over here.

What have you been loving through the December? Let me know! x

P.S I know there are not lots of beauty stuff, but well, who knows what January will bring?
