Pixi Beauty Hydrating Milky Peel
It’s time for a review of a product that will clean the pores within a few minutes, remove dead skin cells without any irritation. I’m talking about the Pixi Beauty Hydrating Milky Peel gentle peel – find out below how to use it and what are the benefits of using this product.
Pixi Beauty Hydrating Milky Peel is an exfoliating cream with micro particles that give gentle exfoliation of the skin. This cream contains natural cellulose that is rich in moisture, it removes dead skin cells and lightly brightens the complexion. In addition to cellulose, it also contains coconut which nourishes the skin, probiotics that protect and balance the skin. Arganin helps in the production of collagen and elastin, and it is also a good antioxidant.
The texture is quite watery and requires a small amount to cover the entire face. Apply a thin layer onto clean skin, avoiding the area around the eyes. Leave on the skin for 2-3 minutes, gently massage into the skin and rinse off. Every time I use this product, my skin is visibly cleaner and softer the next day. This peel is gentle enough not to irritate the skin, and yet strong enough to actually see some difference.
Remington Ultimate Facial Care: Smooth & Silky Epilator
I love using facial care devices, even more so I love multifunctional devices because they save space. Today I am writing you about such a device that removes unwanted facial hair, cleanses the skin and can also massage the skin.
I’m one of those people who just can’t use any facial depilatory creams. Whatever cream I tried, it either slightly irritated my skin or I got an allergic reaction. I’m not sensitive and I’ve tried a variety of products over the years, but with facial depilatory creams I just didn’t click.
So I was looking for another solution to remove facial hair. I found the Remington Smooth & Silky facial epilator on Notino, it also has several other functions. In addition to the epilator, the device has three additional attachments – a trimmer, a massager and a cleansing brush. It runs on batteries and the attachments change depending on which treatment you want to do. The set also includes accessories for cleaning the attachments.
Epilator
This is the first epilator I have ever used and I can say that the experience is not that painful at all. It’s a bit uncomfortable, but it’s not impossible to withstand. As you use it on your face, you should be gentle handed and not press the epilator very close to the skin. It helps if you tighten the skin so you have a better look on the hairs you want to remove. It won’t remove very tiny hairs, but that you can remove with the trimmer that comes in the set.
Skincare Favorites: Cosrx & Bioderma
If you follow me on Instagram, you know I often post my skincare and makeup favorites there. I haven’t written about favorites here on the blog in a long time so it’s time to change that. For starters I will write about skin care favorites and in one of the next posts there will be makeup favorites. 🙂
Cosrx Acne Pimple Master pimple patches are a must have at home as they are a last minute salvation. They come in a pack of 24 pcs, and one pack contains three different patch sizes which is great. They are applied to a clean and dry area, there must be no skin care products on the area where you want to apply the patch, otherwise they will not be able to stick to your skin.
My Favorite Summer Products From Avène
I haven’t written for a long time about the product favorites I’m currently using so here’s one post with some summer favorites. You can also read a few short reviews about several Avene products that are in my collection during these hot summer days. 🙂
Avène Sun Minéral High Protection Tinted Compact with SPF 50 that I only recently discovered, but won me over at first sight. It is a compact mineral powder in the shade Beige 10, which is ideal for light skin tones. The shade is perfect for this summer complexion I have, and it would also suit me if I were lighter-skinned like I normally am.
It spreads easily and blends on the skin with the help of a sponge that comes in the package, leaving such a nice even complexion. It covers small imperfections and with this powder I simply have the feeling that my skin is breathing. The powder on the skin leaves a light satin finish, it doesn’t completely mattify the skin, but I don’t expect that from a product like this. On Notino you can find another darker shade of this compact, and I also recommend that you take a look at their Summer Black Friday offer.
My Current Beauty Favorites
You must have already noticed that I do not post monthly beauty favorites on here, I post favorites periodically when I collect products that I really like and use regularly. After a few months, here are finally some new beauty favorites.
I often write reviews and impressions on various products on Instagram so be sure to take a look at my profile if you haven’t already. Here on the blog, I am trying to focus more on detailed product reviews, I’m more active on Instagram and more often post the products I currently use. Enjoy reading. 🙂
Missha UV Pore Blur Starter SPF50 + PA ++++ face primer with an SPF, it fills the pores very nicely, mattifies the face and doesn’t clog my pores. It evens out my skin tone and it’s one of the best SPF products I’ve ever tried. You can read the review here.

Chloé Nomade Eau de Parfum
Never enough perfume, right? One of the newer perfumes in my collection is Chloé Nomade Eau de Parfum, a beautiful floral chypre fragrance suitable for everyday wear.
Chloé Nomade perfume water (edp) is a real fragrant treat, below you can read a few words about this perfume that won me over this summer. One perfume pump is so long lasting on the skin, clothes and skin smell nice all day, the scent stays on the body for over 12 hours. The scent doesn’t evaporate from the skin and I can smell it even the second day on the clothes I wore the day before.
Chloé Nomade is a sweet and powdery scent that immediately after application smells quite strong, I would even say masculine and nutty. Within half an hour or longer, the scent develops into a powdery tone that is really beautiful and feminine. To me, this perfume screams elegance and sophistication, and those two things will never go out of style.
The main notes of the perfume are mirabelle plum, which gives an intense and enchanting note, the base is oakmoss, which exudes sensuality and balances the delicate aroma between sweet notes. The heart of the perfume is a freesia that rounds out the whole story with its feminine and seductive notes.
Imagine a strong and independent woman who is persistent in making all her dreams come true and breaking down all obstacles that stand in her way. That would be a creative description of this feminine perfume. It ‘s a real summer perfume, and I think it will be a good scent for colder days too. I enjoy these sweet powdery scents so much, I love that this scent stays present long after application.
Chloé Nomade perfume comes in a few different sizes, my copy that you can see on this photo has 30 ml and its price is 304.90 kn. There is another version of this perfume with different notes, both perfumes can be found on Notino. There is also the option of engraving text on perfumes for 44 kn, which can be a great personalized gift.

Perfect for Spring: Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue
A few years ago I had the D&G Light Blue perfume, I used it all of the time so I got a bit bored with it at some point haha. Now I’m back at it again and I’ve reminded myself why I loved that perfume so much back then. It’s an ideal fragrance for spring and summer.
Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue eau de toilette has been on the market for almost 20 years, but it is still among the most powerful perfumes ever. Although it’s eau de toilette, it lasts all day and the smell is noticeable even 12 hours after application. It smells like that spring freshness and it’s really an airy, yet concrete perfume.
Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue is a fresh floral perfume as created for warmer weather, and mostly dominated by citrus notes that smell very nice. A combination of fruity-floral scent with a woody base that is felt all day on the skin. A very good choice for everyday wear because it’s not too intrusive but subtle and refreshing. It has that aromatic note that is present for a long time after application, which I really like.
Benefit Cha Cha Lip & Cheek Mango Tint
Thanks to my lovely friend Sandra, I got to try this Benefit Cosmetics Cha Cha Tint mango-tinted lip & cheek stain. This is a 2in1 product made for lips and cheeks, it’s a real treat for us makeup lovers.
Benefit Cosmetics Cha Cha Tint comes in a girly packaging that looks a lot like nail polish and it’s very pretty. At first glance, the mango shade definitely looks like a peachy orange shade, but as soon as I start to blend it – it turns into a baby pink shade with a bit of peach tint. The tint stays on the skin the entire day, it’s very natural on the skin and it blends so easily. It’s very pigmented, so a little goes a long way.
Empties + My Consumer Habits
Recently, I posted a brief review of all the products I have used up in the last few months on my Insta Story. The emphasis was on preparative cosmetics, along with several pieces of decorative cosmetics. I also decided to give a brief overview of products I’ve finished and some of my consumer habits.
I gave myself the task of finishing every open product before opening a new product. Given that I often try new products for my blog, that is sometimes an impossible mission. As much as I can, I try to control the amount of products I own, whether I buy them myself or get them in the form of a collaboration.
I always make sure that I don’t have a lot of open products in the same category of products. I have that in mind before opening new products and testing everything I need for reviews and for the blog. I choose products by looking at what I currently don’t have in my collection or what’s running out. That’s how I find finding place for new products. I do not want to have four face creams open at the same time as there is very little chance that I will actually have the time to use them all.
In the past year, I have switched more to skin care products, but I still enjoy doing my makeup and playing with makeup products. I have been collecting these empty products since January, since the last empties post/video I posted on YouTube. I accidentally threw out some products, such as shower gels, but I will write about the amount of products that are still with me at this point.
New in: Avon, Nivea, Garnier, Mixa, Balea…
It’s time for me to inform you what’s new in my cosmetics bag! I was going through some stuff the other day and I realized that I bought so many interesting products this month, so I decided to show them to you.Â
First is Avon Care Intensive Relief Body Lotion for extremely dry and sensitive skin, 400 ml. I already started using it and it really works for me. My skin goes crazy at winter and it’s dried out, even patchy on some parts. I keep putting lotions on and I’m still trying to find the right one. This one is good for now, we’ll see. I ordered it from Avon for 25 kunas.
Here’s another Avon product. It’s Argan Oil – hand, nail & cuticle cream. I love Avon hand creams, especially packaging of 100 ml like this one. The price of the creme was 12 kunas, it’s a good deal for those who constantly put it on their hands.
