Let's talk about favourites | March

March was such a great month, I just realized that! I've done many things I've never done before, hope yours was even better than mine despite the weather ;)

Let's start with beauty.

I started using Essence Stay all day concealer 16h long lasting and I love it. Doesn't dry out your skin, covers imperfections pretty well, but most importantly, it covers up dark circles. I bought both colours: 10 Natural beige and 20 Soft beige.

Another Essence product is their Stay matt lip cream in 03 Soft nude. It's basically the same colour as my lips but it makes them sexier ;). It doesn't dry out my lips and it's really hydrating. I'm planning to do a review post soon.

Now to the polishes ... I wore Catrice I wear my sunglasses at night a lot. It's basically black polish with glitter, I call it galaxy nail for lazy manicurists! :D I believe it was discontinued.
Another Catrice polish I've been loving whole month is After Eight. It's on a darker green side with shimmer. Really pretty ... and discontinued as well.

As it goes for skin care. You know I love Argan oil and I am still sticking to it. You can read my review here. Skin on my face has never felt so soft and delicious! :D
Last skin product I've been loving is Akamuti Virgin Wildcrafted Shea Butter. Really rich, intensive moisturiser, suitable for dry skin and it's also 100 % natural and additive free.


Now to the non-beauty related stuff.

My favourite song of the month has to be The Mowgli's - San Francisco! Gotta love the lyrics!

Best book I've read this month was Slovenian one, I wish it was translated in other languages, because it's such an amazing strong book filled with love: Cristy Žmahar - Nebesa odgovarjajo (Heaven replying). Highly recommend for open minded people ;). And it has nothing to do with religion.

Aaand movies I enjoyed watching were Silver Linings Playbook (gotta love JLaw! :)) and The Intouchables (laughed so hard that I couldn't even breathe normally :D).

I think that's it for March favourites. Hope you're having a fabulous day! :)

January favourites

Yes, another post today. I haven't done any serious blogging past month and I have SO MANY IDEAS and things to blog about, so I'll have to do 2 posts per day sometimes. Ooops, I hope you don't mind ;)

Let's start with makeup.
If I wore any makeup in January (that was a rare occasion)  it was pretty simple and my favourite throw on lippie was Bourjois Rouge edition in 04 Rose tweed. I blogged about it here: click. 
Another lip product I've been loving is Hurraw! Black cherry tinted lip balm. It gives my lips teeny tiny tint, makes my lips super soft and smells ah-mazing!! I got this from my sister for Christmas. Thank you sister! :))

I needed a new mascara and I was in a mood to try something new. I usually buy Artdeco All in one mascara, this is actually the only mascara that gives some life to my light, short, invisible lashes. So I randomly bought Catrice Lashes to kill mascara, which I really like now. I think it's comparable to the Artdeco one and it's much cheaper, too!

I was searching for a good brush to contour and I think that MUA blush brush F6 does a good job with that and it's super soft. For contouring powder I've been using MUA Bronzed perfection a lot. Shade is quite different from the NYX Taupe one (review here; I believe it was discontinued!! :O), but still without orange undertones and works so well.

This Hot blue from NYX girls nail polish was my "go to" polish in Jan. I can never go wrong with blue polish ... or red ... or black :).

Now non-beauty favourites. I had -30 % on food/supplements/drinks in drugstore DM, so I went little crazy with buying food. I'm a vegetarian and because I eat healthy, I need "double needs" and I find many good things at DM (natural peanut butter, bread, quinoa, hemp seeds, hemp protein powder, chia seeds ...). I've been loving KOH Coconut 100 % Pure Coconut Water, I put it in smoothies and just drink it without as it is before or after my workout, because it's really revitalizing and refreshing. I just love it :)


I love mermaids ... and Pirates of the Caribbean, of course. I was searching a little bit on Youtube, I always love to watch how they make movies, behind the scenes, bloopers etc. And I discovered this amazing cover of My Jolly Sailor Bold, which was also sang in POTC4. It's so mesmerising.

Happy February!!

Don't forget to enter my *blogiversary GIVEAWAY!* :))

November favourites

Can you believe it's already December tomorrow? Time to talk about my favourite products/things of the month. I don't have to show you any makeup, because of my eye surgery, but now I can start wearing eye makeup again and that makes me über happy :)

1. I know it's not really a fall colour, but it really made me happy before and after surgery :) Orly polish in Glowstick is perfect neon yellow, I apply it over matte white polish.

2. Has anyone ever mentioned a toothpaste in a favourites post? Well, I've been really liking Himalaya Herbals Ayurvedic Dental cream. 

3. My favourite night cream must be this New Dawn Patchouli Healer. I think it really improved my skin texture and it feels so soft in the morning! I will review it and you can also win it in my Christmas giveaway: here.

4. Another skin care products. I have quite sensitive skin and it's hard to find alcohol free toner and that it actually does something for your skin. Kahne Witch hazel toner is a great toner, it does its job like a boss! :)

5. Another product you can win in my giveaway and I love it to pieces, is this Afrodita Anti-age Aroma hand and nail cream. It makes my hands super soft, nourishes it and smells amazing. 

6. I read those two books before surgery and I really really really liked them. I cried, I laughed, I didn't want to put them down although it was bed time. Kluun - A Woman Comes to a Doctor/Love life  and The Widower.

What are your monthly favourites? Let me know :)

September favourites

It's this time of the month again. Time to tell you all about my favourites! So, let's start, I have a lot of stuff to show you!

I fell in love with Sleek Au naturel palette. I've been using it almost every day since I bought it and you probably seen that in my makeup blog posts. It's mentioned almost in every one. It has such beautiful range of natural colours! Who need Naked palette anyways? :)

I always wanted to buy more pigments, but they can be really expensive. So, thank you Essence for releasing Essence pigments. There is nothing not to love about them. Super pigmented, cheap, easy to use. Brilliant.

Another Essence product has to be their Colour & go nail polish in 129 the boy next door. I love blue varnishes, clothes, shoes, blue everything. Such a lovely colour!

And another Essence product (this is the last one, I promise) is Liquid eyeliner waterproof. I was searching for a good liquid eyeliner for the longest time, bought this "by accident" and I can't really complain about it, especially because my eyes can get pretty watery sometimes and smudge my makeup (and it looks like I don't know how to apply makeup).

Hello, I'm Deja and I am lipstick addict. I ordered 3 lippies from MUA (swatched here: click) and I've been using Nectar one a lot lately. It's just such a beautiful shade and I really like texture of their lipsticks.

My ophthalmologists recommended I stop wearing contact lenses for a month and use Refresh eye drops at least 8 times a day. I've been using them before, but now I realized how refreshing they really are for my eyes. Haven't stopped wearing lenses, I just wear them less. Bad patient :)

I finally emptied my UDPP (had it for more than a year) and decided to try Too faced Shadow insurance. Been doing a great job for me. Ordered on eBay.

Two brushes I've been loving are pointed brush for eyeliner with no name and fluffy blending brush from BHcosmetics.

And my favourite song this month has to be Gangnam Style. No more word needed (thank you, Petite Sal, who tweeted this song, it has been on repeat ever since :P). K-pop ftw.

I think that's finally it! What are your favourites for this month? Have you tried any of these products?

Have a lovely day,

August favorites + September challenge

Omg, times goes by so fast! It's already the end of August! That means only 4 favourite posts until new year. Can you believe it? :D
So, let's just start with my monthly favourites, shall I :)

It was so unbelievably hot this month that my feet got swollen and it wasn't really a pleasant feeling. I bought Badger foot balm Peppermint & tea tree with my last order from BB Natura and hey! It helped! I applied it before bed time and next morning my feet looked much much better. Badger balms never disappoint me!

I wanted to mention Beauty blender in my last monthly favourites, but I forgot, silly me. I bought it on eBay and it's a dupe to a real beauty sponge, and it works great for me. I've heard that dupes are not as near as good as the original ... I'm wondering how the original works. :)

I like scented candles a lot. My favorites are from drugstore DM, it's their brand called Profissimo. Mango and papaya scent is the best :).

Favorite song: We are never ever getting back together cover by Joey Graceffa and Luke Conard. It's just pure awesomeness! :)

Second favourite song: Kno - La petite mort (Come die with me). I'm still into un-mainstream music :) (and right now I'm listening to Britney Spears :D).

Now to the September challenge, I'm participating in THREE nail challenge by Mateji ustvarjata/Two Matejas creating. Because they are so super cool and kind, they let me do makeup looks, because I'm not really a nail expert :D
Expect 9 new makeup looks from me this month. So super excited about this challenge! :)

Have a lovely day!

Monthly faves: JULY!

End of the month can mean only one: it's time for monthly favourites! I usually always get a positive feedback on those short "reviews" of my favourite things, that's why I decided to start writing separate review posts, because some products are my all time favourites and will never make it into my monthly faves, because I use them all the time. Tell me your thoughts on that. :)

First product, I've been using a lot is Essence Marble mania blush in 01 swirlpool. It's a nice rosy shimmery blush, which gives my cheeks really pretty glow and I don't even have to use a highlighter with it, because it's already shimmery. :)

My favourite of the favourites has to be Seche Vite Dry fast top coat. It dries your polish in a minute, after ten minutes I can make myself a lunch :D. It makes my nail colouring so much easier, because I always manage to ruin my manicure somehow. I bought this magic bottle on E-bay, I think it was around 7 €.

Second nail polish I've been loving this month (I actually had it for a year now, but used it only once, because it dries so slowly, but thank you Dry fast top coat, you make my life so much easier :D) is Essence multi dimension XXXL shine in 68 Perfectly true. It's white with no glitter, shimmer, just plain white varnish :).

Another polish I've been loving lately is Essence colour & go in 38 Choose me! Year ago I wasn't really into shimmery polishes, but now I just love them. This one looks so cute on my toe nails!

I've been listening a lot of non-mainstream and non-commercial music, because working in a shop with clothes you hear that sh*t every day and some songs just make you nervous an you start hating them! :) On repeat this month: The Cunninglynguists - Darkness.

I am doing much more yoga and I started liking it. I still like my HIIT workouts though, but some days I feel like doing something much less impulsive or I combine both - high intensity interval training and yoga. I'm still a beginner at it :).

My favourite food of the month has to be salad. It's been so hot through all month that I'm not really in the mood to cook anything. I mix all kind of veggies, sometimes even fruit, mozzarella cheese, tuna, beans and other yummy healthy stuff :).

I know I'm kinda late, but finally I found time to watch all new episodes of True Blood season 5. Super excited for a new episode :). Do you watch True Blood? Which TV series do you like most?

That all for today's post. What are your faves of the month?

June favourites!

Sorry I've been MIA lately. I've been really busy busy and it's so freakin' hot, I don't even feel like blogging, although you don't really have to move much while blogging :D ...
It July already, I can't believe it! It's time for the monthly favourites:

My favourite fragnance of the month is Essence Like a trip to NY. I found it randomly in Muller and all their fragnances smell so spring/summer-y and so lovely! I wanted to buy all of them (haha. They are not that expensive though). Have you tried them? Which one is your favourite?

Best pimple killer is Purifiying oil Pure nature Organic tea tree and rosemary from Oriflame. I use it before going to bed.

I started using new night cream. I bought it on BB natura and it's from Derma E Ester C Creme with E. My skin in the morning is so soft and hydrated. My previous cream was also Derma E. Derma E never disappoints me :)

I love E.l.f. and of course I had to order some new goodies from their site. E.l.f. lipsticks are really creamy and pigmented. I bought two of them and the only thing I don't like is that they don't have a name on them. That's why I can't tell you the names. Both of them are in the pink family :)

Currently my best nail polish remover is Aveo mandel mit Aceton. It removes glitter like a boss! :)) Bought  it at Muller.

The best movie I saw in June was definitelly 21 jump street. This was the most hilarious comedy I have seen in a really long time. I was  laughing even the next day after seeing a movie. Highly recommend it! :)

I wasn't really reading any book this month, because I had to study for my exams (never ending story). And no particular song was on repeat this month ... (although I still like Payphone :))).

What are yours monthly favourites?

Have a lovely Monday!!

End of May! Favourites time

I don't really have to show you a lot of stuff I've been loving in the month of May. I put some things together I've been using, reading, loving, watching ... and some random blabbing  :).

I finally got my first Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters. Those babies has been rocking my life ... Especially the orange one - Tutti Frutti. Will do a separate blog kinda reviewing them, if you like.

I've been using Bourjois Healthy mix concealer for the longest time (I repurchased it about five times). It's my all time fave concealer, and it's my monthly favourite, because I've been using less liquid foundation, because it's quite hot outside and I don't want my face to melt :). It gives me perfect coverage to hide my imperfections.

The book I'm still reading is from Jillian Michaels Winning by losing. It's a really good motivational book about how to lose weight and love yourself. Very different from other books with this topic. So far I've been loving it.

Favourite song:

I have incorporated a lot of dumbbells in my workouts. I think it really starts to show in my arms (I like strong arms :)). They're my roommate's, but I'm the only one using them :D. 2 kg each.

The end of May means the end of my challenge I posted at the beginning of month: "for every workout you do, you put 1€ in a piggy bank". I earned 30 €. I didn't do my workout just for one day, because my hip was in pain. Don't know why, now it's OK. Don't know what I'm going to buy with this money, probably something related to working out ... sports bra or maybe heavier dumbbells :D.

You can still enter my giveaway HERE, if you haven't yet. It ends next Sunday.

Have a lovely night,

April favourites!!

It's kinda normal to do monthly favourites at the beginning of the month, right? :) I was really thinking what products I used most this month and loved them. I put together some things, which aren't all beauty related, because my blog is not just about cosmetics ... So, I hope you like it <3

1. You always have to set you liquid foundation with a loose or pressed powder, because the last thing you have to worry about is that your foundation doesn't stay put during the day. I really like E.l.f. Studio High Definition Powder at the moment and it's really cheap, too. So it's a must have product.


2. I have very thick and long eyebrows and like them groomed and filled in. In last monthly favourites I mentioned Catrice shadow, in April I've been using a lot of Catrice Eye brow stylist 030 Brow-n-eyed Peas. It much faster, because with shadow you need a brush, this pencil has even a spoolie brush on the other side. How cool is that? :) (Tuš drogerija)

3. Orange lipsticks are so underrated, I think. I'm gonna rock this summer with corals and oranges. My fave at the moment is Catrice Ultimate Colour 050 Princess Peach. (Tuš drogerija)

4. Oriflame Love potion is my favourite fragrance at the moment. It's little bit sweeter than other fragrances I use, bit it still works for me. It's a yummy scent :)

5. I'm a big green tea lover. But the other day I randomly bought Teekanne Garden Selection tea and I've been drinking it almost every single day and it's not even a green tea. :) (DM)

6. My favourite books this month have been all three from The Hunger Games. You may know I'm a fan, since I've done two makeup looks inspired by the movie and books (look #1, look #2). The movie is OK, but books are so much more real (I don't even know if this is a right word :P), the description of an author really pictures the place, characters ... Couldn't recommend them more. I read them in English, and the second one (Catching fire) is the best! :)

What are yours monthly favourites?
