If you’ve already heard of the French skincare brand Filorga, then congratulations – you were better informed than I was. For me, it was a completely new discovery while browsing Elnino. But before I get into how I pampered my face, allow me a few lines about the brand itself. Because to really understand Filorga, you need some background. Filorga is a professional skincare line well known in the world of anti-ageing treatments. In 2007, they launched their first product range suitable for at-home use, not just specialized clinics. The range is called Medi-Cosmetique® and it’s designed to deliver non-invasive…

Most of the time, I can totally get on board with the way fragrance brands (and Elnino) describe their perfumes. The storytelling paints a clear picture—you see the person, the scene, the mood. It usually works like a charm, and as you’re reading, you’re nodding along like, “Yep, that’s exactly it.” But with Guess 1981 Indigo, something strange happened. The official narrative missed me by a mile. Like your friend gave you an address, you plugged it into the GPS, and ended up not 2 kilometers away—but a full lightyear off. According to Guess, this scent is the embodiment of…
Before I let you take a whiff of Hermès Un Jardin Sur La Lagune, let me ask you something. Have you ever wondered why we cling to photographs so much? Why we save them, revisit them with misty eyes, and guard them like precious treasures? Just a piece of glossy paper? Not quite. What we really feel is the memory. Frozen in time. We captured a moment we never want to forget – a place we visited, someone we loved, or a feeling that shook us to our core. And don’t tell me you’ve never felt a lump in your…
About a year and a half ago, I decided that black hair was a thing of the past, and I was going for red. I naively thought henna would help me achieve that. Those in the know are probably already aware of how unrealistic that expectation was. While henna is amazing for hair care, it does not lighten your hair. Not even by a fraction. Henna dyes, but it doesn’t lighten. And if you layer too much henna on your hair, it gets darker. No amount of holy water mixed with peroxide is going to fix that. Your options are…
I first tried the French brand Caudalie thanks to a collaboration with Czech eshop Elnino, where I selected my first products. Until then, I had no idea about this cosmetic treasure from Bordeaux. And let me tell you, it’s something you absolutely need to try. Seriously, you need to. To my dismay (or perhaps not so much?), I discovered that they stock the full range of this brand at Müller in Zadar. Which, of course, is a bit of a trap. What you don’t see, doesn’t hurt… but I can’t help but feel a little panicked every time I walk…
How would you describe your fragrance taste? Imagine you had to come up with three words to share with someone across the table, and in return, they would give you a key to a room filled from floor to ceiling with perfumes that match your description. Could you decide? Try it. I would choose three ingredients: neroli, bergamot, and jasmine. I’m certain that if a perfume contains one of these notes (or all of them at once!), there’s a good chance it will hit the right note with me and we’ll get along very well. Given this, it’s probably clear…
I’m not sure whether this is good or bad news, but I just found out that Caudalie is available in Müller in Zadar. And they’ve got such a glorious selection that I seriously need three more faces to try everything! This brand totally stole my heart—and my skin. I fell for it just like I once did with L’Occitane, which, fun fact, is what inspired me to start blogging in the first place. That’s how big of a love story we’re talking about here! So far, I’ve been trying out a little mix of Caudalie skincare. If you haven’t already,…
Did you know that even high-end perfume houses are diving into the world of all-natural scents? And I don’t mean “we added two drops of flower extract and called it a day” kind of natural. No fine print. No marketing tricks. Today’s perfume is 100% natural, vegan, made with ethically sourced hand-picked organic rose, lemon, blackcurrant, neroli, cedarwood, and mimosa. Its name? Chloé Rose Naturelle Intense. To be honest, I’ve never been a huge fan of Chloé perfumes. They always bloom on my skin with such intensity that I can’t not notice them throughout the day – and it drives…
The moment I discovered Acqua di Parma Bergamotto di Calabria, I was instantly hooked—and honestly, I’m still amazed by how deeply we connect. We’re on the same wavelength, as if we’ve always known each other. It felt like finding that final puzzle piece—the one that makes everything click into place so perfectly that you just want to sit back, gaze at your masterpiece, and sigh with pure satisfaction. There was no need to “get used to” the brand or warm up to this particular fragrance. No effort, no doubts, no overthinking. We simply fit. And I can feel it. Literally!…
Whoever decided to place lip balms right by the checkout was a marketing genius. Seriously. My eyes always wander to that little display, and suddenly I’m mentally scanning my lip balm stash, wondering which one I still don’t have. This time, my hand reached for the honey version by Burt’s Bees. I have a deep trust in honey as a cosmetic ingredient, and after recently testing a propolis ointment on a cut finger (with magical results), my love for bee-based goodness only grew. So grabbing a lip balm full of the same golden magic? A no-brainer. Brand Buzz: A Little…
