How would you describe the benefits of avocado oil in one sentence? Simple. It’s BIO Botox in a bottle. This emerald-green miracle visibly smooths your skin and keeps it firm and soft. The most noticeable results can be seen when you use it around the eyes. The delicate, thin skin stays soft, beautifully nourished, and surprisingly resistant to wrinkles. There, I’ve spilled the beans in the first paragraph, so now all you need to do is click on the link, check it out, and decide if you want to give this magical green bottle a chance. Because I wouldn’t hesitate.…

Face cleansing foams have made their way through my blog for quite some time. Some were better, others worse, and a few left me completely floored. Where does L’Occitane’s Immortelle Cleansing Foam fall in this list, which I finished just last week? Definitely in the latter group! In fact, I wouldn’t hesitate to crown it with a metaphorical cosmetic Oscar because it was undoubtedly one of the best (if not the best) I’ve ever used. I often visit the L’Occitane store in Zadar during sales events because a 20-30% discount is something my wallet certainly feels, and it’s absolutely worth…
Every now and then, I love to indulge in a series binge – and not only do I not feel guilty about lounging on the couch with snacks, but I also thoroughly enjoy it! I switch off my brain, relax, and recharge! Recently, I watched the latest season of Emily in Paris and am already eagerly waiting for the next one, especially since the storyline has moved to Italy, which I absolutely love! But that’s not what I wanted to write about today – I got distracted by something else. If you’ve watched the series, did you notice what Emily…
It was a sunny June day in Poreč, a town on the Istrian coast of Croatia. The summer air was almost tangible, and if I closed my eyes and ignored the seagulls’ cries and the sound of waves in the harbor, I might have mistaken the surroundings for the Sahara. Such a heatwave swept through Istria in the pre-summer month! Going outside for long without a bottle of water? You’d be sure to get a sunstroke! My partner and I wisely agreed on this, and before heading out to admire the sights, we stopped by a store for two bottles…
That glorious moment when the postman rings your doorbell and hands over a massive box from Elnino… It’s the beauty lover’s version of Christmas morning. I swear I was more jittery than a coffee addict who’s just been tricked into drinking decaf. Inside? The iconic Guerlain Météorites Pearls in shade 2 Clair/Light, the Guerlain KissKiss Matte Lipstick in M377 Wild Plum, and a Chanel eyebrow pencil in 60 Noir Cendré (a smoky, ash-black shade). Let’s skip the part where I looked like a kid getting a dream train set for their birthday, and go straight to the juicy beauty stuff.…
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…
