My perfume review - Armani Code EDP

This perfume is one of my all time favourites! I fell in love with that fragrance few years ago and still love it as much as at the very beginning...
For the first time Armani Code was introduced in 2006. It was created by three perfumers: Carlos Benaim, Dominique Ropion and Oliver Polge.

How I would describe this fragrance is: fresh, warm, spicy, aromatic, elegant and long lasting. Absolutely astonishing composition of notes!
I would use it for evenings or winter. It definitely makes me feel relaxed, cheered up and confident. It makes me feel like a woman...

Composition of notes

The bottle of Armani Code contains the perfect combination of fresh orange blossom, spicy ginger and warm sandalwood.
Top notes: African bitter orange, Italian sweet orange, jasmine
Heart notes: Tunisian orange blossom, jasmine and ginger
Base notes: vanilla, honey, sandalwood

Durability of fragrance

This is a long lasting perfume. Once sprayed lasts up to 7-8 hours on my skin. I can sill smell it on my clothes on next day.

Appearance of the bottle

In my opinion the image of the bottle matches to the fragrance. It is dark and mysterious. The combination of colours: black on the top part of the bottle, then slightly becoming midnight blue to the light blue on the bottom gives the spooky impression of the fragrance. Black flowers on the side of the bottle brings gothic style to it. The shape of the bottle is simple, slender and easy to hold during application.

Thank you for visiting. I hope you enjoyed.

Frizz Ease hair finish serum review

 Hi everyone! Today, I am going to review my favourite polishing/finish serum. It is John Frieda Frizz Ease Perfect Finish. My hair is naturally wavy and frizzy, so I rely on products like this.
This product is full of silicone ingredients, but it is not a bad thing in term of finish look. We should only avoid silicone in shampoos and hair conditioners. Silicones, if used on dry hair, (never apply them on roots!) make them smooth and create isolation from negative influences of our environment. They build up a protective barrier for our hair.
My hair is smooth and shiny after using John Frieda Polishing Serum.

At the end I would like to clarify that all products I review on my blog are chosen and bought by myself. Thank you for visiting my blog.

Tisserand - my new beauty discovery

I often get inspired by people, places, art. I like spending time on walking around the shops, looking at their assortment and discover new products and brands. Few days ago I visited Jarrold. This shopping centre is different than John Lewis, House of Fraser or Debenhams. The atmosphere of that place is different, calmer, relaxed. The layout of assortment and products caught my eye. At Jarrold I have discovered cosmetic brands that I have not discovered anywhere else...
This time I am displaying two products of Tisserand. One of them is luxury bath soak. Another one is deodorant. Both in lavender aroma.
A lavender has great properties of calming, relaxing and killing a pain. It can be used also as an antibacterial alternative for wounds. These two products contain a blend of lavender with extracts from other plants. What else I like about these two products is the fact they are natural and smell awesome...
Most of deodorants contain aluminium, which prevents from perspiration. In fact, it is important to remove toxins out of our body by perspiration. Aluminium stops that process and this is harmful. This deodorant is also paraben-free product. Both cosmetics contain only natural fragrances.

My new Dior products

 At the beginning, I would like to mention that this article is not been sponsored or paid by Dior. I choose my make up products and pay for them. I am fully aware of their properties and values.
Why Dior? I love great quality cosmetics and make up products, especially if I care about my skin and try to follow healthy style regime.
I love fashion and Dior style. I remember when I was a teenager I had a look at one of the lifestyle magazines and discovered photos from Christian Dior fashion show inspired by gothic style. It was amazing. Their costumes, make up and hair looks.
The other thing is the appearance of Dior products, such perfume bottles, cream jars...They just look exquisite and luxury.
I also care about ingredients used by the designer brand. I really like creams and foundations from Dior at this point.
I still keep an empty jar after cream Dior Hydralife somewhere...It was fantastic cream! My favourite foundation is Dior Star. Great coverage, natural look and long lasting effect.
Finally, few years ago my favourite actress, Natalie Portman became a face of Dior campaign: Miss Dior and make up products such foundations and lipsticks.
These are my reasons, why I love Dior products so much...
[Na poczatku, chcialabym wspomniec, ze ten artykul nie zostal zasponsorowany, czy oplacony przez marke Dior. Samodzielnie wybieram produkty do makijazu i place za nie. Jestem w pelni swiadoma ich wlasciwosci i wartosci.
Dlaczego Dior? Kocham swietnej jakosci kosmetyki i produkty do makijazu, zwlaszcza jesli dbam o moja skore i staram sie podazac za zdrowym stylem zycia.
Kocham mode i styl Dior. Pamietam, ze jako nastolatka przegladalam czasopismo i odkrylam zdjecia z pokazu mody Dior inspirowane gotykiem. To bylo niesamowite. Kostiumy, makijaz i wlosy.
Kolejna rzecza jest wyglad produktow od Dior takich jak butelki perfum, czy sloiczki kremow...Wygladaja po prostu pieknie i luksusowo.
Wciaz przechowuje gdzies pusty sloiczek po kremie Dior Hydralife...To byl fantastyczny krem! Moim ulubionym podkladem jest Dior Star. Swietne krycie, naturalny wyglad i dlugotrwaly efekt.
Wreszcze, kilka lat temu moja ulubiona aktorka, Natalie Portman stala sie twarza kampanii Dior Miss Dior i kilku produktow do makijazu takich jak podklad i pomadki do ust.
To sa moje powody, dla ktorych kocham produkty od Dior...]
 Dior Addict - My new lipstick! Pink, why not! [Moja nowa pomadka do ust! Rozowa!]
I cannot believe, how long it lasts on my lips! [Naprawde dlugo utrzymuje sie na ustach!]
 I love this colour. It is the best colour of lip gloss I ever bought! Dior Addict nr 686 Fancy [Moj najlepszy wybor koloru blyszczyka, jaki kiedykolwiek kupilam!]
 Usually, I choose a pink lip gloss, but I thought: I am buying a pink lipstick, so I will go for something different. [Zazwyczaj wybieram rozowe byszczyki, ale skoro kupilam rozowa pomadke, pomyslalam, ze dobrze bedzie wybrac cos w innym kolorze.]

My beloved Blickling Hall























Blickling Hall is my favourite historical building in Norfolk. I used to come here with my friends or on my own, happy or sad, in winter or summer...I am a National Trust member, so I have free entry to this building and many others in whole country. I always come back here, cause I feel here like home...I also like long walk in the gardens, having picnic with friends or have a coffee here. I like the architecture of the building, Tudor style...
We cannot stop time, we cannot turn back time, but we can come back to places which connect as with the history and survived all odd and cruel times, before we were born to this life...

Blickling Hall jest moim ulubionym historycznym budynkiem w Norfolku. Mialam zwyczaj tu wpadac z moimi przyjaciolmi albo sama, szczesliwa albo smutna, zima albo latem...jestem czlonkiem National Trust, wiec mam wstep wolny to tego budynku i wielu innych w kraju. Zawsze tu powracam, poniewaz czuje sie tu jak w domu...Lubie takze dlugie spacery w tutejszych ogrodach, wypad na piknik z przyjaciolmi albo kawe. Podoba mi sie architektura budynku, styl Tudorow...
Nie mozemy zatrzymac czasu, nie mozemy go cofnac, ale mozemy powrocic do miejsc, ktore lacza nas z historia i przezyly wszystkie dziwne i okrutne czasy, zanim przyszlo nam sie narodzic...
