My Essentials For Cold Weather

Image
As the days are getting colder, I always need to make sure that I have things, to help me survive. My hands get super dry, when it's cold and it's pretty uncomfortable, so I always try to have hand cream with me. My fave hand cream is Neutrogena 's Nourishing Hand Cream With Nordic Berry . This saved my hands, this has never irritated my skin, only makes them super soft and has a nice forest-y, nordic berry smell. My lips also get dry and I absolutely love lip balms. So my favourites are Maybelline's Baby Lips, EOS and Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula lip balms. I think Palmer's lip balms are best for the colder days and their size is small, so those are good for travelling. Obviously gotta have some tissues. A scarf is a must have! Also a hat and mittens aren't bad. With cold weather my hair gets dry and weird, so an oil care product or leave-in conditioner saves me. Moisturising face always helps. I try to use a moisturising body wash, because I...

Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara - Quick Review

Image
  I needed a new mascara, but I didn't know which one to buy, so after reading many reviews about many different mascaras, I landed on this one. This mascara says that this will curl your lashes, make them longer and add volume. I was really excited to try this out, because Fleur de Force and Zoella had loved this.   So first I use the short bristle part of the mascara wand to add volume to the roots and then I turn to the longer side to curl and give length. When I have applied the mascara on my eyelashes, I take an old mascara's clean and dry mascara wand to separate some lashes and remove excess mascara. I really like the mascara's texture. Also when I went to the shower with this mascara, I didn't end up looking like a panda, because the mascara came off my lashes in little chunks. Overall I love the curl and length this mascara gives to my lashes. I would definitely recommend this.

OGX Shampoos And Conditioners - Review

Image
I am so in love with OGX hair products. I bought the OGX Argan Oil Renewing shampoo and conditioner, because of a post on 9GAG. And it was the best thing ever. After the first wash my hair was completely changed, it was shiny, silky and bright. So I have been using OGX products ever since and I definitely want to try out all the different products OGX has. Price 10.90€ Renewing argan oil of morocco is OGX 's signature line. They say that the argan oil is sourced straight from Morocco. Rich in natural vitamin E and super-charged antioxidants, this special ingredient has been making hair gorgeous for centuries. First of all the smell is so good. The shampoo and conditioner have a nice golden colour. This shampoo gets really nice and foamy in the shower. I apply the conditioner from the middle part of my hair to the ends, not on the roots, because that might leave the hair roots a bit greasy. Hair was silky and shiny after wash, just amazing. The second one I tried was th...

Tips for Flawless Hair

Avoid heating tools Heating tools can dry and fry out hair, which leads to split ends and overall damage. Sleep on a silk pillowcase Silk is softer on your hair, prevents moisture loss and breakage Shampoo and condition with cold water Hot water might damage and dry your hair, but cold water seals in moisture and shine Don't brush wet hair Your hair is not strong when wet and brushing it leads to hair breakage Coconut Oil Coconut oil is really moisturising, so if you have dry hair, apply coconut oil on the ends Don't wash your hair everyday Washing daily can strip too much of your natural hair oils and dry your hair out Don't use too many hair products Using products too much might weaken your hair and leave it a mess Use good quality shampoos and conditioners They have more good benefits for your hair

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water - Quick Review

Image
When everyone was raving about micellar water, I just had to try it out. So starting small, I bought the  Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water  mini format. Basically what you do is pour some of it on a clean cotton pad and swipe it across your face. You can use this to remove makeup or to just cleanse. Also no rinsing needed and it's great for all skin types. This removes makeup really well and it doesn't dry my face. It's also hypoallergenic, which I think is just great. Basically every time I use mascara, I get mascara on my eyelids, so I just pour this on a Q-tip to easily remove any mascara around my eyes. But micellar water is not the best eye makeup remover. During summer I used micellar water to take off sunscreen or sweat from my face. I bought the PureActive Micellar Water for my brother, so he could cleanse his face and treat few blemishes. I have also used this to remove my makeup. Both products are really good and definitely a must have for lazy peop...

Rimmel BB Cream Radiance - Quick Review

Image
  I bought this after reading many good reviews, but I was really disappointed. Rimmel 9-in1 Skin Perfecting Super Makeup has SPF 20. I love that this BB Cream has vitamin C complex and that it's non comedogenic.  So this "Super" Makeup  1) Primes 2) Smoothes 3) Conceals 4) Helps minimise the appearance of pores 5) Provides natural looking coverage 6) Moisturises for 24 hours (Why?) 7) Awakens tired skin 8) Brightens the skin, with vitamin C complex 9) Gives a radiant finish Dermatologist tested. Clinically tested. Non Comedogenic. Shade LIGHT was too dark and the colour was a bit orange-ish This had more coverage, but it didn't look natural with my spots. It also got greasy super fast. So it was very uncomfortable to wear this throughout the day. Anyways I didn't like it. This isn't for people with blemishes or oily skin.
