Who wants shiny hair like Italians?

Image
I want to give you brief suggestions on three brands, three products. The first one is Loreal Elseve Huile Extraordinary Oil . The second is Bioline argan oil that you can use for your face, body and hair. The third is L'erbolario olio per i capelli con argan . And finally one of my economic and lovely favourites: Equilibra cristalli liquidi con oli naturali . So first of all, I apologise for the Italian words. I can translate them better as I explain. All of these oils are good for treated and dry hair but also for normal hair. Loreal's oil has a chewing-gum-like smell, and it makes your hair really oily. But it does help your hair look shiny, it makes it easier to take shape and it even helps the edges of your hair not to get broken. I usually use it one day before taking a shower so that it gives some kind of oily texture to my hair before I wash it. I like it and suggest it and think that it is good. Online it looks like 12.90 euros. So it is not so badly expensive

Who wants to stick (around)? Nobody!

Dear Readers, This one is about roll-ons and stick-roll-on(s) you got it right. Have long been a smelly cat myself, like Phoebe from How I met your mother would say ... It might be related to what we eat, how often we do sports, genetical etc. But still, some people need more deodorants than others. I will give you a couple of suggestions, two are okay and two are wonderful! Let's start with the "okay" ones. So the first one is  Green Natural Brezza Marina  which is really quite nice without alcohol, paraben, SLES and aluminium. I tried it a couple of times but in long days of summer, it does not suffice if you are a smelly cat type! It is made in Italy and you can find it in pharmacies. The second one is Soft and Gentle without aluminium again: it has a nice smell, a bit of lavender I would guess (the purple one). You should allow it to try before dressing. It does not contain alcohol either.  This one is made in Poland. One of my favourite ones is Clarin

Belif: A brand that surprised me!

So, okay, I am a consumerist. Otherwise, I would not have done this blog, right? How do you know I am a consumerist? -I am caught by advertisements -I go out to buy something and buy something that I do not need -I always buy things before they finish -I am attracted to all the new things that come out... brands, trends, fashion, etc. Yes, so that is how I discovered Belif . Just bought a small sample where there was hydration cream, eye cream, a mask, and a serum altogether. They were quite small. Hence, I took them with me when I had to travel for one month. Still, remember that it was a bit expensive but wanted to try it. I did not regret it, except for one thing that I will tell you soon. It is good! It is really good, just do not like the smell. It smells to chemical but it works. Well, I want to know more about the ingredients of Belif. So the ones that I used were these: so there is this serum  Hungarian Water Essence  so there is this moisturiser Acqua Bomb t

How to organise the nail polish in Marie Kondo style

Image
As we all know Marie Kondo did it and we loved her ! She organised everything so well. She was the middle child and was kind of on her own most of the time. So she started organising her room, then her friends' room and now she is organising the world. One of her tips is that you bring everything that you have from one category together: all clothes, all books, all cosmetics for instance. So before the organisation, there is some chaos... I have taken all my nail polishes and organised them. I will show this procedure to you via photos... and if you would like I can also share the colours of the products and how they look on my hands. My hands are not the most beautiful but you will have to bear with me! So the first situation is as such. I am alone with all the nail polish that I will never be able to finish all my life. Longing for the fact that my sister would be with me, to finish things would have been easier. Well, that is just a detail before I tell you how disorgan

WHAT TO DO: We will use these CLEANSERS if we have dry skin!

Image
I have experienced and suffered for you! Now here are some ideas on make-up cleansers! I hear you are saying, "you know it all!" I tell ya "yes, I do know somethings and will share it with you". And you hear me well! Have tried so many cleansers. Will categorise them as creams and as the gels that you clean and use with water... So let us start for the best ones with cream and one with oil... If you have dry skin you need to be careful not to tire your skin too much and the products shall be skiing on your face, like buttermilk. The first one is  Mixa ... This product is quite soft on the skin, I cannot say that it cleans perfectly but it does 90 per cent of the job. And it has a very soft smell, does not smell too much of cosmetics although it is cosmetics... it is hard to get I admit, however, I have seen many Mixa products on amazon for instance. The second one is the Turkish one as I am Turkish, this has been always one of the favourites of mo

You are nothing but all scrubs to me!

Image
Having dry skins searched for the right scrub for a long long time. I found one but I am not sure if they are producing it anymore. It was called  Maison Bio  exfoliant... It is really a good one, it is delicate on the skin, does not scratch at all. Suggest it if you can find it! Then I found  Lancome's scrub , the colour pink, the smell of roses, really looking like a good one. But my hubby used it more than I did, as I thought it was not so right for the delicate skins, dry skins, in other words. Cause it has these particles that are like rose petals but it is very dry, and it is felt on the skin when I do a bit of scrub. So maybe for someone with oily skin, it might be okay, for dry and sensitive skin, no! Then there was this  Loreal Sugar scrub  with cacao and sugar... I like it as it does not harm the skin, but it leaves my skin oily, not the kind of oil I like though... it is very temporary and it feels a bit weird... Need to admit that it is good. However, I f

Maybe in winter we need to be hydrating our skin more?

Now that winter is approaching more hydrating creams might be needed. I will give you a combination of well known and less known brands from different places. This time there will be just a few products but I will explain how they work... First one is the Yves Rocher Anti-pollution UV Beauty shield cream... it is such a nice one that keeps your skin hydrated whole day. I love its texture and smell! Have always loved Yves Rocher The second one is Bottega Verde (avena per i pelli delicate o sensibili) and it has such a soft smell, I use it mostly at night, it has a very natural and light texture, I definitely suggest it. The third one is Caudalie Vinosource Moisture Recovery Cream for dry skin, that works all fine, too! Well, my sister thinks Yves Rocher is much better but I am not so sure yet... I like them both. The fourth one is a B&B cream from Dior: you probably know this one already... I have been using it a lot. It is my third tube now that is abo
