Colour on My Nails

Image
Here I will give you some suggestions on wonderful colours from different brands and also for diverse budgets. I will try to provide one example for each colour... Let us start with Green  Green (vert agave) is one of the best colours that Yves Rocher has. It is a very particular green, the type that you find in the forest, the type that is a bit pastel but still lively.  I have almost finished this one, I used it too much!  A nice Nudish Brown  I have to say that this one is also from Yves Rocher . I had used this colour a lot, too. I personally like it a lot. It is not as competitive as the Vert Agave but still quite good as a colour. It is a capuccino brown, something more like muddy but light brown. Hard to describe. It is definitely lighter than the photo you see below.  The third one is a pinkish purple one again from Yves Rocher . It is called Rose Hortensia (see it above). This colour really goes well with the lipstick Mauve from Kiko for instance. It is not a very interesting

Toning Up: Toners for the Dry Skin

Image
What is a toner? Toners is something that you use after you cleanse your skin, to get rid of the dirt that has remained after the day is over. It also helps remove makeup after you cleanse your skin. I used to use toners as my mom had one, we could find all the dirt and pollution on the piece of cotton going through that procedure. It was quite true that the toner was a useful piece of skincare. However, it should fit your skin: do you  have oily/dry/mixed type of skin? It matters a lot. If you have sensitive skin, you should use a very very very natural toner. Even cucumber juice would be fine. Something with less alcohol for sure would be the best for sensitive skin. The more natural ingredients there are, the better it is...  A benefit of the toner is that it minimises your skin pores, so that is great news. It cleanses, that is good news, too. It kind of prepares your skin for the moisturiser, so it is a part of the beauty and skincare routine.  Rose Water of Missha: Meditanical R

Which are unbelievably good hair products?

Image
Here I will give a list of the products good for the hair, or at least I found them useful. LOW SHAMPOOS AND GOOD RESULTS The first one is the Caudalie Low Shampoo, this shampoo is without silicone and SLS, so do not expect it to have many bubbles and foams. It is not a usual shampoo, it is like low shampoos. A little amount from this shampoo is sufficient if you do not have extra long hair and you will see the difference that it makes after you wash your hair. I suggest this one definitely to everyone. The only issue is the price of it, it is not cheap at all for the amount it has. However, as you will see later on it has more inside the tube compared to the Yves Rocher Low Shampoo (which of course is also cheaper). I just want to mention one problem with this shampoo of Caudalie... The way to use it is difficult, cause the plastic that the substance is in, is very rigid, and when there is little left in the tube, it is hard to get it. In general, I think plastic is the prob

LIP BALMS: DO YOU HAVE DRY LIPS?

Image
In this post, I will suggest seven to eight lip balms and I will list them according to my preferences. Before I have talked about hand creams and more hydration . Please see those posts as well. So the first one is my favourite one for sure, that is L'occitane lip balm . This repairs and hydrates. It has a very light smell and I use it before night, I suggest it to everyone... The photo is taken from their website This one is definitely my favourite. It costs 8.5 euros as it says on the website. There is one that is really economic with Aloe vera from Equilibra . I have probably told before that I like the brand Equilibra. It is 4.92 US dollars as it seems on amazon.com. The thing I like about this lip balm is that it repairs the lips, it does not let them dry and it is very light textured. Another one that I have almost finished this winter and autumn was Yves Rocher Coconut lip balm , this one is great, too. It feels very coconut oily like... it feels natura

Why do I write this blog?

Image
I think that I need to make clear a couple of things about this blog. There are a couple of reasons why I am writing this blog. One is for sure interest in cosmetics and natural-looking and good looking self-care. The second major reason why I write a blog is that I have dry skin since I am 19 years old. I started to use a hydrating cream when I was 19, before that no makeup no hydrating cremes, nothing. Maybe some nail polish from time to time. Even about that, I was not so careful. I did not start wearing makeup almost till I was 26 or 27. That makeup was mascara and some blush and some lipstick, that is it. In these years, I discovered so many cosmetics, so being 35 in the last five years, have gathered so much information, bought so many things, and had a chance to compare them. I really want to be honest about these things and also want to share the good suggestions with you, especially for those who have dry skin, my recommendations would be plenty. In the future, I want

SUCH A LOVELY ONE THIS BENEFIT MAJORETTE  One of the best blushes I have ever used was the creamy one from Benefit Majorette , and the colour was perfect it was somewhere in between red and pink and orange. So it is quite good-looking for the white and yellow skins. However, its expiry date was quite soon so I had to get rid of it. I could not, I know, I still save it, cause it is so cute! The packaging and presentation of Benefit Majorette are really incredible.  SHISEIDO KNOWS WHAT IS BEST FOR THE CHEEKS Weeeeellll, keeping it for a long while and loving it: Shiseidoblush . The one I had was exactly the one in the link. A stewardess told me that this was one of the best blushes and she was right! I admit although it was expiring in 18 months or so, I used it for almost for three years. But used it so much less than expected that I could not really finish it, though halved it. Love it!
