Foot-works: what works and what does not?

Image
Not only having sensitive and dry skin but having dry heels, such lucky genes! There is though a solution to that for sure. You'd better take care of your feet which carry your whole weight whole day, that let you discover the world, that allow you to wear beautiful shoes, boots and slippers! Well, to cut the long story short, there might also be natural treatments to dry heels, and will look for them for you. However, before that, I would really like to use some of the knowledge I have about a couple of products.  Let's start with the creams for the feet. There are four suggestions on my side... I will tell you which one worked as much as I expected it to work.  First one is Kiko intensive foot cream . This cream is good for daily use. I use it before I go to bed, and wear my socks afterwards. I expect that at night the cream does all the work. Thought that it would not be efficient but it is quite good. However, I was using it with other creams so could not obser

Sprays and Mists for Sensitive Skin

Image
Hello Again, Once more I have four suggestions for sprays. They are all different, they have different functions, but they are all good for sensitive and dry skin. The one I like the most is the last one of Clarins "refresh" . It smells like flowers, roses and lavender. I really liked it a lot. It has a function of hydrating a lot, and I mostly use it before I go to bed sometimes even without putting on the night cream. My number one is this! The second one I liked a lot but it has lost its smell after six months was Kiko spray... ( Green me hydrating face mist ). This one is supernatural, it smells like grass, its consistency is almost white and I think it functions in hydrating the skin. The third one I suggest to you is the one I finished already and bought a new package as stock in my cosmetics shop, in our little house. So basically, this one is one of the best known from Avene , the spray with minerals for dry skin... Acqua Termale Avenè Spray ... I know

Who wants shiny hair like Italians?

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
