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

Which are my favourites for the winter months?

In this post, I will briefly tell you which products I have finished and liked a lot. There is also a bonus of it: Giorgio Armani foundation (luminous silk foundation) that I had as a small sample from Sephora (as a gift). THREE MASKS FOR DRY SKIN Let's start with the masks, I have been using more masks recently. Two of these are about to finish and one of them is new. The first is the hydrating mask of Avene , it is called also soothing radiance mask. It is really hydrating. I left it on and it absorbs easily. A good one! The smell is similar to Avene creams.  AVENE HYDRATING MASK The second mask I tried was the Origins Apricot mask , which is a great one, too, but it is so sticky like the syrup of apricot. It also can be left on, but I had to get used to it since it was not totally absorbed by the skin. I would say it made a difference: felt that my face was brighter and more hydrated. Suggest it to the dry skinners!  ORIGINS APRICOT MASK - DRINK UP IN TEN M

HOME MADE DEO: Which are the wonders of coconut oil?

I have thought about this one. A friend of mine suggested me to do my own deo at home. How could it be possible? She said it was very easy and so she described. The description is similar to this one: Ingredients 6 Tablespoons coconut oil 4 Tablespoons baking soda 4 Tablespoons arrowroot or cornstarch Essential oils (optional) I think as the next thing, I will try this coconut deodorant that is super easy. It does not contain any kind of unnatural stuff such as sls, paraben, silicone... so that is great news as well. It does not have many costs, that is great for the budget.  Have you ever tried to do your own? Does it function? Let me know.

Everyone wears a mask, which one is yours?

To wait and to write and to wait and to write

Dear Readers, I am planning to prepare really well-written content in order to give you more information on the quality of the things that we are using... However, this will take time. Basically, I have slowed down my consumption slightly and it means that first of all, I need to finish the products that I have. One of the main reasons for this is that I have another job now and need to focus on it. The other reason is that I feel that I am spending too much on cosmetics and I am using too much plastic. Both of these habits need to change if I want to grow up as a person, not only as a woman. So I decided to slow down, write more detailed, interesting, original good quality stuff rather than introduce you to everything that I had used in the past... I have seen that natural products gain great attention, which is good news. This means that we are super super hungry for nature. And that is the way to go! Nothing beats the cucumber tonic that you make at home and that you

How to make natural cosmetics at home

Image
Here is how I have made my own exfoliator, mask and tonic.  The exfoliator (the brown one) has cacao, coffee, yoghurt, a bit of lemon, honey and a bit of sugar in it.  The mask (the yellow one) has yoghurt, the residues of a cucumber when I made the juice (I did not throw them away but used them for the mask), honey, Curcuma, a bit of lemon.   The tonic is basically the cucumber juice. If you want you can add a drop of lemon inside. If you think that would disrupt your skin, do not do that.  I have put them in the fridge, tried all of them one day after or after I had kept them in the fridge for a while. Especially the mask and the tonic are great to use! It is super hydrating for dry skin. The coffee exfoliator wakes you up in the morning! Moreover, it is without any preservatives, any conservatives... So that is the great part! And the colours are great, too!
