Banana Shampoo and Conditioner by Garnier, is it worth it?

I have been hearing about banana based hair products for a while now and seeing them in pretty much every drugstore. Even had some clients asking me, wether those products are really worth the hype. So as a hairdresser I was intrigued. 

Now I do know that there are a lot of benefits to bananas. They are great for you to eat, add to beauty products and sure, must be great for hair too. After doing some reading I figured out a few things. Biggest benefit of bananas is, as most of us know, pottasium. They are also rich in natural oils, vitamins and carbohydrates. All that means a potential of a great moisturizer and softener. So does it really have the benefits it promises?

August Mood 2020

Back at it with another monthly mood board. This time I am sharing my inspirations for the month of August. 

For those who are new here, this is a series of posts I do almost every month. A post full of things that I hope to inspire me in coming month, trends in fashion, hair or beauty I want to try or even activities I can' t wait to do.

So I hope you' ll enjoy this month' s pick. 

Forgive Me

I have not been doing my makeup very often these days. As we are still adviced to stay home and my work is not allowed to open just yet, I do not feel the need to do myself up much. The sun has been shining for us and I spent most of my time enjoying it. Getting a bit of tan, which helps my skin clear out, psoriasis slightly dissapears and my confidence gets a boost. 
But I do love to play with makeup and seeing what shades suit my eyes or skin tone, especially now that it changed a little. The other day I picked up this pallete of orange toned eyeshadows. I recieved it a while back through my Birchbox and tried it only once before. In my head I thought that my tanned skin could do with a little bronze and orange and this is where I ended up.

Red It Up

Who doesn´t like a bit of a cheeky red lip? I thought so! We all get that urge for a bit bolder lipstick every now and then. If you know anything bout me you know I get this feeling more then often ahah. I just love my lipsticks and colors and bold look and....

Deni and Scandals

I am a real eye liner lover! Don´t even wear my eye make-up without it anymore! So the fact that I am changing my eye liners monthly doesn´t come as surprise, does it?!
A few weeks ago I bought a RIMMEL SCANDALEYES eye liner and I am so happy I did. Has the best consistency, applicator is really thin and so easy to use. Also it is waterproof so you can be out partying all night and no one will no you didn´t even touched up.

Festive Kiss

Dark Lips = My Obsession ! If you read my blog for a while now you know that. I like to try out different combinations of lipsticks I own and every now and then I come up with a shade I am in love with. Seriously! If there was a way I could marry to this lip colour...I would! I have been wearing these two together for a few weeks now and I had to make a whole post about it. I just had to!

I know that there is a lipstick by MAC and also by NARS in similar shade that I have created but they seem to be too expensive to me. And you know that if there is a cheaper way of getting what I want, I go for it. ahah

So combination of NYC Lipstain in Forever Mine Wine and Alverde Lip Pencil in 30 RED has been my essential lately. It makes that perfect fall/winter and festive ready colour. Plus I feel like it goes with my skin tone pretty nicely.

You can find both of these lip products in your local drugstores and you won´t pay more then 3 pounds for each. I personally found them both on sale and I paid 1 € for each. Isn´t that great?!

What are your favourite fall/winter lipsticks? Do you own maybe these lip products?
Until next time keep safe and live your life to the fullest !

So Kissabel

Yes! Smile IS the best make-up and accessory you can go for. But there are days when you feel like a piece of shit and you look like a crap, smile just isn´t enought. And this is so simple yet really pretty make-up that I like to call go-to. 

There is a list of products I used at the end of the post.

If you would like me to do a video tutorial on this look just let me know :) 

Take Care of Yourself

I am -as you could already read in my previous posts- pretty busy person and that means that I usually take quick showers at like 11 or 12 o ´clock. That means that I just do the necessary stuff and leave the rest for days when I have more time.
And when days like that come and I can take care of myself and relax in hot bath while that.... It feels like heaven. Thats why I want to share this little routine of mine with you. If you ever thought of having like "treat yourself " party then this is my favorite way.
If you have never try this before please do. Of course only in case you like baths and all the beauty products.

Firstly I always make sure I really won´t be disturbed , cause you know - you don´t want to end up with one leg shaved and other hairy. Do you?! Then I like to have all the products prepared to be used. That means I make a little lay out of the once I want to use or try in case I have some new things.
Then you should turn on the water and prepare your bath. In case you are not fan of baths you can always go for a shower. It is just that bath is a little bit more relaxing option.

I also like to add some bubble bath foam, but in case like this I go for simple option without bubbles.
Then I get into bath and start with washing my hair. I love all hair products by Schwarzkopf- they are working perfectly and don´t cost fortune- especially shampoos and conditioners.
I like to treat my hair by using some kind of hair mask. This time I used a new product from AVON that I showed you in my latest beauty post.

And you should leave the mask on for a little - this one said about 10 minutes- and that gives me time to wash my body and shave my legs. I always use another shower gel but my HUGE love is Yves Rocher one with coffee smell (it is my moms so shh dont tell her I use it ;) ) .

After that I wash off the hair mask-obviously- and I am done. Then I either stay and chill in the bath for a little or I go out. 

Then it is time for face care. I love this face cleanser I got recently. It makes my face sooo prettyy (add creepy voice). And then next mask with honey in and I finish my face using a face cleaning water from BALEA. If you ever try to use this one you will definitely like it but be aware of contact with eyes. It can hurt like hell! 

Then I use whole selection of body products. I love the smell of my new AVON Sensuelle body lotion. I use it for my upper part of body so when I apply my perfume it has the same scent. And for my legs I like to use H&M Body Butter with Cashmere. I love what that body butter does to my legs. They are super soft and shiny. And not only a few hours or a day after using it, but a few days or a week. And I also use a AVON FOOT WORK cream that is magical. I talked about this product in my latest beauty post too. 

Then it is time for hair. I always had trouble with knots in my hair. But since I have tangle teezer I don´t know what knotty hair are. After brushing my hair I apply a straightening balm because I like my hair straight with this hair length and I don´t like to use straightener after blow drying my hair. Then when they are almost dry I use a dry ends serum from AVON. And finish with drying. 

And thats probably it. After this you would feel nice, clean and fresh. Really, give it a try and let me know how it went :)

I hope you enjoyed and until next time....stay safe.

Festive Look of my Chummy

Meet my Chummy Everyone ! This weekend I did this wonderful make-up to my friend and we did a little photoshooting ! I thought I´ll share this look with you because I love it  ;)

 First I used Powder AVON ColorTrend. Then I used blush from VEVAY palette. After that I always fill in eyebrows. I used my essence blonde eyebrow pencil. I decided to go for smokey eyes using VEVAY palette. I used brown, beige and silver color first. I applied white shadow to inner corner to make an effect of bigger eyes (not that my chummy needs it), black eyeliner from AVON super extend. I wanted to do something different and festive. SO I added a gold eyeliner from inner corner making kinda ombre effect between black and gold. I set gold eyeliner using gold shadow from palette. I absolutely love AVON MegaEffects mascara so I used it on chummy too. After that I applied powder again and I finished it off by using a red miss sporty lipstick in 059 high red.

Do you like this make-up look?! I do and let me know in the comments bellow what you think please :)

And we also did a little bit different make-up look. When I say a little bit I mean TOTALLY different :D We had kinda late Halloween so I hope you like this look as well.

My Summer Favorites 2013 edition

Hello People! :)
How is everyone doing?! I hope you are still okay and that you are all enjoying these last days of summer ! :)
I am deffinitelly enjoying them as much as possible and as it is basicly the end of summer I thought I´ll share with you a few of my fav products I have been using this summer.
There is not a lot of them since I was trying NOT to use tones of products on my skin in summer, but these are the ones I did use and I liked the MOST !

 So firstly a HAND LOTION from BALEA. this one has always helped me after i got a little sun burned. Plus it is not only good for your hands but also for full body. It leaves this slight smell but not too hard so you can apply it also in the morning and mix it with your perfume and it makes this nice summer smell. ahah

Next FRESH´N SOFT wet wipes. These are super handy and helpfull at any situation. I always have one package of these in my handbag.

Then AVON and also MISS SPORTY liquid eye liners. I tried to use both of these in the summer since I LOVE eye liners and i didnt want to give up on them through summer just because it might leave black spots all over my face. But nothing like that happened. They both stayed on place for all day and were super pigmented as well. Plus this kind of liners are really easy and fast to use. RECOMEND !

MIYO eye shadows. I found these in sale at the begginning of summer and used them ever since then. I totally love them. They stay on -nicely- all day. The white color makes you look fresh and -NOT tired- all day and the brown adds a little bit of  nude sparkle to your eyes.

And last but NOT least WILKINSON racers. Not a lot of bloggers write about these, but I LOVE them so much I just HAD to -LOL-. In the summer and basicly through all year you want your legs to be a smooth and as hairless as possible and these makes its job PERFECTLY. Plus they fit into your hand nicely so they are easy and nice to use. Also I use to exidently cut myself -pretty often- and since these racers has a ALOE strip on it makes my legs and cuts feel and heal much better and faster. COOL :) :P

And thats all I have for you for today. I hope it helped you a bit and that you will come back again next time. Thanks for stopping by.
