The last pictures is showing my very first Essie nail polish! I was so excited when I got this, because it was actually a gift from my aunt! How do you like it?
Hello everybody!
It's been the longest time since I blogged (two days actually, but it seemed an eternity for me). And to make it even worse, I didn't reply to any of you guys! Thank you for all those wonderful comments, I will reply to all of them.
I wasn't feeling girly enough, so I convinced my mom to go makeup shopping. As you can see almost all of my products are from essence - cheap brand. I like and trust this brand, plus, when you're a student you're on a tight budget. But anyhow, I love all of them and I feel like a professional makeup artist when I put them on!
That's it! Do you have any of these products? Oh, I was thinking of buying Victoria Secret eyeshadow palette. I found it on the internet, and they sell it for 10$! Do you have any experiences with it? And it would be awesome if you'd recommend me a makeup/beauty product that is your absolute favourite.
I did a little bit of a research for you guys. I usually buy my cosmetics at Mueller, but sometimes I buy it online. A lot of people I know own the NAKED palette or a Dior lipstick. No way in hell I could afford that, so I do a shortcut. Sometimes I get lucky and find things on sale, sometimes I just buy the Chinese look-a-like thing from Ebay.

Sometimes I just wondered, how do cover girls get to have this amazing and awesome hair? Later on I discovered Photoshop and hair care products, even wigs do the trick. I have fine hair, and for years it looked like I have a dead animal on my head instead of hair. When I started to use beauty products I noticed that youtube does not only offer you music videos, but also tips & tricks from professional people (and amateurs, of course). I started watching hair care videos, how to make your hair shining, how to make it look thick, how to keep your hair healthy, what kind of things do you have to use to have perfect hair and so on. Needless to say, it took a while before I found tips that I could actually use. My hairdresser told me to use certain hair products, but they were all expensive (I mean, 50$ for a shampoo? I don't think so). But she also said that you can go the cheap way, so I did. I always had long hair, but in 7th grade I got bored and told my mom I want a paz haircut. I said goodbye to about 20cm of my hair, but never regretted it. My hair eventually started to grow back, so about a year and a half later I dyed my hair to shining red, and I felt re-born. I got extremely lucky that my hair didn't plot against me. People kept asking me what products do I use, and I had to disappoint them every time by saying that I really don't use any.
In march this year I watched movie called Divergent, and it instantly became my favourite movie (I already saw it at least 15 times, even went to the cinema to see it 6th time). I fell in love with Shailene Woodley's hair, basically the result was that I wanted the exact hair that she had in the movie. In the start of may I didn't even have to convince my mom (because she already suggested that I dye my hair to brown or light brown), so I went to the hairdresser.
The hairdresser had to re-dye my hair: meaning she had to get rid of my red colour first, and I believe she had to use peroxide or something like that. I was there for three hours! But my hair didn't turn out the way I wanted, it was a bit orange, but everyone said I look awesome and that it's better than it was before.
Currently my hair has a look called light-brown-with-spices-of-orange. And I like it, but I have roots in the hair. I don't know which colour I want, but I'm choosing between honey brown and ombré. With no further a due, here are my hair care products (the last picture is actually after shower moisture for body).
TIPS & TRICKS TO KEEP YOUR HAIR HEALTHY
1. Every time you shampoo your hair, massage your scalp for one minute (strength&growth).2. To prevent any damage, use a wide-tooth comb when you detangle your wet hair.
3. Never use a curling iron on hair straightener when you have wet hair.
4. Don't wash your hair everyday
5. Avoid bleach
6. Try not to use a lot of heat
7. Don't use too many hair products (especially hairsprays)
How to get rid off split ends?

Which food is good for hair?
Avocado - for moisture and growth
Egg- protein for strength, volume, shine and texture
Honey - good for damaged hair
Oils - it moisturises your hair and removes dandruff
What should you eat?
Salmon, legumes, veggies and eggs.
This is actually my first cosmetic post! I've always admired fashion/beauty you tubers, but only few weeks ago I decided to find aspiring and beauty oriented blogs. For the last two days I've been exploring bloglovin (I will post my link below). My everyday makeup has changed a lot, I think I started using eyeshadows when I was in the 8th grade, but I wore lipstick on since I was five.
Mascara: Essence, Volume Boost(waterproof)
Nail polish: Manhattan, Lotus Effect
Lipstick: Maybelline, Pink Lollipop(#030)
Bronze: L'oreal, Glam Bronze(Sun Radiance Trio - Brunettes)
Eyeliner: S-he, Dip Eyeliner (#001 black)
Perfume: Roger&Gallet, Fleur d'Osmanthus
I don't really use perfumes, it's not that I don't like them, I just keep forgetting to put one on! This perfume was given to me last Christmas, I think, and as you can see, I haven't even used a half of it.
I checked their website and their things are kinda pricy, but they all smell good.
I hate buying mascaras, you never know what kind of quality it will actually be. I thought that big and fancy brands such as L'oreal or Dior would automatically make them super good. But that truly depends on a mascara, and I don't trust those big brands anymore because they disappointed me many times. My friend has super long eyelashes, mainly because of the makeup, and she told me she was actually using Essence's mascara, and why not give it a go? I was a bit worried because it's a waterproof and I can never clean them off completely(got any tips for me?). Overall I would give it 10/10. I think the price was around two or three euros. It makes your eyelashes look big and they don't look fake. So I would really recommend this mascara.
It takes about ten minutes for me to put all my makeup on, but it can always take less or more time. A lot of people use powder, and here's the thing, I don't! My body has never experienced any skin problems. I get one small pimple every three months, and that's it. Few months ago I started using skin care creams and moisturisers(would you like me to do a review of that).
