May 2014: Beauty Favourites

Hello!!! Today blogpost is about my May beauty favourites. I have a few new favourites this month that I want to share with you. Here they are. 

Catrice Ultimate Shine Gel Color Lipstick 

The formula is really light, it almost feels like a lip balm. I find that the lipsticks go on smoothly and stay on great. I own this lipstick in shade 060 Don’t Pink and Drive. This is a cool toned pink that is perfect for spring/summer. It is really pigmented and lasts very long. I would be glad to try more colors.

Catrice Pure Shine Colour Lip Balm

I was looking for some coral lipstick or lip gloss and I found this lip crayons in Catrice. I purchased 060 Go Flamingo Go! You need to put on multiple layers before the true colour shows. I enjoy a buildable colour so I can have control over how pigmented I want my lips to look. This is a smooth lip balm that gives sheer colour with an ultra-glossy finish. It is very moisturising and smooth and  has a sweet scent to it.

Balea Shower Gel 

The gel foams lovely and feel nice on my skin. All Balea shower gels smells good and you can buy them at a good price. 

Dolce & Gabbana L'Imperatrice Parfume

My favorite parfume ever. But now it is hard to find them, as most stores say its discontinued.

Top notes: Rhubarb, Red Currant, Juicy Kiwi Accord.

Heart notes: Pink Cyclamen, Fresh Watermelon Accord.

Base notes: Musky Notes, Sandalwood, Grapefruit Wood.

L'imperatrice is a perfect combination of fruity, clean and floral. I think it smells better the longer it stays on your skin. The fragrance just blooms. This is the ideal spring/summer fragrance.

Steam Pod Straightener

If you straighten often your hair this is the best investment you can make for the healthy look of your hair! This is fantastic for straightening hair and is far better than the standard type of hair straighteners. The Steampod delivers visibly repaired hair, exceptional smoothness and amazing shine. More details in this post here.

Hopefully you will find this blogpost helpful next time you're shopping. 

Have a nice weekend!!!

Favourite Drugstore Nail Polishes

Spring is almost over and the summer's coming. So I decided to write about my favourite spring nail colors.

Essence nail polish

Like many other brands Essence too came out with a new nail polish collection for spring 2014, so I buy a few of them. I like this nail polishes, because they have a brilliant gel-shine finish with a highly intensive shine and an extremely short drying time. 

Miss Sporty nail polish

This is another my favourite nail polishes. All colours, that I have, applied true to the colours in their respective bottles. The brushes are wide, which making application so easy. Two coats is sufficient for a nice solid finish on the nails. For this spring I mostly use these two colors.

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicures

This is a good drugstore nail polish! I really like the brush, you could do your nails really quick because it's larger than normal brushes. Finish is very glossy, very good lasting power, and I like the idea of the base and top coat being included. You should give the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicures a try and I do not think you will be disappointed.

H&M Swimwear 2014

    Unfortunately, not all ladies can afford to spend a lot of money on the famous designers swimwear, but if you are looking for a stylish, fashionable beachwear at an inexpensive price, the brand H&M help you to do this. 

   For Summer 2014, Swedish fashion label H&M has enlisted 33-year-old Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen to star in its campaign.

The most popular colors in H&M swimsuits collection are black, white, blue and  peach. But these year also are popular flirty tropical, floral and animal prints. 

Fashion Friday: Swimsuits 2014

Today's blogpost is going to be about swimsuits. For lovers of beach fashion, searching for the perfect swimsuit requires no less attention than buying an evening dress. My favourite brand of swimsuits is Magistral. This hungarian brand has a wide range of beachwear, which means that even the most capricious ladies can pick up an exclusive product to their taste. This brand is the symbol of quality and elegance.

Baby/Toddler Swimsuits 2014

Summer is just around the corner, and I was looking at these adorable swimsuits for babies and toddlers. There are so many colors and prints. I want to buy all of them. There is always the perfect bathing suit for your little one, no matter what your taste.

Fashion Friday: Bikini twins

   Today we have another hot sunny day, so we decided to open new swimming season. My kids were so happy to play in the swimming pool.

   Girls were wearing neon pink swimsuits with turquoise ruffles on it and matching headbands. The swimsuits from F&F.

Have a great weekend!

L'Oréal Proffesional Steam Pod Straightener

    This is fantastic for straightening hair and is far better than the standard type of hair straighteners. The Steampod delivers visibly repaired hair, exceptional smoothness and amazing shine.
   Also you can purchase the Pro-keratin treatment products with your Steampod straightener. When used them with SteamPod is infused deep into the hair fibre to rebuild and repair the damaged areas of your hair, leaving your hair with a flawless finish, noticeable repaired hair.

My SteamPod steps:

Step 1. Wash hair, towel dry and apply from roots to ends the L’Oreal Professionnel SteamPod Replenishing Smoothing Cream. When you combined this cream with the L’Oreal SteamPod you’ll achieve a sleek, frizz-free finish that should last up to three days.

Step 2. Blowdry to 80% dry. 

Step 3. Apply small amount of the SteamPod Protective Smoothing Serum into the palms of hands before applying to the most sensitised areas of the lengths and ends of the hair. I love it because it tames and smooths damaged strands and dry ends. Formulated with avocado oil and apricot kernel oil – it will leave your hair feeling nourished and looking healthy. 

Step 3. Begin using the SteamPod Straightener.  SteamPod is really simple to use, when you turn it on it will illuminate and you are able to choose your temperature setting. It heats up quickly and you will hear the steam starting to come out of the straightener, it will sound exactly like an iron! It straightens hair super fast and at the same time it locks moisture and shine in hair cuticle minimizing any damage from the heating process. 

And here is a final look (this is my natural long hair).

    My hair look like a million dollars. I have never seen the shine as I’ve seen in my hair after the SteamPod session. Much better than the best hair salon blowdry I ever had. If you straighten often your hair this is the best investment you can make for the healthy look of your hair! I can no longer live without my steam pod - Best invention in years!! I am in love with this....

Have you tried the SteamPod Straightener?
