Daily Beauty tips

I know I'm so late to the party, but Revlon Lip Butters aren't exactly sold in every drugstore here. In fact, there is only one shop, to my knowledge, that sells them in Slovenia (aside from the online shop Click2Chic). I finally had the chance to see them in person. They sell them in Illirija, Ljubljana (more about it here under Revlon), it's a bit shocking it took me so long to get there, I used to live 2 minutes away. I bought two shades as a treat for my birthday - Berry Smoothie and Sweet Tart .  There were 9 shades available and I must admit, they look a lot prettier in person than online. I almost walked out with two more, but they are way to expensive. They cost 10€ and the shades available were: Cupcake (cool toned light pink) , Strawberry Shortcake (light-medium warm pink, I was thinking of buying it) , Peach Parfait (a warm medium peach with gold shimmer, I almost got that one too) , Lolipop (very, very pigmented, fuchsia) , Creme Brule (brownish nude) , Ber...

If you read my post about concealers then you know how much I love Maybelline's Instant Anti-Age the Eraser Eye .   It's my favourite under-eye concealer.  I have one in the shade Light and now I bought a lighter one called Fair. It's great for brightening under the eye and highlighting/brightening the high points of the face. I'm still sporting red lips this month, I just love this look on me. I've worn MUA lipstick in the shade 13 almost every day in January. I didn't think much of it immediately when I got it, but it became one of my favourite lipsticks. Surprisingly, I have no dupes of such red shade. It's a bright tomato red that also looks so pretty as a stain because it doesn't oxidise and turn into a darker shade. And it's only 1£. My nail polish matched my bright lippie and  Depend 036 stayed on my nails for most of the month. Though, currently they're mint. I got The Body Shop Vineyard Peach body butter in Gradz a month ago. It's...

1. Macadamia Natural oil Deep Repair Mask - I already said in my Healing oil treatment review that I'd like to try more of their products and this hair mask intrigues me the most. A lot of people rave about it, so I'll have to check it out for myself. 2. Helena Rubinstein Lash Queen Feline Blacks waterproof - I really miss this mascara. It is the best I ever had, certainly the best waterproof one, but the price tag is outrageous. Review here . 3. Dermalogica Daily Microexfoliant - I received a sample in my HqHair order and I loved it. It made my skin incredibly smooth and soft. 4. Tigi S Factor Flat Iron Shine Spray - I've been using this for years and I'm running out of my current bottle. It is the best heat protection product for someone with very dry hair. Review here . 5. Nyx Taupe blush - I want a nice contouring shade for my Snow White complexion and I hear good things about it. Also, I can't use Mac's Wedge forever. 6. Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Or - ...

Time for a round-up. I want to point out that the differences between all apart from Osmo are really small.  If you checked out the pictures of my hair in individual reviews, you'll see there is little if any difference in how my hair looks. A bigger difference is in how your hair feels. Here is my ranking of the five hair treatments I tested. Winner: Macadamia Natural Oil Healing Oil Treatment 2nd place: Orofluido Beauty Elixir 3rd place: Moroccanoil Original 4th place: Kérastase Elixir Ultime 5th place: Osmo Berber Oil For me the winner is Macadamia with Orofluido not far behind. Macadamia provided the sleekest, shiniest and most moisturised results, also it is the best defrizzer. Orofluido and Moroccanoil are almost dupes in results, but differ in price and scent. Also Orofluido leaves your hair with more volume. The same applies to Elixir Ultime which made my hair feel very light, silky and bouncy, but left my ends dry. Osmo made my hair feel a bit greasy at first, bu...

I've been testing the Garnier Pure Active Exfo-Brushes Wash for a while, keep reading to find how it was :) What they Say? New Garnier PureActive Exfo-Brusher wash revolutionises your daily cleansing routine! Works to unclog impurities from pores and visibly redues surface sebum levels. ShyCheeeks Experience   I have used the exfoliating brush by Sigma; their Cleansing and Polishing Tool [review here] This one caught my eye because its a facewash and and exfoliating brush in one This is a pretty good sized bottle..Good in the quantity factor but bad because its really big to use as a brush exfoliator! The brush bristles look quite sharp here in the picture, but they don't feel hash on the skin..its pretty soft to use it on a daily basis! The facewash is pretty liquid-y..the brush has a little hole in between that you can open or close..Open that hole to pour the facewash on your hand and dab it on parts of your face..then close the hole and massage the exfo-brusher on your fac...

This is probably the most raved about product on my blog. It's been featured in numerous favourite posts and I purchased almost all the products from this line. What's so special about it is the absolutely gorgeous oriental vanilla-amber scent. I also love the Orofluido Sahara, which is a lighter version of elixir in spray form and the shampoo is nice as well. Two products that left me unimpressed are the conditioner (to light) and shine spray (too much alcohol, Sahara is better). My bottle lasted me two years and believe me, I used it a lot. Packaging : A clear glass bottle with a gorgeous oriental design on the front. I think it looks most luxurious out of all, a real decoration on your vanity. Unfortunately, it doesn't come with a pump. It's available in 50ml and 100ml version. Ingredients (Updated ingredients here ) : Three cones followed by argan oil, cypress oil, fragrance, isopropyl palmitate (emollient and thickening agent, also anti-static), linseed oil, anothe...

I bet a some of you are thinking: Osmo? Where did she find Osmo? I've never heard of it. Well, I never heard of it until a month ago when I started this test. It was reduced on Feel Unique, so I decided to try a sample size bottle. This one kind of shattered my theory that all oils are good, since it proved to be the most problematic. Packaging : a dark glass bottle with a pump (100ml version), but with a clear label so you can still see how much is in there. Ingredients : Three silicones followed by isopropyl myristate, argan, coconut, avocado oil, oxybenzone (sunscreen, a controversial ingredient, here disguised by an alternative name), fragrances and colours.  Isopropyl myristate helps absorption and lessens the greasiness. Scent : It's a sweet scent. In the bottle, it smells to me like cherry candy, just like Nyx Mega Shine lip gloss. On my hair it smells exactly like strawberry and vanilla tea. Doesn't stay at all on my hair, not on wet nor on dry hair. Per...
