Dealing with hair loss? No more

Hello,

today I have a magical product for you. If you are dealing with hair loss or just want thicker hair, brows or lashes then read on.

Afrodita cosmetics Great Burdock oil

This is Great Burdock oil. Mine is from Afrodita cosmetics and it holds 50 ml. I am using this oil for about three weeks now and I am sharing the news about this little miracle. This bottle is actually for my mom. I mentioned her this oil and now she wants to try it.




I actually haven't used that much of it and the results are fantastic. I use it on my hair before I wash them because after all this is oil and it will greased them out. 
I always part my hair on my right side and I started noticing that there are less hair and I can see more of my scalp, compared with the other side there was the difference and honestly I got scared that I'm getting bald (I'm only 25 years old). I started massaging oil on my scalp before washing it and after three to four uses I started to see baby hair. The results are almost instant and I didn't expect to see them so fast. 
I was shocked so I started to use it on my brows. One week later my brows are obviously bushier (I regret not taking the photo before and after the use) so now you will just have to take my word for it.
I also wanted to see what it does to my lashes but didn't quite know hot to get the oil so close to the eye but not get it in. My smart mother suggested to use q-tip. I'm not so sure about results because I haven't use it on my lashes for long enough to see any changes but even if my lashes are getting thicker I'm not sure I will notice it. We will see.

So for I am impressed with this oil and I can call it a miracle in the bottle. I suggest you to try it, you won't be disappointed.


Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Hello,

I got bored of the matte surface on my nails so I decided that it is time to upgrade it with some sparkles.


Picture Polish Berry Nice & Essence Mauvellous Fairy

The base is still Picture Polish Berry Nice and on top I added a layer of Essence Mauvellous Fairy. It was part of a limited edition this year called Hidden Stories. First I used it on it's own but it was to sheer and I didn't liked it. Now, ten months later I decided to give him another chance, this time I layered it and the result took my breath away.



Actually it looks even better in person (if you like sparkling nails). The sparkles shifts from gold to pink and all the way to the purple. This top coat adds extra touch and every time I catch a shimmer of my nails it makes me smile.

Shopping day

Hello,

how are you? Today I had some errands to do and while I was in the city I jumped to the drugstore (actually I went into two different ones) to check whats new or if they have some nice sales going on.




As you can see I was successful  ;)
I wanted to try these little pots from Balea for a long time now and finally I picked up two scents.
Mixa cream is a repurchase, mine tube is still pretty full but apparently they are discontinuing it in one of the stores and it was pretty cheap so I just had to get it.
Afrodita's great burdock oil is for my mom since I told her that it is a magical product for me. She wanted to try it so I got it for her.
The rest of the products are new to me and when I saw the in the store I felt the urge to picked them up  and I will be testing them for the next few weeks.

Hello,

my nails looked a bit dated with the previous polish so yesterday I decided to switch them up. I choose the color I haven't worn for months (it happens when you have way too many bottles). It is special to me because I was lucky enough to win it in a giveaway a couple of years ago.


Picture Polish Berry Nice

This is Picture Polish Berry Nice. I won that giveaway and for the prize I could choose any three shades from their website. I picked this one up because I had nothing similar in my stash and I'm really glad that I did.




This is how it looks on the nails, it dries matte which I figure it out while I was painting it on. I believe this was the first one in my collection with this particular finish and I got to experiment with it. It is very pigmented and one layer could be enough but the second one makes it look better.

Essence Sheer & Shine

Hello,

I took a lot of time to properly try these lipsticks. I just couldn't set my mind about them. I like them but there is one little thing that bothers me but apparently others didn't noticed it so I feel like I can overcome this little issue I have about them.


Essence Sheer & Shine lipsticks in Candy love and I feel pretty

Essence Sheer & Shine lipsticks in Candy love and I feel pretty. I find packaging to be  nice. I love colored lids to recognize the shade that is hiding inside but it is also a bit minimalistic and more modern that previous packaging.


Essence Sheer & Shine lipstick I feel pretty

This is the shade I feel pretty and I do feel prettier when wearing it. On the lips it is not as berry as it appears in the tube but it is more red. It makes my lips look more plumped and if I don't exaggerate with layers it can look very natural (my lips are already reddish so this color just evens them out, moisturize and adds some shine to them).


Essence Sheer & Shine lipstick Candy love 

This is the more subtle one and it is called Candy love. I initially wanted the super popular All about cupcake but it was sold out so I got this one because it looked close. At the end I'm happy to get this one because I don't have light pink shades and I have been wearing mostly this one for the past two weeks. 


Essence Sheer & Shine lipstick swatches

This is how they look at the back of my hand. I swear that the pink one looks better on my lips, the color shows more. 

Everyone notice the light vanilla scent when they open them and I do to but I also notice a slight crayon scent and that is weird. When I apply them on my lips I can still smell it for a couple of minutes and I don't like that. If I take this weird scent out of the equation I would say that Sheer & Shine lipsticks are the most perfect lipsticks for my lips and taste.

I have been wearing them non stop, I put lip balm aside and haven't been using it and my lips didn't dry out so the lipsticks on their own are moisturizing enough. I love the colors I choose, red one creates a nice contrast against my pale skin and the pink one surprised me completely (I normally don't wear light pink on my lips but this one changed my mind about wearing such a delicate color on my lips).

I love that they stay glossy (I don't like matte finish on my lips). Due to the finish they translate a little onto the glass if you are drinking but don't worry. No matter how much you drink the color won't completely transfer to the glass to the point that your lips would be left bare (usually that happens with glossier products but not this one, that's why I love it so much). After two or three hours when you feel like you could reapply it the color is still on your lips, maybe it is not as bright as it was when you apply it but the layer is still even, pigment havent moved or created bare patches. 

All that makes me think that Essence really nailed it with them. If I couldn't detect that crayon scent (apparently I am the only one) I think I would toss pretty much all of my lipsticks out the window and replaced them with the ones from the Sheer & Shine line. You could say I am a little obsessed with them plus  they only cost 1,99€.

Avon purchase

Hello,

my much anticipated Avon package arrived. More lip products, who would of thought. I also snatched Avon's version of the in shower lotion which I will start using today. There is also Always on Point eye liner and it is part of their new release. It the collection there are three new shades and I choose only one. The shade looks unusual and I'm curious how this self sharpening packaging works. I will report about them soon.

Nuxe

Hello,

for today I choose to show you a product I have a love/hate relationship. Yes it is only a sample but for what it is I think you get a lot of product in it and unfortunately for me some bad reactions as well.


Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse


Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse is the product on the picture above. I got the little sample to test out and if you use it only on your face (you only need a drop or two) it will last you two-three months. I tried it on my face and I got pretty bad reaction to it. Skin around my mouth got really dry even flaky and weird bumps appeared. I didn't changed anything else in my routine than that but I still wasn't sure because everyone raves about this amazing oil. So I let it heal, it took three long weeks to finally clear out my skin and I used it again. The next morning I took a look in the mirror and bumps with super dry skin were back. Oh crap. 
Now I use it on my hair and on my upper body. No reactions (apparently only the skin on my mug is sensitive) and I am really enjoying it. The scent is surreal. A lot of people tried to describe it but I think you just have to sniff it yourself to see it. I can hardly imagine a person who wouldn't like this amazing smell. 
I will maybe buy a full size bottle to use it on my hair (it really is dry oil and it sinks in without adding greasy residue but you have to add just a little) to replace other hair oils I am using but mostly I would just skip the perfume and let this oil do the talking because the scent is out of this world.
