Favorite Hairstyling Products

My hair is fine/normal thickness and damaged from bleaching, which makes it difficult to style. 
Years of trying different products I have finally find the products that suits my hair. 
With these products my hair stays curled for days!


First I wash my hair with 
KC Professional Four Reasons Blond Shampoo or KC Professional Four Reasons Moisture shampoo.
Both shampoos contains Keratin which repairs and strengthens the structure of processed hair. The blond shampoo has Lemon extract which brightens lights hair.




Then I add conditioner to towel dry hair 
KC Professional Four Reasons Blond Conditioner.
Conditioner contains lemon extract and UV-protection.



When I want to add some cool tones to my hair, I use 
Crestol ColorGloss Color Conditioning mask in 17 Silver Grey.
Hairmask contains Jojoba, Argan and Avocado oils. It's also silicone, ammonia and peroxide free.
The smell is little bit granny-ish, but I can deal with it.



After shower I towel dry my hair and start the hair styling process.

First I massage
 Sebastian Potion 9 Styling Treatment cream trough my damp hair.
Potion 9 contains  9 Botanical extracts to help restore moisture and rejuvenate the hair to look healthy again.



Then I spray Matrix Wonder Boost Root Lifter to the roots and to the lengths



Next I gently massage Moroccanoil Treatment oil for ligth hair to the tips and lengths. 
Don't massage it too near of the scalp/root area or your hair will start to feel greasy and dirty faster.



After all of this I brush my hair gently with Tangle Teezer.



Usually I let my hair air dry, but if I use a blowdryer I use low/medium heat and i blowdry my hair head upside down.

When I'm feeling fancy and want to curl my hair, I add Goldwell Sleek Perfection Thermal Spray Serum to my lengths and use Remington Silk Waving Wand to achieve wavy curl.



After curling my hair I use KC Professional Four Reasons Black Edition Finishing Spray or for more flexible style Working Spray.



Amazing back combing, hair teasing tip is this Classic Silk 50 teasing brush! 
For women who love big hair.





Here is everything I do to my hair after washing it.

All of these products I have purchased with my own money and I wasn't paid for writing about these products. Every picture is taken by me, please don't steal.

Here's all for today, Have a nice day!

Peace out!

Zoeva Makeup Brushes

If you want to step up your brush-game or you want to get quality brushes for your first set.

I highly recommend these Zoeva brushes.


It's so fluffy I'm gonna die!


White bristles look luxurious and fit in well with the whole design.
 

Silver fonts on black base gives the brushes professional look.
Handles are sturdy, metal ferrule is attached well and the brush has nice weight on it.


Bristles feels soft, not floppy.
Very nice density.

These brushes have amazing quality and minimal shedding.


 Brushes comes with ether a small bag or bigger bag. 
It depends what set you purchase. 


I have the 'Complete Eye Set' and the 'Makeup Artists brush belt'.

I've been using these brushes for months now and been washing them almost every week with different brush soaps and there only minimal shedding. 

I'm definitely gonna purchase more of these brushes in the future and I also want to try out the eyeshadows and the other makeup too. 

 I purchased all of these brushes with my own money and I'm not payed to write this review. All of the pictures are taken by me, please don't steal them.

Peace out!

Sleek Makeup Review

Here is my review of few products from

Sleek Makeup


I've been using these products for a while now and I can honestly say that I really like them. All the products are affordable, higly pigmented and good quality. 

In the palette there are 12 eyeshadows some are matte and some shimmery/metallic. Usually there are somekind of theme around the palette and the colors goes with the theme. Some times there is a blush to go with the palette.

The appearance of the cases is almost matte black. The company name 'Sleek Makeup' has written on it with shiny black. The package is aesthetic and professional looking. Althought the case will get dirty easily and require lots of rubbing to get it looking new again.

i-Divine Eyeshadow palettes:


 Vintage Romance is a palette with darker, dreamy and enchanting shades.
All the colors are amazing and with lots of pigment.
The blush Antique is made to go with this palette.

  Swatches: 
Vintage Romance
(without eyeshadow primer, one swipe)


Propose in Paris is one of my favorite crease color. Lust in LA and Court in Cannes are so beautifull. Also Marry in Monte Carlo is gorgeous.


Swatches:
Oh So Special
(without eyeshadow primer, one swipe) 
The colour Bow isn't really showing, because I'm really pale, but it's still a nice shimmery cream/bone colour highlighting shade.


I absolutely love the colors: Organza, Gift Basket, Gateau and Celebrate.
At this moment I reach for the Oh So Special palette for day looks and Vintage Romance for more dramatic looks.

Blushes:


These blushes oh my gosh... I've been wearing the Rosegold (middle one) for over a month straight. It's just so gorgeous pinky rose blush with a golden sheen. This color would look nice on the eyelids too.
Antique is a dusty rose color with small silvery specks in it. Very nice romantic fall/winter color, would look nice in the crease.
Life's a Peach is a orange coral color, nice for everyday use.

All the blushes are very pigmented, good quality and long lasting. You can easily go overboard with these blushes 'cause they're so pigmented! Good products and also affordable.

Swatches:
(Only one swipe)


Lip products:

  
Matte Me - Ultra smooth matte lip cream in Birthday Suit 436
 This lip cream is my favorite matte lip product at the moment. The color is pink brown nude and when dry it's totaly matte. This lip cream will last for hours and one coat is enough.

If your lips get chapped and dry easily, you should exfoliate and moistirize before using this.

I want more of these!


The True Color Lipstick in Bare All 777
Feels creamy on the lips and not drying, maybe little chalky. The color is peachy nude and would be nice in the summer.  I think this color would good on everybody. In this range there are lipsticks with matte and sheen finish.

I need more of these lipsticks.

Swatches:


Foundation:


Bare Skin Foundation in White Rose 378

Feels light and moisturizing on the skin and is easy to blend. Evens out your skin tone and texture. Light coverage, buildable to a medium coverage. Gives you a radiant and natural look.
I have combination skin (oily t-zone, cheeks normal or dry, but in the winter I'm more dry than oily) and I needed to touch up trough out the day to mattefy my face, so it really is moisturizing and doesn't cake that easily.
I would recomend this to people who has normal or dry skin. If you have oily skin this migth slide off.


I bought these products from: www.sleekmakeup.com

Prices:
i-Divine Eyeshadow palettes 10,00 €
Blushes 5,50 €
Matte Me Lip Cream 6,49 €
True Color Lipstick 5,99 €
Bare Skin Foundation 10,00 €

Peace out xo
