THE BEST OF TIANDE

noreply@blogger.com (Maya) — Thu, 27 Nov 2014 22:20:00 +0000

Hello everyone!

I've been trying out a lot of new products lately, especially skincare cause I'm obsessed with good looking skin. In this post I've decided to share with you my favorite products from Tiande and why I love using them.

1. Snake peeling - This stuff is amazing , I just repurchased my second tube. I used the first one in one month just because I loved using it on my body too. Cleans and exfoliates and leaves the skin smooth and good looking. If you need a good face wash this one is my personal favorite at this moment.

2.Sheep placenta face cream- Moisturizing cream that works well for my skin. I don't like super tick moisturizers that you can feel on your face, I prefer the once that are light and absorb quickly then leave the heavy moisturizers for the night.

3.Snake foot cream- my favorite cream so far. I'm not a huge fan of the packaging but it ok because this product works wonders . My feet are so soft , they look and feel amazing. I've been using it for awhile now and I highly recommend it .

This three products are my personal favorites from this company , if you have tried some of them or have some other recommendations please let me know .

Thank you

WEEKLY ROUTINE

noreply@blogger.com (Maya) — Mon, 13 Oct 2014 13:47:00 +0000

Hello everyone!!!

Sunday is my day to relax and do what I want , since that day my hubby is home and he can spend time with our girl and I'm free for a couple of hours. I like to watch You Tube videos and have a mini spa day. Here is my weakly routine is simple and very efficient.

Face: Orange peel is so good for the skin, I like to use fresh orange peel mixed with a face cleanser and wash my face circular motions . My skin feels fresh and radiant. Right after that I like to use a pore stripe for my nose and this Balea one works well for me. Ten minutes later after I take the stripe off I rince my face with warm water moisturize my face and use eye patches to smooth my eyes

Body: As I mention a lot of times in my posts I have very dry skin and exfoliation a must to get rid of all the flakiness of course I don't do this every single day . I like to use this face cleanser and a loofah (sometimes I'll use salt and lemon juice instead of a face wash, and if you are wondering why a face not a body wash is just that I'm trying to use up some products that are laying around my bathroom ) This Balea body lotion is one of the best once that I've tried from that brand and also another product that needs to be used up so I'm using it this month.

After having my baby my stomach is not looking the way I wanted to I'm using this stomach mask every day for the past few days and so far I can't notice any difference but I'm an optimist that with after a while of using it my stomach will look at least a bit better. This should be in my daily routine not in my weekly but I just wanted to mention it

Hair: I color my hair and cut it every other month so then I have some treatments done to it . I always use this mask for my hair I usually rinse it right after I put it on but once a week I let it sit on 10 to 20 minutes and it makes my hair shiny and healthy looking

Nails: Last but not least I do my nails . This time I'm using GR nail polish a pink color to end the sunny days. I use this baby cream to moisturize my feet , and I do this once a week because this cream is supper rich, of course since I have very dry skin I have to moisturize my feet every night before I go to bed but I use a different cream for that .

That is it for my weekly routine

Thanks for stopping by

REDISCOVERING PRODUCTS

noreply@blogger.com (Maya) — Sun, 14 Sep 2014 20:44:00 +0000

Hello everyone!

Lately I love going through my make up and use some products that I haven't touched in a while, that is just so therapeutic for me. And today while my baby was down for her nap I rediscover the best lipstick ever and I just can not forgive myself for not using this brand new lipstick . I got this one a while ago, the first one that I got I gave i to my sister and then when I got another one for myself somehow it got berried with my other lipsticks and just now I realized I have it.
I'm talking about Rimmel Kate Moss 102.The first thing I love about it is the smell , OMG I can not get over how yummy the smell is, and so soft and buttery on you lips. It comes in great quality red packaging and it is so affordable I believe I got it for 5$. It is supper easy to apply and it looks good on every skin color. The collection has 7-10 other shades and I'm sure I got a few other but I this one was my favorite. Here are a some photos, If you haven't tried it please do you won't regret it .

AUGUST FAVORITES

noreply@blogger.com (Maya) — Tue, 02 Sep 2014 20:59:00 +0000

Hello everyone!

After a long vacation from social media and my blog I am finally back with lot of new posts, interesting ideas and giveaways. This past few months I just wanted to spend all of my time with the family and it felt so good, I can't say I didn't miss my blogging but sometimes you just need to take the time for yourself. To cut this story short here and start with this post here are my august favorites.

-First thing first- FA Joghurt body wash OMG it is just what I want in summer when it is extremely hot and I rarely can stand heavy smelling anything. This one is aloe vera ,creamy , moisturizing and fresh I just love it

- Loreal Eseve Fibralogy thickness creating shampoo- If you've been reading my blog for a while you know I'm struggling with hair loss and fine hair and I tried everything that you can find in the drugstore , cause I am not a huge fan of using expensive shampoos I like something affordable and accessible and now that I found the best thing ever I stalked a bunch just in case I need all of them at once :). This shampoo lifts my hair , makes it thicker and fuller looking -AMAZING just what I need

- Loreal Elseve Re nutrition hair mask- To be honest I don't have a preference when it comes to masks I've been using Elseve since forever and this one smells like coconut and makes my hair shine and soft

-Now lets move on to moisturizers- a dermatologist once told me make sure to have anything on your face that has SPF throughout the day and make sure you use the good stuff when you go to sleep. I use a foundation that has SPF so I just get this Garnier milk and honey face cream to put it under my make up and for the night I use Loreal Revitalift (and I know it is for mature skin but I like it and I don't care).

-Moda jumbo lipstick -a Turkish brand that is super affordable and this jumbo lipsticks are so creamy and pigmented

- Tiande bronzer- I have a love hate relationship with this product , I really love the glow that it gives, perfect for summer, but the smell it is just terrible. Other then that it is ok

-Debby liquid liner- I'm using it almost every single day or the days that I wear full face of make up. It stays on for a very long time, doesn't lose color and it is so easy to use because it is a firm and tin brush

-Beauty blender -the only thing I can say is that I can not imagine my life without it :)

-Last but not least - Golden Rose color expert nail polish the perfect pink for my skin color

That is it for my monthly favorites

I'll talk to you all soon

BALEA BODY CREAM -MY NEW FAVORITE

noreply@blogger.com (Maya) — Sat, 12 Jul 2014 20:23:00 +0000

Hello everyone!

If you've been following my blog you know that I have very dry skin and I absolutely love Eucerin body lotion and I've been using it for the longest time. I still think it is an amazing product I'll definitely use it till the rest of my life, but sometimes I just like to try out new products and see how they work and up until now I haven't found something so amazing like the Balea body cream wit arganoil.

What I like about this product:

-The container contains 500ml of product
-The consistency of the product is light and it does not feel heavy on the skin once you apply it
-The smell of it is amazing , smells like light perfume, flowers and candy , OMG I just love that smell
- Even though it is light weight it is so moisturizing on the skin , I don't really like lotions that are thick and hard to apply .
- This cream is the best of everything that I've tried from Balea

The only thing that is a problem for me , is that I prefer a pump for body lotions I don't like to stick my fingers in the container every time , in my opinion it is easier if the product was in a squeeze tube or a pump bottle .

That is my quick review on this product, I just had to share it with you since is my new favorite

WAVY HAIR

noreply@blogger.com (Maya) — Mon, 23 Jun 2014 10:07:00 +0000

Hello everyone!

My hair has been through a lot this past few years, I dyed it different colors , curled it a lot, tried different cuts, so it's pretty damaged. Now that I'm in the process of getting my hair healthy again I try to stay away from curling irons, flat irons, lot of products and it is so hard to style my hair with no heat because I have the craziest frizz ever so I usually have it up in a ponytail . To cut this story short , for the days that I do my hair any other way I prefer curling it just because it is easy, looks great and the curls will look good the next day. I use a medium size curling iron and a finishing spray and that is it

MOST USED MAKEUP BRUSHES

noreply@blogger.com (Maya) — Fri, 13 Jun 2014 11:10:00 +0000

Hello everyone!

I'm sure that all beauty boogers and make up lovers have way more stuff then any other girl, and most of those things are never used and get stored in a drawer somewhere. I tend to hoard brushes thinking I really need them and I'm definitely gonna use them, but in reality I really almost never use a lot of them. Today I'm gonna show you my most used brushes ever, you'll see from the pictures that they are used frequently. All of them are used in my daily make up routine which is pretty simple and easy to do and I apply most of the products with my clean fingers .

1. This is an amazing brush and I use it on my lid, crease, outer v, bottom of my lashes...it does it all and it is the E25 blending brush by Sigma. (I need to get a new one this one is all beaten up)

2. Sigma E30 pencil brush - I usually don't do eye liner every day so I use this brush to define my eye or if I want my crease color to be more defined.

3. Anther brush that I can't live without is the Max Factor eyeshadow brush , amazing quality and so affordable, I use it the same as the E25 brush .

4. For the days that I do use any type of eyeliner I use the E65 small angle brush by Sigma

5. I've been using this brush to do my eye brows for more them five years and I absolutely love it. It is the angel brush from GOSH

6. This next brush is my go to brush for blush and highlight , you have more control whit it and it leaves just the right amount of product on your face and it is the F55 small duo fiber brush by Sigma

7. Last but not least is the ARTDECO kabuki brush and it is amazing for mineral foundations since I tend to gravitate more towards mineral foundations I use it very often

8. And now I know you are thinking how do I contour -I use cream rather then powder and I apply it under my mineral foundation using a beauty blender and it works great . This one is from Ebelin and I also use it for concealer and liquid foundation

That is it

I hope you found this interesting

FAVORITE EYESHADOW DUPE

noreply@blogger.com (Maya) — Sat, 31 May 2014 21:12:00 +0000

Hello everyone!

In my last post I mentioned that I found some dupes for the itsjudytime eye shadows, and today I'm gonna share with you one of my favorites. I've been using this color a lot even though it is a darker color it is so wearable and you can do so many looks with it that is just amazing.In the next few pictures you can see how similar almost identical they are. The Itsjudytime is a bit lighter then the one in the Bh Cosmetics 120 5th edition palette, but you can totally work them and they'll look the same .

They look the same don't you think

I tried all of the other colors with some of the 5th edition one and I found a lot of similar colors that would have the same effect. So if you do have the 5th edition palette you can recreate a lot of Judy's make up looks. I use the Itsjudytime palette almost every singel day it is just so conveniant and the colors are amazing now that I found some backups I'm even more happy.

Hope you found this interesting

Thank you

EOTD - MY FAVORITE

noreply@blogger.com (Maya) — Thu, 22 May 2014 19:38:00 +0000

Hello everyone!

This is one of my all time favorite look that I enjoy wearing a lot. Every time I don't know what to do with my make up I do this look and it takes me less then 10 min. to do it. When I was taking the pictures I didn't realize they were so pale so excuse the lack of color the shadows are a bit darker in person. And whats new I used the Itsjudytime palette again , and I have some dupes for those eyeshadows that I'll be sharing with you soon.

Thank you for stopping by

MONTHLY EMPTIES AND FAVORITES

noreply@blogger.com (Maya) — Wed, 30 Apr 2014 20:26:00 +0000

Hello everyone!

I realized that this month all of my empty's are my all time favorites and I am happy that I can share with you my all time favorite products and at the same time excited because I'm gonna have to restock all of them asap and we all know what that means -SHOPPING . So no lets get started

-Eucerin body lotion- I always had problems with dry skin, and this body lotion helped me a lot. A little goes a long way so you'll be using it for a while, I also like to use it on my face right when I get out of the shower and it make a huge difference with my make up application ( of course I have to use a face moisturizer right before I do my make up) and I use it on my baby girl as well she has dry skin like mommy. Amazing stuff and so affordable , 750ml of product retails around 18 $-not bad.

- Afrodita eye cream - I've been using the same eye cream for a long time now, and I liked it so far , but now that I only get 4-5 hours of sleep I need the heavy stuff, something that will help with my tired looking eyes and fine lines. But still this is one of my favorite products for younger people

- Wellaflex hair mousse - Unfortunately in my country I can not get this anywhere , my family from Germany got a few of them for me the last time they visited, and now they are gone. This mousse is perfect for my hair , it holds well when I curl my hair and it give it a nice body . Smells nice too witch is a huge plus for me.

- Dove deodorants - The only thing I can say is AMAZING, smells good , leaves no marks , and lasts a long time. I've been using it for years .

- MAC pro longwear- This foundation is the perfect match for my skin, I know that there are a lot of good foundations out there but this one is my personal favorite, the coverage is amazing.

- MAC mineralize skinfinish natural - I am in love with this, it is so easy to use, it covers up well and it looks amazing. You can see how much I love this product I used it all up and I'll definitely repurchase it

- Loreal Volume Million Lashes mascara. There are so many good drugstore mascaras out there , and this is one of them. If you build it well is like you are wearing false lashes, so amazing. If you haven't tried it yet you have to.

-Revlon lipstick 001 Nude attitude- My favorite nude of all time, this is my second or third one that I used up, great color for me and so affordable you just can't go wrong with this lipstick

That is it for my monthly empties and favorites

I hope you liked this post

Thank you

BOURJOIS HEALTHY MIX FOUNDATION AND CONCEALER

noreply@blogger.com (Maya) — Sat, 12 Apr 2014 13:36:00 +0000

Hello everyone!

Today's post is a review , whats new right :) I love sharing with all of you my experiences of all the new products I try . This product has been around for ages, and now that I have used up some of my old foundations I could get some new to try out. And here is my personal and honest opinion of the product, actually two products.

Bourjois healthy mix foundation and concealer

Lets start with the concealer,

Positive:

Packaging is a squeeze tube -works well

A little goes a long way -you only need a tear drop to conceal your whole face

It concealed my dark circles perfectly

Lasted a long time -I wore it for 7-8 hours and it handled pretty well

It was 9$ at my local drugstore

Negative:

It did settle into my fine lines a bit -but not too much were it is showing a lot

Foundation:

I got this foundation when my skin was acting up and it was getting oilier then usual

Positive:

Coverage is great it evened out my skin and covered my imperfections well ( I used it without the concealer so I can see the coverage )

Packaging is great- a pump is a must in my dictionary

Long lasting- I don't know if it lasts 16hours cause I've only had it for 7-8 hours , after 7 hours it looked good

The consistency of the foundation is a bit more thick then the concealer , but you can blend it easily and build it up for more coverage

it was 18$ at my local drugstore

Negative:

Nothing negative

Overall:

After using it for a few days I found that this foundation enhanced my dry spots and did not look appealing on me so I ended up giving it to my sister because she has oily to combination skin and she loved it . The foundation looked so much better on her skin so keep that in mind when your getting this particular foundation. As far as concealer goes I gave that to my sister to just to see if it'll work better on her and it most definitely did. it did not setlle in her fine lines so I think my problem it was that my skin is usually dry especially in colder weather. Every foundation worked diferent on everyone , but if you have oily skin and are looking for a drugstore foundation and concealer, try them for sure.

I hope you found this review helpful

REVLON HAIR COLOR

noreply@blogger.com (Maya) — Tue, 04 Feb 2014 15:31:00 +0000

Hello everyone!!!

After using a lot of different hair colors, trying everything that is out there to purchase I finally can say that I found the perfect one. I am coloring my hair since forever, and I always had the same problems with hair colors-they would dry out my hair, wont last a long time, and a lot of them made my hair fall out a lot. The last product I got to test out was the Revlon Color silk in No. 33 Dark soft brown.

First impressions : The product it is easy to apply, it did not dry my hair whatsoever, and it gave me a beautiful glowing hair, the color lasted longer then all of the others that I've recently tried

The claims : It claims on the packaging that leaves hair in better condition , has UV defense , ammonia free.

The selection:The color selection is good , there are not a lot of different colors to chose from , but in my opinion it has enough colors to satisfy everyone.

Prize: It was 8$ at my local drugstore, very affordable

After using it for a while : After three months of using this hair color I've noticed a lot less hair fall out, my hair looks supper shine all the time, the color is not fading away after few washes.

Overall: I really love this product a lot, it made my hair look a lot better then it use to. If you are searching for a good hair color that lasts long and has great coverage then you should definitely try this one As far as other drugstore hair colors go I have a long list of once that I did not like at all, but I don't want to talk negative about other companies, so that is why I'm shearing here on my blog only the products I like and I find them usefull.

That is it

Thank You

EOTD-USING ITSJUDYTIME PALETTE

noreply@blogger.com (Maya) — Sun, 02 Feb 2014 14:37:00 +0000

Hello everyone!!!

When Bh cosmetics lounged Itsjudytime palette I was in the first ones that got it. Since then I used it a lot and I just love how compact it is and how amazing the colors are. You can find it on Bh cosmetics web site if you want to purchase, it is limited edition but I'm not sure till when they will sell it. There are a lot of swatches and reviews on the web so I decided not to do one instad I'll make a few EOTD posts where I'll be using the palette. So here is the first one

A very simple everyday look using three colors , I wear this look almost every single day

And I'm using Essie eyelashes

I hope you liked this look

I'll post lots more using this palette
