How to get beautiful and nourished hair without going to the hairdresser every day? Aside from the regular trimming of the hair ends that you have to do in a salon, hair care at home also plays a big role in achieving beautiful and healthy hair. At home, you can achieve a hair salon look with only a few products and some patience.

A few months ago I wrote about my dandruff struggle and I finally put an end to it. I threw out everything that irritated my scalp, aggressive shampoos and kept the products to a minimum. I use shampoo, conditioner and hair styling cream as my hair care products. Sometimes I put oil or a hair mask on my hair and try to use as little dry shampoo as I can.

I start my hair care routine with L’Oreal Professionnel Serie Expert Inforcer hair shampoo. This is a shampoo for restoring damaged hair, it strengthens the hair and reduces hair breakage. It contains Biotin and Vitamin B6, which strengthens the hair, so this shampoo is perfect for anyone struggling with hair loss like I do. It foams really well, has a pleasant scent and I only need one shampooing to make my hair clean. 300 ml, 66 kn

For the past few months, I have been using oils regularly in my skincare routine. In the summer, I only use oils in the evening when I want to deeply nourish my skin. Over the winter, I’m sure I’ll mix a drop of oil with my day cream. I’m currently using Nuxe dry oil that you’ll read about today.

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multifunctional Dry Oil is designed for intense hydration and regeneration of face, body and hair. It contains a cocktail of seven botanical oils in its formula: a very nutritious Tsubaki oil with antioxidant and anti-age properties along with sweet Almond oil that softens the skin.

It also contains moisturizing Camellia oil, stretch marks and wrinkle-fighting Borage oil, smoothing Hazelnut oil, nourishing Macadamia oil and repairing Argan oil. It contains no alcohol, mineral oils or preservatives.

I have been using this product for several months now and my skin really loves it. I started using retinol and this oil comes in handy as an extra booster of hydration and care. I mostly use it in the evening after applying my face cream, I put a drop or two on my face and tap it into my skin. After application, I no longer have the feeling of tightening the skin or the feeling of dryness on my face. It softens the face nicely and nourishes the skin.

There are different facial cleansing devices available on the market today and sometimes it’s difficult to choose which device to buy. To help you make your choice, today I bring you a review of a sonic facial cleansing device – FOREO LUNA mini 3. FOREO is a Swedish brand that manufactures facial cleansing devices and products, which guarantees clean and beautiful skin.

The FOREO LUNA mini 3 is a smart face cleanser. When I say it’s a smart device, I really mean it. It is an electric facial cleanser that works on the principle of t-sonic pulsations, pulsations that penetrate deep into the skin and remove 99.5% of dirt, sebum, sweat and dead skin cells. T-sonic pulsations increase circulation and exfoliate the skin without pulling the skin.

For the most part, I always write about products I recommend and love, but sometimes I find products that don’t suit me. To save you a dime, I’ve put together a list of products that disappointed me and I wouldn’t recommend buying them.

Although these products do not suit me, it does not mean that no one else should use them or that I have something against the brand. I always try to be objective and share my honest opinion, I’ve tested these products long enough to know what is my opinion about them.

Regular exfoliating can be crucial in maintaining a clear skin and radiant complexion. Exfoliating removes dead skin cells from the face and prevents irregularities and ingrown hairs. If you are interested in learning more about this topic, keep reading.

Exfoliation can be mechanical or chemical. Mechanical peeling cleanses the surface of the skin with finely grounded particles, while chemical peeling goes deep into the skin with active ingredients such as AHA and BHA acids. Whether on the face or on the body, after using an exfoliator, the complexion is brighter and clearer, and the skin is softer and smoother with a nicer texture.

Personally, I prefer both mechanical and chemical peelings, depending on how much time I have. Lately I have been using Neutrogena Hydro Boost Face Exfoliator, a facial scrub with hyaluronic acid. It is intended for all skin types and does not dry out the skin as it is alcohol free. It contains glycerin, which can greatly help with the hydration and elasticity of dry skin.

Never enough of perfumes, right? Recently I used up all the perfumes I had and decided to add a new one in my collection. I already had a chance to try Elizabeth Arden perfumes and I wanted to add one perfume of this brand to my collection. This is the first perfume review ever on this blog.

Do you know the difference between extrait de parfume, eau de parfume and eau de toilette? The perfume extrait contains the highest concentration of scent, from 15 to 40%, the scent is very intense and lingers on the body for a very long time. Eau de parfume contains 8-20% of perfume extract, and the scent remains on the body for up to six hours.

I like to try out new products so this time I decided to make a lip care set with which you can prepare your lips for applying lipstick. I chose a lip balm and a lip scrub, it is a versatile combination that will suit many as the products are very nourishing and not rough on the skin.

To prepare the lips for lipstick application or application of any other lip products, especially matte lipstick, it is necessary to exfoliate the lips first. I used to do a homemade lip scrub, but I got bored of it so I decided to try a new product. I will use Burt’s Bees Conditioning Lip Scrub to remove any dead skin cells and impurities from the lips.

This lip scrub contains 100% natural ingredients such as castor oil, beeswax and honey crystals. The exfoliation is very mild and softens the lips while nourishing and regenerating them. The scrub particles are so finely ground that they melt immediately when applying the product to the lips. It makes me feel like I am applying a lip balm, not a scrub.

I have not used the Makeup Revolution palettes for so long, I actually started my beauty journey using their palettes so I wanted to remind myself of their quality. They constantly have something new on the market so I decided to try out a new palette and see if it’s practical and good quality.

I’ve been looking so long for an eyeshadow palette that has shimmer and mat colors, that has earthy and bronze colors. A palette that has darker shades and lighter shades with which a daily look and night look can be made. This Makeup Revolution Forever Flawless Eye Shadow Palette Decadent is perfect for my needs at this time.

It has 18 shades and a large mirror, a metal packaging that is very firm and you can’t open it easily. The palette contains seven shimmer shades and eleven mat shades. The pigmentation is very good, and it may be even better if you spray a small amount of setting spray on the brush and apply the eyeshadow. On the other hand, the pigmentation is best if you apply eyeshadow with clean fingers, which is the case with most eyeshadow palettes.

As for blending, I did not have any problems with that. All shades are creamy enough so they can be beautifully blended and do not look dry on the eyelid. Mat shades have a slight fallout, this is more noticeable with darker shades, so be sure to shake the excess off before applying it to the lid. For lighter shades, the fallout is minimal, and there is no fallout with shimmer shades. The shades do not fade after a while and they look great on the eyelid.

Another one of Nivea news is the Urban Skin line, a line enriched with ingredients that protect the skin from harmful effects from the environment we live in. Sounds great, right? The Urban Skin line contains a multitude of interesting products that I want to try and for now I decided to try just a moisturizing mask.

I’m talking about Urban Detox Moisturise face mask that contains green tea and hyaluronic acid. If you know me, you know that these two ingredients are my favorite so it’s normal that I had chosen a product like this.

I have not had the opportunity to try any moisturizing masks until now and I just needed one of these. The mask has a very gel like and thick texture, like applying a very rich face cream. The formula of the mask is blue and when you start to apply it onto the skin then it turns into a white color.

The mask should be applied to a clean face, avoiding the area around the eyes, hold it for one minute and then rinse it. I have to admit I left it for more than a minute on my face to see if the effect is different. A minute or two minutes, it’s the same, it doesn’t make any difference for me.

After washing off the mask, the skin is very soft and hydrated, which is the ultimate goal of this mask. This product is one of the few that does not create a feeling of burning on my face, but instead it creates a feeling of hydration.

I did not notice that my face now looks cleaner or tighter, as Nivea claims, but the mask gives hydration and that’s why I wanted to have it. When the skin is moisturized and nourished, it automatically looks healthy and fresh. It takes a small amount for the whole face, two pea grains, which means that this mask will last me forever if I use it twice or three times a week.

-Yes or No?-

I like to use face masks, sometimes two or three times a week, sometimes less often, depending what my skin needs. This Nivea mask came super handy and I’m very glad I got a chance to try it. If you need extra hydration on your face, and look for an affordable option – this is the product for you.

The price of this mask on Notino is 38.30 kn and you get an amount of 75 ml.
