Hair tutorial – how I curl my hair and the products I am using….

2 Kommentare

^usually it was about the hair style but I kind of liked the outfit so….^

^first I section off my strands and I take those clips to keep them in place^

^I use heat protection spray for every layer befor I start to curl^

^I take out thin strands and comb them befor I start to curl –
always curling with the wand up (I know many might curl with the wand upside down but I prefer this – you have to find this out by yourself – also I am not using the clamp on the curling wand, I just wrap it around and hold it by myself for about 10 seconds)^

^I curl from the back to the front and from the bottom to the top to make sure I don´t forget a hair strand^

^for every layer I already curled I am using haispray so they will hold their shape^

^usually I don´t take a brush to comb through, I just take my fingers which works just fine for me (only brushing through on the second day cause the curls aren´t that pretty anymore then and when I comb them they turn to be pretty waves^

^last step is to use some hairspray to let the curls set in and make them last longer^

^et voilà^

Hi guys,

I have really been into curling my hair lately. There are always different kinds of hairstyles I love and others I don´t but that changes throughout the year or the years. And in fact I am coming back to each hairstyle from time to time.

So in today´s post I am sharing how I curl my hair and which products I use.
I have natural wavy hair which means if I let it air dry after washing it takes about three hours and I get half curls. The curls are half curly and half wavy and that looks pretty dumb. Also my hair looks really frizzy when it dries without any help (I had the prettiest curls as a little girl and also almost white hair).

Curling my hair works best if I start with fresh dry hair. So washing my hair before is a real must. As I have such dry scapl I am using the L´oréal anti-dandruff shampoo series. Since they don´t have a conditioner (which would be available in Germany) I am using an argan oil lotion afterwards and let it set in. I got this hair serum from Logona which makes my hair incredibly soft and silky. The main ingridient is argan oil so it also smells incredible good (and it is under 10€).

Before curling I am using the heat protection spray from GHD or the morrocan hair oil from Lee Stafford.

The curling wand I am using is the Remington keratin therapy pro curl. The barrel only has a diameter of 19 mm which make pretty small and curly curls. But if you comb through them (I only do that with my fingers) after they cooled they are really beautiful.

For the finishing touch I am using the Elnett De Luxe hairspray. This is my favorite hairspray since I was 16.

Fall beauty – what I bought from the limited Kiko Milano fall 2.0 edition….

….

Hi guys,

if you are a long time reader you might know my obsession about fall and if you are new you will know very soon.

I recently went to Kiko, one of my favorite make-up stores and got some pieces of their adorable Fall 2.0 collection. The whole packaging and even the brush handles are in a luxurious dark blue hue. These are the prettiest pieces of a limited edition I had seen in a while and the best is they are affordable and have a good quality for the price.
The collection is inpired by the city on Venice. The make-up collection expresses the being of the city. Decadent, mysterious, luxurious and romantic. I have been to Venice twice and the collection is reflecting the city perfectly.

But let´s see what I have got. I wanted to have a matching lipliner to the lipstick I choose cause dark colors are hard to put on your lips especially if the lipstick isn´t new anymore and the tip has gotten round. I took the lip stylo lipstick in shade 04 deep kiss and the matching lipliner in 04 deep kiss. 

I also took a highlighter in the shade 01 Gold in progress with me. The color is super pigmented and so pretty. I will get a lot of use out of this. And I couldn´t resist to take one of the make-up brushes with the dark blue handles – it is the blush brush.


Are you ready for fall already?


Thanks for stopping by. 


Take care. See you.

Hi guys,

and happy beginning of fall y´all (I know onyl meteorological but that definitely counts for me and the weather also changed dramatically from yesterday 27 degrees to today 16 degrees).

So with the first day of September (and fall) today I am sharing my favorite nail polish colors for fall 2017 with you. I had a look at several fashion sites and magazines and of course in stores which ones are new and I really had a hard time to decide cause in fact I don´t need anymore colors although I got some. 

There are two colors remaining from the years before and I couldn´t be happier about them. That would be a classic red shade and a bold blue one. Always liked those two and I would have worn them anyway but now they are also on trend.

So what are your plans for the weekend? 
I am going to cuddle up in my softest pyjama on the sofa and a drink hot cup of cocoa, light my pumpkin spice candle I recently got and watch a movie or work on the notebook. I know it is only the first day of fall but I have been craving this weather so long now.

My top 8 summer beauty must haves….

Keine Kommentare

….


Happy (finally) Friday guys,


if you had the view I am having today you would also think that this post is a little ironic (at least for today). It is raining cats and dogs and it only has 12 degrees so there is nothing about summer and hot days in the middle of August today.

But since we are still in the middle of summer (at least on the calendar) I am sharing my top 8 beauty prodcuts with you today. 

 Beauty products are differing from season to season as the climate and the temperatures change, so your skin and your body has different needs. I have rounded up all items I am currently using.



1. EOS – lipbalm with spf – grapefruit
I have been loving those little round lip balms since I saw them the first time in the US back in 2010. Ever since I have been using them all the time. You will always find one in my bathroom, at my night stand or in my handbag. They have new scents for their summer editions every year and I really like that they include SPF.


2. 4711 – fragranced towelettes 
This is one of my favorite scents for summer. It is such a fresh and light scent. This one is an all time classic and my mom used it when she was a teenager so this brand existst for a really long time now. They also have new summer editions for their perfumes every year. This year I got the towelettes. A package contains 16 pieces and I am using them on the go for a perfume touch up or just for a quick refreshment.


3. Treaclemoon – shower gel these lemonade days
Especially in summer I love the light and fruity shower 


4. Yves Rocher – shower gel grapefruit from Florida


5. Escada – perfume “Fiesta Carioca”
The first perfume I have ever owned was from Escada. It was called “Island Kiss” and I loved it. Sadly it was only for one season but they brought it out again a few years later so I stocked up on this but I am also testing the new one every year and I think they smell pretty similar which make them almost all a pretty hit. 


6. Yves Rocher –  Monoi de Tahiti –  shimmering body oil
I would call this my staple body oil for. I have been using and purchasing this for the 3rd year now and I still love it. Especially for vacation. It just has the right amount of glow and sparkle for tan skin. And the smell is oh so good.


7. Manhattan – pink lipstick color – fun fuchsia
You at least have to have one neon lipstick for summer whether it is a bold pink or orange or a vibrant red tone.


8. Korres –  red vine sun protection spray for hair 
I had been searching through a lot of local drug store for a sun protection spray for my hair but I was really disapointed that I only found one and the smell was just disgusting. So I went online and got this spray from Korres. You can use it right after washing your hair but also when it is dry. It is developed in Greece so it might be perfect for Germany cause we don´t have as much sun as they do over there. Haven´t used it only a few times since I got it so I might do a full review in my next favorites. 
(this product isn´t in the picutres cause it arrived a few days after shooting)

Yankee Candle – summer peach

As I am a candle hoarder and looking for new scents every season it is no surprise that I had to try out this summer scent. And peaches are one of the less fruit I really like.
