My Summer Dresses

I'm a bit late this time but since I live in Izmir,Turkey and summer is a long season here, I thought I can still do my summer dresses blogpost.
I love dresses and I wish I could wear them more often.

 

This pink dress is one of my favourite ones. I feel like a Barbi when I put it on and it is made especially for me from my tailor.

 

 

This is one of my oldest dresses in a warm yellow color

  with wheat design on it.

 

 

This dress is also tailor made, it says "Aloha" and "Hawai" on it and it feels tropical. You want almost put a flower on your hair and walk by the beach on it.

 

 

This is a tricky dress, it makes your shoulders appear larger (although mine are large enough) and you have to have a flat stomach to wear it.

 

 

This is the dress that me and my best friend Ana loved both :) and bought both :) It brings a lot of good memories to me.

 

 

 

This may seem like a formal dress but it has a vent in the front, in the middle and it's appropriate to wear in fall too.

 

This is my lonly red dress and you can updress or downdress it, so it can be very useful.

 

This is a country dress, very fine and fluffy.

 

 

This powder color dress is a modern but also modest one. It makes you look sweet like an angle but chik at the same time.

 

 

A strong colour and a shiny fabric but wear if you can hold all attention being in to you.

 

 

It's a night dress for special occasions. Love the sparkles.

 

 

And a white dress to end, because its the dress that should be in every girl's wardrobe. I makes a girl look innocent and naturally beautiful.

 

JULY FAVOURITES 2013

My July favourites this month are some of my summer favourites and my most used products of the month and I loved them. The first item is Max Factors Max effect Mini Nail Polish 12. It was a present from Gratis the market where I purchased some other cosmetics and I didn't thought I would like it so much. First I painted my toes with it and it is such a beautifull summery hot pink that after a while I painted all my other nails and I think of purchasing the full size now.

 

My second favourite is a sunscreen, Derma Plus MD ZinClear SPF 30 Tinted in Nude. It is a sunscreen for face, it has Zinc in it so it helps fighting blemishes, protects from sun and gives you some color so you don't look very pale. It doesn't contain any oil. It's the best I ever tried.

 

 

Victoria's Secret Body Sprey in Pure Seduction is my summer sence this year. It is described as Red Plum and Freesia sence. It is the sexiest body sprey I have tried . I bought it online but Victoria's Secret is also in Istanmbul now, I found a shop in Ataturk International Airport in Istanbul and got crazy happy!

 

 

The weather is very hot now in Turkey, Izmir where I live, so I try to avoid foundation these days so after I put my tinted sunscreen I put some Sephora mineral powder on. It is a fine compact foundation powder and I use it in Money 25.

 

 

Another summer essencial are Oil blotting papers. I found the Sephora one. They not only take all the oil but also contains a fine translucent powder, so after using the paper you don't have to powder your face. The best thing about oil blotting papers is that you can use them over your makeup, even when you have some heavy makeup on. 

 

 

My beach mascara is False Lash Effect Waterproof Mascara. Since it is waterproof you can go swimming in sea and pool and it is a good not clamping mascara, if you have smudging problems in hot wheather.

 

 

My favourite blush is a baby pink one from The Balm, Down Boy. It is very pigmented and long lasting so you don't have to reapply during the day.

 

 

My most used eyeshadow is from Urban Decay Naked eyeshadow palette. I got it online. They are shimmery very natural colored eyeshadows. This palette comes also with a makeup primer.

 

 

 Hope you like these products. If you tried them or if you have any question please live a comment down. Happy summer!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Skin care

Today I want to show you my skin care rutine. My skin is oily so the products I use are oily skin proper. I will write some alternatives for other skin types also.

 

First I remove my make up with Bioderma Sensibio H2O. It is the best make up remover for every type of skin. Especially for sensible skin.

 

 

I put a head band so my hair don't get wet.

 

 

 

I clean my face with Neutrogena Deep Clean, a gel wash suitable for oily and normal skin. Don't use it if your skin is dry, better use some cleansing milk.

 

Neutrogena Clear Pore Wash in the best washer for oily and especially acne prone skin. I use it if my face is not in good condition.

 

 

 Next I use Neutrogena Deep Clean Invigorating Daily Scrub. It has a good peeling effect and a strog mentol scent which helps waking up. 

 

Then I scrub my lips with Lush Bubblegum lipscrub. It is a sugary lipscrub with an amasing flavour and you can leak and eat it if you want or rinse with water :)

 

After scrub I put some hot water in a big bowel and do some vapor to open the pores and get rid of black heads.

 



 

This is another useful tool for back heads, but you can use your fingers and some toilet paper rolled into them for the same purpose.

 

After cleaning the pores I use L'Oreal Triple Acting Fresh Tonic to narrow them.

 

Then I use Neutrogena Deep Clean Oil-Contoling Mask but you can use whatever mask you want, even some home made masks.

 

I use a wet sponge to take off the mask. I repeat the Tonic in this step.

 

 

After finishing cleaning my skin I put some eyecream on. My favourite one is Bioderma Sensibio Eye because is the only cream that don't make my eye skin ichy, since I have a very sensitive eye skin and a lot of other high end cream didn't work.

 

 

And last but not least I always hydrate my skin with L'Oreal Pure Zone Moisturizer.

 

After my skin care rutine I don't put any make up or foundation on for 2- 3 days. My skin feels very soft, gentle and healthy.

APRIL FAVORITES 2013

Last month I found out some new products and I loved them, so I decided to do a series of favorite products every month. Here it is my April favorites:

My first favorite is "Neutrogena one step gentle cleanser". I use the original Neutrogena face cleanser for oiled skin a lot and it is still my favorite, but the advantage of this one is that it is suitable for around eyes too. It is not only a face cleanser but also a make up cleanser, and I love it when I do heavy make up.

This is "Aussie moist 3 minute miracle  deep treatment condition revitaliser". It is a very good hair conditioner, makes the hair very very smoth. I use it after shampoo, leave it 3 minutes in my hair and then comb my hair and rinse it. I was send it from America but the good news is that I found here in Watson stores in a similar but white bottle.

These days Bioderma has become my favorite brand in skin care. This is "Bioderma Sensibio Eye Gel" for sensitive and intolerant skin. A lot of eye creams make my skin itchy and dry so I am very happy to find something delicate like this.

This is my favorite body sprey "The Body Shop in Vanilla". It is a light sprey and I like to sprey it before I go to work because I dont want to smell too much parfume there.

And here it is my favorite's favorite "Urban Dekays Nakede Basics" eyeshadow palete. I wanned to be the first to get it and I was very happy when I so it in Sephora.

I did a lot of make up looks with this palette this month, and each of them was very natural. I feel it enhances your natural beauty, and don't feel like you have make up at all.

My new mascara is "Cover Girl Lash Blast Volume" and it was send to me from America too but it has the same brush and is very similar with Max Factor Mascara. It don't cause clamping in eyelashes and you don't have to use eyelash curler with it because it curles the lashes in a perfect way.

My favorite lipstick "Maybelline Color Sensational in Pink Brown No 620" is in a natural pink color. It's just like my lips color.

 

 My favorite lipgloss "NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss in Beige No 129" is a baby pink colored lipgloss. I don't think you can find the same color, but this brend can be found in Douglas stores and there are a lot of other beautiful colors . It is a mate color and it isn't sticky at all. So I highly recommend it. That's all for April. Hope you like it!
