Favourite hair care products

These are my hair care products. It's nothing new if you live in USA but all amazing and unobtainable for Europian  and Asians ;)The shampoo I love is Kerastase Bain Satin 2. It smooths and detangle the hair. It is heat activated, so perfect for people who likes to take bath with hot water. It is a good shampoo for dyed, bleached, dried, dehydrated long hair. The only disadvantage is that it doesn't do much for scalp. So when I used to dye my hair and had dandruff I used once a week Tresan shampoo for my scalp to repair from the damage (usually in the middle of the week) and once a week Kerastase for my hair to look great (usually on weekends).

Macadamia natural oil is a hair masc  but I use it in stead of conditioner.  It is the most amazing hair masc I have ever used. It makes hair like silk and even my dry hair. I use all over my hair however you should apply mascs only on split ends on the tips of you hair or at least on the hair past you ear longitude. But I don't feel at all my hair geting greasy earlier, so I like the way I use.

It's 10 leave-in conditioner is a multipurpose conditioner. It detangels, protect hair from heat etc. I sprey it on my damp hair and than comb it.

Go Blonder from John Frieda is a bleaching sprey for blondes. I sprey it on damp hair on my roots, comb again throw and I dry my hair with hairdryer for the sprey to cause the reaction of color lightening. It works perfect for me. It doesn't burn my scalp like dyes do, lights my hair color gradually, so it looks very natural, like highlights caused by sun. I didn't noticed any orageness on my hair so it's my favourite product to lighten my hair. The only thing is that it's almost impossibl to be found in Turkey. 

The last but no least. Moroccan oil. A treatment oil that smooths, defrizes and nourishes hair.

My favourite eyeliners

Today I want to show you my favourite eyeliners.

My favourite liquid liner is Maybelline Master Precise. It is really a precise liner and very black, easy to do very fine line and very sharp edge. It's perfect when you do bold or red lips and you don't want too much eye makeup but you still want to look sophisticated. I used it in my New Year 2015 makeup and loved the way it looked.

My favourite pencil eyeliner is L'Oreal Infallible Indefectible one. In contrast with the first liner it isn't very black. I use it when I don't want a sharp line but a more natural liner look. It smudges easyly and once dried, stays in place all day. That's why it is perfect for smoky eye and for underneath eyeshadow especially when you want a black mat eyeshadow  look. It is not waterproof so not the perfect one for waterline ( although I use it there a lot of  time ) , but when used in upper lid as liner it don't comes off easily in sea or pool. I use it in beach very often. I love it best with Maybelline cream eyeshadow On and on bronze, it is a perfect combination to poop up my eye color. I love the elevator for easy use and also the rubber to smudge, I use it in stead of my brushes a lot of time.

My favourite gel eyeliner is Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama in 01 Black. It is the first gel eyeliner I tried and I immediately fall in love with it. It is the eyeliner that helped me to learn how to do eyeliner. It is so easy to work with, the best for beginners. I use it with Mac 210 or 266 eyeliner brushes. I prefer Mac 266 better, it is easier to use.

My favourite eyeshadow eyeliner is Crave from Urban Decay's Naked Basics eyeshadow palette. It is the most natural of all liners, it is a brownish black that makes my lashes look denser, perfect liner for blondes, perfect liner for daily use but be careful it falls a lot so better apply it before foundation and concealar. It creates the look of no eyeliner but you still have it there. Best applied with Mac 266 eyeliner brush.

Hope you like them. If you have some better option let me now down in comments.

Kisses!

My favourite highend makeup products of 2014

Today I decided to write my favourite highend products of 2014. They are a bit pricey but worth every penny according me. They are in order I would use them to do a makeup look and I choose one of every group even sometimes I like 2 foundations or 5 lipstick. I tried hard to narrow my choice as much as possible.

Best Primer: Benefit The Porefessional 

Best Foundation: Estée Lauder Double Wear

I didn't forget concealar but for the moment I don't have a highend one that is my favorite.

Best Makeup Fixing Sprey: Mac Makeup Fixing Sprey

Best powder: Laura Mercier Transparent Loose Powder 

Best Bronzer: Nars Laguna

Best Blush: Nars Orgasm

Best Highlight: Mac Soft and Gentle

Best Eyeshadow Base: Nars Eyeshadow Primer but I forgot to put it in the photo.

Foundations

The foundation I use and love are:

The first one is a drugstore foundation that I can't stop using, Maybelline Affinetone in 30 Sand. It is a perfecting & longlasting foundation. It really lasts 24 hour, but at the end of the day I get greasy as I have greasy skin, so I always apply a transparent mattifying powder over it. It has SPF 19 sunscreen so suitable as a daily foundation. I apply it with Mac 187 brush evenly and very quickly perfect when I am in hurry. As I have cronic anemia I love that this foundation gives me some warmness and colour and I don't look as pale as I really am. It is a medium coverage foundation.

The second foundation is a new one for me, Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua in 22 Beige Rose. It is a real mach for my skin tone. It is an ultra-light skin perfecting foundation with SPF 15. It is such a fine and smooth foundation that you can wear it even without primer. It looks like your skin and feels like satin. It's ideal for no makeup makeup look. The right foundation if your boyfriend or husband doesn't like the caked look the most foundation leave. You can fool anyone with this :) It is a light coverage foundation so sometimes I have to apply 2 layers and I always apply coloured powder on it to build up the coverage. I apply it with a dense kabuki brush like Sigma Flay Kabuki - F80.

The last but not least is the best of the best foundations of 2014 for me, Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation. It is a stay-in-place foundation with SPF 10. It photographs perfectly. It is a full coverage foundation. The best to wear in special events of your life. I even wore it during my labour this year. It covers all the spots, all hiperpigmentation. I apply it with a damp Beauty Blender (pink makeup sponge) because it is very dense and sometimes it can look caked. It applies beautifully that way. Because I have greasy skin I apply also transparent powder on it, but you may not need it. If I had to choose only one of them I would choose this one without any doubt.

Hope it has been helpfull to read my opinions!

Makeup of the day 2

@makeupgirls76 began a new tag #15daysofmakeup and @pinkiesoftheday_ found it out and brought it to Instagram Turkey. Dear @nemihaa tagged me to partecipate in this tag and I am happy to do it. 

First day I should do an everyday makeup. So here it is:

As we are on holidays now I did a light but glam makeup today. The products I used are: 

Face: I applied Benefit Porefessional face primer with my fingers, Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua foundation in 22 Beige Rose with Mac 187 makeup brush, Mac Studio Finish concealer in NC20 warming it and blending it with my fingers because it is a very difficult concealer to use, Stay Matte in transparent under the eyes with Real Techniques contour brush ( I am sorry I didn't put my face brushes in the photo), Mac Mineralized Skin Finish powder in Light Plus all over my face with  Mac 182 kabuki brush.

Cheeks: I put Nars bronzer in Laguna with Mac 163 brush, on my cheeks, front, under my jaw bones and on my neck and Benefit Coralista blush with Mac 129 brush on my cheeks anf sides of the front.

Eyes:I put Nars Pro-primer all over the lid with my fingers. I used Lorac Pro palette to do my eye makeup. I put White eye shadow with Mac 224 brush on my brow bone, Nude in the inner corner of eye with Mac 219 brush, Taupe in my crease and on my lower eyelid with Mac 224 brush, Maive in my crease with Mac 217 brush than I blended the eye shadows with a clean Real Techniques deluxe crease brush. I applied Champagne on my upper lid with Mac 239 brush and Expresso on my upper lash line as eye liner and on 1/3 of outer lower lid lash line with Mac 266 brush. I curled my upper lashes with Shu Uemura eyelash curler and finished my eye makeup with one coat of brown Maybelline Volume Express mascara on my upper and lower lashes and one coat of black Maybelline Volume Express mascara only on my upper lashes.

Lips: I moisterized my lips with Nivea Milk & Honey and put on my Mac Syrup lipstic that is a beautiful light mauve perfect for winter.

Hope you like it!

Makeup of the day

Welcome 2015! Welcome January! Today was a cold sunny day in Izmir. After several days of using red lipstick because of New Year celebrations, I wanted to do a lighter makeup so I came up with this one. 

The products I used are the most high end ones because I prefer to use them during holidays and drugstore ones on daily bases.Face: Benefit Porefessional face primer to minimise the pores and help foundation stick better since I am using a light coverage one. Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua foundation, because it is smooth and so light that looks like my bare skin and my husband thinks I have nothing on my face :) Mac Studio Finish concealer, I find it heavy but I'm trying to finish it before using another one. Rimmel Say Matte transparent powder under the eyes. Mac Mineralised Skinfinish Natural powder in Light Plus all over the face to add some coverage to my light foundation.

Cheeks: Nars Laguna bronzer, which is a matte warm brown. Coralista blush a satiny coral blush, the best if you got some kilograms more but you stil want to have something on your cheeks ;) Mac Mineralized Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle highlighter that is shinny enough but not glittery or white.

Eyes: Mac Paint Pot in Painterly, Maybelline Master Precise eyeliner, Maybelline Volume Express black mascara.

Lips: Sephora Lip Attitude Glamour G03 lipstick a beautiful creamy coral suitable for both winter and summer. 

Hope you liked it!

Most repurchased beauty products

My most repurchased beauty products:

Neutrogena Deep Clean face gel. It is the product I bought the most of all. It is an important part of my morning rutine. Purifies the skin, help preventing black heads, doesn't dry too much the skin. 

Kerastase Bain Satin 2 is my favourite  hair shampoo. Make the hair smooth and shinny even if you don't use conditioner after it.

Gliss Oil Nutrive hair sprey helps combing hair without splitting it and has a very good smell that will surely be noted by people around you.

Covergirl Lash Blast Volume mascara is the best mascara I use. It can't be found in Turkey that's why I get it brought from America. Benefit They're real and Max Factor mascaras have similar performance.

Maybelline Affinetone foundation is the best drugstore foundation I have ever used. My colour is Sand and it maches my skin and also gives some pinky pigmentation perfect for fair blonde girlss and all those having anemia whose skin looks very yellow normally. After using  it my skin color looks perfect, it has medium to high coverage and don't feel sticky like some other drugstore foundations do. It is a liquid foundation with powder finish. It is proper for normal, mix and oily skins.

Estee Lauder eye cream is a light gelly cream. As I don't have to many problems in under eye area I can't say much but it helps me a lot especially when I work with  shifts as I work in Emergency Medicine Department and work a lot during the night. Let's say I want to prevent more than correct ;)

Mustella strech mark prevent lotion is the one I used all my pregnancy and repurchased during that time. Now I'm using what is left cause I remained very impressed from its performance.

Rosense rose water is the best I have found. Turkey is famous for rose water but be aware that not every one is for cosmetic use. This is the best tonic. Strings the pores, gives freshness to skin, has a great settled smell that doesn't overwhelm you like the most of rose water do.

Bioderma cleaning water is my most used make up remover as I don't use too much waterproof makeup. It takes my makeup off, doesn't dry my skin, doesn't cause redness and the most important doesn' cause acne as a lot of makeup remover do.

Cliniquechubbystick in Mighty Mimosa is a repurchase too because has a beautiful pink colour and is "your lips but better" kind of lipstick for me.
