#guzellikaskina Blogger Meeting 2

The participants of #guzellikaskina (beautylove) #beuternity Blogger Meeting were:

All of them beautiful girls. Some of whom I was introduced in another meeting some months before, but a lot of them was new to me. The best of knowing new bloggers is that you go and read their pages and learn a lot of new things and new views. 

My outfit of the day was a sleeveless rose pink blouse and a warm white, baby pink and silver sparkly yarn suit by Vivid. I bought this suit long ago but I am happy that I invested in such a timeless piece since it resists the time and I always feel beautiful in it. It is a 3 piece suit: jacket, pants and skirt. I choose to wear it with the skirt this time. My tights are from Penty, shiny 20 den. My shoes are Forever new baby pink saten, with swarowski stones near the ankle and on the heels.

#guzellikaskina Blogger Meeting Izmir

1 month ago I partecipated in a Blogger Meeting in Izmir and without having the opportunity to write about it in my blog, was invited in a second meeting. So I decided to begin writing from the second one. 

We met in Les Quais de Smyrna a restaurant in Alsancak, the center of Izmir. It was a beautiful small restaurant with delicious food but the portions I found to be very small and prices very expensive. 

The organizers were @bbluemakeup @morsemsiyelikiz @madamojeli @makeupandgetdressed @lightsofbeauty @mirayinmakyaji @zerrun.

Here is my photo with organisers. All of them beautiful and successful girls.

The Beauty that changed my Life

I am a young girl with a good profession and a happy marriage. I thought nothing missed in my life. I had my family always by my side and a lovely husband. I don't belive like some people do that children are the base of marriage. I only thought that it was the right time for me to have my own child. My living conditions were good and I felt mature enough to rise one. 

 

My pregnancy was hard and very long. I was happy but still anware of the beauty I was carrying.

I was happy to meet her in July 9th 2014.  She was a red baby with blue eyes. She looked just like me although she resembles her father now. I noticed how beautiful she was when I looked at her wide opened eyes. I wasn't expecting it. I always thought babies were born with closed eyes and they open the eyes 1 week after their birth. How wrong was I! She was a beautiful little girl with eyes, ears, hair, a small nose and long fingers! 

 

And her lips, perfect like her father. I loved her more and more every second. Tears came fron my eyes as I so what a beautiful little baby she was. When they put her on my chest, oh it was the paradise in earth! I was the happiest and most peaceful person in universe.

Looking after her was another way to be happy. She came out to be a sweet little girl who breastfeed so well, was calm and serene. She was just like me and her father was as a baby, an easy baby.

From my parents I have always been told to be humble and not to count on the external appearance, but for the first time in my life I can't help. I feel beautiful with her, I think every mom should feel so with her baby!

My Morning Routine

My morning routine is very important for me. It makes my day go well. I feel splendid, I feel good if I do it.

I begin my morning routine brushing my teeth. My toothbrush is a Sensodine one, it has straight brush hair and straight handle as the dentists advice.

My brush cover is Steripod. I bought it from Jocker Baby Shop. It is an antibacterial cover which effects as long as 3 month. Than you have to change it to ensure the antibacterial effect continue.

My toothpaste is Sensodyne, Whitening one because there are so many types on the market. It is the only toothpaste I have seen whiten my teeth for real.

I wash my face with Neutrogena Deep Clean Face Wash gel that I mentioned in my last blogspot. It is very good in cleaning black heads.

My daily roll on deodorant is Nivea Fresh Natural. It is the best drugstore deodorant I know but I am looking forward to finish it so I can skip to a high end one.

In stead of parfume, daily I use Body Mist like this Love Spell from Victoria's Secrets. The Pure Seduction is my favourite one.

I use Sephora Dry Shampoo in my second day hair. I tried some others too but went always back to this one.

As regarded to skin care, I use Rosense Rose Water as a tonic. It is perfect for summer because it doesn't contain alcohol, so doesn't cause dark patches in your skin. I will get the sprey bottle version as soon as I finish this one.

After 25 years old every girl should use eye cream. Mine is Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Complex 2. It is a little pricey but as I am an assistant doctor who works and has night shifts in Emergency Room and have a lot of sleepless night because of my baby girl, I think is a must for me.

I use Lancome Hydra Zen gel cream to hydrate my oily skin and as far as it goes I am happy.

My lipbalm is Born Lippy in Watermelon by The Body Shop.

My face cleaning routine

My skin type is oily. I always use gel cleaner to wash my face.

Neutrogena Deep Clean Gel Wash is my daily cleaner. It is suitable for normal and oily skin but I wouldn't use it for normal skin as I find it to be harsh even for me especially in winter when my skin need a good moisturizer afterwards. 

I use Neutrogena First Step Makeup and Face Washing Gel in my before bed routine as a face wash to take of my makeup. I wash my face and eye makeup with it. It can be used in normal and combination skin.

I use Clarisonic Mia 2 once a week on Sundays to deep clean my pores. I think it does a perfect job. It cleans the skin, open the pores, helps imperfections dry out and peels off.

I use Neutrogena Deep Clean Invigorating Daily Scrub once a week on Wednesdays in stead of Clarisonic to peel my skin. It is a physical peel with big grains and menthol smell. 

I use ActyPach Blackhead Cosmetic Patches sometimes on Wednesdays in stead of Neutrogena Scrub.

When I have skin problems I use Neutrogena Clear Pore Wash. It is a harsh cleaner but very effective.

I don't use these two together as they are both peeling agents.

I dont use the first two around my eyes or to remove eye makeup. I use them only for face makeup. I use the blue one to remove eye and face makeup.

Dip not: I am not sponsored by any means bu Neutrogena I only love their products. I am also opened for your suggestion in similar products. Hope it was helpful!

Makeup of the day 3

 EYesterday I was going to buy sunscreen. As the Clinique one with spf 50 didn't suit to me, I gave it to my momm. I haven't yeat tried a sunscreen with spf 50 that doesn't break me out. The best I tried is the Dermaplus one but its spf is still 30. So nowadays that I am so busy with my almost 11 month old dear daughter, I decided to give a try to Shiseido foundation with spf 30. So I minimise the waste of time and the number of products I carry around. I did my makeup with bare face and than went to Sephora and put the foundation. This is my makeup. 

My makeup is inspired from a tutorial of Elle Fowler in You Tube. Shiseido spf 30 foundation. I think it photographed good even it has spf. Nars Radiant councelar in Vanilla under my eyes. Mac Dressed well blush. Mac Soft & gentle highlighter on my cheeks.

Eyes: Maybelline On and on bronze cream eyeshadow as a base all over my lid. From Urban Decay Naked eyeshadow palette Sin all over my lid, Sidecar on the outer 1/3 of the eye, toasted on the outer corner and the crease of my eye, Virgin under the browbone, Hustle as an eyeliner on my upper lid. Covergirl mascara in black on my top lashes.

My lipstick is Mac Angel and on the top Nyx Babe Lipgloss.

All about my hair

 

This photo was taken a summer night 6 years ago in the wedding of our close friend. I love this haircut and colour of my hair I had. I cut my hair in Paris Coiffure which is located in Izmir, Turkey. I used to colour my hair by myself with professional dye I bought from coiffure L'Oreal Majirel 9.1 mixed with 1.5 bottle of Kolestone peroxide solution 9%. This way I can control the dye used which sometimes you can't when in coiffure. I mix the due and peroxide in right ratio. A lot of time I think hairdresser put less dye and a loy of peroxide and it burns my scalp very often. At last I keep the dye in my hair as short as possible because I am naturally blonde and my hair goes lighter quicker in difference from Turkish girls who are darker.
