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.

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!
