Straight hair


I sometimes miss my straight hair a lot, but I know how damaging it is to use heat on your hair all the time, so I try to resist straightening them

March Favs

OPI Mod about you I got this because lollipop26 was raving about it... and let me tell you I do not regret it at all.... I think it might be my fav nail polish of all times

Nars Angelika I love love love this, it is such a nice pink blusher.. don't be afraid of the glitter it blends away easily

Creme Cup lipstick... now that is soo weird I ordered this lipstick online about a year ago... I hated it at first, couple month ago I found it in my drawer and thought thats such a waste I need to use it... I tried it and fell in love, I almost used it up and will be repurchasing

Shiseido Lipgloss in Rose Petal such a nice pink gloss, non sticky, goes perfectly with creme cup

Glamour Check eyeshadow is a reddish brown color... I love it for in the crease, smuged under the lower lashline... Its just a very nice shadow... and staflash shadows are really good consistency

got2be Hairspray smells like candy... sooo nice

Hair revolution



Well as you already know I did go out without straightening my hair....

My hair is really dry, frizzy and as "curly girl" would say swayvy.

I've been using heat on my hair for years and lately I also dyed my hair black, which I regret (too cold, too blue)... Sooo my hair is really demaged

I am a lazy person, I didn't really take care of my hair, I wasn't using conditioners and heatprotection.... so my hair is reallly damaged!!!!!

I hate my natural hair, but I reallized that I just didn't know how to style it and take care of it so that I don't need to straighten it.

Since I was ill last couple days and had planty of time lying on my couch I've gone hair research crazy!!!!!

Things I came across are:

The Curly Girl Method

wich basically says that shampoo is bad bad bad for dry thursty curly hair!!!! It contains sulfates whish dry out your hair!!

they suggest to wash your hair with conditioner!!! I was curious, but I know last summer I accidetaly used Conditioner instead of my shampoo, and my hair turned out really really greasy... I hated it!!!!!!!

The next thing is the DevaCurl Line

it is the line that was devoloped by the curly hair salon in Soho New York and Lorraine Massey, the author of Curly Girl

This line doesnt have a shampoo the have the no poo thing...

My first though was I need need need it.... especially after watching the youtube videos on the line and seeing the results!!

BUT this line is nowhere to get in Germany. I looked it up on ebay, I was gonna order the trevelsize kit to try it out. The kit costst 19.99$ the shipping costs about 30$. Now that is crazy.... so I had to think of something else.... because I am not ready to pay for shipping more than the actual product costs!!!!

Sooo I started a research on Sulfatefree Shampoos that are available in Germany. I've found out that brands like Aveda, SexyHair, Phyto and Tigi run lines with sulfatefree shampoos. So now I just have to deside which one to get.

Besides the shampoo I also did a research on which conditioners to get, I am thinking about the Joico Deep Penetraiting one, I've heared lots of good things about it!!!

The next thing that I need need need is Redken's Ringlet, from all the things that I heared about it, it sounds like exactly what I need, to make my locks difined and less frizzy.

To prevent my ends from splitting and breaking I want Redken AntiSnap.

So what I'm still researching is a good leave in conditioner to use before the Ringlet.



Soooo....

The routine that I want to try is:

- Washing hair with sulfatefree shampoo

- Conditioning my hair

- Put Leave in Condi into wet hair

- Toweldry it with tshirt (to prevent frizz)

- Put Ringlet into the hair and scrunch

- Then just let airdry or dry with difuser (wich I also need to buy)





don't know when I'm going to start the routine though because I'm on shopping ban for the rest of the month... aaand I want to go for a hairtrim first sooo need to make an apointment and need to buy everything on the internet because its really hard to fined these brands in shops here in Germany.. soo yeah

really long post

I'm going to report on how it works out probably the end of april

Love Sigma but have some complaints

Well first of all i have to say that I really do love Sigma brushes. I own the complete set and the kabuki brush, they all work really nice.
So couple days ago i was going to use liquid foundation with the ss187 and guess what the brush hold started to get loose, and the thing is I haven't been using this brush a lot and I also did wash it righ, I always do it really carefully so that the water doesn't come in to the area... but well
thank God I could still fix it i took some glue from my dad put it on the area where it started getting loose, after 24 hours drying it was almost perfekt again, u just can see a bit of glue on the brushhold.... so I'm kind of disappointed now...


One more thing why I want to complain a bit about Sigma are the new brushes.
The thing is I would like to have some of the brushes from the new set but not all of them, but they don't sell them seperatly!! sooo I'm really sad.... I wish they will sell them seperatly in the future!!!

because I still do love their brushes

New Love


Dior's Hypnotic Poison has been my favourite perfum for ever
Now I found a new LOVE
Armani Diamonds... I got it in intense because i like my perfum to smel all day long and it pretty much does.. The scent is sooo amazing

An audacious and sexy fusion of scents that reflect the strong, modern woman. Featuring the freshness of raspberry and lychee, and invigorated with the pure femininity of rose and the sensual rhythm of patchouli and amber. A unique indulgence for your senses.

the famous metro chic sephora opi nail polish, everyone raves about it, so I just decided to get on this trend because I really like the colour, it was expensive i bought it on ebay and payed about 13 € with shipping... so yeah





my first eye cream: Kiehl's creamy avocado eye treatment... also really expensive, in germany it costs about 40 €... well i think its still worth it, it does do great things to my undereye area soo... love!




Labello clasic care lipbalm... saved my chap lips during the wintertime





Nars Laguna there is really no need to talk about it ... its just the best bronzer ever... looks very very natural






Sigma Indian Girl eyeshadow it remineds me of sienna pigment and smoke and diamonds eyeshadow, i don't have either of them... but i totally love this one, i got it as a gift with my sigma kabuki... and i fell in love with it rightaway!!




I love to pair it with a champaigny beigy colours like the one from the loreal color appeal trio for grey eyes and its the middle colour (one of my alltime favs)




The blush by artdeco in 44 is very similar to nars torrid it warms up my skin i don't even need to wear a bronzer with it.... its gorgeous




I've been wearing this maybilline lipstick in 140 a whole lot since i bought it its a very nice yellow baced pink, wich is much easier to wear then say a blue based pinks... at least on me.... an i love love love it




My fav concealer is the one by clinique: continuous coverage, actually it is a foundation which is supposed to cover up things like tattoos and stuff... but i use it on blemishes and on my undereyecircles, there is 30 ml in the bottle so it will last you forever
