Hair like an advertisement

Hello gorgeous! I had a chance  to take some photos of my hair under a microscope and here is a result!

This is my hair 400 times magnified

and this is the same hair magnified 1000 times. If was very interesting for me to see hair scales.

I have quite fine hair, but as you can see, the hair look really healthy and have a good texture (like in ads). And I do use hair dryer every day and my hair are color treated. 

I just wanted to say that you need to think before buying some new expensive (or not so expensive) hair product. Do you really need it? Because hair overloaded with products and over-treated with vitamins, serums etc. will become dull and will look unhealthy.

Avene Soothing Eye Contour Cream review

Hello gorgeous! Today I gonna review Avene eye cream. I purchased it from www.echemist.co.uk for 8.55 British pounds (~ 15$) for 10 ml. (By the way they offer free worldwide delivery).

From manufacturer: This Soothing Eye Contour Cream has been specially formulated to gently protect the most delicate part of the face. Rich in Avène Thermal Spring Water and soothing alpha-bisabolol, this light emulsion calms skin irritation, tightness and redness. Dextran sulfate also acts by relieving hypersensitive eyelids. Thanks to its formula enriched with moisturising and anti-free radical actives, this soothing care promotes hydration and protection of the eye contour area and eyelids. 

Me: when I got it I was a little bit disappointed because of  mineral oil in ingredient list (I try to avoid mineral oil in my skincare).

But I decided to give it a chance. And it was worth it :) First of all the cream feels very pampering for the skin. It absorbs very fast and do not leave greasy feeling. It soothes delicate skin around the eyes immediately. When my lips feel extra dry, I use the cream also on the lips. The cream completely vanished fine lines around my eyes. So I totally in love with it! It is also fragrance free and paraben free. The only downside is that it does not fights dark under eye circles. But if you are looking for good eye contour moisturizer - this is the best eye cream I`ve ever tried!

Purederm - Nose Pore Strips review and comparison to Beauty Formulas strips

Hello gorgeous! I`ve tested new (for me) nose pore strips and  today I won`t show you nasty images :) I purchased them in local supermarket PRISMA for 1.55 Ls (~3 $). The pack contains 6 nose strips and it is written that the product is paraben free.

The shape is a bit different from Beauty formulas nose pore strips (and I better prefer Purederm`s shape.

 To compare: Beauty formulas:

In comparison to Beauty Beauty formulas Purederm strips are easier to remove. Thus they do not pull out tiny hair  from your skin (meaning the procedure is less painful). The effect of blackhead removing is similar. BUT! I just can`t stand the smell of aloe(?) in Purederm. It is just so terrible to my nose :( That is the only reason I won`t buy them again. So if this smell is fine for you, I would recommend you to choose Purederm product.

Nails if the day - Sincero "Lets Dance"

Hello gorgeous! I am impressed by nail polishes I found in local MAXIMA supermarket! They are super cheap :)  They cost 1.59 Ls (~3 $) each. I`ve never heard about this brand before. But these (at least these two) nail polishes are worth your attention :) I purchased colors D5 and D2. Both are just clear nail polishes with lot of glitters. D5 consists of light blue (mostly), pink, green and yellow quite big glitters. D2 is mostly purple small glitters with holographic rods.

And here you can see D5 applied over NIVEA Turbo colour No 12 - Turbo Red nail polish.

Ann Loraine Enzymatic Peeling Mask review

Hello gorgeous! Today I gonna share my thoughts of Anna Loraine facial peeling mask. I have mixed skin type with some dry patches on my nose, some enlarged pores, and some oily areas like forehead and chin. I need to exfoliate my skin because otherwise I get blachkeads and spots on T-zone and also foundation tend to emphasize dry areas. I hate to use scrubs because they seem to damage the skin and lead to redness. So I found better alternative to scrubs! There are lot of peeling masks on the market. The idea is that the mask dissolves dead skin cells without damaging healthy skin. Also the skin texture get improved.
Ann Loraine is Israeli brand. You can read some information about it here: http://www.b4you.co.il/products-al.asp

I purchased this mask from OniksBeta shop for 6,67 Ls ~ 13 $ It is available from ebay also. You need to apply the mask on clean skin and rinse off after 2-3 min. This is very quick! So you can use the mask even in the morning.

The mask is very creamy. It contains some very tiny grains but is not abrasive and I did not feel any tingling or other discomfort. Afterwards my skin my skin is very soft and smooth and feels fresh and clean. I think this is a good (and cheaper) alternative to my favorite Dermalogica - gentle cream exfoliant.

Beauty Formulas - Deep Cleansing Nose Pore Strip review

Hello gorgeous! Today I gonna show you some nasty images and review nose and face pore strips :) So I bought them in Drogas (local drugstore) and I don`t really remember the price, but I found these at ebay for ~ 6 $.

Each pack holds 6 strips (6 nose strips or 3 + 3 forehead and chin strips).

To use them you need to wash your face with oil free facial wash (directions for use says to use soap). Then wet the area you want to treat. Apply the strip and allow it to dry for 10-15 min. Then peel off. And here you can see the results (sorry for nasty images) :

As you can see nose strip really did the job. After the first usage there were a lot of blackheads on the strip, but my nose was not completely free of them. After second usage (a week later) my nose is completely free of nasty blackheads :)
Do you use any stuff like this?
