New hair color: L`Oreal Radiant Golden Brown

Hello there, dear visitor!
So today I changed my hair color!
When it comes to my hair I do everything by myself (cut, color, style), so probably that`s why it looks, well... not so great XD, but hey! At least it`s cheap (so I can experiment more) and ...it will grow out! ;D I`m totally not stressed by my hair situation, ;) Maybe even too laid back. ;))

Anyway, I wasn`t happy about my washed out blonde hair with pink ends, so I decided to go darker. And today at ROSSMAN I picked up this hair color: L`OREAL sublime mousse in Radiant Golden Brown (nr 53). It`s a foam hair dye and honestly it`s the only type I use recently. It`s just so simple to use and colors just as great as any other permanent dye, so I won`t go back to regular hair dye. :D I recommend this type of permanent hair color to everyone! And I tried out other brands too, but L`OREAL keeps the color the longest on my hair. :)

Onto the photos!

Before: washed out blonde with washed out pink tips... meh, was gettin bored of this and felt that shade of blonde looked "fake" on me, but in a bad way. :/


So I used L`OREAL sublime mousse in Radiant Golden Brown (super easy to use) after eating lunch, while I was watching Thor (to prepare my heart for the hotness that is AVENGERS! XD). It takes 30 minutes and a cat could do it. ;) On the right you can see the result with flash! (My hair is messy, because I just finished blow drying them). Happy about the result! 
Also: Of course I couldn`t let such a nice change to put on fake lashes if only for 15 minutes go. XD

And a more natural face and a photo without flash!

So that is all for today! I`m really happy about this hair color change. :)

Also, PLEASE FOLLOW MY HEALTH/FITNESS TUMBLR: http://healthy-maguda.tumblr.com/ I`m doing yoga and a little strenght excercise with 2kg handles and eating healthy to feel better and be more healthy and stronger, so I started this fitblr. If you want to exchange tips and whatnot, please follow. ^^* So far I lost 7kg! :DD
Thank You for reading! ^^*

fake lashes review: Diamond Lash Beauty Eye (*゚∇^*)v

They are here!! \(#⌒_⌒#)/

First of all, I want to praise the eBay store I got the lashes from: Meilleurbeauty! Not only do they have reasonable prices, the lashes arrived very fast in good, safe packaging! I will definitely go back to their store for more. \(#⌒_⌒#)/ On to the review! 



I just got them from the post man and glued them to my face right away (*゚∇^*)v I was just so happy to see them - they are exactly what I hoped they would be! \(#⌒_⌒#)/ They really remind me of Diamond Lash Girly Eye, but with the separated hair. Beauty Eye feel much lighter and more natural, but they are still really long and have quite a lot of volume. (I never wore Girly eye to be honest, totally not my type of lashes... Maybe better for pin-up style? If you want them, let me know. (*'▽^)ъ)

Separate strands of lashes = more "airy", lighter look.

One lash on, you can see they are loooong and OMG GREAT! XD But thanks to the separate lashes they don`t look too heavy and "drag queen". (Even though I love drag queens!! (*゚∇^*)vBut I don`t necessarily want to do that look daily XD)

I glued them on as they are, no cutting. They fit my eye great, I glued them close to my inner eye corner on purpose, the outer lashes are very long and I knew they would reach far beyond my outer eye corner anyway. I still got a great eye lengthening and droopy-eye effect. ぴーす♪ (#^ー°)v

They are quite long, but not overly dramatic, if you wear them with light makeup they will be okay for daily wear IMO, if you are into this kind of look. ぴーす♪ (#^ー°)v  Maybe not good for serious business women, but otherwise I think they are even OK for work, especially if you cut off the last, longest strand of lashes! :D With heavier makeup they would also look amazing for party looks and so on... ぴーす♪ (#^ー°)v

 

And my whole face! (My hair is a MESS, but I don`t know what to do with it?)
I am really glad I finally got those lashes. They are perfect! My favorite Diamond Lash lashes are: Celeb, Gorgeous & Beauty! You can see more of my lashes reviews here! I`d rate those:
Lenght:  ★★★★★
Volume: ★★★★☆
Dramatic: ★★★☆☆
Natural: ★★☆☆☆
Price/use: ~17USD for 5 reusable pairs = good!
満足感/am I happy about them? ★★★★★ Totally!! Instantly going into my top 3 fake lashes! (*゚∇^*)v

Let`s get into fake lashes again!

Hello hello! ヾ( ' - '*)オハヨ♪
I am happy to see you are not bored by my rare upadetes and off topic posts, thank You!!

Recently I did some little online shopping and got those things:
  

All this stuff is from eBay, super cheap and well we`ll see what the quality is like.... (´∵`)? No high expectations really, but I hope it`s cute IRL! The lace pattern tights are soooo cute though! I wonder if I`m not too old to wear them, but I`ll try! 

But the thing most fitting this blog are the Diamond Lash Beauty Eye fake lashes!! :DD Those have been on my wishlist for soooo long it`s crazy! And I finally got them! I accidentaly found an eBay seller who sells them for around 16$ a box, which is very reasonable compared to some other online stores.
I want to get into wearing fake lashes more again, because of all the health problems and changes last year I practically stopped doing makeup, especially extra stuff, like fake lashes, curling hair and so on. But nor that I`m back on track, I want to enjoy those things again! So I got new lashes and I`ll post a review and use them a lot! :D Actually, I`ll put on fake lashes today! I`m going shopping with mom, want to get a pair of jeans from ZARA.


Oh, I`m really excited for those lashes! I hope they arrive soon and then I`ll get the other style I have on my wishlist: Baby eye lower lashes! :D Today I`ll be wearing Celeb Diamond Lash though. 

This is a bad mobile phone camera quality of me today, wearing Diamond Lash Celeb fake lashes with light makeup. They seem very dramatic, but can be worn with any look, surprisingly! Celeb and Gorgeous are my favorite Diamond Lashes, get them if you like long and wispy-volumey type lashes. :D
Ok, bye~~ \(^_^*)

long time no see: daily life update

Hello everyone!
I got into a blogging slump, sorry for that. But honestly I didn`t really buy a lot of new cosmetics and haven`t been very adventurous with my makeup neither. Recently I`m just working my job (which I really enjoy), feeling good, eating healthy and doing yoga! And that`s all.
I commited to eat more healthy (not go on a diet, just change my bad habits into better ones) and do just a little bit of any sport and I lost 6kg in 1,5 month! :DDD

new books
but I mostly use videos from here: doyogawithme.com 

I dyed half of my hair pink! (myself!)

and started buying spring clothes! 

I will try to post more often, but I want to keep this a beauty blog, so I don`t really want to post about my simple life. ;) What have you been upto? What kind of spring fashion trends are you most into? :DD
Take care!

Winter skin care favorites!

Hello!
I wonder how everyone takes care of skin in winter - it can be so rough on our delicate skin (T_T). Here in Poland we have temperature from -5C to -25C degrees... Serious freezer situation. D:

I guard my skin from all this winter by using a couple creams every day.
Below are some of my favorites!


WELEDA Skin Food cream
Oh, how I love it!! It is full of natural oils and smells like citrus fruit (mostly grapefruit/lemon to me) and it`s just like a soft warm blanket for skin! I like to apply a lot at night and just go to sleep like that - I wake up with soft, moisturized skin! (*___*) I love it! In summer I would never do that, but now I also use it in daytime, under makeup - just a thin layer and not on my forehead, because I think it would make my fringe oily. It works great. :)
You can also use it on you whole body, especially dry spots like knees, elbow, feet.

Vitacreme B12
It`s a great light cream that feels like it`s treating my skin and curing it. Blemishes, dry skin, acne marks - it helps to remove them faster and also moisturizes. It`s light and has a pleasant rose smell. (^_^*) You can also use it on cold burned/sun burned skin, on your elbows, etc. I already wrote about it HERE!

BABA DE CARACOL snail cream
Well, I dunno, the fad, the snail cream. Actually I`m not even sure there is snail secretion in this one (??), but anyway it hydrates quite well but has shady ingriedients (lots of parabens and mineral oil). I`m not crazy about it, but I`ll use it all anyway. It creates a sort of a veil on my skin, absorbs quickly and it great for layering with other creams I mention here. :D Actually I also have night version of this one too and I like it too. I won`t repurchase though. I found a way better snail extract cream with actual snail extract in it (Velvetin) and I can buy it in the natural products pharmacy right around the corner. (^_^)

IWOSTIN Hydratia Eye cream
From a Polish brand like La Roche-Posay or Avene - we also have natural springs with wonderful healthy water here in Poland, and Iwostin uses it to make really good cosmetics! (http://www.iwostin.pl/) Recently they added hydrating eye cream to their skin care line so I went and got it! I was using Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Recovery Complex, but I`ve run out and it`s kinda pricy, so I decided why not try the 5 times cheaper but still great Iwostin eye cream? ;D I like it and feel it works well. 

OXY5 and OXY10 (benzoyl peroxide acne treatment)
I decide to try it after seeing Gossmakeupartist`s acne treatment advice video! (^0^*) It dries out skin soooooo bad! XD But it really works on acne! I only apply it at night, only on my trouble areas (jaw, hairline, etc), at first I used OXY5 because the stronger one cause irritation, but now I got used to it and I can use both. It does nothing after one use, but after using it regularly I see a big difference! If you have trouble with acne why not try this? I will repurchase and continue using it. :)

What is your winter skincare?? Share your beauty secrets with me, ok?
Kisses! :D
