My morning skin care routine

/ fashionanitastar / 10 Comments

Hello everyone, welcome come back

Today I’m writing about my current skin care routine. Neutrogena have been always my favourite brand for skin care products. First I use pink grapefruit facial wash, I’m obsessed with this product, washing my face with this product makes my skin fresh and radiant, Neutrogena visibly clear pink grapefruit facial wash gently cleanses, purifies and invigorates for a fresh and radiant complexion.  I like also to use Hydro boost cleanser milk, this product boosts hydration, removes makeup and leaves skin hydrated, I like to use this product in the morning but also in evening. For moisturiser I use Avon true nutraeffects this is a active moisture day cream that I’m using for long time, this cream suits my skin perfectly, I tried so many different creams in the past and I found this one the best for my skin, I like to use in the morning before apply my makeup and it’s perfect…

Have a great weekend 😉❤️

My Hair care routine

/ fashionanitastar / 5 Comments

Maintaining good hair is hard. I completely think that the quality of your hair depends on your health and diet, but also with the products we use. Just like skin the hair also has a type. I have a thick wavy hair and with a lot of volume.

Currently I’m using Shampoo,conditioner & Masque from Pantene. I have finally found a routine that I am completely happy with.

I wash my hair with Pantene colour protect because It Adds a protective layer to help seal hair for healthy looking radiance, and protect hair against styling damaged … I also like to use 2x per week repair and protect Mask, This makes my hair looking soft and healthy.

Normaly when I leave my hair dry naturally, I apply Avon advance techniques oil, this is a serum with moroccan Argan oil… and if my waves are very rebel, I apply also a bit of mousse just to define.

But sometimes I like to straight my hair, so I use L’Oreal Stylista The Sleek Serum This serum is tailored for use with hair straightening irons and helps protect hair from heat damage up to 230*C.

That’s all for today.   If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments below!

Hi everyone, welcome back

These five beauty hacks can help cut down your daily beauty routine while still looking your best.

1 – Don’t have time for a full eye shadow routine? Use your bronzer as eye shadow, defining your crease and gently patting it over your eyelids.

2 – To make the eyes seem brighter, use a white eyeliner to line your waterline.

3 –  Use red or orange lipstick to conceal dark circles; Apply the lipstick using a brush under your eye area, then reach for your concealer as normal and apply over the top, blending in with a sponge or your fingers.

4 – Moisturize your lips with a vaseline, this juices up your lips. Next use lip liner and for the final step apply the lipstick… this make the lips looks bigger and healthy …

5 – Dry shampoo leaves hair looking and feeling refreshed without washing. It Absorbs excess oil from the hair, and leaves them looking beautiful and healthy.

Often I change up my everyday make up routine depending on my skin. Currently though I’ve listed the products below I have using everyday for the last weeks….

First things first I apply primer Maybelline super stay  on my face, this primer is great, gives a fresh makeup look all day.

Then I like to apply Maybelline fit me concealer with Real techniques beauty blender …

Next is my favourite part! contour! bronzer! , I’m in love with the Makeup Revolution Pro HD Powder Contour this contains 8 contour and highlight powders. This pallet is pretty easy to work with … I can do contour, bronzer and highlight, It’s fab….

I also use for highlight the Bronzer bronzing brick, this gives a beautiful glossy finish.

For Setting Powder I use the Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder to set my foundation in place. I usually concentrate mostly on my T-zone where I am more likely to get more shine throughout the day.

Then for eyes I use Stila eyeshadow palette I have to say I use this pallet for long long time, and I really like it …

For mascara I received a sample of the Benefit Badgal Bang volumising mascara  and I really like it. It not only makes my lashes look thick, it gives a great amount of length and volume.

Fall beauty routine

/ fashionanitastar / 14 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back

As you begin updating your wardrobe for fall, don’t forget about your beauty routine! When the temperatures start to cool down, there a certain changes I make to my skincare and makeup.

Image result for fall photos

Whether it’s Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter; our skin needs special attention.

In Autumn the air starts becoming dryer and cooler.

Moisturize, protect and prepare the skin is very important for me….

As the air becomes drier, your skin needs a thicker moisturizer. Creams provide a stronger oily barrier, which means they both reduce water loss from the outer layer of skin and provide hydration. Applying moisturizer on your face and body is very important. On my face, I apply in the morning and evening, and on my body I like to apply after shower or bath.

Makeup

For eyeshadow, I like to swap out some of corals and pinks for some deep reds, burgundy, orange and brown shade.

Lips

Hydrating my lips is a must for me not only on fall but all year.

Trade your bright pink lipsticks for nude, berry, or red tones, add a bold lip colour to your daily makeup look. I like to use deep red or even brown lipsticks. I’m loving, brown lip colours for fall.

Hope you enjoyed reading and have a great week 🙂

Skincare Routine

/ fashionanitastar / 14 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back

One of the best keys to beautiful skin is a cleansing routine that is gentle, thorough and relaxing.

  1. Apply the cleanser with your fingertips, beginning at the center of your face and working upwards and outwards. Massage the cleanser in with your fingertips to soften any congested areas in the skin. this relaxes the pores for further treatment and helps boost circulation. Rise off excess cleanser.
  2. Soak cotton -wool pads in cool water, and then douse them in eye makeup remover. Lay one over each eye, wait for a few seconds, then rub a pads with your fingertips to loosen the eye makeup. Vigorous rubbing or pulling of the delicate skin around the eyes will eventually cause the skin to loose elasticity and sag. Remove and gently wipe under the eyes to remove the facial traces of makeup.
  3. Using cotton -wool pads soaked in warm water and alcohol – free toner, sweep the rest of the face to remove the cleanser. Gently splash with cool water to stimulate the skin before applying mask.
  4. Apply the face mask, Taking care to avoid the eye and lip areas. Don’t forget your neck which must be included in each and every step of the cleansing routine.
  5. Remove the mask gently with the wet face cloth. Using clean cotton- wool pads soaked in warm water to remove any remaining traces. Splash face and finish off with your moisturizer.

The basics 

Cleansers; Makeup removers;  Moisturizers 

Beyond the Basis 

Masks; Exfoliators; Eye creams; Serums 

 

As you know, there is no good makeup without good skin. Makeup should enhance your natural beauty, not mask it. Taking responsibility for your skin, means getting into a proper regime and looking after it correctly each and every day.

Hope you enjoy reading

Thanks 😉

B. Hydrated Hyaluronic Acid Facial Spritz

/ fashionanitastar / 7 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back

Hyaluronic Acid Facial Spriz rapidly replenish the skin and lock in moisture for 12 hours without clogging the pores. Is ideal for use when travelling or to revive tired skin.

I am a huge fan of facial water sprays that help cool you down when it’s hot and don’t make a mess of your make up ….

I found that adding this to my skincare routine, helped my skin stay moisturized throughout the day, as it can be used alone or on top of your makeup as a top up and it leaves the skin looking dewy and moisturized throughout the day. I’ve been using Hyaluronic Acid Facial Spritz for 3 weeks and I’m really happy with the results….

The size of the bottle is perfect for popping into your handbag when you’re on-the-go and the pump-action spray doesn’t dispense too much product with each spritz.

Hyaluronic Acid Facial Spritz is for all skin types ….

This product is amazing! I definitely recommend it. 

Thanks 😉
