Macadamia Nourishing Leave-In Cream

Well hello,

you might have noticed I don´t write a lot about hair products here on my blog. That is because when I find something that works for my hair, I tend to stick to it. But every once in a while I go all bold and  try something new. Sometimes it is all worth it and this would be one of those times. I guess I should do that more often.

To be honest, this time the question wasn´t really if it works, more so if it works good enough to be worth the splurge. I tried quite a few Macadamia Natural Oil products before, some of them are my holy grail products. And I just had to try some more. I picked up Nourishing Leave-In cream and believe it or not it almost replaced my Deep Repair Masque. A part of the reason for that is my lack of time/laziness recently but also it works just about the same. Only it is so much easier and faster to use, also quite a bit cheaper.

Lately I have been using my drugstore conditioner (I have quite a few favourites, if you want me to write a post about them let me know in the comments) and on a towel dried hair just a little bit of Macadamia Leave-In Cream. Very little amount is enough, it absorbs like heaven and it leaves the hair silky and smooth, for days. I was amazed with the result. Even if you use to much it doesn´t show at all. My hair appears healthy and smooth and it looks like I straighten my hair, without the damage of actually using the flat iron. It really is impressive product. It has that really nice Macadamia product smell it almost reminds me of a bubble gum. I just can´t get enough.

Have you tried this amazing Leave-in cream? Do you prefer Deep repair masque? Let  me know.

Love,

Best of 2013 - Lips, nails, hair

Well hello,

this is the last category, containing nail, lip and hair products. Let´s get into it, shall we?

I thought choosing my favourite lipstick is going to be a lot harder that is actually was. Ever since I tried it for the first time Mac´s Kinda Sexy stood out from everything else that I own... The buttery finish, great pigmentation, staying power, this one had it all. It is matte finish but not drying at all. Its considered to be a neutral shade, but on my light skin it looks brownish red. It probably doesn´t sound very attractive, but on the lips and my complexion it looks quite beautiful.

Next lip product is waterproof lip liner from the brand Art Deco. The vibrant fuchsia color in number 91 was one of my favourite shades last fall. And It is so long lasting. This is one of those lip products you put on once and can dance the night away, drinking, having fun without worrying about your lipstick smudging all over your face. Definitely one of the greatest lip products I have tried so far.

You already know I own a lot of nail polish, so I really tried to restrain myself from buying a lot of nail polish last year. And I quite succeeded. One of the few I did purchase is Essence nail polish called Gold Digger. This shade was on my nails all through  December. A perfect combination of elegant, festive and subtle. And I got a lot of compliments on it.

I already talked about my love for this next product. My new  favourite make-up remover from Loreal. Their Skin Perfection removes the makeup and also benefits the skin. And doesn´t irritate the eyes, so it is  perfect for all the sensitive eyes out there, ha ha.

I don´t talk about hair products a lot, because when I find something that works I tend to stick to it. Macadamia deep repair masque really made a difference in my hair. My hair has never been so smooth, silky and healthy looking before. True, it is not cheap at all, but worth the money. A little goes a long way. This little guy will last you for a while.

 I  hope you enjoyed my 2013 favourite posts and found them useful. If you need any more information don´t hesitate to ask. Tell me, what are your fave products from 2013?

Love,

Current beauty favourites

Hello beautiful!

I don´t have that many beauty favourites, because I get bored very easily and I just want to try new products. Especially now, when drugstore brands are coming out with amazing new products and collections that are very affordable. So it certainly doesn´t hurt to try. Still I do have few items, that I keep coming back to.
So I want to share a few of my current beauty obsessions. Products, that I reach for on a daily basis. Hope you enjoy and share your thoughts!

When it comes to eye products I fell in love with pen eyeliner. Basically liquid liner in a pen form. I did try a few of drugstore ones, but the only one I like is the one from Bourjois called Liner Feutre. It is easy for application and it stays smudge free all day long. I will leave the details and comparisons for another blog post.  

In the spirit of spring trend I have been using green eyeliner from Makeup factory in my waterline as a pop of color. The color is deep bluish green and it is called Petrol blue. It brightens up my eyes and brings some color to my face.

I am sure I already mentioned that I love a coral shade for lips. So Bourjois Peche Cosy (03) is definitely my fave lipstick at the moment. I did a review on it, so I won´t waste any more words on it. You can read it here.

You already know I love trying out nail polishes. And I have been doing that a lot. Different combinations, patterns,... but my absolutely fave is a combination of light lilac and light beige/coral. I tried combining these two colors in stripes, polka dots, you name it. It works every time. Both nail polishes are from Essence from multi dimension in colors Makes me weak (coral) and Found my love (lilac). Even the names are adorable.

The last favourite is a hair product. It is Macadamia Deep Repair Mask. The difference this product makes on my hair is just unbelievable. If you want healthy, shiny and soft hair, this is perfect for you.It is a bit more expensive, but worth every penny.

 Love,

Macadamia: review (+my hair story)

Hello!

When i was little i had long, thick, strong hair. I always got a lot of compliments and i thought of my hair as my best feature. As years went by i got very bored with my straight, long, brown hair (ahhh, doesn´t this just sound boring?) so i decided to make a change. This was around the time, when ombre hair was becoming trendy. I loved how it looked on other people, so after long consideration i went for it.

Even though i don´t regret making that decision, after a while because of the bleach, curling and straightening, my hair lost all the strength, the ends were dry and damaged and it was impossible to style it. All the products that i used to fix it, seemed to make things even worse and i was really desperate. Then i browsed around YouTube and stumbled upon Macadamia Deep Repair Masque reviews. Everyone raved about it, but i still had my doubts.

Because it seemed like there was no other solution, in December of last year i decided to purchase promotional pack, that included Deep Repair Masque(100ml), Healing Oil Treatment(30ml) and Shampoo(100ml).

Since my hair was really damaged i didn´t really notice a difference at first, but after a few treatments my hair improved, it became a lot more manageable, it looked shiny again and healthy. The mask smells amazing(actually all of these products do), it is in a thicker form, it makes you hair soft, shiny, detangled and it leaves them smelling so good. The oil moisture's the ends, it reduces split ends and even though it is an oil, it does not leave your hair looking oily. I was and still am very pleased with this products.

In the beginning i used Deep Repair Masque every time i washed my hair, which is around 2-3 times a week, on the days that i didn´t wash my hair i used the Oil Treatment on my ends. Now that my hair has improved i use the mask once every 2 weeks, because i don´t want my hair to get used to it to much. It is recommended to use it 1-2 a week. And i use the Oil Treatment on my ends, when i think they look dull, dry, ... so about 1-2 a week. To be honest i don´t really use the shampoo. It is OK and all, but i think that every drugstore shampoo does the same job cleaning your hair, for a lot less money.

In conclusion i really recommend these products. Yes, they are quite pricey, but last a long time and really make a difference. And they also don´t test on animals, which is definitely a plus in my book.


Grade: 5/5 hearts
