December Favorites

Welcome back lovelies :)

- December Favorites 2014 -

Today I'll be showing you what I've been loving in the month of December. 

There is not much, since I spent almost two weeks in bed being a bit poorly, but that's ok cause now I'm feeling pretty well again. 

So without further of due, here are my favorites.

HAIR: 

- Balea Hair Milk - 

I've been loving this not only this month, but I can pretty much say for almost two years not, it has really become a must have in my hair routine.
I do not only use it when I've washed my hair, but also on non wash days, because it gives great texture to dry hair, not to mention the lovely smell.

I highly recommend it !

- Hair Favorites: Balea Milk, Balea Dry Shampoo -

- Balea Dry Shampoo - 

I can go on and on with the Balea brand, belive it or not for a cheap drugstore brand, some products are pretty impresive, and another one for me this month, or should I say even more for my extremly greasy hair, has been this Balea Dry shampoo. It really gives my roots a lot of volume and it stays volumenous through the whole day.
I'm really really impressed with it.

MAKEUP: 

- Essence Stay all day concealer -

If any of you have used this concealer you'll know what I'm talking about, It has the perfect amount of coverage and it conceals my blemishes and my under eye circles. I love it.

- Maybelline Colorama Blush 501 - 

This plum blusher from Maybelline has captured my heart since I swatched it in my local drugstore, It's lovely for the fall and winter season. And this month it did a great job of creating a healthy glow on my cheeks.

- DVT lipstick, Essence concealer, Essence lipgloss, Colorama Blush -

- Dita von Teese LE for Artdeco -

Since it was December and I felt all captured by the holidays, I opted for this amazing red lipstick. I won't explain too much, because the photo will say it all. 

- Essence Circus LE in 01 Applause, applause -

Since some days I wanted an extra sparkle on my lips I combined the DVT lipstick with this res lip gloss from Essence. It's indeed a liquid lipstick, but nevertheless it looks lovely over the DVT lipstick.

- Maybelline Colossal Volume mascara -

I've been a fan of Maybelline mascaras, since I can remember, I think the first mascara I ever purchased was the classic volume express one from this brand. Since than I've tried almost every mascara from their line.
This one makes my lashes really pretty and non-fake, I'm not a huge fan of spidery lashes, so this one did the perfect job, since my lashes still look pretty natural.

- Maybelline Collossal mascara, Kiss Ridge filler -

- Kiss mineral smoothie Ridge Filler -
This base coat was recommended by one of my best friends. I think I purchased it in April and I'm still loving it. It has made a difference in my nails. Especially after I remove a gliterry nailpolish it doesn't scratch my nails as it used to.


RANDOM:

- Yankee Candle: Candy Cane Lane -

- Yankee Candle: Candy Cane Lane -
Who can survive holiday season without some christmas scented candles. I know I couldn't. I stacked up on these especially. I love Candy Canes so this was the perfect scent, since I tend to grab a lot of sweet scents when I like to feel all cozy, It's always either a cookie scent or something cinamonny.


Well that is it for my December Favorites. I really can't belive that it is already January 2015. It amazes me how time flies by.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day,

Balea Hair Mask

Hello lovelies :)

Today I am reviewing Balea's Hair Mask.

About two months ago I was washing my hair and I noticed that my hair felt a little dry when I would rinse out the shampoo. 

The next day I went on a hunt for a hair mask. After browsing through Dm's hair section for a while, I finally decided to get the Balea one just because it caught my eye and also it attracted me with its promises. 

Product's Information: 

- Balea hair mask with peach and silk

- 200 ml

- For dry and damaged hair without shine

- The caring formula with peach and silk extract helps detangle your hair, while vitamins B3 and B5 help to nourish them. 

- It is a specially soft formula without silicone 

How to use it: 

Distribute the mask evenly on towel dry hair. Keep it in for 2-3 minutes and rinse it of after.

Ingredients: 

How I use it: 

I like to first wash and clean my hair twice using a soft cleansing shampoo. I usually use a anti-dandruff one or something that adds volume. After that I put about two little scoops of the mask beginning first with the roots and massaging it in and after that gliding it onto the rest of my hair and also on the ends. 

Next I leave it a little more than 2 minutes, I leave it about 5-6 minutes. After that I do one more little massage to my roots and I rinse it out. 

Final thoughts and my experience with it :

I could not be more satisfied with this product. It does a great job on my hair.

It moisturizes my hair to a point that it feels nice on the touch and not dry at all. It feels very smooth after I rinse it off, certainly it gives a silky texture to my hair.  

And on top of everything it smells delicious, just like a garden in my hair. I love the smell of peaches and the shine that I get after I blow dry my hair.

I have also noticed that since I've been using it, my hair doesn't fall off as much as it did before.

I have only good things to say about the product that is why I give it a full 10 and I recommend it to all of you that don't want to spend too much on a hair mask, but you still want some moisture into your hair. 

Thank you for reading this post. Please leave me a comment below of what you think and tell me about your experience with hair masks :)
I always enjoy reading all the comments!
Have a nice day,

Would you rather TAG !

It's been a long week for me so I wanted to do more relaxing blogs this week and for today's blog I chose the Would you rather TAG !

1.) Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lipglosses or lose all of your palettes and eyeshadows?
I would rather lose all my palettes and eyeshadows because I can always use different colored eyeliners to replace eyeshadow, whereas I could never replace mascara with eyeshadows.

2.) Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?

I love Rapunzel's hair and I would be thrilled to let my hair grow without cutting it and be able to have a different look everyday so that could be fun.

3.) Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?

Coral cheek and I can't really explain my strange obsession with coral but I love how it brightens up my complexion.

4.) If you had $1000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup?

No doubt about it - makeup. 

5.) Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner, or eyeliner as lipstick?

This one is tricky, I really had to think about it and I think that I would rather apply eyeliner as lipstick, because if I apply lipstick as eyeliner it would run and get messy.

6.) Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?

I'm not from the Usa but I think I'll go with Sephora because it has a lot of different brands to choose from.

7.) Would you rather only use one eyeshadow color or one lip color for the rest of your life?

One lip color. I think that you can play a lot more with eyeshadow to achieve different looks than if you have only one eyeshadow. At least for me and my features that's how it is.

8.) Would you rather wear winter clothes in summer or summer clothes in winter?

Summer clothes in winter for sure, because you can layer them to be warm, where as if you have winter clothes in summer it's going to get very hot and unpleasant.

9.) Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round?

I am really in a dillema about this one but after thinking about it I would rather go with brights, because they make you happy and all the looks can be fun and bright all year long.

10.) Would you rather give up your favorite lip product or your favorite eye product?

I would give up my favorite lip product, because again mascara is my favorite eye product and I can not live without it, it makes too much of a difference to any look you want to pull off. 

11.) Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a ponytail or a messy bun?

I'm going with a messy bun here, because i love how effortless it looks and you can glam it down or glam it up. And it is a little bit better and looser than a ponytail which is a plus for me. I don't know if you have noticed it, but when I wear my hair in a nice ponytail for a whole day at the end of the day I feel that my head hurts a little from tugging my hair. So because of that feeling I am choosing the messy bun.

12.) Would your rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lipgloss?

Well this was kind off easy because lately I haven't been using a lot of lipgloss and i've been getting myself more into lipsticks. So my answer is: I would rather never use lipsgloss.

13.) Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all or sharpie them in everyday?

I took the most time to answer and think about this one. I don't think any of this looks would flatter me. But I guess better to have eyebrows than not have them at all. 

14.) Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish?

I can't believe I'm saying this but I would rather live without nail polish. And this is coming from the girl that has a big nail polish collection.
But the thing is I love makeup too much to give it up. I love doing natural looks and bright and fun looks and it helps me express myself I think so that is why I went with it.

I TAG all of you out there to do your own version of this tag and please when you do it leave me your link in my comments below.

Thank you for reading, 

Dee.
