Suché kefovanie

Ak si myslíte že vás tu budem poučovať ako umývať riad alebo drhnúť koberec, veľmi sa mýlite. Dnes sa budeme rozprávať o kefovaní pokožky na sucho. 

Je to tradičná technika, ktorou si dokážete veľmi pomôcť vášmu zdraviu, ale aj štruktúre pokožky.

Osobne rada robím suché kefovanie pred sprchou kedy môžete zmy všetky odumreté časti pokožky. Pri kefovaní sa postupuje od nôh smerom ku srdcu, pričom robiť by ste mali krátke pohyby smerom hore, ktoré by ste mali pomaly predlžovať. Kefovanie môže trvať od minútky po ako dlho vám je príjemné, ale bežných 5 minút denne alebo niekoľko krát za týždeň vie veľmi pomôcť. 

Suché kefovanie pomáha zlepšovaní krvného obehu a lymfatickému systému (uvoľňuje telo od toxínov, pomáha zbavovať telo metabolického odpadu- kedy telo môže lepšie fungovať), zvyšovanie cirkulácie v pokožke pomáha pri zbavovaní sa celulitídy, zbavuje vás odumretých kožných buniek, omladzuje nervový systém stimulovaním nervových zakončení v koži, pomáha zo svalovým rozložením a pomáha pri rovnomernom rozložení tukových zásob a pomáha pokožke lepšie absorbovať živiny. A mohla by som o tom rozprávať a rozprávať,.... 

Čo je podstatné, kefu si môžete kúpiť lacno a kdekoľvek (kamarátka si ju kúpila v 101drogerie za 4€, ja som si ju kúpila v Bratislave v Tiger obchode tiež za takú cenu). Môžete ju využívať s rúčkou, ale ja ju radšej pevne držím v rukách. 

Suché kefovanie skutočne dokáže pomôcť s tým, aby vaša pokožka žiarila, bola pevnejšia, jemnejšia a krajšia. 

Prvý krát po kefovaní môžete cítiť malé štipkanie, ale časom si telo zvykne a bude to veľmi príjemné. 

Vyskúšali ste už niekedy suché kefovanie?

Violight Slim sonic toothbrush

Every once in a while I am obsessed with something. And recently it has been TEETH. You know how it is (when being obsessed) you have to have everything that helps the situation. And in this case I went all out, buying different teeth flosses, tongue cleaners, mouthwashes, mouthsprays....

But once when I was at work, trying to brush my teeth after a lunch, I just couldn't get satisfied with just a regular toothbrush. Well, let me explain. For my morning and evening, I use my sonic tootbrush. But you ain't seeing me caring that in my purse. 

That's why this Violight Slim sonic toothbrush is so great. 

I don't know if I got myself too spoiled with using sonic toothbrush, but I can't feel that my teeth are clean with regular brush anymore. When britishbeautyblogger mentioned this little guy, I had to have it. It is giving 22,000 brushstroker per minute and it is the coolest portable brush there is. It is fancy looking, small, easy to carry around, just use battery and it really does clean the teeth, really. 

I bought mine in Fenwick: here (you might rather get it in the store as it looks sold out online) or buy it in your local Boots, but in Boots it has got price £19.99 here (on an offer now) and in Fenwick I got it only for £12.50. So trust me, try to get it in Fenwick:)

Flawless foundation routine: 9 steps

SETTING SPRAY

I came to this product again after while and I have to say it really does make a difference. I love it as it feels just like water, so no extra creamy step as a primer would do. It really makes your makeup stay, doesn't move and if I have that odd blemish, the concealer stays on better.

I tend to spray it before and after.

FOUNDATION

I am somehow always on a hunt for best foundation. I want coverage without feeling too much. I think I found the right one. It is definitely on a pricier side and that was the reason why I was hesitating for so long. But.....oh man, this is like a dream. My skin looks better, looks healthier, even and well balanced.

I apply it with any brush that I just grab, but personally my favourites are kabuki brushes.

POWDER

I was very disappointed with the packaging of this Dior powder as it broke. Oh, come on, it is not £3 I paid for it....anyways, the actual powder is really nice. (used with MAC 187 brush)

ALLOVER CONCEALER

My absolute favourite concealer of all time is Origins plantscription. Covers well without looking caky. 

UNDER EYE CONCEALER

The best concealer for under eyes is mac prolongwear. Just the best covering (it can be a little bit drying so make sure you are using a great eye cream before)

BLUSH

Blush with my loved RT brush which it makes it so easy. Just apply on cheeks upwards and you are good to go.

BRONZER

I am not going mental with bronzer, just trying to give a little bit of warmth to the skin. Close to hairline. Define my cheekbones. 

HIGHLIGHTER

Highlighter really does make a difference with giving the glow to the skin. My favourite is this MAC soft and gentle. I never use my others.

SET IT ALL

The last time spraying this setting spray and my makeup actually lasts my whole day at work. When it handles that, I am happy.

Any amazing foundation secrets you are on your own? Definitely leave a comment down below, would love to see them:)

My favourite face makeup brushes

I wasn't the biggest addict of makeup brushes in the past,but when I found the really good ones,I see a very big difference how my makeup lasts and looks.

I would like to show you what makeup brushes I love to use on everyday basis because of their great quality and performance.

The brushes that I purchase most of time are the foundation ones. As I am wearing foundation everyday  and don't have time to wash them that often (and I wash my brushes after one use), it works for me great and I can find how they work best. Sigma angled kabuki brush works amazing! It is so ease to build up foundation and blend it where needed. 

The stippling brush from real techniques I use every time when I break out and need super coverage. Just stipple it on, looks great, natural and your skin doesn't look like it is going through the hell.

There is not a lot to tell about this brush. Just easy, quick and soft;)

I absolutely adore this brush. My only Chanel brush, which is so worth it. Use it for blush, highlighter or bronzer, depends on the look that I go for. 

It is easy to always have just right amount of blusher on-not too much, not too little. As you take blush on the tip of the brush and then blend with the whole size of the brush.

My everyday work make-up

I always love to know what products are people using for their everyday makeup, so I thought why not share mine:)

I need my makeup stay put for whole day, that's why I use setting spray and primer afterwards. I found that it helps even around my nose area which can can greasy the most.

I like to go for a full coverage foundation, but I am trying to use more concealer where I need it and going for a foundation where it is very necessary.                      I always set my foundation with powder, currently I am trying out the bare minerals Mineral veil. 

Sometimes I like to go for a little bit of bronzer as it gives me nice colour to the face and the Sleek one works perfectly for my skin as it is not too dark. I wouldn't apply too much, but it gives nice warm, brownish colour. My orgasm blush from Nars is my favourite as it give me nice glow and healthy look to my skin, which is always a plus;)

I love having winged eyeliner for everyday, but I found that when I apply black eyeshadow on the top of my eyeliner, it looks more interesting and not that harsh for a day use. 

As a eyeprimer I am using Origins cream shadow and after that I am playing these days with Naked palette 2, which my lovely friend Lauren gave me (how sweet of her:)). And I absolutely love it. I have the original Naked palette so I never thought about picking this up, but it is truly amazing. Love the colours. 

These days I am using wearing the same products on my lips as I like the finish and colour (as seen on the picture)

Thank you so much for reading my today's post and hopefully soon I will send my days off make-up for you as it is quite different;)

Wishlist #2

There are always products and things I would love to buy, let me share the current ones:

1. Macademia Deep Repair Masque- 250 ml £20.35

                                                           500 ml £31.25

2. Babyliss Big Hair 2775u spinning brush- £45

3. Hunter willies-£90

4. Tangle teezer- £10.99

5. MAC brushes- from £26

1.My friend was in US and she brought me sample sizes of macademia oil products. I had to go and try the masque as it is raved by so many people. Not surprised. Smells great and leaves hair nice and silky.

2. I always like to get that little bit of volume to the hair as it looks really good, much better than my normal flat hair. The only way though as I am able to achieve it is having hair rollers in which sometimes takes too much time and effort. After watching few videos and reading few reviews, this looks like something perfect for me. 

3. Oh, Hunter boots. Love them. They are so normal and sophisticated at the same time.

4. Again my hair. As it is getting longer, it get more tangly. If there is something that will get rid of the tangles and not damage my hair, wonderful;)

5. Mac brushes are one of those brushes people love when they own them. So far I don't own any, but soon that will hopefully change.

What does your wishlist contain?
