My Every Day Beauty Routine

Hello! I've been planning this post for a while now and I'm finally doing it :) I'm talking more about my summer routine because when it's school time I simply don't have the time to do all that, I'm a heavy sleeper and usually wake up when I hear the last ring of my last minute alarm clock, yeah it's a shame.

So first thing that I do after waking up is go to the toilet, who doesn't! Then every other day I take a shower in the morning because I want to wash my hair. For shampoo I use Midollo di bamboo restructuring shampoo, once it was in my monthly favourites too. For conditioner I use the same brand Midollo di bamboo, recharging mask. I know it's a mask but I use it as conditioner and it works well, I just leave it in for 5 minutes. Until my mask is on I use Playboy VIP Glam & Rich shower gel, it smells amazing! Then I wash off my mask/conditioner and omg my hair is so nice after that, it kinda fades away with few hours though.

When I come out of the shower I go to my room and I like to play my 'Get Up' playlist from my phone, this really gets me going with all the stuff, I do aaand I love to sing along, full on! :)

Then I spray on my Adidas action 3 ProClear deodorant and it's lotion time! For my arms and sholders I use Organic Tahiti Secret body lotion glitter. Since it's summer and my skin doesn't tan well, then I use a little help with my legs and I use the Dove Summer Glow nourishing self tanner.

When that is done, I'm going to mess around with my hair. Since I blow dry my hair I have to use heat protection, protecting your hair is very important, in the beginning I thought that oh what the heck who cares, but it really damages your hair, even if you use heat protection but it can definatelly help to reduce the damage! I know that my heat protection is from Schwarzkopf but I peeled off the label the other day, I really don't know why, so I can't tell you anything else. By that point I already have towel dried hair and then I take my Schwarzkopf BC Bonacure Oil Miracle and put it in the ends of my hair. This gets rid of all the broken ends, I was so sceptic about this product when I first started using it but it really does get rid of  most of them, I literally see the ends falling to the floor when I use it! And I also use Schwarzkopf BC Bonacure Moisture Kick leave-in spray conditioner, it should make my hair tangle free. Then I start blow drying, using Braun creation 1600, it's an old model but I like it, it has 2 different heats and you can also put it on cold and then it shoots cold wind, which is way less harmful for your hair, but see, the thing is, then hair takes so much longer to dry. When I'm done with blow drying, I use another leave-in spray, it's Affinage conditioner from hair care collection, I like to use it because it smells like strawberries!!! :)

Now I move on to my face. I try to take a good care of my face because I have very sensitive and dry skin. Also I can get quite allergetic about some products so I have to be really careful with what I put on my skin. First I clean my face with estonian product, cucumber face cleanser, it's pure nature so it's harmless for my skin, I use softstar cotton pads or cotton balls. Then I put on day cream, I have a tester from it and now, well I peeled off the top part and I can't see the whole name but I think it is Hahrin day cream. I really love it and I want a full size. 

Makeup! I do it quite differently but here's a sample then. First I put on Manhattan clear face natural mat makeup SPF 15 foundation using makeup sponge or foundation brush. then I cover the blemishes and under eye circles with Rimmel Match Perfection concealer. Now, let's say that today I also feel like using eye shadow. Then first I put on my eye lids Too Faced Shadow insurance primer. Primer is especially nessesary in summer, when with all the hot weather your eye lids might get sweaty and then all the eye shadow will come off and you end up having the lovely panda look. Anyway, basically the only eye shadow that I use is Beyu duo eye shadow 17. For applying I use Makeup Factory shadow brush. I usually first put the lighter colour all over my lid and then since I suck with eyeliner, I put the darker brown on my lash line, it gives basically the same effect but softer, sometimes I also use the darker one in the crease of my lid. I then take my Manhattan Trio Effect blush rouge & highlighter and with Makeup Factory blush brush I take the blush colour and apply it on my cheeks. With my ring finger I put the light colour in the inner corner of my eyes, under my brow bone and where ever I want to highlight. Then I curl my lashes with I-dont-know-what-brand lash curler, I feel like I can't not use curler because it really openes the eyes. Then I apply Beyu beauty queen volume mascara, which is waterproof. Then lastly I do my lips. In summer I like to use lip gloss and so I put on Bourjois Effect 3D Max gloss in 14 and that's my makeup done :)

When it's face mask day, I use The Body Shop Honey & Oat 3-in-1 scrub mask. It clenses, polishes and moisturises. Obviousely I first take off my makeup and I also cleanse my face with the same cucumber cleansing water that I use in the morning. I give myself this little spa treatment about 3 times a week. I've tried lots of face masks but The Body Shop one I really love, it's gentle on my skin and it works well, The Body Shop products are all so good but the price is kinda heavy, I'm willing to sacrifice for good skin though.

Then I just choose my clothes and something from my jewlery collection, have breakfast and get on with my day.

It's night time! First I remove my makeup, eyes go off with Bourjois Maxi Format gentle eye makeup remover. Usually I use only that but since it's so close to end then I have to save as long as I can so for face I use Nivea face makeup remover. Lastly I put on another tester that I'm hoping to get the full size soon, Garnier Moisture Match normal to dry skin moisturizer. And that should be my daily routine done :) I truly apologize for the especially crappy pictures this time, I seriousely don't know what was going on with my phone :/
