Put the mask on

After 4 days in a spa hotel, I'm left with another kilo and a tonsilitis. Yes, I did say that just to stop you from getting jealous. But it's true. 
Here's what I usually use, at home, when I don't have sauna and other luxury around to treat my skin (not that my skin likes to flaunt it) ... my other three best friends: Collistar exfoliant and regenerating mask, followed by Melvita purifying mask and Lancaster nourishing mask. Yum (says skin).

The Curious Case Of Beauty Routine

This is what you should do at least once a week to give your skin a break from the nasty chemicals in beauty products. 
The vinegar smells and the face mask is messy, but its fun and worth it. 
You'll look like your younger sister! So, Benjamin Button, bring it on!

1. (optional) - Be gentle with your skin, specially if the bits are not very fine!

2. If you didn't follow step 1, clean your skin first. The tea tree oil is antiseptic and the giger root does wonders.
This will open up your pores and make your face go 'Ahuuhh!!'

3. (optional) Use less soda if you have a sensitive skin. it will help with impurities. 
There's vitamin E in the flour, lactic acid and zinc in yoghurt, vitamins and antioxidants in grapes and in olive oil. 
It will clean, soothe, soften and tighten the skin and refine the pores while nourishing your it.



4. Apply a few drops of apple vinegar on a damp cotton pad!

5. I've been using Bio-oil for a while now and i love it, but you can use olive oil, argan oil or any other mixture you get in an organic beauty shop or make yourself. 
If your skin is greasy or combination, go for olive oil!

6.
Go to sleep, and try not to be too vain about your looks the next morning..:)

Topshop Unique

Topshop Unique beauty:


Their stylist Paul Hanlon (for Bumble&Bumble) worked the hair with pastel coloured extensions into tiny twists, spraying with hairspray and pressing it with straighteners, then unpin them and brush them out to get the 70s volume. Makeup was focused on the statement lip in glossy red, for which Hannah Murray used Topshop’s own makeup line.

Eye lash you

Last Thursday I pulled off fake eylashes for the first time. Celebration!
Last year I tried the Essence ones (don't judge me, they cost a bit more than 2€) and I couldn't attach them! Once I managed they actually looked like centipedes with moustache. Then I wanted to get MACs, but 7€ seemed too much at the time. Now I got Wimp'rs ones and they still last...for only 4€.

Let me remind you, at this occasion, ladies, do always keep your eyelash glue in the bag with you and always curl your own eyelashes before applying the mascara!!
