the foot cream

Way back when I was watching my mum doing her leg/feet skincare I always thought that I never ever want to do this in my life :D... well we are there right now, but I have a lovely product I can start building my feet skincare and that is from AVON, the foot works cream with silicone. I love the smell and it is pretty moisturizing but it hasn't done any wonders yet although I almost finished it, so I still wait for the bam ! I either have to repurchase it again or try something else.

facemask

Heeellooo lovelies! Today I want to introduce you my new weird friend: BALEA peel-off mask. So I bought it because I felt really "pamper-nighty" when I was sick. This product claims to be moisturizing and was made with apricots. Well when I first put on I almost fainted from its smell. It smelled like nail polish remover and it kind of irritated my face. So I was very scared that it will break me out, but fortunately it didn't and I could use it twice ( as the package says ) but I didn't make any changes, maybe I need to use more ? I can't decide either to do that or just try another one :D What is your favourite pamper night product?

AVON - skincare products

I don't know if you remember my mention of an Avon order in my being sick post, but now I can finally start writing reviews about the stuff that I got. I will start with the three skincare products that I purchased. 
Firstly, from the Care "line", I picked two cleansers, both are a 3 in 1. The one with the blue lid ( :D ) is an oil control one, that claims to be a cleanser, toner and moisturizer all in one with echinacea and wheat germ oil. And the other with a green lid is a cleansing, soothing and hydrating milk with aloe vera and vitamin E. I thought ( maybe I am very wrong ) that since one of them is a milk I can use them at the same time. At first I recognized some more spots  but I didn't stop because I was sick at the time and took antibiotics so I couldn't decide what caused them. Then I went on for another week, and stopped to use it the week after, and now being back on track with it. I think this doesn't break me out so much, but I found it working better now, that I don't use it so strictly every morning and evening, maybe it is just too much for my skin. 
BUT both of them claims to be mosturizing and I still need my moisturizer after them, which is really creamy so the oiliness doesn't disappear fully. However I may encourage "the shine"  with the BB creams that I use, so all in all I am satisfied with these bad boys.

And the third product is from the planet spa "line". They had all of their face masks on sale, but I tried my best and did my research before picking out one. I have to say that I have a combination of oily and normal skin with dry patches/ phases every once in a while - so just a bit of everything, for being fun...:D - and that dryness - and the fact that I found the others either for having the effect of a younger looking skin, or too "much" for me - made me chosoe the one I chose. It is the Heavenly Hydration with Mediterranean Olive Oil. It is really hydrating and seems like you have a mask of water on your face. You have to leave it on for 20 minutes ( then it'll feel a bit heavier and warmer ) and wash it off with tepid water and it works wonders. Although the basic oiliness of my skin requires limited use of it ( around 3 times a month ).

I have to say I am pretty proud of myself because I am satisfied with everything I ordered, although it was a first for me, because before I never really bought anything skincare realted with having long thoughts about it in advance. And you'll see how my further Avon products turned out to be. Stay tuned for that ;)

being sick

Being sick sucks! Apologies for my not too nice topic sentence but that is the truth. And I think it is delicate from someone who is home for 7 days in a row now. I hate sickness, not going to school and falling behind, not being able to go to parties ( concerts ), and not having a reason for using makeup ( also not really enjoying doing it ) and just everything. The sore-throat, tonsillitis, back-aching, head-ache, fever and other aching body parts. I would be more gutted if the weather was as nice as two weeks ago. 
But I brought you some of my 'sickness essentials' to get through a day if you ( like me ) are sick in JUNE.
First is tea. I know this is not the real 'hot' tea - athough I'm sure you can heat it. But I took these pictures when I was feeling better so that's why is Nestea replacing real tea in a mug, what I usually go for beacuse hydration is really important. It helps get rid of the fever the bacillus and the pathogens. I normally drink water but after 5 days of hydrating, it's nice to spice things up a little bit.

Second is to have something that keeps you busy ( if you're well enough ) between two sleeps - because that's how you measure a sick day...eat,sleep, rave, repeat-. I like to use this extra free time to read and watch some series or films. Currently I'm reading Harry Potter all over again. If you've seen my Instagram you could tell I am a massive Potterhead. 

From my medicines I only captured my thermometer ( important to use it regularly! ) because that's the boring part. :D

And we finally got to skincare. Just before I got sick my Avon purchase arrived and I used plenty of it in my sick days so here is just a tiny part of my sick skincare. This time I was so much better ( thanks to Avon because the excitement over new products helped ) with caring about my skin around these times and I was more grateful than ever for my moisturizer and my lipbalm that I spoke about here in the past. And the newcomer here is a foot moisturizer ( Avon foot work ) ! Yes, I finally bought some ( and believe me I really needed it ) and it has an amazing scent to it. And I always think when I use it that in Mean Girls they said that Regina's face smells like footcream, well if they use it I would totally be okay with the thing! :D

Anyways do you have any holy-grail sick trick or skincare product? Let me know in the comments! xx, Kyra

Skincare

Hi dolls :) I am sorry but I've just watched Keeping up with the Kardashians so I am really in the K spirit. And I am here with a new 2014 Blogger Challenge post, yes almost not on time. It's all about skincare. I did a blogpost about my winter skincare that you can read here ! But today I am here with a home-made recipe. It's a face and body scrub which I originally saw on the beautiful Annie Jaffrey's site here. She also made a youtube video so even I was able to make this easy mask. You'll need a lemon, a tablespoon of olive oil, same from honey and 1/2 cup of sugar. You mix everything together and use it on the areas you want to. My own face is pretty problematic but I found this working amazingly well on it. It makes my skin smooth for longer than a face scrub bought in shops and it doesn't dry my skin after I used it. But you have to keep it in the fridge otherwise it will go bad. I strongly advice to try this out, I think it's great :)

Do you have your own recipe? Let me know in the comments because I love trying out new home-made things!

winter skincare

Hi everybody! I hope all of you are stuffed with Christmas food. Because I definitely am :) But I am here with a new post, it's all about skincare. Since it's the winter time I take care of my skin more than usually. I use for my breakouts a special fishy cream that is made by my cosmetician but the other products can easily be found in stores I think.

This is my handcream from Avon, it's lovely.

This is my facecream it has milk in it and it's super moisturizing.

This is my lotion with almonds, I love it!

This is my cream with the fishy thing in it. It's stinky but effective.

What are your skincare products? Let me know in the comments! And eat a lot! :D
