Yelena knows it all

Dear Ladies - what do you think about changing your nail polish often ? I love experimenting with different polish colors, textures and finishes :) A few weeks ago I've tried the reverse french manicure for the first time and was impressed how simple and easy to recreate it was! I thought this look is great for everybody who liked to change up the look of their nails  in an elegant way! Products used: - YVES ROCHER NAIL BASE - H&M Nail Polish in 70s Boho - YVES ROCHER Nail Polish in Blue Night NAIL IT - GOLD/NAVY NAIL TUTORIAL   Hope you liked it - and you will recreate it :) xoxo Yelena

Today we are going to make a beauty mask for oily/combination skin, which works wonders on my skin! After each use my skin feels so refreshed and clean :) It's the BANANA MASK FOR OILY SKIN If you have ripe bananas you don't want to eat - just try this miracle skin mask 1 banana, preferably ripe 2 tbsp honey An orange or a lemon Mash up the banana and add the honey. If you can, place the mixture into a blender - this will make your mask smooth and creamy. Lastly add a few drops of orange/lemon juice. Apply to your face for 15 minutes before rinsing off with a cool washcloth or a steaming warm washcloth. Follow up with your regular moisturizer. Hope you try it out :) Let me know how it worked on you - I love it :) HERE IS MY YOUTUBE VIDEO:  xoxo Yelena

Ladies I am going to start a series on my blog where I tell you about a few face masks that me and my girlsfriends have tried out and they worked wonders on our skin :) Depending on what skin type you have, you can use several natural ingredients to suit your preferences and make youself glowy and beautiful! You can use all organic products, if you want to, and I recommend to do so, but we all know that those products ofter are a little bit overpriced - so "normal" ingredients will work too :) Many of these ingredients you will find at your home, and if not - they're right at your local supermarket ;) In todays blog post you will learn how to sooth sensitive skin ´   Let's start off with SENSITIVE SKIN: This mask is great for sensitive, chapped and even sunburnt skin. 1 cup natural yogurt ½ cup oatmeal Mix the ingredients together and apply to the skin for 10-15 minutes. Wash the off mask with a washcloth steamed in the...

Dear Ladies :) I've tried the new GARNIER Miracle Skin Perfector BB CREAM - matt version. I must say I'm quite impressed with this product.  Like every other BB-Cream this also has a sunscreen, primer, moisturiser and a little bit of "foundation" and it perfects the skin like the name says.  First I thought this is going to be a really greasy paste, which is not going to last on my skin - but right after the first application I was suprised of the benefits and the true claims of this product.  For me -  a person with a combination/oily skin (dry cheeks but oily T-Zone) it works pretty well. I tested it out for 2 weeks streight and IT convinced me to start believing in BB-Creams :) Some days I didn't even had to powder my T-Zone, so I just skiped it totally. And it has great coverage :))) I'm really impressed that this product, allthough it contains sunscreen doesn't leave your skin tinted in white - no whitecast with flash photography :) ...

Dear Ladies :) I never though I would fall for a nature product - but I did! I'm talking about almond oil :) There are numerous benefits for sweet almond oil. It contains a lot of vitamin E . Vitamin E is also known as the food for our skin. It protects our skin from damaging ultraviolet lights, prevents cell damage and also fights with some skin disorders. Some studies have shown that vitamin E is helpful to reduce stress. Allthough a lot of persons like the sente of sweet almond oil for me its gross - but oh well, Beauty knows no pain :) Using almond oil on daily basis can provide you with lots of vitamin! Also its nourishing nature and great emollient properties makes it an excellent choice for the people with dry but also normal and even oily skin. TIPP FOR OILY SKIN: IF YOU TRICK YOUR SKIN TO THINK IT IS OILY, IT WILL PRODUCE LESS OILS THAT MAKE YOU GREASY ;) Almond Oil in Action: Wrinkles: To reduce wrinkles and get a great glow, massage almond...
