"What's In My Shower" Tag.

So about a month ago I was tagged by the lovely Vicky from the blog  Beauty & the Food Beast to do the "What's In My Shower" tag but I completely forgot about it, so I'm doing it now, even though I'm propably the last person doing it but I think that's ok. I decided to show you only the products that I use while I'm in the shower, and not any body creams or lotions. Since the corner of my shower it's not a particular beautiful spot to show to you guys, I put them all in a basket just to look more presentable.

I'll start off with the shampoos that I'm using right now. I love the Herbal Essences shampoos, I must have tried all of them but I always prefer the creamy over the clear ones because they're more hydrating. Right now I'm using the Seductively Straight one, it's pretty good nothing too special but it's OK. And every 3 weeks or once a month I use the Redken Hair Cleansing Cream shampoo, which is a clarifying shampoo, it gets rid off all the build up that I may have on my hair from styling products, hair oils etc. It does a great job but beware it is a strong shampoo that's why I always deep conditioning my hair after that, it also has a pleasant fresh/citrus scent which I love.

The conditioners that I use right now and I love them both very much are the Aussie Miracle Moist and the L'oreal Total Elvive Repair 5. The Aussie Miracle Moist is a great lightweight but very moisturizing conditioner, my bottle is almost empty but I repurchased it about a week ago, it is quite expensive in Greece but I always look out for deals and coupons. The L'oreal Elvive Total Repair 5 is an oldie but goodie, it's my favourite drugstore hair conditioner for a long time, it's actually one of the most high quality conditioners you will find at the drugstore.

Two shower gels that I love using besides soaps, which I also like but I didn't have any to show to you right now, are the Dove Go Fresh with Blue Fig and Orange Blossom, and the Soap & Glory Clean Girls body wash. The Dove Go Fresh has a very summerish scent perfect for a moring shower. The Soap & Glory Clean Girls body wash unfortunately is not sold in Greece, I got it while I was in the UK but if you can get it in your hands or any of the Soap & Glory body washes  in general just grab one, they are very moisturizing, this particular one has a very unique flowery and manly scent. And I love the pump, I wish all shower gels would come with a pump, they're so handy!

As for the scrubs that I'm using I have to say that I like to exfoliate my face only while I'm in the shower, I don't know why, don't ask me. Even though I'm a hardcore fan of the Korres Pomegranate face scrub I grabbed this St.Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub while I was in the UK just to try it out, and also because it's a very popular face scrub and I cannot get it in Greece. I can't say that I love it as much as I love the Korres one but it they're very similar in texture, the only problem that I have with the St.Ives one is that it has a strong smell of alcohol which I don't particularly like. When it comes to exfoliate my body I'm such a lazy person, I always forget to do it. Right now I'm using the Soap & Glory Breakfast Scrub which I also got in the UK, and I have to say that it smells exactly like brown sugar! The texture is kind of weird though, it's very hard, not creamy at all and I'm used to more creamy body scrubs like the ones from The Body Shop which I love. This one you have to really work it between your hands to warm it up so you can apply it on your skin, otherwise it will just fall into your bathtub, even then it will still crumble and make a bit of a mess in your shower.



So that was everything, all the products that I use while I'm in the shower, ok maybe not everything, I didn't include razors and soap for the intimate area, because to be honest they are not that intresting. I like to change the products that I'm using in the shower quite often, but these are the ones that I'm using this period, I hope you liked them.
Let me know if you're using any of them or if you've tried them in the past and if you like them or not. Even better let me know what are the products that you're using while you're in the shower, and for any of you that you haven't been tagged to do this post, I tag you all!

TAG: 5 Product Make Up

So I was tagged by the lovely beauty blogger Sofia from the blog Beauty In Crisis to do this 5 product make up tag, so if I had to do my make up with only 5 products which products I'd use. Because it's summertime and we all get a bit lazy with our make up routine,it was easy for me to choose only 5 products, let's take a look at the ones I used and enjoyed the most!

It's very important for me to use some kind of base on my face, whether it's a liquid foundation or just a powder, my absolute HG face product for this summer was definitely the Frezyderm Face Foundation SPF30, which is a foundation and a sunscreen in one. It gives an amazing coverage and also protects my face from the sun. A concealer is also very important to me, actually it's even more than a foundation, because if I have a good skin day I just pop some concealer on my face a little bit of powder and I'm done. I chose the Benefit  Boi-ing concealer and not one of the others I have in my make up collection because it provides amazing coverage for my face and not just for under my eyes, it's propably the only concealer that covers so well my imperfections such as redness, spots and scars, so if I had to chose only one concealer it had to be this one!
 A bronzer it's an essential whether it's winter or summer, and because I had to choose only 5 products for this tag I decided to skip the peachy blush and just go for a brown blush that can be used as a bronzer. My HG is Seventeen's Cafe Au Lait blusher, it gives to my face the warmth it needs so I won't look like a ghost.
As for my eyes I decided to choose just a mascara, because I can go without eyeshadow and liner with no problem, I have hooded eyes and my lids have a natural brown tint so most of the times I look like I wear brown eyeshadow without even wearing one! The mascara I love the most is L'oreal's Mega Volume Collagene 24H, it makes my poor thin lashes look fuller.

And lastly for my lips it was really hard for me to choose only one lip product, but I'm 100% sure that the Essence I'm Sailing lipstick is the one that I loved the most this summer. It's peachy, quite pigmented and with a glossy finish, what more could I ask? Whenever I use this lipstick I look like I have a tan when I actually don't have one.


I hope you liked this tag post, I know that you've already seen most of these products in my previous posts but these are the ones that I love and use the most right now, and definitely the only ones I would use on a daily basis. Since I'm propably the last person to do this tag, I want to tag every single one of you to do this post if you haven't already done it, and for those who don't have a blog I want you to leave me a comment with the 5 products you would choose to do your make up.

What products you have been using lately? I wanna know! I tag everybody!

More than a Beauty tag

This is my first tag, I was tagged by the lovely sissi's place .   Sooooooo................

Fondest Childhood Memory?

It’s not one memory in particular, it’s more like a combination of childhood memories, mostly summertime ones, me playing with my friends all day at my neighborhood’s playground till the sun goes down, travelling with my parents, especially road trips, and many more! 

Quirky Habit

I write every little thing that comes to my mind on Post-Its, lists with things to do or certain products I want to check out, or remember to do something like house stuff or not to drink coffee next day because my stomach is sensitive, you know silly everyday stuff. I do this mostly because I forget easily so I need reminders all the time. 

Play Sports?

Nope, not a sports person here.

Favorite Book

Jane Austin’s Pride & Prejudice, corny I know! And Victoria Hislop’s The Island, I can’t tell you enough how much I love this book! 

If you could invent something what would it be?

I’m not that imaginative as a person to think of something cool right now, but for my mum I’d like to find a cure for headaches that doesn’t include painkillers.

If you could own your own business what would it be?

I’ve always wanted a warm and cozy bookstore like the one Meg Ryan had in “You’ve Got Mail”. 

Someone you admire(who doesn't know who you are)

I can’t think of anyone right now sorry. 

A talent you wish you had

Definitely painting and drawing. I always admire a person who can paint because I really can’t.

Something you wish you'd know two years ago?

Not stressing out about getting my degree because it’s pretty much useless right now! 

What do you do to feel centered/relaxed?

I  like to get up in the morning do some housework and then make some coffee and go sit around my computer watching Youtube videos or check out blogs or see a TV show that I like. 

Who is someone that makes you feel loved?

My family, and it will always be my family no matter what! 

The most interesting place you have been and why?

OK this question really hurts because I haven’t been anywhere special, I haven’t  even left the country sooooo no I won’t answer it! 

3 books you can't wait to end

I only have one right now, The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simmons. 

A cherished keepsake you will keep forever?

Certain things from my childhood, but I can’t remember anything specific right now. 

Something you really want to see or do before you die?

Definetely travelling to certain European countries like Spain, Paris and London, and a special long trip to the US.
