Garnier Ultra Doux: Review

Hi everyone,

Sorry I've been skipping out the whole blogging thing this past month (maybe two). I've explained the reason for this in my Blog NewZ post. I have a really quick review for you you today. Well, maybe not so quick: none of my posts are ever short LOL,

But I'm going to tell you what I think about Garnier's Ultra Doux shampoos. I already did a review of the one with pomegranate in my Hair Routine for Thin Hair post. I was really pleased so I decided to try out a few other ones as well. Here is my impression....

Blog NewZ 11.2013

Hey guys,

Sorry I've been kind of M.I.A. but there have been many things on my plate this past month. I am coming back though. And as usual, I am making my "Big Return" with a Blog Newz post. Here is what's been happenning and what is going to happen until Christmas....

Nail It: Sweet Blueberry Nail Art

Hi everyone,

So, recently I've been a little ill and the weather is making me feel even worse. Don't get me wrong, I like fall- it's so colorful and fun, but there is something depressing about looking at the bare tree trunks, soaked with rain and the dark streets with little pubbles and crushed leaves..... right?.... no.... whatever. =D

The point is that I wanted to add some color to my look, and I decided to make a nail design with blueberries. I got my inspiration from the dark blue nail polish I used. I just saw the color and immediately decided to create a design with it. However, the only thing it reminded me of was a blueberry. And I did it. I hope you like it and leave a comment, telling me what you think. So, let's begin...

1000 VIEWS!?!?!

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

OMG everyone,

I can't believe we reached 1000 views in less than four months and about 20 posts. You guys are amazing. Thank you so much. Just seeing the number gives me a huge boost in motivation! I cannot wait until we reach 2000. I hope you will be right there next to me on this journey.

Let's start the new 2014 with 2000 views! What do you think? Can we do it? I think we can. I will pull myself together and I will write and the more feedback you give me, the more motivated I will be.

Thank you again!

Hair Routine: For Thin & Weak Hair

Hi everyone,

After the Ultimate Fashion Guide: Fall 2013 I didn't really have any ideas for a next post. Also, with school starting I barely had any time at all. This is why I haven't posted anything in a while. You can check out my last Blog NewZ to read more, but now I am just going to begin with my current hair routine, which BTW I have been loving A LOT during the whole month of September.

Hi everyone,

The Ultimate Fashion Guide: Fall 2013

Hi everyone,

I don't know if you remember, but I did a post on Fashion trends for Summer 2013. (You can see it here) So, of course, I had to do one for Fall. In fashion, trends change constantly. I am not the kind of person who wants to have all the latest trends and nothing else. Don't get me wrong, I love fashion and I enjoy dressing in style, but I prefer incorporating the trends and modiying them to my current style. This way I feel comfortable, but I also improve my way of dressing up.

Ok, enough with the long intro. Let me show you what trends I noticed for this fall and also how you can incorporate them with your clothes without going overboard.

Again, this is going to be a VERY long post with many pictures and fun tips!!! 

"Common White Girl" Tag

Hi everyone,

I have never done a tag post before, so when I found out I was tagged to do this one I immediately had to get working on it. I was tagged by Vanya from thebeautyblog2 . You can check her beauty blog, it's super cute. There is a link to it in the right sidebar. So, without losing any more time.... here are my answers to the "Common White Girl" tag...

BIG Haul

Hi everyone,

This is my first haul post and I am not sure how I am supposed to do it. I will add a lot of pictures of everything I got during my vacation and I will tell you why I decided to buy each product and also why I like it so much. I will include some tips on wearing the jewellery that is included and the clothes as well. So let's begin...     Warning: Long post with many pictures!!!

Blog NEWZ

Hi everyone,

I know, I know... I promised I would start posting more regularly and I know you want to read posts, related to beauty. The thing is, I think I'm having writer's block. I can't think of anything interesting to write and when I sit down to actually do it I get distracted to the smallest thing and end up not doing any useful. I suppose it's because I will be starting school next week and I am a little depressed.

This is why I wanted to take the time to apologise and I will try to finish the post I have been working on for the past few days tomorrow. After that I am thinking of doing a few "back to school" posts, but we'll see.

Today, I created a header for my blog. I think it turned out quite well. The design is simple, but it gives out the main idea of the blog, which I think is the main point.

Well, I guess that's it for today. I'll try to force myself to write a little bit. =D

Have you ever had writer's block or felt depressed before starting school? Also, what posts would you like to see here?

Hi everyone,

Blog News: Random ThingZ

Hi everyone,

So after I posted my "Minion Nails" post I haven't really been able to write anything else beauty-related. I don't even have an adequate excuse, I just always kept putting it off for another day and so on. I am trying to post, but for no apparent reason it just takes me a lot of time. I am also kinda running out of ideas.I just don't know what you will most enjoy reading.

I did a "Read More" button on my posts because I think that every reader can choose whether to read it or not in he/she finds the topic interesting.

I am going on vacation next week (20 something August) for a week so I will try to write a bit more posts and post them regularly while I am there. I will update you regularly while I am there via Twitter. Don't forget to follow me @2ferocious .

I really like connecting with you and it's a pleasure for me to read and answer your e-mails and messages, so if anyone of you is feeling shy to write to me- PLEASE DO. I will answer you right away.

The Ferocious Critic: Garnier Essentials 2 in 1 make up remover

Hi everyone,

If you are not seing my blog for the first time, you may remember that there was a poll about what your favorite type of post are. Well, the results are officially in and you chose with a relatively big majority "Reviews" as your favorite posts. Then I noticed that I have only one review: Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Cleanser. So, I decided to do another one. Lately, I have been really pleased (and "pleased" is an understatement) with Garnier's "Calming 2 in 1 make up remover". And I am going to tell you why....

DIY Banana Face Mask

Hi everyone,

Because of the super hot weather my skin has been really oily and also a little bit irritaded by the harsh sun. Normally I love doing masks on my face and maybe I will do a review of my favorite ones soon, but lately I have been loving one particular home-made face mask. It's really simple and it also does wonders for your skin. So, let's begin....

I Products: All you will need to create this mask is a banana and a little honey (one tablespoon). This will be kinda like a cooking video LOL This mask is great because it contains all natural ingridients and we all know... nothing can be more healthy and good for you than nature.

Blog News: Twitter

Hi everyone,

I Ellie Goulding- Burn

I first heard this song on the radio and I fell in love with it immediately. It's just so fun and at the same time very gentle and subtle. Also, check out some of Ellie Goulding's other hits: "Lights", "Figure 8", "Stary Eyed";

II Carly Rae Jepsen - Tonight I'm Getting Over You

Do I need to comment here??? Who doesn't love sweet Carly's songs. She is so energetic and her songs 
are just filled with the same enthusiasm and passion.Fot the moment this is a bih favorite of mine.

III Wisin & Yandel - Follow The Leader ft. Jennifer Lopez

This final song is just perfect for summer! It's fun, energetic, hot, and just makes you want to get up and dance. 
Jennifer Lopez is an amazing artist and performer and this is one I have been listening to A LOT this summer... 
and last summer, I think.

So, these are my TOP 3 for today. Stay tooned for more posts soon.

3 Songs of the Day

Hi everyone, 

Here are three random songs that I have been listening to today. They are not exactly the newest hits but they are amazing songs and everyone has days when they just need to go back a few years and listen to some good music. It's not exactly beauty-related, but it's still fun and have fun listening to them...

I. Katy Perry- Waking Up In Vegas

I have always liked Katy Perry, but lately I haven't noticed any new songs from her. That's why I decided to go through some her older ones.... and then I came across this one. I hadn't listened to this one is a while and I was just singing along, dancing and replaying it over and over again. 

II. James Blunt - You're Beautiful

This is such a beautiful song. Every time I listen to it I just remember hearing it for the first 
time from my sister when I was younger and thinking this sounds increadible. I couldn't even 
speak English then because it's not my native language, but even then I just kne that it was a 
very genuine and touching song. 

III. Lana Del Rey - Summertime Sadness

On the whole I haven't been listening to very party songs today, but I don't always feel like that. 
I have heard many people say that they don't like this song, but it always touches me and makes 
me feel a little bit nostalgic inside. And even though it's the middle of summer, this is still a great 
hit to listen to.

These are my top 3 songs for today. What are yours? Leave me a comment and let me know.

Nail it: Fixing a Broken Nail Polish

Hi everyone,

А few days ago I dropped my grey nail polish on the terrace,  the cap  (with a part of the bottle) flew away and I still haven't found it. Luckily, I was able to save the remaining of it before it fell as well. However, the bottle was shattered. It was completely unusable and I had to think of a way to save the nail polish before it had dried, because it was a brand new one and I had bought it exactly two days before. Here is how it looked after the accident =[....

Blog News

Hi everyone,

So, here I am: 2nd August, coming to you with the latest news about 2Ferocious.blogspot.com....

As you may have noticed, there is a poll on the top right part of the page. I thought it would be something fun to try out and I can't wait to see what you answer. I plan on changing the question every week or so and will ask you al sorts of questions: about beauty, fashion, movies, food, etc. I feel like this is a way for us to communicate. I have thought of the questions for the next few weeks and I am soo excited to see what you answer on some of them.

Another new thing in my blog would be the "Search Bar". It is going to help you search through all my posts and by typing a word or phrase that refers to what you are looking for you will be able to see the specific post easy and quick. I am perfectly aware that I have about 10 posts right now, but I hope that in the not-too-distant-future when I have about 200-300 =D this will come in handy.

Also, again with the mindset of making things more organised, I decided to create "Series". By "series" I mean posts with similar content, or ones related to the same thing. For example, yesterday's post was the first post in the Series "Nail it" (get it =D, because it's related to nail polishes). I am thinking of doing this to other posts as well, so that if you are looking for a nail polish tutorial, you can just type "nail it" in the search bar and.... ready. There are definitely some things that need to be rethought, but I am still working on this and hopefully in a few weeks my idea will be fully developed.

I think this is about it for now. New posts are coming very soon =]

Nail it: CraZy StripeZ

Hi everyone,

I really like experimenting with different designs on my nails and I decided to show you one of them. If you like this "tutorial" then I will show you many more. So let's begin....

2Ferocious and Other News

Hi everyone,

I want to start by saying that I am very sorry for not being able to post for a while now. I don't have a satisfactory excuse because I was just too tired and lazy to write... =D However, I have had my break and now I am ready to start again and I am working on some really interesting and fun posts which I think you will enjoy.

Secondly, as you may have noticed already I decided to change the name of my blog. I liked my previous name, but I felt like it restricted me from writing about anything not related to beauty. And don't get me wrong, I loooove beauty and fashion it's just that sometimes I don't feel like writing about products or thinking of new "tutorials". Sometimes I just feel like writing a random post like this one. A few people have asked me why I chose this name "2Ferocious" and they want to know what it means. There is a funny story behind it, but the main reason I chose this name is because I felt like it gave me more freedom to write and it was also something more unexprected and different.

Another thing that I wanted to tell all of you is that I have created an e-mail on which you can contact me and ask me anything you want. Unfortunately, I created it before I came up with the new name, but for now I am not going to change it. It's teenbeautyzone@abv.bg . I will be happy to answer all your letters so don't feel shy.

I guess this was all I had to update you guys about. Stay tooned for more beauty and other posts soon. The first one will be on 1st August.

Top 5 Lip Products

Hi everyone,

    Today I am going to show you my "TOP 5" lip products that I have been loving for this season. I will try to make this post brief and quick to read, but I will show you the products and give you a detailed descriptions. I will also tell you why I like them so much and why I am obsessed with them.

I. AVON's tri-lip gloss in the shade onyx lustre

     I have mentioned this product before in my "Perfect Red Lips" post. This is by far my favorite red lip gloss. It has three parts: a dark red, a black and a light beige. When I first got it I was not sure how it was going to look because of the black, but immediately after I put it on my lips I fell in love with it. The three lip glosses mix perfectly and create this amazing dark red colour that looks increadible. Another thing that I really like is that it is not sticky at all and it doesn't leave you with the very upleasant feeling that other lip glosses do. Also, it has a very yummy smell (like chocolate or something similar) and the brush allows you to evenly put it on, be more precice and not get it all over your face :D.

Fashion Trends: Summer 2013

Hi everyone, 

     So, I am fully aware that this is a beauty blog but I decided to add some fashion in.... =] 
     Today, I am going to share with you the biggest trends that I have noticed during fashion shows lately. I know it's already the middle of summer, but I figured it is better late than never. 

I. Stripes

Without a doubt stripes are huge this season and they can be seen in some of the most famous fashion brands: Dolce and Gabbana, Marc Jacobs, etc. You can wear them in any colour and you can combine them however you choose. This trend is here to stay for the whole summer. If you want to incorporate this trend into your current style without it being overwhelming then I would suggest going with separate pieces instead a whole striped outfit. This way you will look trendy and fashionable but still casual. This way you will feel more comfortable and confident. 

II. Bold Graphics

This is something I have noticed in most fashion shows I have watched. This trend includes everything from bold statement graphics to just a combination of bright colours and shapes. It is definitely something fresh and noticeable and will make heads turn. 

III. Black & White

If you don't feel comfortable wearing bright even neon colours, then you can never go wrong with black and white. Everything in the grayscale is in this summer and even though it is not as fun and playful as the statement graphics it is by far more elegant and sophisticated. If you still, however, want to tone it down and wear it without making it feel too much, then you can just include some colour by adding some fun accessories.

IV. Florals

Do I even need to comment here. Florals have been in for such a long time that it's not even slightly surprising that they are in fashion for this summer as well. I don't see why not, though. I mean they are fun, feminine and they can always add something more to your outfit. This is by far my favorite trend of all times and I looove incorporating florals into my outfits. Sometimes just something as small as a floral headband or bracelet can make a huge difference. 

       So, these are my favorite trends for this season. I hope you enjoyed this post and let me know what your favorite fashion trends for Summer 2013 are.

The Ferocious Critic: Clean & Clear blackhead clearing cleanser - Review

Hi everyone,

       I thought I would share with you my opinion of the Clean & Clear blackhead clearing cleanser. It's the middle of summer and it's really really hot. During this time many girls have trouble maintaining their skin smooth and without any breakouts. I can say from experience that it is always difficult, sometimes even impossible to maintain a flawless skin. This involves everyday care and with most people water does't work. This is why most teenage girls buy skincare products. However, not everything on the market is as good as it is sold to be. This is why many girls (and their mothers) may feel reserved when having to make a choice.
        I haven't tried every product out there, but I can tell you for sure that Clean & Clear's cleanser is definitely worth the investment. Now, I think that there were more than one type, but I have only tried one of them- the blackhead clearing one.
                            
     I do not guarantee about the others, but I can honestly say that this cleanser is a lifesaver. It has salicylic acid, so I don't recommend using it everyday (especially if you have dry skin) because it may cause irritation. It hasn't happened to me, but you can never know. I did not believe it when it said "results from day 1" but have gone through 2 bottles and everytime I use it I am immensely surprised to find my skin looking and feeling better than ever. I have oily skin and it just takes away the exact amount of oil and leaves my skin fresh and renewed. I use it 3-5 times a week and it really helps maintain the oiliness and also controls the breakouts. If I have a breakout I will use this product everyday on the problem area and in a few days the problem will have disappeared.
      On the whole, I think that the Clean & Clear blackhead clearing cleanser is an amazing product and I would definitely recommend it to all my readers. Here is why:
1. It is affordable and does the same (if not a better) job than skincare products which are more expensive.
2. It removes the excess oil from your skin and leaves you with a fresh and clean face.
3. It has an amazing effect on blackheads and any other breakouts because it "dries them out" and they don't get irritated or infected.
4. Used regularly it really helps maintain a flawless skin that every girl dreams of.

       So this is my opinion of the Clean & Clear blackhead clearing cleanser. Hope you found it useful :) Tell me what are your favorite skincare products for the summer.

Makeup your mind: The Perfect Red Lips

Hi everyone,

        For my first beauty post I decided to show you how to create the perfect red lips for summer. I know that many girls feel embarrassed to wear a bold colour on their lips during the school year (myself included), but during the summer you are free to rock that bold lipstick and go wild with all sorts of different colours. However, today I am focusing on RED. I am going to show you how to easily create "The Perfect Red Lips" that everyone will be talking about for days.
          Before I get into it I would like to apologise for the quality of some of the pictures but I did the photos in a rush and I didn't really have time to set the lighting, etc. I will try to make it better next time. So, let's get started.....

I. Products- These are the products I used to create my red lips, but you can use whatever similar products you have at home.

1. AVON Care Protecting Lip Balm with Shea Butter and Almond Oil
2. Golden Rose Lipliner No. 228
3. This is a set of lipsticks which I got at a local store mainly because I thought that their packaging was super cute (when it closes it looks like a strawberry). But you basically just need a bright red lipstick.
4. Golden Rose Liquid Concealer No. 01
5. Optional: AVON tri-lip gloss in the shade "Onyx Lustre"

Again, you don't have to use the same products I have used. You just have to find:
  - a lipbalm that you like;
  - a lipliner in a red shade (it could be darker than mine);
  - any red lipstick (preferably red);
  - a concealer in your shade;
  - a dark red lipgloss;

II. Steps: Here are the four steps in photos (again I apologise for the bad quality) and I am quickly going to explain what each one means:

1. So, the first thing you have to do is to prepare your lips by applying lipbalm. This way they will be soft and the colour will go on more evenly and easily.
2. The second thing you have to do is line your lips with a red lipliner. Here you can also reshape your lips: making them bigger or smaller, depending on what you want to achieve in the end. After you have lined them, go ahead and fill them in evenly.
3. Now comes the main part. With a lipbrush, or if you feel confident straight with the lipstick, start applying you red lipstick. Mine is buildable, so I decided to stop when I felt comfortable with the colour - you should do the same. If you want you can go all the way with an even brighter lip- it's a matter of choice.
4. After you have got your lips in the colour that you want them to, take a concealer (preferably liquid) and go around the edges of your lips to erase any excess lip products. Blend any harsh lines carefully. If you want you can add some dark red lipgloss in the centre of your lips. It will give more depth and definition to your lips while taking away the dry feel of the lipstick.

     Well, this is how easy it is to create "The Perfect Red Lips". I hope you liked it and if try out this look, please leave a coment and share your recreations.

Introduction into beauty....

Hi everyone,

         My name is Hrisi and this is my new blog. I have tried to create a blog a few times already but I haven't been able to find a topic which I find interesting enough to post regularly on. But I think that this time I hit the jackpot. Beauty is something that I have secretly been obsessed with for a long time and it took me quite some time to realize it. I can't tell you how excited I am to show you my beauty tips and ideas. I also look forward to feedback from everybody who comes across my blog and likes my posts. 

        Look out for my first official beauty post soon...

xoxo,
