Beauty: My Hair Journey and Love for 3 More Inches Treatment

During my life I have had several “traumatic” experiences with my hair. Especially as a teenager when I was trying to find myself until I realised what I feel the best in. There were couple of times they cut my hair so short that I cried for days. There were times when I wanted to get rid of red hair colour and not only I had allergic reaction but I also ended up with pink hair after. So at those points I decided I will not listen to hairdressers when it comes to their ideas about my cut and so on. That was my rule. And for a long time I sticked to it. I came to all hairdressers with a vision and did not let them to change my mind. Until few months ago…

A very well known hairdresser said I should do this and that and I left in tears. He cut it way too short and also created layers which I did not know how to work with. Well, lesson learnt. I am now again on a mission to grow my hair and get them to the best possible health.

However, I noticed my hair got much drier and the health wasn’t what it was before. I went through an awful infection about a year ago and my hair lost it’s shine and got much drier during that month. It was a big breaking point for me. It is never good news for somebody that is keen to grow their hair.

This was all until I started to use 3 More Inches Life Saver Pre Wash treatment by Michael Van Clarke. I was invited to try the treatment in the salon and what a pleasant experience it was. Everybody listened to what I want but also even after that one visit I saw a visible change to my hair. So I could not wait to start to use this at home. I have been now using the treatment, shampoo and conditioner for few months and things are getting so much better.

The whole collection of products is fantastic. I use the treatment minimum once a week and you get the best results when you sleep with it. The hair soaks it in so you do not have to worry about wet pillow case. And you simply continue with shampoo and conditioner in the morning. It is silicone-free products and it contains cashmere protein that help to repair the hair. I am not there yet fully with the length and the health but I have noticed huge improvement and that feels amazing.

It is all about getting on the right path and keep the right routine to achieve what you want.

Za svuj zivot jsem si zazila nekolik “traumatickych” situaci u kadernika. Hlavne jako teenager. Jednou me ostrihali tak, ze jsem brecela tydny. Podruhe mi stahovala kadernice cervenou barvu a nejen, ze jsem dostala alergickou reakci, ale nakonec jsem mela vlasy ruzove. Nikdy na to nezapomenu, protoze jsem jela na stredni na vylet do Londyna a komenty na me ruzove vlasy prichazely jeden za druhym. No a tenkrat jsem se zarekla, ze uz nenecham kadernikum volnou ruku. Pujdu si vzdy za svou vizi a z te neslevim. Zkratka budu poslouchat sebe a ne kadernika.

No a to jsem nedavno bohuzel porusila a opet jsem odchazela zklamana. Nebylo to tak dramaticke, ale jeden velmi znamy kadernik, ktere striha a cese ty nejvetsi svetove hvezdy me presvedcil, ze vi nejlepe. Nevedel!!! Vlasy si mi zkratil opravdu mnohem vice a take prostrihal, coz mi uplne zmenilo strih a ja si proste nevedela rady se stylingem. A v ten moment jsem si rekla a dost, chci vlasy nechat rust a pracovat na zdravi vlasu a hydratovat. Pro nekoho nudne, ale hlavni je, ze se to co mate na hlave libi vam. Je to o pocitu a vnitrni spokojenosti. 

Nejvetsi negativni zmenu jsem zaznamenala na vlasech asi pred rokem, kdy jsem dostala silnou infekci a skoncila na mesic v posteli. Prvni dva tydny jsem temer nemohla nic snist a to se opravdu podepsalo pozdeji na pleti  i vlasech. Obecne mam sussi vlasy, protoze jsou vlnite a tohle me opravdu dorazilo. Pro nekoho kdo chce nechat vlasy rust a libi se mu zdrave, dlouhe vlasy je to tohle rana pod pas. 

A tohle vse se udalo predtim nez jsem zacala pouzivat vlasovou masku, kterou si aplikujete pred umytim od Michael Van Clarke. Jmenuje se 3 More Inches Life Saver a je to oblibeny produkt mnoha celebrit. Michael pomaha spoustu znamym osobnostem s rustem vlasu a celkovym uzdravenim. Nejprve jsem navstivila salon, kde jsem si kuru vyzkousela a uz po prvni navsteve jsem videla velky rozdil.

Moc jsem se tesila , az budu produkty pouzivat doma. Nejlepsi vysledek je vzdy tehdy, kdyz s kurou ve vlasech spim. Vlasy krasne produkt nasaji, takze nemate mokry polstar a rano si vlasy vzdy umyju samponem ze stejne rady a potom aplikuji kondicioner. Uspech produktu je hlavne v tom, ze neobsahuje silikon a ma v sobe hodne kasmirovych proteinu, ktere pomahaji obnovit strukturu vlasu. 

Nemuzu rict, ze jsem co se tyce vlasu, tam kde chci, ale uz ted vidim velke zlepseni. Vlasy jsou zdravejsi a nechavam je rust. Tato kura navic prospiva i me citlive pokozce hlavy, prestoze mi bezne mnoho produktu nesedi. Jsem rada, ze jsem na spravne ceste a o tom to je. Takze hura zdravym a dlouhym vlasum a jedeme dal.

Beauty: Welcoming Autumn Glow

Autumn is here and even with cosy evenings at home and crispy days outside I am not willing to let a glowy makeup go anywhere. I wanted to share with you couple of key products I have been enjoying for some time and will be transforming them to colder months as a part of daily makeup routine. The tones fit perfectly this type of weather whether it is colder but sunny day or another rainy afternoon.

Recently I have been using the Guerlain L’Essentiel Natural Glow Foundation and I love it. It gives that natural glow you need. And you probably have seen all over my social media that I am obsessed with Dior Backstage Eye and also Glow Face palettes. They are my holly grail. And of course I love to set everything with my all- time favourite Translucent powder by Laura Mercier.

The rest is all about those perfect final touches and today I have used Tom Ford Brow Pencil together with Eye Liner, Guerlain Mascara, Tom Ford lipstick in the shade Naked coral and stunning Nars lip pencil.

This is a perfect makeup for crispy autumn day like today when you see the sun and feel the crispy air as soon as you step out. How beautiful!

Podzim je tady a s nim i utulne vecery doma a chladne dny a ja jsem se rozhodla, ze se nevzdam glowy makeupu. Pro nektere patri letu, ale ja jsem si nektere tyto klicove produkty tak oblibila, ze je budu pouzivat  i v nadchazejicich chladnych mesicich a budou stale soucasti me makeupove rutiny. Tyto teple tony se hodi jak na slunecne chladne dny, tak na ty vice uprsene a jsou na podzim idealni. 

Nektere produkty jsem pouzivala prakticky cele leto a to hlavne dve paletky od Diora, ktere vidite na fotografii a take makeup od Guerlainu. Strasne me bavi tyto barvy a opravdu pridaji pleti takovy ten lehky trpyt. A pudr od Laura Mercier je jeden z nejlepsich pudru na trhu vubec. 

Tento svuj oblibeny zaklad jsem doladila Tuzkou na oci a take tuzkou na oboci od Toma Forda, ktere patri mezi me favority a take rtenkou od Toma Forda. I prestoze jsou cenove drazsi, musim rict, ze stoji za to, protoze krasne hydratuji a maji nadherne odstiny. Ted si take hodne pohravam s linkama na rty a dneska jsem pouzila tuto krasku od Nars. A nesmim zapomet na oblibenou rasenku od Guerlain. 

Krasny makeup v teplejsich tonech na krasny, chladny, ale slunecny den jaky mame prave dneska v Londyne.

GET THAT SUMMER GLOW

Recent heatwave in London probably created glow on its own on our faces however sometimes you may need a bit of help to do that. Summer is a perfect season for that glowy and natural makeup and I wanted to show you some fantastic products that will help you to achieve that natural glowy look.

Personally I like much lighter makeup in the heat and I prefer lighter foundations or tinted moisturisers. This Laura Mercier is probably the best one I have tried and I have been using it so much. However before I start with makeup I love using this Dior Glow Booster and I also highly recommend the Dior body and face primer if you are using foundation. The primer really helps your skin to look even and more perfect.

Next two products I am absolutely mad about are Dior Backstage Glow Face Palette and Eye Palette. The Face palette has got beautiful shimmery Highlight and blushers and they look so perfect on any summer day. And my Amber Neutrals palette for eyes has got perfect shades for day an evening too.

And to finish things off I love to wear natural lips. This Shiseido Colourgel in the shade Lotus is perfect for that summer glowy look. If you like water mists grab a small size Susanne Kaufman Rose Water to your handbag. and it will keep you fresh and your makeup will last.

Tento tyden zasahla Londyn velka horka a tak myslim, ze takovy ten glow na nasich tvarich byl zkratka sam o sobe. Nekdy clovek ale potrebuje trosku pomoci. Ja osobne mam v lete rada glowy makeup a prirozeny vzhled a tak jsem vam chtela predstavit par produktu, ktere vam muzou pomoci. 

Osobne mam moc rada lehci makeup pokud jsou teploty vysoke a uprednostnuji lehci makeupy nebo BB kremy. Tento krem od Laury Mercier je asi ten nejlepsi, co jsem zkusila. Ale nez zacnu se samotnym makeup, rada pouzivam tento Dior Glow Booster a take muzu doporucit Dior Body and Face Primer. Tento Dior Primer hezky pokozku pripravi na dalsi kroky a vase plet bude vypadat lepe. 

Dalsi dva produkty, ktere jsem si v posledni dobe zamilovala jsou Dior Backstage Glow Face Palette a Eye Palette. Na prvni zminene paletce najdete krasne trpytive barvy na tvare a take rozjasnovace. A ocni paletka Amber Neutrals ma prekrasne odstiny na den i vecer. 

A na zaver rada pridavam lehci barvy na rty s troskou lesku. Tento novy Shiseido Colourgel v odstinu lotus je to prave orechove. Pokud jste fanousky Water Mist zkuste treba male baleni Rose Water od Susanne Kaufman. Je super na osvezeni behem dne a vleze se do kabelky.

Beauty: Current skincare routine


This has been highly requested article and you were keen to find out more about my current skincare routine. As an influencer who is trying lot of new launches my skincare routine changes a lot and I believe it is good. I always say it is like a workout routine. You need to change it after some time to get better results.

What you see here have been my core products I have been using in the last few weeks however it does not mean that I don’t swap a product here and there for few days to tailor it to my needs. I also use face masks, night cream and so on.

After so many years in the industry and also trying out different brands you soon learn that cleansing is so important. The cleaner skin the better and you really see that. If I have just two nights in a row when I only do one step cleansing I can see it. I get breakouts and my skin is far from radiant.  I use mostly two Shiseido products to remove my makeup and clean my skin. You probably saw both of these in my video of the best products of 2018. As an extra touch for cleaner skin I use the La Mer micellar water which is a beautiful product. I love the smell, I love how delicate it is and how it looks.

As you may know I am a lover of Retinol and around 3 times a week I am using these Retinol drops by Rodial. I recently had an amazing luxury Rodial facial and was told that the percentage of retinol is not that huge in this product that I can easily increase it. However I am sticking to three as on other days I am using this fab product by Murad. This serum really grabbed me after I hear so much about it.

And as one of the final steps I hydrate the skin with the Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Cream and I add one drop of this La Mer facial oil. I discovered this trick thanks to express facial at Selfridges La Mer Counter. That is complimentary and you can book it online nationwide. It is a fabulous way how to try their products and decide what suits your skin. And of course I cannot forget about eyes. I have tried many eye creams but this Guerlain one is a gem. I love the consistency as I prefer heavier creams around my eyes and this is it. And to be fair the face cream from the same range is a number one cream I have ever used together with La Mer and Shiseido. See I can never decided on one and only. LOL

Well this is pretty much the core summary of what I use and hopefully you find anything interesting you would love to test yourself.

Tohle byl velmi zadany clanek a vetsina z vas chtela vedet jakou pouzivam kosmetiku a jaka je moje soucasna rutina. Jako influencer zkousim neustale nove znacky, nove produkty a moje rutina se casto meni. Je to zkratka tim co delam, ale i verim v to, ze kosmetika se ma menit. Stejne jako cvicebni program…nic nefunguje vecne a jakmile si vase telo zvykne je obcas treba veci trosku zmenit.

To co tady vidite neni vsechno, ale jsou to takove zakladni produkty se kteryma jsem byla v posledni dobe spokojena. Obcas mam dny, kdy si urcity produkt zmenim podle potreby, ale takto nejak to asi vypada.

Po tolika letech co se pohybuju v oblasti mody a kosmetiky a vyzkousela jsem nespocet znacek jsem zjistila, ze zaklad je opravdu v ciste pleti. Cim vice kroku na ocisteni..tim lepe. Ja casto pouzivam tyto dva produkty od Shiseido a to k odstraneni makeupu a ocisteni pleti. Oba jste asi videli v mem videu Oblibene produkty roku 2018. A k ocisteni take pouzivam i micelarni vodu od La Mer, coz je uzasny produkt. Je tak delikatni a navic skvele vypada. 

Mam take moc rada produkty s Retinolem a asi trikrat v tydnu si pridavam do me rutiny tyto kapky od Rodialu. Nedavno jsem mela moznost vyzkouset uzasnou kosmetiku/facial s produkty Rodial a bylo mi receno, ze obsah retinolu v kapkach neni tak vysoky, tak jej muzu pouzivat casteji. Ja ale rada v ostatni dny pouzivam uzasne serum od firmy Murad. Na to jsem slysela samou chvalu a jsem unesena po par tydnech pouzivani. 

Na zaver plet hydratuju timto kremem od Charlotte Tilbury (pres den) kde pridam jednu kapku tohoto oleje od La Mer. Tento trik jsem objevila nedavno diky express facial v Selfridges a hrozne se mi to zalibilo. Plet neni premastena a je pripravena k nanaseni makeupu. A samozrejme nesmim zapomenout na ocni okoli. Ja mam nejradsi hutnejsi kremy a tento krem od Guerlainu ma presne tu pravou konsistenci. 

Tohle je takovy zaklad z poslednich par tydnu, ale pod rukama mi opravdu projde tolik skvelych produktu. Takze snad jste objevili i vy neco, co vas zaujalo.
