CO SO SUCHYMI VLASMI V LETE??? HOW TO TREAT DRY HAIR (IN SUMMER)

(Scroll down for ENGLISH, it's in blue writing) 

Aj ked som zacala temou pleti, rozhodla som sa rozobrat teraz aktualnu temu a tou su suche vlasy v lete. Vsetky to pozname (hlavne blondinky) je leto, chodime na kupaliska, k moru a rady sa opalujeme?! Vsak? 
No a po tej vsekej chlorovanej a slanej vode, plus uzasnemu UV ziareniu, prichadzame domov so slamou na hlave... A co s tym? Olivovy olej je skvely kamarat, nielen ze je zdravy do salatov a na rozne pokrmy ale je uzasny pre nasu pokozku a aj vlasy. Po dni na plazi nieje nic lepsie ako osvezujuca sprcha a hydratacia pokozky tela. Tu si ja najradsej doprajem vo forme olivoveho oleja, ktory nanesiem na vlhku pokozku a necham vstrebat par minut. Vasa pokozka bude jemna ako (ako by povedala moja mama) "detska prdelka" ;) Nuz ale co s vlasmi?

Skuste ZABAL Z OLIVOVEHO OLEJA 
1. Na neumyte vlasy naneste olivovy olej - hlavne na konceky vlasov, pozor nie na korienky!!! 
2. Vlasy vypnite do culiku a obalte alobalom. 
3. Na alobal dajte uterak, nech sa drzi teplo pod alobalom, nechajte posobit 30-60 minut,
4. Dokladne umyte vlasy samponom.
5. Oplati sa nasamponovat a zmyt vlasy tak 2-3 krat,
6. Po umyti aplikujte balsam na vlasy ktory nechate posobit 2 minuty.
7. Vlasy vysuste uterakom, pokial mate cas nechajte uterak na hlave 30 minut kym nasiakne prebytocnou vodou z vasich vlasov
8. Na vlhke vlasy aplikujte nezmyvatelny kondicioner - ja pouzivam GLISS KUR Total Repair - Regeneracny expres balsam,
9. Vlasy vyfukajte fenom do sucha
10. Aplikujte serum na suche konceky, napriklad: AVON Advance Techniques serum na suche konceky vlasov
11. Vlasy vytvarujte do pozadovaneho tvaru.

V lete sa zabal z olivoveho oleja oplati robit kazdy tyzden po ostatne mesiace 
staci kazde 3 tyzdne, podla toho nakolko mate suche vlasy ;)

Even though my previous post was about skincare, I decided to write about hair care in this post ;) especially dry hair. 
Summer is tough on hair, specially blond hair. 
Sea, sun, salt, chlorine, UV light, right? We come across them on daily basis while on holidays. What to do when our hair gets dry and bristly on the end of the vacation? I have one very simple remedy and it's OLIVE OIL, ancient Greeks and Romans knew all the benefits of this wonderful oil, they didn't use it only for cooking but for skin and hair as well. 
There ain't a better thing than a refreshing shower and skin hydration after a day on the beach, for me the hydration comes in a form of olive oil. I don't dry myself immediately after shower, I just rub some olive oil on the damp skin and let it absorb for couple of minutes, then towel dry. Your skin is instantly moisturized and nourished and soft (as my mum would say) "as a baby's bum" 

But what can you do with the hair?

Try my olive oil remedy!

1. Rub some olive oil on UNWASHED hair, mostly hair ends not roots!!!

2. Tie your hair up in a bun and wrap aluminum foil on it,

3. Put a towel over the foil, it's gonna help to keep the heat which allows the oil 
   to get deeper into the structure of the hair, leave it on for 30-60 minutes, 

4. Wash it off, shampoo it up and rinse about 3x, 

5. Use a good conditioner and leave in for 3 minutes, then rinse,

6. Towel dry the hair and use a leave-in-conditioner - I use Gliss Kur Total 
    Repair

7. Blow dry the hair,

8. Apply a dry ends serum, I use AVON Advance Techniques

9. All done ;) 

Na trhu su aj pripravky na vlasy ktore obsahuju UV ochranu, su ale dost drahe, vacsinou ich najdete v profesionalnych kadernictvach, nasledujuce znacky maju taketo produkty: L'Oreal Professionnel, Kerastase, Redken, Matrix a Tony&Guy

Co by som vam osobne odporucila najviac je L'Oreal Professionnel Solare Sublime sprej na slnkom namahane vlasy (8,90 €) viete ho zakupit na internete kliknite na nasledujuci link L'Oreal Solar Sublime Spray . Na tejto webovej stranke taktiez dostat celu radu L'Oreal Professionnel Solare Sublime: sampon, vlasova maska a uz spominany sprej.


 It's very important to use hair products that contain UV filters, they are quite expensive but worth it. You can find them in good hair salons or order from the internet. The following brands have products containing UV filters: L'Oreal Professionnel, Kerastase, Redken, Matrix and Tony&Guy, and if you go to Boots I'm sure you'll find more ranges there ;) 

I personally love L'Oreal Professional products, I use them all the time and their Solar Sublime range is to die for, amazing scent, OMG. The Solar Sublime range contains a shampoo, hair mask and a leave-in-conditioner.   

Prajem vam krasne leto, bezpecne opalovanie a lesknucu sa hryvu ;) Najblizsi clanok venujem letnemu liceniu ;)

Hope you're enjoying your summer wherever you are. Next blog post will be about summer make-up ;)  


Dobru noc, pekny den a do skoreho citania priatelia ;)

HOW TO CHOSE THE RIGHT SKINCARE PRODUCTS... AKO SA SPRAVNE STARAT O SVOJU PLET

Ahojte, Hey guys, 

(Scroll down for ENGLISH, it's in blue writing) 

hlasim sa vam opat, tesim sa vsetkym novym LIKE-om na Facebooku a to ze sa vam pacil prvy clanok na blogu ;) 

here I am again, thank you for all the new LIKEs on Facebook and I'm happy to hear that a lot of you liked my first post on the blog. 

V tomto clanku by som sa chcela venovat tematike PLETI. Nechcem vas dlho zdrziavat tak sa pokusim to zhrnut v kratkosti. 

Ako ste sa uz iste docitali na roznych webovych strankach, v casopisoch alebo knihach pozname 

5 typov pleti: NORMALNA, SUCHA, CITLIVA, MASTNA a ZMIESANA. No a potom este mame starnucu plet, o ktoru je potrebne starat sa specialnym sposobom. 

Pre kazdy typ pleti plati rovnaky trojbodovy postup pri cisteni, ale na kazdy typ pleti sa pouziva sa iny druh kozmetiky.

1. CISTENIE PLETI - zbavenie sa make-upu a necistot zachytenych na pleti pocas dna. ( cistiaci gel, mlieko, podla typu pleti - zisti na www.bioderma.sk) vyhnite sa vsak mydlu, ktore vysusa pokozku.  

2. TONIZACIA - pomocou tonik alebo pletovych vod. Tonikom odstranime zvysky cistiaceho pripravku a zemedzime odumieraniu buniek. Takisto pomaha prekrveniu pokozky. 

3. HYDRATACIA - pomaha pleti uchovat si vlhkost a tym aj pruznost/ elasticitu a napomaha predchadzat vraskam. Najlepsi denny krem obsahuje SPF. 

In this post I'd like to talk about SKINCARE. I don't want to hold you up for a long time so I'm gonna stick to base of it.
As you might've already read in magazines, books or the internet there are 5 skin types: NORMAL, DRY, SENSITIVE, OILY AND COMBINATION SKIN. And also with age, skin changes and we have to use different skincare products. 

Skin cleansing has a simple tree step rule for each skin type (but using different products):

1. CLEANSER - removing make-up, dust, dirt, basically anything that could get on your skin during the day, this step is the most important, because if you don't do it, your pores get clogged, you'll get pimples and with time it can cause premature skin aging. You can use either cleansing gel or cleansing lotion) Avoid soap as it dries your skin out. 

2. TONER - is used to remove the residue of cleansing product and it helps skin cells to rejuvenate. 

3. MOISTURIZER - i find moisturizer equally important as cleanser. It helps skin retain moisture and keep it's elasticity, with the right moisturizer your can prevent premature skin aging. The best moisturizers contain SPF. 

Pri cisteni pleti je potrebne NEZABUDAT NA KRK A DEKOLT! Na krku, dekolte a rukach sa prejavi starnutie pokozky najskor (co myslite preco Madonna nosi cyklisticke rukavice? urcite nie len pre modu ;) 

Plet sa da cistit roznymi metodami, na trhu je vela cistiacich emulzii, ktore pleti zbavia make-upu a necistot bez vysusania. Taktiez odlicovacie kremy na citlive partie okolo oci, ja osobne pouzivam emulzie, ktore po napeneni, odstrania uplne vsetok makup aj z oci, len to treba dokonale zmyt vodou. Mnohe moje kamaratky sa ma pytaju ci to nevysusa plet a ci ma nestipu oci, no nie, nevysuje to plet, ved su to produkty specialne urcene na tento ucel ;)

Taktiez si doprajte pletovy peeling pri mastnejsej pokozke raz do tyzdna pri suchej staci raz za dva tyzdne. Plet odstranenim odumretych buniek ozije a bude ziariva ;) 

Ja osobne milujem kozmetiku BIODERMA www.bioderma.com/sk , ktoru odporucaju aj kozny lekari. 

Na ich webovej stranke si mozte pozriet vsetky ich produkty rozdelene na rozne druhy pleti, plus je tam aj online dermatologicka poradna kde sa dozviete ovela viac o vasom type pleti. Ak si ho neviete urcit sami, tato stranka vam urcite pomoze! 

It's very important to cleanse neck and the area below as well, as it is one of the places where age shows first, the second place are hands (why'd you think Madonna wears cycling gloves, I'm sure it's just a smart move to hide her age;)
You can use different products to cleanse your skin, there are many of them on the market these days: special gels, emulsions that won't dry your skin, also cream cleansers (lotions) for sensitive areas like eyes, but be aware that most of the cream cleansers have to be washed off with water, otherwise you leave quite a generous amount of make-up on the skin.
Another very important thing is a SCRUB, I would recommend to use it once a week for all skin types but using specialized scrubs for each skin type. 

To test your skin type visit http://www.prokerala.com/health/beauty/skin-type-test.php it will help you determine which skin type you have so you can chose the right skincare. 
I personally adore BIODERMA www.bioderma.com where you can chose from the variety of ranges designed specifically for different skin types. It also has  Dermatological advice Bioderma Dermatological Advice where you can find out more about your skin type. 

Az mate nejake otazky najdete ma ako vzdy na Facebooku Sophia.Brad.MakeUp, kde mi mozete napisat, pripadne mi mozete nechat koment tu na blogu a nasledovat moj blog ak sa vam paci.

As always you can find me on Facebook Sophia.Brad.MakeUp , if you have any questions please do not hesitate to write, I'll be very grateful for every new subscription or LIKE on Facebook.

A ZACINAME... THIS IS WHERE WE BEGIN (AGAIN ;)

Ahojte, Hey guys, 

(English is in blue writing) 

vitajte na mojom blogu ;) Som velmi podstena, ze ste si ho rozhodli precitat a dufam, ze vas zaujme. 

welcome to my blog, I'm very flattered that you decided to read it and I hope you're going to like it;) 

Tento blog povodne vznikol ako anglicky blog kedze som zila dlho v Irsku. No ako pozeram na situaciu na Slovensku tak je tu velky nedostatok bloggerov, ktory sa venuju kozmetike. 

I started this blog in English as I lived in Ireland for some time, but I decided to write it in two languages (English and Slovakian) because there's not that many cosmetic/fashion bloggers in Slovakia. 

Ja by som vam prostrednictvom tohto blogu chcela priblizit svet mody a kozmetiky. 

I'm dedicating this blog to make-up, cosmetics, fashion and things like that. 

Make-upu som sa zacala venovat uz v detstve, bol to velmi razny skok od hier Barbie s kamoskami k liceniu kamosiek a zalostnym telefonatom ich matiek mojej: "ako to zas ta vasa dcera zmachlila moju";) 
Mala som asi 12 rokov.
Postupom casu doslo aj mojej mamke ze sa chcem vzdelavat v tomto smere (alebo len chcela predijst tym telefonatom od matiek mojich kamaratok), vediet viac o liceni a kozmetike, tak mi kupila knizku o care make-upu, a potom nasledovali dalsie vsemozne knizky a clanky z Cosmopolitanu, ktory som uz v 13 rokoch kupovala mesacne a vzdy som skumala clanky o kozmetike a skusala na sebe rozne typy licenia. 
Studovala som anatomiu pleti a vedela som aky krem sa pouziva na suchu, mastnu alebo zmiesanu plet.
Dokonca som sa chcela vyucit za kozmeticku, no okrem make-upu som nechcela vykonavat ostatne funkcie kozmeticky, tak som vystudovala Obchodnu akademiu a popri skole som zacala pracovat na foteniach s fotografom, ktory robil portfolia zacinajucim modelkam. A od tej chvile som mala pocit ze som nasla svoje povolanie, odstahovala som sa do zahranicia a popri praci som sa stale venovala make-upu az nakoniec v Irsku som si uskutocnila svoj velky sen a robila som vizaz na plny uvazok a takisto som vyucovala licenie a nechtovy design na kozmetickej skole, no cnelo sa mi za domovom tak som sa vratila a teraz vykonavam tuto pracu tu. 

Make-up started fascinating me at quite an early age, it was a very sudden move from playing with Barbies with my girl-friends to doing make-up on them ;) and outraged calls from their mothers: " What the hell did your daughter "paint" on my daughters face???" I was 12 years old at that time. But it didn't stop me ;) (they weren't that angry anyway, the thing that probably bothered them is that their daughters had to walk the streets with that kind of make-up on ;)
I guess my mum realized that this is something that interests me more than Barbies, or anything else for that matter, so she bought me some books about make-up and skincare. I have discovered COSMOPOLITAN at pretty much the same time, there were wonderful pictures of models, make-up and fashion (although my mom did cut out the pages bout sex ;) they didn't interest me anyway at that age ;) ) I was buying Cosmo regularly at the age of 13, and had many books about make-up, I was testing different make-ups on myself, all the looks I saw in the magazine and I was obsessed. I was studying skin anatomy, different skin types, I knew what moisturizers each type should use, etc. I even wanted to go to cosmetology school, but I knew that besides doing make-up and things related to that I wasn't really interested in the other duties of a cosmetician, so I went to business school (smart move btw.:) During studies I started working on photo shoots with a local photographer, building my portfolio as well as the beginner models portfolios. From that moment on I knew I've found my calling. I've moved overseas got an admin job and after work I did make-up wherever I could and finally in Ireland I got to do make-up full-time. I also taught on a beauty school, everything from nails, eyebrow shaping, ... to make-up. I loved it. I was away from home for 8 years then and I was getting a bit homesick, I decided to move home to Slovakia for some time and now I'm doing make-up here, and I also started this blog ;) 

Kedze mesto, z ktoreho pochadzam je pre vizazistku male tak ponukam aj ine sluzby, ako napriklad pomoc pri vybere vhodnej starostlivosti o plet a dekorativnej kozmetiky, hodiny licenia pre zaciatocnikov - ako spravne pouzivat kozmetiku, ktoru vlastnime, dalej je to manikura, a manikura s gel lakom. O vsetkych tychto veciach vam budem pravidelne pisat, teda pokusim sa tak pravidelne ako to len pojde popri mojich povinnostiach.

Vlastne som aj taka mala fanaticka do mody a vsetkeho co sa tyka kozmetiky a skraslovania tela ;) a pestovania zdraveho sebavedomia, ktore mnohym zenam na Slovensku velmi chyba. 

I think I can call myself a fashion/make-up fanatic, basically anything that has to do with beauty products beauty treatments, blah blah blah. Also one thing that lot of women miss is SELF-CONFIDENCE and if God helps me I'm gonna try to help every woman I can to build a healthy self-confidence and  make them realize that with a right make-up everyone can look fabulous! 

Planujem tu pisat rozne rady a typy, a pisat vam o tom co napriklad pomaha mne alebo mojim kamaratkam. tak dufam, ze sa vam moje rady budu pacit a ze vam pomozu k tomu aby ste sa citili skvele vo svojej kozi a  aby ste vyzerali doslova NEODOLATELNE. ;) 

I want to dedicate the main content of this blog to tips and advices about what products to use, different products reviews etc. I do hope you'll find this blog helpful, and that it would help you to feel great in your own skin and look IRRESISTIBLE!!!
