november favourites '11

Hello everyone!

So this is what I've been using the most for the month of November. Make-up wise, It wasn't that interesting as I kept it really simple for Uni etc. Quite basic, every day make up.

1. L'Oreal Elnett Satin Hairspray.
Nothing more to say. Does the job perfectly and smells amazing.

2.Oriflame Essentials Revitalising face cream for normal skin.
I was not as impressed with the one for oily skin which I got in the summer but this one seems better and moisturises my skin quite well. I am willing to buy the one aimed at dry skin to try it out as my skin gets drier during winter.

3.Garnier Intensive 7 Days Repairing Lotion with Shea Butter for Extra-Dry Skin.
Wow, that's a mouthful. Well, I've been loving my BS body butters but this little baby has been helping me moisturise my skin every night, after I get out of the shower. It does the job perfectly and leaves my extremely dry skin moisturised and baby smooth. Plus, the scent is AMAZING!


4.White Musk Eau de Parfum.
I remember sniffing this when I was 13 and immediately falling in love with it. Now, six years later it still remains as one of the most beautiful scents that I ever smelt, and I always make sure that I have one bottle of this on my drawer.

Top notes: velvety musk, floral lily and sensual ylang ylang with hints of fresh galbanum and basil.
Middle notes: velvety musk, oriental jasmine, floral lily and rose.
Base notes: velvety musk, oriental jasmine, floral lily and iris, rose, sweet vanilla, fresh amber, patchouli, oakmoss and vetiver with hints of fruity peach.


5.MAC Strobe Cream.
It has been a favourite for quite some time now. I absolutely LOVE this. I recommend everyone to go and buy it. It's got the perfect sheen. I sometimes use it as a highlighter but most of the time I like using it with my foundation, especially with the one mentioned below.

6.Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation.
I love that it's full coverage, yet does not look cakey at all. It's not matte and it gives a lovely glow to my face, when i first got it I thought it was like a porcelain doll's skin. And I also love the shade (52) It suits my skintone exactly.

7.MAC cream blush in Posey.
In the close up it looks lighter and slightly more peachier.(no idea why)
It's a lovely rosey peach that looks awesome if you fancy some pop of colour to your cheeks. And not to forget, because it's a cream product, it leaves a lovely sheen on the cheeks.



8.Nail Varnishes.
Essie in Trombone: a true blue toned red
Essie in Berry Hard: a true burgundy/burdeaux
Erre Due last minute in 31: a lovely yellow toned/tomato-ey red

product rave/review: Wella New Wave Hairspray

Hello everyone, i hope you're all doing ok! :)

Well, here comes the time where another product has surpisingly amazed me.
To be honest i've never been a Wella fan before, i think most of their hair products especially their hairsprays are mediocre. They smell relatively good, and most of the time are sticky and at the same time do not hold my hair in place, in other words my hair is a mess.

Over the past couple of weeks i've been using this hairpray from their new wave range, that to be completely frank, i got in a hurry because i had run out of hairspray. To cut things short this is a pretty good hair product, for me anyway.





To set the record straight first, i have LOTS of medium hair.Not quite thin and not coarse whatsoever.
It is a bit sticky at first when you spray it but vanishes after a couple of minutes of applying it to your hair( mind the fact that it's a number 5 hold). Its smell is fruity, way better than the previous wella hairsprays' and holds amazingly well. I can use it on my everyday hairstyles to the very complicated evening up-dos(it does wonders in updos i tell you ;))
All in all, it keeps my hair in place but it's also quite flexible.

I would highly recommend everyone to go and try it as it's quite affordable and i reckon quite a few of you will like it


RATING : B+

A Review: Dove Heat Therapy Shampoo & Conditioner

So i purchased these two a while ago and since the first time that i used them, i couldn't stop thinking about making a post about them and telling you guys how awesome they are.

Dove has always been the company i always went back to, when my hair needed extra moisture. It's affordable and does the job amazingly well.
So, the Dove Heat Therapy range is basically for those who frequently heat style their hair.(Like me)
Products Features(taken from amazon.com)
# Dove Heat Defense Therapy Shampoo gently removes product build up and styling residues.
# It is protecting serum with millions of micro particles protects and strengthens hair from damage caused by frequent heat styling.

I always style my hair with heat whether that is straightening, curling or just blow drying. And so i began to worry that this was damaging my hair and i needed something to put the moisture back and give it life again. It's not that i had to invest in a high - end company like Redken or Kerastase because honestly, my hair is quite healthy on it's own, it wasnt that damaged but definitely wasn't as healthy as a few years back. So i just needed a boost and decided to buy these two. Ever since the first use, i could tell a difference, my hair was softer, shinier and had was not lifeless. After a period of using it i can definitely say that this is one of my favourite shampoos i've ever had( Not to mention that is smells A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!). It's back to it's normal state and i absolutely love it, the ends look ok, they're even soft and it's all shiny.
For those of you who use heat styling products, you should definitely purchase this it will leave you speechless. It's quite affordable as well, it only cost me 3.25 Euros for both of them.
All in all, this is a great product to have and will definitely help you regain that healthy look i'm sure all of you are looking for in your hair!!!
