REVIEW: J’adore Dior Long Lasting or Not?
I never really understood the purpose of not-so-long lasting perfumes. Cheap perfumes last only one-two hours. What could I do with this time? If I go somewhere it takes me at least 30 minutes to reach the destination… well, anyhow, bottom line: I really do like long lasting perfumes. Before the J’adore perfume, I had a bottle of Alien from Thierry Mugler. Every time I wore that perfume, people told me how nice I smelled…. like 12 hours later. LOL. It really was long lasting. Unfortunately, I didn’t particularly like the smell (although it is a very beautiful smell, I felt it somehow didn’t suit me 100%). Also, sometimes I felt that…

REVIEW: Korres Shampoo Almond and Linseed for Dry or Damaged Hair
I got this Korres Shampoo Almond and Linseed from a drugstore. It was the first time I saw somewhere this brand. I got the shampoo for dry/damaged hair, which contains almond and linseed. The bottle looks like this: It was a good shampoo, I didn’t get dandruff from it, nor split ends. It was a pretty good experience. I didn’t buy it again because it didn’t impress me either. It was just one of the many other OK shampoos. I continue my quest in finding the perfect shampoo for my hair, but if you don’t really care, then the Korres shampoo is definitely a good choice.

REVIEW: Moroccan Oil Shampoo after 1 Month of Usage
There are several types of Moroccan Oil Shampoos: Moisture-and-shine Shampoo Fragrance Originale (and another 2 types of fragrances) Hydrating Shampoo Repair Shampoo Smooth Shampoo Color Shampoo Curl Enhancing Shampoo I’ve been using the first one, the Moroccan Oil Moisture and shine Shampoo, the one with the original fragrance and I’ve already written a first impression review about this Moroccan Oil Shampoo. That review contains also my impressions about the Moisture and shine conditioner, which I’ve been using together with the shampoo. Now, after 1 Month, my thoughts about this shampoo are: it smells amazing; the foam feels nice and luxorious; good for fine hair it is gentle with the scalp (the Moroccan Oil Shampoo is…

REVIEW: Moroccanoil Body Moisture & Shine Shampoo + Conditioner Fragrance Originale
I used a few times the Moroccanoil Body Moisture & Shine Shampoo and the Conditioner (both “Fragrance Originale”), so here are my thoughts about them. Keep in mind that I have thin, long and frizzy hair. These products are suitable for all hair types, but the review is written from my (hair’s) point of view. General opinions Even though it doesn’t have an astonishing effect on hair (let’s get real, no shampoo in this world will have such an effect), it really did make my hair look better and it was noticeable, not only by me, but also by my husband and my friends. These are some pricey products. I am…

REVIEW: Alfaparf Milano Lisse Design Keratin Therapy – KERATIN REFILL
I tried this Alfaparf Milano Lisse Design serum because a friend who has very beautiful hair (sleek and shiny) recommended it to me. She told me this serum makes wonders, so I used it just the way she uses it. Here is a photo with the products (she also lent me an argan oil). Lemi tried them first and was satisfied (as you can see, he’s got amazing fur), so I was very keen to try them myself. Before washing my hair, I also applied some argan oil (just as she does) and I left it for about half an hour, then I washed my hair with shampoo and applied…

REVIEW: Wella Oil Reflections – Luminous Smoothing Oil
In my quest for finding the perfect hair serum, I decided to give a try to the much acclaimed Wella Oil Reflections – Luminous Smoothing Oil. On Wella’s website, they say it is suitable “FOR ALL HAIR TYPES” and that it is a: Versatile perfecting oil for hair smoothness and glossy effect, with macadamia and avocado oils. Again, on their website, all the reviews are great. But it is their website, so it is not difficult to write the reviews by themselves. I never trust this kind of reviews, but I still bought it because Wella is known as a good quality brand. There are a few good things about this…

REVIEW: Sabon Body Lotion Delicate Jasmine
When I was a teenager I never understood the meaning of body lotions. I had zero problems with my skin and only in winter I had to use some hydrating cream for my face, but never for my body. My skin was never dry. But… as time passes, each winter my skin gets drier and I have to use tons of body lotion. Unfortunately, not all of them are as hydrating as I wish they would be, but this Sabon Body Lotion is definitely one of the most hydrating body lotions I’ve ever used. So, what I liked about the Sabon Body Lotion: one of the most hydrating body lotions very fast…

REVIEW: Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum
I got this hair serum hoping it would make my hair: smooth, condition and seal hair strands wonders to make hair silky, shiny and frizz-free in any weather These statements are written on Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum’s web page. I generally don’t believe in “wonders” and I don’t like when companies promise “miracles”, but I couldn’t find anything better, so I bought this Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum. I have long, thin, very frizzy hair. Serums generally work better for thicker hair, but I really hoped it would do something for my hair. But after using it… I was like: Yeap. It did almost nothing. The frizz was still enormous. Also, after…

REVIEW: Yves Rocher Face Cream – Day ELIXIR JEUNESSE
I received a sample of this cream on my first purchase from Yves Rocher. On their website it has the following description: Yves Rocher Face Cream – Day, REPAIRS SKIN AND PROTECTS AGAINST POLLUTION, Repair + Anti-pollution, ELIXIR JEUNESSE I am not a big fan of face creams and I will probably not buy it again, but I did use it on my face and all I can say is that: The hydrating action is moderate and the skin might feel a little bit greasy afterwards. The skin absorbs it in a moderate amount of time. It is a cream, kind of thick. Definitely not a gel, a serum or…

REVIEW: Yves Rocher Brillance (Shine) Hair Conditioner
I bought this hair conditioner from a local Yves Rocher store, hoping it will make my hair soft and shiny. I payed 4 EUR on it, so it wasn’t very expensive, nor very cheap. What I liked The price is OK. It has 98% natural ingredients. The hair looks slightly shinier, although there is no miraculous effect. It has only 150ml, but it lasts long. What I disliked The first time I used it, it had an average smell. Then, it just went worse and worse. Now it smells like dead fish. Happily, the smell washes off and it doesn’t persist in the hair. Maybe the bad smell is because of…
