REVIEW: Cattier Lip Care – My favorite average lip balm
Why do I love the Cattier Lip Care Balm? Although the balm isn’t 100% BIO, it does contain 100% natural ingredients of which 52% are BIO. So it is pretty safe to use it on your lips in the long run. The Cattier lip care doesn’t smell funny (unlike other balms…). Its scent is discreet and seems natural (doesn’t taste like medicinal herbs either). Its smell and taste are really pleasant. It is non-sticky. I hate lip balms that are too fluid and sticky. It just feels right on the lips. I also like the green and white package. Since I tend to use a lot of lip balm, I prefer…

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…

Fav nail polish color: Rimmel London “Berries and Cream”
Over the years I got quite the “collection” of nail polish colors. Almost 10 years ago I saw this photo and I thought it looked very nice and I must have something similar to it. I didn’t get the cat, but I got the nail polishes 😀 Anyhow, years passed, many little bottles went to trash, others took their places, but I realized (as I’m sure most girls do) that I only use one or two colors, while the others rest unused until they dry out. The nail polish color I used most was a dark “browny” red from a local brand and it was really bad, chipped instantly and…

REVIEW: Kerastase Touche Finale Polishing Serum
The Kerastase Touche Finale Polishing Serum was the most expensive hair serum I’ve ever bought. I paid 36$ for 30 ml. Before buying the product, I watched many of the Kerastase’s own hair tutorials and it seemed that the product makes wonders. I am writing this review after I used almost all of this product, so this is definitely not a first impression review. Also, I took this photo below after I finished the Kerastase serum and bought a new, Wella, serum. What does Kerastase Touche Finale Polishing Serum promise to do? On their website it sais that the product is: “A high-shine polishing serum that perfects all hair surfaces with touchable…

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: Yves Rocher Sérum exceptionnel – Cheveux sublimés & fortifiés
I always use some kind of serum for my hair, but I am never satisfied by any of them, so I always look for something better. This time I bought the Yves Rocher Sérum exceptionnel – Cheveux sublimés & fortifiés, the motto meaning that it should make your hair stronger and nicer looking. I was very disappointed with this product because it did absolutely nothing for my hair, except making it a little bit sticky. It didn’t prevent split ends, it didn’t calm my frizzy hair, it didn’t make it more shiny or “sublime” and my hair definitely didn’t feel “stronger”. Also, because this is a sticky serum, I had trouble…

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: Rimmel London 60 Seconds – Does it work?
I am a big fan of Rimmel London nail polishes. They have beautiful colors, they are cheap and they don’t damage too much the nail and don’t chip easily. Rimmel London has a special type of nail polishes, called “60 Seconds” and I think another type called “60 Seconds Super Shine” but I am not sure if there is a difference between them or not. So, the real question here is: Does it really work? Do nails actually dry in 60 seconds? Well, yes and no. Mostly no. They dry in almost 60 seconds only the first time you open the bottle (right after you’ve bought it) and only if you’ve…
