Inecto Pure Coconut Smoothing Hair Serum

Hi,

I recently discovered a new brand in Kruidvat(= a Dutch drugstore) called Inecto. Their products are paraben free and mostly made out of natural ingredients. I'm all about natural products, but they're mostly not avaible at the drugstore. So I'm very excited to try this brand out! They don't sell a huge range to chose from in Kruidvat (yet). There is only a shampoo, a conditioner, a hair mask and a hair serum avaible. I wanted to buy it all, but since it might not work I decided to try one of their products out first. So I chose the smoothing hair serum made out of 100% pure coconut oil.

I expected it to be like the Yves Rocher Nutrition Hair Repair Balm, which is my favourite hair product ever. But it's nothing like it, since it's an oil. So I rather not use it on dry hair, but on towel-dry-hair. After washing my hair I usually use the Dove Pure care Dry Oil with African Macadamia Oil, but I think it's nice to have an alternative to switch it up once in a while.

I have used coconut oil on my hair before as a mask and it does wonders! My hair has never felt as soft, been as frizzy-free and looked as healthy as after I let coconut oil soak in my hair for lets say 30 minutes. I do think it's a bit messy, since you're working with an oil. And I also think it's hard to wash out of your hair. This hair serum is somehow a lot easier to use.

But I don't see the same results as with using coconut oil as an hairmask. Don't get me wrong, it is great, just not as great. But I still love it. It kind of has the same effect as the Dove Pure care Dry Oil with African Macadamia Oil: it makes my hair frizzy-free, less dry and just a lot healthier in general.

This product also has an amazing scent. Which I didn't expect it to be, because I don't like the scent of coconuts at all. It still smells kind of coconutty, but to me it smells more like biscuits.

So I really recommend it as a hairoil. If you don't use a hairoil yet, I also really recommend you to start doing it! I see so many differences with my hair now and a year ago, before I started using hairoils. My hair is a lot healthier and less frizzy! Even if you don't have dry or frizzy hair, I still recommend you to try it out. And it doesn't make your hair greasy (except if you use way to much or if you use it on your roots, if you just use a little amount on the ends of your towel-dry hair, it won't be greasy at all).

Femke's Lookbook: My Workout Outfit

Hi,

Today I wanted to do something different and show you my workout outfit, because I know you guys love to read workout related fashion posts. And I do too, because wearing something you like while working out gives you a lot more motivation. So this is the workout outfit I've been wearing a lot lately.



I recently bought this Nike sportsbra on Asos and I love it! I love its fun and colourful pattern. The picture doesn't show of how bright it is in real life. It also fits perfectly and does its job to keep the ladies in place while sporting.



These basic shorts are from H&M. I whish I had special sportshorts as well, but damn sportwear is expensive, so now I sport with these shorts who work just fine too.



And these shoes you've probably seen a lot before, because they're my Nike Rosh Run ID's and they're basically my favourite shoes ever. And besides wearing the with casual outfits, I also love to workout in these shoes. They are very comfortable and I love them specially to go running.

That was my workout outfit, hope you liked it!

Rituals Yogi Flow Foaming Shower Gel

Hi, 

I recently reviewed the Rituals Honey Touch body cream, which I love. This foaming shower gel is from the same range, because it has the same ingredients in it: Indian rose and Himalaya Honey. So it also smells kind of the same: very sweet and flowery. But this foaming shower gel is called Yogi Flow. I love that they give every product a different name. This proves that Rituals really put a lot of thought in there products. 

Maia once already reviewed the Yogi Flow foaming shower gel, but that's a long time ago and the ingredients actually changed now! Back than it contained Indian rose and sweet almond oil, which also sounds pretty great. Another thing I love of Rituals is that they use (mostly) natural ingredients for there products. But okay, so I don't know why they've changed the sweet almond oil in Himalaya honey, but I guess it probably smells kind of the same now as back then, because both the sweet almond oil and the Himalaya honey are sweet scents.

The product itself is awesome. It foams a lot, which makes you first of all use less of it and second of all it's just a lot of fun to use! I really love Rituals' foaming shower gels! And I think I prefer them over any other shower gel.

Maia has also reviewed the Sunrise foaming shower gel, so maybe you would like to read that post as well if you're into these foaming gels just as much as I am!

Essenza's Watermelon Lip Balm

Hi,

I recenlty bought myself a new lip balm at Essenza. It only costed about €2 and the package is so cute that I just couldn't leave it! It has a watermelon smell, which is heavenly, and it also tastes really sweet. 

I also  really like the bright color it has! You don't see much of it after applying it, it just leaves a glossy shine. This lipbalm contains vitamine E in it, which keeps your lips healthy and shiny and helps to repair damage from sunrays.

Essie Blanc

Hi,

So I made this promise to myself to invest in better quality nail polishes. And since Essie is one of the most popular brands of nail polish, I really wanted to buy one of their nail polishes. So I went for the colour 'Blanc', because I've never been able to find a very pigmented white nail polish.

And yes, this is a very pigmented white! I got perfect white with only one coat! So just for that I think Essie is worth its more expensive price.

I also expected this nail polish to last a long time, but unfortunately it didn't... It only stayed perfectly for 3 days. So I'm quit dissapointed about that... Not that I've ever found a nail polish to last me longer than 3 days.

I did expect that the Essie nail polishes would last me longer, but besides that I'm pretty happy with this brand. Their nail polish isn't only very pigmented, I also love the brush and the way it applies on your nails. So I think I'm still going to invest in their products.
