DIY Hair Mask

Hi,

I recently saw a really interesting video on how to make a hair mask out of coconut oil and jojoba oil which I really wanted to share with you!






I was already using both kind of oils on my hair before I saw this video, but never this much and mostly not combined. But since I already had both of the oils I decided to try it out at once after seeing this vid. And guess what, it is really just as wonderful as she said in the video! I've used it twice in the meantime and the second time my hair was a lot shinier and softer than after the first time, which means it also benefits your hair on long terms. My hair didn't look as beautiful as Kayleys, but I maybe when I use it more often it will.

A Very Small Shoplog

Hi,

Today I'll write a veeery short shoplog about what I bought in presales. It's not a lot, but better than nothing, right!



The only clothing item I bought is this oversized cropped top from Pull and Bear. It's a rather basic one I think, but I lacked some basic items in my closet so let's say I kind of needed it. I wore it a couple of times already and I'm totally in love with it! It's very comfy because of the wide fit but still so stylish.



The second thing I bought is this super cute little book. I needed something to use as a picture album (call me oldfashioned, but I prefer having my pictures printed out) and this one is just so adorable!

I know it's not a lot but I hope you enjoyed my post anyway. I'll definitely be writing a real sales shoplog too and that one will be bit longer and a bit more interesting :)

Essence Galaxy Lights Topcoat

Hi,

One of the things I got in my Essence Nail Advent Calendar was this topcoat called 'Galaxy Lights'. It's this almost transparant nail polish filled with little glitters. Since these glitters have this beautiful pink sheen, I decided to put this pink nail polish underneath (it's from Essie and the colour is called 'Need a Vacation').



I love these two combined! This topcoat is very subtle, but from up close you can see its pretty glittery effect, which is like a nice surprise. I wouldn't say you need to get this topcoat, because honestly: it isn't that special. But it's something nice to change up your regular nail polishes with.

Baby Powder as a Dry Shampoo

Hi,

We probably all agree that greasy hair is one of the most annoying things ever. It's just makes you feel very gross... Unfortunately, my hair gets very quickly greasy. But washing you're hair at a daily basis isn't good for your hair at all. And lets be honest here: dry shampoo isn't too great for your hair either. So I was searching for some alternatives and I read baby powder is often used as a dry shampoo. I really wanted to try this out, because baby products are in general a lot better for you since they consist less of any harsh chemicals than other products.

I bought this baby powder from Zwitsal. You need to sprinkle a bit on your hair, which as first looks a bit crazy, but after you massaged it in your roots you can't see any of this white powder anymore. I think it definitely does make my hair less greasy. But it doesn't last the whole day and who has time to reapply this? Well, no one does! And it doesn't leave you feeling fresh or anything... It does smell nice though, but that's like the only thing I really love about it. So I was a bit disappointed... Don't get me wrong, it does work, but not as miraculous as everyone seemed to say.

Six Hair Ties

Hi,

I know I'm doing these way too much, but I'll give you another hairtie review today! It's just that I was trying out as many special hairties as possible over the last half year.

So again the main raison I bought these is because they don't have the metal part which causes hair breakage. These hairties were from Six and I think they were about €2. Since my last hairties were all neon coloured I tried out black ones again.
They are about the same qualities as the bright coloured ones from H&M. They don't hold up my hair as well as most regular hairties so you can't make every hairstyle with them.
Another disadventage is that they're not that comfortable to wear around your wrist. Mainly because they're pretty small so it hurts after a while.
As you can see on the picture thet stretch out a little bit but it is actually better than it looks. Mostly when you take then ot of your hair they're stretched out a lot but after a while they go back to their normal size (which my friends call magic). This is a great adventage because you can wrap them around as many times as possible without totally ruining them.

So not the best hair ties ever, although they look pretty fancy...
