Henara Bronzeshine Shampoo with natural Henna and Walnut - review

I was looking for a shampoo that could bring the shine and life back into my hair, without making it  oilier than it was. And since I was in the close vicinity of the now famous Hello Free Z One Discount store (Soseaua Pantelimon 255), I stopped and checked it out. And of course I left with several products, the most important being this shampoo : Henara Bronzeshine Shampoo. It is in use for some time now so it's time to share with you my thoughts on it.

A new beauty and fashion destination : Debenhams Plaza Romania

My lovely readers I have great news for you today : another Debenhams store has opened its doors in Plaza Romania mall. Oh how happy I am! As I have told you before I am a fan of British brands and stores since my visits to London in 2008 and 2009. And I have long wished for many brands to come to Romania, some did, some didn't. I am still waiting.. I have previously told you about the opening of its first store in Vitan Mall. And now I'm back to show you the store in Plaza Romania Mall.

Lush Jumping Juniper shampoo bar - review

My main issue with my hair is a big one: it's too oily. It is fine, it lacks volume but I can handle it. What I can't stand is its oilyness. This is my almost daily battle. If I wash it in the morning, in the evening my roots are already oily. So I'm always on the hunt for the right shampoo for my hair. 

And yes, I am addicted to dry shampoos, to be more specific to Batiste, especially the XXL version. And it is quite expensive so I really want to find an effcient shampoo that can help me reduce the oilyness and increase the time between washes. I've heard that Lush Jumping Juniper shampoo bar is very efficient for oily hair so I decided to try it. Of course I had to ask somebody travelling in the UK to bring it to me because you cannot find Lush products in Romania .. So I bought two. And finished one. And this is my review.

Batiste dry shampoo Original - review

I have declared a while ago my great love for Batiste dry shampoo Xxl Volume. I adore it, it refreshes rapidly my oily hair and also gives it a boost of volume. In August there was a good offer in all Batiste dry shampoos so I took advantage and bought a few more to have in my stash. I have finished the Batiste dry shampoo Original so now it's time to share with you my impressions on it.

Gerovital Sebum Control shampoo-treatment - review

You know I have oily, fragile, volume-lacking hair. Quite a gem! The worst of all is of course the oiliness. It gets so greasy looking after just one day since washing. I have to wash it every 2 or 3 days or use Batiste dry shampoo to make it look decent. So I'm always on the hunt for special shampoos or treatments to help me with this problem.

Today I will share with you my thoughts on Gerovital Sebum Control shampoo-treatment .

Schwarzkopf Gliss Ultimate Color Express Repair Conditioner - review

I have a difficult hair : thin, tangly and very oily. I have to wash it every 2 to 3 days, or else it looks horrible. So knowing it is how it is, I stay away from styling it too much with too many products and I use conditioner once a month or so, so as not to make it oilier. Once every three months or so I dye it with my favourite L'Oreal ammonia-free Casting Crème Gloss, to make it less oily and more shiny.
   
Recently I have finished Schwarzkopf Gliss Ultimate Color Express Repair Conditioner so it's time I share my thoughts on it with you.

A day of fun at Danamakeup anniversary

Last weekend I had a very pleasant surprise when I was invited to a day of fun and girl-talk by Dana Gramu whose blog  danamakeup turns 4 years in April. And instead of us bringing her presents we were pampered by her and her magic fairies to hair, make-up and nail sessions.
  
It was a grey, rainy day but still we laughed, talked beauty and did our make-up, hair and nails, all in a very pleasant, futuristic and colourful cafe called Senso Cinecafe (Bd. Unirii nr. 15). I loved the atmosphere and of course the coffee there!

Nivea Classic Care shampoo - review

I have had this shampoo for a few months now and only recently I have finished the last one and together with my parents we have started using it. Now we are on the verge of finishing it so it is time I share my opinion on it with you.
  
The Nivea Classic Care shampoo comes in two sizes : 250 ml and 400 ml (the size I have - in the old packaging) and has a valability of 12 months. It is a shampoo designed for normal hair, that mildly cleans the hair keeping it strong and shiny.

So here are some things that inspire me to bring the Spring closer.

Products don't work for you ? Suggestions for resquing them

I don't think there is anyone in this world who hasn't faced the problem of having a new product which doesn't suit them. The sollution is often giving them away to somebody else, keeping them forgotten in a drawer or simply throwing them into the trash.

I wrote some suggestions for you to help you resque the products from the trash and at the same time avoiding wasting the money.

Tired of receiving the wrong gifts? Pick N Dazzle to the resque!

I don't know about you but in the past I happened to receive gifts that were not really my style or taste. You know, somebody who doesn't really know you, they don't ask you or your family/friends about your tastes and they bring a gift ... And it's not for you, you thank them for their thoughtfullness and put the gift at the back of a drawer never to be opened again. And time passes and when you clean out your room, it gets thrown in the trash. A wasted gift ...

Problem: gift somebody I don't really know
Sollution: Pick N Dazzle
