Garnier's Ultra Doux Mask Henna and blackberry vinegar for brunette and chestnut shades

Garnier's Ultra Doux mask with henna and blackberry vinegar for brunette and chestnut shades.

It made my dark hair so silky and tangle free. What won me over was its great fragrance. I adore blueberry and the fragrance of this product is sweet but not nauseating. It smells so good that you’d rather eat it than use it for your hair.It isn’t liquid/runny, it is more on the creamy side. Although I am usually not a big fan of Ultra Doux line, this mask really was a nice surprise worth using despite my preference for natural products. Thanks to this product I saw the difference, it has made my dermatitis much better, no more itching scalp and my hair became much silky and shinier than it used to be.

I couldn't find all the exact ingredients for this mask, which is sadly a bit chemical, but even the shampoo and the conditioner contain some chemical stuff in it as well.

Garnier Ultra Dolce - Hennè e aceto di mora - Maschera Nutriente
Trattamento brillantezza e lucentezza per i capelli bruni. Crema ricca all' hennè e aceto di mora.
Dona lucentezza e ravviva i riflessi. Capelli scuri naturali o colorati.
Vera ricetta di lucentezza e brillantezza per capelli castani e bruni, la nuova gamma Garnier Ultra Dolce unisce l' Hennè, rinomato per ravvivare e intensificare i mille riflessi dei capelli scuri, all' Aceto di Mora, rinomato per la sua azione ultra brillante.

Risultati
1) dopo lo shampoo, applicare generosamente fino alle punte.
2) Lasciare agire 3 min e risciaquare.
3) in caso di contatto con gli occhi, risciacquare immediatamente.

Risultato: senza essere appesantiti i capelli sono nutriti, incredibilmente morbidi e brillanti. Mai uniforme, il colore rivela la varietà delle sue nuance ed una luce irresistibile.

Ha reso i miei  capelli così setosi e meno grespi. Ciò che mi ha conquistato di questo prodotto è la sua fragranza di mora che adoro così dolce ma non stucchevole. Ha un tale buon profumo che preferiste mangiarlo piuttosto che applicarlo sui vostri capelli. Non è liquido/acquoso, è piuttosto cremosa. Nonostante io non sia una grande fan della linea Ultra Dolce, questa maschera è stata una sorpresa che è valsa la pena utilizzare anche se solitamente preferisco prodotti più naturali. Grazie a questo prodotto ho visto la differenza, ha migliorato la mia dermatite, non più prurito al cuoio capelluto, e i miei capelli son diventati più setosi e brillanti del solito.

Non sono riuscita a trovare esattamente tutti gli ingredienti di questa maschera che è tristemente chimica, ma anche lo shampoo e il balsamo contengono ingrendienti chimici.

Review: Lancôme Hypnose Drama

Ste 1) Create lashes with up to 70% more visible length* with the IFX lash boosting brush.
Step 2) Add a flash of one of the season's hottest hues for a subtle yet eye-catching finish."

"Il nuovo mascara Beyond Length, 

l'ultimo arrivato della famiglia Masterpiece, abbina una lunghezza estrema ad un tocco di colore perlato. Secondo la make-up artist Pat McGrath, è uno dei segreti essenziali da backstage: un mascara doppio, di semplice utilizzo, che agisce in due fasi.

Fase 1) Crea un effetto ciglia allungate del 70%* grazie all'applicatore IFX.
Fase 2) Colora il tuo look e sottolinea il tuo sguardo con le tinte più cool della stagione!"

Beauty Haul - Benefit, Too Faced, Clinique, Yes To carrots

Recently I went shopping at Sephora and I FINALLY got some really nice high end beauty products that I've been wanting to try for a long time now, but I just now actually bought some.

I told myself I wasn't going to do too much shopping during sales season, but I think we all knew that was an unattainable goal for me.

Recentemente ho fatto shopping da Sephora e ho finalmente acquistato alcuni prodotti di bellezza "high end" che bramavo di provare da lungo tempo, ma li ho acquistati solo ora.
Mi ero promessa di non fare troppi acquisti durante il periodo di sconti, ma lo sapevamo tutti quanti che era un obiettivo per me irrealizzabile.

essence trend edition “floral grunge”

Opposites attract! The new essence trend edition “floral grunge” unites floral,
feminine elements with cool grunge accents in April and May 2013. Soft and intense

eyeliners with a velvet or stud look and the hair powder for eye-catching color in your
hair are absolute must-haves. Smells like spring spirit!
