Hair Care Products I’m Curently Using – Quick Review

Hello sweeties!

If last month I posted a quick review of Face Care Products I’m currently using I though I would show you my hair care products. Perhaps you will say there are way to much products but some of them I just finished using last week/ month and I want to mention them because they are great products, others I use from time to time because I’ve changed my hair care routine and some of them I’m using a few times a week.

What you should now about my hair

I need to mention this because even though some of these products did wonders for my hair, they might not work for you. I’m a natural blonde and although it might seem strange for some of you, I’m still wearing my natural color and I never (really, never ever) dyed my hair. I admit sometimes I wanted to try different colors but I gave up knowing that I will have to dye my hair all the time (I really hate when I see roots of different color on other girls) and also because all the stylist I went to recommended me to keep my natural color. Being a natural blonde my hair is very very thin and no hairstyle will resist more than few hours. Even when I go to a hair salon for a coiffure after a few hours (no matter how much hair spray or other fixing products I have on my hair) the result is still the same. My hair will return to its natural state…straight, soft, puffy and just a little bit (only on the left side) wavy.

For years I’ve been using the flat iron, sometimes even 2 – 3 times a week and last year in November I reached a point where I had to stop destroying my hair. I had very serious hair loss problems, my hair was getting thinner and thinner to a point where it was almost transparent at the ends, and using some of these products regularly was the reason why I wasn’t bald already. But even the best products can’t keep up with the flat iron being used so often. Since November 2011 until now I’ve used it only 2 times and my hair is again healthy, has a vivid color, is thicker and most important it doesn’t fall anymore.

As you can see I like to use a variety of products from high-end brands to drugstore products. If you are interested in any of these products please write me in the comments bellow and I can make a full review about the product of your choice.

Revlon Passion Fusion Makeup Collection for Fall 2010

Published on July 18, 2010 in Beauty. 12 Comments Tags: 2010 Fall Collection, makeup collection, Revlon.

Hey Girls!

Revlon has a new makeup collection for fall 2010 called Passion Fusion that has really pretty colors, for eyes, lips and nails. This collection is already available but I think for now can be found only in Australia, but if you already saw this collection in your country please let me know.

I really love these shades so I’m hoping the collection will also be available in Europe. I know there is still time because here we have summer and as far as I know in Australia is the other way around.

Hello again my dears,

As I said in my “Chic returns from Vacation + Photos” post, while I was away traveling and relaxing I also had time to do some makeup shopping.

I decided to make a separate post and show you the products that I’ve bought (I’m sorry, I know the photo doesn’t show very well all the products). It was quite a shopping spree for me and I truly say this is the first time in my life when I go and buy so much makeup. I never had so many makeup products before ( I didn’t had Chicprofile also) since I’m not addictive to makeup and I like to keep all my products in a small makeup case ( I will probably make a photo later).

I usually don’t like to buy too much makeup because I don’t get to use all the products before they expire, but know since I have the blog things have changed because I also receive a lot of products for reviewing.

Review – Anti-hair loss treatment concentrate by Intragen Cosmetic Trichology

Published on September 26, 2009 in Beauty. 21 Comments Tags: anti hair loss treatment, chic review, hair loss, hair treatment, Intragen, Revlon.

I wanted to make this review a long time ago, but I just finished this treatment in February and I waited until now when I bought a new box so I can have my own detailed photos.

When I review something I like to make my own photos with the product. I bought this hair treatment again about a week ago, from the Cosmetic Beauty Hair exhibition that I’ve been expecting it for a long time.

Revlon Anti hair loss treatment Review Anti hair loss treatment concentrate by Intragen Cosmetic Trichology

First time when I tried this treatment was last year, I guess around this time of year. I was desperate because I’ve tried many products and treatments anti- hair loss and nothing worked permanently.

My first try was the hair treatment from Vichy and all it was good until the vials finished. After 1-2 weeks passed from the treatment the problems returned. It seems like they had an anti-hair loss effect only during the treatment, so I needed to try something else.

Everytime I went to beauty salon I’ve asked my hair stylist what anti-hair loss treatment she can recommend me. So, my next try was L’Oreal Aminexil vials. I can’t say that they didn’t helped, but I only tried 10 vials because they were very expensive and I could find them only in beauty salons so I gave up. My hair strength was improved indeed and I’ve noticed that it really had an anti-hair loss effect but as I said I couldn’t keep up with the price.

So there I was, with enough money spent on hair treatments and no long term effect. I also gave a shot to a more natural home method, that I’ve heard to be working on some girls. It was a hair mask that I’ve made myself in home combining some special gas ( double-refined gas specially used for hair that my mother had a hard time finding it), olive oil mask, Castor oil and one yolk. This one was a really good solution but I have to admit that I was to lazy to stick with the treatment. I had to keep this mask on my hair for about 45 minutes before washing my hair. I tried it a couple of times and it really worked but when I finished the special gas and my mother could not find me another one, I had to give up the treatment.

Dark nails

Learn new tricks. Get inspired. Be beautiful !

I hope that you like this come-back as much as I do! I always loved dark nails. Black, dark brown or mysterious purple, you name your favorite, but all these dark nail polish colors gave me the feeling of a mysterious and strong women. They look great on short nails but if you choose some art nail design (with the condition that you won’t color all your nail) you can wear you nails a little bit longer.

The colors

Darker shades – purple, indigo, plum, red-black – are sober and sexy at the same time. Plus, they complement perfectly outfits in neutral colors (gray, beige, brown) so fashionable this fall.

Shape

There is no problem if you want to wear your nails a little bit longer and rounded at the top, but darker nail polishes look better on very short nails, naturally rounded at the top.

Resistance

Only specialists have such a precision to manage not to stain the cuticles when they apply the nail polish. So we would better use first a base coat, then the nail polish, and in the end a top coat that will make the nail polish resist better and have a nice shine.

Here are my nail polishes suggestions for this fall. Karen from MakeupAndBeautyBlog and Michelle from AllLacqueredUp already reviewed some of them, so you are only a click away from seeing these beautiful swatches.

Estee Lauder – black amethyst - 18$
Chanel Le Vernis – 499 Gondola - 23$
Collistar Perfect Nails – 52 Pearl Violet -
L’Oreal Paris Resist&Shine – 705 Deep Grenadine – 7.50 $
Lancome Declaring indigo – 013 Indigo Paris – 21$
Revlon – 570 Vixen – 10$

Beauty Show – Fall 2009 – Hot Lips (part 2)

Contrasts are the law when it comes to color lips this season: you can opt for electric colors, but even for some very dark ones. Common denominator is boldly. As for me, I think I will stick to those electric colors, cause being so white skin dark colors won’t do anything else, then make me look very pale or even Emo style.

Tip: If you want purple or electric pink lips, the eyes makeup should be reduced to minimum – neutral eyeshadow and mascara -, otherwise you will get more a funny look then a trendy one. For evening, when you want a retro-glam look, you can accentuate your eyes and lips, with the condition that you’ll stick in the same color range.

Ruby Rule – makeup idea for New Year

Published on December 31, 2008 in Beauty. 0 Comments Tags: lipstick, makeup, mascara, New Year, Revlon.

Use liner to stop lip color bleeding. Line your upper lip first, from the middle of your cupid’s bow and out. Then line your lower lip. Try Revlon colorstay lipliner in red.
Use a lip brush to neatly fill your lips with a bright ruby red, creamy lipstick. I’ve tried Rimmel London lasting finish lipstick in red hot shade.
Blot lips lightly using a tissue – don’t press lips together or you will risk the color running outside the edges.
For a fuller finish, use a red sparkly gloss like L’Oreal glam shine lipgloss in blush mania.
When wearing strong lip color keep the rest of your makeup understated. Apply a light, matte grey shadow like Miss Sporty mono shadow in grey, over lids and line your upper lash line with a black kohl pencil. Apply lashings of mascara. I love L’Oreal Telescopic clean definition in black.
Sparkly bronzer gives skin flattering shimmer. Try Superdrug solait golden glow bronzer.

Top tip

For longer – lasting lip color, first blend you lip liner all over your lips to stain them and act as a base for the lipstick to cling to.

Delicious lips with Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick

Guarantee lips with attitude by trying the creamy new Revlon super lustrous lipstick in black cherry. Here, a step-by-step guide on how to get seriously seductive lips…

Dab a light layer of liquid foundation or concealer onto your lips before applying lipstick. It makes the lips consistent in color to begin with, and acts as a great primer. Allow a few minutes for it to dry and then the fun can begin…
Use a long -wearing lipliner, such as Revlon Colorstay Lipliner, and outline your lips to enhance your pout. Make sure you start from the centre of your upper lip and follow your natural lip line slowly to the outer edges.

Silver Grey-new makeup style

Published on November 10, 2008 in Beauty. 0 Comments Tags: brush, Clarins, eyes, eyeshadow, makeup, Revlon, waterproof.

Silver grey makeup accentuates your eyes. Wear this shadow in any moment of the day and in the evening transform it in smokie only by a touch of brush. You can get inspiration from the look proposed by Salvadore Ferragamo for this season: silvery eyelids, thin irisations on the inner corners of the eye and “naked” lips. As far as the eyebrows, we won’t be oversolicitating the pincer.

Try yourself:

Sephora Radiance Mist – you don’t want your face to shine, but also not to be very dull!
Lancome color fever gloss
Chanel Fluid iridescent eyeshadow, 6ml. Apply it on the superior eyelids.
Revlon Colorstay 12 hour eyeshadow. Use the most bright shadow to illuminate the inner corners of the eye.
Clarins Waterproof Eye Pencil
Estee Lauder Perfectionist Wrinkle lifting serum, 50ml.
Clinique superfit make-up oil free longwear.
L’Oreal Paris Khol Mineral liner pudre mineral. Line the superior eyelid after you had applied a silvery eyeshadow in a brighter color.
Bourjois Blush tomette d’or.
Collistar silk Effect Loose powder Golden Pearl. After fond de tent, apply powder over the eyelids to ensure the eye shadow’s resistance.
