Review - Nivea Tinted Moisturiser.

The Nivea Visage Tinted Moisturiser (TM). Well what can I say? I've been using this product for 4years now and there is a reason why I'm still using it today. Religiously. I give this TM a rating of 4 out 5.




PROS.
  • has a lightweight feeling. it's not as heavy as the normal foundation.
  • i have oily skin, but this TM gives me a shine-free face.
  • has SPF protection.
  • very affordable at only $7.00 NZD.
  • it is non-comedogenic - meaning, it does not block pores.
  • has a nice smell, non-offensive.
  • and it adapts to your natural skin color.

CONS.
  • you have to put 2 layers if you want a good coverage.
  • it stains your clothes. i advice that after using this product, rinse your hands with water before handling any object (or clothing).
  • it only comes in one shade of color.

tips to get silky hair without your weekly visit to the hairdresser

So for all you hair fanatics out there, here are some tips on how to achieve glossy looking hair without visiting your hairdresser. It'll save you money, time, and maybe petrol if you're driving there. Haha :P

  • After shampooing and conditioning, only wash your hair with cold water, as it seals the hair cuticles which makes your hair oh so sparkly ;)
  • Always, and always use heat protection for your hair whenever a hairstraightner, blowdryer, or hot rollers are involved as it can help prevent your hair from getting fried and frizzled from all that heat overtime.
  • Make sure that when you blow dry your hair, point the nozzle of the blow dryer down towards the lengths of your hair and not against the growth of your hair as it can give you a frizzy/fuzzy look unless you're going for the "bed head look," but otherwise, always point it downwards.
  • Use shine serum to finish off your look after styling.
  • Use the L'Oreal Glossy Rich Hair Color as it has natural ingredients that can make your hair look glossier than normal. If you only want glossy hair without the color, then choose the same shade as your hair color.
  • Most importantly for a shiny healthy looking hair, girls, don't starve yourselves as proper nutrition has a huge effect on how you look on the outside. So, if you want naturally beautiful hair, eat healthy and get a dose of your fave fruit and veggies daily :)







Just a Thought ❤

Lately I've been thinking about fashion and how it has evolved throughout the years, and it may be obvious or not, but the trends are just going around in circles. Like, the fashion today is nothing new or refreshing, i.e. it's vintage..like hello? what does that mean? It means that its something already done before. Then what's with the blonde hair red lipstick? Wayyyy overdone these days. I'm not against it or anything but could this be it? Could this be that fashion has hit a "dead end?"...

..It just makes me wonder what the next big trend is next season,is it something new to the fashion industry or just another trend reinvented? I guess we'll all just have to wait and see.










Be URself.

Hey girlies! I just wanna say that the real key to beauty is self-confidence and being comfortable with who you are :) No more words needed. It's pretty self explanatory..
