Long time no see. Studying for university exams is a full time job. The good news is I'm on holiday (kind of, I still have some exams in June) and I plan to relax and do nothing. Being a student is amazing but it also comes with a disadvantage (at least for me) which is the extreme levels of stress and the inability to disconnect from it, I'm always thinking of what I have to do. But now I'm relatively calm and very excited for the 1st of July because I'm going to Sweden to spend the summer there. Anyways, I wanted to show you some things that I bought or received lately.
My mother gave me this hair oil by L'oréal for straight hair. I've used it a few times and when I do use it my boyfriend comments my hair looks so nice and loose. I haven't been using it long enough to notice big differences in terms of health in my hair or nutrition but I do think it makes my hair look very shiny (in a non greasy/oily way) and light weight. I have oily hair so I'm very careful with what I put in it because I don't want it to look dull and lack-luster but this one doesn't make it feel heavy or sticky at all.
I have been using the pore refiner by Bioderma for a while now because I received a lot of samples with my last purchase at the pharmacy and I loved it so much I decided to get the full size. This thing is amazing, for real! I have really oily skin and this product makes my face matte throughout the entire day (well at least from morning to afternoon, which is usually the time I wear makeup for). I totally recommend it and I'll be doing a review about it on the blog soon-ish. The micellar water came as a gift if you purchased the pore refiner. I have tried their micellar water from the Sensibio line and loved it, this one from the Sebium line I've never tried but so far I don't see a big difference besides the fact that it has a green pigment in it which isn't something I like since pigments irritate my skin. Hurry if you really want to get it because the shop that I liked in the name is doing a 1/3 off price on Bioderma.
My boyfriend bought it for me after knowing I was after testing it out. So far I'm very unimpressed but I so want to like this, I want it to work. I don't see it working very well for me but I'll give it a few more shots to prove its worth.
Shapewear - Shorts and Skirt Slip
I also ordered these two shapewear items from LaRedoute since I was looking for something to wear under tight dresses. This saturday I'm going to my best friend's graduation ceremony and these came just in time for that. The shorts were a PAIN to get into. Mysteriously enough, once they were on they were so comfy I didn't want to take them off. Weird stuff. They provide great control so I'm going to keep them. The skirt has its problems so I'm going to give it back. It's too short so it fits weirdly above my waist leaving me with some hanging fat over it. Not a cute look.
A lot of people don't know this but if you save the packaging of your Lush products after 5 pots you can go to the shop and get yourself a free fresh face mask, which I did today. I've never tried a Lush face mask because they don't last very long but since it's free who am I to say no! I got the Cupcake face mask because I've heard great things about it and the girl at the shop also recommended it for me. I tried it today for the first time and I only have two things to say so far: 1) it smells really bad and 2) it made my very dehydrated skin super soft so that's a win for me. Will write a review in the future when I have a formed opinion on it.
Have you tried any of these products? What did you think about them?
