MANGO

While checking the stunning Miranda Kerr models for Mango campaign, I found this very Isabel Marant piece. It actually kind of the same with the print of this season, but with a much more affordable price!

Find it on Mango's website or here xx

HAIR CARE

Haven't update the blog for awhile, I want to do something different. I have always keen on beauty products because what I think is we should take good care of every part of our body. [I just want to share what I use for my hair and skin. Sorry for my bad English writing skills though]

I used to ignore hair care, I just can't be bothered and I just don't get it. I was wrong though. I swim every single morning during summer because it makes me feel better and I feel more energetic to work. Also, I like sun-bathing. These activities had done enough damages to my hair: split-ends, dry hair etc. 

I have thin and fine hair that I need shampoos which can volumize my hair to make it look more. My mum bought me this shampoo from lush years ago: Cynthia Sylvia Stout shampoo. Its main ingredient is beer, which is best known for create shiny hair with added volumes. I was so happy, it was my saviour. For conditioner, the sale lady recommend to mix American Cream and Veganese together. I cannot remember why. But sometimes when one or the other ran out, I solely use one of them. And I spotted a difference that my hair was flatter. So I must mix them together. (To mix them, simply add equal amount of both conditioners into a container and shake it well.) What's more, it smells dee-vine and the smell stay for a day or two. 

Last summer, I was in the lush store and asking for advices because of all the bleaches and chemicals in the pool, my hair started to get worse. It tangled even though I have just comb them. Also, I think I need to deep cleanse my hair in order to rinse away the chemicals remained on my hair. The Big Shampoo contains sea salt and acts as a deep cleanse and lift for my hair. I only use this twice a week when I first came across to this. I had so much fun using this shampoo that I replaced the stout shampoo haha. 

Move on to the famous MoroccanOil. All the recommendations and comments from different bloggers has made me wonder so why not give it a try. I am still happy I did, seriously. This is from my latest experience: I went for a swim in a gym then my hair was so dry and flat after showering in the gym using their product. My hair looked and felt like grass, literally. I quickly applied the MoroccanOil right after I got home and miracle appeared! It became soft! I was so amazed. Another thing is, after bringing it home for summer my mum loves it too that she asked for more! I would highly recommend this product to anyone!! 

As I was amazed by the MoroccanOil, I think other products they made will be as good. So when I see the MoroccanOil shampoo and conditioner offer online, I did not hesitate. (I went with the extra volume one.) It didn't disappoint me. Although the shampoo does not lather very well, it won't cause any problems while rinse it twice or try to add more water to the shampoo before massaging it to your scalp.   (Maintain a healthy hair by shampooing it twice before applying conditioner; massage the scalp first then clean the end of your hair.) The conditioner is GREAT! It smells just like the MoroccanOil and it is super moisturising. Leave it on for a few minutes before rinse it away. I felt like I have just applied hair mask on it. The MoroccanOil products are worth every pennies! Highly recommend! 

For the MoroccanOil hair mask, I haven't yet try it. Would definitely let you guys know how it is. 

What products do you use on your hair? Any good recommendations?

Don't forget to let me know your opinions on these products. 

STRAIGHT FROM THE FASHION SHOW (2)

In addition to my previous post, there is another website which I have constantly shop with offer preorder items, which I think it is more convenient than the one I mentioned: Luisa Via Roma. Because I study in the UK, where items purchased outside Europe will be incurred additional charges, such as VAT and custom duties which is very annoying. Luisa Via Roma is based in Florence, which means the price shown will be the amount I will be charged, no hidden costs. And, what's better is that it offers free shipping, with nice packaging! Not living in the Europe? Don't worry, they still offer free shipping and the imported fee will be included to most countries. NO HIDDEN COSTS!!!!
Oops! not very satisfied with your newly purchased items? No problem! Return Shipment is FREE!!!!!

Happy shopping everyone! :) xx

ZARA DID IT AGAIN

As you know, Zara always update its stocks very frequently that keeping track at zara.com is a must so that hot items won't be sold out by the time you want to hunt them down. I was just scrolling around, and I found this from Zara, when I was thinking whether I should get the Isabel Marant Caleen Studded Calfskin low boot.

which is very similar to the Isabel Marant one: 

The only different of these is the Isabel Marant one got a 70mm internal wedge heel, just like the bekketts and bobbys. For me, if I wasn't tell that this is internally wedged I could never spotted it; where the bobby, one can easily tell that it's wedged if they look closer. But to be honest, I do think the Marant one worths every penny as it is internally wedged and no one can tell, while the Zara one is just a normal Isabel Marant-ish boot. 

What do you guys think? xx
