Lee Stafford - Dry Shampoo / Dark for oily roots

First of all excuse me for not having rotated the pictures, my laptop didn't like me at that moment...

I really want to tell you about this product, because it really helped me! A LOT! I've always been wanting a dry shampoo, but they all sprayed out white, but then I've found this one, and it's made for dark hair. AMAZING!

You can check the picture below so you can see that it sprays out dark.

I'm the kind of girl who needs to wash my hair every other day. I straighten my hair all the time, so it obviously gets oily easy, which sucks, but you'll learn how to live with it. My hair starts looking a little greasy on day 2. So that's where my little new best friends comes in. I spray about 13 - 16 cm away from my head onto the oily roots. After that you can just shake your head a little so it gets in there, because I don't like using my fingers to remove the powder, because touching your hair all the time causes greasiness. It really helps a lot. I've actually just used it before doing this post, because it's day number 2 obviously. It works out great and it has a nice smell to it also - which is a bonus! I just love when my hair smells good!

It actually makes the greasiness disappear, because the powder you spray to your hair absorbs the oil. I have to say it doesn't make your hair look like you've just got out of the shower, BUT it does make the greasiness disappear which is what we want! It's a great dry shampoo I have to say. Worth the money.

You can buy it many different places! Just search after Lee Stafford Dry Shampoo on google and I'm sure you'll find a place near you to buy it. It's not that expensive compared to other brands.

I defiantly recommend it if you are a brunette and you need some dry shampoo! You can also get it for medium brown hair and just the regular dry shampoo consistent - white.

I've also noticed all the Lee Stafford products comes out with tips on the back! This dry shampoo says:

Lee's Top Tips

SHAKE WELL BEFORE USE. Spray from 16 cm / 6 inches onto the root area that needs revitalizing then vigorously rub away the powder with your fingers... girls you are ready to go without having to blow.

Thank you for reading and I hope you like it!

NO MORE OILY ROOTS DAYS :)

ELF: Essentials Brigthening Eye Colour

Hi ladies!
These four beautiful mini palettes (if you can call them that) I've decided to review and swatch for you! So I hope you'll like it and let's get started.

I've been loving these different eyeshadows for a while now, and I really like them. If I have to wear eyeshadow it's most likely them I use. But why? Because they are so inexpensive and they are so pigmented! They are all coming out highly pigmented, so no worry! They last almost all day, but I have noticed sometimes it fades a little, but not much! They all contain glitter, but it's different how much, but it looks so gorgeous when taking pictures! Check out the pictures below for swatches.

I love these eyeshadows so much! Do you? If you haven't tried them I suggest you do, they are so cheap and worth a try. I will probably do a look with one of the palettes soon! So stay tuned for that.

Hope you all like it girls!

Stay tuned for my next post

Today's Arm Candy

My arm candy for today!

I've made the first two myself, and the cross is from Gina Tricot.

I love making bracelets and if you wonder where I buy the pearls and the other things it's from a danish webshop called www.cyberimport.dk

Have a nice day ladies!

French Manicure: "Apricot" by Pieces & "E449C" by Wet N Wild

Do you not always have time to go to a nail salon and get your nails fixed? Me either! I prefer to do it myself and in a cheap way if possible. I've always been experimenting with a nice neutral soft light pink color, but I've always ended up layering, layering and layering before it looked like a soft light pink color. I've even tried the O.P.I nailpolishes in "Otherwise Engaged" and "Sweet Heart" which looks like such a pretty light pink color in the bottle, but I always have to layer it 4 times before it looks like the color in the bottle. But! At my birthday which is a few weeks ago, my bestie got me some nailpolishes from Pieces. She got me 3 different colors, and then she got me a pretty light pink color, and I was like... I know that I will have to layer it on and on, but after a few days I decided to try it out, and I only had to do 2 layers! It dries so fast! It was just amazing to me. So if you are having a hard time finding a perfect light pink color you don't have to layer hundred times - try out "Apricot" from Pieces.

"Apricot" by Pieces

Where to buy? You can buy it in certain clothing stores and of course in the Pieces stores.

I've also been having a hard time finding a perfect white color that lasts for a long time and a color that you only have to layer one time. So I went to my favorite drugstore "Bilka" that's like the only place in Denmark where I know they sell Wet N Wild, and I found this white color, and I decided to try it out and it is amazing! You only have to apply one time and it lasts for a long time and it's a really bright white looking color. I just won't ever change that white color out ever again, because I haven't found a color as good as that one from Wet N Wild. It is called "E449C".

"E449C" by Wet N Wild

Where to buy? In Denmark you can buy it in "Bilka" and at different webshops such as Smartgirl.dk

In the US you can find it at your local drugstore.

So these are the two colors I use everytime I do my french manicure! Try them out you won't regret.
