got2b 2 Sexy – Yay or nay?

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

Som ni säkert läst så vann jag en tävling hos Beleza och fick därför Schwarzkopf got2b 2 Sexy big volume hårspray och mousse med collagen lift effect.

Nu har jag hunnit testa dem ett tag och kan nu göra ett ordentligt utlåtande ;).

Moussen: Är helt okej. Har använt den i vått hår innan föning och den luktar inte för starkt (luktar lite hallon på ett kemiskt sätt (?)). Lukten tycker jag försvinner efter föningen. Stadgan tycker jag är jättebra jämfört med Wella’s mousse.

Sprayen: Efter föning med moussen så har jag använt sprayen. Den luktar väldans mycket i början men det antar jag att alla gör, man bör ha god ventilation! Känner mig däremot lite kluven till “hallondoften” även om lukten inte stannar kvar hela dagen. Stadgan är fantastisk! Håll upp håret, spraya lite grann och håret stannar i samma vinkel som du höll det i!

Dock har jag märkt att mitt hår blir extremt sprött och frasigt efter sprayningen! Jag blev nästan lite rädd! Det kändes verkligen som att håret skulle trilla av om jag rörde vid det! Det var samma visa varje gång tills jag slutade använda båda samtidigt!

På mig fungerar de här bäst var för sig! Min hårbotten kliar lite efter att jag haft sprayen i en hel dag, men jag har ännu inte hittat någon som inte kliar!

Produkterna tillsammans: 1/5

Var för sig:
Schwarzkopf got2b 2 Sexy Big Volume Hairspray: 3/5
Schwarzkopf got2b 2 Sexy Big Volume Mousse: 4/5

I posted before that I won a contest at Beleza where I got Schwarzkopf got2b 2 Sexy big volume hairspray and mousse with collagen lift effect.
Now I’ve tried them out for a while and here is my little review:

Mousse: Works great. I’ve used it in wet hair before blow-drying it and the smell isn’t too strong (smells a little bit like raspberries in a weird chemical way). Most of the smell disappears after the blow-drying. It’s way better/stronger than Wella’s mousse.

Spray: After blow-drying with the mousse, I used the spray. It smells quite a lot in the beginning (don’t they all?) and I’m not sure if I like the “raspberry scent”. But it does the job great! Hold up the hair, spray it and it will stray in the hair will stay in the same position!
However, after using it, I’ve noticed that my hair got extremely fragile and crispy! I got a little scared that my hair would fall of if I touched it. It happened every time until I stopped using the mousse and the spray together!

So, on me these products works best separately! My scalp do itch after wearing the spray for a day, but I have not yet found a spray that doesn’t give me itch yet!

The products together: 1/5

Separately:
Schwarzkopf got2b 2 Sexy Big Volume Hairspray: 3/5
Schwarzkopf got2b 2 Sexy Big Volume Mousse: 4/5

The Weekend

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

I’ve had a really nice weekend! Went shopping with my mom and a cousin, I found three amazing tops that just had to buy! It’s rare that I even find one that I really like and fits perfectly at the same time ;). Also went to visit my parents so I could wash my car and take a walk with the dogs in the woods. Took some pictures of some flowers in their garden. I know nothing about flowers, not a thing, so I can’t name them.

I hope you had a great weekend as well!

Ludde and I sat on the balcony for a while, it was really nice weather. (FYI – I was reading xxx Holic)

I love this picture! :P

I washed my car.

Some flowers got wet.

Some weird looking flowers.

Here is a short (crappy, the dogs are a bit dark) video from the walk in the woods! It’s the very first video I’m posting on my blog that I recorded myself! ;)

The little one – Ludde – Mix between papillon, tibetan spaniel and poodle.
The big one – Alfred – Mix between labrador, rottweiler and vorsteh.

Smashed

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

Look what I discovered when I got my latest order from E.L.F yesterday. The Natural Radiance Blusher (Shy) is totally smashed and powdered. THE HORROR! The other blusher I bought was just fine! Now I’m sad :|

Symbols on beauty products

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

I’m a bit ashamed for telling you this but I have just discovered the meaning of some of the packaging symbols. (Please don’t pick on me for this! :P)

I’ve always been a little frustrated over the lack of “use before”-dates on beauty products, like mascaras and body lotions. It turns out that I’ve just been blind. They are there! It’s that little symbol of an open can with a label on how many months you can use it before it gets old!

Am I the only one who missed this?!

I also remembered a question I got at work a while ago (I work for a directory assistance supplier); What does the e-mark on packages mean? It means that “the product has been packed according to the requirements of the European Communities average weight rules“. (Thank you Google!)

And while we’re at it. Here is an explanation to the recycling symbols. Not that interesting. Got dizzy reading about them.

Space saver!

Whatcha doin?

It’s almost two years since I moved from a small town and a 80 square meters big apartment to a bigger city and a 40 square meters small apartment. Imagine how much stuff I had/have to get rid of when I moved to an apartment half the size!

For example, I had to put one half of my double bed in the basement, which makes me a bit sad since I loved that big bed, even if it was a size for two! I’ve also sold, thrown away and given away a lot of stuff, but I still have one basement storage too much! We are only allowed to have one, but I managed to get two when I moved in ;).

So during the years I have been organizing a lot. Don’t get me wrong, I love organizing! But it really has been a little too much even for me. So a week a go I decided to go over my closets _again_, sorting out clothes that I don’t use or that doesn’t fit me. However, I just didn’t want to throw them all away. I am loosing a liiittle bit weight each month and I just wanted to save some smaller clothes just in case I reach that size again. The rest will be donated to an aid organization.

In the middle of all this I remembered that I several months ago bought 2 compression bags! You know, the big ones that you use a vacuum cleaner to suck out all the air with.

I used one to all the clothes I’m saving. And hell yes, I’m saving a lot of space now! I probably shouldn’t have packed the clothes in such high piles in the bags, but instead used all of the space in it, but it worked out anyway. Just take a look at the picture below! Before I had the clothes in two big boxes. Now, they _all_ will fit in _one_ shelf in the closet. I must say; one of the best inventions ever! ;P
