John Frieda Straight Ahead shampoo & conditioner

I've been trying the John Frieda Straight Ahead shampoo and conditioner for a few months now and I feel ready to share my thoughts about them with you. Let's begin with saying I don't even know why I bought these in the first place. I have naturally frizzy and kinda curly hair, so why would I buy products that are designed for straight hair? Sob. I bought these back in February, and I probably thought these would help me fight the frizziness. Did they work? Nope. Of course. They kinda ruined my hair, too. Now I'm back to an oil-enriching shampoo and conditioner and I hope to make my hair look 'normal' again! 

I'm not saying that they are bad products in the slightest way. I have read lots of positive reviews about them, and I bet they do their job.. on the right type of hair! I'd suggest you give them a try if you are a straight-haired girl :)

Today I want.. #18

I've been lately finding myself looking for a subtle drugstore highlighter, but I haven't found any good ones yet. I think MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Lightscapade, even though it's not drugstore, would be the perfect one for me since I have a very light complexion.    

Sticking on the 'light complexion' subject - it's been a few years since I decided to stay away from the sun during the Summer, and this choice definitely hasn't spared me a lot of "You look so white, you really need to get a tan"s from friends, relatives and even strangers. I feel completely comfortable without a tan, but I kinda feel that my skin lacks a bit of glow. I really want to try the Caudalie Jambes Divines oil, as it's supposed to provide that glow without making me look like I've used a self-tanning product.   

I'm not much of a blush person as I think that applying it on  my cheeks would only make my problematic skin look worse, but the concept of the Josie Maran Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelée intrigues me. As the name suggests, it's a coconut water-infused jelly blush which is supposed to provide hydration and look as natural skin. I would definitely try it out if only Josie Maran was sold here :(

MAC Lovely Lily pigment

Some weeks ago I received MAC Lovely Lily pigment in a swap with a girl from the UK and I've been playing with it ever since. I am a neutral girl at heart and I basically never go for colours, at least on my eyes. However, I decided to give it a try, since lilac is one of my favourite colours!

MAC Lovely Lily is a gorgeous pinky lilac with a frost finish. As with any other pigment, it can be applied dry for a softer look (which I usually like to do) or wet, to make the colour really pop. As I've said before, colourful eye make-up looks are really not my thing, but Lovely Lily really complements my brown eyes well, so I like to apply it just in the inner corner of my eyes while leaving the rest of the make-up neutral. I think that is the perfect way to integrate a pop of colour if you're scared of really bright shades on your eyes!
