2nd Review on Rich Pure Luxury Rejuvenating Argan Oil Elixir

You guys still remember an entry I recently just posted on the Rich Pure Luxury Rejuvenating Argan Oil Elixir? Yup that wasn't that long ago, in fact that was only a few days back.

But I seriously NEED to show you the progress I have seen on my hair!!!!

Now this 1st picture is my hair today. I have only applied the oil once every morning (for the past few days) after I showered, when my hair was still damp. The result is, healthy-looking hair with more defined curls! It has that sort of wet-look on it but it isn't even wet or oily. Just very smooth and moisturized. 

HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!??!


Now compare that to my hair that I had last month.


NONE of the pictures above were even edited. Just raw pictures. And you can see it's remarkable difference! 

My hair was previously extremely dehydrated, malnourished, brittle and lots of split-ends and fly-aways/kinks. Just analyse the bottom part of my hair, coz thats just the worst.

Now you believe me when I said that it's a miracle product? ;D

Floral Headbands


So I bought a H&M floral headband and was too excited to try it on and take a selfie! 
Hehe!

My hair is pretty short and I feel that this trend will look better on long tresses. It's not impossible/wrong for short-haired girls to wear this though but I'm just saying it'll look better on long tresses..

I just had to own it because I loved the flower combinations and of course, the beautiful blend of colours.

This IS NOT the best outfit of how I would actually style this floral headband up as I was just excited to take a selfie so yeah, pardon me! XD


This is from my recent photoshoot with Merly Citaro Photography(:







Even Fashion Hayley dons this trend..







And these are some of the ways you can pair your floral headbands with..






So try it! Of course, don't forget to look effortlessly chic!

L’Oreal Hydra Fresh & Rich Pure Luxury Rejuvenating Argan Oil Elixir Review

Being in the beauty industry, image has always been a vital facet. Every thing from head to toe needs to be primed well and because we represent our industry, it also means that our hair and skin is constantly exposed to styling irons and all-day makeup. To be really frank, I have ZERO makeup regime. I dunno how I got by many years of just facial wash and probably rare (once in a few years) of facial. OMG.

So yeah, I thought that this is it. Before I do any further damage to my skin/tresses, I'd better get myself a good beauty haul and start having a beauty regime. So yeah, I scoured blogs, websites, pharmacies and I decided on the L'OREAL Paris Hydra Fresh range for my facial skincare regime.

I am currently not on the full range. I didn't get their cleanser Hydra Fresh Hydrating Refreshing Creamy Foam, 125ml ($12.90) and the lotion Hydra Fresh Hydration + Antiox Active Mask-In Lotion, 175ml ($22.90). I bought the toner Hydra Fresh Hydrating Softening Spa Water, 175ml ($19.90) and moisturiser Hydra Fresh Hydration + Antiox Active Supreme Emulsion, 50ml ($25.90).

There are countless of reviews on this L'OREAL Paris Hydra Fresh range and these are just some of the popular blogs.

I would not go into details about this product because these blogs have done great reviews on it but as for me, I really liked the toner because it leaves a very gentle and pleasing scent and the moisturizer didn't leave a greasy residue after application. Not only that, I decided to do a makeup test right after application and my oh my, my makeup application was smoother, my makeup lasted longer and most importantly, my face wasn't oily even after breaking a sweat. My makeup looked well-balanced and not cakey as when my skin was really dry. So that was how I knew this product works brilliantly on me.

Another product I would like to rave on is the Rich Pure Luxury Rejuvenating Argan Oil Elixir.

And you can know more about the range of products the company carries here.

In addition, if I am not mistaken, this product is also featured in magazines like CLEO, ELLE and the like for the Star Buy or Highly-Recommended Products to try list.

So yeah, as for me, I must say that this product is a MIRACLE! And I kid you not! I have been using Pantene, Dove, Sunsilk and a couple more leave-in hair conditioners and nothing works like this one. I tested it when my hair was completely dry and when my hair was damp right after a shower. In both cases, the moment I applied this product onto my tresses, I could SEE and FEEL that my hair was coated with a moisturizing agent that protects and nourishes it at the same time. I can vouch for this because instantly, my hair became manageable, no fly-aways and I can see that it is more hydrated as opposed to using previous hair serums/products. I'm calling it a MIRACLE product for this and this alone. I can't stress further that I am comparing this with other hair products that I have used before as this just PROVES ITSELF INSTANTLY.

I'm planning to use this for at least a couple of weeks longer before I show you how my skin and hair is improving. I've also ordered the WitchKraft Honey Mask made from Manuka Honey and Green Tea from Fizah Sajuna of Art of FS (https://www.facebook.com/fizahsajuna) for review. So stay tuned! ;)




The Feminine Floral Pants


I was doing some shopping lately and I went in to H&M. They were having the 1-for-1 sale and I chanced upon this lovely outfit! The lace top was $24.90 and the floral pants about $20. I fitted in Size L for both. I am usually a Size 14/16 or XL. Either the cutting runs large or I am losing weight (I wish!). Hahaha! XD

If you love the lace top, you can get it here..

But that is not what I would like to highlight in this entry. I wanted to write about the feminine floral pants. 

As an avid floral lover, I simply adore ANYTHING with florals on it. I am not really a pants lover but when I laid my eyes on this pants, I was in HEAVEN! I decided to try it on and the fit was good.

However, it had some stains on it and it was the last piece left! ARGHHHHH~~

But of course, whilst it lasted, I took some selfies. Can't decide whether to tuck or untuck though. Hehe!





I totally loved it on Gabi Gregg!

I don't know if floral legging are gonna work on me so let me try to get myself one and experiment with it. Till then, wait for my next post! ;)

High Slit Trend

You've seen it on the runways. You've seen it on celebrities.
 Are you hitching on the high slit trend yet?


This season's slits are going well past the knee, it's going high up near your hips! Rock this sexy trend just like these sultry celebrities on the red carpet...


Or even casually in the streets, just like Jennifer Hudson.



I sure am getting on this trend with my new gorgeous maroon sexy number bout from La Chicas Shoppez of https://www.facebook.com/la.shoppez


How about you? ;)
