Review: Chanel Miroir Double Facettes Mirror Duo

I've mentioned at least twice before (here and here) that I got a Chanel Miroir Double Facettes Mirror Duo on the Strawberrynet makeup sale a while ago (why the mirror was included in a makeup sale is beyond me, but I did get a nice discount on it, so I am certainly not complaining!), and now I have had a chance to try this mirror for some time, so I thought I'd share what I thought of it.

First of all, I will say that no-one really NEEDS a Chanel mirror of course, but if you are like me, it is a nice purchase since using a mirror like this instantly adds some glamour into your daily makeup routine. The mirror looks very chic, very Chanel and is well made. So one of the mirrors does indeed magnify, while the other mirror is more of a normal mirror.

I am happy I got this mirror, it looks exactly like it does in the pictures on Strawberrynet in real life too, doesn't seem to be very fragile, so I don't need to worry about scratches and such just yet, and I will happily carry this mirror around with me for now. It's fun pulling out Chanel stuff out of your bag when you need a small pick me up, even if it is just a mirror!

Review: Revolution Kava Kava 60 Second Mask For Dry and Damaged Hair

I mentioned that I really like Kava Kava's shampoo for dry and damaged hair in my previous post, but the hair mask, that you are supposed to be using with this shampoo is actually even better than the shampoo!

Why is that?
First of all, the texture and the scent of this hair mask is just lovely, you don't need to use a lot of it at a time either, since a little really goes a long way with this product. It also gives you just wonderful results, my hair is both softer, less dry and more manageable with this hair mask, which really impressed me.

I also like that you don't need to leave this hair mask in for a really long time, 60 seconds is all it takes, and while I am someone that showers pretty fast, I will admit that I usually do have 60 seconds to spare in the shower. So this mask works really well for me!

I will definitely be getting the Kava Kava 60 Second Mask again, and would highly recommend it to anyone who has trouble with dry hair. It's organic and cruelty free as well, and while I know this hair mask can be rather hard to find in some areas, I did see that there are some of these masks available on Ebay, so if you don't manage to find Kava Kava products, like the 60 Second Mask For Dry and Damaged Hair, anywhere else, you might want to give Ebay a try. Here is one auction, where you can get the 60 Second Mask, for instance.

Review: Kava Kava shampoo for dry and damaged hair

I tried the Kava Kava shampoo and hair mask for blonde hair a while ago, and was really pleased with both products, so when I saw that Kava Kava also makes a similar set for dry and damaged hair, which is not a very far off description of my own hair (well, it's not so damaged, but dry for sure!), I really wanted to try the Kava Kava shampoo and hair mask for dry and damaged hair too.

And I have to say that these products are really good as well! They don't look as cool as the purple Kava Kava products for blonde hair, but looks aren't everything, and they do work wonders!

This shampoo doesn't really have a very distinctive scent, but I don't really mind that, since the hair mask, that I always use after the shampoo (but more about the mask in a separate post) smells quite nice.

The shampoo is hydroganic and organic as well, and is cruelty free, which is very important to me these days, when choosing a shampoo, so I can't really think of anything bad at all to say about this shampoo. Especially since it's available in really big bottles too (that's the kind I got myself)!

Highly recommended, I will definitely be buying this again. The only problem is, I can't decide if I like this shampoo or the Kava Kava shampoo for blonde hair better. So I guess I will just have to alternate between the two... Oh, well!

If you're interested in reading more about this shampoo, I recommend Kava Kava's own website, where they have a description of it as well.

Some of my new Chanel stuff is here!

I mentioned in a previous post that I order several Chanel products when Strawberrynet had a makeup sale recently. I still didn't get everything I ordered (even though the Dior products I ordered around the same time have arrived already), but I did get the mirror and the lip stick I ordered, so I will be reviewing both of those shortly.

 

Another thing very high on my beauty wish list right now...

... is the rather new scent Jour d'Hermes, the new Hermes scent. I've actually had a chance to take a whiff off this, and it smelled absolutely divine! So I really should get a bottle for myself as well!

At the top of my beauty wish list right now...

... is a Garnier product, namely their 5 Sec Perfect Blur primer, which has gotten quite excellent reviews almost everywhere. And since I am yet to find the perfect primer (even though the MAC one I tried a while ago is pretty good), I am hoping this primer might be what I am looking for.

I must go by the pharmacy (that usually has a pretty good selection of Garnier products) to see if they have this soon!

Review: Dior Addict Lip Glow Color Awakening Lip Balm

I mentioned in my post about my 2 new Dior lip products that I would be reviewing my new Dior Addict Lip Glow Color Awakening Lip Balm, and well, now it's time for that review.

I was actually not sure about getting this product, since the whole idea behind this product is that it "awakens" and strengthens your own natural lip color, and to be honest, I wasn't really sure what shade that would be in my case, and if I would like it or not. The main reason being that I like nudish lips, very light pink ones, and I suspected that that would actually not be my natural lip color. But after having tried the Lip Glow, I must say I was happy with the results. The color of my lips, after I applied this was very similar to how my lips look without anything on them, just a bit darker, which looks really, really natural and nice. It actually looks like you haven't used any lip product on the lips at all, which is very, very nice, if you ask me!

The packaging of the Lip Glow Color Awakening Lip Balm is not as luxurious as what I am used to with Dior products, though, the case looks kind of plasticky.

But the Dior Addict Lip Glow Color Awakening Lip Balm moisturizes your lips quite well, too, besides changing the color of the lips, which was a nice surprise. And the texture is really nice and buttery too.

So while this is not my favorite lip product of all time or anything, I am still really happy I gave it a try, and would probably buy it again, for days when I want a natural lip look, if you know what I mean.

Besides the packaging, which wasn't a hit for me, at least compared to other Dior products, the only downside of this product is the price. This is pricey for a lip balm, after all, but I think it will last me for quite some time, so maybe it's not as expensive as it seems for that reason?
