HAIR TALK: IRRESISTIBLE ME CLIP INS







Hey y'all!

 A couple weeks ago I received a lovely package from Irresistible Me the hair extension brand and since I still had my braided hair at that moment of arrival I couldn't try the product earlier. Which was why I was even more excited to try! The package was literally dying in it's corner for like ages. However, one thing that explained my excitement was the fact that I've never tried clip-ins before just the typical sew-in weaves, braids, ponytails and so on. You know the deal my african sisters. 
So it was pretty much something new to me and just for instance, I always thought (and don't take it offensive or personal ladies) that it was a "white girls thing" but I was totally proven wrong. Those clip-ins are so easy to handle and install to the hair. I even did it myself! 
It's so much more healthier for your own hair than the sew-ins. They were the once that literally ruined my hair totally to this short mess! Never gonna let nobody to my hair with a needle again!

Ohh .. and before I forget - from their very amazing and variable collection I choosed a bundle that came in 200g & 20 inches of the Royal Remy clip-ins in Natural Black which is #1B (click here).

And let me tell you something, the hair feels so soft and very natural and matched my own (short) hair perfectly.

See the transformation yourself:


I'm not a pro when it comes to installing hair but I think I pretty much did great consider it for the first time and deserve a pat on my shoulder! haha

What do you guys think? ..

Much Love xx

REVIEW: RAPID WHITE BLEACHING STRIPS




Happy Friday guys!

A couple months ago I got to try a new homebleaching product from Rapid White and I absolutely loved it! It came in a whole bleaching kit with many stuff in it. (post here) 
but for this time, as soon as I heard that they have a new product on line I sure had to go for it. I've always heard a lot about bleaching strips and when I found out that Rapid White has it on offer I was more than happy to try. The package of the Bleaching Strips Kit came with the "Beschleuniger" & of course the strips which we have 14 of and that's it. They also promise that this method is going to bring whiter teeth within 5 days which is quite impressive since the other kit works in at least a week.
But here we go. I'll let you know the steps as usual and at the end of it I'll let you know my opinion on this product.


Step 1: (teeth has to be brushed before applying)
- take one package of the strips, open it and put it aside for the next step



Step 2:
- now it's time to take the "Beschleuniger"
- press it on each teeth you want to whiten but make sure not to close your mouth while doing so, since it can be easily removed by the lips


Last step:
- now take one strip each and press it on the upper jaw then lower jaw
- let it in for at least 5 min. then rinse out with water
- mind eating for at least 15 min.

... that's pretty much it! Make sure to repeat every morning & evening

Before                                                               After

As you can see, I don't have perfect teeth I've never had! From time to time I do struggle with little yellow areas on my teeth as well but since we're all human I guess we all go through the same right?
From the outcome, I can say that I'm fully impressed. I mean the process only took me half the time I had with the other product. It's easy, fast & it's effective!

But ..and here comes the big but (no, just kidding, just a small but haha) .. I had some struggles during the process and I'm not gonna hide those from you! During the last step which is the one while pressing the strips on your teeth I felt kinda disgusted by the taste of it. I know I'm not supposed to eat the strips but to be honest if you have those in your mouth for like minutes there's no way you can avoid to swallow. But in case of the function it pretty much does it's job and as long as it does that I'm all fine with the taste and it's a weird, sweet taste just for instance..

Have an awesome weekend guys!

Much Love xx

REVIEW: RAPID WHITE BLEACHING SYSTEM




How-to-guide:


Step 1: Take both dental splints and put them seperately into hot water for a easier deformation.


After 10-12 sec the dental splints start to get soft and transparent. While taking it out of the hot water avoid glueing together. Allow to let the splints cool down before putting into mouth.


Step  2: Now that the splints have cooled down put it onto the upperjaw then underjaw for at least 10 sec while pressing with fingers and tongue for it to deform. Press teeth together.


This is how it looks after deforming. You clearly can see bits of your dental impression. If not, try it one more time from step 1.


Step 3: Cut the lug off and keep the splints in the box.


Step 4: Squeeze a small amount of "Aufhellungsgel" on the splints. (Before using make sure your teeths are clean and brushed)


Step 5: Now take the "Beschleuniger" and press it onto the parts of your teeth you want to bleach. Do not close your mouth to avoid smearing the "Beschleuniger" off.

Step 6: Now put the splints onto your upper and underjaw and press teeth together for at least 5-10 min. After that, take splints out and rinse throughly. I suggest, the longer you have it on - the better the results get.


Last step: Take the "Aufhellungszahncreme" and brush teeth.
Repeat step 4-7 every morning and evening for 1 week.


Et voila!
Despite the fact that my teeth were already quite clean and almost white I could see minimal improvements such as dirt that was hidden in corners are now gone. I also felt this extra cleanliness on my teeth whenever I went over with my tongue even after 1 week.

I was one of the first people to try the new Rapid White Bleaching System that is going to be sold in drugstores like dm starting this week.

I'm not a big fan of bleaching but though I would highly recommand this home-use bleacher that is super easy and safe to use and affordable. Check out the Rapid White website (here).

REVIEW: ST. TROPEZ SELF TAN DARK RANGE





Tan Enhancing Body Polish

Step 1: Prepare skin 24 hours before tanning with an all over application of St. Tropez Body Polish.


Tan Enhancing Body Moisturizer

Step 2: Immediately before tanning apply St. Tropez Body Moisturizer to any dry areas  such as elbows, knees, ankles, feet & hands to protect.


Step 3: To have an evenly and smooth tan effect a Applicator Mitt is needed. I used a mitt from a drugstore for less than 1€. Works too! 
So before applying the Mousse, Lotion or Spray pump/spray a small amount to the mitt and apply to body.


St. Tropez Bronzing Mousse


Step 4 - Mousse: Before using the St. Tropez Bronzing Mousse protect light areas at eyebrows and hairline with extra Moisturizer.
Pump a velvety mousse into a mitt and smooth from top to toe, making sure you're well covered.
Once you've got even coverage wait until touch-dry before getting dressed.  Avoid getting wet or exercise for at least 4 hours, leave on 8 hours or more for best results.

Finally, shower off to reveal a perfectly golden, natural looking tan. To maintan, re-apply a couple of times a weeks (preferable 2 times), nourish daily with St. Tropez Body Moisturizer and smooth with regular exfoliation for ultimate results.

St. Tropez Bronzing Spray


Step 4 - Spray: Before using the St. Tropez Bronzing Spray protect light areas at eyebrows and hairline with extra Moisturizer.
Then, hold the nozzle about "6 away from your skin and spray all over. Blend with your applicator mitt if necessary to make sure you're covered as it's only missed areas that can look patchy. 
For the face - spray onto a mitt and cover the whole face with it.
Once you've got even coverage wait until touch-dry before getting dressed.  Avoid getting wet or exercise for at least 4 hours, leave on 8 hours or more for best results

Finally, shower off to reveal a perfectly golden, natural looking tan. To maintan, re-apply a couple of times a weeks, nourish daily with St. Tropez Body Moisturizer and smooth with regular exfoliation for ultimate results.

Note: I recommend a patch test that is carried out at least 24 hours prior to use. If there are any adverse reactions do not continue to use. Don't apply to broken, irritated or sensitive skin and stop using if your skin becomes irritated.

The bottom line is that ..
 Clearly, the Mousse, Lotion or Spray worked and got me a much more golden glow that I had before but if you are seeking for a more intensivly effective glow that last longer I would recommend the Mousse and Lotion as they tend to be much more intensive in the outcome than the Spray does.

When it comes to the application the Spray was the easiest. You'll probably need another person to help you with covering your back but in my opinion it still was the easiest to apply.

To apply the Mousse and Lotion takes more time but it has a better result at the end of the day.

All three worked for me but they all have they pros and cons so it's up to you if you want a quick application or a much more intensive glow that last longer.

Check out the St. Tropez website for more details and other products (here).

REVIEW: KISS CUP 2014 AND WHAT I WORE





As already told you in one of my older posts before that on last weekend I droped in the radio event "Kiss Cup" which is presented by Kiss FM an berlin radio channel.
It was lots of fun and delightful as well - most of the time.
 Most of the time simply because I was kinda feeling pissed off, of those dudes who were constantly screming and shouting while I was sitting next to them and i've even asked them to shut it down please at least a bit, but they didn't mind to.

Anyhow we had our seats quite near the stage and field so we had a very good view.
Kiss Cup is all about german celebrities who are challenging themselves in football or basketball matches in different teams.
Team Italian, Team DDR, Team Turkey and Team Greenland.
This time they choosed football as theme because of the world cup that is near. Btw I'm extremely exicted for the world cup! #TeamGhana

Apart from that there were some live acts from german singers and rappers like:
Mateo, McFitti and the american singer Cris Cab that was defo my highlight of that day to see him live as I'm loving his song Liar,Liar. And he sang that song as well. Lucky me! haha
 And I don't even had to pay for the entry it was all for free. You had to win the tickts or pick them up in an fitness studio.

So long story, no plot ...Here's a short video to sum the day up for you:



At the end Team Italian won the Cup and they deserved it. But thats my own opinion.




Oh and what I wore?





// Crop Top, Sandals, Necklace & Shopper: H&M // Highwaist: Monki // Sunny: Primark //


Last but not least selfie time with my girl Zaza





Hope you have a blessed day!

Much Love xx
