Worst show ever: Dolce&Gabbana Summer 2013 Mens Fashion Show

I just watched about 4 minutes of the Dolce&Gabbana Summer 2013 Mens Fashion Show. Why only 4 minutes? Because the show and the clothes are just awful. The music was driving me insane, the clothes didn't seem to fit the models (thats what you get when you want to save money by using children as models) The collection overall wasn't anything exciting at all, the only thing I liked were the printed blazers and shirts, but I they were very Versace so again nothing exciting. Also I totally don't get why they used children as models to sell clothes that are marketed to grown ups WTF?! I guess they wanted to save some money. Overall the whole show just felt and looked really cheap and tacky. Another thing that I don't get, why would you have such a long catwalk if the models are gonna use only half of it, if I would be sitting at the end of that catwalk I would be pissed off. Below is a video from the show, let me know what you think about it.

Current skincare routine.

It has been a while since I have done a post on my skincare routine. My routine changes depending on the season and the state of my skin. Since its been fairly warm in London and my skin looks pretty good my skincare routine is quite simple and its all about cleanings and moisturising. Some of the products I have been using for a while and some are new and I'm just trying them out.

Morning


I usually don't wash my face in the morning, unless I have to shave, if I do then I wash my face with the nspa Brightening Detox Scrub or nspa Melting Cleansing Gel and then shave. If I'm not shaving then I refresh my face with nspa Revitalizing Toning Mist. After that I use The Body Shop For Men Maca Root Eye Serum and follow with nspa Brightening Day Cream with SPF15. If its really sunny outside then I use La Roche Posay Anthelios XL 50+ to protect my skin from sun. I normally don't use foundation primers, however for past few days I have been testing out The Body Shop Vitamin C Skin Reviver which is a primer and vitamin c serum in one, I feel like it adds bit more radiance to my skin and hopefully it will help with my post acne hyper pigmentation.

Mid-day/Afternoon


Sometimes around mid day my skin can feel bit dry and my make up starts to look "heavy". If that happens then I spritz my face with the nspa Revitalizing Toning Mist to refresh my skin.

Evening


So when the time comes to take my make up off I have been loving the nspa Hot Cloth Polish and I use it with a muslin cloth. If my skin feels oily I follow with Witch Foaming Face Wash. Sometimes when I'm bit lazy or I'm not wearing much make up I use Kiko Cleansing Water, but most of the time I properly cleanse my face with the hot cloth cleanser. After that I follow with nspa Deep Hydrating Facial Oil and thats the reason why I don't like to wash my face in the morning because I like how my skin feels in the morning.

Can u mix mac studio fix and revlon colorstay ?

Today I had a look at what keywords have lead my readers to my blog. One of them was can you mix Mac Studio Fix and Revlon Colorstay? My answer to this is yes. If you have read my post comparing Mac Studio Fix Fluid and Revlon ColorStay then you know that both of the foundations are different from each other, but there is no reason why they can't be mixed together. Both of the foundations are silicon based so it should be really easy to mix them to create a perfect shade/finish. The only time when you should't mix foundations is when one is oil based and the other is water based because water and oil wouldn't mix well.

Review: Tara Smith Straight Away - WORST Hair Products Ever!!!

Image Source: splodzblogz.co.uk

I usually don't hate many makeup/skincare/body/hair care products, if they don't work me I usually just toss them away and get on with my life. But not with this one, oh no. Ok let's start from the beginning, about two months ago I was in my local 99p store and saw the Tara Smith Straight Away Shampoo and Conditioner, did a quick search on my iPhone just to make sure that its a legit(is that a right word?) brand. I admit, I wasn't looking for a new hair care products, but I couldn't resist a bargain, they normally retail about £6-9 each. So after a quick read of few positive reviews and discovering that Tara Smith is a international hairdresser and all that blah blah I decided to investigate this duo in more details...well I read the ingredients and notice that there isn't even a trace of SLS or Silicones in them. When I bought this duo my hair were extremely oily because for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to use Aussie 3 Minute Miracle everyday for two months, it wasn't. So anyway, after the first use I notice that my hair were really smooth. I was using this duo for about 3 weeks when I noticed that my hair started to be really dry and unmanageable so I thought its time for a trim, but that didn't help. Few days later I bleached my hair, which meant I had to change my haircare routine, I started using shampoo and conditioner for blonde hair with purple pigments. I continued using them for about two weeks, but I notice my hair were way too silvery/grey so I switched back to the Tara Smith Shampoo and Conditioner and it started all over again, my hair were dry, dull and unmanageable. I thought its time to give up on it and I switched to different hair care brand and with it just few days my hair were back to normal. So in the end I figured out that it was the Tara Smith Straight Away Shampoo and Conditioner that caused my hair to be dry and unnamable. I think it was due to the fact that the shampoo was too stripping and the conditioner wasn't conditioning enough. Also another thing I really dislike about the duo was the smell, it smelled like a cheap citrusy air fresher mixed with ginger. I’m not gonna talk about the packaging or the brand overall just because I think its pointless. So in summary...I suggest you stay away from the Tara Smith Straight Away as far as away as you can even if you find it at your local poundshop at great price. It's not worth even a penny, total waste of money.
