New hair colour & goodies. WARNING: may contain lots of pics! Pitzi pics. :)

De curand mi-am schimbat culoarea parului, trecand de la brunet la un saten deschis aluna ce imita nuanta mea naturala. Principalul motiv a fost hotararea de a nu ma mai vopsi deloc, brunetul (de fapt un saten inchis) fiind foarte greu de intretinut cand radacinile sunt deschide. Nu am un par rezistent si desi nu il agresam mai mereu aveam varfuri despicate si se "ponosea", indiferent cat de rar puneam vopsea. Mi-l doresc foarte lung, cam cu o palma mai lung decat acum, si prefer sa ma axez pe ingrijire ca sa imi ating scopul decat sa imi mai bat capul cu "pictatul" lui. Ma temeam ca purtand o nuanta mai deschisa nu ma va mai contura suficient, eu foloseam brunetul si ca pe un slimer pentru obraji - sunt obsedata de chipurile "supte", cu pometi ososi- dar sunt foarte fericita ca am facut schimbarea. Mi se pare ca imi indulceste trasaturile si deja la 27 ani chiar incepi sa iti doresti sa arati mai tanara. Sufar de complexul Lolita, recunosc, ma ingrozeste trecerea timpului si aplic mereu comparatii cu toate fetele din jurul meu ce detin cativa ani in minus.
Asadar, am sa postez poze cu noua culoare, in diverse tipuri de lumina. O sa ajunga si mai deschisa dupa ce se curata si suvitele nelucrate si ramase brunete, oricum s-au pierdut printre celelalte si nu mai deranjeaza optic diferenta. Radacinile nu le-am vopsit si se poate observa ca sunt relativ identice cu lungimea, scop atins.






Cred ca ati remarcat ca nu zambesc niciodata in fotografii, din cauza danturii ce comporta o anomalie mai rar intalnita. Copil fiind, dupa caderea dintilor de lapte nu mi-a mai dat niciodata caninul din dreapta sus. radiografii peste radiografii, cativa medici, acceasi opinie : nici nu va mai da, nu exista mugur. Prin urmare, dintii de pe arcada de sus s-au deplasat pentru a acoperi si locul acestuia si s-a ajuns ca linia dintre incisivii frontali sa nu mai cada pe mijlocul buzei de sus cum e normal, ci la jumatatea incisivului din stanga. Evident, deplasandu-se s-au si aplecat putin. Arata ciudat, imi displace foarte tare si am ajuns sa nu pot zambi. Nici macar nu stiu, observ cand incerc de dragul pozelor ca e un zambet fortat si crispat. Eu ii spun retardat pentru ca mi se pare ca arat a tampitica. Am incercat sa stau in semi-profil, nu prea aveam curaj sa iau exact din fata...dar cred ca am scapat si vreo 2 frontale. De ce acum? Pentru ca peste 2 zile ajung la orto+chirurgie buco-maxilo-faciala. Motivul? O pleiada de medici incompetenti care nu a putut sesiza prezenta caninului inclus in gingie. Acum vreo 4 ani in sfarsit cineva si-a dat seama ce se intampla, dar nu m-a trimis la orto ci mi-a recomandat sa il extrag ca sa nu imi apese pe ceilalti sa mi-i strambe. Nu are rost sa mai povestesc cate alte mizerii am suferit din cauza ilustrului medic in cauza, mi-a lucrat absolut totul prost si m-am trezit dupa atata timp chinuit pe scaunul ala (fiecare plomba a fost pusa pe viu, plangand de durere, facandu-ma sa merg cu groaza la toate sedintele). Ce m-a prejudiciat cel mai tare e faptul ca nu mi-a spus nicio secunda ca cel ce ocupa acum locul caninului e un premolar de lapte si ca ar fi crima sa extrag caninul si sa patrez acel premolar care nu va rezista prea mult, cand as putea sa extrag premolarul si ajutata de un aparat sa cobor caninul normal pe arcada. Am avut noroc si am ajuns la cine trebuie, din fericire azi am un dentist minunat in care am deplina incredere si pe la care nu stiu daca am varsat o lacrima. :) Dar...nu ma asteapta o perioada usoara, si probabil multe luni nu am sa mai pot zambi deloc din cauza extractiilor si a aparatului din care va urca un lantisor pe caninul dezvaluit chirurgical ca sa poarte bracket. In fine...suna ciudat si se simte si mai ciudat, probabil vineri voi fi lesinata de frica, durerea fizica e cosmarul meu. Dupa cateva luni, cand caninul va cobori, voi putea incepe partea estetica. Dintii frontali, teoretic 4 din ei, vor suporta coroane de portelan pentru a rearanja pe cat posibil. Fatetele nu ma ajuta, iar eu am nevoie sa ii "mut" cam jumatate de cm. Mult timp si multi bani, nu mai zic ca-mi trebuie supradoza de rabdare.
Iata motivul pentru care azi, in toane bune fiind, mi-am facut curaj sa arat "minunile". Sper ca intr-o zi sa am acel zambet perfect si sa fiu atat de mandra si fericita incat sa ajung sa saturez de atata hlizit la camera. :)



Well, trebuia sa postez un OOTD....fotograful meu iscusit, tata, a zbughit-o de acasa taman cand ma impopotonam eu mai cu spor. M-am cam desumflat cand am inteles ca trebuie sa ma bazez pe mama, ultima data m-as scos fara jumatate din cap. Dar ce puteam sa fac? I-am explicat frumos cum e cu AF ala, ce buton sa apese, bla, bla....in 5 minute deja imi crapa buza de disperare. Nu poate. Nu stie. O planeta intreaga stie sa apese un buton, mama nu. :) Acum rad, atunci mi se zburlise parul si-mi dadusera lacrimile de ciuda ca ma impopotonasem atat si efectiv nu aveam cum sa fac poze. M-a scos fara picioare, pe urma n-a mai putut deloc sa apese cand si cum trebuie. Am abandonat operatiunea si mi-am tras singura cateva cadre, intr-un stil inconfundabil. Dubios. Comic. Pitzi-like. Cam cum isi poate poza cineva singur pantalonii scurti si cizmele nou achizitionate. Sper sa intelegeti ceva din toata straduinta mea. :D

Iata si isprava zilei :


























I'd like to try : Paula Begoun Exfoliating 2% BHA Lotion


Stiu ca exista o adevarata isterie pentru produsele Paula Begoun. Dar niciodata nu simtisem atractie sa ma documentez, asa ca mare lucru nu stiam nici despre brand si nici despre produsele disponibile. Pana aseara cand bantuind pe un forum de beauty m-am lipit de o recenzie ale carei cuvinte imi magaiau privirea si imaginatia cu perspectiva unui ten flawless. Simt o nevoie imperioasa sa testez minunatia, pretul insa ma descurajeaza. Cca 19$, si inca nu am verificat transportul. Nu ca nu as fi dat pana acum mici averi pe tot soiul de creme, geluri, lotiuni si preparate destinate eliminarii imperfectiunilor....dar uite ca momentan nu mai pot aloca sume mari pentru asta.
Am descoperit intamplator recomandarea, de fapt eu cautam "cea mai buna crema depigmentanta". Multe ofrande pentru Fade Out si Glycon, am retinut ideea...plus obligativitatea achizitionarii cat mai grabnice a unui SPF 50+, pentru a ajuta actiunea cremei si a impiedica pigmentari viitoare. Asta este, la vara bronz natural pe corp, autobronzant pe fata. Mai bine decat sa ma bronzez iarasi ca un dalmatian si sa mai si raman cu petele permanent.

    Ce spun recenziile de pe forumuri?

    • Cu o lotiune cu 2% BHA de la Paula's Choice!! O folosesc de trei zile jumate si e prea tare!!! Nu-mi mi luceste tenul, mi-am scos cam 50% din punctele negre de pe fata, nu s-a mai inflamat nimic, iar tenul este SUPERRRRR fin!!!! Incep sa iubesc senzatia asta care ma face sa simt ca scap de probleme..... Abia astept sa treaca 2 saptamani sa vad rezultatul!!!! Flavy, ti-o recomand cu maaaaare caldura....eventual peste 2 sapt iti spun daca merita sau nu cei aprox 50 lei lotiunea si aprox 50 lei transportul!!!! (cat despre produsele ei, deja am incredere si am mai comandat o masca si un corector + pudra!)
    • solutia e la fel ca o apa pe care o aplici pe un tampon de vata si iti stergi fata cu el! pielea ramane umeda iar in 5 min se usuca! Nu se intampla absolut nimic!!!! Nu te inrosesti, nu te iriti, NIMIC, doar ca daca ai cosulete deja inflamate si albe sus, gata gata sa erupa, solutia dizolva stratul cel mai de deasupra de piele si cosuletele se sparg! Dar daca nu ai nimic inflamat nici nu se cunoaste! (eu am avut si am putut obs cum se duce un strat foarte fin de piele, iar cosuletele s-au spart si pana a doua zi s-au cumintit de tot) si in doua zile deja iti poti scoate unele puncte negre slabite, sau unii pori mai urati se cumintesc!!! + nu mai ies cosuri noi (mie asta mi-a placut pana acum cel mai mult, pe langa faptul ca aveam 3 monstri durerosi de plangeam numai cat deschideam gura, si dupa prima noapte, s-au retras de tot, ramanand doar o pata rosie, care acum s-au vindecat!)
    • Folosesc 2% Beta Hydroxy Acid Liquid! Cat despre problema mea....e foarte veche sa stii, numai ca nu am avut niciodata acnee vulgara, ci cosuri (cate 2,3 o data) pe care le killaream eu de imi faceam semne! Flavy, cam asa e si tenul meu, il simt uneori uscat, dar defapt dupa putin timp incep sa lucesc (sincer, am observat ca de lucit cum luceam in trecut, nu se mai intampla) dar inca imi simt tenul uscat uneori!Cat despre solutia asta, eu o folosesc asa:
      ma demachiez cu H2O (iubesc inventia asta!) apoi ma clatesc pe fata cu apa fiarta si racita (pt ca imi e teama sa nu reactioneze cu BHA-ul) imi sterg fata, apoi cu un tampon de vata putin umezit cu BHA imi frec usor tenul.
      Dupa faza asta, tenul ramane putin umed (ca si cand te-ai sters cu ceva umed pe fata) dar in 3 min se usuca!
      Nu te astepta sa ai bucati de piele care se cojesc, NU BHA-ul intra in pori si dizolva dopurile de acolo, sau de la suprafata pielii dizolva scuamele, insa in timp ce tu te stergi cu tamponul ala cu solutie, tot ceea ce se curata de pe fata ta, ramane in vata aia, si tu nu vezi nimic schimbat!
      Doar ca dupa ce se usuca tenul tau luceste (nu de grasime, ci de curatenie ) Eu seara, dupa 30 de min dupa ce mi se usuca, mai pun si un rand de Skinoren (si BHA-ul are efect benefic asupra semnelor, dar eu incerc sa urgentez putin si cu ajutorului Skinorenului)
      Iar dimineata, dupa BHA folosesc crema de la Ivatherm _crema pt ten cu tendinta acneica! Cam atat! Eu am inceput sa iubesc fiecare dimineata.
    • Acum tenul e foarte fin in zonele unde faceam slalom printre puncte negre mari!!!!Iar aseara cand ma examinam in oglinda mea cu lupa, am observat ca nara stanga E FINA!!!!! Nu mai am puncte negre DELOC ACOLO!!!! In viata mea nu am vazut o portiune de nas asha!!! Doar in videoclipuri! Nu pot sa cred ca se poate sa ai nas fara pori negri!!!!! Ma uit la portiunea aia din 10 in 10 min nu pot sa cred!!!!
      Cam atat am observat in 4 zile!!
      Nu stiu daca te-ai referit la ten uscat (ca derm sau ca suprafata) dar iti raspund si in caz ca ma intrebi de mi se usuca pielea! Eu nu am decat o senzatie de uscat, ca tenul pare foarte sanatos si nu mai luceste, nu am portiuni care se exfoliaze (mai ales unde am avut cosuri, inainte sa descopar lotiunea asta, locurile respective se exfoliau de mama focului si cand ma mai dadeam si cu pudra aratam ca un sarpe care isi schimba pielea). Acum locurile respective sunt doar fine, nici urma de piele care se cojeste. (am avut in primele doua zile unele cosuri de pe care mi s-a luat pielea dar s-a luat o bucata intreaga si o data data jos asta a fost tot!)
    • Problema mea era un amalgam de cosuri, semne si puncte negre!!! Daca as sti sa pun poze pe forum, as arata o poza mai recenta cu o groaza de semne si urme (desi eram machiata!!) si una de azi.....fara machiaj si fara urme, si fara puncte negre (doar putin cam lucioasa dar nu-mi mai pasa)
    • Andreica....semnele alea....deja aveau cam 4-5 saptamani (ideea e ca in fiecare dimineata aratau exact la fel, nici urma de vindecare) dar dupa 7 zile de lotiune, deja s-au decolorat (nu mai sunt rosii) insa, cum vb si tu ....mai sunt denivelari.Cred ca aste se duc in muuult mai mult timp....cred ca trebuie sa se exfolieze tenul de muuuult straturi de piele sa ajunga uniform! Insa, iti dai seama e mult mai ok asa, decat si cu denivelari si cu semne rosii! Si apropo, pe obrazul celalalt....mai am cateva urme (batalia a fost mai mare acolo!) deci nu e chiar perfect! Dar ce D-zeu sa mai vreau, dupa ce ca am gasit ceva care sa-mi opreasca monstrii, mai vreau si sa arat ca o zana in 3 zile ......am toata rabdarea din lume...mai ales ca imi place destinatia
    • I have tried everything...... Even spent 3000 on professional microderm and chemical peels and another couple thousand on every product under the sun. I always had good skin until I turned 25 and it's been uncontrollable since. Paulas 2% beta hydroxy acid liquid literally saved my life. Cleared my acne, got rid of post acne scars, and I haven't had even one breakout since....seriously not one. I'm a user for life.
    • I feel compelled to share my store in the hopes of helping just one person that is struggling with skin issues as I have! My struggle began with mild to moderate adult acne after the birth of my first child 9 years ago. It got so bad a year ago that I resorted to trying accutane because nothing else worked. (presecription drugs both oral and topical, expensive facials and peels, microderm abrasion). Long story short....Accutane was a living nightmare! The clogged pores (whiteheads) just muliplied rather than diminishing and I suffered extreme side effects! I finally gave up on accutane and in desparation I stumbled upon Paula's Choice while searching the internet for skin care products to repair the damage prescriptions had done to my skin. Paula's 2% BHA products saved my skin, my confidence, and my career in sales! (My bad skin was really starting to effect my confidence at work!) I started with the 2% BHA lotion (saw results pretty quickly but not totally clear), moved to the gel form (felt sticky on my skin but worked) and then finally tried the liquid form. I am now using the 2% BHA liquid daily and have almost completely cleared all clogged pores. The 2% liquid also helped my healthy glowing skin return. The exfoliation achieved from using this product repaired the dull, damaged skin i got from accutane! And even though I have a few very small clogged pores the healthiness of the surrounding skin more than out weighs that! I have only been using the liquid for 4 weeks so I anticipate continued improvement over time. LOVE THIS AND HOPE IT NEVER STOPS WORKING!
    • I've been using Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid for about 3 weeks now. My acne is generally light-moderate but I've been having quite bad chin breakouts, which I think have been caused by my birth control (I've come off it now). These breakouts have stemmed from dreaded under the skin bumps, and I've been using the BHA to try and get rid of them. My skin would be generally considered "normal", but can get a little dry sometimes. For about a week and a half after I started using the product I had a purging period, where I was getting little pustules on my cheek area. My chin breakouts (I normally had 1-2 at a time) also increased, and I probably had about 5-6! However, about 3 weeks in and I have no live acne (touch wood), just red marks. There is no drastic improvement in the under the skin bumps yet, but it hasn't been long. That said, the pores on my nose, forehead and cheeks are smaller and a milia I had under one eye has gone! My skin was a little dry at first, but I started using the BHA only once a day for the first week so my skin would adjust. Now my skin feels much softer, the texture is improved and it looks brighter and healthier.
    • I originally bought the gel formula of this product, and it was horrible on my face. The gel was great on the backs of my arms and totally helps with the bumpy skin there, but on my face it was sticky and almost greasy, and definitely left me looking shiny. The lotion formula is amazing, though. It leaves my skin well moisturized, but with a nice almost-matte finish. It sinks in quickly and leaves my skin feeling supple. Over time, it seems like it has improved my skin texture, and cut down on blackheads and minor breakouts. Plus, to my amazement, it has totally minimized any dry/flaky areas as long as I use it consistently under anything else I put on my face. A little bit goes a long way, which completely offsets the price. This makes my skin feel amazing. The only drawback is the shipping cost. I'll try to stock up whenever Paula offers a free shipping event.
    • I love this lotion! It is one of the more 'thicker' lotions that I've tried, but it absorbs into the skin so well and leaves a semi-matte finish. In the past I have tried all of Paula's BHA products. The gel was too 'greasy'. The liquid is great! It's the best for when I break out. But I can't use it on my skin when I'm not breaking out because it is too drying. This is not the case with the lotion. Even though I do use an AHA moisturiser, I do still love how my skin feels after being treated with BHA. The lotion allows me to use a BHA product all the time. I now use the BHA lotion frequently and i use the BHA liquid only when i break out and this system seems to work wonderfully.
    • This product has been a huge help for my cystic acne. As Paula Begoun describes on her web site, cystic acne occurs when oil glands become full of sebum that can't escape through the pores; they then rupture under the skin, creating incredibly painful, large, unsightly bumps. So one way to fight cystic acne is to keep the pores open and free of debris, oil, makeup, etc. that can clog them up. I've struggled with cystic acne on my chin for ten years, and consistent use of 2% BHA lotion has helped so much. It's not an overnight fix, but over time it improves the way my skin performs and helps keep it smooth and exfoliated. This product has also had a huge benefit for my boyfriend's life; he uses it after he shaves his face, to help prevent ingrown hairs. It is the first product that he has found that effectively prevents ingrown hairs, bumps, and redness caused by shaving. It's also an effective way to get him to consistently use lotion on his face, which tends to be dry in the autumn and winter. I love that this product is truly unscented; I hate using any scented product on my skin, as fragrances really irritate it. My only problem with the product is that it can be a bit difficult to rub in; I feel like it used to absorb more quickly, so I wonder if they changed the formula within the last two years.
    • Another HG from Paula for me... this along with some other of her products has given me the skin I always wanted... I alternate nights with this, prescription Retin A, and Paula's AHA gel... and my skin has transformed from extremely sensitive, reactive, acne prone, combo skin into normal skin...
    • This is my staple exfoliant, I am almost never without it. If I stop using it for a couple days (like if I forgot to order some from the Paula's Choice website) I start to really notice pores getting clogged and pimples starting to form. If I go for a week without it my boyfirend says 'Do you need to order some more Paula's?' LOL. Been using it three years now. I have tried the gel forms and the liquid, and prefer the lotion- although I have noticed with my last bottle, the texture seems just a little different- instead of absorbing smoothly into skin, it seems to form more of a whitish film at first, before then sinking in fully. I have not noticed any difference in the way the product performs however. I love this stuff... I won't be with out it.
    • The first time I tried this product was last year, in winter. It was OK but I thought it was nothing special. I used it only 2-3 times a week because I was afraid that it would dry out my skin or it would be too harsh etc. I did not realize any special result with that usage. BUT NOW!!! I started to use it every day before night, and it is so wonderful on my skin! It became smooth, my pores are smaller, my skin tone is brighter than ever! :) And - even if I have combination skin, with some dry areas on my cheek - it did not dried out my skin or did not irritate it at all! I am so happy with this product. I think the most important thing is that you HAVE to use it every day. (But do not forget to use a sunscreen!). I am just wondering maybe I should try the liquid version (some reviewer says that it is more effective than the lotion). Overall I think it is a great product.
    • I had been using the 2% gel and switched to the lotion. Both products are great, I just wanted something more moisturizing. I swear my skin has never looked better since I've been using these. I use the lotion once a day (at night) and the results are amazing. My 35 year old skin looks soft and wrinkle-free. I had been getting an occasional crater-like zit on my chin (where I tend to have more oiliness), but not any more. I will definitely purchase again!
    • I ordered the reformuated version of the lotion last week, and while it is noticably thicker I don't have any problems with it rubbing in or or leaving a white cast. Even worn under my sunscreen and makeup there are no issues. Maybe I wasn't all that attached to the old formula, I went through several samples but did not use an entire bottle. It has been keeping my skin clear and soft, and i will continue to use it.
    • Wow! HG product for me! I've been using PC 1% BHA lotion for about a year and have been happy with the results. However, my skin gets a bit flaky with the onset of colder weather, so I purchased some sample packages of her 2% BHA lotion to test. I had been using the 1% BHA every night, but with the 2% BHA lotion I've had to cut back to two or three times a week, depending on how sensitive my skin is feeling. But what a difference those two or three uses make! My skin looks much smoother, less visible pores, far fewer blackheads, and much less redness. It seemed contrary to me that a higher percentage of an acid would actually reduce the redness of my skin, but that's what's been happening to me. So in a month's use of the 2% BHA lotion (2/3 times a week) my skin is less red, pores look smaller, blackheads disappearing, and lines softened . . . what more could I ask for?

    * Selectii de pe forumul eLady si adoratul meu makeupalley.


    Si opiniile pozitive ar putea continua la nesfarsit. Cu mentiunea ca exista aversiune fata de reformularea produsului, in sensul ca varianta noua se absoarbe mai greu in piele. Nu ma descurajeaza perspectiva.
    Evident, nu va ganditi ca e holy grail si ca 100% dintre consumatori au cazut pe spate de incantare....de exemplu pe makeupalley procentul e de 71%, dar asta nu inseamna ca nu-i un produs bun si ca nu ar putea face minuni pentru unele dintre noi. Am avut si cosmeticale cu procent muuuuuuult mai mic, o planeta intreaga le detesta si eu le ridicam altar pentru ca eram entuziasmata de efect. Asa ca mi-as dori foarte tare sa o folosesc, poate sunt una din norocoase. A mai incercat-o cineva?

    Monday issues

    • In sfarsit, i s-a facut mila tatei si mi-a dus masina la reparat......la prima vedere, am eu iar halucinatii si n-au franele nimic domne'.....cine naiba cunoaste mai bine masina mea decat mine????!!!! Stiu foarte bine cat si cum imi tineau franele in mod obisnuit. As vrea sa i se para la fel iscusitului mecanic si cand franeaza brusc si se duce ca sania spre cei din fata, incapabil s-o mai poata opri, asteptand numai sa auda bufnitura. Nu pot sa stau fara ea, prefer sa traiesc fara mobil decat fara masina. E un cartier periferic, piatra cubica, balti si pamant galben cat incape ca sa ai de ce sa freci la hainele si incaltarile patate sau stropite de cei ce trec pe langa, plus vecini dubiosi. Nu multumesc, eu nu mai merg pe jos aici, nici treningul si sapca nu ma ajuta sa scap fara macar cateva trivialitati daca nu vreo palma peste fund.
    • Am inceput sa folosesc crema depigmentanta Retetele bunicii Agafia. Desi initial nu am realizat ce se intampla, am constatat ca mirificul Retin A mi-a lasat un cadou deloc neglijabil : hiperpigmentatii. Ce-i drept eu nu am folosit crema cu factor de protectie mare cat l-am aplicat, dar fiind iarna si plimbarea in lumina insemnand masina-locatia vizata chiar nu m-a dus capul ca o sa patesc ceva. L-am intrerupt in februarie, la soare serios si voit m-am expus abia de prin mai. Fiind foarte multe pete (asa multe ca mai degraba zici ca-s galbena cu pete albe decat invers), si cred ca putin dusa cu plata eu, nu mi-am dat seama ca e ceva in neregula. Zona ochilor era intr-adevar mai alba, credeam ca e normal. Vara insa deja era clar, in zona ochilor am ramas mai deschisa iar petele s-au accentuat rezultand un bronz "jegos". Da, stiu, suna aiurea dar asa si era...parca mi-as fi pus autobronzant pe tenul nepregatit, necuratat, fara gomaj si hidratare. Era stringent sa incep sa folosec ceva depigmentant, si cum nu stateam foarte bine cu banii si oricum sunt adepta Plafarului am zis sa dau o sansa apreciatului brand rusesc. Cel mult pierd 14 lei, si chiar daca nu ma ajuta sa refac pielea beneficiez de hidratare. Ca sa fiu sigura ca nu afectez cumva valentele produsului, chiar ma straduiesc sa aplic constant si ca la carte. Deci, hidratare continua, ca altfel detest procedura si mai saream peste.
    • Mi-am cumparat Brevoxyl. Nu fac greseala sa aplic peste tot, e alt fotosensibilizant si realizeaza peeling intens (teoretic, practic inca nu am patit-o). Pun pur si simplu un strop pe locul problema. Am povestit ca dupa sarbatori am inceput sa am cand si cand 1-2 imperfectiuni gen muscatura de tantar, o mica umflatura rosie careia chiar nu aveam ce ii face. In viata mea nu am avut asa ceva, imperfectiunile mele erau doar puncte in piele, fara sa difere la culoare. Lately, imi iesea saptamanal macar una, si fix prin mijlocul obrazului. Nu mare, dar enervanta, imi statea in creier. Se pare ca am avut o idee buna, cel putin pana acum Brevoxyl chiar le diminueaza si retrage. Nu peste noapte, insa nici nu trag cate o saptamana cum pateam. Si nici nu mai ajung rosu semafor sa se vada din avion, iar relieful e nesemnificativ. Sper sa nu imi schimb parerea.
    • Am fost la Terranova dupa pantalonii pana leather-like. Nu mai erau. M-am imbufnat, e greu sa gasesc asa ceva aici si unde mai pui ca erau 50 lei. Nu vreau colanti, e plin de ei si nici nu am chef sa port ceva mulat in halul ala. In schimb, am gasit scurti. Nu ma gandeam ca mi-ar sta bine, dar amintindu-mi ca imi doresc o fusta mini din piele am zis ca ar fi o alternativa. Mai ales ca n-ar mai trebui sa imi fac griji cum ma asez. Am probat, mi-au placut, am zburat la casa : 20 lei, redusi de la 80. Lucky me! As vrea sa ii port in club cu o bluza larguta din voal negru, alta pe care nu stiu daca am avut unde o imbraca de 3 ori in 2 ani de cand o am. Sper sa apuc pana la 30 ani, cand se ducea lumea in club nu ieseam eu din motiv de pitici pe creier, cand vreau eu s-au plictisit ei si nu mai servesc. :)
    • Ma trimisese mama sa ma uit de ceva la Altex, si in drum am trecut involuntar pe langa Leonardo. M-am gandit daca sa intru sau nu, si asa nu mai aveam bani si nici chef sa mi se faca rau langa vreun model de cizme reduse. Inevitabilul s-a produs. Sunat disperata o prietena aflata prin zona, adus restul sumei necesare, inhatat minunatiile gri faux suede. Sunt cam pana la jumatatea genunchiului, dar le poti intoarce sa aiba manseta de blanita. Tocurile ma inspaimanta, am reusit sa stau si sa merg pe ele, dar le declar cu siguranta genul masina-masa din bar/restaurant. Sunt huge. Au ceva platforma, dar tot ametitoare raman. Sper ca macar sa nu fie incomode si la stat jos, sa ma trezesc pe scaun ca ma ia durerea de cap de la discomfortul produs de calapodul abrupt. Nu stiu daca pot sa conduc cu ele, dar abia astept sa le "defilez". Macar de-un OOTD.
    • In sfarsit m-am programat la pensat pentru maine, am fost multumita de forma data in ziua de Revelion de noua cosmeticiana. A reusit sa le stilizeze mai unghiular, din ciudateniile alea native - rare, fine, deloc arcuite, foarte diferite. Una e dreapta, alta mai rotunjita si inalta. Abia astept, la mine nefiind bogate nu se diferentiaza conturul lor de firele crescute aiurea si imediat se atenueaza forma data din penseta si tuns. Pentru cele din Craiova, tipa lucreaza la M&S aproape de semafoarele din Severinului. O cheama Dorina si am ajuns la ea dupa ce am auzit nspe cliente incantate. Eu ma consider un caz dificil si mi se pare ca s-a descurcat cel mai bine din tot ce am incercat de la 17 ani incoace. Pretul super ok, 13 lei pensat si 10 vopsit. Apropo de vopsit, trebuie sa alegem alta nuanta. Am parul deschis acum, adio negru.
    • N-am avut deloc chef de mancare....un frappe fierbinte la prima ora, un cappuccino inainte de pranz, apoi am mers pe jos mult fiindca nu mai am masina. La cat eram de obosita cand am venit, si bosumflata ca iarasi am degetele varza fiindca nu exista incaltari care sa nu ma bata cand merg mult in ele, chiar nu mi-a mai venit sa ma indop. Cred ca deja ma ia astenia de primavara, as minti insa sa spun ca regret ca nu am deloc pofta de mancare. As you know, i'm into skinny. The thiner, the better. N-am eu noroc sa ajung scheletica asa ca don't worry, nu-i constitutia mea.
    • Iau pastile cu drojdie si B-uri. Am vazut la Adela obiceiul si am dat fuga la Plafar sa vad ce mi se recomanda. Dacia Plant, 3 capsule pe zi. Nu vad diferente la piele, am aproape 3 saptamani, insa observ ca nu mai naparlesc. Nu imi cadea parul, dar mereu lasam cateva fire pe scaunul masinii, haine, covoare. Si parca nu mai e asa. Habar nu am daca are legatura, dar continui sa le iau. As adauga si Zinc, indispensabil pentru imbunatatirea aspectului tenului. O sa pun pe listuta. Cele cu drojdie sunt cam aiurea, capsulele sunt foarte mari si pana le inghit apuc sa le simt gustul.
    • Imi plesneste capul, ma gandesc la lipsa jobului....azi cu problema masinii m-am lovit din nou de imposibilitatea de a-mi plati ce imi este necesar, mai ales cand e vorba de sume asa mari. Dand socoteala tatei trebuie sa suport si amanari si discutii referitoare le eventuala mea culpa in viciile de functionare, am luat eu o dalta si un ciocan si i-am stricat franele si servo. Nici nu mai pomenesc de sentimentul de inutilitate, timpul care se scurge fara sa simti ca ai realizat ceva remarcabil. I'd really use some fairy dust....u know, old man, if it's true you know what you're doing, now would be the right time to give me a drop of chance....doza mea de incredere si optimism s-a cam dus.
    • Defilez in pas de gala spre bucatarie, sa-mi fac un ceai de vanilie. Il merit. :)
    Hugs, si sper sa aveti rabdare pana ma reapuc de postari "serioase".

    I'd like to try : Toni&Guy Boost-It Mousse




    Sa spunem ca introduc o noua rubrica : ce mi-ar placea sa testez, eventual sa si am. Nu in baza glitterului ce inconjoara reclamele din revistele glossy, oricum nu mai sunt la curent pentru ca nu le mai cumpar decat pentru cine stie ce cadou rezonant si rentabil. Ci descoperindu-le pe forumuri si bloguri, asociate cu multe review-uuri cel putin favorabile.

    De data aceasta, pofta zilei (to be continued la nesfarsit, pana la proba contrarie) consta in spuma volumizatoare Boost-It, Toni&Guy. Cautam de fapt un alt review pe makeupalley cand am zarit titlul si procentul considerabil de adoratori : 90%. Eu nu folosesc produse de modelare si fixare datorita experientelor neplacute - textura nesuferita, aspect ponosit, dar mai ales a temerii ca deteriorez parul. Ce-i drept, nici nu am avut la dispozitie produse profesionale si varietate larga incat sa pot spune ca am testat tot ce s-a putut si mi-am facut o opinie acurata si motivata. Nu as putea sa arunc toata ziua o suma mare in cautarea produsului potrivit, sa dau 70-80 lei azi si maine sa il abandonez nemultumita ca sa incerc altul and so on.
    De cand cu pudra label.m mi s-a pus grav pe "asedierea" radacinilor, sa se mai trezeasca si ele la viata. Parul e foarte lung, fin, rar, sanse minime deci sa aiba vitalitate si volum natural. Chiar mi-as dori sa il ajut sa para mai bogat in crestet caci prima impresie a celor din jur e ca poate nu l-ai spalat proaspat si s-a ingrasat la radacina. Nu ma intereseaza pe lungime, doar crestetul l-as vrea mai "expandat".
    Iata cam cum suna opiniile consumatoarelor Boost it :


    • This is the only mousse I have tried that actually works. It leaves my hair soft, my hair isn't left with that awful crispiness and stickiness feeling and the volume and hold lasts all day. Although I think the packaging could be improved I would definitely buy this again.

    • I find the formulation to be sometimes a little runny despite shaking the life out of the bottle, so I'm surprised that it actually works pretty well! It adds volume effectively without stickiness, greasiness or crispiness. I apply it to my roots and it gets significant lift and movement into my hair. My roots ordinarily get greasy very quickly (I have to wash my hair daily), but using a little of this mousse on them actually seems to normalise/balance them. And even though it keeps the root oilies temporarily at bay, I don't find the mousse too drying when I sometimes run it through the (much drier) lengths and ends of my hair. I like the fact I can use this product with my blowdry and my hair retains body all day. The UK price is also a plus point - I got mine as part of a 3-for-£10 promo in Boots. I've checked yes to repurchase although I'll probably try something else next time (purely because I've got little experience of using mousse, so would like to see how other brands compare.)

    • I love this hair mousse, first of all because of the fragrance which is common I think to a lot of their products, it just smells divine! I have bought the travel size just to be able to try it first, as the big bottle is a bit expensive, although I am definitely buying it now. It leaves the hair more receptive to the styling I think and although you feel a bit of residue on it while drying, but that's gone when it's dry, the mousse adds body, strength and fragrance to the hair, which is really nice.

    • Personally, I love the Boost It Mousse, I think the packaging is really cute and I think it does a good job at creating volume. It's not particularly heavy or sticky if you apply it with a light hand, too much and it will weigh your hair down but I mean, I see that will all products I use on my hair. The volume lasts for a good while too and the smell is a little bit strong, but I'm not the kind of person that's bothered by that.
    • Overall, I'd say give it a go, and Boots sells mini versions that you can try out first to see if you like it, so if you don't, it's not that big of a deal.

    • I am very impressed with this product as it creates volume without being sticky or without making your hair greasy. The trick is to not put too much on and to blow dry your hair upside down or using a round brush to encourage the voulume even more.

    • I have tried many thickening sprays and mousse and this seems to be one of the more effective. It is not sticky and lasts all day. It has a distinctive smell but I don't find it unpleasant. It doesn't weigh my hair down at all.

    • This worked really well for me, it creates great volume and root lift, my hair feels manageable and not at all sticky. I've noticed it lasts all day and there is no visible build and my hair didn't feel "dirty". One negative though: I'm not so keen on the powdery smell, it's quite strong and I can feel it all day, it seems to even overpower my fragrance!

    • I bought this in a mini version at Boots, but went straight back the next day to buy me a full size. The trick is to spray the "mousse" directly on your roots, and distribute is afterwards. It give my asian limp-though-wavy hair more lift, volume and hold. Most of the time when I use a volumizing product the effect is gone after an hour. This one lasts.

    • I can't get too excited about it but I have tried much more expensive mousses which aren't nearly as good.
    • I bought it to add body to my fine rather limp hair. I use quite a lot, especially at the roots, and it does help to give volume. It's not sticky and doesn't make your hair go crispy, as some other mousses do.
    • I always wanted to try a lifting product, but the numerous brands on the shelf are all too confusing! I am glad I tried Toni & Guy Boost It Mousse though! It is very simple to use (great for beginners)! You just spray to the areas needed, and comb through. It gives a great root lift, makes hair sleek and smooth, and holds any hairstyle. Simply an ace styling product for any occasions!
    • I use this when I want a bit of added volume to my hair. It smells really great and works very well. It's a little bit expensive for mousse but it's worth it.
    • i bought this mousse after having my one length bob razor cut and wanted that out of bed sexy ruffled look to my newly restyled bob. i have good condition hair so it can have a tendancy to fall flat, but this product is wonderful for adding texture and fullness. the only downside is that the fragrance is rather strong, but c'est la vie! i'm going to stick with it none-the-less because it gives me the tousled messed up bed-head boost i want!
    • I would say that this mousse quite does what it says on the can, but it is nice and light and not sticky like some mousses. It is quite expensive, though you don't need to use very much, so definately value for money. Look out for Boots' 3for2, as it's frequently on offer and worth stocking up on! - true, l-am vazut pe boots.

    HAIR MAGIC MUST HAVE! - label.m Resurrection Style Dust




    Mami, de data asta nu-i vina mea ca poftesc...blame it on Ema ca mi-a dat ideea! :)) Cele cu par fin, rar si lipsit de volum la radacina vor avea pupile-spirala. Cel putin eu sunt hipnotizata de perspectiva :


    "Apoi am incercat un produs special pentru volum marca Label.m (latura profesionala a produselor comerciale Toni&Guy): Resurrection Style Dust. Produsul este excelent, este o pudra uscata volumizatoare care se autoelectrizeaza si are un efect efervescent. Pur si simplu ridica radacina firului. Produsul costa cca. 80 ron (cam scump), se poate cumpara de aici: http://www.shopmania.ro/magazin~online-cosmetice-pentru-femei~produs-pudra-pentru-volum-label-m-cosmetice~p-9082045.html.
    Un review aici: http://www.beautyjunkielondon.com/2010/01/labelm-resurrection-style-dust-review.html. "



    Iata review-ul realizat de A beauty junkie in London :


    "Volumionous hair seems to be the number one hair request now a days - well, at least it is for me anyway. I have long hair, that is fine and generally quite flat and quite a pain in the bum to get looking like it has any volume. Over the years I have picked up a whole load of tricks (blow drying upside down, hairspray, not using too much conditioner etc etc) but I am always in search of miracle products that give me a little more oomph. I recently found one in the shape of LUSH Big Shampoo which I reviewed recently. But I have also found another one that I wanted to share my review of: Label.M Resurrection Style Dust.
    With a name like Resurrection Style Dust I think the first thing that I thought was that it would be like dry shampoo, but this couldn't be further from the truth. This is a magical product that you use as a finishing step to hair styling, to give hair a boost and help get the volumised, bed-head look.
    The dust comes in a small pot that is a similar size to a large bottle of nail varnish. This might sound weird, but it's fascinating to look at the dust if you give the pot a shake - it is so fine that a small shake puffs the powder up and then it gradually deflates as the weight of the powder pushes the air out. I know, this sounds a bit bizarre - but it actually helps demonstrate how clever the powder is. It is so fine that it almost weighs the same as air - a good thing when you are on the quest of volume.
    So, enough about looking at the product - how does it work? (and more importantly DOES it work?) To use this powder - you simply shake the pot to dispense a *tiny* amount to the roots. Then, scrunch the roots up with your fingers to get the hair poofed (yes, that's a technical term).
    So, does it deliver? It does, there is no doubt that this product delivers volume. I really like it, but there are a few points about it that may mean that it wont suit everyone. The powder creates messy volume and feels a bit sticky as it turns into a paste-like texture when applied - the messy texture isn't necessarily what everyone wants, so if you are looking for a neat style then this wont be for you. I also know that some people don't like the sort of product you can feel - as my Mum says, hair feels 'clarty' (she means dirty) - then you probably won't like this. You do have to be careful not to use too much or else hair will feel *too* sticky but it won't necessarily add any extra volume than using just a small amount.
    It should also be noted that this isn't a product to be used all over - just at the roots, I use it on the crown area to create really localised volume.
    Having said that this is a product you can feel, one of the things I really like about it is that it is one you can 'resurrect' (see what I did there) throughout the day. If you feel your hair is dropping a bit, all you need to do is scrunch up your roots again where you applied the product and the volume will be revived - just like magic.
    Label.M Resurrection Style Dust costs £9.25 from Toni and Guy salons. I think this is pretty good value and only using a tiny amount means the product will last a really long time. I was sent this to review but will definitely buy this again when my sample runs out. If you want some messy root volume, or a bed head style then I think this is worth a look - as long as you factor in the points I mentioned earlier to decide if this is the product for you."


    Vogue. com :


    "With frizzy, dishevelled hair making a comeback for spring/summer 2009, and a lived-in, bed-head texture dominating the London autumn/winter 2009-10 catwalks, Label.M's Resurrection Style Dust has fast become a Beauty Editor's favourite backstage find. A combination of dry shampoo and sea salt spray, that was the Toni & Guy team's key kit product at LFW, the fine powder adds an instantly volumised, distressed and fluffy finish to hair, and an edgy boost to styles when applied throughout the day (or night). Sprinkle at roots and rough-up with fingers for tousled lengths and mussed-up up-dos. £9.25, available from Toni & Guy salons nationwide. "



    some forum PRO :

    • I've got to say when I was shown this by a friend I was a little bit dubious... it effectively looks like talc in a bottle, so a white powder basically. However, as the bottle was transparrent and was half full so when she shook it up my eyes were on stalks! It basically filled the whole bottle and even though it was a powder, it seemed to be behaving like a liquid, swishing about and filling the whole area - weird! What this product does is gives your hair the equivalent finish as backcombing, but without having to put a comb anywhere near your hair (although you can use it in conjunction with backcombing but my goodness your hair would be MAHOOOSIVE!), so whatever style you're trying to create, be it a high fringe/quif, a beehive, a classic pleat or if you simply want to add more volume, then this product is immense! I'm aware there are a few other brands out there doing this type of thing but I certainly don't think there is another product on the market that creates this type of effect. BIG HAIR! As we all probably know, big hair is all the rage at the moment, and for that reason I think this product is definitely going to be the thing to use. I can't even explain what it does or how it does it, but (for all those bakers out there), it contains baking powder, so it kind of gives the same effect to your hair as it would if you added that to a cake -it fluffs it up! Its weird stuff, that's for sure, but it works so well.
    • This styling dust is perfect for second day hair. I use it sprinkled on the roots, and it gives my nearly waist length hair amazing volume. You only need the slightest amount, too much can look powdery. It adds texture and makes it easier to keep the style you want in place.
    • this product really does give great volume! Gives sexy bed head hair
    • I brought some online after a recomendation from my mums hair dresser. I love this, my hairs never really stayed put when Ive back combed it until i used this. Its really easy to use too and you only need a tiny bit
    • i love this stuf...you pick up a section of hair near your rooots, sprinkle it on, then rub it in. once you rubs it put the section of hair down and then you can shape your pushing it up for volume x
    • This tiny pot of Resurrection dust can perform miracles! If you have inherited limp, fine hair but have always dreamt of having a Brigitte Bardot bouffant, then try this. All you need to do is shake the pot, sprinkle a small amount onto your roots and fluff your hair up a bit for instead volume. It leaves your hair feeling slightly rubbery but it really does work.
    • I am well known for my love of ‘volume at the crown’ hairdo’s, and whilst Cheryl is the queen of this, we can’t all afford hair extensions to achieve said voom and volume. I have resorted to back-combing over the years, but this is terrible for hair- but now, I have found THE MOST AMAZING product- Label M’s Resurrection Style Dust. When you shake it in the bottle the powder instantly inflates like magic and this is basically what it does to the root of the hair when amplified with fingertips. This combination of dry shampoo and sea salt spray not only adds volume but gives hair an amazing boost whenever you need it!! I’m obsessed and I urge you all to try…. For day or night big do’s!!
    • My flat hair sends me into such despair that I'm always hunting for a product that will give it instant lift. So when I discovered label.m's Resurrection Style Dust I was an immediate convert. Sprinkle a little of this hair powder around your roots, smoozhe it through with your fingers (and yes, I like to think that's a technical term) and hey presto - major volume! I also love the way the tube is small enough to keep in my bag for a post-work beauty fix.


    Evident, exista si pareri negative....si aspectul nr. 1 este textura prafoasa, dar eu nu m-as impiedica de asta la evenimentele speciale. Pana la urma nu are cum sa reziste o coafura pe par fin si moale daca nu pui un bax de fixativ si nu il tapezi, si parca tot nu sta cum ti-ai dori. Asa ca mai bine imi suna sa pun o pudra doar la radacina si sa masez pana se "umfla".


    O alternativa ce aparea chiar mai des glorificata este Osis Dust It de la Schwarzkopf. Vizionand videoclipul, la related videos veti gasi o multitudine de demos privind acest produs:

    Sampon uscat Batiste Brunette



    Dupa cum o parte din voi stia deja, saptamana trecuta am primit de la Camelia spre testare acest sampon despre care tot citeam pe alte bloguri si mi-l doream foarte tare. Motivul meu era chiar functia de baza - improspatarea rapida a parului in momente speciale cand nu ai timp sau nu ti-e la indemana metoda clasica. Avand parul foarte lung si nefolosind niciodata pheon, ritualul meu dureaza destul de mult, cca 3 ore, fiindca mai trebuie sa stau si cu masca 30 min si se usuca greu desi e fin si rar. Nu o data a trebuit sa renunt la a mai merge undeva din cauza ca ma anuntau prea tarziu ca sa mai fiu gata in timp rezonabil, deja toate prietenele mele stiu ca mie trebuie sa-mi spuna cu o zi inainte daca vor sa iesim ca sa imi pot urma pasii obisnuiti : cateva ore imbalsamat cu ulei de masline pe lungime ( multe, chiar si o noapte/zi intreaga), spalat, aplicat masca 30-40 min, uscat natural 2-3 ore dupa - cum are si el chef. Asa ca imediat am rezonat cand am auzit intai de aparitia sampoanelor uscate, la vremea aceea fiind vorba de Klorane. Pretul cam mare si gasirea permanenta a altor prioritati m-a facut sa aman de fiecare data achizitionarea, pana anul acesta cand activand in blogger am descoperit Batiste si mai toata lumea a luat "microbul". E si mai ieftin decat Klorane, si in plus exista o larga varietate din care sa poti alege varianta adecvata. Inclusiv recipiente mini, pentru o depozitare mai usoara. Dar mai multe informatii gasiti aici :

    "Sampon uscat - solutia pentru parul care se ingrasa prea repede

    Samponul uscat de la Batiste este cel mai popular sampon uscat de pe piata. Acesta poate fi utilizat intre 2 spalari de par, pentru a reimprospata parul, fara a-l uda. Este ideal cand esti pe fuga si nu ai timp suficient pentru a-ti spala parul, si mai ales iarna, cand nu este recomandat sa-ti speli parul apoi sa iesi afara in frig. Acesta absoarbe uleiul in exces, improspateaza, sterilizeaza, odorizeaza si reda volumul si aspectul curat al parului. (doar in cateva minute). Cantitatea unui spray este de 150 ml si este de ajuns pentru mai multe saptamani chiar si in cazul folosintei zilnice."

    Nu mi se ingrasa parul prea repede, am scalp normal. Mai devreme de 5 zile nu am nevoie sa il spal si pot merge chiar pana la 6-7 daca ignor lipsa volumului ce accentueaza cantitatea infima si frustranta. Dar mi-ar prinde bine o reimprospatare a radacinilor intre spalari, nu suport sa le vad vlaguite avand in vedere ca oricum sunt "lesinate" nativ. Nu pot spune ca se ung, dar se suviteaza un pic si atunci chiar ca par a avea 100 fire in tot capul. Camelia mi l-a daruit tocmai din acest motiv, incercandu-l a constatat ca da un volum remarcabil si s-a gandit ca ma va ajuta sa scap de cel mai stringent neajuns de care ma tot plangeam. Eu fiind impotriva coafatului ce implica instrumente de tortura incinse si produse fixatoare, nu prea am nimic la indemana in a-l face sa para mai bogat. Doar bigudiurile clasice, dar le simt ca pe cuie in scalp noaptea, nu pot dormi cu ele. Evident ca mi-au sclipit ochii imaginandu-mi cum o sa mi se umfle parul cam ca in reclama de la Taft. :)

    Imi place cum miroase, foarte, foarte mult. Sunt subiectiva. Miroase a D&G Light Blue, sau cel putin asa cum mirosea aroma mentionata pe pielea mea. E unul din parfumurile mele preferate si ce imi puteam dori mai mult decat sa il simt si in par? Nu am avut niciodata ceva special conceput, oricum ofertele sunt putine si nu ai putea alege fix ce iti placea si ca EDP, iar sa imi torn apa de parfum in cap nu mi-ar surade niciodata. In primul rand ca alcoolul agreseaza, il al doilea rand ca ceva din ele ingrasa firul.

    Textura ma speria putin inainte sa il folosesc. Citind "brunette" ma gandeam la o pudra densa si neagra, si eu chiar cu o zi inainte de a merge sa ridic samponul de la Posta imi deschisesem mult culoarea. E un saten deschis aluna sa zic, foarte asemanator cu radacinile pentru ca am hotarat sa nu il mai vopsesc deloc si ma stresa diferenta de nuante pana creste. Procedura e self-invented, am mai vorbit despre ea aici. Am sa atasez si ceva poze, insa nu reflecta intocmai realitatea fiindca sunt facute fara blitz le fereastra la aproape 5 dupa-amiaza, deci mai intunecate. Din experienta, culoarea mea va ajunge aproximativ ca in imaginea aceasta dupa un numar de spalari, doar ca momentan e ceva mai inchisa intentionat. Daca o lasam de la inceput atat de deschisa cat voiam, cand se mai diminua de pe suvitele pre-decolorate ajungeam spre blond roscat si imi taiam capul. :)
    Ei bine, mi-am cam facut griji la gandul ca pun o pudra neagra peste saten deschis si ca o sa arat de parca am trecut prin norul de funingine. Din fericire, nu a fost cazul. Desi pe dopul tubului se vedea ca a iesit ceva negru, la radacina arata un gri deschis si dupa ce am masat si pieptanat cum mi se recomanda nu mi-a ramas nimic vizibil sau inestetic. Nu l-am intins peste tot, am zis sa nu consum degeaba prea mult cat timp doar radacina incepuse sa dea semne de lasare (btw, pe eticheta scrie sa nu il folositi abia cand parul s-a uns de tot, ci cand da primele semne. Bine ca am citit ieri, eu aveam de gand sa il las sa se ponoseasca asa mult ca si pentru spalare normala). L-am uniformizat doar pana la barbie, cam pana unde arata oarecum a bob din cauza bretonului in crestere. Si mama lui, incet mai creste, e lasat din mai.
    Senzatia a fost ciudata....mi se parea ca mi s-a prafuit parul, eu sunt invatata cu el moale si matasos cat sa alunece clama sau elasticul de pe el, ori acum era un pic aspru. Intr-adevar, se umflase putin, partea egala cu bretonul chiar statea mai "aranjata", ca din perie si pheon sa zic. Probabil ca daca mai puneam si insistam reuseam sa ii dau si mai mult volum. Insa radacina in sine nu mi s-a parut ca s-ar ridica cine stie ce, poate nici nu am aplicat cat si cum trebuie fiind prima oara. De fapt cred ca nici nu am acoperit tot scalpul. Oricum, arata mai bine avand in vedere ca restul statea mai "teapan" decat de obicei - parul meu natural arata ca intins cu placa, usor ondulat spre varfuri.
    Chiar nu mai existau urme de ingrasare si nici vlaguit nu mai era, atat ca mi-e greu sa ma obisnuiesc asa repede cu textura usor poroasa, imi venea sa imi bag mereu degetele in el. Acum dupa 1 zi nu il mai simt aspru, e normal la atingere, si nici nu s-a reluat procesul de ingrasare. Ma gandesc ca nu trec de ziua de maine, totusi. Dar volum nu mai am, si nici nu ma mira avand in vedere ca niciodata nu imi rezista nicio coafura prea multe ore chiar daca imi pune tipa tone de fixativ.

    Pe scurt, eu l-as recumpara fara ezitare, e vital cand esti la mama naibii si nu ai unde sa te speli sau cand lipseste timpul necesar si trebuie sa iesi pe usa in 10-15 minute. Dar l-as folosi numai in astfel de situatii exceptionale, in nici un caz regulat, doar din pura comoditate. Imi place cum se simte parul meu dupa ulei + sampon obisnuit+ masca (si am sa ii iau si un ser pentru varfuri si stralucire, m-a facut cineva de curand si arata mirror-like), imi place cum se simte cand trec mana prin el si toata lumea din jur admira tocmai aceasta calitate....ori cu Batiste e un pic mai aspru. Poate exagerez eu necunoscand in 27 ani decat varianta moale si silky, pana la urma nu il poti avea si umflat si fin, matasos.


    Am o prietena care isi pune cam in fiecare seara pudra de talc la radacina. E bruneta, dar maseaza bine si dimineata nu mai are urme albe. Probabil ca pana la un punct tehnica se aseamana cu actiunea samponului uscat, doar ca nu-i la fel de practica si poate nici sanatoasa. Plus ca dureaza mai mult aplicarea si nu e nici minimalista, mai pui si pe covor/gresie. Parul ei chiar are volum, e genul acela tuns in straturi cu calota mai umflata, eu ar trebui sa il tapez sa stea asa. Face asta cam de 1 an cel putin, si e foarte multumita. Nu am incercat, mi-e frica sa imi pun talc la radacina. Mai degraba imi vine sa pun sampon uscat decat talc.

    • Multumesc Cameliei pentru ca m-a ajutat sa il incerc fara sa investesc si sa risc sa fiu dezamagita, acum stiu ca merita sa il am in casa.

    Puteti remarca in imagini ca partea egala cu bretonul, acel "bob" involuntar pana creste nemernicul, chiar a prins viata ca aranjat cu peria. De obicei e drept, cele care au vazut poze cu mine stiu cum arata nativ. Eu chiar numai pana acolo am uniformizat samponul, insa nu cred ca se umfla si mai jos pentru ca e foarte lung si nu are trepte. Oricum, nici nu imi doream volum si in jos ci doar in partea superioara, sa nu mai para asa rar si lesinat. O sa fac poze si intr-o zi insorita sa se vada mai bine culoarea, desi cred ca se observa clar diferenta fata de saten inchis.
