This summer two new sunscreens hit the market and This summer two new sunscreens hit the market and here’s my 3 month review. ☀️

👉🏼 Vichy came out with a tinted version of their UV Age daily fluid. I found it strange as the original doesn’t leave a white cast. But I was on the lookout for a tinted spf and picked this up as I love the first one 💁🏻‍♀️ I’d say the tint is a true light/medium neutral and oxidizes to a bit darker shade as it dries down. It matches my skintone quite well, looks sort of like a subtle fake tan if anything. True tint, not a lot of coverage. Layers well when reapplied without looking patchy. 👌🏼 Nice base for make up too. Would definitely repurchase!

👉🏼 Swedish ACO jumped on the wagon and dropped its own affordable fluid sunscreen. Very elegant formula and finish! Love everything about it except that it leaves a slight white cast despite 100% chemical filters 😬 But it gives a perfect base for makeup so I’m not too bothered. Beyond that I’m super impressed with the texture and finish! 10/10! Will perhaps repurchase for winter as it’s one of few fluid spf’s with hydrating properties. 👌🏼

✨ End of year musings ✨ First of all, thanks ✨ End of year musings ✨

First of all, thanks to everyone who’s not my mom or an old acquaintance from my past lol for sticking around yet another slow content year❣️No hard feelings if you do an yearly clean up and I don’t make the cut for next year though 😅

As much as I would like to come back and deliver informative content like everyone else… I’ve had to accept that I shine brighter in other settings. IG may be a wonderful medium for others but for me it’s been nothing than hitting my head against the wall and complaining why my head hurts. 🤕 And since consciously taking a backseat in 2020, I’ve proven myself that I don’t suck as much as I had myself believe. In my case, if life throws you lemons don’t try to make lemonade, ask why and from where they’re being thrown. 😅 

✨2021 BEST… ✨

TV-show… White Lotus and Ted Lasso
- The fact that I just started binging Ted Lasso two days ago and it’s quickly become the best thing I’ve watched says a lot! 😂

Investment… @melissawoodhealth app
- Without a doubt❣️Stopped going to the gym, lifting and doing regular HIIT workouts, swapped it for walks and bite sized pilates. Finally lost the weight I gained and feeling comfortable in my skin. 🧘🏻‍♀️

Achievement… Luxury bargains and facing fears
- Price is relative, patience is gold, and facing fears makes you more bold. 😏

Life lesson… “You are not who you think you are”
- As we get older we often start identifying ourselves with certain behavior, smarts, and likes. We tell ourselves lies of who we are and what we’re capable of. Usually influenced by others around us, past beliefs and societal opinions. Lies limiting our truest potential and deepest desires. By ridding myself of old limiting beliefs I’ve surprised and even shocked myself with how multi-talented and diverse my identity can be. 💫 

On that note, I’ll end by wishing you all a happy new year! Hope you’ll tag along for the next ✨♥️
Don’t you just love it when an expensive product Don’t you just love it when an expensive product doesn’t work for you? Or maybe you hate it as it was a waste of money 😅😝

It’s really worth repeating that a higher price tag doesn’t always = amazing results. What I’ve learned is that there are many different factors at play when it comes to pricing. Some brands want to offer new and exclusive formulations with studies behind them. Which isn’t cheap. Others are just starting off small batch, wanting to make it full time. And some just want the rich as their target consumer (looking at you Dr Sturm 🧐). And that’s all fine. 💁🏻‍♀️

I forgot the point I wanted to make. 😅

✨🌸 CUSTOM HAIR CARE 🌸✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've been using @functionofbeauty since February when I got them for my birthday. This is a brand I've been eyeing since they launched. 😍 The idea of customized hair care appealed to me as I always felt I had to let go of certain aspects. If I want volume, I can't have moisture, and if I wanted curl action, I will not get volume, etc. With customized hair care, I can make a formula that checks all my boxes... Well, so I thought. 😅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've realized that there are a few issues surrounding customed stuff... 🙄 In the case of FoB, the customer is responsible to know their hair and what it needs. However, I would say, that the majority of us don't have a clue! 🙈 Like, in my case, I chose goals after my wants, not necessarily what my hair needs. 😶 You would think those two go hand in hand, but they don't!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While it didn't end up in disaster, my expectations weren't met. But I can't blame the product or the brand, because I chose the formula. 🤷🏻‍♀️ This brings me to my next issue...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are literally more than ten thousand combinations to try. Which is one too many if the first concoction doesn't work for you. I mean, I'd rather try out a different line, than try to puzzle the right pieces together. 🙇🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are other brands, like @prose (only US atm), where the customization is more like a consultation. So rather than you picking what you think would work, you do a quiz answering stuff about your hair and health. What's also interesting is that they take into account your environment and its humidity level. Which I think is genius! Nevertheless, even that won't totally guarantee the formula will work for you. 💁🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While I can only speak for _this particular formula_ and how it worked with _my hair_, if you are interested to read my experience hop on over to my blog! 👉🏼 link in bio.

Bumble & Bumble Getaway Curl Kit

Bumble & Bumble Getaway Set for Curls Review

Getaway Curl Set

Similar to the “Summer’s In The (H)Air”-kit of 2017 (review here), Bumble & Bumble came out with three new kits last year.
Same concept, slightly different content.
I’ve always wanting to try out their curl products! And when I saw it was my last chance to get this set, I jumped on it!

I have not seen Bumble & Bumble come out with similar kits for this year, at least none for curly hair.
Instead, they offer “Summer Style”-sets, The Air-Dry Set: with Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Shampoo & Conditioner + Don’t Blow It (Fine), and the Make Waves Set: with the new Surf Styling Leave-In and Iconic Surf Spray.

Bumble & Bumble Curl Primer and Curl Defining Creme review

Bb. Curl Pre-Style/Re-Style Primer

The Bumble & Bumble Curl Primer is said to moisturize, UV-protect, detangle and define on day one, and refreshes and re-shapes on day two (and beyond). And will work with all different hair types and curl patterns.
It’s got something called “Hydrasculpt Blend” that combines hydration with a trace of hold to help define curls.

I’ve been loving their Bb. Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Primer for a year now, but have felt like it’s not been great at revitalizing my waves – even making them straighter!
So I’ve been eyeing the Curl Primer on the notion that it does everything the Invisible Oil Primer does but is better for textured hair.

I was expecting it to have a more liquid consistency, but it has the same lotion-type texture as the Oil Primer. Still, The Bb. Curl Primer seems to be more water-based in its formula.
The product has a fine mist that sprays evenly onto the hair.
Unsurprisingly, the Curl Primer is better at revitalizing waves and curls. My waves reshape quite instantly as it is sprayed on.

What sets the two primers apart the most is that the Curl Primer does leave a little bit of grit/product feel. I suspect it’s the “Hydrasculpt Blend”. Although I’m not fond of the grit, it’s probably needed to be able to help shape the curls?
Despite the grit, which is sensed when it’s dried, it’s easy to detangle the hair. However, the grit may be its downfall, as it does make the hair have a “product-feel” to it after a few days of use. If you’re looking for a lighter leave-in conditioner, I’d say to primarily stick to the oil primer.

Fragrance-wise, the Curl Primer has a very perfumey-floral scent that comes off quite strong at first but that settles to faint at the end of the day.
For this reason, I do feel like the Curl Primer works better as a refresher than the Oil Primer, that has more of a mellow vanilla-scent to it. What I mean is, that if I’m going out, I’ll be likely to get more compliments on how nice my hair smells with the Curl Primer than the Oil Primer.

Overall, if you like me, hate the heavy grit and drying properties of beach sprays and want a softer feel, this might be the thing! But don’t misinterpret my premise to mean the Curl Primer’s got hold. I simply consider, for anyone with naturally wavy or curly hair, that this might be a better product to revitalize curls than salt sprays!

Whether I will switch to the Curl Primer is hard to say. While it does work wonderfully at re-shaping my waves on day two and beyond, it also means I’m using more of it. It’s a pricey product and I’d hate to go through a whole bottle within 2 months.
As for now, Bangerhead offers about 33% off Invisible Oil Primer, making it the best-priced primer/detangler/UV-protection you can currently buy! If the Curl Primer ever goes on sale closer to the price of the Oil Primer, I will definitely repurchase. But until then, I feel like a spray bottle with water and Bb. Oil Primer is enough to revitalize my waves.


Bumble & Bumble Curl Primer pre-styler review
Bumble & Bumble Curl Defining Cream review

Curl Defining Cream

This curl cream is recommended towards medium to thick hair. I was excited to try this one to see how it compares to other curl defining creams that I’ve tried.
As the name suggests, it’s supposed to give curls some hold, de-frizz and it’s even got UV-filters and nourishing ingredients to help moisturize hair.
From my understanding, this is the reformulated version.

Off the bat, we didn’t get a good start. It reminds me of the Bb. Don’t Blow It (thick) styling cream… Which does a similar thing to the hair, but do I dare to say, even better?
My first few tries ended up quite disappointing as I took too much.
After some adjustments to what amount I needed, I started to like this cream again, maybe even love it. But then something went downhill again and I haven’t been able to like it as much.
It seems to me that it works best together with the Curl Primer. But even with that, the Bb. curl defining cream has its flaws.

First of all, it is said to be hydrating. Every time I use this instead of my other curl cream, my hair feels dry and more on the gritty side.
It’s supposed to de-frizz and add hold. I just don’t see or feel that. My hair dries a lot frizzier than with other styling products and my waves end up straight almost before the next morning!
I’ve tried using different amounts but if I use too little it does nothing for my hair. If I use some more it does more of what it says… But for the cost of needing to wash your hair the next day as the results don’t last very long.
I’m guessing it’s the porosity of my hair? Something isn’t working properly. In other words: it’s not for me.

This curl cream simply doesn’t match my expectations of what I look for in a product like this. I want my waves to feel soft and look shiny, this fails to deliver on those two points. Instead, it makes my hair feel dry, gritty and looking matte. Not to mention the frizz! I find myself needing to finish off with an oil/shine serum, which isn’t something I’ve ever needed to do with other curl products until the day after or so. But by using oils on top of it, my hair becomes oily throughout much faster. It just doesn’t layer very well with other products. At least with my hair, that doesn’t absorb a lot of product.
I will say though, on a positive note, that it does bring some volume and thickness to my hair the first day. But because it lacks in so much else, I don’t find it’s worth the hassle.

It’s such a pity as it seems to have great ingredients, but unfortunately, it’s not for my hair.
Like I don’t know what else to say than this wasn’t what I thought it would be. I’m going to stick to my current favorite Davines Curl Building serum. It doesn’t have the hold, but neither does this one. However, it has a light texture and make my hair look and feel soft, shiny and healthy – giving me the results I want without needing a bunch of other products!


Bumble & Bumble Hairdressers Invisible Oil review

Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil

I remember quite vividly when this product came out. It was around 2014 and it was the first product out of the Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil-line.
I’ve since then always wanted to try it, believing the marketing, that this one was unlike the other hair oils on the market.
The Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil has UV-filters and supposed to add shine, de-frizz and protect against heat.
It is said to be for medium/thick hair and dry, damaged, and/or color-treated. I don’t really fit the bill, but it’s lightweight enough for all hair types I’d say.

A little goes a long way. On my long, down to my chest hair, I only need about 1 pump to 1 1/2. But even when taking 2, it’s not like my hair gets heavy or more conditioned. However, more doesn’t equal better results, rather, it just equals a waste of product.
I find it to work best when applied to damp hair. On dry hair, it doesn’t really do much on my hair… Still, I find pure oils to have a greater de-frizzing effect than this one!

Unfortunately, this oil did not impress me much. While I like that it’s lightweight, it simply is too light to make a difference in my hair. I don’t see a point in switching from my pure argan/grapeseed oil mix to this one that has a silicone-base. If your hair can’t handle pure oils, then this might be for you. But I find the R+Co High Dive to be better at giving my hair softness and shine than this one.


Bumble & Bumble Curl Primer, Curl Defining Cream and Invisible Oil review

Conclusion

This kit cost me about the same as one full-sized product, so I’m happy that I got to test out these products without having to buy each separately.
The kit as a whole feels well composed and would highly recommend. Whether you want to test or want to get your favorites in travel size for a great value. It’s a shame I didn’t really enjoy all of the products.
For now, Bumble & Bumble products has been a little hit and miss with my hair. I don’t think I’ll be delving deeper into their curl line than this. Like I mentioned, I might get the Curl Primer in the future. But I’m sticking to what I got and what works best for my hair.

However, I would say, that the majority of us don't have a clue! 🙈 Like, in my case, I chose goals after my wants, not necessarily what my hair needs. 😶 You would think those two go hand in hand, but they don't!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While it didn't end up in disaster, my expectations weren't met. But I can't blame the product or the brand, because I chose the formula. 🤷🏻‍♀️ This brings me to my next issue...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are literally more than ten thousand combinations to try. Which is one too many if the first concoction doesn't work for you. I mean, I'd rather try out a different line, than try to puzzle the right pieces together. 🙇🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are other brands, like @prose (only US atm), where the customization is more like a consultation. So rather than you picking what you think would work, you do a quiz answering stuff about your hair and health. What's also interesting is that they take into account your environment and its humidity level. Which I think is genius! Nevertheless, even that won't totally guarantee the formula will work for you. 💁🏻‍♀️

While I can only speak for _this particular formula_ and how it worked with _my hair_, if you are interested to read my experience hop on over to my blog! 👉🏼 link in bio.

Have you tried custom hair care?
Sorry it took this long to put up the recipe! I ju Sorry it took this long to put up the recipe! I just had to re-bake the cake after realizing it became drier than it was supposed to. 🙈 So had to figure out what I might’ve done wrong. 

After some trial and error, here’s the complete vegan recipe 👇🏼
If you want to have a look at the original, go to @linawallentinson  blog or buy/borrow her book 😁

✨ Ingredients:
6 tbsp aqua faba
1 dl brown or white sugar
2 dl rice flour
1 dl corn starch (maizena)
1 tbsp psylliumhusk 
1/4 tsp vanilla powder
2 tsp baking powder 
2 tbsp poppy seeds
2 tbsp of oil
75g melted vegan butter
1 tsp grated lemon peel
½ tbsp lemon juice
3 dl (120g) grated zucchini or carrot
Some butter and grated coconut or rice flour to grease the pan. 

✨ Glaze:
1 dl powdered sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice

🌸 How to:
Set the oven at 175°C/~350°F

1. Whip the sugar and aqua faba to a foam. 
2. Mix rice flour, corn starch, husk, vanilla, baking powder and poppy seeds in another bowl. 
3. Pour the dry ingredients into the sugar whip together with melted butter, lemon peel and juice, and mix to a batter. 
- If you choose to make it with carrots, add 2 tbsp of oil into the mixture for a less dry cake. If you go with zucchini you don’t really have to unless you like a juicy cake. 
4. Pour the grated zucchini (do NOT squeeze it dry) or carrot into the mixture and mix well. 
5. Butter up a pan with coconut flakes or rice flour and then pour the batter into the pan. 
6. Put in the middle of the oven for about 30-40 min. Check with a testing stick if the batter is dry. 
7. Let cool down before taking the cake out of the pan. 
8. Mix ingredients for the glaze and top it off with some lemon peel sprinkles. 🌼

And thats it! Hope you enjoy! Check out my highlight ”Friday F’s” for more foods!
