Swimming Costumes - Pin Up Summer & High Waisted Bikinis


Retro or vintage High Wasited  Bikins are clearly your answer for summer 2014! Every online or offline shop has few design of vintage bikinis this season. They are so elegant and super flattering. If you have some curves or are a bit stubborn about your stomach this is your ideal bikini this summer. Many celebrities have been spotted wearing high-waisted bikinis on their holidays last month.

I love the stripy one Taylor Swift is wearing but since strips usually make you look a bit wider then you are I would be careful wearing it with my curves. Taylor is clearly a lot in to her high waisted bikinis this season. She was spotted in few different colours and designs.

Love this cute bikini top with a knot and a zipper on bottoms from net-a-porter.com by Lisa Marie Fernandez. Jew dropping £390. A bit too expensive for me but luck those that can afford it.

Bold Aztec prints are great choice for a flattering silhouette. This gorgeous swimwear is from figleaves.com and sold separately, so if you don't like balconnet style top then you can mix & match with something else. Briefs are only £19 and top £33.
 
mydressroom.co.uk has great selection of polka dot high waisted bikinis. This is proper retro look that I was talking about. I totally love polka dot and this are really cute bikinis.You can buy them for around £50 or £40 with my discount code. You will also get a free delivery on orders over £40 - use code BLOG20

What do you think about the high-waisted bikinis and which one is your favorite?

Anti-hairloss treatment - Kerastase Specifique

Today I will be sharing my anti-hairloss treatment process with you. Unfortunately for me my hair is very problematic, roots are oily & length dry. I don't get blow dry very often and I don't dye my hair.

My hair is dull, thin and I loose a lot of it. I tried different shampoos, masks, conditioners but nothing helps. Last time I had my haircut done my hairdresser advised me to use the Bain Volumifique by Kerastase which is suppose to be adding volume. Well the roots seem ok but my hair itself became more lifeless and dull then before. Clearly this product is not for my type of hair. 



Since everyone is going on about how great are Kerastase products I thought I should give it another go but with different product. I went on the brand website to see if I can find some information about correct product for my hair.
After spending some time on their website I finally discovered the range called Specifique which is suppose to be anti-hairloss. One thing to bear in mind never buy anything from beauty salons! (Sorry hairdressers and beauty therapists if you are reading this post.) You can always get same products online for a lot cheaper. So I was silly enough to buy this shampoo for £17 from my hairdressers and then I found it for £12.75 on internet including free delivery. Great thing about shopping on internet is that you can almost always find a discount codes for everything. I have couple of codes for you which I have shared below.

Kerastase Specifique


The Specifique treatment consists of 3-4 products. This is very expensive treatment but I read a lot about it and it seems to work. There are 3 steps to take:

1. Bathe - BAIN STIMULISTE GL - £12.75
2. Treat - 2 products but I will only be using one of these two.
      - STIMULISTE - £31.50
      - AMINEXIL GL M® - £92 for 6 weeks supply but there is second option to buy 10x6 for £22.12 
3. Texturise - SOIN DENSITIVE GL - £14.62 

The Aminexil which is the main ingredient in step 2 treatment is proven by scientist that it increases hair growth. I tried to find a cheaper version of a product with main ingredient Aminexil but there is not anything around right now, the only one I found was from Vichy which works out a bit more expensive then Kerastase. So I decided to go for Kerastase since there is more evidence that it works.

Yesterday I found few discount codes for Kerastase products and bought some from Feel Unique 

feelunique.com - £10 off when you spend £25. Use code WAHANDA10 or if you are going to buy  AMINEXIL GL M® it would be better to use 15% discount code PPAPRIL14. Last time I check on 28/04/14 and both of them worked. 

Have you used this product and if so what do you think of it? Subscribe to my blog to follow the outcome of the trial :) I will be updating the progress of my treatment.
