Kérastase Laque Noir

No matter how much time you spend on styling your hair, you went the result of your efforts to last through the day. This makes hairspray the most useful hair product to have in your arsenal. However, they are not all made equal and no one wants to end up with sticky, crispy hair after spraying some on. That would just ruin the whole thing. Well I have finally found the most long lasting and efficient hairspray ever: the Kérastase Laque Noir.


This is a strong hold hairspray that fights humidity and keeps your style in place while giving your hair shine. I have naturally wavy hair that tends to frizz and curl when it’s humid and keeping a sleek ponytail in place all day is almost impossible. Kérastase says this creates an anti-humidity shield and I cannot find a better way to describe it. It is the only hairspray that can keep my ponytail from getting flyaways and frizzy all day long. I know it is kind of expensive, but if you live in a very humid climate or have hair similar to mine, I think it is worth investing in. What I love about Kérastase in this case, is that they offer a  convenient travel size of this (which is the one I have), so you can try it for less but the size is generous enough to last you a while.

When I wear my hair down, it also holds waves and curls nicely and gives them shine without any crispiness. The mist is very fine and I love that you only need to use a little for it to work. It also has an amazing fruity scent so your hair will smell nice and you don’t have to deal with the typical hairspray fumes. Lastly, I know this is not really important, but how chic does that can look! I really love the design and I think that when you are spending a pretty penny on a product, you want it to deliver and look nice too. In both cases the Kérastase Laque Noir Delivers.

You can find the Kérastase Laque Noir in Kérastase salons, on their website and on Feelunique

The Shu Uemura Gloss Unlimited

The Shu Uemura Gloss Unlimited is a new discovery to me. Shu Uemura is quite a known brand with a high standard for quality, but counters can be hard to come by depending on where you live. Thankfully though, the brand has a great website that allows you to browse through all their products and they also offer great samples when you use their weekly promo code. This is how I discovered this lip gloss, it is a mini one I received along other samples when I made a purchase.  


I have the shade RD 20 C, which is a clear red gloss, the formula is gel-like and offers a lot of shine. Even though this isn’t an opaque gloss the red tint still shows up on my lips and does for a bit of natural looking color. I was pleasantly surprised by how long-lasting the formula is without being sticky. The gloss apparently has "3D elastic gel", which gives the gloss a high shine level, whilst remaining light on the lips.


The Gloss Unlimited comes in 19 colors and 4 different finishes: clear, glitter, shimmer and artist shade (modulator colors), they retail for 30$. 

This product was a very pleasant discovery and I might be tempted to pick up a full size one when I’m done with my sample. They are not the most inexpensive of lip glosses, but they are a great and reliable product for everyday use.

Have a look at the Shu Uemura website for more information on this gloss and their products selection. You can also stop by a counter if you want to see them in person.
