ENG: Hello beauties! In this post I'd like to share with you my thoughts on GHD Curve, classic wave wand, hair styling tool that I got a month ago! I've been loving it, so I wanted to mention it here on my blog :-) I've already done a review/ tutorial on my youtube channel, and I'll link the video to this post, so you can go & check it out, for more info on this styler, and also to see, step by step, how I created these soft, loose waves ♥ GHD hair tools are by far my favourite ones! I've had my GHD hair straightener for years now, and when I found out that GHD came up with a whole range of styling tools/hair curlers, I knew I had to try one out! I do like to curl my hair, I love how my hair looks with a slight wave, but i'm always concerned about damaging it, when applying heat on it...so I avoid wearing this hair style too often... That's why i needed a styler like GHD, because they're designed to deliver awesome results, while taking care not to damage your hair! As my hair is quite long, I opted for a GHD curve, Classic Wave Wand, which gives you that "old Hollywood glamour" style, classic waves. I'm loving the result! Depending on how you hold the wand, you can achieve different type of waves: If you hold the wand vertically, you will get classic waves. If you're going for soft waves, flat-wrap hair around the barrel. GHD curve was quite expensive, but I think it's worth it! As my hubby said: "You bought yourself a Ferrari of hair curlers!"
Top tips:
Always use curl hold spray before styling to protect your hair and lock your look in place.
For perfect curls, the size of your section should be the width of the barrel.
Make styling easy by splitting your hair into sections and curling one side at a time, tilting your head as you style.
Hold hair around the barrel for 5-8 seconds, depending on your hair type.
Always place curve on its stand when not in use.
Dress your hair out to create different looks. Use your finger tips to create a textured beach wave and use a paddle brush for soft and glamorous curls.

HR: Pozdrav ljepotice! U danasnjem postu zeljela sam sa vama podijeliti svoj dojam o GHD curve, Classic Wave Wand, figaru za kosu. Figaro sam kupila prije mjesec dana i zaista sam njime odusevljena! Vec sam o njemu radila video recenziju i tutorijal i na hrvatskom jeziku, pa cu vam ostaviti link dolje, gdje cete moci pogledati taj video. Potrudila sam se da video recenzija bude detaljna, a u tutorijalu vam prikazujem, korak po korak, kako do ovih "glamuroznih holivudskih" valova u kosi :-) ♥ GHD uredaji za stilizaciju kose moji su omiljeni! Svoju GHD peglu imam vec godinama i ne mogu vise zamisliti svoju svakodnevicu bez nje. Kada sam cula da je GHD nedavno na trziste izbacio i cijelu kolekciju figara za kosu, znala sam da si zelim izabrati jedan! Buduci da volim kovrcati kosu i svidja mi se kako mi taj look stoji, a opet, ne nosim takve frizure cesto, jer bojim se pretjerano izlagati kosu toplinskim uredajima, znala sam da je GHD curve rjesenje za moje "styling" probleme! GHD curve donosi vam najbolji rezultat dok mozete biti mirni da nece ostetiti vasu kosu! Buduci da je moja kosa prilicno duga, nakon pomnog istrazivanja, odlucila sam se na tip GHD figara Classic Wave Wand, koji vam garantira onaj klasicni holivudski glamour laganih valova u kosi :-) Rezultat je odlican, a postize se jako brzo, upola brze nego sa mojim starim figarom! GHD styleri su jako skupi, priustila sam si ga na poklon i nije mi zao, vrijedi. Puno se razlikuje od ostalih takvih uredaja koje nude drugi brandovi na trzistu...Kao sto je moj muzic napomenuo: "Kupila si si Ferrari od figara!" ahaha...ali, imao je pravo ;-)

Hi guys!
Most of you know that my blog isn't only about fashion and OOTD posts, but I'm also into beauty topics, and I like to do product reviews & tutorials here, and on my Sonia Verardo youtube channel that I opened back in June of 2009.!
I see that I have some new blog followers, and because I've been writing mostly about fashion topics lately, I just wanted to throw in this quick little note about my blog ;)
I want to welcome all my new blog followers and say that I'm very happy to have connected with you guys on-line!
I hope you're going to enjoy the posts that I'm preparing for you...
You are my motivation to keep on going strong! ♥♥
In my today's post I'd like to talk to you about the hair chalking trend!
If you guys know anything about me, then you probably know that I'm not the one to experiment with my hair colour!
I've been blonde for almost a decade now & I enjoy being blonde!
Occasionally I'll do an ombre effect to my hair (usually during the colder months, I'll ask my hairdresser to colour my roots darker), just to switch it up a little bit, but then, with the arrival of summer, I usually go blonder again.
I'll never do a DIY project with my hair colour, or reach for a box dye from my drugstore, or a local supermarket!
When it comes to my hair colour, I depend on my hairdresser and rely completely on her qualified skills! :)
The reason behind that isn't because I don't like the change, but it's because I'm too afraid to mess it up or damage my hair!
That's why, when this whole hair chalking trend started and Kiko Make Up Milano came up with the hair shadow, I was super excited: Finally I could experiment and let my "wild side" on the loose, without fear of regreting it the next day!
Because, the next day, all that it takes to "get things back the way they used to be" is a hair shampoo and water to wash your hair!
Simple as that! :)
Who wouldn't like to switch up their hair colour for a day, without having to think twice about this decision? ;)
From Kiko Make Up Milano, I picked up their hair shadow in pink (when this product first came out, as a part of their limited edition, it got sold out in a matter of seconds!).
I think that pink looks really good on blonde hair!
What I like to do with this product is: I first curl my hair slightly, and then I'll randomly put the colour on the lengths and the ends of my hair!
I also enjoy playing with pink hair shadow, whenever I do a voluminous fishtail (I like my fishtail to have random strands of pink hair braided into it! It looks super cool!)
When chalking your hair, you don't need to be precise about it! I like to have random strands of hair coloured in pink :)
I do advise you to use a towel when chalking your hair, and avoid wearing light fabrics (because you might stain your clothes! It happened to me more than once, and yes, it is annoying, but, no fears, the colour will wash off within one wash!)
Also, make sure to fix the colour with a hair spray- that way it'll last longer (because it does tend to fade off!).
At Kiko Make Up Milano stores, you can get the product which is specific to use with the hair shadow, to fixate it into the hair, but it's actually a product very similar to a regular hair spray, so I opted not to spend extra 8€ on it!
Kiko hair shadow comes in this cute ball- container
I got it in pink, but you can choose from a variety of different colours!
If your hair is black, pink or purple will look amazing on you!
Brunettes can experiment with vibrant red, or peach tones...
Green, I think, goes well with all hair colours!
Of course, after dying my hair pink, a series of selfies took place... ;)
just for fun!
It might not be that relevant for this post, but, in case anybody's wondering, my Led Zeppelin swater is from Pull & Bear, and my necklace is from Accessorize!
Would you guys like to see a make up tutorial on this look?
Let me know in the comments!
It is very easy to apply this hair shadow!
If you'd like to see a tutorial (how I got my hair to look like that), watch my youtube video, here:
Lijep pozdrav svima!
U zadnje vrijeme, primjetila sam porast followers-a na blogu, pa bih vam prije svega zeljela izraziti dobrodoslicu i reci da sam sretna sto pratite moj blog :)
Nadam se da ce vas teme koje ovdje obradujem interesirati i inspirirati!
Zeljela bih jos napomenuti kako moj blog ne obraduje samo teme mode, vec nastojim donositi i zanimljive recenzije "beauty" proizvoda i raznovrsne tutorijale...
Buduci da sam se u zadnje vrijeme na blogu bavila vise modom nego ovim drugim temama, zeljela sam to naglasiti svim mojim novim pratiteljima!
Zelim da i vi sudjelujete aktivno na mojem blogu!
Bitno mi je od vas cuti komentare, ili prijedloge za iduce teme :)
Buduci da sam svoj prvi youtube kanal otvorila u lipnju 2009. godine, nastojim da teme koje na njemu, a tako i ovdje, obradujem, budu sto raznovrsnije i nikako dosadne!
U tome mi uvelike pomazete i vi pa vam na tome hvala! ♥♥
Znaci, danasnji post mali je predah od mode (ali...cim izgovorim "predah od mode", hvata me blaga jezaaaa...ne zelim predah od mode, niti mi treba, haha! Nema razloga za paniku, modni postovi vraacaju se vec iduci tjedan!)
U danasnjem postu zeljela sam vam predstaviti trend bojanja kose kredom (tj. popularni "hair chalking", koji je zazivio na festivalu boja diljem svijeta!)
Ukoliko znate imalo o meni, znati cete da ja ne eksperimentiram sa bojom svoje kose!
Plavusa sam vec skoro deset godina i tako se nekako najbolje osijecam.
U hladnijim mjesecima obratiti cu se frizerki sa zamolbom da napravimo "ombre efekt" na kosi (tj. potamnimo korijen), a ljeti se obicno opet vracam potpuno plavoj kosi!
Nikada se ne bavim "kucnom radinosti" sto se farbanja kose tice, ne zbog toga sto nemam zelje za promijenom, vec zbog toga sto se bojim ostetiti kosu i vristati pred ogledalom od katastrofalnog rezultata!
Sa plavom kosom nema sale; prepustam se u strucne ruke mojih frizerki od povjerenja!
Ukoliko vas zanima, posjecujem vec godinama Academy 4 Look u Rijeci, a moje frizerke su Aldijana i Karla :) pa evo, ukoliko je netko od mojih citatelja/ica iz Rijeke...toplo vam ih preporucam! :)
Vratimo se temi mog danasnjeg posta... hair chalking!
Kada je Kiko Make Up Milano izasao sa svojom limitiranom kolekcijom sjenila za kosu (koja se rasprodala u roku od par minuta!), bila sam odusevljena! Znala sam da slicni efekt mozete postici i obicnim kredama u boji, ali zeljela sam ipak isprobati nesto specificno izradjeno za kosu...stoga se nadam, i kvalitetnije!
Kiko hair shadow omogucava mi da se poigram sa ludim bojama na dan...a drugi dan, ne moram se bojati poslijedica svojih ludosti, jer one se lako u potpunosti eliminiraju sa jednim pranjem kose! :)
Svoju kosu volim lagano nakovrcati i zatim obojati duzinu i krajeve kose u ruzicastu, ili cak zelenu boju. Mislim da ovaj trend jako dobro izgleda i kada spletem kosu u voluminoznu "fishtail" pletenicu (pletenicu tipa "riblja kost"), jer ruzicasti se pramenovi prepleteni sa plavom bojom kose, jako lijepo isticu!
Savjetujem vam da se prilikom nanosenja Kiko sjenila za kosu koristite rucnikom i ne nosite odjecu svijetlih boja! (Meni se je vise puta desilo da sam obojala i odjecu...mrlje na odjeci su nesto od cega pozivcanim, ali, nema straha, i one nestaju pri samo jednom pranju!).
Obavezno boju fiksirajte lakom za kosu kako bi bila postojanija i kako ne bi izblijedila tijekom dana!
Kiko Make Up Milano nudi u svojoj ponudi i proizvod specifican za fiksiranje sjenila za kosu, ali po meni, to je dodatni trosak od 8€, za proizvod koji je gotovo identican obicnom laku za kosu!
Ja sam odlucila na tome ustedjeti jer i moj lak za kosu ima zadovoljavajuci ekekt!
Sama aplikacija sjenila za kosu vrlo je jednostavna!
Za vas sam snimila i tutorijal kojeg mozete pogledati klikom bas ovdje!
Nakon sto ste obojili vasu kosu u neku od ludih boja, zabavite se serijom "selfija"! ;)
Lijepo je vidjeti se ponekad i u nekom drugom izdanju!
Selfije sam, osim na blogu, objavila i na instagramu! Pratite me i tamo ukoliko i vi volite instagram :)
Znam da je ovo "off topic", ali ukoliko nekoga zanima, majica Led Zeppelin koju nosim na fotkama je iz Pull & Bear ducana, a ogrlica je iz Accessorize-a!
Voljela bih znati da li ste zainteresirani da vam snimim jedan make up tutorijal kao ovaj sa slicica?
Vrlo je jednostavan i moze se nositi za svaki dan!
Ja sam se malo raspisala, ali evo, imala sam vam puno toga za reci o ovom proizvodu i ovom trendu bojanja kose, kojeg zaista jako volim!
Da li i vi volite hair chalking i jeste li vec isprobali Kiko hair shadow boje?
Do iduceg posta, saljem vam veliku pusu iz Italije!
I was contacted by a company that sells hair extensions and hair decorations and they asked me if I'd be willing to do a product review for them...I said yes, so they told me to choose one feather hair extension, from the variety of a different colours they have in their offer...
I went for the red one, because I think it gives a nice contrast in my blonde hair...
What do you think?
a screenshot of my video review, where I'm wearing this cute hair extension!
The company that sent me the hair extension is called hairextensiondeal.com
They also sell real human hair, hair extensions, from the clip-ins, to wefts/weaves, micro loops, fusion nail extensions...the choice is really big!
I haven't tried anything else other than this feather hair extension, so I can't vouch for the quality of the other products on the website, but I'm very happy with my little feather extension :)
At hairextensiondeal.com, this extension retails at $5.99 (reduced from $12.99)
The extension itself it's not made of real feather (but it comes with a real- small feather, attached to the extension) The extension is made of some sort of a fibre, and then it has horizontal black stripes all over it, so it looks like a real feather!
It's a clip-in extension, so it's very practical, it's very easy to put it in your hair, as it is to remove it!
Overall, it's a nice, fun product to have, whenever you feel like changing a bit your hair, without doing anything drastic to it!
Check out other colours of feather hair extensions & choose the one you like best, here!
I'm very happy with the product and I'll enjoy wearing it in my hair especially now, in Spring & Summer time :)
About the company...
hairextensiondeal.com is based in China, but they do ship via express service, such as DHL, or FedEx...
They offer free shipping for the orders over $99.00, which is nice, because shipping cost from China via express service can actually be quite pricey!
Once they sent out the package my way, it arrived in less than a week!
However, I think this company should work on improving their customer's service, as I did have some issues with them.
They put a lot of pressure on me to put this review up ASAP and even though I e-mailed them as soon as I got the package, saying that I like the product and that I'll be doing a review as soon as I can, I felt like they feared I wouldn't do this review and they kept e-mailing me, asking to put a review up!
(I explained the situation better in my video, so don't forget to check it out!)

If you have any other question about the feather hair extension that I've received, don't hesitate to contact me!
For questions regarding other products from the website, you can directly contact the company!
