Easy hair chalking tutorial with Kiko Make Up Milano Hair Shadow // Pink hair!


* For your complete ombre hair guide make sure to check out TheWigMall, ombre hair where you'll find more tips and style inspirations!



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!

6 Ways to Style Floral Crowns // 6 ideja frizura sa cvjetnom krunom!



Hello lovelies!

Today on my blog I have a hair tutorial for you :)
I actually filmed this video tutorial a few months back, but I forgot to post the pics of the hairstyles here on my blog!
Actually, when I was going through my files, I was wondering whether I already posted this tutorial or not, and I had to do a little research on my blog to see if anything pops up in the results!
It would be awkward to write about the same thing twice!

Anyway, these are 6 quick hairstyling ideas with a floral headband (but I also like to use a floral crown; I have two: one is more of a "summer" version, whilst the other one, because of its colours, is more "autumnal", at least I like to think so!)

& here is how my floral crowns look like:

the "summer vesrion" from Bijou Brigitte

The "autumnal" version is from H&M


Anyway, back to my tutorial...I was using my pretty floral headband from H&M, and I created 6 different hairstyling ideas (all these are very quick & easy to do, yet at the same time cute, girly and pretty!)

Here is the hairstyling # 01





This one is very easy, effortless, boho- chic look, ideal for summer festivals :)
I like to add to my hair these loose curls when doing this style (I curl my hair with Imetec Bellissima hair curling iron - hair tutorial here)


hairstyling # 02





High ponytail is always a fun way to wear your hair!
I like to decorate it with my floral headband that in this occasion, I use as a hair tie (I wrap it around my ponytail several times, until it's tight enough!)


hairstyling # 03





This half updo is very similar to the first hairstyling idea, except that the hair that frames your face will be gathered, and the rest of the hair you'll let loose!
Secure the front sections with the bobby-pins!
This is also very bohemian, carefree, messy look! Just the way I like it :)


hairstyling # 04




This inverted side ponytail is my fix for a bad hair day! It's very similar to a fishtail, but even easier to do! People always compliment me on this hairstyle and wonder was it difficult to do, haha :)
Here again, I use my floral headband as a hair tie.


hairstyling # 05







This crazy coloured fishtail is one of my favourite hairstyles!
I use Kiko Make Up Milano hair shadow to colour my hair (it washess off in only one wash, no worries!)
I love the hair chalking trend! It's crazy, fun & colorful! It's a nice & quick way to play with my hair colour, whenever I feel like changing it up a bit, but still when I'm not up for any permanent change!


hairstyling # 06





This high, voluminous bun looks more chic & so cute with the floral headband wrapped around it!
And just how do I quickly do my voluminous hair bun? (watch the tutorial here!)


Those were the hairstyling ideas, and you can also check out my video tutorial, here:









Lijep pozdrav svima!

Dragi pratitelji mog hrvatskog youtube kanala, ovaj tjedan nece biti novog videa :(
Video je spreman, ali zbog poteskoca sa internet linijom ("pusti otok" na kojem zivim nema adsl linije!), nisam ga u mogucnosti uploadati! Vjerojatno ce ici tek pocetkom mjeseca studenoga! Ispricavam se zbog toga i radim na tome da dobijem flat liniju kako se i pristoji jednom "busy" bloggeru, zar ne?
Do tada, predlazem vam da pogledate par starijih videa sa mojeg hrvatskog kanala, koje ste mozda propustili (SoniaVerardo), a ja sam odlucila raditi  na ovom blog postu koji ce popratiti slijedeci "hair tutorijal" video: frizure sa cvjetnom krunom

Jeste li ga vec vidjeli?

Ja sam ovaj tutorijal snimila prije par mjeseci i nisam do sada imala vremena popratiti ga sa blog postom!
Moram priznati da sam morala napraviti malu pretragu svoga vlastitog bloga, kako bih se uvjerila da vec nisam objavila post o ovim frizuricama! Bio bi bas "bad", pisati o istoj stvari dvaput, zar ne? O_O
Ja se nadam da ce vam ove ideje biti korisne!
Ukoliko i sami napravite jednu od u videu predlozenih frizura, posaljite mi vase slicice :)

Iako sam video tutorijal snimala u ljetnim mjesecima, ove frizure mogu se nositi i sada u jesen, kao sto mozete vidjeti iz jedne od slicica gore, ja sam si kupila i "jesenju" verziju cvijetne krune (prevladavaju tamne boje!) i volim ju nositi, ma bas mi je super modni dodatak! ;)

Do novog videa, druzimo se na facebooku i blogu!

Renewing Damaged Hair With Kerastase Nectar Thermique

Hello beauties!

For all of you who asked me about my updated hair care routine and my holly grail haircare products, here is a video/post, that you're going to enjoy!

In this video I'm talking about the product I have been using for months now (I remember buying this product back in December!)and that has helped in mantaining my hair healthy, shiny & just beautiful looking!


I have already mentioned this many times...my hair just ♥ Kerastase products!


For more than five months I have been using this product religiously, twice a week (every time after washing my hair), and I still have some of the product left, but soon I'll be getting a new bottle of it!
I really like it very, very much, and would like to recommend it to you :)
The Nectar Thermique product is a part of Kerastase Nutritive line, and it's designed for dry to very dry hair.
It's a leave in product and it's basically a very nourishing care for your hair, with heat- styling protective agent.

Kerastase Nectar Thermique 150ml

For availability & more info on Kerastase products, go to their website!


Nectar Thermique is a haircare "nectar" that leaves the hair incredibly soft and smooth. The product is actually activated by heat (when you blowdry, or heat-style your hair!)

Innovative technology: Royal Jelly Extract + Gluco- Sleek


-Provides softness and shine:

 this formula enriched in cosmetic agents is combined with an extract of Royal Jelly known to be rich in essential elements- carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. Nectar Thermique is designed to provide softness and shine to the whole of the hair fibre.

-Heat protection:

 this treatment is enriched with a heat-style protective active ingredient - XYLOSE- to help protect the hair fibre from the harmful effects of heat during blow- drying and straightening.


- Ease of blow-drying and anti- breakage effect:

 this nectar, enriched in GUAR gum, known for its lubricating properties, gives improved hair straightening and blow- drying performance, while helping to protect the hair from mechanical stress.


Results:

- Optimal shine & softness from root to tip.
- Hair fibre is left supple to touch.
- Better protection from mechanical aggressions.
- Easier blow- drying and straightening.


Application:

1. After washing your hair, towel- dry it and apply a walnut- sized amount of the product, starting with the ends and spreading throughout the lengths of the hair.

2. Gently massage the lengths and ends, paying particular attention to the driest areas.

3. Detangle using a wide- toothed comb, starting with the ends and then gradually moving upwards towards the roots. Don't rinse.

4. Styling with a blow dryer:
dry hair using a blow-dryer and a round brush.

5. Styling with straightening iron:
first dry hair completely using a blow-dryer.Then style hair using a flat iron with ceramic plates, ideally at a temperature of 180°C. On 1 inch wide sections, slowly slide the iron in a continuous movement throughout the lengths. Repeat this step once on each section.


I really hope that you'll try out this product and that you found these little extra-tips useful!


Before you go, check out my Nectar Thermique Review video, to find out more about this product & learn more about my experience with it!


Love from Italy,

xoxo, S.
