Fashion Icon : Kourtney Kardashian.....Icone de mode

We chose Koutney Kardashian as our Fashion Icon of the month. Out of the three Kardashian sisters, she is by far the most fashionable, in our opinion. Her outfit choices are always perfect and we absolutly  love the way she plays up different looks and  isn't afraid to experiment with colour. Kourtney and her mother opened children's clothing boutiques called Smooch in the Los Angeles area and New York City; and she also  co-owns and operates D-A-S-H with sisters Kim and Khloé, a clothing boutique in Los Angeles, Miami, and New York City. Here are some of her best looks that might inspire you...

Nous avons choisi Koutney Kardashian comme notre Icone Mode du mois. Des trois soeurs Kardashian, elle est de loin la plus élégante (du moins à notre avis). Ses choix vestimentaires sont toujours parfaits et on adore la façon dont elle combine différents styles, motifs et couleurs. Kourtney et sa mère ont ouvert des boutiques de vêtements d'enfants appelées SMOOCH dans la région de Los Angeles et à New York,  et en meme temps elle est co-propriétaire et gère les boutiques  DASH avec ses sœurs Kim et Khloé, à Los Angeles, Miami et New York. 
Voici quelques-uns de ses meilleurs looks qui pourraient vous inspirer ...

Klorane Dry Shampoo

It is known that we should not wash our hair every day, it is better to wash it  every two or three days  in order to let your hair "breath" and regenerate itself. That said, the feeling of  having heavy and greasy hair is very unpleasant especially for those who have oily hair or hair with oily roots and dry ends!


This dry shampoo by Klorane with oat milk is the perfect solution: it helps to wash your hair without wetting it!

It has moisturizing and softening properties and contains micronised powders with high absorbency potential! This dry shampoo cleans the hair and  you can use it two to three times before washing hair with normal shampoo.  The hair regains volume and lightness within a few seconds! Plus it is formulated without parabens, sulphates or coloring.


How to use it? It is as easy to use as a hairspray! Shake well in order to mix all  its components, then spray a small amount of the product on your hair and speard it evenly. Leave it for 2 minutes, then brush and style your hair as per usual.
It smells good and the results are amazing! your hair is shiny, clean and hydrated! Unlike hairsprays, this dry shampoo does not stick.



Personally, I have been using this product for more than 2 years, It is one of my must-haves, and I am  100% satisfied.

Pros:

  • Quick and easy to use.
  • Helps your hair regenerate itself by not washing it every day.
  • Pratical packaging, you can use it everywhere as it is easy to carry if you're going somewhere for the weekend for example.
  • Gives volume to the hair, especially at the roots.
  • Smells good and does not stick.


Cons:

Honestly we can't think of any!

Price: Between 9 and 11 euros, It depends from where you buy it.

Beauty tips: Castor Oil and its benefits

Castor Oil has been used since ancient times for a variety of conditions and complaints, including hair and skin care. It is one of the best natural oils out there!
Castor Oil is definitely the best ingredient to grow your eyelashes and eyebrows as it is perfect to promote hair growth.You will notice the difference after the first 3 applications! The results are amazing and quick! Apply Castor oil on your eyelashes using a mascara brush, it's actually like applying mascara, do it at night before going to bed, and don't worry Castor Oil does not sting.



Another way to use Castor Oil is as a hair conditioner. Warm up a small amount of pure castor oil and apply it to your hair for at least 15 minutes before shampooing. To create a more pleasant smell and decrease the stickiness of the castor oil, add almond or coconut oil or any other essential oil. The natural fatty acids in castor oil make it a good hair conditioner as it prevents hair loss and relieves the scalp.
If your hair is very dry and damaged, then add a few drops of Castor Oil to your favorite shampoo or conditioner and use them as usual.


Skin softer: Smooth castor oil over the entire body and wash it off in a warm bath to condition skin over the entire body. You can use it on cracked heels and on dry nail beds and cuticles.


This miraculous oil has so many benefits not only for beauty but it can also be used to cure acne, arthritis, constipation etc.

We hope that you found this article useful!

Do you use any natural oil for your beauty routine? if yes let us know which one and what do you use it for.
