New bourjois Bio Detox foundation
I saw in cosmopolitan an ad of this with a free sample included.It claims to detox skin and formula is organic.The the shade that came with it was vanilla I think(a light colour with neutral to slightly yellow undertones) and it was a perfect match for me.I really liked the texture and feel of it.The finish was also great-not too matte but not too greasy looking either.Overall I'm quite impressed and I'm planning to buy it soon.Here is a pic of the ad:

My favourite and least favourite products for combating frizz...
Fortunately here in Cyprus is quite sunny but unfortunately its also very hot and humid which is very annoying as my hair has the tendency to turn into a frizzy mess.(My hair is wavy,medium thickness with very dry and damaged ends).
I usually try more than 2-3 products and very few manage to stay on my staple list.Usually because of my budget I try mainly drug-store or supermarket brands.However most of them stay unused because they are either too oily,or too drying.The latest products I've tried are: gliss total repair(shampoo and conditioner),Gliss asia straight(shampoo,conditioner & serum), Gliss oil nutritive(shampoo&conditioner) and John Frieda(shampoo,conditioner,serum).
To be honest I'm not so impressed with the gliss lines which are sooo advertised here in Cyprus and Europe.Even though they contain many active ingredients such as hydrolysis keratin and hydrolysed wheat protein and essential oils there is no wow factor here.The gliss total repair line worked fine at the beginning but after two weeks it made my hair limp and heavy and obviously with a lot of built up-not so attractive.Overall rating:6/10
Gliss Asia straight was a tad better as it worked ok to make my hair straighter but I still needed to use a straightening iron.This line claims to straighten hair without needing a flat iron.Shampoo didn't really do anything,conditioner was just ok and serum worked the best even though it didn't completely smooth my hair but it kinda managed to prevent frizz.Overall rating:7/10
Gliss oil nutritive line I think is my least favourite out of these.This line claims to nourish hair and repair split ends and dry ends which is my main problem along with frizz.Even though I haven't tried the entire line I have found both the conditioner and shampoo to be useless.I've used them for two weeks but they never seemed to work.They didn't really do anything to anything to repair my hair or smooth away my split ends or at least make them less noticeable and my hair felt kinda oily and gummy after use.Overall rating:4/10
Now by far my favourite line is John Frieda frizz ease straight ahead.Its quite pricey here(it costs me more than 20 euros to purchase only half of the products) but its really worth it.The shampoo works fine,the conditioner is quite effective and serum works fine as well.it really helps to make my hair smooth,silky and frizz free.My only complain is that I've using it for more than a month and the results are not the same but the effect is still noticeable .Overall rating:9/10

Asian fashion....
I've been searching the internet for cheap but stylish clothes and I visited some very interesting websites.By far my favourite is http://fashion4us.com/.They have a huge selection of clothes, shoes and accessories at very reasonable prices and most of them are for young people like me.Here is a little sneak peak:
