Showdown: Trine's Wardrobe Argan Oil Serum VS. Lee Stafford Nourishing Miracle Oil

 Vs. 
There are a ton of different hair oils and serums on the market that all claims to be the best, but which is truly worth your money? I have bought two Argan oils from two different brands to see which is worth the hype, and for the past few months I've tried and tested both of them to see which is best so let's take a look. 

Argain Oil Facts:
Argan oil is a natural product that comes from the roots of the Argan tree, which only exist in the southern parts of Marocco. Argain oils are not greasy to the skin and the hair absorbs the oil easily. The oil is rich on Vitamin E, antioxidants and Omega 3 and Omega 9, which is vital for you to have healthy hair. Vitamin E helps rebuild the hair and helps reppare damaged hair. Omega 3 and Omega 9 improves the hairs strength and helps to heal the split ends.   

Let's compare the pros and cons here:
Pros: Trine's wardrobe's Argan Oil serum is paraben free and perfume free. It claims to repair split ends and chemically dried/ruined hair, but can also be used for normal hair to make it shinier and smoother, which is all true. The packaging is simple with a pump, and it has a cute label that explains how to apply the product. As a bonus it is a lot cheaper compared to other Argan oils since this baby only cost 99 kr.    
Cons: The only con about this product is the fact that it's very liquidity, so if you have it in your bag, you will have oils coming out from the bottle.

Pros: Nourishing Miracle oil from Lee Stafford is rich and moisturizing for the hair. It contains ingredients to help rebuild and repair damaged hair. The Nourishing Miracle Oil treats the hair and helps give the hair a natural glow and makes your hair silky smooth and straight. You can use this product on wet or dry hair, where you only apply a little on the hands and massage it on the ends of the hair.  
The packaging is cute and small and has a pump, which is convenient since it makes it easier to apply. 
Cons: Sadly this has perfume, so if you're not a fan of the smell of Argan Oils, then you shouldn't buy this product since it does leave your hair smelling like Argan, plus this fella cost 150 kr. 

So in my conclusion I would def pick the Trine's Wardrobe's Argan Oil Serum again. Not only is it cheaper but it has the benefits of being paraben and perfume free.

#WithShandraAroundBerlin ✈️

 China City / Noodle soup / Dumplings / Squid
Berlin had never been a dream destination of mine but when I got the chance this Summer to go, I instantely fell in love with the beautiful city. The trip was short but none the less amazing. We arrived late so the first day we decided to just look around the neighborhood where we stumbled upon a chinese restaurant called China City. The interior was pretty cool, it felt like being in China and the food was of course amazing. I can only say if you're ever in Berlin, try out the restaurant called China City which is located close to Alexanderplatz. 



The second day had only one thing on the agenda: Explore and shopping.
Being a little bit of an organizer, I had made a little list of things we should see while we were in Berlin such as the Tv tower, the famouse Berlin Wall, the beautiful Dome and the Holocaust Monument and lastly visit Alexanderplatz (known as the shopping district).
Anyhow along the way to the Berlin Wall, we kinda got lost but ended up stumbling upon a Zalando outlet, and what would a normal shopper like myself do? Of course check the place out! After being there for a little while, we continued our journey and found the famous wall.

The Dom
The last day in Berlin before we had to head back, it was our mission to visit the Holocaust monument and the Dom. Berlin is such an amazing city with lots of history and oh how I wish we had more time because there are so many things you could explore in the city but that must wait until my next visit. But I will say this, you would be a fool if you never once visit Berlin, especially if you live in a country close to Germany like Denmark (where I'm from :P)


Anyways that was all this time around. Hopefully you enjoyed my little travel diary and until next time - Ingat!

Lookbook: Autumn Chic

Dress: Gina Tricot / Wedges: Aldo / SkarfK H&M / Jewelry: Guess and Pilgrim
Autumn and Winter has never been a fortay of mine when it comes to fashion. Somehow I always end up wearing dresses even though I really should wear something much much warmer. Though this knitted dress with slits on each sides just screamed Autumn for me, I seriously believe this is a perfect piece to have in ones wardrobe all year round since you can pretty much dress it up or down. Since the weather isn't that bad yet here or I just don't want to face the fact that Winter is coming, I only decided to match my dress with my new and favorite chunky and super soft scarf from H&M

The good thing about scarfs like this baby is that it is really big so you can wear it as a skarf or use it as a shall - the decision is all up to you. And of course I couldn't help myself and matched the outfit with my favorite wedges and as the icing on the top, I decided to wear gold. Nothing screams more chic than gold necklaces matched with a turtle neck.


Question: How are you enjoying the weather? Are you excited for December? 


Anywho until next time - Ingat!
