Product Review: KISSME (ISEHAN) Heavy Rotation Coloring Eyebrow ~ Swatches

KissMe Heavy Rotation Coloring Mascara (Shade #01 Light Ash) was my first ever eyebrow mascara and I had been loving it since then.
I bought this eyebrow mascara about the time I started blogging on OnSugar (2 years?). My first one was bought from Taiwan Ebay.
Below shows my 2nd one bought from Taiwan stores with help from Elaine.

NT299 is about SGD$14.95

I love this shade alot because I usually bleach my hair and I want my eyebrow to look almost like my hair colour.

 

HEAVY ROTATION was formerly under KISSME. But recently, I found out KISSME has changed name to ISEHAN!!
Isehan.... Isetan? Any connection between them? lolx~

Current ISEHAN website:
See Heavy Rotation button link at the middle left hand side.

At Heavy Rotation page, shows the new version of the Coloring Eyebrow. The new version was out at about mid 2011 but I couldn't get my hands on it cos Singapore doesn't sell Coloring Eyebrow even though we have Heavy Rotation in stores, and Taiwan doesn't seem to carry this new version one too! (⌐_⌐")
Until last year Dec when I went to KL, I saw their Sasa selling the new coloring mascara! ^^
By the way, ¥840 is about SGD$13.35

And TADA!~ Here's the new version of Heavy Rotation Coloring Eyebrow in NEWEST Shade #03 Ash Brown!!

RM39.90 is about SGD$15.90 (Hmm... Taiwan cheaper? Or they had up the price in Japan? o_O)

The OLD vs the NEW!!
(Left) Heavy Rotation Coloring Eyebrow #01 Light Ash -- (Right) Heavy Rotation Coloring Eyebrow #03 Ash Brown
Realised the old one if 7gram and new is 8gram... where's the extra 1gram? The crystal shape cover?

(All the Lefts) #01 Light Ash -- (All the Rights) #03 Ash Brown
Note: I took these pics on a rainy day, hence there might be slight difference of the ones I took compare to the actual shade.

Sorry if the below pictures disgust all of you... m(_ _")m Pardon my super messy eyebrow!!
Due to the below swatches on my eyebrow were taken on a rainy day + on messy eyebrow + I didn't draw my eyebrow first, so the eyebrow mascara wasn't very obvious in the comparison photos as shown...
But in the super close-up pic, you could see the big difference between the 2 shades. One is ashy beige (left) and other is golden brown (right)

Overall Review of KISSME (ISEHAN) Heavy Rotation Coloring Eyebrow:
- Could conceal my black brow almost 80%
- Application is easier and works better with nicely trim brow than messy brow *points to upstairs*↑↑↑
- After applying 1 layer, wait for it to dry. Applying 2nd layer gives more coverage and colour becomes really intense
- After 2 applications, it dries up, hardens and stay in shape even after many hours
-  Sweatproof & waterproof, proven by me cos I wore it few times to play sports (I sweat buckets)
- Looks matte finished but has very fine glitters that could reflect under spotlight
- Only bad point is that the content from the tip of brush sometimes touches the skin and the colour stain the inner part of eyebrow, difficult to remove it, only way is to blend it out
- I like both the shades #01 & #03, they both suit my current hair colour

 

Here's one of the looks I recently took, also using the #01 Light Ash on top of NOEVIR excel Strong Liquid Eyebrow SWP #SL3
(Taken & edited by using IPhone App)

By the way, my hair is no longer like THIS anymore!!!!~ I'm currently restricted from posting my new haircut & haircolour online.... but uh.. perhaps it'll be revealed at one of the upcoming event's pic or something....(That, I can't stop right? =p~ lolx~) Stay tune!!!~  ╕(∩∑∩)╒

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

Product Review: Keratinology Advanced Reconstruction Program ~ Bloggers Event

On January this year, I was invited to attend a Keratinology Bloggers Event. It was held at Novus Restaurant & Bar at National Museum of Singapore. The venue was georgous~

A Heat Protector Spray was placed on every table ontop of a rotating device. Our table people: Na, Ah ru, Jermaine & myself used this anti-frizz spray on our hair that day and we immediately find our hair feeling smooth and silky! ^^

The menu at NOVUS~ And... where did my Red Snapper pic go?!?! I think i forgot to took a pic.. =p

The presenter was none other than Shawn again!~ He's very far from me and the room is dark, so the pic isn't clear ^_^" (See Shawn in my Sunsilk Weather Defense Haircare entry!)

And here is.. Ah Ru, Mi, Na, Jermaine~

Spot the blondie in here~ See my ugly stiff dry frizzy yellow hair..(and my fakey smile) This is a pic to show my 'Before' hair. lolx~

Keratinology by Sunsilk is launched in Sep 2011.
Keratinology prolongs the beauty of salon-treated hair.

THREE revolutionary ranges for specific salon-treated hair needs:
Advanced Reconstruction Program: Recover 1 year of accumulated damage in 5 days for total hair metamorphosis
Sun-Kissed Therapy: Next generation nourishment to prolong vibrant color & mirror-like shine
Korean Bounce Therapy: Breathe life back into your curls to maintain gorgeous bounce and sublime softness
Accolades: Cosmopolitan Inaugural Beauty Awards in March issue for “Best Leave-In Hair Conditioner – Drug Store” and “Best Heat-Styling Product – Drug Store”

[click to enlarge pics]

First, let's Welcome the Keratinology Advanced Reconstruction Program range!
The bloggers were all given 1 whole set of this series:

- Detoxifying Shampoo (200ml) - $11.90

- Express Treatment Conditioner (200ml) - $11.90

- Hair Spa Mask (200ml) - $21.90

- Dual Treatment Shots (Step1:4x15ml + Step2:4x5ml) - $22.90

- Overnight Reconstruction (100ml) - $19.90

- Heat Protector Spray Anti Frizz with UV Filter (180ml) - $17.90

Advanced Reconstruction Program - For all types of hair
Can be for Damage, Dry and even Oily hair!
It is said that the Advanced Reconstruction Program Recovers 1 year of accumulated damage in just 5 DAYS!!
I realised too that ONLY this range has more products in compare to the 2 other haircare range: Korean Bounce & Sun-kissed Colour.

Korean Bounce Therapy - For digital perm hair

Sun-Kissed Colour Therapy - For highlighted, coloured, bleached hair

Keratinogram App
Do you own an iPhone or Android phone? If you do, be sure to download this App name "Keratinogram" before buying your Keratinology products! It will tell you what you need to get, and how to use them!! (^o^)/~

miwitch's Step-by-Step guide in using Keratinogram:
Actually I bleached my hair ever since many years ago and I keep on bleaching it when there's new grown black hair, so the date I choose in Keratinogram is the earliest date 20 Dec 2011.
Even though it prompt me to use Sun-kiss Colour range but I replace it with my ARP (Advanced Reconstruction Program) range. ^^ It works well too, since I do not have any particular hair colour that I need to maintain (eg, red/purple/blue..) as my yellow hair is already the base colour so it is fine for me to use the ARP range.
[you realised I create my own acronyms "ARP", cos I'm lazy to keep typing the whole title out! ^^"]

 

Advanced Reconstruction Program Detoxifying Shampoo and Express Treatment Conditioner
Both of the shampoo and conditioner have the same type cap design, just by pressing the cap on one side, the opening will show up at the other corner. Shampoo has its opening on top of the product while Conditioner has it at the bottom.
Good thing for having the opening at the bottom because conditioner doesn't flow out smoothly like shampoo, so that make sure the content is always at the bottom of the bottle, it's more ergonomic that way. ^^
This Shampoo and Conditioner is to be used on daily basis.

Descriptions & Ingredients written on back of bottle

Shampoo & Conditioner Swatches & Application pictures

Texture Review of Advanced Reconstruction Program Detoxifying Shampoo and Express Treatment Conditioner
- Shampoo flows out easily from bottle, feels watery smooth, easy to apply on my scalp and my hair
- Shampoo creates quite alot of foam which make it very easy to lather for my very dry hair
- After washing off the Shampoo, my wet hair doesn't feel squeaky dry
- Conditioner is easily dispensed out from bottom of the bottle
- Conditioner feels really smooth and I have no problem smoothing it out on my hair
- After washing out the conditioner, my wet hair feels so smooth without any tangles when I brush my fingers through it
- Both the Shampoo and Conditioner smells really pleasant & sweet

Advanced Reconstruction Program Hair Spa Mask
This Hair Mask is tub form. It's said that this mask could penetrate through 3 layers of the hair fibre for deep nourishment and longer lasting salon curls.
This Hair Mask is to be used on a 3-4 day basis. Or, use it anytime you feel your hair is dry and requires nourishment.

Hair Spa Mask Swatches & Application pictures
Once you open it by screwing off the cover, you will see the mask. There is no seal or anything to prevent the content from moving around inside the tub. However, because of its thick consistency, the mask stayed firm and doesnt budge an inch even when I place the tub upside down.

Texture Review of Advanced Reconstruction Program Hair Spa Mask
- The mask is of thick consistency and it feels smooth just like any other masks
- Applying the mask onto my hair is an ease due to its smooth texture
- After applying for few seconds, my wet hair starts to form whitish solution and it starts dripping
- I usually clip up my hair and start bathing other parts of body, and after 10mins or so, I will wash off the mask
- Hair feels really silky smooth after washing it off
- I would still continue to apply conditioner to 'close' the routine so that my hair will maintain its smoothyness after my hot bath
- The mask scent is sweet & pleasant

Advanced Reconstruction Program Dual Treatment Shots
There are 4 pairs of tubes in a box. Each pair contain Step 1 and Step 2 tubes.
This is a WEEKLY Intensive treatment. Unlike the Hair Spa Mask, this cannot be used on a daily basis, otherwise it will be too rich for your hair to handle.
The usage of the 2 shots is:
1st dose - with concentrated protein, penetrates deep into the core of the hair fibre. Leave it for 3 minutes and rinse off.
2nd dose - with pico-nutrients, seals the cuticles of the hair. Do not rinse off.

Dual Treatment Shots Swatches & Application pictures
To use the tubes, you need to break off the pointed part of the tube and squeeze the content out onto palm.

Texture Review of Advanced Reconstruction Program Dual Treatment Shots
- Step 1 treatment feels like conditioner but slightly thicker
- Each tube is enough for me to apply 2 times, be it the Step 1 or Step 2 treatments!
- Step 1 treatment also feels really smooth and easy to apply on my wet hair
- I applied step 1 treatment on my hair and wait for about 2-3 mins
- After washing off the treatment, my hair feels soft & nourished but it's not as smooth as when conditioner is applied. To complete the routine, I continue using conditioner to make it feel silky
- Step 2 treatment is a transparent oil serum, the amount in this tube is too much for 1 application. I used a tube for about 3 seperate applications on different days
- Step 2 treatment was used on slightly damp to almost dried hair in the above picture, hence you can see my hair ends kind of stick together
- It is best recommended to use any non-rinse hair serums/lotions on only damp hair, because it absorbs best when its still alittle wet and it won't leave any sticky after-feel when it's dried
- Step 2 treatment gets absorbed super fast into my hair as its very light-weight kind of oil serum, it absorbs so fast that I need to keep pouring more out from the tube to apply to other parts of the hair
- It doesn't leave any stickiness feeling at all

Advanced Reconstruction Program Overnight Reconstruction
An intensive 8 hour action that can recovers up to 1 month of protein loss in just 1 night. It's said to reconstructs while you sleep for beautiful hair when you wake up.
This is 1 product that got me WoOooOOo! ☆╙(◎◇◎)╖☆ Reason because I like applying hair serum or lotion on my frizzy dry bleached hair right after my night bath, so that on the next morning, my hair will feel silky smooth! Or at least the hair ends won't feel so stiff and frizzy!
I had never came across any non-rinse treatment that mention "Overnight" so I am pretty fascinated with this *NEW* 'overnight' product! ╰((^▽^))╯
This bottle comes in a pump type and I had to say I'm pretty frustrated with the bottle cap. It is too loose and it comes off very easily :\

Overnight Reconstruction Swatches & Application pictures

Texture Review of Advanced Reconstruction Program Overnight Reconstruction
- The content is a light-weight, non-sticky type of lotion
- Overnight Reconstruction was used on dried hair in the above picture, hence you can see my hair ends kind of stick together
- It is best recommended to use any non-rinse hair serums/lotions on only damp hair, because it absorbs best when its still alittle wet and it won't leave any sticky after-feel when it's dried
- On days when I apply it on damp hair, my hair feels really smooth and non-frizzy on the next morning
- On the next morning, I can easily sweep fingers through my hair without any tangles, feels smooth and doesn't appear sticky
- The scent is sweet & pleasant, making my hair smells really great even after half a day
- This is 1 product I would keep using every night because it doesn't feels heavy, but I had to make sure I only use this on damp hair only. Otherwise, it will feel oily if use on dried hair

Advanced Reconstruction Program Heat Protector Spray Anti Frizz With UV Filter
Advanced thermo-protective formula helps repair porous damaged hair, preventing against breakage and frizz as you style for a professional look.
Besides the Overnight Reconstruction, I also love using anti frizz hair products, since my major problem here is frizzy hair (besides oily scalp and dry hair... so many problems! Lolx~).
This spray is easy to use just *Psst Psst* press that lever and its content will come out as water mists!

Texture/Usage Review of Advanced Reconstruction Program Heat Protector Spray
As its hard for me to capture the mists in photos, hence I would just describe it here..
- The mist covers a wide area of my hair when its sprayed out
- While spraying, a very nice sweet scent fills the air
- The mist that landed on my hair felt just like normal water droplets, non-greasy, non-sticky
- I then use both palms to press against my hair and smooth it out to hair ends
- When I run fingers through my hair, it starts to get alittle smoother over time
- After few minutes, hair feels really smooth, non-frizzy and it even soften the texture of my dry crispy hair!

Gallery of Before and After using Advanced Reconstruction Program range Products
To let all of you know, I have oily scalp but dry, stiff hair and very brittle, frizzy hair ends. Reason why my hair is so damaged because of hair bleaching done by unprofessional hair salonist in KL. =_=
Formerly, I have dry hair but it wasn't as bad as this, because my hair didn't fall or break that often. During my trip to KL, I visited a salon and requested for hair bleaching + dyeing on my new grown hair. And I ended up having clumps of hair falling off when I was shampooing & masking my hair during my bath. I freaked out.
I thought I was losing hair but actually, my hair melted. Due to too much of chemicals being injected to already slightly damaged hair.
Just like what Shawn (the presenter) had mentioned, he challenged his hair by bleaching and dyeing several times on his hair and he found out that apparently, hair doesn't break or drop off from roots, they just melt. That is why my  hair came off in clumps instead of single strands falling off.

Full Review of Advanced Reconstruction Program range Products
I been using this range for 2 months and I must say that I am very happy with the results!
- I love the shampoo as it is both suitable for my oily scalp and also for my dry hair. It doesn't make my scalp oily and itchy nor does it make my hair ends dry
- The conditioner is always the 1 product I never skip regardless that I'd used Mask or Dual Shot Treatments. Conditioner is just like a moisturiser for the face. After masking, it's required for nourishing & sealing my hair cuticles so the essence of the mask or treatment will not go to waste.
- I like using Hair Spa Mask every 3 days to treat my hair, it gives my hair a better shine and makes my hair feel soft and smooth after bath
- I seldom use Dual Treatment Shot due to the hassle of storing the leftovers. As mentioned earlier, I can use 1 tube for 2 or more seperate applications so the tube had to be stored in a cup or something with its opening facing upwards or else the treatment will flow out from the tube
- Even though the hassle, I still quite like the effect that Dual Treatment Shot gives. For that particular week, my hair seems alittle more manageable, provided that I remember to keep applying Step 2 Treatment on damp hair every day.
- I like using the Overnight Reconstruction since it is easy to use and its non-rinse and moreover I could sleep with it.
- In the above gallery of Before & After pics, you see that my hair looks really oily and sticky (under Overnight Reconstruction row) is because I use it after my hair had fully dried. I should use it on damp hair so it will not look like that.
- Overnight Reconstruction is good in 'moisturising' as I feel it could seal in moisture to my hair, it weights down my light and thin hair and make it look silky straight.
- But sometimes when my hair is super stubborn, even Overnight Reconstruction isn't enough to tame my frizzy hair. I would still use Heat Protector Spray on the next morning to anti-frizz my hair ends
- Heat Protector Spray is so far the best anti-frizz haircare product I ever use as it could soften, moisture, anti-frizz my hair without making it look greasy, sticky or makes my scalp itch. Usually when I use other kinds of anti-frizz products, it always make my scalp itch after half a day because my hair starts to turn oily.
- Overall, I really love using Keratinology and it had gave my hair a new life! I am lucky to have receive this full set of ARP so that I could save my super damaged hair. (It came just in time!)
- I will definitely try out the Sun-Kiss Coloured range too once I run out of ARP Shampoo and Conditioner~  ^_^ ♥☆♥☆♥

♥☆♥☆♥ miwitch's Haircare Tips ♥☆♥☆♥
- To shampoo scalp and hair roots instead of shampooing hair ends. Because shampoo means cleansing. Cleansing at the scalp and hair roots area is more important than cleansing at hair ends.
- To apply all rinse-off haircare conditioner/mask/treatments onto hairends as they might clog the pores on your scalp and could cause dandruff or hair fall.
- After the last step of conditioning, run your hair with room temperature or cold water. This will smooths out tangles and makes hair less frizzy!
- To apply all non-rinse haircare treatments/serum/lotions onto damp hairends as it can absorb better and it will not make hair feel sticky and oily after the hair is dried. And why hairends, reason is the same as applying conditioner on hairends.
- When you wake up with dry frizzy hair, run your hair with wet hands and fingers first to make your hair alittle damp, then spray on Heat Protector Spray. Blow dry with cool or room temperature air to your hairends and you'll find your hair appear silky smooth and less that frizz!
- Remember, cold water and cold air can manage your hair easier & faster than warm water and hot air.

Comic Fiesta 2011 @ KLCC: My Cosplay & Beauty Haul (pic intensive!)

This post is somewhat the continuation of my previous X'mas-New Year post. ^^ (Read HERE for the previous post)

Last year Dec 16-19, I and a few friends went to Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur for a Cosplay event, Comic Fiesta 2011. The CF 2011 was held at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) and we stayed only a walking distance away, which is the Impiana Hotel.

The Petronas Twin Towers taken at night with Iphone. I posted this pic on that day in Instagram.

This is not my first time going to KL as previous was a work trip at some ulu KL industrial area, but I totally never been in KL town area before so most of the shopping places were recommended by my friends. Our first stop was at Nandos @ Sungei Wang. Heard that Nandos in Malaysia is 100% yummier than Singapore + cheap + no service charge! So yah, I tried one of their set meal. It was OK for me. My friends mentioned that the chicken thigh has shrunk and the taste wasn't that yummy like last time. They were rather disappointed.
The MILD flag is actually the spiciness level. I love adding the Garlic sauce from the bottle, my food taste nicer with the garlic ^^

Then we proceed to Sungei Wang for shopping, cos my friends said Sungei Wang is the best shopping place in KL, its like Far East Plaza, there are many levels and many shops in there and all their stuffs are CHEAAPPPppp~.
And what did I do? I went to a SALON to BLEACH my hair. (Not cheap though, cost me RM400!) Lolx~ I wanted to do it because I'm need my hair to be yellow for my cosplay on the CF Day 2. Below is a magazine which I was reading while I'm doing my hair. Fashion bloggers magazine! When will Singapore have their own Fashion/Beauty Bloggers magazine? o_O The contents inside the mag was very interesting! ^^

We then had Korean BBQ for dinner! Funny thing for this restaurant is that the staff in there said "SA WA DI KA!" to welcome customers. Isn't that THAI????!!! Lolx!~ Anyways, I LOVEEEEEEE The meat!!!! Its tender, thickness was just nice, so I don't find it hard to chew but yet, its thick enough to spill juices inside my mouth. *mouth watering meat~* I was still craving for more after we finished cos th BBQ set was shared among 5 of us. =p

And my small Haul @ Sungei Wang... Nothing much eh? I was in need of face mist (forgot to bring to KL) so dropped by Etude house to get 1 ^^ and look at the pretty paper bag they gave me~ BTW, it was a man who served me at Etude house.. Shouldn't singapore start recruiting male BAs now? We are like WAYYYYY behind! Hong Kong, Korea, Malaysia they all employ handsome male BAs! SG should have too! >,<

After half a day of shopping & eating, we all PENGS cos we din have any sleep at all on the previous day!!!!!~ (The long couch was REALLY COMFY!~ <^o^<)

The next day was Comic Fiesta Day 1. I wasn't cosplaying as I only intend to do for CF Day 2. And here shows me in my newly bleached hair. (Its SUPA DRY I TELL YOU! >_< I think I could die if I don't mask it.)

We walked from our hotel to Pavilion. There were tons of BEARS displayed outside the Pavilion, featuring each country's paintings & designs on the bear. Some of the designs are pretty obvious where its from, I compiled a few bears to show to all as seen below.
Anyone can guess the replica version of winnie the pooh is from_____???? And guess which is Singapore's???

We then walk to Sungei Wang, and on the way went in other malls to take a look.
I also went in Sephora and found out that their stuffs are sold slightly cheaper than Singapore! I din buy anything though, cos the lighting in there was Orange, I can't see the swatches whether they are beige/yellow/orange or wat! I hate their lightings <∆<"

And so.. that's about much for my first overseas trip to a cosplay event ^_^ Perhaps, the next time would be Japan! Looking forward to it!

Though I always been busy, that doesn't stop me from taking pics of my OOTD when I'm going out on my Off days. (My Off days are like, very RARE~) Hmm.. I'm thinking should I rename my blog to like, Monthly Dressup Shots instead of Daily? ahhax~ I seriously do not know why I put Daily. *knocks own head* (>,<")o~

Anyhoo, if you had been following me in Instagram, you probably had seen my OOTD shots as like below: (Clicky to enlarge)

To view the online version of my Instagram page is: http://instaview.me/user/miwitch/
I started using Instagram around January and I just got addicted like few months ago. ^.^
I been posting other random pics too in my a/c but I'll probably just limit to taking OOTD, LOTD, NOTD, my pets, food (if its really like delicious~ ^^), and stuffs that are visually appealing (lolx~) in the future.

 

And this is my most recent OOTD, also posted in Instagram.
The day I went to MNET Asian Music Award (MAMA) SG 2011 @ Indoor Stadium!!!~ ^o^/~
OOTD theme: Peach on Flats
Decipher: Peachy legs wearing flat boots. Lolx~ I already expect myself to stand for 4-6 hours without resting so I gotta wear flats!
I thought that I'm rather underdress that day (am I not? ^^") apparently, I received a comment from some stranger "she's shouldn't be in here". My colleagues laughed at the statement and they told me to go up stage. hahhax~

Wahahx.. messy hair~ And oh god, my puffy eyes.. (@)_(@) Recently, my face starts to have bumps & scars again... =( *conceal conceal conceal!*

Outside Indoor Stadium. See the QQQQQQQQ!!!~~~

Me & my colleagues before the event starts~

The Korean STARS!!!~ I'm only looking at 2NE1, Super Junior, Girls Generation (SNSD) and BEAST! (B2ST)
Though they look small in my pics, but in actual they look pretty near to us! And looks BIG in my eyes! OoO WOoooo~

Overall, I only love it when the bands come onto the stage and perform. Other than that, I'm not enjoying it. :\ Imagine we have to stand 4 hours at 1 spot (literally!) and we couldn't move at all. Plus i hate it when everyone takes out cam to take pics & videos of the stars. I mean, who the hell would look at your blur pics and unsteady videos? The cams and arms are blocking my view even though I'm like 1 head taller than anybody else (most of them infact, which gives me an ultimate advantage especially for standing concerts. Lolx~), so when their arms are up, I had to switch to looking at the big screen. Basket.
If its just taking few pics for like 20 secs, I find its still ok. But NOOOoo, they had to hang their cams in the air for the whole of 3-4 hours! I wish I could like use the lightstick to PIAK at the person's head infront of me to get her bring down her stupid chunky DSLR. Lolx!
Actually, I hit her and her friend few times on the head accidentally cos she keep moving backwards almost leaning on me as she need to bring up her BIG DSLR and I was like "OH YEAH, WOOOO, YAHHHH!!" *Puts hands up, wave lightstick, PIAK her head with arm* XD~
A young girl standing beside me was pretty high too and we both sing along to every of the K-pop songs. (She didn't take pics! Amazed!) I kinda felt there's this weird connection between me and her through-out the whole event. kekex!~ While on other side my colleagues who only know Suju songs, they kept taking pics & vids and shriek when Suju comes up. *Ouch my ears* =_=
Talking about bad concert experience.. This is like my 3rd time? =.= Sigh~ Wat's with all these youngsters???? Perhaps, I'm too old for concerts? >_>"

At end of the event, this tent still open for business. I the backdrop. It makes the tent look so classic and vintage. Don't you think? ^^

Goodies: A free recycle bag & brownies in stickers of handsome korean male artistes *drools* I mean, DROOLS on brownie. =p
I saw a B!bigo Hot Stone advert on one of the postcard, looks nice! Anyone went before? =D I hope to try it someday! Na, Ah Ru, wana go? kekex~

Oh yes, never end an event without some unexpected souvenirs. hahhax~

Collective Hauls

I did bought lots of stuffs, but I feel that maybe I just show some for today, as I got not much time to do a long post.. ^^" I'll continue my haul post next time!
Castledew Pear-up Eyes: Of the 3, I got myself the white one. The 2 green ones I gave to Na & Ah Ru! ^^ Hope you all like it!

Rachel K Mineral Color Control BB in Neutral $35 (less 30%): Bought it at watsons sales, Suntec outlet. Like finally sales on Rachel K, but to my surprise, no one is at the Rachel K shelf. My luck perhaps? ^^
Uniqlo Bowler Hat in light brown $29.90: So cute! I'm actually saving, refrain from buying anything fashion related stuffs, so I could spend more if I go Japan next year, but this hat is too lovely, I hope to wear this in Japan!~ ^^

L'Oreal Infaillible Eyeshadow #024 Bronze Goddess $14.90
L'Oreal Infaillible Eyeshadow #027 Goldmine $14.90
Had to thanks Na for helping to find these 2 shades during the Buy 2 get 1 free promo (@ Watsons only)

When one mention Bronze, naturally one will think its warm tone. Compare to my other eye look (right side), Bronze Goddess appear to be of a cooler tone, almost towards greenish-grey. The Infaillible eyeshadow has this pretty glitters and gives off a smooth satin sheen when applied.
By the way, it looks much more pigmented if I use finger to apply them. Brushes doesn't pick up the pigments well.

And that's all for my post today~ Thanks all for reading!~ ^^

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

enesti masks in variety $1.50 each: Bought @ Robinson sales

Thanks to Na, I got Sleek Paint Pout via her spree.. ^^ Each cost ~$11.30 after converting + shipping.

OCC Lip Tar vs Sleek Paint Pout
I have OCC Hush & Trollop, both are last year's birthday presents from Na ^^ And now I bought 4 Sleek Paint Pouts namely Cloud 9, Minx, Peachy Keen, Milkshade.
I did swatches of all, and found that OCC is more watery and Sleek feels alot thicker/creamier than OCC. Both are very pigmented and can cover dark lips. I prefer OCC for its smell and that it has this minty taste. But I prefer Sleek for its tip, able to control how much I want to dispense, unlike OCC it always flow a huge amount out and make a mess everywhere.
I did some colour mix with Cloud 9.. And come to think of it, I don't own any mixing palette.. time to get 1!  Any recommendations?^^

OCC Hush vs Sleek Minx
I did a DUPE swatch of OCC Hush vs Sleek Minx, as shown on 2nd pic. I gave up on OCC Trollop vs Sleek Milkshake because I find that they don't really look like dupes at all after I did my first swatch (above pic).
Although both looks pinkish but Sleek Minx has this mild rosy tint while OCC Hush is towards the beige side.

Sally Hansen Extra Strength Creme Hair Bleach (Before & After pic)
I think I forgot to show my before eyebrow pic..^_^" Anyways, just imagine messy black eyebrow!
The bleaching is so strong that it only took less than 5mins for my eyebrow to turn light brown. When its about time, certain part of my skin starts to sting. Its a warning to say that I'd put for too long, so I immediately wipe the creme off and wash it.
As shown below, I followed instructions, put 5ml of activator with 10ml of bleach. After mixing for sometime, it becomes more than 30ml which I can use it to bleach my eyebrow, finger hair, knee hair & toes hair (lolx~ Why the hell I bleach these areas?! Cos, I find these hair obvious and obscene than my leg hair. =p~) and maybe my armpit hair (if I have XD~)

Shu Uemura vs Shiseido Lash Curler
My Shiseido lash curler recently failed to curl my lashes even after I changed the rubber to a new one. Probably reason why because I been using it for like, more than 5 years? ^^" The metal parts now feels loose. Thus, Shu Uemura now officially replaces Shiseido curler~
Remembering at the beginning, Shiseido was as good as my current Shu Uemura curler. I had changed the rubber for several times already. I guess its really the time for me to let go. *sobx* T^T
Below shows the comparison between the 2. Note the areas that I drew arrows are the places that shows obvious differences.
And I wonder now, where do I buy the rubber for Shu Uemura? I bought Shiseido's from Chinatown, IVY shop. Not sure if they also sell Shu Uemura? o_O Anyone have any idea?

One of my latest OOTD
Pink Jacket: Overseas
White Spag with white roses: GMarket
Black Culotte: GMarket
Turquoise Gradient Tights: Overseas
Black heels: HK
Turquoise Bracelet: Bugis Street

One of my latest LOTD (excuse my messy eyebrow... & my imbalance eye makeup.. my skills STILL have not improve eh?-_-")
Majolica Majorca eyeshadow BE121: as highlight
i nuovi Trucolor eyeshadow in Rich Gold : Inner- center
GINO McCRAY Pro Make-up Eyeshadow #09 Peach Pink: Outer
Loreal Paris Super Liner 24H: Eyeliner
KissMe Heroine Make long & curl mascara: I layered twice - three times so it can look alittle more volumized

My current fav face expression = *POUTS (to reduces the impression of sagginess make my face look alittle more plump)

Thanks for reading this ridiculously long and image heavy post.... Imagine me spending 10 over hours typing this.. But anyways, I like being talkative in my blog. hahax!

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

Product Review: L'Oréal Paris Revitalift White Essence & White Day Cream SPF 18 + Giveaway

On August, Tiff brought me & Na along to the L'Oreal Paris Exclusive Preview of Revitalift White. (Thanks Tiff! ^.^)
At the preview event, I saw so many familiar faces! ^.^

At this preview, we saw many pictures of HEBE TIEN - The New Face of L’Oreal Paris
L’Oreal Paris Revitalift White Day Cream fights the 1st signs of ageing and targets 15 skin problems all at once, simplifying her potentially complicated skincare regime. No wonder this is the one skincare product she swears by!
“First signs of ageing? I have it under control.” Says Hebe.

15 Signs of Ageing. 1 Solution.
A Multi-Tasking Solution for Busy, Time-Pressured Women in their mid 20s
Harsh environmental aggressions such as sun exposure and pollution, coupled with hectic and stressful lives contribute to the appearance of premature ageing in women in their mid 20s. Revitalift White Day Cream SPF18 is developed specifically for these women who are not quite ready to use an intensive anti-aging treatment for deep-set wrinkles or visible loss of skin firmness, but who still seeks to fight the first signs of aging.
It is an “all-in-one” solution, designed to simultaneously address the 15 key signs of ageing in one single step.

Ingredients:
Hard-Working Active Ingredients, for Results you can See and Feel
Pro-Retinol A (Prevents Premature Ageing): Reduces wrinkles and fine lines by stimulating cell renewal Helps to thicken the epidermis for a complexion that looks soft, smooth and supple
Vitamin B3 (For Fairer, Translucent & More Radiant Skin): Evens out patchy skin tones & lightens skin without a trace of brown spots or pigmentation by inhibiting the transfer of skin-darkening melanin to skin cells
Shea Butter (For Hydration) Holds moisture within your skin and strengthens the lipid barrier in your skin, leaving your skin soft and glowing

Application: Revitalift White Day Cream glides like silk over skin and melts easily for a light and refreshing feel. Upon application, this pearly cream leaves a nice sheen over the face for an immediate skin-brightening effect.
It works.
100% saw reduction in fine lines 93% saw a clearer complexion and fairer skin
Based on 40 women who used Revitalift White Day Cream SPF 18 for eight weeks.

We were later asked to design our mirror with tthe provided materials like ribbons, stickers, beads and other decoratives.
Na, AutumnCandy, Jerlaine & I had so much fun goofing around with the mirror and the mini size Revitalift White Day Cream. Keke~ Those mirrors that has the Revitalift White Day Creams are ours! Try spot them in the below pic! ^^
As Jiaqi & Jiayi's mirrors aren't ready yet, so I took a seperate picture of theirs while they are still doing it. =p~

Close-up of my very messy Mirror curtain design. By the way, I want to complain that the glue we used was totally useless, it don't stick at all! No glue can win over Cosplayer's #1 best friend - UHU Glue! hahahax~ They should have UHU next time when they want us to do any Art again at the events. =.=
That's the reason why I didn't bring the mirror back because I know the beads and stuffs will fall off and become a sticky mess if I place it in my bag.. =p
Next to mine, is Na's one.. Many butterflies stickers~

And GUESS WHAT? I won the Mirror design contest! Thanks to Na, AutumnCandy, Jerlaine and 1 more person who voted for my mirror! Can't forget how we discussed to have the L'Oreal White Perfect rotate among us 4 since they helped me to win it!.. kekex.. So crappy but fun! XD~
Nonetheless, thanks to all the ladies that I got to win the prize, I'm loving it right now! ^^

Some pictures taken with my IPhone! Using Camera Pudding application. So dreamy & nice right?! =D

Taken with my cam~ Last pic is me & Jermaine

Before talking about the products, I want to promote my all time favourite colour lens.. hehex~ The I.Fairy lens again! ^-^
This time, I'm wearing NOVA BLUE. I didn't do any PS to the lens, I only bring up the levels and curves of the pic so it won't look too dull.
You can read more of my I.Fairy lens posts & reviews from HERE (Again, pardon for my reddish & puffy eyes.. ^^")

~~~

What's in my Goodie bag:
- L'Oréal Paris Gentle Lip and eye make-up remover
- L'Oréal Paris Revitalift White Day Cream SPF 18 (50ml)
- L'Oréal Paris Revitalift White Essence (30ml)
- L'Oréal Paris White Perfect (Won during Mirror design contest)
- L'Oréal Paris Revitalift White CD

Review of L'Oréal Paris Revitalift White Essence
Texture:
As seen from the pic, it's like white lotion but feels more watery and when spread out, it becomes clear. It takes only a little time for me to spread it out further and get it absorbed into my skin.
Once it gets absorbed, there is only a tiny bit sticky after-feel. It totally ain't greasy at all which gives it a Plus+ point there! ^^

Smell:
No foul smell or anything, smells great for an essence! ^^

Usage:
After applying toner on my face, I apply White Essence. (Both day & night)
I usually will pump 3-4 full pumps onto my palm and spread it all around my face and neck except eyes area.
Lightly massage the essence onto my face in circular motions, concentrating on the scars, wrinkle/fine lines, sagging skin. (Since it can promise to deliver results for all of these problems! ^.^)
After it's absorbed my face and hands have a slight sticky after-feel, then I'll lightly press my hands onto my whole face. After awhile, the sticky feeling will minimise.
A bottle of 30ml White Essence was used up by me within a month! Lolx.. It's not like as if I got a big face or something.. ^_^"
I think 30ml is quite little for essence? Probably 50ml would be just nice! ^.^

My thoughts:
The white essence has got to be my favourite product out of the lot of stuffs I received.
It lightens my scars and doesn't make me break out or give me clog pores. Its moisturing level is just right for my skin, without being overly rich.
It refreshes my tired skin, pumps up the areas that's lacking moisture and firms it.



Review of L'Oréal Paris Revitalift White Day Cream SPF 18
Texture:
Basically it's just like how it looks like from the swatch pic - Thick white cream. (lolx~)
Its thick but non-greasy, hence its harder to blend or spread out than I thought it would! Usually for creams, I would think that they are greasy, so with just a pea size it could spread out to a huge area easily but NOPE, it's totally  different for Revitalift White Day Cream! ^^
After spreading the cream out, it leaves a slight reflective protective moisture film over my skin and a minimal white cast. However the white cast is barely noticeable, instead it looks more like as if its giving me an instant radiant face. (Just like what it says, pearly nice sheen!)

Probably because I have combination skin, it feels fine on the areas that are dry (forehead, below cheeks area). Only T-zone areas appears oily but actually it's just the skin surface looking reflective as I tried to blot but there's nothing there at all! ^^"

Smell:
Same like the White Essence, no foul smell or anything, smells great! ^^

Usage:
After the White Essence, I will apply White Day Cream. (only use during Day time as it contains SPF)
The amount I apply is roughly 50 cents big. Or, I will dot my whole face with the day cream and then using clean fingers to blend it up and outwards all over my face and below chin areas. I do not want to apply excessive cream as I'm always afraid that creams will clog my pores.
I'm careful to NOT apply on my neck as I experienced clog pores before using other products on my neck that results to pimples.. ^_^" If you do not have the same problem as me, perhaps you can consider to use on your neck areas as it provides SPF, it'll help to keep your neck from the UV rays too~

My thoughts:
I'm also loving this White Day Cream because it provides a minimal SPF that could protect me from the UV Rays (if I'm not gonna apply sunblock or makeup).
Secondly, I like the feel of that pearly sheen or film on my skin. It really make me look as if I have a moisturised radiant face that reflects light! Hahax! =D
Lastly, i like the size of the White Day Cream - 50ml. I'm looking into using it for at least 3 months for sure to better show the effects of using it.

BEFORE (left pic) and AFTER (right pic) of skin at my cheek-jaw area
Enlarge the pics by clicking it.
The areas where I grow bumps, black/white heads, scars are highlighted by the arrows on the left pic. Notice how clean my face had become? And notice how my cheeks now reflects light? ^^
*Both pics are taken bare face, no photoshop and haven't applied any skincare.

BEFORE (left pic) and AFTER (right pic)of skin at side of my mouth - laughing line area
I have deep laugh line extending out from corner of my nose down =( (Maybe I shouldn't laugh too much? lolx.. See, I laugh again..)
And I often experience small oil bumps growing ALONG my laugh lines! Then after using my itchy fingers to pick them out, it leaves scars ALONG the lines. Horrible! Making my laugh line look even deeper as if I'd used a eyeliner to draw along my laugh line? (=_=")
After only 2-3 weeks of using Revitalift products, surprisingly the oil bumps stop growing and the scars cleared. Also noticed my saggy skin became firm. ^_^
Significant results! By looking at my skin using my own bare eyes, sometimes I couldn't spot the differences unless pictures were put side by side to compare. (Yap, I'm blind alright to not notice the differences! >o<)
*Both pics are taken bare face, no photoshop and haven't applied any skincare.

Overall Review of L'Oréal Paris Revitalift White Essence & White Day Cream SPF 18
Overall, I feel both products are great, it works well enough being used alone (combi with other brands) but works best when used together! ^^
Its been awhile since I can have fairer, smoother, supple skin and a skin that doesn't oxidise the foundation anymore. Remembering about 2 months ago, I was still frustrated with my face that keeps oxidising any foundation that I put on which causes my face to look really dark & dull.
This time round, I'm so glad my face appeared radiant than before.
Now that I had ran out of White Essence, I would really want to purchase it and continue using it till I see even better results! (If it could give me ^^)
Even though the products are made to combat wrinkles, but I still feel my laugh lines' rather deep. Perhaps my laugh line ain't 1st sign of aging anymore, it should be my 1824093751236 sign of aging! (Since i'm no longer 25 ok...) kekkex..

Short Review of L'Oréal Paris White Perfect Eye Cream
Just a short review of this Vibrating tool (lolx~ =p)..
I'm not using the eye cream much as it contains mica and I personally prefer not to use any skincare with mica during night time. Wherelse, I LOVE its vibrating tool! The massager design is GREAT! Its big, has wide circumference, it's metallic so it feels cold on skin if stored in a cool place. The micro-vibrations feels great too, it soothes my tired eyes when I circle it around them.

Product Review: Sunsilk Weather Defense Haircare (Video) ~ Sunsilk Bloggers Event

Last month July, TheSampleStore invited me to the Sunsilk Weather Defense Bloggers event. It was held at Ben & Jerry's @ Heeren.
Why outdoors you say? Because the Sunsilk organising team think that it suits their theme "Weather Proof Your Hair". So they want to know how weather proof OUR hair are (ie, against Summer Sun, wind, etc). hahahax..

The product packaging colour is same as the clear folder and my bag! Turquoise!~ Loving this colour much~

DO YOU KNOW?
Hair increases in length by up to 3% from dry to humid ways.
It reacts in completely unpredictable ways - Curly hair may frizz up and straight hair goes limp.
¾ women get 15% more frizz when it's over 24°C.
UV Rays also cause frizz and severe hair damage.

Now, with RARE INGREDIENTS...
Sunsilk features the ROSE OF JERICHO, a resurrection ingredient that comes to life after months of appearing lifeless!


With this Rare ingredient, Sunsilk's NEW Weather Defense range promises to prevent our hair from:
FRIZZ
FLYAWAY
FLATNESS
*Yeah!* if it could do that to my hair! ^o^v~

Live demo on one of the bloggers' hair.

During Q&A sessions, Shawn answered a few questions that most of them I already knew.
Particularly one question that was asked was something like:
Why do we grow white hair and will plucking white hair makes us grow 3 white hair?

He answered that why we grow white hair even at a young age like now, usually is because of stress level, the environmental issues and your personal daily lifestyle. All in all, it affects your body in someway and it will affect the cells underneath your scalp, therefore affecting the growth & colour pigments of your hair.
Another is cause by genetic (inherited from your parents/grandparents).
And whether or not by plucking 1 white hair will make you grow more white hair, he doesn't know because it's always been a myth and many people still believes it.  For this, I knew the answer. ^_^ (I knew but I didn't share at the event because I was shy to say.. =p~) The answer is NO.

I had a chat with Shawn about white hair during our ice-cream eating time. Lolx..
I told him that I have white hair since 12+, I got it from my parents, (same to my brother too). I didn't do anything to it till I was about 20 and was influenced by someone else who have the exact same problem as me, then I started plucking out all the white hair.
True enough as what I was taught, the white hair got lesser and the whites didn't grew back. And now I have full black hair!! ^^ (If bleached hair doesn't count.. lolx) Reason why plucking your white hair doesn't make it grow more whites because every strand of hair is attached to a follicle (like a pore that grows out hair... lolx~). By plucking 1 hair from that follicle, doesn't split your follicle to 3! Your follicle is still 1 and it can only grow 1 strand of hair! So girls, don't believe this myth and don't be stubborn about it, it can't and it won't grow 3 white hair! =p~
Every time I see any white hair, I'll just pluck them out, (I'll pluck out for my friends too =p~) and now, only once in a bluemoon I will get a few strands of white hair.
As for whether it affects my hair volume, there isn't much changes from the time I was 12 and now. Because all the while, I always have limp oily thin hair with little volume. Perhaps, it did become alittle thinner than last time however I feel that my follicles are still rather strong and healthy, it regrow pretty fast, therefore it also explains why my hair grows long pretty quick too.
I also discussed with Shawn about how the white/grey hair comes about and he agreed with me too. I said that I remembered reading an article many years ago on how a person can get more white/grey hair or faster than anybody else is because of the pigment cells in the roots. When a person age or due to other factors, the pigment cells weakens and it will make your hair loose its black pigments making it look grey or white. If this is cause by age, it doesn't help if you pluck them out.
But if you are young and you have lots of white hair like me in the past, even though you could pluck them (like what I did) but here, I'm advising you not to. Because everyone has different hair regrowth rate. It might take me just a few months for my follicle to regrow new hair but it might take someone else a year or more. So, I do not want anyone of you to hate me after reading this and start plucking your white hair, later found out that you became bald.. lolx~
By the way, ALTHOUGHHhhh scientifically it says that another white hair will grow in its place to replace your plucked white hair since the pigment cell is already dead, but I still prefer to think otherwise. ^^""

Anyways, I already stopped plucking my white hairs for almost half a year now reason because I been bleaching and dyeing my hair! hhahax..
Its no way less harmful than plucking hair but at least its a beauty/fashion icon to own a coloured hair and also, it voluminise my hair too! After dyeing, my hair lost its moisture causing the hair to fluff up to about 1.5 times of its usual thickness, and because my hair's dry, it automatically sucked in all the sebum that my scalp could produce, making my hair look non-oily yet well-moisturised, volumnized, beautifully bleached hair. Hahax! =p~

But of course, I still maintain my hair by doing the neccessary shampooing, conditioning, hair-masking, hair seruming, hair drying DAILY so I won't have crispy fried hair on the next day.

And with that, the Q&A session is over~ Everyone packing up to go for their ice-cream eating =p~

Do I look like a VAMPIRE to you? Hahhax.. I'm wearing a Pink I.Fairy Lens! Beside me is Felicia and Tiffany! ^^
My hair isn't WEATHER Proof! See the frizz? kekex.. I admit, I was lazy, I didn't apply serum on my hair before i went out! =p~

Polaroid: 3 of Us using the given props! =D I like japanese fan~ *cosplay face*

The Ultimate Hair Monster Duo! lolx.. That's Shawn and me! (Seriously, anyone thinks Shawn look like NONO? kekex..)

Shawn showing me his purplish-maroon-pink hair! Super striking colour! Me love~ Wonder how it'll look on me if I were to have blonde with purple hair ends.. Probably, I'll end up with alot of split ends i think. kekex..

And now, meet the expert: TEDDY CHARLES

I was given a full set of Sunsilk Co-creations Weather Defense range products:
- Sunsilk weather defense Shampoo $10.90 (700ml) / $6.70 (350ml)
- Sunsilk weather defense Nourishing Conditioner $6.70 (350ml)
- Sunsilk weather defense Shield & Frizz Control Light Cream $6.90 (120ml)
- Sunsilk weather defense Shield & Shine Serum $8.25 (40ml)

Sunsilk weather defense Shampoo & Sunsilk weather defense Nourishing Conditioner

Sunsilk weather defense Shield & Shine Serum

Sunsilk weather defense Shield & Frizz Control Light Cream

During my daily hairwash routine, I :
- Wet my hair and run it through water thoroughly (to remove the dust and dirt from hair first)
- Use Sunsilk Weather Defense Hair Nourishing Conditioner on my hair ends, then wash off after a minute or 2.
- Use Sunsilk Weather Defense Hair Shampoo on scalp and lather without spreading it to the hair ends (so the ends will still remain nourished by the conditioner)
- Wash off the shampoo
- I usually would choose to use the conditioner (Alternatively, hair mask from other brands) again on hair ends, because I find that the shampoo sometimes washed off the silky smooth feeling that was left on by the conditioner during the first round of conditioning. If you think your hair is not feeling dry after the shampoo step, you can skip this last step.
- Then, comes the haircare time! (refer below)

Here is a video I did using Sunsilk Weather Defense Shield & Frizz Control Light Cream vs Shield & Shine Serum.
Its more like a tutorial or my own step by step hair caring routine, rather than a review of the 2 haircare products. ^^"
Its a 3mins 47secs video, includes some slow-mo and fast-motion parts. lolx..
Watch this video if you:
- Have very / super dry hair with or w/o oily scalp
- Have frizzy hair
- Want to know how & when to apply hair lotion/cream/serum
- Want to know how & when to blow dry your hair
- Wants to know some little tips in making your hair less frizzy, smoother, and volumnize/fluffy hair
*Note: I am an anti-rebond hair person! I dun like straight limpy/rebond hair! lolx.. So dun ask me how to acheive straight rebonded-like hair! >,< I want volume volume volume hair!! FTW~ XD

Pictures taken after the video-ing...
Both sides appear to be almost the same..lolx~ That's because I Hair mask my hair weekly, and its already well nourished.. kekex..

Review of Shampoo & Conditioner:
I like both of them as the shampoo didn't make my scalp itch nor does it makes it feel oily. Even though I have very dry bleached & dyed hair, my scalp is still the oily type and it would itch if I use any shampoo that is too rich for it.
The conditioner however could not provide my hair the right moisturise level, I would still require hair mask roughly 2-3 times a week to make my hair feel smooth and tangle-free. I feel that it could however, provide the right nourishment for those with only slight bleached/dyed hair. Nevertheless, I love the smooth silky feel that this conditioner gives my hair.

Review of Serum & Light Cream:
Serum is rich and its superb for dry hair like mine. As mentioned, I have oily scalp so this serum cannot go anywhere nearer than 5cm from my scalp otherwise it will somehow spread towards my scalp making it oily greasy and then, itch. :\ That, or my whole head will look greasy, and hair will go limp.
Roughly about total of 5 pumps is more than enough for the whole head (exclude roots/scalp area of course!)
Light Cream is really light and when I apply on my hair, it absorb so fast that I hardly got time to spread it out. Therefore in the video, you see me putting on 3 applications of Light Cream.
I actually like both Serum & Light Cream for they have their own pros and cons. Serum makes my hair turn oily quickly if I wear it whole day with sweating, etc.. but its easier to apply on and it immediately makes your hair smooth and silky.
Light Cream doesn't make my hair turn oily, moisturises well but only thing is that I have to apply ALOT more than the serum, which requires a longer time during application.
Last question: Frizzy or not? I would say it requiresh air mask to make it work better. I cannot depend solely just on conditioner and serum/ light cream to achieve non-frizz hair. Cos my whole head might be looking oily and still frizz at the ends! Get it? ;)

LOTD: KPop Wannabe ~ July - Aug Hauls (Topshop, Sleek, Canmake, La Roche-Posay, Vichy...)

HAPPY (belated) NATIONAL DAY!!! ~*~*~*~*\(^.^)/*~*~*~*~

Finally today, I got to do a LOTD (got some spare time after I return home from my early morning work). The idea came to me when I was taking a photo of my current hair colour. My brown dyed hair got so washed out that my colleagues said I look like a girl with old lady hair. Lolx.. I'mma 白发魔女-White hair demon queen. kekekx~ But I prefer to say myself as a 银发巫女-Silver hair witch girl! Got it? miwitch, so I'm a witch! *lame* =p~

Anyhoo, here's a closeup pic of my LOTD. But of course, I do not own a flawless face. I purposely blurred this pic so it won't scare you. Lolx..
I also bring up the contrast and brightness as it was taken in evening where the sun is almost down, and all my pics appeared rather dark. However, I did not PS my hair colour, it was like this when I took it. ^^ Doesn't it look like as if I'm wearing a whitish-silver wig? hehehx..~ Gosh, seeing this, makes me miss cosplaying so much~ T^T"

Enjoy the rest of the pics! ^.^v~

My current hair colour.. My face look pale if I don't put any eyeliner/blush/lippy..

My theme today is "KPOP WANNABE" (kinda like, 4 Minute/ 2NE1?? ^^")
The look's not inspired by any Kpop artistes' individual makeup but inspired by staring at my Carribean Sleek palatte! lolx~
Its been ages since I use bright colours on LOTD and my skills went down the drain as well cos I hadn't been doing alot of eye MU. I only went out once in a blue moon with friends but always ends up with very simple or disastrous eye MU =_="

Brief description of how I do my KPOP WANNABE LOTD:
1. Put eyeshadow highlights below eyebrow, inner corner of eyes, under eye area(near cheek bones) & tip of nose
2. Roughly putting up all the colours I want on my lid, trying to balance both shapes first
3. Add in darker shade of eyeshadow at creaseline (stops half way)
4. Start blending the e/s colours, and add in more layers of e/s when need be
5. Put on false upper eyelashes, then line along tip of lashes thickly and fill up tightline with black eyeliner
6. Draw outer waterline with black eyeliner and then, inner waterline with bright silver liner
7. Put on flase lower eyelashes
8. Add in e/s colours underneath lower lashes to complete the look

I loves drawing black eyeliner around my eyes~ ^_^ It makes my eyes look big & dolly and my whites look whiter!
Below, I find my inner waterline TOO SHINY..

So I went to overlay the silver with a thin black liner. Hmm.... *So which one looks better??? Above pic or below pic?*
An amateur artist at work.. Lolx~ Realise I always have difficulty in balancing the 2 sides and in drawing at creaselines. Blame it on my imbalance double eyelids and eyebrow? BLAH~ But nvm, I have my bangs to hide them. (Play cheat!) hehehx~ But anyways, I promise to keep practising whenever I have time!

KPOP WANNABE Camwhoreeeeeeeeeeeee~~~ Now you can see my pores, cos the pics are not PSed. (O_O")

2nd signature pose founded (besides the bent twees) = GRABS OWN HAIR
--After grabbing hair, I become..---> the VKEI (Visual Kei) WANNABE.. muahahax~

From front, my hair might seem nice & fluffy, but from side view, its rather flat.. I have too little hair! =_=

UNIQLO Uniqlooks Contest: Check me out on 联合早报 (LianHe ZaoBao)~ ^__^v~

Today, you took out your morning Chinese Newspaper - LianHe Zaobao, do you see something very Yellowish on the front page????
Yap, THAT's ME Alright! hhahx~

I got a SMS from my schoolmate (Thanks Yisun! ^^) to inform me that she saw my pic on the front page, I was like Huh? For wat? What did I do?!
Then I saw a FB post by Linda (Thanks for taking this big head pic~hahax..) and I saw my big face. I was like OMG front?! Not that I want to be haolian- proud ...ok, NOW i'm proud =p~ Because its my FIRST TIME to have my face on front page ok! >_<
Then the first thing that comes to my mind is: I cannot go opposite coffeeshop already!! They all can recognise me! I'm the so far most yellow headed gal in Punggol ah~ ~_~" *paiseh* (Proud & paiseh, confused feelings..)

But now sad thing is that, I DO NOT HAVE THE NEWSPAPER!!!(*%@_%(@_#$ It was sold out by the time I ask my helper to get it from the coffee shop.. Zzz..
Anyhoo, I'm glad at least to know that my workplace has the newspaper and I get to keep that (although its been used many times by public). hahax..

This is what Linda (*muacks for taking such clear pic of it!*) took and posted in my FB. I heart this pic cos my makeup shows up very nice and clear and the strong colours like yellow, purple (specs), blue shows up nicely too!
After which, Amber replied: And your 早报 photo hoh... Waaah!! The “没得到”... Very inauspicious leh... 没得到什么!?
I said the
“没得到” is about another article! (I think..) kekex..
Then she said: Ooooh!!! Okok! I was like... What 没得到!?太过分了!没得到也不用登得那么大吧!hehehe!
I LOLed! Super cheeky Amber. XD~

miwitch's Journey of Kpop to the West ~ HOTD by Goldwell Singapore

I went on 4 June for Kpop Heal the World concert.
Here's my LOTD. With  I.Fairy contact lens in Ash Grey.

Here's my OOTD
Inner neon orange racer back: Hong Kong
Starry outer tee: Hong Kong
Tie-dye denim shorts: Topshop
Navy-Black leggings: Hong Kong
MAD High-top shoes: GMarket
Various large Bangles: GMarket

Phototaking wasn't allowed during the concert and all the pics were too blur which I took with my iPhone. Hence here, I'm posting MBlaq in Singapore ??? Hotel? hahax.. (Found this in one of their twitter, i think was posted by GO.)
Look at Lee joon, he looked like ghost. hahhax~ And Mir? (NO MAKEUP NO MAKEUP!~ Lolx~ Forever won't forget this phrase he said. kekex~)

And first week of June, I'm in this hair colour.
MOODY~ ZZzzz~~

The 2nd week of June, I went to a hair colour afternoon workshop "Magic colors with Rene Janssens" together with Ah Ru, Na and Ariya.
And then, my hair transformed into THIS!~  YESH! I'm blonde now! ^_^

I wasn't really expecting to lighten my hair colour to this level, I was thinking to have my hair be just slightly yellow-er than my previous orange hair. But then, due to someone who drew a skullhead onto my hair profile paper wanting it to turn white, so my hair was bleached at almost maximum power. IT HURTS AND ITCH MY SCALP SHO MUCH CAN!! (Wans pretty, dun want life. Haix~)
After washing off the bleach, a light purple colourant was put on. But the purple was too light to be noticable unless there is white light and you look at it  close up. (like shown above)

At the workshop, Ah ru dying her hair red. Na dying her hair brownish-red, and behind me is Ariya (Na's sis) in red...marron? hahax.. I can't make out the colour..

Check out Ah ru's super hot red hair! Woohoo! I love it to bits at that split second when they took off the towel from her hair! It was like Magic! Hahhaax~
I'm the first to finish! (Cos I need to rush off early~ *runs*)

 

 

 

At home nothing to do, playing around with props and my new bleached hair~ Kekekex..

Makeup used:
L'Oreal Paris HIP Color Chrome Eyeliner in Violet Volt
L'Oreal Paris HIP Brigh Shadow Duo in Flamboyant
OCC Lip Tar in Trollop
Canmake Cheek & Cheek Blush in #02

The Loli style:

Neko Mimi & Cutezy Pink Ribbon.
After I took off the ribbon, my hair was in a mess and they are very dry... hahax~

English Ribbon style & Classic side swept behind ears look. (Infact, I do not like to put hair behind ears. It will give the hair a permanent wave or 'S' shape at the sides. I also do not like to show too much of my face and forehead! Maybe I should get a black plastic bag and covers my whole head. HA!~)
Playing with hair pins~

And lastly, the SUA KU (Mountain Tortoise) Duo: "HUUUUUUUHHHHhhhh?? What dat?" *Pouts at cam*

P/S: Journey of Kpop to the West - The 'West' meaning my hair went 'western' Hhahax~ =p~

P.P/S: If any of you willing to sacrifice your hair for such hair dye/ hair cutting workshops, comment or PM me! I'll take note of it, and should there be any in future, I'll find you guys! ^_^ Males acceptable too~

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

Product names written and coloured in turquoise were given by its company to me for trial.
