After giving my hair a rest and giving them loads of TLC for about a week, I decided to give the rose gold hair another go. I lightened my hair using Garnier Nutrisse Creme (100 Summer Blond Extra Light) in an attempt to remove the orange colour from my hair after that failed #pinkhair try last week. I discovered Directions hair dye after days of … Continue reading Summer Hair: Second Try
Expectation (what we’re sold on) VS Reality (results may vary) My experience using L’Oreal Colorista Washout #pinkhair The main selling point of L’Oreal Colorista Washout for me is that it’s a semi-permanent dye that’ll fade out after a few washes and it’s easy to use. You supposedly just squeeze out the product from the tube and apply it on your hair to create your desired … Continue reading Project Summer Hair Part 3 : Colouring my hair pink!
I used to equate bleaching with fried hair. The first time I had my hair bleached was last year for some highlights and it was done by a professional. Despite watching countless tutorials by professionals and amateurs in Youtube and knowing that the entire process isn’t that complicated, I never have the courage to do it myself. Of course I can just buy all the … Continue reading Project Summer Hair Part 2: At-home hair bleaching
So… now that we have full hot-ish, sunny days for almost one week in a row, I am convinced that summer is almost officially here. Finally. I’ve been thinking about having rose gold hair for almost a year now. But life often gets in the way and I have to postpone doing my hair. As stupid as it may sound, I was so desperate to … Continue reading Project Summer Hair Part 1: Hair Inspiration
The last Empties post I did was for the period of 6 months (September 2016-February 2017). There aren’t many pictures of the products I used up in this Empties because I threw some of them out during our process of moving back to Germany in the last few weeks of March. I do, however, keep a list of the products I used up and my … Continue reading Product Empties June 2017
Monday is for makeup or skin care related post. However, a girl is sick and bedbound and this is what she already has in her smartphone (blogging from my smartphone is awesome! Thank you, technology!) When it comes to hair, I’m one of those people prefer to keep the routine/hair care to the bare minimum. I wash my hair with a regular scalp-care shampoo (I … Continue reading HASK Argan Oil Repairing Shine Oil
RL de Young is the baby sister brand of Rival de Loop and are both brands from Rossmann, one of the largest drugstore chains in Germany. Up until a few weeks ago, I was not aware of the existence of these brands because I rarely shop in Rossmann (I’m a DM girl coz they carry NYX!!!). I’m currently in the market for a drugstore highlighter … Continue reading RL de Young Baked Highlighter 01 Moon Dust
Let me start by stating that I did not buy this foundation and this review is based on an experience of trying on this product in a Sephora outlet in Kuala Lumpur early last year. Yesterday, I came across some horrendous pictures of me trying out foundations and wanted to share my thoughts on this particular high-end foundation, which in my opinion, the worst high-end … Continue reading Marc Jacobs Beauty Re(marc)able Full Cover Foundation Concentrate
Recently I decided that I’d slowly replace the non cruelty-free brands that I use in my daily life to a safer, cruelty-free brands. This is not an easy change because most of my favourite makeup products are from non-cruelty-free companies or belong to parent companies which are not cruelty-free. When it comes to mascara, I already found my HG mascaras from both high-end and drugstore … Continue reading KIKO Cosmetics Extra Sculpt Mascara (Waterproof)
I’m one of those few people who never jumped on the intense highlighting craze. While it may look pretty on pictures, I don’t think it’ll work well on my textured skin. Plus, I’ve gotten to the age where I tend to go for the more ‘natural’ look on most days. I think makeup is all about personal preference. Some people like blinding strip of highlights … Continue reading Wet n Wild’s Coloricon Bronzer (Reserve Your Cabana)
