SH-RD Protein Hair Cream

May 17, 2016 0 Comments


I was introduced to this hair care brand by my hairstylist when I was over at the saloon - The Hair Styler to get my ends trimmed. I was telling her how my hair have become so dry and frizzy over the years, and the fact of using heated hairstyling tools and sometimes ignoring the step of applying a heat protector before styling. She then recommended, I try out SH-RD Protein Hair Cream. It is a Taiwanese hair care line that had been launched for sometime now and have users of the product seeing some positive results. Enriched with herbal Rosemary and multi-vitamins, it addresses hair that has been damaged, dry, frizzy, excessive use of chemicals etc. by restoring lifeless hair back to health.  I have not seen it being sold widely at any departmental stores, and bought mine directly from the saloon.
Since using it for more then three months, I have noticed a difference, my hair is no longer as frizzy and drying as I had before and now feels soft and manageable.  So how did I use this cream?  Well, I apply a tiny amount of the product onto my hair before using any heated hairstyling tools, it acts as a heat protector and then apply another tiny amount when I am done styling to lock in the heat, making hair stay soft and shiny. Not to mention it does  give a nice smelling scent too. I also use this cream to untangle my damp hair, it manages running a comb through my hair much easier. Would I recommend? Definitely, like how it has made me notice the difference in my hair, it could do the same for your's too..

Sally Hansen - Vitamine E Nail & Cuticle Oil

March 06, 2016 0 Comments




Who doesn't love painting your nails and giving them a pop of colour once every month. Well I do, and just last month, I decided to get a gel manicure and pedicure done for the first time. I enjoyed the fact that gel manicures do last for 3 weeks to a month, however  I disliked every bit of the removal process done on my nails. My nails became so brittle, dry and broke easily. It did bothered me and knew I should get something done.  Sticking to the brand that I knew best and having heard positive reviews, I had to try out the 
Sally Hansen - Vitamin E Nail & Cuticle Oil.

This product helps strengthen and nourish nails and cuticle. With its built into cap brush applicator, it is very simple and hassle free to apply. Massage the oil well onto the nails for about 5-mins and wash it off before applying any nail polish. If your not applying any nail polish, you can leave on your nails bare or use a hand cream to seal in the smoothness of the oil. I like to use the oil every night before bed and have been doing so for almost a week now and have seen a difference.  My nails are no longer brittle, dry or breaks easily and they look strong and healthy as ever. 

There anything to dislike about this product when it has already given results and would recommend anyone with the same issue to try it out.

NXY Conceal Correct Contour Palette in Medium - 3CP02

February 26, 2016 4 Comments
When it comes to under eye coverage, I usually leave that section out of my makeup routine because I feel that I do not need to conceal them fully with another product apart from my foundation, and not that I do not have any dark circles but because they were always covered by my glasses most everyday except on days when I am wearing my contact lenses that I notice the difference between a concealed under eye area gives to my entire face or makeup look.

Sometimes the conceals I have work well for a few good hours , until I notice my dark patches bopping up and would need a touch up. Having learned recently that a colour corrector could help fix this completely, I headed to Sephora in search of a colour corrector, only to be introduced by a makeup assistant at the NXY brand section on this NXY Conceal Correct Contour Palette in Medium - 3CP02. I was not sure if those colour correctors he chose would work on my medium darkbrown skin tone but after he tried them out on my under eyes before I went ahead to purchase, the colours actually suited and the finish was amazing. 

I have been using the conceal and my views on this palette is that all six shades are brilliant,  does not crease or transfer, creamy textured even though blending might be a little tough, so I suggest using your finger instead of a conceal brush.  The product does last for a good  8 to 10 hours without a need to re-touch. Overall, Í am pretty satisfied with this palette.

Valentine's Day Heart Nails

February 12, 2016 0 Comments


 
Painting your nails in a  same colour would be the easiest thing to pull off at any day of the year, but why not jazz up your nails with a little bit of love this Valentine's Day and I have an easy tutorial just for you. To achieve the design you will only need the following:
❤ Two nail colours of your choice
❤ A dotting tool
❤ Top coat
Last get started:
1) Paint your nails with the desired colour chosen. I'm using (Lady in Red by Rubi) as my base colour.
2) Once the polish is dry, dip the dotting tool  into the second colour (Baby Mint by The Face Shop) & create three small dots in the shape of a 'V'.
3) Fill in the 'V' which will then form the shape of a heart. 
4) Lastly secure the design with a top coat.
I hope you had fun trying out this design as much as I did.  Leave a comment below,  if you did try out this design. Till my next post....

Happy Valentine's Day

What's In My Work Bag

January 11, 2016 0 Comments





I was clearing out my work bag and I thought why not I share a little glimpse on the things I carry in my bag.  I used to carry a handy big bag where I could stuff almost anything, but since I have gotten this bag from my brother, who picked up for me while holidaying in Thailand. 
I actually love it. Its a simple black velvet material bag, and I like how it perfectly matches with any outfit. The strap is adjustable which allows me to sling it across. Space wise is very limited, nevertheless I can still carry my important items without a fuss cause of it size and junk items somehow still find its place inside the bag too.

Tea Tree Oil & Tea Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion.

December 21, 2015 1 Comments






I have been dealing with mild acne problems on my cheek area for a long time. The worst times my acne would act up has to be during the "time of the month". I have tried so many products including creams recommended by my doctors hoping for a positive outcome but none have worked its magic on me.  I did hear about The Body Shop's tea tree range for problem skin, but I never went on trying any of it, until one day I decided to walk in to store to find out more about the range, since I have read and hear positive reviews about it, that I came out of the store buying  two products as my try out  -  Tea Tree Oil & Tea Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion. 
It says that the tea tree blemish fade night lotion helps improve the appearance of blemish-damaged skin and I have to say it did work its magic on my face (by far my favourite product).  I did see a difference after a week of using the lotion. The lotion is very light on the skin and doesn't leave my face feeling oily or sticky in the morning.
As for the tea tree oil, I had a 50/50 satisfaction with the product. When I first applied it on my face it sting a little, as I begin to apply it regularly on my face, I noticed on some days my acne would reduce and on some days new ones would starts popping out.  I stopped using it for sometime now, and have noticed that I don't have any new pimples forming, even though I am still using the blemish fade night lotion. I am not sure what might be the cause for me to experience that or probably my skin is too sensitive.
Eventhough the product was suppose to be suitable for all skin types, guess it wasn't for me. Apart from that, I did came out loving one of the purchases I bought, so its a fair chance.
