PRETTIA bubble hair dye Honey Brown Review

Hello~minna! Time for another review! This time I'll be making a review on Liese Prettia Hair dye in Honey beige! I'll be moving back to the US soon so I need to find a way so I will not spend hundreds of dollars for hair color in the salon or whatever amount. >_< So I decided to find a hair dye that would cover my roots and can be ordered online or found in an asian store. I heard good reviews of Prettia so I decided to give it a go! (plus they said it's easy to use)

 The Packaging is sooo cute and the model is very pretty! The only thing I dont like is everything is in Japanese. I'm currently studying japanese but I only know a few characters so I had to research the instructions online.  
(●￣(ｴ)￣●) Price is: 750 but if you buy it dirrect it's much cheaper

The instructions aren't that hard to understand even if you can't read japanese but just to make sure you need to do some research! Lucky for you I'll post the instructions here! o(≧∇≦o)

This is how my hair looks before applying the Hair dye.. eeewww I have ugly roots!! 
 〜(￣△￣〜) (〜￣△￣)〜 

This is how it looks like when you fill your whole head with foam! It was super easy to apply!! You don't need anyone to help you! YEAY!  (REMEMBER!! don't shake the solution! only turn it over 5 times to mix it!!) It smells like ordinary cheap hairdye. The smell is overpowering and it will not go away with your first wash! It's a good thing the Dye came with a treatment so the smell diminished A LITTLE. >_<

I left it on my head for about 40 minutes.. the box says 20-30 but I left it on a little bit longer....

So this is the finished result!!! Tada!!!  (o´ω`o)ﾉ
IT covered my roots soooo well! Despite how light my hair was and how dark my roots were... MIRACLE!!! :D

What made it even more amazing is I didn't spend time covering my roots first.. waiting.. before covering my whole head with the dye... I directly applied it on my whole head! Of corse it's not 100% even but It's pretty good if you're living alone and don't want to spend a lot of money on a professional hair dresser! :D (✿ ♥‿♥)

Finally I got to post another review after so many months! (*￣Ｏ￣)ノ 

So! Here it is!! My new blog entry! Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ

Beauty Formula's Anti wrinkle Eye Gel Patches!!! Tada!!!!

I noticed that my eyes looked tired recently and it doesn't look good. I started to get wrinkles and dark bags around my eyes so I needed to find an eye cream or an eye product ASAP! So I went to Watsons and found this baby!!  It was very cheap I think it costs around
  php 51 ( $1.25) for a pack of 3 eye patches ♡ ～(^з^)-☆

CLAIMS:
~ reduce appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
~ INSTANT and continuous penetration and effect
~ softens and smooths skin

Directions for use:
Wash and dry your face. Open the sachet and peel off the plastic liner. Apply the patch with the shiny side to the under eye area . Wear the patches for 30 minutes or while you sleep but not more than 12 hours. carefully remove the patches peeling slowly from the edge. DO NOT REUSE

Each box comes with 3 patches!  So its 17 php for each patch! GOOD DEAL!!  ♥♥♥♥♥♥

This is what the patches look like when you open them!!! It has two sides one cloth like side and the other is the gel type smushy side.. >_< the smushy side is sticking to a clear plastic film ^_^. 

This is how it's suposed to look like when you apply them to your eye bags!! ~  ヽ(。_°)ノ
Looks kin of weird! and it feels weird too.. it smells sort of like glue . HAHAHA

I left this on for 30 minutes. after 5 minutes if had this cool menthol feeling. But after  a while it felt uncomfortable so I took them off.. The box says you can leave it as long as you want as long as it doesn't go over 12 hours. >_<  I'll try again next time. I don't know if I was inpatient or my skin felt irritated and itchy but I'll give it another go next time.. maybe sometime this week.

all in all.. it did reduce the lines.. pretty good for my first try .

Pond's flawless white

I've been using Pond's products ever since I started living in the Philippines back in 2002 because i had massive breakouts on my forehead. It took away all my blemishes in less than a month. :) That was way back during 6th grade. :) I stopped using ponds during college 2007 because I wanted to try new things that would work for me. I tried clean and clear, olay, loreal than I decided to give ponds another try since I havent used it in a while.

I found this product of Pond's after using my usual ponds products. Ponds flawless white. What caught my attention is its pink cap! its so cute.

This is what the back says. Description, instructions and ingredients. :) This product has a powdery floral smell which is pleasant. What i noticed after washing my face with this product is it feels smooth but it sorta dries out my skin and it caused me to break out. >.< I have no idea why.

This is how it looks like there are also small pink beads but aren't noticeable in this photo.

As for whitening. It didn't whiten my face after 3 weeks of using this. I see no difference. Besides the breakouts and dry skin.. :(


Rating: ★★✰✰✰ (2/3)

Pros:

• affordable less than 100 pesos
• cute packaging
• smells good

Cons:

• Dried my skin
• caused breakouts
• did not whiten my skin                

Will I purchase this item again?

No.

Mane 'n Tail and body shampoo

Last January 28 I had my haircut done at going straight at SM sta. Mesa. I gave them a photo that they should copy. I felt confident that they'd cut it right since the last time I had my hair cut was totally awesome! >.<  guess what! the guy cut way to much! yeah! it was still long but the hair near my neck was the only long part.. which was toooo little.. and most of my hair near the top of my head was trimmed leaving 2-3 inches of my hair remaining.. so my head looked big from my new haircut! but long because of the inner section was left long.. >.< AWEFULLLLLLL!!!!! the dresser didnt even ask and he lured me away from the mirror! +++ i had a photoshoot the next day! CURSESSSSS!! too late to change things now.. >.<

RIP to my long hair T__T

(right) me

i dont know the name of the cosplayer next to me. ~gomen >.<

Immediately after that incident T___T huhuhu i searched all over the net for tips to make my hair long again. I found one product called Mane n tail. Some people believe that this shampoo along with the conditioner helped them grow there hair faster. So?? I HAD TO GIVE IT A TRY *A*.. so i bought it at savemore mezza.. I bought the smallest one. + the sachet of conditioner. it costs around 100 for the small one :)

FRONT

 back

the first thing i noticed when i used the product is the smell. It smells pretty ordinary like any floral shampoo. The conditioner however smelt horrible ! like burnt tire! eeewwww.. the texture of the shampoo was more jelly like and it has a silver hue to it. :) pretty the conditioner is yellow and when you apply it on your hair it doesnt feel like all your other conditioners that make your hair smooth as you wash it off... :p 

the shampoo was a bit drying but when you use it with another conditioner! It's ok but still a bit dry. As for length... my hair grew normally. it didnt grow faster.. :p and i started to have dandruff because of this! >.< which is a nono for me.. 

This product all in all was a failure. So i had my dad buy me hair vitamins called hairinfinity. I'll make a review for it in the future! :D

RATING:  ★✰✰✰✰ (1/5)

Pros: 

• affordable
• available anywhere  in the Philippines
• smell of the shampoo was nice

Cons:

• dries out hair
• smell of the shampoo was nice "but" you cant smell it on your hair once you wash it off
• gave me dandruff
• bottle is not attractive
• conditioner smelled!
• did not do anything when it comes to length
  

Will you purchase this again in the future?

No! 




Has anyone here had problems with there haircut? Had a horrible hair cut and wanted it to grow long FAST! what products did you use? what worked? please comment bellow... :)

Dove Damge Therapy (heat Defense)

My hair is naturally frizzy and wavy as seen at the photo bellow. so i need to flatiron my hair when i want it straight. We all know that flat ironing is extremely bad for your hair and damages your hair to the highest level >.< but we still do it. That's why it's a nono to flatiron your hair when you don't apply HEAT PROTECTANT.

So i bought this heat protectant when my father bought me this awesome GHD straightener!
