ASIENCE Leave-On Treatment Water : For Tangled and Untamed Hair

ASIENCE Leave-On Treatment Milk: For dry and frizzy hair

ASIENCE Leave-On Treatment Oil: For Severely Dry and Damaged Hair

Review: 

They are really my life saver. Why would I say that? Not only it serves as a treatment, it also helps me in my styling too! Here's why: 

Leave On Treatment Water: As it is really very lightweight, I usually use it on days where I just wish to stay at home or even when I'm out, as a finishing touch to the hair. It can helps to retain moisture, even in a humid weather like Singapore. 
   

Leave On Treatment Milk: This is my favorite of the lot~ I really used it for styling, especially so if I am tying a high pony tail! Before styling, I would usually pump a drop or two and apply it on my hair.

And after styling, I would brush on a little bit more, (if it is still fizzy) and it will make my hair instantly smooth and silky! Your fingers can run through it without any obstacles. I would specially recommend this on dates as it smells really nice without feeling oily, yet helps to make hair smooth and silky! ㅋㅋㅋ   

Leave On Treatment Oil: I usually use this on weekends, or whenever I let my hair down. A drop is enough for my split ends! My split ends instantly feels revived, but bare in mind though, not to apply too much! You wouldn't want to end up looking like you have not washed your hair for days! 하하하하!!!  

I would recommend this to those that is heavily bleached, or frequently dyeing your hair, like me, as you hair end tends to be the oldest, and weakest, and also, the most unhealthy looking of all.. This will help, really! :)

Photo Review:

Before: (After towel-dried)

Hair is tangled, in a messed and its rather difficult to brush through.

After: (With 3 pumps of Asience Leave-On Treatment Milk)

Way before I use the focus mode on my camera, you can already see how shiny and silky it is now. It is really quite easy to run my comb and fingers through the hair now! SO, imagine if I were to tie it up to a ponytail.... 

Retail Prices:

ASIENCE Leave-On Treatment range retails at $14.90 and is available from April’2013 at selected hypermarkets, supermarkets and pharmacies.

Happy Mother's Day and Glass Anatomy

To All The Mothers Out There:  

해피 어머니의 날! Happy Mother's Day to all the greatest mothers in the earth!

Whether you are a past, a present, or soon to be moms, may your day be filled with love, joy and laughter! 

To My Dearest 엄마,

Though you are not longer by my side, you will still be in my heart forever. You are the best 엄마 I ever had.. 엄마, 난 당신을 사랑합니다..  Life has never been perfect. It probably never will. But I will never ever lose hope, because I know I always have you to stand by me even if the whole world falls apart. I love you mother, so much more than you even know. Happy Mother’s day to you.

Headed over to watch Glass Anatomy The Musical last weekend, with courtesy from Confirm Trading. 

It is really a good show not to be missed. I really enjoyed watching the musical. What really impressed me is that although it is in Mandarin, but it does provides English Subtitles!

Here's the summary of the musical: 

Have you ever wondered where your childhood friends have gone? When has home turned so crowded and foreign?  Through these changing times and growing years, TOY FACTORY presents, . A masterpiece that has taken 12 years to produce and 3 years to gather the best creative talents and designers across China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Argentina and Singapore.  

 

Adapted from the Taiwan movie, “Papa, can you hear me sing?”, that took the entire Asia by storm and set the record for the highest number of nominations ever received at the 20th Golden Horse Awards. The essence of the movie is created by vocal powerhouse - Su Rei’s numerous classic hits such as , < The Same Moonlight>, and . Chart-topping Mandopop Queen, Ding Dang, will take on her first ever musical lead role and wow the audience with her powerful vocals.

Almost all the audiences, teared towards the ending of the musical. If you had ever watched the Taiwan Movie, "Papa, can you hear me sing?", you would actually know the story line, and for this Glass Anatomy, it is even more touching, and it really reminds me of my mother. So much of my mother. 

Well, I personally believe that it will be really great if it is aired on Father's Day, and especially if bring them to watch the musical, I'm pretty sure they would be touched, too! 

Once again, Happy Mother's Day! :)

Liese Bubble Hair Color Jewel Pink

I am pretty sure that almost all of you have heard and known of the brand Liese, especially to those that loves to dye their hair at home. How is it possible for anyone not familiar with this brand ! :) 

 

Hair coloring has been so much easier with the help of Liese Bubble Hair color that uses foam to dye hair. Its as easy as 3 steps: Dispense the foam, apply on hair and massage. No more troublesome sectioning of hair, especially when you are doing it yourself! The foam now do all the work for us, by reaching all over the head so that you can achieve beautiful, evenly colored hair easily!

 

Liese is known to have a wide variety of shades to cater different people and personalities. Here are their range of colors: 

 

The Color Chart:

   

And today, I am going to dye my hair with one of their new color, Jewel Pink! Jewel Pink - a shiny brown with a touch of pink 

 

Kit Found In The Box: 

   

Application:

 

Review Time: Before: (With Flash)

 Here's the video should you need more details: 

 

Leave on for 20-30 minutes.... 

   

 After: (With Flash) 

   

 After: (Natural Lighting) 

   

I am so impressed with their new formula! Though it says that a bottle is suitable for shoulder length hair, it actually works well for my waist-line hair! It is more than enough for my whole hair and the foam lathers well in my hair too! 

As you can see in the photos above that my hair color did change to a slightly brighter color instead of the light brown color. To be honest, I have used their bubble foam dye for quite a few times and I am really happy with the new formula that they had! 

It is now so much easier and time saving to have my hair dyed at home, (my favorite hairstylist has gone back to his country and not coming back for the time being.) and it does not tangles up my hair. Did I mention that the conditioner/lotion smells nice too? :)

[Advertorial Review] [OST] Original Pure Vitamin C-20 Serum

Do you know what is famous as "Red Bottle" in Korea? It hits on the Koreans' waves! Its the [OST] Original Pure Vitamin C-20 Serum!! Heard of it yet? *Winks* 

If you think that it is just a regular bottle of Vitamin C Serum, then you are so wrong! There is always a reason why it is so hot selling! Read on to find out more!

The Best Selling Item in QOO10!

About Product:

The best selling item of 2012 and the fastest effect with Vitamin C. Need to tone up loose skin for keeping youth.

- Includes pure Vitamin-C 20%
- Whitening /Recovering trouble scars
- Removing blackheads

Suitable for ALL SKIN TYPES!

Review:

How can I not get my hands on this highly raving product! With WishTrend, I can have the latest products on my hands and never missed out my favorite skincare and make up items! ㅋㅋㅋ

Here's the actual product:

It is freshly manufactured! See the date!

Inside the box, you will find a dropper separately from the bottle to remain the freshness and to prevent oxidation of the Vitamin C.

I fell in love with this serum the very first time I used it. It is currently in my favorite skin care list! It works really well for me, especially cause I do have sensitive skin!

Look at the color and the consistency of the serum!

To be honest, I do feel a mild stingy upon first application but it only lasts for a few times before my face got used to it and work wonders. It clears up my skin and even works much better on my breakout and it is usually smaller/shrink/gone after a night. 

It gives my face so much fairer and clearer and less skin troubles were observed for the past 2 weeks!

(After application)

It absorbs really fast on my skin and it smells pleasant too. I used it 2 times a day and results were seen. However, please do bear in mind to use a sunscreen after applying this serum during the day! I bet you do not wish to see adverse effect right? :)

As it is made of pure vitamin C, you are strongly advice to store the serum in the fridge and take out only when you need to use it. Leaving in the open air/normal room temperature will caused it to oxidase faster and effect might not be that great anymore.

As only a drop to two is needed every time, it should last about a month and a half if you use it twice daily. A strongly recommended product from me to people especially with sensitive skin/acne-prone skin. It should work wonders for you too! :)

*PS: My apology for the lack of photos in my review this time. My whole memory card was formatted and there goes all my hard work, and just when I was about to retake again, my eyes decided to disobey me and started having sty. Its so hard for me these few days to pry open my eyes. >.<

FAQ:

Retail And Pricing:

It is retailing at USD24.99 for a bottle of 30ml and is exclusively available at WishTrend!
