Shiseido Luminoforce for Colored and Damaged Hair

Hair Treatment Review

FYI, I have dyed my hair into black recently after trying all sorts of YOLO color for the past few years. I bet you can imagine how catastrophe my hair was. In addition, I don't spend money visiting hair salon to trim my hair or even having some sort of hair treatment. I have my self-hair treatment at home LOL.

Whenever I glide my fingers along my hair and I can feel my hair. They are TANGLED and FRIZZY at the end. A lots of baby hair, I guess they aren't the new grown hair but SPLIT hair.

All these terrible circumstances troubled me until I've come across and discovered Shiseido Luminoforce range. I was so glad to be invited to explore the Luminoforce range which will be soon launching in May at Label S Signature, Oasis Square, Ara Damansara.

It was my very first time been to Label S and I was totally in love with their interior design that gave me a grand and luxurious feeling. By the doorstep, it has the repetition square windows which imitated much of the Bauhaus architecture concept. In the Salon, there were long coach and soft pillows, with fluffy carpet beneath, at the spacious waiting zone. Overall interior were spacious and comfy. 

I have a great time at Label S with Edmand, Alison and of course Shiseido Luminoforce!
Here's the significant result after getting my hair done with full Luminoforce range from shampooing, treatment and the spray!
Less dull, less dry and less frizzy!
I am so pleased with my healthy hair now.  
Healthy - Gloss - Moisture - Smooth.
Some of the shampoo with moisture effect may causing the hair scalp turn out oily at the end. I am those kind of lazy girls who only wash my hair once in two days. TO SAVE SHAMPOO. LOL. That isn't the reason haha. It's because I have super thick hair and I always back from school super late, it took quite some time for me to blow dry my hair.
I am so glad that Luminoforce doesn't trouble me with this 'moisture/ oily' effect. It feeds my hair and scalp with adequate moisture and keeping it silky smooth. My hair is easy to comb and it is free from any tangled.




Shiseido Luminoforce

My thoughts:

Pros:
- FYI, most of the curling tong out there are made of steel or sort of plated iron. Just imagine, heating some sort of iron above 100°C and your hair is placed above. THAT'S HURT RIGHT?! But now, we have PHILIPS Easy Natural Curler that's coated with ceramic that definitely lessen the damage to your hair. We love our hair and for sure we wouldn't wanna spend extra more money on hair treatment.
- It's real light and small in shape! I will definitely carrying it with me during travel.
- The curls created are really soft and natural.

Cons:
- The curls don't last long, unless with the application of hair products like mousse.
- The heating plates are way too short. The space between the top/bottom plates are way too squeeze. The thickness of hair is limited and it's time consuming if we are going for full hair curl.

I would rate it 4/5. Because of it's conveniences! Highly recommend for travelers who would love to have their hair tips curl a little.

Natural Loose Hair Curl by VS Sassoon iPink Hair Setter

Hello all! So, here's the second part for Presentation MakeUp Look, the hairdo!
Instead of hair curling tong, the ordinary hair roller, have you ever heard of the heating rollers??
I guess most of the girls out there prefer some soft hair curls which are much natural and light, some of the girls may find that using the hair curling tong is kinda troublesome to get their hair done, it's hard to manage the hand position and even controlling the tong. It's quite confusing though, like creating the inner cute curl or the outer sexy curl.

But, we have our rescuer here!



VS Sassoon iPink Instant Studio Professional Hair Setter
Manufacturer : Conair Far East LTD, Hong Kong

Model: VS3038PIH

Product details:
Design (outer):  slight oval black case with a transparent cover.

Size: Estimation of 17cm x 15cm

Features:
  • 5 wire clips (securing purpose)
  • 5 super clips (securing purpose)
  • 5 rollers (38mm, flocked surfaces to grip the hair)

Direction to use:
  • Plug in the hair setter on a suitable main socket.
  • Turn on the 'I' and close the cover.
  • Wait around 10 minutes for the rollers to heat up.
  • The rollers are ready to use when the RED dot turn WHITE.
  • Turn off the appliance 'O' after usage and unplug it. 
  • Make sure it's completely cool. 

Price: MYR 255

Availability: HiShop

My thoughts 
Pros:
  • After setting the rollers on my hair, it took me only 5 minutes to get the loose wavy curl. If you wanna get a much stronger wave, just make sure the hair setters are on you hair for around 10-15 minutes, by the time you can just get your make up done! 
  • It's easy, convenient and fast! Absolutely a great tool for in-house styling!
  • It isn't too heaty when touching the hair rollers on the flocked surfaces.
  • The hair waves are natural and wavy, of course much bouncy and voluminous.

Cons:
  • The curls don't last, but I'm sure using the hair products like hair fixing spray, can make the curls last longer.
  • I have thick long hair, I found it hard for me to fully curl the whole head with only 5 rollers. I have to stuck and roll a thick section of my hair on each roller. Of course with such thick hair on a tiny hair roller, the curls aren't that even, definitely not long lasting.

(pc to google)
*Highly recommend for those who have thin hair, even shoulder length or short hair. You can just curl the end of your hair easily!

參加新秀大賽 之 厚臉皮

昨天, 逛逛下臉書,再逛下新秀大賽的专页,發現了一個 長得超像我的女生。她是參賽者之一。因爲長得太像我了,也給了個讚她。


對啦對啦。好像是我!

是我啦!
我又不知羞恥的參加了。算算下, 是第三年參加了。雖然不知道這次會不會入圍。但也嘗試了。
 弟弟問我說:‘你哪兒來的勇氣參加啊?都衰過一次了。’ 想想,也真是臉皮厚到子彈也射不過。

也許那時的想法是,因爲自己還年輕,我不想直到我老時,才迴想那空白的回憶,沒有任何值得回味的往事。那是多麽的無趣啊。年紀輕輕的你,怎麽沒有過年少輕狂的時候呢?那麽的瘋狂,那麽的無顧慮的,那麽衝動的,做一件自己喜歡的事呢?

這次也不知道會不會晉級呢。失敗了就再試過咯!有什麽可笑的。又不會痛,或少根毛。 

我在你眼中也許是那麽的可笑,‘這傢伙要參加多少次啊?怎麽輸掉了還來?’

在你那麽想我時,想想,你比我有勇氣追求自己喜歡做的東西嗎?我即使失敗了,也再挑戰自我。而你呢?卻坐在那兒,嘲笑別人,諷刺別人。那你繼續看著自己的白紙,無目的無趣的過生活。真為你感嘆!過著機器人般重復又重復的日子,讀書,做工,卻不敢嘗試一下,為自己的生活增添點樂趣,衝勁。

爲什麽不換個想法呢?那也許是种勇氣。愛迪生是了多少次,失敗了多少次,才有今天的燈泡呢。
