Quick Japan Loot (July 2011) Review
It’s been almost 6 months since I came back from Hokkaido/Tokyo in July 2011, so this is really overdue PLUS I’ve reviewed quite a fair bit of the stuff I’ve used, so here goes: FANCL HTC COLLAGEN TABLETS Don’t really need to explain why I bought it – the bottled ones are TOO HEAVY to carry back! So this became the best buy from JP whenever I’m there – at 1500+JPY per packet it’s much cheaper than SG’s (I can’t even remember how much!) FUJIFILM INSTAX FILMS Just because it’s made in Japan, DOESN’T mean its ALWAYS cheaper! The first time I bought instax films from Japan, the exchange rate was 13. something. Now it’s…
Dreaming of Rainbow Hair
A girl can only dream… (all images below found from tumblr; tagged manic panic) Well I decided to order more tubs of Manic Panic Amplified! It’s the brand of dye I used for my purple, blue, red hair. I love it cos I can just apply it myself (given that my hair is black and it only colors the portions which are bleached – that’s fairly simple) But now that my whole head is considerably light. I’d better head back to the salon. This is what I wanna achieve for my next hair color… Basically, brown > turquoise > dark blue : D Pretty isnt it? But honestly, for asian hair to take this,…
Hairy Issues
Got my hair done about a month ago? Before my 2nd Tokyo trip this year. D: super backlogged right. By now the color disappear already! Thanks to Estrella, I realized there was an awesome hair reference website (kakimoto arms) and I showed my hairstylist this! “I want this color!” Apparently my stylist says doing my hair is stressful – I always have a certain color to match or something : x And more often than not I have to use more manpower for my hair (blowdry, dye…) : x Though I think that is the usual for a lot of people, to hasten the process lah. The end result. Yes, pink highlights! They…
Styled: Curls! And centre parting.
Went to WARS (far east plaza, level 2) for a hair wash + massage (shiokkkk) and decided to try out a style I spotted on Ayumi for her Virgin road PV in the latest issue of Vivi for the wedding photoshoot. Testing lah… My hair’s not long enough : ( She didn’t exactly pin the hair till it was like that cos backcombing was needed for the puff, but she positioned it in a few ways to show me the possible look. AHHHHHH NICE! the pic refuses to rotate. heck! I’ve always avoided centre parting since I was young, cos… my face not sharp enough or long enough la, i admit it, my…
Tsubaki Hair Care by Shiseido – Review
Shiseido Singapore recently brought in the made in Japan Tsubaki hair care range – a little late, but better than never – and it’s exclusively available at Watsons. They gave me both the white and red range to try : D ~ Thank you Stella and Shiseido SG! Tsubaki (TSOO-bah-kee) means Camellia in Japanese, and the red and white range of Tsubaki are made with ingredients from the red and white camellia respectively. Tsubaki has been formulated with High-Purity Tsubaki Oil EX to regain natural glow and help Asian women achieve shiny and healthy hair from roots to tips.

Essential – For the last 15cm of your hair!
Received a very generous hamper from Essentials and thesamplestore (previously fr3b.com) to pamper my hair with! The package was couriered to my doorstep, and this is what it contained! – All of Essentials Nuance Airy range – All of Essentials Rich Premier range Full range includes: The basics: Shampoo, Conditioner, Treatment Advanced treatment: Hair mask, *Hair Essence*! I don’t think Essentials’ hair products are anything new to all of you since they’ve been around for a while now and there was lotsa hype from our popular bloggers (fabulous marketing!), but let’s go through this again shall we~ (or you can skip to the middle/bottom for pics!) Briefly about Essentials’ Hair Products: Colouring, perming, rebonding, and…
I LOVE Blue and I want blue hair : (
I miss my hair in blue. These are some really nice and quite impossible combinations which I’d like to see on my head… But I’ll probably have no more hair left if i did it. I mean, like, Platinum BLONDE? Not possible for asian hair! : ( Really don’t feel like screwing with my hair since I spent so much on keeping it healthy. But it’s probably the only time my hair is so bleached! ARGHHHHH! (And hor, If i make it all blue, what color of eyebrows will go with blue hair?!?!) We just spotted a guy at Tampines Mall after our move who had blue-grey hair…
Haircut + EKS Hydro-Nutritive Vitamins Complex
Finally had my hair’s damaged ends trimmed off. The sheep needed to cut his hair at WARS (Far East Plaza), so I ended up having the best head massage ever and got it trimmed lah. Tadah~ She did a little end curl thingy for me. This is after 1 whole day… Was too sleepy the day before (after the heavenly head massage) to take pics. : x I’m wearing my uber comfy Superdry tee! Yang got it from UK. They have stores in SG as well, and they’re sold in both Tangs Vivo & Orchard. It looks Japanese, but it’s actually an UK brand. Thanks Love! And during SALT (movie – Angelina Jolie’s hot though…
Taking care of dry, bleached hair.
Dry, tangly hair. Well that’s the hair condition i deserved after throwing it to bleach and multiple dye jobs. My aunt was “screaming” that my hair was thinning – but of course lah, your bleach your hair sure thin one. It’s so chio now but so dry T_T…. Anyway i found it super hard to comb through when it’s trying to dry, and frizzy and tangly at hair ends. My roots are fine, the hair near my roots are still pretty healthy. BUT I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT LAH!! I cannot avoid combing my hair forever! (Come to think about it, I hardly comb my hair last time actually. I just run my…
New Hair: Ash Brown/Matte Green
After sitting in the salon for 6.5 hours, going through 2 rounds of bleaching and 3 hair washes, finally I got my hair brown! Love it. It’s even brighter now. And this is how much bleaching I have to do… I felt like Naruto. -_-” My hair is now really fragile, and I have to apply treatment everytime I wash my hair. Meh. Being a (vain) girl is so expensive!
New Hair Color
Well, I loved my blue hair, but only the dark color rather than the faded blue. It fades really fast. And it was time to get rid of the blue, as it was making me look old > : | Plus the mum (and April) was nagging at me to change color. I wanted to go back to japanese girl brown. BUT! Errr… Because my hair was bleached here and there…. it wasn’ easy to solve so things took a different turn after 3 stylists had a meeting behind my back. They decided on purple for the front, i insisted on brown for the middle and we settled for red at the back *heh* Couldn’t…
