[Review & Result] Boots Expert Hair Lightener

- Boots Expert Hair Lightener -

Actual product DOES NOT contain the Jar & the spoon next to it.
The product comes with 'Accelerator', 'Bleaching Cream' and 'Flat S Spoon'
The jar & the narrower spoon are actually from VEET product.

Anyway.

Step 1. Pour out 1:1 of 'Accelerator Cream' and 'Bleaching'.

This amount is enough for entire face /or/ an arm.

Step 2. Mix it well.

Step 3. Gently apply a thin layer of the product over the area you want to lighten it.


- Result -

Before

After 5 Minute

You can wait up to 10 minute then it will completely lighten the hair.


★★★★★+✩

The Product works great on me!!
Did not experience skin irritant which is so great!!
Works for the face too but sometimes I get a bit of irritant/itchiness on my face.

"Creative Beadcraft" & "Alliumblue" - Intro

Jewellery Design is something I've been interested in for couple of years since I know couple of artists who were involved in Jewellery, Texture, Clothes, etc etc etc...

But, never thought I'd really design and make my own accessories because first, I don't know how to do it anyway, and second, I don't like normal cheap bead craft which look so cheaply handmade.

And I knew that to get high quality jewels and beads, it'll cost a lot of money.

BUT!

Since I've found SWARVOSKI CRYSTALLIZED where I can get high quality jewels/beads in affordable (few of course) level and I thought 'GREAT! now I need some other tools!'

... and I've found 'Creative Beadcraft' in London by the Carnaby Street!!!


I bought this Swarovski Crystals for make-ups (e.g. BoA 'Energetic' perhaps??) and they were £2 each (exc. VAT).

Not only they sell cheap looking beads, the part that I was the most interested in was that they sell tools, glue, thread, along with their some but few interesting quality beads/jewels.


So now I'm so excited to design my own jewels!!!

Okay... so I was looking at some Swarovski Components that are not available at the Crystallized™ London Store.

After couple of hours of researching, I've come across with the website 'Alliumblue'.

ALLIUMBLUE

- Swarovski® Crystallized™ Elements component distributor -

Allium Blue Production Studio is wholesale source for Crystallized™ Swarovski® Elements crystal components and other jewellery and fashion components.

They distribute to business all over the world.

I thought it was interesting. I checked the price and definitely NOT for individual personal purchases.

[My First Visit to...] SWAROVSKI CRYSTALLIZED™

Today, I went to SWAROVSKI CRYSTALLIZED™, and did buy couple of things. I also registered for the membership which was free.

Membership Card

Shopping Bag

It was pleasant experience at the shop. People were very nice and polite. I was a bit nervous (I mean the shop is luxurious) since it was my first time visit, but they explained how it works easily.

I did not go to the Lounge, thinking it is only for the VIP, which was not... It was for everyone.

I've met couple of Jewel Designers or Artist and overall the atmosphere was great.

Shopping Bag contents (inc. membership letter, card, etc)

Usually they give you a crystal gift when you became a member, but it was ran out so I did not get it... (Probably would ask for it next time or whatnot) X-P

Here are what I've bought.

French Ear Wire 25mm Gold (£1.40)

Crystal 17x8.5 (2 pieces = £11.70)

Hoop Earring 17mm Gold (£2.40)

Pinch Bail 5mm Gold (£3.40)

The packages are SUPER-AMAZING with FANTASTICAL QUALITY.

It's well-super-protected inside the box.

"WOW!!!" ... I said. You need to slide top and bottom holder to open it.

The crystals are held by elastic-stretchy-holder. AMAZING!!!!!

.. After 5 Minute ...

My First Self-Customized-Earring!!!

I used my hand and took me less than 5 minute to resemble.
Since I'm only a beginner, I thought I'd start with 'making pendant earring'. :-)

It cost me about £16 to make this SWAROVSKI Customized Earring.

Even the design is different, normally I'd pay £50-60 to buy very simple-looking earring at the SWAROVISKI shop/store.

Next time, I would need a proper ideas, preparation, planning, sketches and to be creative!!!

[SWATCHES] Mac 'Peaches' Blush ... and others...

I've been searching for the 'Peach' blushes for ages. A lot of peachy blushes on the market had pinkish under tone which I did not mind but I was looking for something with 'orange' or 'coral' undertone.

Why did I look further, when I'd find just the product in MAC.
