[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.

All About My Skin Care

I do not have such acne problems so I don't get spots that many. However, I do take care of skin in order to keep it young and fresh.

The thing is that my life isn't luxury enough to have proper skin care or to try many different products or expensive products.

Also, even though my skins are (in theory) dry to combination skin, my skin condition changes everyday depending on the Weather Condition , my Diet and Health Condition.

So I'm very much relying on the 'Inner' care rather than 'Outer' care.

HOWEVER!!

I do have weekly/monthly Cleansing Routine and I'd like to talk about my general Body & Face Skin Care products and steps.


1. Make-Up Removal

Step 1. Facial Cleansing Wipe (Dry to Sensitive Type)
- I use any drugstore products on sale.
- Wipe out visible make-ups on my face.

Step 2. Remove Waterproof mascara
- I use LANCOME 'Bi-Facil'
- Remove waterproof mascara or eyeliner with cotton 'tips' and cotton pads.

Step 3. Face (Deep) Cleanser
- I use CLARINS 'One-Step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser'
- Remove all the make-ups on my face.

Step 4. Moisturizing (Only when needed)
- I use CLARINS 'Renew-Plus Night Lotion'
- Moisturize dried skin after the cleansing and calms skin down over the night.

2. Daily Cleansing (without Make-Ups)

I just wash it with 'cold water'.

... unless I feel oily/greasy, then I use CLARINS 'One-Step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser' to clean my face and keep it fresh.

I wash my face in the morning and in the evening.
I do not use cleansing product unless I feel really oily/greasy.

3. Daily/Weekly 'Eye Care' (Under the eyes)

I use ESTEE LAUDER 'Advanced Night Repair'

I apply it 3-4 times a week at night before I go to sleep.

4. Moisturizing

I use CLARINS 'Energizing Morning Cream' in the morning and before I put make-ups.
I use CLARINS 'Renew-Plus Night Lotion' at night before I go to sleep.

I do not put any moisturizers unless my skin feels dry. (I use more product during the winter than the summer.)

5. Weekly Face Exfoliating

I use CLARINS 'Gentle Exfoliating Refiner'.

I use it once a week or two weeks depending on the condition of my skin.
I do not exfoliate frequently due to I have quite sensitive skin.

6. Lip Exfoliating

I use BENEFIT Lipscription 'Dr. Feelgood'.

Again, I only use it when my lips are chipped and pigmented. Use it one or twice a month.

7. Hair Lightener (Face & Body)

I use BOOTS 'Expert Hair Lightener'

Since my hair on my body and face are black/dark brown and very thick. I prefer to lighten or bleach my hair instead of shave. (I do shave my armpit, tho)

I do it whenever I feel I want to lighten my hair. Mostly once a month or two months.

Korean Color Circle Contact Lenses

I've been wearing contact lenses for about 6-8 years. Initially I started with normal non-coloured lenses and 1-2 years later, I started to wear colored/circled lenses.

All my lenses are Korean brands.

I usually purchase my lenses HERE. (It's Korean website only available in Korea/Korean with No International Shipping, so it'll be useless unless you're Korean living in Korea.)

Here are the list of the lenses I've used before.


☛ NeoVision 'Dali' - Brown

- Diameter: 14.0mm
- Moisture Content: 38%

- One of the most natural lenses for Asian eyes. Personally it was very comfortable without any problems.

☛ G&G 'BT' - Grey, Brown, Blue

- Diameter: 14.0mm
- Moisture Content: 38%

- Very natural 'colour' lenses. Grey was particularly my favourite. It gave me 'mysteriou sea green' color effect which was so unique and pretty. Brown and Blue will work for certain people, did not work for me for a everyday use. But beautiful lenses.

☛ Mi-Gwang 'Aryan 2 Tones' - Blue

- Diameter: 14.0mm

☛ T.Top 'Natural 2 Color' - Grey

- It is more natural than normal Circle Lenses. Gives nice natural gradient. Not for everyone I guess. Personally it was a bit uncomfortable and gave me hard time in the beginning. But it was beautiful on my eyes.
