Chopped Off My Almost-waist-length Hair

June 12, 2009June 12, 2009 sweet surrender 10 Comments

I haven’t cut my hair for more than a year!

Reason? Laziness and also I overshot my budget for hair maintenance last year -.-”

In fact I didn’t intend to cut my hair today, I’m thinking of waiting till August before I go to Singapore. Still… I ended up cutting it today because I just felt like it.

My sexy natural curls are gone now but new curls will come back with new length. I’m so blessed! I’m so lucky to have such nice natural curls without spending hundreds to get curls like this.

The photo on the left is my hair yesterday, photo taken yesterday. It’s so long that you can’t see the end in this photo. Since it’s curly, it doesn’t seem like it’s almost waist length but when it’s wet and straight, it’s almost waist length.

The photo on the right is my hair today, taken after my haircut. The current curls you’re seeing here are not really the natural ones, I asked them to blow dry using diffuser instead of iron it straight after hair wash. This is the salon effect.

My head feel much lighter now.

Had my haircut at my usual place, Rejuvenate at Crown Square. I’ve been the customer of this salon ever since it opened for business. Not sure for how long, too long till I can’t recall.

This hair cost me RM30, I opted for wash+cut. Had a really great massage. It was so painful but felt great after that, every single knots in my body got loosen up. I really need it.

Maybelline Unstoppable Curly Extension Mascara

June 11, 2009June 17, 2009 sweet surrender 6 Comments

Maybelline Unstoppable Curly Extension mascara is my second mascara from Maybelline Unstoppable range. First one was the basic Maybelline Unstoppable Mascara.

I bought this because there was a discount at Guardian. Original price was RM30+, the discounted price was RM24+. Actually I wanted to buy the new Maybelline Cat Eyes from the Volumâ€™ Express Hypercurl range but the stock wasn’t in yet. Will buy it next time but don’t know when ;p

I wanted to buy brown colour but there’s only black left. I don’t really like black mascara but having this change once in a while isn’t really a big deal so long it doesn’t smudge and hopefully it’s waterproof. I hope this is waterproof -.-” I forgot to check whether it’s waterproof or not, only realized there’s no “waterproof” stated on the tube when back home. However, the previous Unstoppable seemed didn’t give me any problem so it should be OK.

Eyelashes without mascara.

Left: One coat only and I could see the difference instantly. The picture here doesn’t do much justice. I did notice the differences. It looked quite natural too as if I didn’t apply anything.

Right: Two or three coats, don’t remember as I was in rush applying it and that explains why some of the eyelashes seemed out of the way and there are some clumps because I made a last minute decision to add one last coat which was a bit too late ;p The difference for this is even huge! Then again, the photo just doesn’t show much hahaha…

It does extend, it does curl better compare to others that I used before. I didn’t use eyelash curler.

It doesn’t smudge and that’s good.

Waterproof or not? It’s not! *HORROR* Hahaha… I know why now… Coz the previous one was brown so it’s not that obvious, black will be pretty obvious. Have to becareful… Cannot shed a tear with this.

Hmm… Maybe I will try to wash the brush with shampoo or something to see it can be softened or not.

Girl Stuffs, Review It!

Clinique 3-Step Skin Care System Review

June 2, 2009June 3, 2009 sweet surrender 4 Comments

Remember I blogged about my first facial? The photo here shows you the trial pack, 15ml each. Aren’t these bottles cute? ;p

Now I’m going to review it after using it for 2 months. I started on 1st April 2009 and still using it now. It does solve my dry spots and fine wrinkles caused by dryness but not the oiliness of my face. The first two weeks of usage, I suffered some breakouts, small ones. I did some research on the net and it mentioned that it is due to the skin expelling those impurities. After two weeks, the breakouts got lesser and no more breakouts except during almost the time of the month which this is normal for me.

I’m using it twice daily, day and night.

This is my first time using such expensive products. Consider expensive for me.

Step 1: liquid facial soap
Not drying and it really opened up the pores for Step 2. When I used it for first few times, I got some reddish marks that would subside after about an hour. My skin is sensitive. Still I’m using it but after few times, they only appeared once in a while especially when it’s almost the time of the month. Other days are fine unlike other facial cleansers that I tried before.

Sometimes I would be using the Bioglo ClearPore Deep Cleansing Mask before Step 2. I remember the first time I used the mask, it took a lot of things out. Then 3 days later, I used again, nothing much came out. I used the mask 2 times a week or sometimes once a week. There’s nothing much came out since then with other facial cleanser.

With Clinique liquid facial soap, Step 1 really opens up the pores a lot! Most of the time I would surely get something out.

We can put it this way, either the facial soap really opens up the pores to get those things out or my skin isn’t really cleansed using this. That is why every time using the mask, there were sure to have something that came out. *shrug*

Well… According to Clinique, Step 1 is to prep your skin for exfoliation in Step 2. So… It’s more like opening up your pores for Step 2? Right?

I’m still using the trial bottle liquid facial soap. I’m not sure how long will it last, as I can’t see the content.

Step 2: clarifying lotion
The smell was horrible! I had to hold my breath every time I applied to my face. However, after I’m done with the trial bottle, the new bottle that I bought didn’t have such strong smell hmmm… Is it me getting use to the smell? I’m not sure. It gives me tingling sensation on my face, felt weird in the beginning but later got used to it and enjoying the feeling.

The trial bottle of clarifying lotion finished after 1 month of usage, I had stocked it up and using it now.

However, I think I want to switch to Clarifying Moisture Lotion after this as it is alcohol free. I think it will be a better option for my oiliness problem since the current one has quite a lot of alcohol judging from the smell and the consultant said so too. Even with alcohol, my skin oiliness level is still the same as it was before, no decrement nor increment.

We all know that, too much alcohol is not suitable for very oily skin as it strips off more moisture and cause your face to produce more oil to retain the moisture. She did mention to me about the non-alcohol based one but too late, I had already stocked up. Next time… Hmm… 6 months later maybe…

Step 3: dramatically different moisturizing lotion
I don’t like the stickiness and “shine” after using it. Sometimes I blotted it off. I will switch to gel after I’m done with this trial bottle. In fact I felt in love with dramatically different moisturizing gel few years back after trying out the sample in the magazine but never dare to invest in it.

It does moisturize my skin. I don’t get dry spots anymore.

From my estimation, it might take me 4-5 months to finish the 15ml dramatically different moisturizing lotion. I still have half bottle now.

That’s all from me on Clinique 3-Step Skin Care System. Do you have experiences to share?

Xixili, My New Panties LOL

May 3, 2009May 4, 2009 sweet surrender 12 Comments

*LOL* It’s really mine wokay! I got it today from tHe Spring Spring & Summer Fashion Show 2009 before the start of Xixili fashion show.

There were 2 Q&A sessions before the Xixili fashion show. First round had 5XRM30 cash vouchers. One of them was won by Allen. Wonder what he’s buying with this?

He was the second guy to answer the question coz he zoomed in to the banner near the stage and found the answer. Quite a number of guys won the vouchers hahaha… At the end, he gave it to his friend who also won one voucher. She’s a girl, so it’s useful for her.

Then, came the second round. I didn’t know what they were giving out actually. I just answered the questions just so to win something for the fun of it. Frankly, I had no idea which floor I was in tHe Spring so I gave the wrong floor but they gave me another chance ;p

When I got it, I still got no idea what’s in there until somebody (don’t know who) mentioned that it’s panties. M also got one, I asked her to answer the question since she got the first question in the first round of Q&A wrong. Also, there was no one knew the answer coz it’s not easy, so might as well let her answer with the help of Allen.

We got our panties and we camwhored with it *LOL* Funny I tell you, all those DSLRs snapping away while we posed with our new panties, I mean still in the packaging ;p

My first time having such kind of panties. I never buy any fancy panties in my whole life. This is the fanciest! Wonder when will I wear it hmm… It feels weird. Anyway, wanna see me in this? You can actually but only when you be my Valentine hahaha…

I have more than 1200 of photos to filter for the 2 days fashion show. Stay tuned!

Straighten My Hair

May 1, 2009May 1, 2009 sweet surrender 8 Comments

All right! I know you people are waiting for the Breeze Party post but I’m not going to upload it today because I’m not really in the mood to edit and filter so many failed photos with my current condition, itchy nose and non-stop sneezing due to my sensitive nose that cannot tolerate smoke filled place. My longest record of sneezing frenzy was one week. I hope for this it won’t be that bad but kinda doubt it because I was in the place longer than previously. ARG!

Oh! Please send me photos with me from your camera if you have, I don’t have any photo with me in my camera. Thanks in advance.

It took me about 1 hour to straighten my own hair yesterday. It’s not easy to do it myself and with no clips at all to section my hair. So I tied my hair into sections with rubber bands. If not mistaken, I split my hair into 10 sections.

With the help of straightening iron my sis brought back last year and Sunsilk Straight & Sleek Anti-frizz Lotion, I started the whole process.

Well… It’s not easy. It’s not chopstick straight. Later towards the day, some curves showed up, at least it’s not curly as my normal hair. Even if I did the temporary iron straightening in the salon, it won’t stay chopstick straight but at least without the slight waves at the back. The waves were there because I couldn’t reach it and I didn’t want to risk melting the rubber bands for putting the iron too close to the rubber bands.

There is no way I can achieve chopstick straight hair without rebounding. Not like I want to, it will be very high maintenance with my natural curls.

Left: Picture taken about half hour after straightening. See how the curve came back?

Right: The one and only photo of myself in my camera taken in Merdeka Palace toilet ;p

Yesterday eye makeup failed badly because of the stupid double eyelids tape that didn’t stick! The tape was not properly cut and I couldn’t remove it properly. With all the tugging, the stickiness was gone. I wasted 2 pairs of the tape and the last one failed on me and I had to remove it in the toilet! GRRR!

Oh well… What to expect from cheap stuff like this? I’ve been using it for quite a while and how lucky that the sheet I’m using yesterday was not properly cut by the machine. I’m sure many of my photos were ruined by the double eyelids tape coz it “popped out” from my eyelid. BOOO!

Towards the night, I was not really in the mood for any photo because without the tape, my right eyelid was dropping and making my two eyes looked imbalance! That’s the problem when you are having a pair of eyes with one side of the double eyelid showing and another side hidden that makes the eyelid looked puffy.
