Don Quijote | Palty Sparkling Blonde Bleach Review

Hi guys I'm Back and already Blonde! It's been ages since my last post, and yes I know I did  promised to be more diligent when it comes to blogging but somehow I've been busy with work and stuff and so anyway  about 2 months during my Hawaiian Vacation. I went to my favorite Japanese Grocery store  "Don Quijote" which is located just a few blocks from Ala Moana Center. This place is Heaven for those who loves Japanese Products they have food to Beauty Care and even electronics.

My eyes literally sparkled  while walking at the aisle full of Japanese Beauty Products. From Facial Wash to Make-up and Hair Dye!!! Oh how I wish they had a store like this in the Philippines!

I even saw a post-ad of Matsu Jun!! 

I ended up buying Palty Sparkling Blonde to bleach my hair, I was hesitant at first because almost all reviews that I read said that their hair ended up too orangey and dried-up damaged hair. I took the risk and bought it.

So the next day I immediately bleached my Hair with 2 boxes of Palty Sparkling Bleach

(Note: If your hair is Medium to Long I suggest to get 2 boxes)

(Bleach Powder, Comb Applicator, Developer, Coloring Agent , Clear Plastic Gloves, Tsubaki Oil (Leave-on Treatment), Hair Cap and Instruction)

I was Indeed Lucky to have English Instruction included, I heard that most boxes only have it in Japanese. So I'll just write a brief a instruction on how to mix the bleach:

Step 1 

Mix the Bleach Powder with the Developer. Shake for 30 seconds (60-80 times) in an Up and Down motion. You will notice it will turn into a blue-violet tone.

Step 2

Next is Squeeze you Coloring Agent Paste in to the developer and Shake again for 30 seconds (60-80 times) in an Up and Down motion.

Step 3

Replace the Cap with the Comb Applicator and Now It's ready for apply!!! ^___^

***  note: Remember not to let it touch to you're scalp!!! Burning sensation and allergic reaction will occur.

Step 4

Leave it for 15-30min max then Rinse Hair.

For my hair, I left the bleach for 25 mins so that not to damaged it much.

RESULTS!!!!!!!

Before: 

Dyed my hair few months ago but my roots are already showing up.

After:

I already expected an orangey result so I was not shocked nor disappointed

Here's a clearer shot:

In the end I LOVED the RESULTS though I did dyed it with a less vibrant colour right after 2 weeks which I would post this coming weekend... I have to say IT DID NOT dried up my hair or maybe because I kept using hair mask and Conditioner Treatments in advance prior to bleaching and even after! 

I would totally use this product again to touch up my roots! :) Lucky for me just a week ago I saw Palty readily available at a local Department store here in Manila! Lucky for me ^___^~

FANCL HTC Collagen Review

Hey guys I know It's been a while since my last update, been really busy lately with a job related work. So I'm really sorry for the delay, anyways here my long overdue comparison review about "FANCL HTC Collagen" VS "Meiji Beaute White Amino Collagen"

below is chart I made to show the comparison between the two products.

As you can see "FANCL HTC Collagen" makes the skin Rosy Red rather than making it glow and vibrant. The appearance of this collagen is made tablet form compared to the glossy white gel capsule of Meiji that I prefer because in my opinion its easier to swallow plus it only requires 4 intakes per day compared to FANCL collagen that has a dosage of 6 tablets a day .

I think what is good about this product though is that one package is good for 30days and it's a bit more cheaper. I also like how this products is scentless compared to Meijis which smells like fish and rotten egg, maybe because FANCL Collagen is made from chicken compared to Meijis Amino Collagen which is made from Fish.

Result wise both are good in enhancing the skins complexion. Though for me I would go back to using  Meiji Beaute White Amino Collagen since it gave my skin a very healthy white glow which I love so much plus it has fast more effective results in the aspect of stopping pimple and acne breakouts.

Well that's it for now hope my review helps! If you guys have any questions feel free to ask by leaving a comment! ^_^ till next time

PS
~ I'll try to update my blog as often as I could

Meiji Amino Collagen Beaute White Review

It's been a while since my last review post. For the past weeks I've been trying out Meiji Amino Collagen "Beaute White" In fact I just finished my first bottle, at first I was really quite hesitant to take collagen pills because I'm not sure if there are any side effects that can permanently damage my health. So I really did research about what collagen is and what it does and how it affects my body. So after thorough research I ended up trying it since it has a very good backs from both doctors and mass users.

A bottle contains 84  Soft Glossy White Capsules which is good to consume for 21 days with a dosage of 4 capsule per day. You can drink 2 capsules in the morning and 2 in the evening.

So What is Collagen?
It's basically natural proteins made of amino-acids from animals usually from fish and chickens.

What does Collagen do?
Collagen helps strengthen various structure of the body, in fact today some people call it the "Fountain of Youth"  because it helps brings back the smoothness of you're skin to how it was before. Making it vibrant and soft. 

So who can use Collagen?
Anyone can use it. Research shows that as people age collagen production decreases in result the cell structure weakens. I remember reading somewhere that "No one is too young to start using anti-aging products" in fact the sooner you use one, the less damage it would create to your skin in the future.

What Collagen to use?
Today there are many companies that produce collagen products.There are even products specially made for females consumers and specially made for male consumers. Just be sure to research on the company and the product your'e using also the Ingredients it contains. 

So for me after using it for 21 days I must say I totally love this product so much! It was really worth getting hyped with, before using this product I was having problems with sudden acne breakouts and dryness of skin. My skin was shouting for help! 

So that's what got me thinking of using this product. Amazingly after just 3 days of using it I noticed it taking effect, the break out stopped. I felt that my skin was being hydrated and was smoother compared to before. It also gave my skin a healthy glow.

Because of the very good result I asked my dad to buy me a bottle when he flew to osaka just a week ago, too bad it was out of stocked at the drugstore near his hotel, in the end my dad bought a different brand instead. 

I guess I'll give this brand a try first, though I prefer Meiji since it's made from Fish collagen.Oh I must to warn you this product smells like fish and rotten eggs which is totally normal since it has fish oil as one of its main ingredient, but its really worth drinking so don't  be turned of just because off the smell.

I'm guessing the HTC collagen one is from chicken if my Japanese reading serves my right. Oh well I'll do a comparison review on this next time. Will finish the 30days consumption dosage first to see the results. 

Liese Prettia Platinum Beige Review

Platinum Beige

More than a week ago I decided to changed my hair color from Prettia Hi-bleach, to Prettias Platinum Beige which is more on the ash brown tone. I would not go on full detail about the product since I already did a product  review regarding this brand plus my opinion still stays the same. Instead I would be posting more on the results and what I think about the color. If  you  want to read my thoughts about Prettia, you can check on my review on [Prettia Hi-Bleach]

So here's a picture of the coloring kit

Mix in the developer and the color

*Remember not to shake the bottle vigorously *

Replace the Cap with the Pink Nozzle and gently squeeze the bottle to pump the foam out! ^_^

Apply foam evenly then wait for 20 mins before washing it off.

*I left mine for an hour since I was watching TV lol*

Here my hair after the first wash

After a week under Halogen Lighting

Under Natural Light (Sun Light) it turned out to be orangey but still has an ashy feel

Under Fluorescent  Light 

For me the color turned out exactly like the illustration at the back of the box so I'am quite satisfied with the results! I also got the ash tone that I'm looking for especially under fluorescent light. I guess the only con is that the color seems to differ a lot  under certain lighting. 

5 Things You’ll need to start losing weight

1.  Determination is the key to success! This is the most important thing you’ll need to in order to lose weight, without this your diet would FAIL for sure!

Don't let your determination change it's purpose *lol*

Always Remember

    

2. Exercise!!  I know it’s hard and can be a bit boring and tedious to do but it works 100% and  SAFE compared to those pills, tea and other slimming products in the market!

For Beginners try doing 10-50 crunches a day just to get the routine started and mix it with at least 20-30 minutes of jogging … eventually you’ll start enjoying doing work out that you yourself will add new routines to your daily exercise!

Just think of exercise as a form of Revenge on those FATS

 that made you depress and unhealthy for all this time.

3. Proper Eating Habits and Self Control! Stop eating and drinking JUNKS like chocolates, chips and sodas!! It’s a BIG NO NO start eating healthy! Veggies and Meat is a good source of proteins that can help up boost your metabolism!

For example replace RICE or BREAD with plain OATS, its health plus it has less calories!

Second is to eat properly at the RIGHT time. Don’t Skip meals and starved yourself it would backfire at you and the tendency would be that you will EAT MORE because of the hunger.

Remember eating healthy makes our body healthy and our skin HAPPY

4.  Have a GOAL or an Inspiration like in 3 months time I would be able to go 2 size smaller than my current size or have a weekly Goal like lose 4 pounds in 1 week!

Whenever you feel like quitting, ask yourself this:

5. Discipline ... If you have Determination next thing you’ll need to have is Discipline! Don’t let temptation get the better of you always think of your goal and the benefits it would give you when you accomplish it!

Remember

Keep in mind

Stay Focus and be Healthy! ^__^!!

Maybelline Lipstick Review

This is probably a super late review! Since I have already been using these for 3 weeks now lol !!! ^_^

So last month I blogged about giving Maybelline a try Specifically Maybellines "Fushia Fever" and Water Shine Pure "R22" 

First is  Fushia Fever! I'm so in love with this color, from daily or party look this would be the perfect lip color to wear! It just brings out the inner lady in me haha, plus it compliments my fair complexion! ♡ I love how it also last long for hours before having the need to retouch my lips again.

On the other hand the Water Shine Pure "R22" ain't  bad either. The color made my face a bit more mature in a good way. I guess I would wear this when going out at night or at a business meeting where I want taken more seriously. So in other words this would be a good color to wear at the office or a night out with friends! ^__^ ... For the water shine edition I must say I love the gloss of the color! Though It doesn't last as long as the Fushia Fever but a little touch up would solve the problem ^_^.

To sum it all up! It was really worth trying Maybelline! I love it ! It's cheap but has the same quality like those of expensive cosmetics brands. I would definitely buy their products again.
