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

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. 

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.

Prettia Hi- Bleach Review

Liese Prettia Hi-Bleach

Review

4 days ago I decided to finally dye my hair with Liese Prettia Hi Bleach. Actually months before ordering this hair product I was torn whether to buy Paltys Sparkling Blonde Bleach but at the end I chose Prettia because I don't want to go overly blonde. My goal is just to lighten my hair a bit which it did. 

 I ordered my bleach from Japanichi a trusted online seller. A box of Prettia cost PHP 700 but got mine for less because I ordered plenty to get a wholesalers price. Here's my verdict:  

Overall Rating: 4.5 Berries

Price wise the price is really worth it even without the discount! Why?? It's because 1 box is enough even for  those who have long hair, compared to Palty which requires me to use 2 boxes. I assure you 1 box of Prettia is more than enough even for those people who have both thick and long hair.

The Smell of this product is also less irritating and does not sting compared to the other brands that I have used.

For the Color It did not actually turned blonde but I already expected that, that's why I chose this Bleach at the first Place because don't intend yet to go totally blonde but maybe next time I will *hahaha*. 

and lastly for the Texture I must say I love the end results! It did not dry up my hair!! Actually It somehow became more softer than before!!! Though I still deep conditioned my hair before and after I used this product just for precaution.

Overall I love this product it never fails to make me love it even more! This is actually my second time using it and surely It won't be the last! ^_^ There are still a lots of color to choose from already bought Platinum Beige for my next hair color can't wait to try it!

1 Box Contains : 

☑Gloves

☑After Color Hair Pack (Leave-On Conditioner)

☑Developer & a Pink Pump Nozzle Pump

☑Hair Color (The small bottle)

☑Instruction / Manual in Japanese

Things you Might Need (OPTIONAL)

☐ Cape/ Old shirt/Towel (So not to stain your clothes)

☐ Cotton Balls/Buds/Tissue (For safety precautions) 

☐ Oil based lotion

☐ Shower Cap 

Ok now lets get started!

First Carefully Read the instruction for those who can't read Japanese here's a easy to follow

 Video Instruction

I love the gloves, it's more snug fit compared to Paltys

Now time to mix the Developer and the Color 

After that close it with the safety cap and gently turn it upside down 5 times, remember NOT TO SHAKE the bottle! It would bubble and you'll find it difficult to pump and apply. 

After turning it upside down 5 times replace the cap with the pink nozzle pump 

Now It's ready for application!

Just slight Squeeze the bottle the voila! Let the fun Begin!! 

*Unfortunately I was not able to take pictures during the application process 

I was afraid to stain my phone case sorry ^^;;*

and so after washing the hair apply the After Color Pack for a smoother and silkier hair.

Here's the BEFORE:

*My Honey Brown color became reddish toned*

and  AFTER 30 minutes of leaving the Bleach on my hair

 *drum roll please* 

It turned out slightly lighter than before more like of a Golden Brown Color, I guess I should have left it 10 mins more for better result.

On the other hand the color turned out even *phew*

Clip-On Bangs

Last Thursday I went out with my high school buddies then as we were passing buy at “Landmark” a department store here where I am from. I noticed something new at the hair accessory area. My eyes sparkled when I saw the clip on bangs on the wig section. I was looking for months for a clip-on with a similar hair color as mine **Lucky I got the last 2 that’s almost near my shade**. It’s available at etude but their clip-on bangs is limited to only 4 colors as I remember correctly. 

Here’s a photo of the clip-on I bought from landmark: (The color is kind of different from the actual)

The one at the left is the full fringe bangs while the one at the right is the side bangs. I haven’t tried on yet the side bangs because somehow the color is much lighter than my hair, so I’m reserving it when for next time, maybe after bleaching my hair.

I’m really satisfied with this clip-ons especially price wise. It’s a lot cheaper than Etudes. It cost only PHP 99 (2.48 USD) pesos compared to etudes which cost PHP 700 (16.50 USD). My only comment is that it’s quite shiny so it has a tendency to look fake if you have dry hair like mine.

Me without Bangs

(with one of my high school buddy *ggaahh i can see my ugly black roots*) 

With bangs

Really enjoyed camwhoring! Somehow even though my hairs a bit dry the bangs blended well with my natural curly hair.

Where to buy:  I bought mine at Don Quijote Hawaii for $12, I guess you can check out Japanese Groceries near you or online shops like Amazon. For Philippine Buyers I bought my first Palty at Japanichi it's an online shop that sells Japanese Beauty Products.

Review:

2 months ago I redyed my hair with Dariya Palty Hair Dye in  Honey Brown for those of you who's not familiar with this brand its a Japanese Hair Dye which is really easy to use. It has tons of colors to choose from. They have 2 versions of this Hair Dye the Cream Type that comes with a comb applicator and a Foam Type which comes in a cute pink bucket mixer with a brush applicator.

Here's a sample of the colors that the Cream Type Version of Palty offers: (The one boxed in red is Honey Brown)

1 Box contains:

 ☑ Instruction in Japanese (If you can't read the nihongo, Heres a link for the English Instruction or you can just look at the picture it's easy to understand )

 ☑ Developer & Comb Applicator

 ☑ Gloves

 ☑ Hair Color (In tube)

 ☑ Leave on Conditioner (Tsubaki Oil)

Things you might need: (Optional)

☐ Old Shirt (You don't wan't you're pretty clothes to get stained :p )

☐ Shower Cap (So that the hair would absorb the color more)

☐ Cotton balls/Buds / Tissue (Just in case things get messy)

Here's the Result! :

BEFORE

Newly Colored  Prettia Marshmallow Brown

(White/Day Light)

After 3 months in Dark Lighting

AFTER

(Left it for about 25 mins don't want it to go too light)

Taken after 2 weeks (Warmwhite / Halogen Light)

After 2 Months (Natural Light) The color Faded

Pros

✓ The Cute Box it comes in with :3

✓ The smell is not that strong unlike american hair dyes

✓ Does not sting the Eyes during application

✓ The color last long

✓ Very Easy to Apply (Haven't tried the foam dye seems like Prettias Foam dye is easier to apply)

Cons

 ✖ Can be drying to the hair but can easily be fixed with Hair Mask (Well mine is already dry so I don't mind *lol*) 

 ✖ 1 box is not enough for those with long and thick hair. ( I used 2 boxes because my hair is long, It just look shorter because I have a Naturally Curly Hair)

 ✖ The color at the back of the box which indicates the result is not that accurate so If you want the result to be exactly as the picture, I suggest bleaching your hair first or go for one shade lighter your desired color.
