Pureology

Recommended by: Hank, owner of  Pure Hair Salon

This shampoo and conditioner is serious. I used to use Aveda Color Conserve™ Shampoo and conditioner, which was not bad, and then shortly after, I was introduced to Pureology. This shampoo and conditioner set not only smells good but it locks in my hair color for months. Mind you, I have not been in for a color touch up for almost 3 months now yet my color still stands. The one that I am using right now is the Pureology Anti-Fade Complex shampoo and conditioner.

Shampoo:
Squeeze an amount that is about the size of your thumb into your palms. Separate the dollop into halves. For one-half, run it through the ends of your hair. For the other half, massage it in your hands until it foams up then massage it into your scalp with your fingers doing a circular motion. Then slowly work the shampoo down your hair right down to the ends and rinse.

Conditioner:
Squeeze the same amount as the shampoo into your palms. Take about one-third of the dollop and place it on your head. Take the remaining dollop and work it into your ends inching up towards your scalp. Use your fingers to massage the scalp in circular motions to hydrate and moisturize. Leave in for 3-5 minutes and rinse.

The East

I was talking to one of my friends and found out that he is on his way to Hong Kong. I have recently taken a vacation to Hong Kong along with other destinations. Since I have not blogged for a long while, I figured that I should post some of the pictures that I have taken on my past trip. Meanwhile, I will have a new post up soon!

Cheers =)

Destinations: Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai

Natural Wings

As I am in school now, I like to keep my make-up simple and natural. I decided to intensify my eyes a little the other day, so I created wings to my eyes. The wings that I have created are soft, thin, and natural.

Jade Tulip

My grandma gave me a pair of jade tulip-shaped earrings. I have many things jade, but not a pair of jade earrings! I was excited about my new jade earrings so I decided to share them with you.

Lady Turquoise

I have finally been around to do a quick manicure. Inspired by all the pastel greens, mint greens, and bright turquoises, I have decided to do bright turquoise with a complementing dark shade of turquoise on my nails. Obviously, I do not prefer my nails to be too plain so, I was thinking about decorations or arts I can create on my nails. I have not used my KONAD stamping kit for a long while, and so I took it out and chose a nice flower print for the final touch.

 Cheers =)

The colors I have used (left to right):

- Nailtiques Formula 2
- Essie No Chips Ahead
- Sally Hansen The Real Teal
- Sinful Colors See You Soon

A Prequel To Valentine’s Day

February.11.2012

My friend recommended this dessert cafe called Sweet Revenge. The apple pie that they have there is unbelievably amazing. The apple pie had a perfect balance of tartness and sweetness to it and with the creaminess from the vanilla ice cream; it was heavenly.

I ordered the old-fashioned chocolate cake and it was all right. The chocolate cake was a little too dense and rich for me. However, my new moon sangria was awesome, but when I choose medium for the size of the drink; it was humongous. Overall, we had a nice experience. Would I go back there? Probably

*For the apple pie 

Cheers =)

Ciara’s “Promise” Video Inspired Photoshoot

 Hello all,

I was just going through some of the photo-shoot’s that I did earlier this year with my friend Nomin. I thought that I would share them with you.

This photo-shoot was inspired by Ciara’s “Promise” Video and it was rather fun to recreate.

Enjoy,
Cheers =)

PS: The photo-shoot that I mentioned a couple of days ago, Dennis Lee is still working on the final touches. This is not the photo-shoot but this was taken by him as well.
