Lately, all I’ve been doing is pampering myself and reading whilst waiting for my mask or whatever is ready. I pump about a dozen sprays of this Redken treatment in my hair, focusing on the tips of my hair. This product, I think is best applied on damp hair because when you apply it on dry hair , it doesn’t feel like you’ve applied much until you pump about 20 sprays!! And this product is expensive, so you don’t want to waste so much.

For those who are not familiar with this product, or the Redken Extreme line, these  products are made specifically for extremely damaged hair. Now, my hair isn’t like crazy damaged, but I’d like to keep it at the best condition possible so that I would have less breakage and hence, my hair will grow faster! ♥

You leave this treatment in your hair for about 15-20 minutes. I don’t usually wrap a towel around or anything unless my hair is dripping wet, which it shouldn’t be.. it should be just damp.

Then I go read or watch TV, and then rinse it out. When I’ve rinsed it out, I go and grab my Henna treatment – the one I mentioned on this hair care video. And again, this product is one of my freaking favourite products in the whole world.

I leave the Henna treatment in for about 20 minutes wrapped in a towel, or if I’m lazy, about 5 minutes inside the shower.

Result? You can literally get an ant to slide off my hair. It’s so freaking amazing.

I know some of you guys who aren’t familiar with the Cat treatment might find it weird that I’m using two treatments, but the reason behind that is because the Cat treatment is actually a protein treatment. It doesn’t actually leave your hair feeling soft and silky. It protects your hair and keeps it feeling strong. Its like an “inside treatment”. So when you use the Henna treatment, which is a moisturising treatment, it makes your hair feel nice on the outside.

Get it? It’s like taking vitamins and using moisturiser/lotion on your skin :)

I don’t think alot of us realise, but we need to protect both inside and outside of our body.

I’m lovin’ my routine so far. Continuing on to do this on a fortnightly basis will definitely keep my healthy and silky. Ontop of this actually, I’m also taking Hair, Skin and Nails vitamins.. but I’ll give a review on the product I’m using later :) ♥

I didn’t want to live with short nails again, and I certainly didn’t want to live with weak and brittle nails. I mean, I could live with plain nails… but that certainly won’t last for long.

So, I pulled out all of my nail shiz that I’ve collected over the year – which is a crazy amount I’m tellin’ ya, and I threw on a brainless design on these false nails. I first coloured (with one of my CG polishes, I don’t remember which one. Check here)

Anyways, this is what I came up with. Like I said, its a brainless design, but represents me well. Not the brainless bit ofcourse! ♥

The middle finger was supposed to represent a bow, but one of the crystals fell off before I could take a photo. I’ve been working at my dad’s restaurant alot :(

It’s not perfect, but it’ll do for now. ♥

Well, most of my eyelashes are almost always “customised”. I haven’t really found a wear that I’ve loved completely, whole-hearted. I’m an false eyelash slut you can say :P

Anyhow, I’ve explained to a few of you that I actually double up my eyelashes before, and alot of you actually requested for a tutorial on it! I didn’t think it needed its own video, but I did include it in a make up look I was doing.

I need some new make up tutorial ideas!! I want to do some celebrity inspired make up looks! Any suggestions?

Make a comment below! ♥

I haven’t had much motivation to blog lately. I blame the weather. :P

Pictures are huge today. I love big pictures, especially on blogs. Some might think it’s a tad too big and fills up too much space and take up too much bandwidth, but I think its beautiful when the image is not pixelated and bad quality :)

What do you guys think?

I’m using this “close eye” effect for the tutorials because my camera doesn’t auto focus, so I’ve got to keep it on one view for the entire filming time. I also didn’t cut out the ending this time, so go me! ♥

All products I used are listed on the bottom bar, so please check it out before asking ♥

I wore this look to go see a few friends for lunch. We went to Counter Burger, which is a burger stop in Crows Nest. They have the hugest burgers ever. The biggest one is 450g, which is freaking almost half a kilogram!

Most of us settled for the 300g burger and I still couldn’t even finish half! The beef patty is about 10x thicker than the McDonald’s Cheeseburger patty!

I really loved Counter Burger because your burgers were completely customisable! They gave you a range of toppings and sauces, and you get to choose exactly what you wanted! ♥

They even offered “Burger in a Bowl” if you are cutting down on carbs and don’t want the bread!

Sweet Potato Chips with Onion Rings! ♥

My burger – 300g beef patty with onion, beetroot, baby leaves, mushroom and garlic sauce! ♥

Mr.CG’s burger in a bowl. Don’t remember what he got exactly but it was pretty similar to mine :)
He got two sauces because his one was a “burger in a bowl” and mine was in a “bun”

We also ordered an Apple Pie and Peanut Butter Malt, but I forgot to take pictures of them. They were both extremely sweet and delicious at the same time! I couldn’t finish mine, we just had too much food for the day. :(

We also skipped dinner because of this gigantic meal LOL! If you live in Sydney, you must try this place out!

And I promise a tutorial real soon.

I haven’t made a video in a week, so I was kind of breaking up when I was trying to explain things. I also talked about two products I purchased from New Zealand. They were both from the brand ZA – which I learnt through my youtube viewers that it’s not “Za” but read as “Zed-A”. LOL, thanks guys.

I loved going to Farmers so much when I was in Christchurch! It is like a Myer/David Jones in Sydney – but a lot smaller. But, they sell so many brands that Australia doesn’t! *jealous!

I’ve emailed Farmers to ask  if they can ship to Australia! Does anyone from New Zealand know if they do? It’s only an island away, so I really hope they do. Buying things online that aren’t readily available in my country is always overpriced :P

I decided to change my glue on nails to different ones! I must say glue ons are amazing easy to take off and so so sticky at the same moment. I soaked my nails in acetone and waited a little while, then peeled them off as easy as sticky tape! ♥

I love glue on’s.. I’m going to keep using them from now on!

And yes, some rhinestones are missing because I washed the dishes right after I put these on :(

I was absolutely thrilled and speechless when I was emailed by one of the editors of SMH for an interview. She told me she found me whilst searching for information about circle lenses and would like me to go over to the studio for a mini photoshoot and a quick chat.

She had asked me to dress fashionable and fun, just like the way I usually am on my blog, so I planned out what to wear and went over to their building about day after returning from New Zealand.

I’ve never appeared on the newspaper before, so you could imagine how crazy excited I was! I turned up with my makeup and dress made to perfection.

Since the article was going to be on circle lenses, I made sure I wore my craziest pair – which is obviously my pink ones (EOS Candy Color Pink)! ♥

And ofcourse I paired my pink lenses with a pink (MAC Viva Glam  Gaga) lipstick and a pink fur jacket! I made sure everything matched perfectly. I even straightened my hair for the day dammit – I hardly ever straighten my hair anymore.

I went over the top abit in photo-taking-in-the-car, but I had to make sure my make up and hair was perfect before entering their studio.

And because she asked for “fashionable” and “fun”, I thought it’d be a good chance to wear these new stockings I purchased from New Zealand. They cost me $5.90NZ! That’s equivalent to less than $5AU I think!  Bargain!! I love the crazy design!

And how could I forget about accessories. I wanted to wear something over the top like I always do, so I chose this masssive flower ring I got from Diva :)

So then I entered the Fairfax Media building. It was about 10 levels high and it was so so busy. There were people absolutely everywhere!!

I met a few people and was introduced to my photographer. I swear we took about 250+ photos with 200, just on my eye!!! I know the whole article is based on circle lenses, but my eyes were so blinded by the end of the shoot. The photoshoot alone, took about 1-1.5 hours. Sadly, I don’t have the photos and when I asked for them, I was told that the photos could not be released.

Anyhow, the article was released today and is on page 3 of the Sydney Morning Herald. I took a picture of the article, but you guys can also read it online here.

She sent me several products, which included:

 1. Shrink and tighten large pores diminishing night complex
2. Shrink and tighten Large pores reducing serum
3. Off with those heads blackheads sebum gel

 Ingredients information is provided on the back.

Shrink and tighten large pores diminishing night complex claims:
The pore diminishing night complex eliminates large pores, while ensuring your firm’s fireness and brightness at all hours.
Shrink and Tighten + works its magic in the night to stimulate collagen production to make sure your pores will always be out of sight. Its 10% L-ascorbic acid and cell regeneration nutrients firms your skin, brightens your complexion, leaving you looking flawless and absolutely healthy once again.

I think: Yes, this product is great for use at night because its too oily to be put on in the mornings. I love this stuff. It leaves my skin feeling oily right after I use it at night, but the next morning, my skin feels so soft and only 2 or 3 drops is enough for the entire face.

Shrink and tighten Large pores reducing serum
This pore-reducing solution help minimize those large pores and pits, while repairing your weaken skin protection barrier.
Shink and Tighten helps reverse all your unsightly facial pores, by pumping in collagen to seal the pores, preventing future problems, by flushing out clogging and calming down irritation. Its anti-oxidant and barrier-repairing properties ensuring your complexion will stay forever large pore free!

Off with those heads blackheads sebum gel
This sebum gel extracts white – and blackheads with ease – without the need to painfully squeeze.
Off with those heads removes white & blackheads without violence or pain, and stops them from appearing ever again. The gel softens the clogging blocking your pores, allowing for effortless extraction and removal of all sores. Its essence ingredients keep oil secretions under control and skin irritation will again rule!

I think: To be honest, both of these two products didn’t me much results at the beginning and I tend to give up on a product after several uses. However, the “Off with those heads blackheads sebum gel” did help in terms of oil production during the day. I found that I was producing less oil when I used this prior to my make up application in the mornings.
I also found that using these two gels would leave my skin smoother than without using them. They were not very moisturising though and was absorbed by the skin very very quickly.

Leech me moisturizing mask
I only had one sheet of this mask so its hard for me to do a complete review so I didn’t include it in the video review, same as the other two samples below. I found that this mask did as it stated, really did moisturise my skin and left my skin feeling so hydrated. I think this mask would be perfect for winter and those dry, cold nights :)

Shielf Me Sunblock + Moisturiser
I used this for about a week or two religiously as my daily sunscreen. It doesn’t have a very strong sunscreen smell to it which I think is a definitely plus. I like that it wasn’t sticky and didn’t feel greasy when applied onto the skin. The formula is very light so it sinks into the skin almost immediately. However, I didn’t like how it didn’t state how much SPF it provides.. I’m not sure if they have it on the larger bottle, but it definitely didn’t come with the sample bottle.

I haven’t had a chance to use this yet, so I cannot review this :)

Here is a video review for you guys to see the products “in real life”. LOL

Alright, just need to edit one more video and I’m off to bed. I’ve updated my new youtube channel with some of my older videos, so I haven’t deleted them, I’ve just had to re-edit them to take out the sound, so I’m not going to have copyright issues again! :(

Hope you guys enjoy my videos and gooodnight! It’s so freaking cold! <3
