ESSENTIAL RICH PREMIER Ultra Honey Hair Mask

Okay so I haven't posted in like a whole year or something
and I'm sorry!
but I just spent aaaages figuring out my password because I wanted to post about this!

(why does my hand always look weird in photos?)

Anyway, this stuff's amazing!! 

It's a hair mask~ pretty basic I suppose. 

You just apply however much you need (depending on how think or damaged your hair is), massage your hair and scalp, leave it on for about 5 minutes (I left mine on for a lot longer cause my hair's pretty damaged) and then rinse out your hair.

Essential really focuses on and emphasizes the repairing the bottom 15 centimeters of your hair because it's the most damaged. Lol like, the ads for it in Taiwan are all like "15公分的秘密!!" which literally translates to "the secret of 15 centimeters!"

So you might wanna apply extra on the ends of your hair. 

I did, the ends of my hair are like straw =__="

(I'll post about my hair at a later date.)

I didn't really notice all that much of a difference after I'd rinsed my hair and dried it etc but the next day i suddenly realized that my hair was SO SOFT. Even the ends of my hair looked shinier.

I was, like, in complete awe lol. Also because of how soft was (I think) my hair looked really nice and fell in this really lovely way so that the layers were all really apparent. I didn't need to straighten my hair like normally. I think my bangs (fringe?) looked especially nice cause they were all puffy and spiky like normally^^

The texture:

It's quite creamy, not runny or sticky and applies to your hair really smoothly.

oh, and it smells AMAZING

well, I like it a lot ^^;

I got my tub of this in Taiwan so I'm gonna be really heartbroken when it runs out!! But it's 200g... So I'm pretty sure it won't run out THAT quickly. I think I'll try to con my brother into bringing another tub back to nz for me.

If you wanna try it~ you can get it at sasa.com ^^ here's the link: http://web1.sasa.com/SasaWeb/eng/product/viewProductDetail.jspa?itemno=104405202001

try it try it try it try it!! *nudge*

So anyway, cause my hair looked so nice I couldn't resist putting on some makeup (just eyeliner and mascara) and camwhoring a little =p

The last one's edited (as you can probably tell) with this app on iphone called 美图秀秀 with the 炫彩LOMO filter (in case you wanted to know)

And I know, I know, I should work on my photo expressions. I always just have that one smile. lol.

Okay, you're probably sick of my and my photos of me now... 

so I'll go do my assignment now... 

but.

I'll be back!

*dun dun duuuuuuuuuuuun*

lol.

love.

Anna Sui Lip Rouge G - Glossy

I have long been in love with Anna Sui cosmetics~
The packaging is SO pretty. It's so elaborate and princess-y (but in a slightly darker sort of way i suppose)
The thing is, Anna sui packaging sometimes seems (to me anyway) on the edge of tacky . But also not at the same time. They pull it off wonderfully...
O_o i'm not really making sense...

ANYWAY

There are.. i think 15(?) colours in their 'Lip Rouge G - Glossy' range.
I have two of them..
In 302 and 300:

and with flash:

I'm really not the best photographer, am i? haha ^^;;;

They have the effect of lip glosses (i.e. making your lips really glossy) but aren't sticky like lipglosses often are. And that's really good (for me at least) 'cause i'm always getting my hair in my face.
They are scented.. although.. it's a really really really light sort of flowery smell... you barely notice it.
Since they're glossy but not sticky, it means it doesn't stay put on your lips.. you have to reapply it every so often.. it's not really like normal lipstick that you really expect to stay on for longer i guess...

Swatches:

ugh the skin on my wrist looks so dry lol..

and with flash:

As you can see, they're really sheer..
I have slightly darker coloured lips, so the colour isnt really all that prominent when i wear it by itself.
But they help give my lips a nicer coloured sheen =]
I wear it over matte lipstick sometimes (basically using it as gloss) so that my lips dont look too dry but also aren't overly glossy.

I have to admit i'm not the biggest fan of lip gloss because it's sticky and makes my lips look really fat.
haha~~ i suppose lots of people are always striving for plump lips? And achieving it with lipgloss? But.. i dont know...
me with extra plump lips just looks really odd
'cause
ughhh i have a fat lower lip that protrudes little so i look like i have an underbite.
and adding more volume to that...
well yea.. >___<""
lol~~

here are some photos of the packaging cause it's so awesome:

it's heart shaped~!!

front and back.

I really do like these and would reccomment to people~
 but because they dont really give my lips too much colour, i might try another anna sui lipstick range next time instead of buying these again because although there ARE other colours i assume they're all really sheer.
I think these would definitely suit people with paler lip colours..

buuuuut what do i know~ i'm just a makeup noob, maybe i'm using them wrong?
=P

Herbacin Camomile glycerine handcream

So i'm not reall a fan of hand creams... 'cause i dont like that sticky greasy feeling on my hands and the fact that i can't touch my phone or my ipod of anything after i use hand cream. But yea, my hands are often kinda on the dry side..

BUT, my parents were in Germany earlier this year and my mum brought me back this hand cream.

It's supposedly quite famous and really good quality stuff.
So i thought i could give it a chance.
I actually really liked it.

-It absorbs really quickly so i don't have to worry about having greasy hands....
-It smells really really nice =]
-makes my hands feel softer and just really nice in general..
so i just found myself sitting there putting more and more of it on my hands... ^^;;;;
I also love the cute little tin
haha~~
they have it in tubes as well..
this is a hand and nail cream:

but i prefer the tin =]
i'm going to be sad when it runs out =(
