I Took the Plunge and Went RED!

Using Etude House Hot Style Salon Cream!

When I saw these boxes at Etude House stores, I've been meaning to try them so many times but I just don't have the chance color my own hair because of my extremely busy schedule!  As you all know, HairShaft salon did my most recent #SignatureTones in Ash Brown and I got good feedback!  But since my hair color is getting lighter by the minute and I don't have time to go to a salon for now, I went to Etude House branch near me and purchased an at-home-color-kit in Cherry Red Brown.

Please keep in mind results will vary!  I had "balayage-d" hair prior to this and the ash brown color made this color a bit unique and not too red as compared to the photo on box!  But overall, the Etude House Hot Style Salon Cream is easy to use!  It comes with a plastic to protect your clothing, hand gloves and a comb/brush for hair coloring!  I appreciate that the cream consistency is easy to use and the free hair treatment is actually a nice ending to my hair coloring journey!  

My hair actually felt less dry, frizzy and the color actually popped!  Mr. AMW actually liked it and told me he has a new wife! :P

L'Oreal Brow Artist Chisel Straight Review

How difficult or easy it is to use the L'Oreal Brow Artist Chisel Straight?

Well, you all know how much I love the L'Oreal Brow Artist KIT and the Brow Artist Design Pro (Pencil and powder combo) also won my heart! 

So this could be hailed an easy winner right?  We'll see, I'm a bit in the middle for this particular product!  This product by the way is meant for that "Korean-straight-brows" we all hoped for once in our brow lifetime.

Soft brow color with specially designed dual-purpose applicator; wand comes with a chisel sponge for brow shaping and a spoolie for brow sculpting;  chisel sponge creates full, plump, straight brows;  spoolie blends color evenly and adds texture to brow hairs.

Tony Moly's The Oriental Gyeol Goun Two-Way Pact.
Please do not expect to see this limited edition set at Tony Moly stores near you because I was lucky enough to grab the last few sets left a couple of months ago!  It took me a couple of tries before putting up a review.  Why?  because this shade is a tad bit light on me but I still manage to use this for review on days I don't need to face clients, you know, those random days I just face the computer!  Hahaha

The Oriental Gyeol Goun Two-Way Pact (Php1,148.00) is supposed to be just a two-way powder foundation (two way meaning, you can use this wet or dry).  Now, the limited edition set is perfect because I also get to try The Oriental Gyeol Goun BB Cream (full size priced Php1,348.00).

Php1,348.00

The shade I got is in 02 Natural Beige.  If you purchase the Two-Way Pact separately, I believe they also have Dark Beige as their darkest shade, but asking a couple of Tony Moly stores, they seem to be out of stock!

A Close Dupe for OCC Lip Tars

Just look at my lips!  Super baby pink right?  And guys, it happened in just ONE SWIPE!  And it's not OCC Lip Tars!  They're from a Korean brand called 3CE (3 Concept Eyes) and they are called Lip Pigment!

Shade: Mellow Pink

I actually picked this shade on my first Althea order a few months back!  It took me a while to muster the courage to really wear this because trust me when I say it looks great on photos but quite alarmingly pink in person!  As you all know, I'm into pinks, bright pinks, but not on my lips!  

Is it a bad buy?  Actually, NOT!  I find this a perfect "mixing medium" for my other liquid lipsticks.
