Not So Good Hair Products

I feel like I've been so bad at comments and catching up on blogs, but tomorrow 3/5 classes cancelled so I have plenty of time!!!
Hair products are probably the most annoying thing for me. A lot of the products I've tried are hit or miss. Maybe I should invest in some better products instead of the drugstore brands XD
The one product I trust is the Schwarzkopf hair spray, but I ran out!!!! I highly doubt that Korea sells it. Most of the hair products are Korean, Dove, Vidal Sasson and they carry very few Japanese items.
When I ran out of the usual hairspray, I went and purchased the Gatsby Super Hard spray for about 8000won. It's a lot cheaper than the Schwarzkopf spray I use, which is $18CAD.
I don't really like the Gatsby hairspray. It does not last long enough. My hair falls flat in a matter of hours.
It also smells really bad. There's no fragrance in the product and all you can smell is chemical.
The spray comes out in a very fine mist and it's difficult to get enough to set my hair.
Oh well, I can't say it's money wasted as Tim uses some too, so that means I can try the Ma Cherie Platinum spray sooner!

The second hair product is the Skinfood Apple Mango Volume Essence. I think I got it for about 4500won and there is 100mL.
I don't really like the smell of this either. Imagine apple and mango juice mixed with vinegar.
The product also doesn't do much. I don't see a difference at all after I blow dry my hair. *sigh* It feels more like a hair conditioner because my hair feels slightly softer.
I like this Lunasol video, although it's from the 2008 summer collection. You can't really see the colours well, but if you understand Cantonese, they give a pretty good tutorial.

In other non-makeup related news, I found out I have one of the crappiest work schedule EVER. I'm one of the few teachers who are kinda neglected or feel like they're hated by the school. I have to be there from 8:30am-4:30 every single f-ing day except Christmas. I'm basically owned by the school since signing the contract. It's ridiculous how I have to be there when it's only going to be the janitors and maybe 1-2 teachers. There are no classes so I'll be sitting on my ass the whole day doing nothing. I thought I'd at least get a few days off.
The school isn't even going to serve lunch so I hope Tim will be bringing me food. It's like things can't get any worse already...
Oh right it did...a few days ago the lightbulb in the washroom literally exploded. Good thing it was still inside the glass cover. The landlord told me and Tim it was our problem, so wtf is that 70000won maintanence fee doing??? After much complaining, the landlord finally helped us get the metal piece out and replaced the lightbulb.

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, YAY!! Tim and I are going to Outback and pigging out then we're gonna eat a Baskin Robbins ice cream cake. I must show you pictures when I get it tomorrow, the cakes are SO cute.

Happy Holidays!!
