Hair Products

Remember how I said my hair is falling out more than usual in Korea? Well, Mika from Beauty Snap had sent me some samples of hair products that included the Fekkai Protein Rx hair treatment. I tried it out and the next day I noticed less hair fall out.

Once I got back to Canada, I immediately went to Sephora and grabbed a bottle. It cost me $94CAD after tax for the 125mL bottle (wow!), but I think it's worth it. Besides, if it starts to fail, I can always return it XD

The Protein Rx is a leave in "protein treatment" and you apply it all over your hair just before you sleep, then you wash it out in the morning. It's like a thick cream that absorbs very quickly into the hair so it doesn't get all over the pillows. I don't know if I can describe the smell properly haha, but it smells a bit like sweet coconut and milk.
I've used it at least 6 times already and even though I still have a few fall outs, there's way less than when I was in Korea. Besides less hair fall out, I think this is totally helping my hair get stronger because I recently dyed it.

The orange tube is the Marc Anthony hair thickener. It saw 2 tubes in the washroom when I came back. I think this might have come from the shampoo/conditioner sets from Costco.
I used to use this product a long time ago, but stopped because it was too sticky and didn't really do anything for my hair. Now I think the formula has changed because it's not as thick and is easier to rub into the hair.
It works a bit for me because it helps make my hair thicker, but volume wise, it's not really that noticable. Still, it helps, I need all the volume/thickening I can get.

After spending days cleaning my room, it's still not really organized yet, but here's my new vanity table from Ikea. The drawer is enough to hold all my makeup and fit everything on top!

Busy busy, going back to clean my room again. I was slacking a lot on room cleaning and blogging. The past 3 days, I spent at Tim's house playing Resident Evil 5, and we beat it yesterday puhaha.

Koji Curlers

This is long over due. Sorry I haven't got the time to reply or catch up on blogs, but I will try to post some more things for you to read =)
I got a new lash curler while in Hong Kong. I saw it on a display at Log-On (City's Super) and it's supposed to be the newest curler by Koji. It was highly recommended by a Japanese magazine, I think Spring?? I got this for about $125HKD.


The curler that I used to use is the pink one with the spring inside. (picture from Adambeauty) For those of you who don't know, when you press the handles together, they pop back into place so you don't have to open it yourself. Seems kinda like the lazy way of curling lashes.



So what's special about these curlers? Nothing really for the old pink spring one that I used, the new one however, is supposed to have a new design to curl your lashes in a special way.

Before I tell you how the new Koji curler does its work, here's a comparison of both the curlers. You can see on the left side, the curler is not as rounded as the spring curler on the right. This alone sells it for me because the old curler didn't fit my eye properly, sometimes I nip my eyes. Ouch! With the old curler, I always had to curl my lashes before I did my eye makeup because it would smudge everything due to the poor fitting.
The new Koji curler fits my eye shape perfectly that I can curl my lashes after doing my eye makeup without smudging anything. But, the best part of the curler is the design.

Since I don't have a picture of the back of the Koji box I'll have to tell you why it's so good. If you look at most curlers, you'll see that the front of it is relatively straight across, but the new Koji curler isn't straight. Instead, the ends curve down allowing the curler to hold onto as many lashes as possible and curl them in a fan shape. It also doesn't smush all your lashes together and it kind of separates them as you curl. Do you get it? Haha, that's the best I can explain without the packaging. If you look at the picture, you can kinda see what I mean.

For me, this is a brillant curler because I'm able to curl more lashes than the old one, plus it fits my eye!
You can purchase this on Bobodave for $20USD.
If you speak Cantonese, watch this YT vid to see how the curler works.

Back Home

Hey everyone! Didya miss me!? XD
I'm finally back home in Toronto. I got home last Saturday and this whole week has been non stop cleaning! I don't know how I managed to fit everything into the tiny room in Korea with Tim because I'm having such a hard time organizing everything.
I probably won't be around to catch up on blogs and commenting until I get everything settled down, but I miss everyone! =)

I got the new Lunasol palette from the Incheon Airport duty free, it was only $39USD. This is Dazzling Night 03. The lighting isn't very good in my room unless it's daytime, but I'm sure most of you know what the colors look like.
