Free Samples from Vanish, Kotex and Systema.

090813

Hello everyone! Today is second day of Hari Raya. I didn't celebrate Hari Raya but I'm in Raya mood now. Hehe, I'm enjoying my holiday, ketupat and raya biscuits. Yummy~~ hehe

Today want to share about free sample that I received before holiday. 3 samples all together: Vanish fabric stain remover, Kotex fresh plus liner and Systema super slim tooth brush.

First sample:

I received two packs (white and pink)

I used vanish before (pink pack) to remove some of dirty stain (oil stain) on my lab coat and it is pretty effective because I just have to soak my lab coat in water (with detergent and vanish). Usually I'll soak my clothes at night (overnight) and wash them the next morning then hang to dry them. With vanish, I don't have to brush my lab coat for hours just to remove the stubborn stain. I just have to simply rub it, which save a lot of time and energy. After I soak it, the next morning I can straight away wash and hang dry it without wasting my energy and time. 

I tried pink pack before, but I haven't try white pack yet. White pack is specially for white clothes because it contain whitener inside. Since now I have free white pack of vanish to try, I think I'll use it on my lab coat next time. Hehe

Second sample:

Kotex brand new pantyliner with bacteria control function (3 pcs)

I don't know how about other girls, but sometime when weather change or hormone imbalance, I'll face all these weird odor problem during my menstrual cycle. So I have to use special cleanser to wash and clean my "V" to prevent any infection and also to get rid of those weird smell. I talk about this topic when I receive sample from Lactacyd. You can get more information regarding this topic at here. 

Since sometime I'll facing this kind of problem, I apply for Kotex Fresh Plus Liner Ultra V-care (bacteria-controled) free sample when I first saw about this product. Kotex Fresh Plus Liner had tested to successfully inhibit the growth of yeast and some bacteria in the liner, so it helps to prevent bacteria grow and thus odor. 

They are all together three types of liner from Kotex which provide bacteria control protection and two of them have extra function which designed to be breathable, and so are more comfortable to wear during menstrual cycle. These two products are called as Gentle Care (pH balance) and Fresh Plus respectively.  Gentle Care (pH balance) helps to natural our pH level while Fresh Plus contain mild natural scent.

Third sample:

systema sensitive 0.02mm tooth brush

I used to use normal cheap toothbrush since I was young until now. I didn't realize how important role of toothbrush in sensitive teeth until I read they leaflet. I always have toothache when I drink cold/ice water, and sometime when I brush my teeth, my gum will bleed. But I'm just too lazy to figure out what's wrong with my teeth and too lazy to cure it. 

Actually sensitive teeth is caused by vigorous/aggressive brushing. We might think that the harder/rougher we brush our teeth, our teeth will become more clean because we brush out all the dirt/stain which stick on our teeth. What happen is when we brush our teeth aggressively, thee outer layer of our tooth (which known as enamel) will wear off. And when enamel (tooth surface) is lost, the inner layer of tooth (or otherwise known as dentin) will be exposed. Dentin contain many microscopic narrow tubules and when the fluid in the dentin is stimulated, it'll affects the nerves and cause us pain.

So, in order to protect our teeth from damage, we should not:

1. brush our teeth vigorously
2. use hard-bristled/ abrasive toothbrush
3. eat/drink acidic food (such as lemon juice)
4. chew/bite hard object/food
5. brush our teeth with wrong technique

It is very important for us to choose the correct toothbrush based on bristles, toothbrush head and handle. Small headed toothbrush is more preferable because it can reach all areas of the mouth and hard to reach back teeth. 

Systema have:

• super slim (0.02mm) bristles 
• penetrates easily/deeply along the gum-liner and in between teeth.
• ultra soft convex turfing bristles 
• helps to control the pressure and relieve the stress on sensitive teeth and swelling gums
• fully rubberized handle
• easy to grip (more comfortable) and help to control the pressure while brushing

There all all together 5 types of products under systema: compact, comfort, full head, bi level and sensitive. All are medium soft except SENSITIVE systema (ultra soft). COMPACT has smaller head size compact to other systema toothbrush while FULL HEAD has the largest head. The rest have medium head size. 

It is best for us to choose a gentle and soft bristled brush and replace our toothbrush every 3 months. Continuously use old wear out toothbrush might contain fungus and bacteria growth. We need to brush our teeth 2 times daily (each time 2 minutes) and visit dentist every 6 months to check our teeth. So choose the correct toothbrush and toothpaste, and you no need to afraid to show everyone your beautiful smile. :)

That's all for today, alot of free samples, but the most important things is, we going to use it wisely. Hehe

Bye~~

Liese Glossy Brown review

040813

Hai everyone. Today want to share about Liese glossy Brown bubble hair dye because I dyed my hair yesterday. I couldn't take it anymore, seeing my new black hair grow out at the front, make my bang look so funny (half black half brown). So I dyed it. But I didn't dye all of my hair, mainly concentrate at the front, top of my hair, and little bit at the bottom, so that my hair won't look like rojak. Hehe

I didn't snap before picture, because last minute I decide to dye my hair. Just imagine my hair like chocolate layer cake, half black half chocolate.

After I dye,

....my hair color blend nicely with my old hair color (brown)....

See, no more awkward half black half chocolate layer cake, right? Hehe.

....i like this color, look like dark chocolate with a little bit red when under the sunlight...

when under the light (indoor), my hair look like dark chocolate hair, and the reddish brown is less visible compare when under the sun or during day time.

I only use one bottle yesterday because I didn't dye lower bottom of my hair. So for those who has short hair or shoulder length hair, you only need one bottle, if your hair is longer than that, two bottle will be best. 

That's all for today. I'm having my Raya holiday now, but lecturers give so many assignments n test for us. So I have to go back to my assignment already. :( 

Sushi King at Alor Setar Mall

060713

Recently there was a Sushi King opened at Alor Setar Mall. So me n my friend went to check it out after we done our shopping.

I like to eat Japanese food but sometime I just feel that it is not worth for me to go there because of the price. Anyway, once in awhile is okay for me because I like sushi, tea, and it's environment. Hehe

I dare not to compare sushi king with sakae sushi. I just state my opinion at here. Both similar expansive, for me as a student (I don't know how about other people), food wise, I feel that sushi king is more fresh and delicious. I haven't try all the foods at there yet, it is just my personal opinion. So please don't take it serious.

So, below are the photos of that day:

We ordered mixed bento, black pepper udon, tamago maki sushi, (I forgot what they call that biscuit that I holding in the picture), one litre of green tea and matcha ice cream as desert. 

All together cost us RM 35.60, including government tax and service tax. Not bad, because we felt very full on that day. The most important thing was I get to spend time with my friend that we haven't meet since after CNY until now. Hehe

So...go try okay? Hehe.

How to temporary highlight your hair with different colors?

080713

Hello Monday~ This is second week of my semester break. So fast and I'm going back to hostel this Friday. Arg...2 weeks holiday seriously not enough for me to rest and I want more!!!

Last week basically it was my resting week, so I rest fully. Hehe, I mean, I seldom online, didn't touch my notes at all (because I want to temporary escape from my studies ^.^), seldom go out and etc. I spend most of my time with my family, eat, sleep and watch tv. Hehe, I gained few pounds during holiday, so now I have to control my diet to prevent further increase in my weight.

I admit it was a bit bored last week, staying at home and do nothing, so I took out color pastel that I bought from DAISO and start color the bottom part of my hair. Remember I highlight the bottom part of my hair last 2 weeks? It becomes lighter color so it is very easy for me to color my hair with the color pastel, and the effect is visible too. It depends on color that you choose and amount of water that you add to your hair during the coloring process.

I choose pink color because I always want my hair to be pink and it looks nice on Avril Lavigne. So I just give it a try.

she looks so cute and cool with this hair style.

this is how I looks with pink hair.

What I did was: 

First, I put some water at the lower end of my hair that I want to color. Just to make it slightly wet.

Next, I dig or wet the end of the pastel. (so that it'll melt or become soft; easier for the color to stick on the hair).

Then I apply pastel on my hair. Repeat this step until you satisfied. Add more water or use small amount of water to blend out the color. If you add more water (or your hair is very wet, the outcome will be lighter).

I mix light pink and dark pink so that there will be a color gradient effect but sadly it's not that obvious to see.

Finally, comb your hair so that it is smooth and let it air dry or you also can use hair dryer.

Oh ya, make sure you wear glove and clothes that you don't want because it might get a bit dirty and messy during the coloring process.

This color effect will last as long as your hair is far away from water. If you want to remove it, simply wash it away with water. :)

So...this is how it looks closely on my hair.

You can try different colors too. You can mix more than one color on your hair if you feel that one color is not enough to make you to look cool. Hehe. It is fun and creative to play with our hair. I tried blue and green before I choose pink and blue is quite nice for my hair too.

But one thing about this pastel is, after it dry, my hair becomes very dry and very hard to comb because it tingle easily. I guess this color pastel is not suitable for long term use as it might damage our hair.

I guess it is only suitable for temporary highlight, just to look cool in front of everyone, I don't mind my hair to be dry for one day. After the event or outing, I'll try to 'rescue' my hair by doing hair treatment or something. Ya, I know, I'm so HOPELESS. Hehe

Okay, That's all for today. Bye~

Thursday Plantation - Tea tree lotion

020713

I have been using this Tea Tree lotion for months and I would like to share with you guys about it's effect. Few months back I receive this free sample (75mL Tea Tree lotion) from Thursday Plantation. I used it everyday since that day and I'm happy with it's rapid effect. After you apply it, immediately the dryness on your hands (or skin at other part of your body) will disappear. 

This lotion gives my palms (normally I'll apply on my hands) smooth effect and it lasts for hours. I'll apply it when I free (sometimes I just too busy to remember to apply all this product) and everynight after bath before I go to bed. 

One thing about this product is its smell. It smell like tea tree....(smell exactly like the T9 pimple gel kind of smell). Some people might not like that smell, but for me its just fine. For the price, I saw it in some of the pharmacy and the selling price is RM 49.90. A little expansive for body lotion but seriously it is effective. 

It contain natural and organic ingredients, and without any artificial preservative and synthetic coloring and fragrances. 

Try this if you looking for a product to relieve skin dryness and mild itchiness. 

Use the products which is suitable to your skin so that your skin feel good for it and so do you!

V for tea tree products~ ^.^

Gatsby EX HI-Bleach review

030713

Today I want to share about Gatsby EX HI-Bleach that I used last week. I bought it at Watson, cost around RM 24++. I wanted to highlight lower part of my hair so that it looks like ombre effect, but because of my current hair color is quite yellow, so the outcome is not that obvious but I still happy with the result. Hehe

Inside the box you will found powder, cream and liquid bleaching agent. First you need to mix powder in the liquid, shake well then add cream into the mixture and shake well again. Easy right?

One bottle is enough for highlight purpose. I couldn't finish one whole bottle after I finished dye my hair and my bf hair. If you want to dye all your hair, one bottle is only sufficient for shoulder length hair. Long hair like me will need two or three bottle.

Before I dye my hair...

After I dye my hair...

under normal light...

under sunlight...my hair looks extreme orange under sun light, so the gradient effect is not that obvious. =.="

Effect on virgin black hair ( meaning black hair that never undergo color process before, hehe)

 

sorry I have to cover his naughty face... hehe

After hair dye, this bleaching agent didn't affect my hair very much. I didn't face problem such as slip end or hair dry problem, I guess it is because of my hair originally already dry and fizzy, so the bleaching agent didn't  give much different to my hair. Hehe. But my bf did complained to me that his hair become dry and tingle a lot (he felt difficult to comb his hair) and he not very happy with the color because he expect for more brighter color.

As a conclusion, overall the bleaching effect is good. This product bleach my hair well, and it didn't damage my hair very much too. During hair coloring process, this product didn't give too much of bad smell (like the normal hair dye product gives strong ammonia smell), it gives quite presence but strong smell. 10 to 20 minutes is sufficient to see it's effect, unless you want lighter color, then you can leave it up to 30 minutes. But  it shouldn't more than 30 minutes, or else it might damage your hair.

The remaining of the mixture have to throw away because it is explosive. I leave it on the table and after 3 hours, there was lots of bubble coming out from the bottle....non stop. I got scared so immediately I wash away all the balance and discard the bottle.  

Shopping and get free gift from SASA~

270613

Finally I finished all my final exam. I felt so happy because finally I can sleep early and no need to be stress anymore. Last few days the sky was kind of hazy but   still we wear mask and went to shopping at Timesquare, Pavillion, Midvalley and many other place. Hehe

We bought few things at Timesquare such as cup. Recently cup is kind of latest trend because I saw a lot of people wearing cup and looks cool to me, so I bought a cup too. It has sesame face on it, very cute. Hehe

Then I bought a red skirt and sleeve-less shirt. Oh ya, I also get a 3-in-1 honey facial mask from SASA.  I think it is a brand new product from Sasatinie. Inside it has 3 pieces of mask for face, eyes, and neck. It contains honey, hyaluronic acid, collagen and vitamin C, which are good to moisturizing and regenerating our skin after so many days stay up for study and coffee. Hehe

I haven't try it out yet, but if it's outcome is good, for sure I'll share about it. Hehe

That's all for today. See ya~
