FOTD: Punk’s Not Dead MET Gala 2013 Inspired Look

It has been awhile since I posted a face of the day look. My last look I think was last March 2013 and for that I apologize. It’s just that I haven’t done anything new lately and when I do put on makeup I don’t have enough time to take decent pictures for an FOTD. But today I was inspired by the MET Gala 2013 and their Punk themed party. I was inspired by the 1980′s punk inspired look and it’s very edgy and fun and I like it.

The key for the MET Ball 2013 Punk:Chaos to Couture looks were the teased bouffants and charcoal-rimmed eyes. While burning red lips or nude lips were the favorite lipstick colors for the night.

Wearing Red Lipstick: Miley Cyrus, Gwen Stefani, Crsitina Ricci, Madonna, and Rose Huntington-Whitley

L’Oreal Paris Fall Repair 3x Shampoo & Conditioner Review

My hair has uncannily grown very thin and brittle since the first time I had a rebond treatment.  I have hair fall everyday of my life.  In fact I can collect  a handful of hair after each bath time.   It’s scary really and I think more than stress it is because my hair had gone weak because of all the damaging treatments I put it through.   When I received the L’Oreal Paris Fall Repair 3x Shampoo and Conditioner I told myself I will put it to test and hope that there will be less hair fall each time I use it.

L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Lipstick Review

Red, Pink and Nude are my three favorite and basic lipstick shades .  I wear nude on daytime events or when doing errands, I use pink or red on a nighttime event or when I think my outfit is too plain and I need to add some oomph to my look.  So, when I got another super cool package from L’Oreal  with their latest lipstick inside I tried them on right away!   I was planning to buy a couple of these L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Lipstick because I’ve seen reviews and ads and I can’t stop but admire the beautiful highly pigmented lips I’ve seen wearing it,plus I love the pretty gold packaging too!

L’Oreal Paris EverStrong Sulfate-Free Fortify System Hair Care Line Review

I’ve been hearing a lot about sulfate-free shampoo but have not got the time to go over a beauty store to look for it.   So when I got this package of L’Oreal Paris EverStrong Sulfate-Free Fortify System Hair Care Line  product from L’Oreal Paris Philippines, I was so happy!  It was a great timing too because I just had my hair colored and treated.

Product Info:
According to the press info included in the package sent to me, the L’Oreal Paris EverStrong line is meant for over styled hair using hair styling tools like hair dryer, hair iron and curling iron. It protects the hair from the heat from heat infused styling tools by coating the hair strand. The new EverStrong Sulfate-Free Fortify System™ contains L’Oréal’s patented Bio-Ceramide complex, which strengthens hair after just one wash. EverStrong Hydrate Shampoo gently cleanses and nourishes dry hair to leave it strong and silky. Rich lather and natural aromatic properties from rosemary and juniper help energize and invigorate the senses. EverStrong Reconstruct Conditioner gently nourishes frizzy, damaged hair, leaving it strong and silky. EverStrong Deep Replenishing Masque is an intensive, rich treatment that deeply nourishes and strengthens leaving hair strong and silky.

L;Oreal Ever Strong Line
What I think of the L’Oreal Paris Ever Strong Sulfate-Free Line

  • The best thing about the line is that it is sulfate free and it makes my hair color like new even if I had it more than a month now.
  • The product is said to make the hair stronger and withstand the harshness of styling tools like hair dryer, hair iron, and curling iron.  Well, I can say I had less hair fall after using this product for a week or so.

What I think about the EverStrong Hydrate Shampoo:

L'Oreal Ever Strong Sulfate-Free Shampoo

  • I did not like the smell of the shampoo, it smells like hair chemicals that you usually encounter at hair salons.
  • It lathers well.
  • But sadly using the shampoo alone makes the hair very dry.
  • I did like that it made my hair color last longer as it does not make my hair color fade fast.

What I think about the EverStrong Reconstruct Conditioner:

L'Oreal Ever Strong Sulfate Free Conditioner

  • The conditioner smells better than the shampoo
  • It makes the hair very soft and smooth and very moisturized.
  • Best to use the conditioner together with the shampoo for best result.

What I think about the EverStrong Deep Replenishing Masque:

L'Oreal Ever Strong Deep Replenishing Mask

  • This one smells the best among the rest in this hair care line.
  • Use an ample amount of the mask on your hair once a week at lest to make your hair stronger, soft and smooth
  • It also makes the hair look shinny.

Do I recommend it?
You have to buy all four to get the best result but if not you can do away with just the deep replenishing masque that you can use once a week to give your hair the regular hair care treatment it needs. It makes hair strong, soft and smooth and it smells good.

How about you, have you tried L’Oreal Paris EverStrong Sulfate-Free Fortify System Hair Care Line yet?

Stay gorgeous everyone!

My Summer Essentials: What I Pack When Travel

Those who follow my instagram and twitter account already have a sneak preview of my summer 2013 travel essentials.  But for those who don’t or want a detailed info about everything I just shared on my social network sites here are the things I pack with me when I go to the beach for a couple of days minimum of 2 nights!

Summer Makeup Essentials
Yes, I still wear makeup on the beach, but as minimal as possible.  This year I discovered a couple new products that is so perfect for outdoors.

My #summer2013 #makeup essentials #summerlook

What they are from L-R:

  • Super red lipstick that is long lasting, semi-matte yet moisturizing even under the sun. My current favorite is the Maybelline New York Colorsensational Lipstick in Red Revival (645)
  • Revlon Age Defying with DNA Advantage Concealer to hide my nasty mark on my left cheeks.
  • Ponds BB Cream Whitening Expert. This one stays put and make me look fresh all day even if dead tired and super exposed to the sun. I love the fact that it doesn’t make me look greasy or shinny!
  • K-Palette Lasting 2Way Eyebrow Pen ad the Real Lasting Eyebrow 24H. It’s liquid type and helps you draw softly colored and long-lasting line.
  • Laura Mercier Graphic Liquid Liner
  • ArtDeco All in One Mascara Volume Styling Long Lasting and an eyelash curler!

 

Summer Skincare and Hair Care Essentials
Too much sun exposure is bad. It’s not just sunburn but it may cause skin cancer and/or make your skin age faster. Better protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun by packing a good amount of sunscreens and sunblock. Keep the skin and hair moisturized as well by packing day and night creams lotions and hair serums!

My #summer2013 #skincare and #haircare #essentials

What they are (clockwise):

  • L’Oreal Professionel Mythic Oil apply a small amount after taking a shower after swimming.
  • Kerastse Nutritive Oleo-Relax. This is the hair care product my stylist highly recommend. He said before going to the beach, I have to soak my hair overnight with this so as to prevent my hair from getting dry and frizzy after a beach trip! Just remember not to put on the scalp as it will give you dandruff!
  • L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Laser X3! I’ve been using this since I got it. I brought it to my Davao trip. So far so good! I will post my full review about these product soon.
  • Gluta-C Intense Whitening Underarm ad Bikini Skin Whitening. Need I say more?
  • Nivea Intensive Moisture Body Milk, Nivea Sun Cooling After Sun Spray, and Nivea Sun Daily Face Fluid Immediate Sun Protection Collagen Protect SPF30+PA+++.

Prostyle Fuwarie Hair Styling Mist Review

I’m very particular with hair styling product, in fact I don’t use much unless necessary.  I’m more of a hair care and hair treatment girl. I’d rather use as much as hair care and treatment product on my hair to make it healthy, shiny and bouncy in the most natural way as possible. When I got the Prostyle Fuwarie Hair Styling Mist, I was a bit hesitant to use it at first.   Honestly, I’m very happy with the present hair care and treatment products I’ve been using for more than a year now (the L’Oreal Paris Mythic Oil and the Kerastase Oleo Relax) and I had this fear of damaging my already getting better hair if I use unfamiliar hair styling products.  But of course like anything else fear of something we don’t know is the one that hinder us into discovering something good such as this hair styling mist product.

Prostyle Fuwarie Hair Styling Mist
Product Info
Prostyle Fuwarie Hair Styling Mist helps you to style and protect your hair with heat styling tools like flat iron, curling iron and hair dryer. This product originally came from Japan and is exclusively available at Beauty Bar here in the Philippines. It comes in three variants: For Airy Bob Hairstyle; For Straight and Smooth Hairstyle; For Curly Wavy Hairstyle

I got the For Airy Bob Hairstyle and the for Straight and Smooth Hairstyle

Prostyle Fuwarie Hair Styling Mist
Prostyle Fuwarie Hair Styling Mist
How to use:
According to packaging all you have to do is spray the mist on hair until slightly damp and style using your styling iron.

how to use Prostyle Fuwarie Hair Styling Mist
What I think of it:

  • I liked the fact that it makes flat hair much fuller and smoother.
  • I like that it makes my hair more shiny.
  • I love the fact that it protects the hair from the heat from the styling iron, curling iron or blow dryer and even from the sun!

with Prostyle Fuwarie Hair Styling Mist
The first time I use it I got my hair so damp so when it dried out as I styled it got a bit sticky during the entire time I was wearing the entire day. It felt like I sprayed my hair with spray net! Lesson learned: don’t get hair very wet with the mist. Just get it slightly damp as instructed and if you use the airy bob just spray on ends to achieve the curved bob ends look.

using Prostyle Fuwarie for Straight and Smooth Hairstyle
Do I recommend it?
Those who like to style their hair using heated hair styling tools will love this product the most, I will recommend that they buy this to protect their hair from heat damage.

Prostyle Fuwarie Hair Styling Mist is exclusively available at all Beauty Bar stores nationwide for Php450.00 .

How about you, have you tried this product already? How was it for you? If not, what is your favorite hair styling product?

Stay gorgeous everyone!

My L’Oreal Professionel Steam Pod Hair Revolution Experience @ Bench Fix Salon

Two of my most ultimate hair concern is brittleness and dryness.  When you have your hair rebonded, colored, or blow-dry everyday, it is most likely that the hair will get damaged and burnt.   My hair reached that super damaged condition that needed to be rescued.   When I got invited  to be one of the first try out the latest #hairrevolution by L’Oreal Professionel, using the Steam Pod technology that is only available exclusively at Bench Fix Salon in the Philippines I was quick to say yes.

Arriving at the salon, I was seated right where my name plate was located.

This was a poor shot of me at the event using my TV camera phone from Tag Mobile, I forgot my HTC Sensation at home!

Before they started our treatment, there was a short program to introduce to us, what is the L’oreal Professionel SteamPod technology and who are the people Bench Fix Salon people who are exclusively trained to use this technology here in the Philippines. Sorry! No photos either! I was in an awkward position and yup no camera! Waaaaaaaah!

After the program, the treatment begins!
