First Bleaching Experience @ Hair Fancier Da:men USJ

As a new year starts, and with Chinese New Year being around the corner, a new look is like a must to have for that new fresh start. Besides, I had been dying to bring my hair experience to a whole new level since 2015 and what other better time to revamp my look.

The experience was honestly an unscheduled event as I was out scouting for a hair saloon with my boyfriend for just a simple haircut and maybe a full-head promotion dye until I stumble upon HairFancier at Da:men USJ.

INTRODUCTION
Hair Fancier is more than just a conventional hair saloon that does cuts, trim, and hair styling. They started off as a scalp treating company that later extended into a hair saloon. Though they do agree that hair dyes and other hair chemicals are bad for the scalp that would often lead to unhealthy hair growth at a later time, they believe that their treatments are able to allow people to continue to enjoy beautiful hair look while having a healthy scalp. So, do not be afraid if they suddenly do a scalp analysis and starts offering scalp treatments or solutions.

They have over 7 branch opened around Klang Valley and Johor.

EXPERIENCE
My entire makeover took at least 9 hours within the time span of 2 days as I started it on a Saturday evening. It was meant to finish within a day but due to my previous red hair dye that was still inside my hair cuticles, Jxtein (my hairstylist) had a hard time removing the pigments off my hair as a usual 2-3 bleaching process was insufficient. So, I ended up bleaching my hair 4 times. They wanted to bleach one more time as my hair was still a little yellow-ish, orange (you can see from the picture above) but they were afraid that if they do so, my hair will literally snap.

After harshly removing every pigments on my hair and applying the color dye, this is my new look!


It was meant to be a grey tone ombre however, due to the failure to completely remove the remaining colors in my hair, the end result became ash grey ombre (with a little violet hue, I can't really see it, but I have been getting that over the past few days when I am under sunlight).

VERDICT
I would definitely come back and visit them again as Jxtein was really good. My current haircut was solely recommended by her based on my hair condition of high forehead and hair thinning. Though the hair dye result was not the exact color that I wanted, I still like it as it still looks good on me! The only downfall to it is that, I should had opt for a full head, one color instead of an ombre but nevertheless, it was a great experience.

PINK by Pure Beauty Watsons Product Launch [Review]

Pure Beauty has launched yet another range of skincare product known as PINK at Sunway Pyramid's Hello Kitty Gourmet Cafe in the month of November 2015 with Stevensunny sharing with us his secrets and tips to K-Grooming.

PINK by Pure Beauty is probably one of Pure Beauty's latest products that has an extremely addictive bubblegum-like scent (stay tune to find out which product it is). Like most of Pure Beauty's sister products, this range continues to stay true towards promoting a Korean skin complexion with an added touch of pink to the skin as the color pink on skin is often associated as a healthy looking skin (not the pimples or blemishes kind of pink that some of you might have in mind).

In order to provide its user that pinkish glowing skin, PINK by Pure Beauty uses a unique combination of PhytoCellTec Alps Rose with Pink Flower Capsule and active whitening ingredients which would supply sufficient moisture to the skin for the brightening and glowing look.

The PINK range consist of 4 (FOUR) products:


1) so fresh ESSENCE WATER - THE TONER
Don't get confuse by its name as the essence water works exactly like a toner. The only difference to it is that its property concentration is high like its Essence yet, it is lightweight as it is water based. It is always best to use toners with a cotton pad however, the Essence Water can be applied without a cotton pad, just spray either on your hand or face and pat to dry (this method is only recommended for those with really dry skin).

2) so smooth PUDDING CREAM - THE MOISTURIZER
This product is probably its best-selling product in the market store as the scent of it is just so addictive. The scent really makes you feel like eating it though everyone knows what will happen to them if they do. Aside from its highly attractive scent, the Pudding Cream has a light-pink hue gel-like texture that glides smoothly and emits a cooling sensation upon application.

Unfortunately, I was not able to determine the level of moisturizing and its sensitivity level on my skin as the Pudding Cream was only available during the event as testers but not a bring-it-home and try it yourself thus, I was only able to test it out on my hands which I often find it less accurate as my hands are not as sensitive and moisturizing as my face. However, I believe the Pudding Cream is suitable for users that has normal to dry skin type as it was not in anyway near oily (over moisturizing).

3) so BLUR CREAM - THE TREATMENT
A poreless complexion is like an obsession for every girl and many Korean brands knows that, including Pure Beauty (click here to know more about pores). The Blur Cream is said to minimizes the pores size thus leading the skin to look poreless, moist and translucent.

I personally do not fancy creams that targets towards minimizing pores as it is a long-term results and normal camera as well as our eyes are not able to see the differences. However, I do fancy the fact that it causes my pores to feel less clogged whenever I put on foundation. This makes it a great makeup base.


4) so fresh ESSENCE - THE TREATMENT
Just like every other Essence in the market, this product works the same. Upon application of the Pudding Cream, use the Essence for that extra "lock" moisture. This would make the skin glow due to sufficient hydration. If you have oily skin, avoid using this as it would cause your face to experience breakout. However, do give it a try as the level of moisture "lock" is uncertain as I was not able to test it out as my daily skincare regimen.

SUMMARY
In all honesty, I am definitely attracted to its packaging names as well as the Pudding Cream's scent. These are the only two main reasons why I would actually purchase them on my next store visit. Aside from that, on general perspective, the range does not entice me that much as the box lacks in information such as its suitability of skin type.


PRICE
Pudding Cream (50ml): RM39.90
Essence (30ml): RM49.90
Essence Water (200ml): RM39.90
Blur Cream (30ml): RM52.90
