Hat,Cat,Gradeschool Friends!

Hi guys, I just want to blog about my hat LOL!~ Anyway, its really cute I bought it for only $5+. And I really think that I am loving straw hats now, they're really cute!

I've been really sad lately because my cat Pepper is acting strange, she isn't as energetic as quite as she was before. I really don't know what's wrong. We've already taken her to her doctor and the doctor said that we must stimulate her energy by giving vitamins and water and all. If after 3 days her condition does not improve, they're gonna run a blood test on her. :(

Few days ago me and my grade school friends had a mini meet/reunion. It was really fun! I must say I love my grade school friends more than my high school friends because of the special bond we have. I miss them already! :)
This is Janelle, she's an old friend of mine we were like best friends during grade school and she came all the way from Canada for a vacation and to see us. I was so excited to see her. :D
In case you're wondering why a random post? XD It's because I'm testing the new layout. LOL

How to: Glam Cat Makeup

Hello, its been a long while since my last makeup tutorial LOL. Here's another newby makeup tut that I just came up. It's really easy to do except for the eyeliner part-which might take some practice to apply it the right way.

First, we start off by exfoliating the face, give it a good scrub to get rid of the dead skins and then moisturize! Now we have a clean face to start on:
Apply BB Cream or any foundation, take your time to blend well.

And then set the BB Cream/Foundation with translucent powder!
Emphasize the eyebrows.
Gold eye shadow, I applied it with my finger lols.
Next is the eyeliner, just line the top of your eyes extending it just slightly upward.
Make it as thick as you prefer. And then line the bottom of your eyes then smudge with q tip.

I used these falsies to create a more catlike effect. xD They're love~
Blush on!
I used two lipsticks for the lips. One is a paler pink and then i applied a brighter pink on the center of my lips for more dimension and interesting lips.
And I think its finished!
Picture Spam time~
Oh yeah and hair color update after Palty jewelry ash and beauty mauve. The color is still pretty!

Hair Dye! Using 2 boxes of Palty this time..:)

This is my first time trying Dariya Palty hair dye, its a Japanese brand hair dye and its very popular to Asians. It's permanent but it also washes out slowly and eventually just like any other permanent hair dyes.

So its been exactly a month since I colored my hair with Revlon Colorsilk Luminista Medium Blonde the brassiness calmed down a little but its still quite orange. So now, I want to try new color.

I'm dyeing my hair with Palty Jewelry Ash + Palty Beauty Mauve. Different colors, yeah... long story xD. I heard purplish tint helps get rid of the brassiness. So I'm gonna show you how I did it. I'm not an expert when it comes to hair dyeing but I love to experiment hehe.

These are the items that are inside the box. The manual is useless because its all written in Japanese, but I found a translated one on the internet.
This is the color guide for Jewelry Ash
This is the color guide for Beauty Mauve
And let's start mixinggg!~

You will need a big bowl or a plastic container and a hair color brush thingy.
I put cream #1 (Jewelry Ash and Beauty Mauve)
Mix 2 creams with the hair coloring brush, mix very very well. Take your time.

Pour the #2 cream peroxide bottles.
And start mixing again. I was gonna use a wire whisk but it might end up like a whipped cream lolz. Just mix mix mix!
And we're done, set aside for a while.

Before dying your hair, its really better to not shampoo/wash your hair 1 dayAdd Image before you dye it.
We need the natural oils of the hair to protect the scalp and hair from becoming too damaged. And I heard that the hair will absorb the color better if its not freshly washed. And you need a tshirt dedicated for hair dying that's if you're like me who hates just covering with towel and its really annoying.

These are the before photos!
Roots and brassy~
I left the dye on for 35 minutes exactly. The dye got really strong purple tones. It stained my shirt purple lol.
After washing and drying!
I think its pretty even and it colored my roots well.

More before and after comparison.
(Sorry for my bare face, I don't usually put makeup on when I dye my hair LOLZ)

I like it~ My hair came out a little darker than before but its less brassy now and the color is subtle yet pretty. I must say it left an ashy color on my hair which I like and I wish it should've came out really ashy. Oh well~ but I like it! XD

Dariya Palty hair dye

Cons:
More expensive than regular box dyes.
Hard to get hold of. Usually by pre-orders, or the shade you want is not available, etc.
Strong ammonia smell

Pros:
Hair did not feel so damaged.
Somehow the color results came out similar to the color guide on the box.
Cute packaging? LOL

Will I buy again?

Absolutely. I'm debating between professional hair dye Topchic or Palty next or Liese. xD

Hope you find my post useful~

Beach Waves Hair! No Damage and No Heat!

I know there are a lot other similar techniques used by other people, but this is the technique that I use whenever I want to get Beach Wavy hair next morning. So this is an overnight technique. But this can also be achieved beautifully in 3 hours.

First thing to do is to make sure you have shampooed and conditioned your hair.
Then dry it, or leave it slightly damp.
And then braid your hair into pigtails. I really don't know how to do the normal braid as my braid come up inverted as you can see. xD You have to start at the top if you want the waves to start at the top of your hair.
And then secure the braids with elastics. In my case, I slept with my braids overnight.
Braids don't have to be too perfect or parted perfectly so don't make too much effort making it look good unless you want to wear it out as a hairstyle xD.

I don't have results picture immediately after taking off the braids, they're pretty wavy and really cute. These are my photos after 3 hours, my hair look like its naturally wavy xD
Don't forget to apply styling cream/clay/mousse if you like. :)
