New Hair Tools! Vidal Sassoon & Remington, Urban Colour One Coat Nail Polish

Hello Ladies! I'm so excited to share my new babies my mom gave me! You guys know how much I'm into my hair right? Well look at these pretty ones, aren't they lovely?

Hair Tools:



The colors! Oh my, how lady-like.. :) Don't get me wrong, I loved my JML Flat Iron's performance but Remington's oh-so-good.

Remington Flat Iron - Heats up in less than 30secs, a little bit scary to use because it has a tendency to damage your hair big time. I just run it once or twice and that's it. It doesn't have buttons where you can control the temperature and I dont like the fact that the opening's not wide. I'm having a hard time ironing my hair in chunks coz it wouldn't fit. Do you guys know if there's a lock or something? Also, I like the fact that it is light and suitable for traveling. I can carry it around with me :)

Vidal Sassoon Curling Iron - I love this one, heats up in no time and you can control its temperature in a range of 1 to 30. It also has a brush included to make big and wavy curls :)

Vidal Sassoon Hair Dryer/Blower - I like its cool blow feature if you want to hasten your drying process but the cons are; it only has two heat options (compare to my old pink one with three options) and I can't fold it like my old dryer which I carry around when I'm traveling. It feels sturdy and it has a free shower comb that's huge and matches its color.


Nail Polish: Urban Colour One Coat Nail Polish




I originally have eleven (11) bottles but I ended up sharing it with my sister Chaye since my nail polish collection is at my Mom's place (I live at my Dad's). I'm trying to build a new collection here so I don't have to borrow certain colors every now and then when I need it.

I tried the mint green color first and fell in love with it! My workmate even complimented the color :) It took me three coats to achieve my desired color though, but it's understandable because the color is very light. I'm currently wearing the hot pink and it's way pigmented! One coat is indeed enough but I still put on two coats coz I like it thicker.

Everything came from my Mom and her loving Hubby. I appreciate everything, thanks!

Much love, Nei.

Garnier Light Line

Ah, how I miss writing.. I've been very busy lately because of work. So far it's okay, we're not yet passing through the hardest part of the process but we're getting there. I'm currently typing this entry while waiting for my nail polish to dry haha.

Since December last year, I've been using Garnier Light's Brightening Eye Roll-On and Milky Lightening Dew that works as their toner and I'm very happy with it, I never had a break out which I had with their Light Complete Whitening Cream. I actually have no plans of posting this on my blog but little did I know, opportunity knocked on my door ;)

The company I'm working with gave free samples of Garnier Light Whiten & Protect Moisturizing Cream, Light Complete Whitening Cream and Gentle Clarifying Foam Wash so I decided to post it here and make a partial review of the first two products I've mentioned.




 For Brightening Roll-On, I can't see much improvement in my dark circles for I don't have very dark ones to start with.. Maybe I just like putting it on as a part of my skin routine :) dries fast, unscented to very minimal scent. UPDATE: this baby gave me and my sis little bumps/millia on the under eye area :( we immediately stopped using it.

For Milky Lightening Dew, all I can say is it has the weirdest texture and consistency I've ever seen haha! No break outs or redness at all. I like this one and been using it to lighten my acne scars on my cheeks. I'm using the Foam Wash and Moisturizing Cream right now and let's see where this goes. Still using my Yves Rocher at night though and Celeteque wash regularly.

Short post is better than nothing. Thanks for reading and have a great day bellas ;)
