Beautylabo Creamy Ash Review

It's been a while since my last blog update. Whew! Summer is over. Time flies so fast.

Lately, I discovered another weakness I have, aside from my fondness of korean skin care and make up. I love these DIY hair coloring products and I blogged one before ~ the bubble hair color from one of my favorite korean stores.

I tried two shades already until I came across one of these japanese brands on sale for half the price. I checked the reviews and blogs and got so interested to get one and try it.
from left: 2 creamy ash and raspberry pink 
It's from Beautylabo haircolor. Not the typical bubble color that I'm used to, Beautylabo hair color is a shampoo-like do-it-yourself hair color, you let it stay for 30 minutes before washing it off, plus it comes in 8 different shades:
honey blonde, creamy ash, dark brown, candy apricot, natural black, raspberry pink, pure beige and natural blonde

The other shades are not available, and the one that I am eyeing was creamy ash. My hair color is now dark brown though under lighting it looks lighter so I am aiming a bit of a darker shade now.
The steps are easy: Just mix the 1 colorant and 2 developer. Shake it up and down and not left to right about 30 times and until the color is mixed. Put on the hand gloves and apply to dry hair from the roots.
inside the box: cream colorant, cream developer, hand gloves and hair treatment

It kinda has that a bit of a smell to me but it was manageable and only took 30-40 minutes before rinsing it off. Use the hair treatment conditioner as the final step. Even without the conditioner, my hair feels soft already after washing off because this product has almond oil and coconut w/c makes hair smoother and softer.

BEFORE:

These are all taken with room lighting and no flash.
the black roots are showing
i love this shade of brown on my hair but it just needs retouching now~



I only used 1 box and it was just enough for my hair. The other boxes are not my own, my sister bought two shades for her. ^^)~

AFTER:

Still, room lighting.
this does not look ashy for me.. just a bit darker and even...


the roots are now even
It was easy to use, affordable and it colored my hair well. As I am used to applying hair colors on my own that's why I make sure it is evenly applied as possible.

This product is a thumbs-up for me. In case I'll be buying the same product, I'll try the pure beige or raspberry pink next.

Human Heart Nature Sunflower Beauty Oil

Iv'e been hearing a lot about this beauty oil, thanks to my sister who received one before from her blog samples. But I did not use it yet until I read blogs about it.
Human Heart Nature is Philippine made and 100% natural. It is a lightweight oil and a great moisturizer for skin, hair and nails with 22 body uses – seems like it works wonders.

it has a friendly size so you can carry it anywhere~
I have been using human heart nature's day and night moisturizers and I loved them! Then I was curious to try this sunflower oil.

It does softens and lightens but may take up to weeks and months of use. Since it is naturally made, no need to worry about those paraben ingredients on this product. The expiry though is not very long and no sunscreen so it’s just perfect to use at night, maybe, to not get that greasy, oily feeling.
It can be a moisturizer for your nail cuticles and removes those frizzes on your hair as well. It can work as a face moisturizer, diminishes and lightens dark spots or pimple marks. Lightens dark under eye circles and helps removes stubborn makeup. These are just a few of its uses.

After using this oil for more than a month now, I’d say it kinda works, makes my cheeks softer and takes care of my dry and flaky skin due to sunburn last time I went to the province.

This one is definitely a must-have on my stash. ^^~

Tony Moly Haul: Foam Cleanser and Tonynail Enamel Remover ~(>.<)~

I know this is my first ever blog for this year 2015. It’s been a bit busy at work and at home and I’m glad I’m back to my blogging.

My favorite skin care boutique had their Christmas 2014 promo and the best thing to do is to get my favorites.

Here’s my Tony Moly haul.
ingredients in hangeul and english (i didnt see any parabens w/c is good)
Foam Cleanser. Not my first, definitely, this is our 2nd time using the same product. The scent is sweet and fruity clean, I always go for their Clean Dew Acerola Foam Cleanser. I am supposed to get the Blueberry this time, but it was sold out.
like almost all korean products ~ it is sealed (expire 12 months once opened)
It has a clean soft feeling and just perfect for a foam cleanser before exfoliating or moisturizing.

The regular price was around 198 php but this was discounted.

Tonynail Enamel Remover. I was curious to use this one as I have been using a different brand. This enamel remover has a light scent, not too strong. It removes the polish easily I’d say and cleans thoroughly, plus its ingredients strengthen nails but not with a squeaky, dry finish.



to avoid spilling, the cover has a stopper (cool!)
hangeul and english instructions at the back

I got this for 80 php on a discounted price.

If you’re a Tony Moly member, don’t forget to use your membership card for points. (^^)~ ‘Till my next blog.
