New color, awful color

This afternoon I had to go to a salon to color my hair. I requested for the darker brown tone but looks like she didn't give me what I wanted. I'm so disappointed.

See my new hair color. It's a bit reddish to me. I don't like it cuz I wanted it brown. I'm upset cuz the color was, for me, a stand-out hue. I feel that my hair color looks artificial. I said I purposely want it brown cuz I know that it will blend well on my skin tone, it will look like the color was inborn on me. Not that! I even said to almost everybody that I look like a kpop idol. You know, if you see youngsters in Korea who are in boy and girl groups, most of the time that color is what they have. Great to them, awful to me.

I deep breathe in and out as I type this to see the good and not dwell in what's bad. As I briefly contemplated, I say that maybe this meltdown is just an initial reaction, that in the coming days I'll see the beauty of this hair color, finally.  Why don't I give it a rest for awhile before I tantrum? But I'm just scared that I'll find it hard to let people see me having this ugly hair color. You know that people can be terribly blunt sometimes, I'm sensitive that's why I kinda worry on how will I take them.

Anyway, it's not only the hair color I'm mad about, also the amateurish way the color was distributed on my hair. I think that the color is more on top of my head and less on the half until to the ends of my hair. OMG! that's not normal to me. I'm a classic. I don't experiment much on anything, especially on my crown and glory.

Okay, fine. I won't explode much anymore, I'll let it sit on my hair for a week before I rant again. I'll inform the hairdresser about her unsatisfactory work after a week of no improvement on my comment.

You know the only consolation I have on my hair is its shininess. Ultimate Shine of Lush is really fab.

Lush from yesterday

I'm back to give you my thoughts on the two Lush items I told you about last night. It's just this morning when I took a bath that I've finally used the products. I say that Honey I Washed The Kids is  guaranteed recommendable for you if you shop in their store. I swear, you'll gonna miss something in your life if you went to Lush and forget to buy that soap. It's not only me who gave a remarkable reaction to the soap, almost each and everyone who tried it. Now I understand how they feel, they didn't lie to the readers. As far as I know, the soap can be cut into small pieces depending on the size you wanna use when you take a bath. Me, I didn't bother cutting, I just used the chunk as it is. The scent is not strong, actually it's gentle and sweet. It's the smell of honey that you'll sniff on the soap and on your body. I also scent something creamy as I smell myself while I write this entry--- I just can't tell if that's still honey or the other ingredients. In the soaping part during my bath, I saw that the soap isn't so bubbly or foamy like any other soaps around. I don't have a problem with that, what's important is that, after rinse, I like that the feel of my body is clean-dry. You know the sound of a clean plate when you rinse it and then kinda scratch the center with your fingertip? You'll have that sound close to that with this soap, which I also like. You know me, I don't like to use a soap that after rinse I still feel like the soap is still on my body. I understand that it's a moisturizing soap but it doesn't matter. One product that I'm talking about is Dove. I used it once then never again. What I also like with that Lush soap is that the scent remains with you after bath, right now I could still smell, Honey I Washed The Kids on me, which is one of my qualifications for a perfect soap. However, I still couldn't determine if that's my number one soap at present cuz part of me keeps saying that Dei Colli Fiorentini Tuscan Lavander soap holds that spot in my heart.

And how about the solid shampoo? Ah! that's the Ultimate Shine. Sure it can really make your hair shiny like you had your cellophane treatment at a salon. But my problem is, it made my hair a little tangle-prone after bath and in the process of combing them. Now that my hair is air-dry, I see that they're shiny but dull. I'm kinda uncomfortable to feel my hair right now, with all honesty. Maybe the Sunsilk Co-creation Smooth and Manageable Shampoo (the pink bottle), is better. I can't conclude my thoughts on this solid shampoo this way (at least for now) since I still have more shampooing times to go. Anyway, talk about the scent,  I don't smell it on my hair right now. I mean, there's a teeny weeny touch of scent to your hair when you sniff them but it's not overwhelming in a good or bad way. I don't know to you, but as for me, I like that my hair is obviously scented--- better if that never wears off for days. Since I don't smell anything, I wish that for the rest of the day my hair won't stink, cuz if it does, it's a crime comitted to me.

Shop stuff

Finally, I get to shop almost all the items that I wanted. I'm so happy, although not so satisfied but enough not to frown. When will I have my own Lush haul? I actually dream of having an entry that's all about my Lush shopping ever since I learned about the awesomeness of their products. The brand has numerous followers around the world, and most of them they make their own Lush haul, I kinda got envious so I said I want to have my own version too. Awhile ago, me and mom went to Lush in Glorietta, I have all the items in mind, but when we're there, I saw that not everything I planned to buy are available. The seller said that what I'm looking for are out of stock. In the end, I only got two soaps, one is for bath and the other is a solid shampoo. I'll let you see them later on, I'll include in this entry all the items I purchased today.

There's still more, alright. I also visited the Skin Food stall in SM Makati to look for the colors of nail polish that caught my eye through their website. I wish to buy about three nail polish there, but I only have one from the choices in that stall. What I wanted, they don't have stocks. But that's just fine cuz the color I really wanna wear for this week is the color I bought from there.

Yippie! the ice cream I crave for is finally served. Not that the ice cream is my main target but the Reese's chocolate that's its flavor. If you can remember, I mentioned before that I'm super mouthwatering that day for that chocolate, it's just today that we get to buy my request. I wasn't upset that I had to wait for this long cuz I know mom will soon provide. Today is the day I'm talking about. There's a reason for cheers!....so CHEERS!





Okay now, before I wrap this night, I'll leave you with some pictures I took for you to see my Lush items as well us my new colored-fingernails.

Told you, I only got two items that cost me for just over Php800. What are they?

This is the most popular (as far as I know), Honey I Washed The Kids. I think you should try it too, the smell is so great. I'll tell you the effect on me of this soap next time. And,

 

Ultimate Shine. Obviously, the product will make your hair shine, I mean glossier, like that. I'll tell you  if it will shine very well on my hair, but that's going to be on my next blog post.

Lastly, the time now to show you the color of my nail polish for the week. See now? Since it's summer, it's just perfect for the season. Plus, I'm more appreciative of bright colors lately, that it didn't become impossible for me to want to have this orange-ee color for this week. Yes, it's bright, it's cute and makes you feel younger. That's how I feel, maybe you'll feel the same when you color your nails with that hue like mine.

Things to buy

It's the beginning of the month today, and I wanna go buy some skin care products after shift.

My aimed products will be the following:
1. Suave sun-ripened strawberry- Shampoo and conditioner
2. Pond's gold radiance- serum
3. Neutrogena deep clean- facial cleanser
4. Collagen (something) product
5. Athena- powdered milk

Okay, five items to me is already a lot. I'm gonna burn my money instantly for sure.  Hmm I think I'll save an amount for myself. Maybe the next time we go to the grocery store that will be the time I'll get a hold of the products I might not purchase yet. Yeah, yeah, that's the plan.
