When it comes to DIY hair dye, I am always on the lookout for easy, nature-looking and non-toxic hair dyes. I have been yearning to have a change of hair colour for a while now, and feel like it would be safer to stay home and dye my hair instead of heading out to a saloon.

I have never carry any permanent permed or curled hairstyle in my life, I believe maintaining them can get quite a handful. But girls being girls, we dress to occasions and I'm not an exception. Once in a while, I'll pick up the curling iron to create simple c-curls or small waves if I'm attending a special date or event. I'm no expert at using it, so you probably can imagine my agony when it slips out of my hand and resulted in a few painful burns and weirdly crimped locks.

When Dyson first introduced their revolutionary Airwarp in 2018, the blogosphere was filled with tutorial videos of influencers demonstrating how the product uses the air technology to suck bunches of hair into the barrel, creating curls within seconds. I was sold by this advance technology and the ease of use! But the rational me thought it wasn't wallet-friendly and so, I chucked it on my wish list and forgot about it. 1 year later, Matt surprised me with not just one Airwrap but the entire complete set on my birthday. I was grinning from ear to ear, it was definitely the best birthday present ever!

The Dyson Airwrap complete set comes with the handheld Airwrap device, a pre-styling dryer, two sets of curling barrels (30mm and 40mm) and three different brushes (firm, soft & round), all neatly placed in a tan storage case made out of PU material. The first peek into the storage box got the OCD in me screaming in happiness because the case was thoughtfully segmented so that each of the items has got their individual compartment.

Compared to the normal curling iron, the Dyson Airwrap is obviously more time saving since I don't have to wait for the barrel to heat up before use. In fact, I don't even need to dry my hair before curling it; it automatically attracts and wrap my hair around the barrel, and the hot air from within dries and heats up my hair into a curl at the same time. Definitely an innovation worth applauding for.

I frequently use the 40mm curling barrel to create big, loose curls that frame my face perfectly. My hair length is currently slightly over the shoulder, and it only takes me a maximum of 30-35 minutes to complete the curls on both sides. Some days, when I wake up with really crazy morning hair, I just curl them up and, voilà, I’m ready to head out for work.

They say, at the end of the day, confidence is the best hairstyle. I am not one to disagree, but I do believe that a perfect hairstyle will make a great confidence booster, and the Dyson Airwrap complete set is exactly the tools we need to achieve that. It has been 3 months since I received this, yet it still gets me all thrilled every time I open the case. For drying of hair, my go-to attachment got to be the firm smoothing brush. Although there’s a pre-styling dryer, I prefer to use the firm smoothing brush instead, as it kind of aids in reducing frizziness and smoothen out my hair while drying.

Pronounce as “believe:, B.liv was established in 2009, created to cater to easy-to-use and affordable personal skin care regimen. B.liv seeks to inspire and give confidence to the youths of today in making a difference. Previously, the B.liv team sent me their B.liv O2 Bubbly Bright to try out and this time, I received more goodies from them to review on!

Rose petals are most potent at the bud stage, they are hand-plucked and infused into the oil for more intense results. Not only does the essential oil look so pretty with rose petals flooding among the solution, it smells really therapeutic too! Rose is a useful agent in moisturising and softening skin. Its highly nourishing properties help to protect the skin against lost of moisture and environmental aggressors (E.g. pollutants), making it particularly suitable for the treatment of dry, sensitive or damaged skin.

Fortified by AcquaCellTM, immerse me is a salve for face parched and dry, as it soaks the skin in a jiffy, while maintaining skin's hydration. Its nutrient-carrying essence helps the skin cells and to input  moisture into the deeper layer of the skin.

What I love most about this mask, is the material it is made in. Originated from Japan, their thin layered mask sheet is made from 82% wood pulp which doesn't tear easily. It felt almost like a luxurious piece of mask and I have to compliment on the moisture of the mask; it is well packed with the essence and does not dry out easily :)

Naturally, I have a tanner skin tone than many friends around me and daily encounters with urban pollutants, plus the catching up of age contributed to a duller, looking skin. My skin was lacking oxygen; a vital role in cell regeneration. Thankfully, something hopeful came through my mail, something to fizz up my skincare routine, something I 'b.liv' will help many achieve brighter and healthier skin!

Amidst the hectic adult life, it is always an enjoyment to rewards oneself with a pampering session every now and then. Thank you Samplestore for sending me to a rewarding facial session with Lynn Asthetic; where every aspect of the session was nothing but satisfying. Service, comfort level and result. Checked. Checked. Checked.

Apart from treating wounds, minor burns and skin infections, aloe vera also contains properties that assist in improving minor skin conditions such as dry or flaky skin; which is why they are widely used in beauty products.

Cathy Doll Aloe Ha 2 In 1 Peeling Pack contains 60% organic aloe vera, age-defying fruits and herbs extracts that renew, refine and restore your skin's radiance. The most appealing factor about the product is the ability to use it in two different forms! It helps to removes skin impurities and calms irritated skin conditions through deep skin nourishment and dead skin cells removal.

Usage 1 – Cleanser. For cleansing, apply the gel solution onto your skin and gently massage for 3 to 5 minutes before washing it away with lukewarm water. Usage 2 – Face mask. Beside cleansing, this product can also be used as a nourishing face mask.

The Cathy Doll Aloe Ha 2 in 1 Peeling Pack comes in a clear, light gel state that is cooling to the touch. Although the solution comes in a gel state, it does not feel heavy or thick on the skin. Upon application, the light weighted gel breaks into a thin layer of cooling scrub that is easy to apply across your skin. I have used the product in its 2 different usages and frankly, I enjoyed using it as an overnight face mask. After leaving it on for a night, there was an instant soft and supple touch to my skin. It also helps to improve skin breakouts by reducing spots!
