Product Review VS Sassoon 38mm Curling Iron


As promised here is my product review for the VS Sassoon 38 Curling Iron~


Why get a 38mm Curling Iron when I already have a 25mm and what's the difference from a curling iron and hot rollers?

Well the reason I got the 38mm is to achieve the soft curl or what is also known as the 'Japanese curl' because it seems that all girls in the Jap magazines seem to have this natural soft waves and it's achieved by curling iron and not from a perm!


This is basically the hair style I'm trying to achieve with this hot roller, this is from March 2010 issue of Ane-can


So I followed the tutorial below and curled my hair..


Ta-dah~!


Outfit of the day~ getting ready to go out to watch Tangled~ ^__^


Reminiscing my shoulder length hair... 


My hair from the side



What you guys think? These soft waves can only be achieved by a curling iron or hot rollers that's 32mm  or above. The curler is ceramic so it's not as damaging for your hair and it's easier and faster to use than hot rollers. Before I bought hot rollers thinking it will be faster and easier to use but actually it's not 
-.-;

Also I find the curls made with hot rollers fall out much faster than curls made with hot iron

VS Sassoon's hot curler has 25 heat settings and 2 year warranty and also has a brush sleeve for soft waves and body

It states that it heats up in 60 seconds but I don't think so.. I think it takes at least 3-5 minutes to heat up

But other than that I think it's a good curling iron plus VS Sassoon is a good brand anyway and the price is super cheap! Only 29aud at myers! I was going to buy a $60 one (forgot what brand) at Shavers but they sold out so I got one at Myers instead!

Anyway below is some camwhoring shots of me and van van before heading out for clubbing 2 days ago so you can see more photos of my hair done with the hot curling iron ^__^

Warning.. all photos below are photoshopped but all I did was get rid of my bags under my eyes except for the last photo.. hehe






Was playing with the bloat tool in Photoshop and then I clicked too many times on the mouse so my eyes kinda look like alien eyes now >.<

Should label this one.. "If I go for plastic surgery for the eyes.." Hmmz.. not bad =P




 This was from the same issue of Anecan (March 2010) that was introducing the new poppy line by Coach and it was this picture that made me fall in love with the pink sequin spotlight bag that I ended up buying =)


Going to Studio 199 to find Vicki next week to do my hair~ I'd like to get this colour.... but don't want to bleach my hair again because it's tooo damaging so..


I think I'm going to go for something like this..Three colours~ Just bleach like bits of my hair hehe looks cool right? =) Will post about it when it's done ^.^

Abracadabra~~~!!!

I got this Shu Uemura make up bag 1.5 months ago but I'm only blogging about it now because I finally started using it! 因為一直不捨得用。。太可愛啦! I think this is definitely my favvv make up bag so far and you will find out why if you keep reading! 

(sorry the photos are kinda yellow/pink I'm too lazy to photoshop them >.<)

comes in super cute box!

 

It's called the abracadabra pouch hehe what a cute name! Limited edition 2010 Christmas design~




Abracadara.....Ta-Dah~! 
Super cute~ and it's made out of a silk like material~ really soft!



I attached my anna sui lip gloss to it~ and the zip is so cute as well ^__^


Ok so here is the reason why I love this make up bag~ It has two zip compartments and then two net like pockets



so you can put quite a lot of stuff in it in a very organised manner and because it's made of soft material if you don't put much in it, then the bag will be small and not bulky! My other two make up bags are made of hard material so doesn't matter how much stuff you put in there, it still take up a lot of space in your bag! But dw your make up won't get crushed because I think there's cotton or something in it that cushions all your precious make up ^_^


And here is some stuff I take with me.. Eyedrop (if I'm wearin con), mints or in this case mint spray!, floss (cos is cooler than taking around tooth picks hehe!), lip gloss, small bottle of perfume, cotton buds and I like to take the eyeshadow pallet I'm using for the day and an eyeliner for touch ups!

If I'm wearing false eyelashes I will take eyelash glue and eyelash box (my Dollywink one ^.^) which is not in this photo and of course a compact powder which is also my mirror (not in this photo either)



Shu Uemura designed by Takano!


Ok now I know you must be asking where can I get one? Well... it's actually not for sale... They were doing a promo at David Jones Shu Uemura stand where if you spend more than 215aud you get this free... I'm not sure if they are still doing this promo now because it was for the Christmas season and it should be out of stock by now but you can still try your luck? I'm going shopping tomorrow, if I remember I will go check it out and see if it's still available!

So in order to get this bag I end up buying Shu Uemura's translucent powder so I can spend more than 215aud >.< But it's worth it because it's such an awesome make up bag and best of all it's limited edition!

yah yah I know that's what gets us girls sucked in those two magic words >.<; 

Two things on my wish list right now...

1. No!No! permanent hair removal laser thingy! There's a new model out for 350aud sold at Myer personal care but.. it's SOLD OUT in all the Myers!! omgg.. So I'm waiting for them to restock.. darn.. the more you can't get it the more you want it!! Humphz..

and second thing is... New camera!! My camera is soo shit atm it's like 3 years old so I desperately need a new camera..! It's essential for blogging and of course for a girl that loves camwhoring -.- What girl doesn't? Oh wait I think ugly girls don't haha Sorry if I offended you.. but that would mean that you admit you are ugly right?

Anyway I'm still doing research so I havn't 100% decided on what camera I want to get but I'm going to buy it in Hk in Feb

 Any suggestions? I want like a semi DSLR camera.. like the olympus pen epl1 or sony nex5.. but now there's new cameras out so I'm still researching..

Please let me know if you have anything suggestions!

Going to get my Little Big Planet 2 tomorrow~~ ^__^V
