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 ^.^

Retail Therapy = Happy Yuki

 First of all... yay! Finally finished making my blog banner~ ^__^ hope you all like it! Now my blog looks much better! And hopefully more and more people will come and read =)

So today I went night shopping because it's Thursday and I finally bought No! No! so I can cross that off my wish list~ Also I got my pre-order of Little Big Planet 2 anddd a 38mm VS Sassoon hot curler!



LBP2 came out today! Got it from EB game for 83aud, they did a price match with JB hi-fi and if you pre-order you get a little Sac Boy Plush which is delayed because of the Queensland floods but at least I can get my game for now

EB's price was actually 109! that's like 30 more expensive than JB! So if you want to buy this game I suggest you go to JB but EB will do a price match for you anyway if you end up getting it from EB


My bf and I playing~ customising our characters...


My character is obviously the girl and his is the creepy white eye one T__T;



What do I think of it so far... well it's pretty much the same as Little Big Planet but with new levels and new things to play with but because I don't have wireless internet it's not as worth it to get this game because if you got wireless internet you can go online with ur ps3 and download levels other players created so you basically get 34982309 more new levels to play with

But the good thing about this game is that it's 1-4 players so next Wed on Aus day I'm going to have friends come over with their ps3 controllers and play it together!

But yeh I think this game makes me really frustrated because I'm actually really bad at playing games that require good timing skills cos your characters jump around and stuff and because my timing sucks I always miss and keep dying =.= So after an hour or so of playing I get so frustrated I want to hurl my controller at the tv 

So why did I even get the LBP2 again..?? I don't even know.. maybe because I like to torture myself? 

Anyway moving on... so I was contemplating whether I should get the 38mm hot curler or not because I already have a 25mm hot curler AND hot rollers of 3 different sizes but....

Cos last night I saw this youtube...



and that basically convinced me to get this...


Except I think my hair is too long for that hair style.. fml -.-; Oh well but the 38mm is really good for creating the really nice soft big curls and I find hot curler much easier to use than the hot rollers but I will leave that for another post

Anyway so yeh now I have one more thing for me to bring to Melb fml >.< Also I got scolded by my bf for wasting money on more useless stuff that I already have... But it's only 29aud!!! Yeh that's right! Hell cheap right? hehehe nvm.. only girls will understand @.@

I will post up a review some time when I start using it.. maybe tomorrow =)

And leaving the best til last... the most important purchase of the day.....

Yesss Finally got my no!no! It's the new model! Bit pricey - 349aud butttt here is my reasoning...

It's worth it because every time I go to salons to do IPL for underarm it costs me 100aud so now that I have no no I no longer need to go to do IPL anymore so basically by saving myself just 3 trips to the salon I already got my money back! Furthermore I can use no! no! like everywhere on my body! 

For those who don't know what no!no! is .. it's a laser alternative that reduces hair regrowth

I will write a post later on with reviews and more info about this *cos I got the pamphlet with all the info on it bwahaha*

But *apparently* no! no! reduces hair up to 94%

All the myers in Perth were sold out of the new model due to Christmas and they JUST got new stock in like today, same as Shavers but both places only had the silver one in stock and I wanted to wait for the pink one but who knows when the pink one is going to come in... So I didn't want to wait anymore so I got it today!

Don't worry I will just bling it later will all pink Swarovski crystals so it will end up looking better than the pink one anyway! 



Ok that's all for now, I'll do two separate post later on reviews for the hot curler and no! no! =)

Yay retail therapy FTW ^___^
