~ New Perm ~

My first perm was in September 08. The stylist said it was only going to last me 3 months or so but with tedious hair care (with shampoo and misc styling products specifically for curls), it lasted me until March of 09 when I decided to chop off most the leftover curls. Before the cut, my hair was pretty much up to my waist. After, my hair was basically neck length...

I work with 2 girls that have naturally curly hair and I get jealous of them and them of me. Haha... We are wierd. I don't want to spend like an hour on curling every morning, that is the reason why I wanted a perm and they don't want to spend time doing straightening... Another reason for me is because now that I am wearing makeup everyday, even if it is simple makeup, I feel as if I should do something with my hair to go with the makeup instead of just washing it, brush it, and leave for where ever I am supposed to go that day.

I decided to get a perm again...
Day 1 with just some Biosilk. I hate how your not supposed to wash your hair for 2 days after the perm... ewww... I felt so nasty... I also need to touch up my roots..XD The hair color I have right now is Garnier Nutrisse 60 Acorn (the box also said light natural brown). I might just dye my hair back to dark brown.

I went back to my usual salon but the stylist who did my hair last year was not there anymore. I went to a Korean Salon... The stylist this time understood more English but that did not make things any better. Last year, the guy cut my bangs a little short for my taste. This year, she curled my bangs a tiny bit so it only goes one direction (so no pictures until I grow it out a bit and get to trim it) even though I specifically told her no when she asked me if I wanted it that way... Grr... I can never get what I want exactly when it comes to hair....

I tried taking a picture of my hair with styling products but it's not that big of a difference from day one except the curls are a bit more pronounced. And I tried like 50 times and I kept cutting off a part of my head so I don't have a good picture to post. :D

Can anyone recomment some good products to help prolong the perm? I only picked up some pantene and garnier products from the local drugstore for now....

Random picture of something I bought recently:

Jessica Simpson Patent Pumps for $15!!! I am not so fond of the way the stiletto part looks but the price got to me. Plus, a girl can never have too many pairs of shoes!

Mother's Day Weekend

It's mother's day weekend and the weekend before 3 of my finals! grrrr! Not good...


Picked up a Garnier Nutritioniste exfoliator for myself... Hope it will be good. The green tube is the exfoliator. The white one is a moisturizer with SPF 15.



Stopped by Walgreens today to get some FaceShop masks but they did not have all the ones that I wanted! >.<


Stopped by Sephora to pick up some Clinique All About the Eyes for part of the Mother's day gift x 3. Why x 3? Everytime my sister and I give something skincare related nowadays, she always tells 2 aunts about it and then they want it too. >.< Tiffany loves it so I thought I would give it a try since I need one for the summer and it is 2 in one (face and body) so all the better! 


I go to Macy's next but should I have? Guess what I see at the Shiseido counter? A skincare set for the summer with the exact product I just picked up at Sephora!! ............So I buy it. :D It comes with a 3.3 fl. oz Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion SPF 55 PA+++, a .6 oz Sun Protection Eye Cream SPF 32 PA+++, a 2.5 fl. oz Ultimate Cleansing Oil, a .25 fl. oz White Lucent Concentrated Brightening Serum, and a .25 fl. oz White Lucent Brightening Serum for Neck and Decolletage. I almost forgot the insanely bright orange pouch.... >.<


Now I am finally home.... I go online and browse... Guess what I see now? LOL. Sephora has another set! 


This set has a 2.5 oz Ultimate Cleansing Oil, a 2 oz Sun Protection Cream, a 0.14 oz Lip Treatment, a 0.06 Eye Cream, 4x Refreshing Cleansing Sheets, and a Mini Orange Pouch ( that I might actually use....).

 I don't know which set I want now.... The main product in one set is a lotion and the other is a cream.... Should I return the Macy's set too and get the set from Sephora?
