How to achieve hair goals? I also always wondered how. Our crowning glory ... the hair! Bow! It's one of the most high-maintenance part of our body, I believe. Hair care is the first thing to consider. Well, that's because for me, I have such a heavily damaged hair already given all the past treatments I had and some, probably wrong decisions I made like those radical colors, among others. With that, I tried using different types of shampoos, conditioners, hair masques, etc. just to maintain my hair or even improve it. I tried venturing into using sulfate free shampoos as I've read they are better for dyed hairstyles; and also hair care products with argan oil. However, I can't avoid styling my hair when I attend events and I need to be always ready for shoots as well so my hair gets a lot of stress too from the ironing and blowdrying and all other treatments at salons. At times, I just want a simple product that help me care for my hair at home without damaging it further. Thankfully, I received this new product and I'm excited to try it out!

Me taking on the challenge #TakeAShowerWithUs
Hairstory's New Wash

I must say this is really a bold and challenging way to change my hair care routine. Hairstory New Wash is a detergent-free, non-toxic, and one-for-all hair cleansing alternative! It's so challenging that will really make me ditch my traditional hair story and the products I currently use and just replace it with this. Can I really ditch shampoo and conditioner and all those products I'm used to with just using this? What's in this product anyway and how can I benefit from it? Read on ...

They do understand what the fashion market wants and that is unique and special ladies' clothes, so their team promises to be always adding beautiful new styles to their collections.

Also, in order to provide more styles (more than 10,000 styles to date per site count), they ally with many clothing manufacturers specializing in producing export clothing in China, which enables them to provide lasting styles in massive amount and in remarkably low prices.

Now they offer best efforts to be the best supplier to retailers and boutiques online all over the world as well. They offer a large variety of clothing styles.

The only time I put on makeup is during special occasions and cosplay. I don't really wear makeup on a day-to-day basis. I'm lazy applying makeup haha. But of course when we apply makeup, we want good makeup that really enhances our beauty and supports the colors that we put on our face. And especially during cosplays, there's a specific look we would love to achieve. Most of the time during conventions, it lasts all day so it's best to have long lasting makeup to minimize retouching and ruining your makeup in the middle. And I'm glad I was contacted by Anastasia Beverly Hills to review one of their products that's really perfect for any special event, and of course, cosplays!

I was given the opportunity to select a product to review. I selected from their Best Sellers list then since I was curious about what those products had to offer and why they were considered best. Back in February, one thing I'm seeing being advertised that much on the site was the Lash Genius Clear Waterproof Topcoat. I was thinking if I'll ever use that since I ain't really a "mascara" type of person - like, I don't really have a lot of mascara at home nor do I use it much. But there's more to that, which it can offer ...

I had a recent opportunity to see a vast collection of fine jewelry available online. The jewelries are really gorgeous, and well-crafted. Each featured collection appears to be exclusive to the high class, considering its intricate design. I can only dream of having a piece. I wish to feature this brand then and garner thoughts on it ... I'm talking about Lili Diamonds to be exact.

Lili Jewelry collections dazzling Singapore at L'Officiel Magazine (November 2012)

They said, as the old cliche saying goes - Diamonds are girls' bestfriend. It's the most prestigious stone and best choice for a wedding or an engagement ring. The happiness and smile on a woman's / bride's face will be "priceless" given a diamond. Well, to each his own I guess; but it's really worth the investment; as most of our folks would say. The prestige and charm would last for many years and generations to come. That's why it's best to get yours from a trusted retailer or shop or manufacturer. This ensures you get the best quality and I believe, that this shop then provides that.

This quirky design or print has surely been out there but I never really paid attention to it. All I knew was it's this "zigzag" like pattern and I've never been a fan of it. But when I saw it in different designs and styles, it seems pretty cool and fun to wear too. Maybe it just needs to be a little bit exciting for us fashion-enthusiasts to notice it, right?

A chevron (also spelled cheveron, especially in older documents) is an inverted V-shaped pattern. The word is usually used in reference to a kind of fret in architecture, or to a badge or insignia used in military or police uniforms to indicate rank or length of service, or in heraldry and the designs of flags (see flag terminology). The symbol is also used on highway signs to guide drivers around curves. Who would've thought it'd be fun to wear in fashionable clothing too, right? It has gone back in trend or season last 2012 and I think it's surely here to stay.

One shop I've seen offering this print in either close together or far apart; in bold colors or subtle hues, is Gliks.com where you can certainly achieve a range of drastically different "looks" with this pattern. They're surely putting Chevron back in style! And what's best is for us to get them at discounted prices!!! How? Find out after the cut ...

As promised, I'll write about the dress I got from my new sponsor, Edressy.com and I must say, I really chose the one I could wear in local parties and events. This post is then an "outfit post" and a "product review post" at the same time! Woot! You've seen a preview of this on my last post - Save Budget and Be a Party Belle with SimplyDresses.co.nz and now you'll see it full! And when it comes to party dressing, you'll see I really put effort in my expressions, makeup, style, and show my creativity in it. My love for cosplay would mostly be reflected in the looks I create. Of course, from time to time, we show our individuality.

Here's a comparative photo of the dress I received and the advertised photo from the site. I must say it's very accurate. The length of my dress is a little longer because I chose it to be that way. I have a bigger "behind" and if I choose shorter ones, I might flash you guys with ungodly scenes. LOL!

edressy.com is an online bridal shop, specializing in selling wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, flower girl dresses, prom dresses and other special occasion dresses. Since their goal is to make all of us customers and shoppers alike to be happy and satisfied, they are committed to offering high quality dresses with competitive price.The shop has then grown from providing just wedding dresses and entourage clothing to parties - prom, homecoming, among other styles.

In my country, I mentioned wearing glam dresses may not be as common since the parties we have are not as big as those in other countries. It's getting more costly nowadays. But luckily, there are shops that offer budget-friendly dresses at online shopping convenience like http://www.simplydresses.co.nz/ Go check after the cut to find out more about my views on this shop ...

When you're looking for a beautiful ball dresses and romantic ball gowns, in a sea of colors; for sure one of your choice shops would be the nearest mall or tailor shop or similar stores offering wedding dresses and cocktail dresses so that you can get the best dress choice.

Of course, it comes along with the pain & hassle of going out to the market, and spending time choosing your cloth choice, getting measurements, etc. Isn't it best that we get to do it at the comfort and convenience of our home?

Readers of this blog know that I'm such a fan or online shopping as it saves me the time and effort and the hassle of shopping outside; subjecting myself to heat, traffic, and some unwanted scenes maybe .. So I'm glad to find really great shops that really offer the best quality fashion pieces without the need for me to leave. This saves me time and gives me more time to spend with my family ... well, mostly work hehe ... but still, the time I get to spend with my family is very much needed.

In my country, wearing glam dresses may not be as common since the parties we have are not as big as those in other countries - at least for my capacity. LOL. But when we do party, we party hard! Yeah! And it's popular to have really cute party / cocktail dresses with unique designs, to sport each of our unique personalities. Luckily, there are shops nowadays that offer that like http://www.simplydresses.co.nz/
