Neglected.

I neglected this blog so much. O WAI.

Well, good news is that I got a new phone so I'll have better pics up :D YAY.

Probably will blog something new tomorrow. It's my dad's birthday tomorrow.

And I have lots of things to share about!!
I got lots of goodies while vacationing in KK.

Really excited about that. My room is flooded with lots of new things, I don't know where to put them :(

But I'll share a look I did today. It ain't much, I took the photo in the dark so really can't see the makeup. it's not spectacular anyway so hm.

Apparently such eyemakeup does not suit me, it's makes me look evil.

So, didn't have many good pics.

It's a cat-eye kinda look thing. I fixed my brows today and overcut some parts lol

I like this shot, as odd as it is. You can see the false lashes here.

Taken after I removed the falsies. I wear glasses and am blind without it.
I guess until my brows grow a bit, there'll be an empty patch that's disturbing. Will use eyebrow pencil on that area lol.

Oh yeah, I dyed my hair lighter but can't seem to catch it on photos very well yet.

'til then!

Hm, should I?

Should I?

I mean, start with that project where you use up your products first before you can buy more things. Project 10 Pan is it? I haven't looked up the details but I certainly need to use up things :D

I mean, since I started getting into makeup, and unfortunately had products breaking me up (I think it was the Clean & Clear stuff :( ) everyone's been blaming me getting makeup from eBay. Well, hello~ I only buy eye products on eBay, and that concealer. The concealer however is innocent, I believe it didn't cause any breakouts except for when I don't thoroughly clean my face?

My problem is that my scars heal so slowly compared to before,so it seems like I have lots of acne thingy going on, but honestly, it's just slow healing :( I never break out on my cheek areas before so I'm really sad when I started to break out there, everywhere really. I'm still trying to figure out why but I'm guessing it's bad diet to blame. I started exercising regularly again so hopefully that'll help!

So, getting on to the project thing.

I have one small toner of Clean & Clear I really don't want to use :I I'm afraid that's the cause. I'm willing to try once more to see if it'll break me out again but, BUT I'm in my pms period so there can be acne coming from hormones too. So it's a bit risky.

I think more than using up products, I should throw away things instead!

You see, I like to keep old stuff and that includes beauty products, which is a no-no!!! No?

So yeah.

I mean, my two older sisters usually "present" me with things they don't want and some of them, are old. They never tell me though :x Jahat (meanie)

I love this tinted moisturizer from Boots, but it was bought in 2009? I should throw that away right?? I never use it anymore but it's still kept in my collection :x goddamn.

There are a lot more...sigh. I don't want to throw all of them at once.

I guess my personal project would be "letting go" of these junk treasures instead of using it up.

No?

It's a good exercise.

There are some mascaras....old ones that I use from time to time. One of them is the one I bought in Japan. That was in 2008 O.O I know what you're thinking, you should only use mascara for 3 months!! But it's not doing anything bad, I think.

But yeah, I'll sort out things I need to throw away. it'll hurt, but it's necessary.

At First "Glance"

So, I tried a little bit of everything except for a few things (MUA Liquid Liner and Waterproof Mascara, nailpolish remover, Nair wax strip) and some I LOVED, liked and some...not so much. Oh and, the w7 lipbalm wasn't for me :D yay.

The MUA Lipsticks:

Hm. I can say they're not as drying as the Kanebo lipstick my mom gave me. They smell nice, not like the crayon-like smell of Nyx Round Lipsticks. It has a flowery scent almost. Of all the shades, Shade 2 is definitely a no-no for me. It was too purple and old looking :/ my sister wasn't kidding when she said it's a lipstick for Mom.

When I compare Shade 7 and 9....I prefer the former. Sadly, without concealing my lips, they barely show on me!!! I have to conceal :( Shade 7 made me seem youthful. I haven't tried 9 with concealer yet. I might use 7 tomorrow for this charity event my school is having. Just a tad bit on my lips. It's orange-pink to me :D it looks very summery. Kinda like watermelon, or just rockmelon.

The lipsticks are fine, just not for my skintone. Which is dark olive I guess.

The MUA Lipgloss:

Love the smell, hate the glitter. WTF. It just ruins it. It scratched my lip D: it's huge chunks of glitter!! it's a colour similar to Shade 7 lipstick. Maybe they'll go well together, but for now, I'll stick to my DIOR Lipgloss!

The Technic Adorn eyeliner: 

:D I've only tried the black one but gosh, I love it. It shows up well when drawn over eyeshadow :D a trait my eyeliners never had (except for liquid and gel of course). I love it very much.

The Technic Adorn Makeup set:

Reminds me of the 120 and 88 palette textures, I like the matte black the most. It's quite pigmented. I didn't really like how chalky the blush was but I'm not a huge blush user so :/ I haven't tried the lipglosses but I think they'd be sheer.

The LUSH Porridge soap:

MAJOR LOVE. I haven't finished curing them so I tried a bit of it. LOVE LOVE LOVE. I dunno if it'll do any wonders to my skin but so far, I love it. And when the oat bits just get left behind when the soap melts :O I just want to eat it! EAT IT.

I love the orangey sugary smell a lot.


------

So, that was my thoughts on it, summary of it. I need to try wearing the makeup out and see how to make it fit. Oh, I wish I had unlimited supply of the soap though ;-; the smell is so strong I love it.

'til next time :D

UK "Haul"

Ish. Because I doubt they were bought at the same time.

Well, my sister is studying there and my bro went there for holiday for a week and managed to get the things from her. I had a lot of girly products :3 too bad the things I asked from my bro are out of stock from Superdrugs :( I only got two MUA lipsticks from him.

I'm not much of a lipstick person really but I am using a lipbrush to control the amount of what i put on me. Too red will make my teeth look quite yellow lol; hm, I drink a lot of tea so it's stained.

I am currently using this whitening toothpaste but I doubt it even works!!

So yeah, my sis got me lots of things :) even the last minute Lush soap I asked her to buy.

So here are the items!!

LUSH Porridge Soap 100g

Technic Adorn Eyeliners and Makeup Set, Nair wax strips, MUA liquid liner, lipgloss, lipstick, mascara, w7 Fruity Lip Balm and Royal Jet Set "Girls On The Go" nail polish remover
For the MUA stuff, I got liquid liner in shade 5, lipgloss in shade 5, black waterproof mascara and lipsticks in shade 2, 9 and 7. The Technic Adorn stuff are surprisingly pigmented when I swatched it. I was surprised. I haven't tried most of them but I'm really happy.

My family's not though. My skin's been quite bad really. I'm trying my best to keep it makeup free. I probably blame all the old makeup :( I just threw some away today. It's hard for me, being quite a hoarder. But I braved myself and did it.

I dunno, it's nearly that time of the month so....maybe that's why my skin's been bad. I've been drinking Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) with warm water for 2 days. I like it. Quite be detoxing my body so hence my skin's been pretty bad. I've been on a healthier skincare regime really.

Today, I made an ACV + water + green tea toner. After I used it, I think my present acne got inflamed for a while. I dunno. It just turned red. Maybe it's cleansing it. Maybe. I'm not sure.

I personally hope it works.

Actually I've been taking ACV for another skin problem I have. Mom doesn't seem to take it seriously but it's genetic. I have KP, ever since I reached my teens.

It's really eaten up my confidence and stuff for years, plus...I'm quite chubby :(

I have started exercising again though. Paired with the diluted ACV, I hope I'll get healthier in the long run.

I'm really trying hard. But PMSing, I've been eating like I've been starved for days!!!

I avoided milk :( hoping it'll lessen acne.


I dunno. Sigh. I just hope my redness is just from the ACV working its magic. If not, I really want to see a dermatologist.

Cyclax?

So, today was my English Literature exam. And it sucked. One more written paper left. It's also English Literature. It's saddening for me since it's always been one of my stronger subjects...but I disappointed myself today. Like, seriously disappointed. I'm not even expecting a C. I just couldn't write tangible sentences that made sense. Really. It was as if I was stupid and couldn't write.

But, immediately after the exam, I went to The Mall with my mom, sister and my two baby fruits (niece and nephew), for lunch and for playtime. I was depressed really, food was the answer, unfortunately.

But then I also got sick of food so I might as well exercise after this.

I bought another Cyclax product from Winmark. This time, it's a face mask. It's a 'Lavender & Tea Tree Clarifying Face Mask'. I was shocked that I didn't notice this before. So far, my St Ives mask isn't working as well, sucks as a spot treatment...it does help somewhat but I need more time before I can review it. Trying to get my face into shape first before I can judge.

Sorry for the bad quality pic ;-;

I haven't tried it. It smells like lavender of course, mixed with a somewhat oily smell from the tea tree. I bought it for BND$4.50 (n.p BND$5.00) so I'm assuming there's a sale? lol; last time, it was also like that though. Ah well, not complaining.

I might try this tonight and pray that it won't break me out. It's nearly that time of the month and I'm breaking out from it. Plus, I had cereal for dinner last night...woke up with tiny bumps. Hopefully they're harmless.

Ever since I started using the Biore Acne Cleanser, I noticed that acne stayed at bay where it makes sense (as in period acne? lol hormonal acne I guess), scars are diminishing VERY slowly.....but then recently I've only just washed my face, no toner, no moisturizer. I just treat my acne with NEXCARE Acne Patch. From time to time I do pop them though...when NEXCARE failed.

Anyway, this mask 're-balances excess oils, de-toxifies & clarifies, cleans & freshens'. I hope it lives up to its claim. So far, the two Cyclax items I've tried...well, they're pleasant but they don't do anything different. I mean, I'm not allergic or anything but they're body care, not face care. So this is my first Cyclax face care item.

I hope it works somehow. So that when I finish my St Ives clay mask, I don't have to hunt it down. This is a cheaper alternative. So I'm really hoping that it does my skin wonders.

We'll see. Even if it doesn't work, I just hope it doesn't break me out!!!!

So far, Cyclax has been pleasant. I don't want it to be my enemy.

Okay then!

Food Overload

Other than my haul, I also wanted to share some pics of the food I've consumed over the week XD

Hot Point's Chicken Baked Rice. Delicious.

Hot Point's Fruit Cocktail with Custard and Warm Honey Lemon.

Hot Point's Banana Fritters with Ice Cream. Funny dessert really. lol.

The Colony's Macarons. I had coconut and orange chocolate!

Astronaut Ice Cream. Was excited for this.

It's Neapolitan flavoured. To me, it has this malt marshmallow  taste . It  tasted nice.

Starbucks' Cinnamon Bun.

Starbucks Green Tea Cream with whipped cream and chocolate chips.

Dad's lunch lol. Sugarbun smoken fish thingy.
I had the nugget version of it. It was soggy lol.
I forgot to add, Starbucks Biscotti. I only tried the Chocolate Pistachio.
I really recommend Hot Point's Baked Rice! I especially love the vegetable one. The fruit cocktail dessert was also yummy. Just try them all! Go on!

I'm on a no-sweet food diet for a week. So...yeah lol. I hope I can survive.

Miri Mini Haul + eBay Buys

Been a long time since I blogged. Haha. Easily losing interest? Yes. But it's more to procrastination right now, actually.

I would love to blog more if I had a better camera. It's not fun to not be able to focus an item well :(

Anyway, yesterday I went to Miri. It's a 2 hour drive from Brunei I guess. I was mostly asleep anyway lol.

So, I bought lots of stuff. More than I had intended to. Having my older sister tag along helped with that.

In terms of makeup/body beauty products, this is my haul:

From Left to Right: St Ives Skin Firming Lotion, Nexcare Acne Patch,  Sample Jars, Biore Acne Clear Cleanser, Falsies Applicator Clip, Oil Blotting Paper, Marie Beauty Eyelash Glue, SilkyGirl Silky White Powder in Natural, SilkyGirl Double Intense Gel Eye Liner + Gentle Eye Makeup Remover. 
I've never bought this much. lol. Kinda surprised. I don't shop much.

I bought the SilkyGirl cosmetics last minute when I saw at Watsons that it was at the 'Buy 2, Get 20% Off'. I took that as a chance since I don't have a gel liner yet, I needed  new pressed powder and my eye makeup remover was nearly finished. So I happily (last minutely) bought them. I have to say that from the swatches I did, it's quite nice.

I also tried the St Ives lotion and I was so happy that it wasn't at all sticky. We'll see if it firms up my skin or not. I'm quite fat lol. It's moisturizing too so I love it for now.

The oil blotting paper was kinda scratchy...but it has 150 sheets so who cares!

I haven't tried the eyelash glue and the applicator yet. Looking forward to it.

Nexcare is my holy grail in stopping me from further scarring my face ;-; it looks so horrible when I ran out of the acne patch. So I bought two to make sure I'll get by a month or so XD

The Biore cleanser...so far, since I used it last night, it didn't break me out so I'm super happy and looking forward to good results in a week. I'll do a follow up to that one in another post.

I bought the sample jars because it retailed at RM1.50 at SuperSave. It's sold for BND1.50 in Brunei too so wtf. It's also a different design than the ones I bought here. I bought two.

I also bought November's S Cawaii and this book I've always wanted, "Not Without My Sister". It was kinda a steal too. Selling for RM39.90 at Popular, with a 10% discount card, I calculated it to be around BND$14+!!! ( OAO ) that's like...waaay cheaper than ordering it online (BND$28 + taxes probably). Also, a hair accessory from Parkson.

Mom also bought me footwear!!

I've always wanted flats! But somehow this colour is....meh. Well, I'll wear them anyway. Wanna go on a date with my boyfie looking girly.

Other than that, my orders from eBay also came :D

Professional 20 Color Camouflage Concealer Palette

(Fake) "M.A.C" Hello Kitty 7 Brush Set

12 Waterproof Pencil Liner
I love them all. I didn't get disappointed by the brushes either, I expected low quality brushes...but they weren't bad at all. I tried the stippling brush, the lip brush and the eyeshadow brush already and they were all fine. Except...maybe the eyeshadow brush was a bit scratchy and hard. I dunno if it's supposed to be like that. I was also surprised the colour didn't stick to it despite it being white when I washed it! So I'm very happy with that.

As for the concealer, I haven't really managed to wear them fully for a long time to see its lasting power, and whether or not it cakes. It's creamy but at the same time, it's also quite hard to get product onto a brush. I prefer to use my finger. Need to experiment more.

The eyeliner looks awesome swatched on my wrist but when I tried to apply it to my (oily) eyelids, it was hard. It was like any other liner I had. I'll try with a primer next time and see how it goes. As far as being waterproof, it is. But it is not smudge-proof, so be careful when you rub your eyes!!!

I'm loving the pink for lining my lower lashline, I don't know why.

So, that's all for now! I can't get nice swatches of things yet without a good camera! I feel like I'm depriving people and myself lol.

Until next time!!

-Nisah-

P.S: Oh yeah. I forgot to add, I also bought AKB48's 'Beginner' single LOL. Random I know. Usually I'd buy comics but I didn't this time. SUPER SHOCKED.

Makeup Practice

I was supposed to blog about this yesterday but I'm so tired, I'll just post two pics I took today :)

You can see my falsies~ it looks so natural, no?

A simple look.
Sadly, this was done just for playing around with makeup. I need to get better at application, so I need to practice.

I can tell you something though!

I tried cleaning my makeup brushes with THAT shampoo.

Guess what?

It's good!

Thank goodness it works for that. If not, I'd still be crying.

I don't think it ruined the brushes at all. I haven't tested it out but I think it got softer instead, which is a plus. The Elianto blush brushes are somewhat scratchy on my skin!

I should do a review on that brush set. I've had it for a while...my sis got it for me.

Oh yeah, on the photos, my hair looks fried no? I didn't use curlers or anything, just did braids. I just didn't bother to use gel, wax or cream to keep the waves because I was just testing out a look.

I need to buy new clothes one of these days. I need looser clothes as I feel more comfortable in them.

The hairpiece I used in this photo is actually a pin. I just pinned it to my hair, not my skin, my hair.

I'm tired and I need to sleep.

Goodnight all!

Yogurt Twister

Twisted!!
Today's my parents' anniversary. We went to Excapade Sushi in Gadong. I was too busy eating I forgot to snap some pictures. I need to get myself a good camera first because my phone doesn't take pictures well in dim light and we all know that the main branch is always dark in atmosphere.

I tried out one of their new menus, one of the udons. They served it on a pot with fire and it kept on boiling the curry in it, burning my tongue. I had to request for the flames to be put out, only then did I enjoy my meal. I thought the salmon was supposed to be raw though, it came cooked. Disappointed.

Anyway, I wanted to go to a supermarket to buy dessert. I can't have food without my dessert, just like a spoiled child! I wanted ice cream but the place we went to didn't sell any. Bummer.

So~ I decided to buy a drink. It's ice blended, right? lol.

'Yogurt Twister' from Kokoberry!

I LOVE anything with yogurt! Even yogurt chocolate. It's so good. I really don't know why I love yogurt, I just do! Putting yogurt on your face...even though it's healthy...the smell is just----ugh. lol. But it can be refreshing.

Somehow tonight, the taste wasn't as good as the first time I tried it. I didn't taste the chocolate. I tasted the yogurt a little but then somehow it was bland.

In the pic, the snack behind the drink is also something I like eating. But none of that tonight...sad :(

Other than that, I also bought St. Ives 'Mineral Clay Firming Mask'! I wanted to buy this at Winmark but they didn't have it. I saw that it was BND$8.40 and thought that it was cheaper than other places. It's 134g though for the price :I I hate the pricing here. It's like what? $3.97 in the US? According to that website I checked anyway.

I've bought many different products this week, and weeks before that too. Some I liked, some...not so much.

But I'll still use them. I have two facial cleansers from The Face Shop, a Cyclax body scrub and body butter, a soap that's supposed to be good for the skin...I'll try and post pics on my next post.

What I like using so far is the Cyclax stuff and the soap. It's a Philippines product, the soap. I thought it would be drying like this other soap I tried but it's not! I'm not sure if I'm breaking out from it or what but problem areas like my cheeks and jawline hasn't had any for a few days. I've had two on my forehead and two on the sides of my eyes. I think my glasses need to be disinfected with alcohol :(

I did take a pic of my face before I used the soap, so I'll see in two weeks to see if there are any positive changes. I also use it on my body.

So, tonight I'm gonna see if the mineral clay mask dries out my spots or not. I pray to God that it does. I hope it works for me!!! I don't want any wastage going on like that friggin' shampoo. I might give it away to someone whose hair suits that effin' shampoo. I just don't want to look at it anymore! It depresses me.

I guess it depresses me more because I bought it with my own money. I'm a student without allowances so...it's just sad.

Sigh. I haven't tried it to wash my brushes. I might try tonight.

Either way, I hope it works. At least, for something.

I'm so full from dinner!! Might sleep early tonight.

I guess it's a good thing I didn't wear makeup tonight, no need to cleanse face like hell. I don't like using the makeup remover that mom bought for me from Etude House. It's too oily. It also has mineral oil!

Happy Anniversary, mom and dad~ I think it's their 32nd Anniversary? I think so.

Too much FOOD.

Hey.

Today I went to school despite the study leave. Had a great time, even though I got a bit teary eyed when I talked about my problems to my friend but overall it was okay.

Well, not really.

I had this disagreement with my mom so I just gobbled up a little bit more than I could chew. Three different savoury buns from Soon Lee.

I bought the curry donuts (can't beat Hua Ho's), the beef burger bun (a beef patty on a bun, with mayo and chili among others) and the tuna bun. Too much? Yes. Too much. It was enough to just eat the beef burger bun really, as I ended up really liking it. The curry donuts on the other hand...wouldn't buy it again. Twice was enough. The tuna bun...I haven't really finished it.

I've got half of it left.

It looks like a brain, no? Tuna Brain Bun.

Truth be told, I shouldn't have devoured the buns so fast. I was hungry, yes, but it didn't warrant me eating three at one time.

I just got depressed by the time I went home.

I thought food would fix it. No. Never. Food's just there.

On top of that, I also bought this cake, American Chocolate Cake, also from the same place.

That one is gooood.

( '3' ) it's not too sweet for me.

On top of that I also had a small box of Milo and drank plenty of water.


But you know what? It didn't make me feel any better.
In fact, I had indigestion.

What's the moral of the day?
Sadness and depression does not equate to you eating without thinking.


...now I feel so uneasy.

So now, I shall drink green tea.

-Nisah-

Mogu Mogu

Yesterday, other than buying the disastrous shampoo mentioned here, I also bought chocolate and a drink. The chocolate is something I'm used to buying but the drink is something new.

I tried out this juice:
'Mogu Mogu: Pineapple Juice', 320 ml

Cute, ain't it? Bad quality pic, sorry!
What it contains:

- Pineapple Juice 25%
- Nata de coco 25%
- Fructose 4%
- Sucrose 4%
- Citric Acid 0.1%
*Artificial colour and nature identical flavour preservative added* (weird, lol)

Hmmmm, it's a product of Thailand, but it uses Japanese. Weird, huh? I guess in some ways, it appealed to me as I like Japanese food. Despite that, this is not Japanese. Another selling point was that it had nata de coco, which is a chewy coconut jelly.I LOVE anything with nata de coco!!! There were also other flavours but I chose pineapple because I like pineapple juice in general, and the fruit too.

This is also a 'halal' product, which is also good :D

My thoughts on it?
I like it!

It's a refreshing juice, I was in the car and I just drank it while eating the chocolate too. To me the sweet-tooth, it wasn't that sweet, despite it having nata de coco. I guess it kinda neutralizes the sweetness when you chew the jelly. I think it also has soluble fiber.

I'm not really sure about the health content but I wouldn't buy this often anyway. My favourite drink will always be a glass of cold water. I bought this at a supermarket and the price was BND$1.00.

Other flavours are grape, lychee, strawberry and mango I think. I shall try them another time. I don't like lychee flavoured drinks as much, I prefer the fruit so I might think hard if I were to try it.

But I really have to say that this was a refreshing discovery as I've always been curious about it.

My only beef would be the price but then I think it's originally sold with a BND$1.20 price tag? I guess it should be fine.

I think it's sold worldwide? I'm not sure but it's definitely sold in Brunei.

At least there was something worthwhile from yesterday's purchase...

If you have the chance, do try it out!!

Hi! (...and a bad review)

Hello, and welcome to my new blog! My name's Nisah and as much as I love writing, I can't seem to be a very consistent blogger. I've had many blogs in the past but I always neglect them. Either that or I just got too depressed to update. It got too negative and such, so I abandoned them :(

But this time, fueled by reading blogs (beauty blogs, really) for the last few days, I figured: "Why not?"

I've been getting into makeup and beauty products lately and being such an impulsive buyer, I can't help but wonder if maybe my experiences and curiosity to try out things can be beneficial for others? I'm not a pro with these things, I'm still learning but there must be something that is SO bad that I have to really tell people!

I want to rant too!

Especially after buying this shampoo today: *WARNING: LONG RANT AHEAD*
'Herbal Essences: Rainforest Flowers Shimmering Colour' for Coloured/Highlighted Hair.

It looks so innocent...
 I've been contemplating on changing my shampoo for a while now, having used Sunsilk's Silky Smooth & Manageable line for a while. I've used the shampoo, the conditioner, the treatment thingy and even the leave on conditioner. It's good and I like the fragrance of it but then, probably my hair became immune to it. A few months ago, I also dyed my hair for the first time and I figured maybe this time, I should buy a shampoo that can help my newly coloured hair...and I thought today's impulse buy might be the answer.

Boy, was I wrong.

I should have listened to my heart and buy L'oreal or Asience shampoos. The former is used by my close friend and she seemed to like it. The latter was recommended by my boyfriend whose hair is sooooo smooth that I'm quite jealous of it. It's quite embarrassing being the female counterpart in the relationship and I have worse hair than him. Well, that's just my self-esteem talking. And where has my impulse buy landed me today?

Something close to Hell.

If there was a Hell for worst shampoos, this should be going straight there. I wouldn't even question its sins, I'll just kick it to the deepest pits.

It's just that bad. So bad that I have to make it my first post on my new blog.

I just need to let it out because I'm so disappointed!!!

You know what's even worse?

This is not my first bad encounter from the same brand.

A few years ago (or maybe just three or more), I bought the 'Herbal Essences: Colour Me Shiny', because that was the only one available. This was a stupid purchase of course, since my hair wasn't coloured. I never realized its bad effects on my hair until the last minute.

I used half of it up, both shampoo and conditioner and only realized how brittle and rough my hair became when it just became unbearable. I never, never thought that the shampoo was the cause, as I've always had questionable hair.

After the damage was done, I finally gave it up. Stopped using it and opted for something else.

Fast-forward to today, I thought of giving this brand another chance. My hair was coloured this time, it shouldn't be bad right?

WRONG.

I read the instructions (because I like reading the backing of products) over and over again, 'lather, massage, rinse'...it was always there. I squirted some onto my palms and into my wet hair. I started massaging, and realized that it got harder and harder to massage. My hair became tangled, my eyes bulged, I started worrying. I thought it was just my imagination but my hair became obviously brittle. I can hear hair snap, the more I massaged it. SNAP. IT SNAPPED. I looked down and saw that the hair that pooled around my feet was thrice the amount that's usual.

I got worried and read the instructions again. I don't know why but reading the instructions like a good girl, I was trying to identify what I did wrong. Nothing. I did nothing wrong!!

Worried, I just rinsed it with water. But during that time, it was just impossible. My hair was already damaged. I couldn't untangle it, even with my shampoo comb thingy. I just hurriedly put on the conditioner it came with. That didn't help either.

I wanted to tear up so badly because the other day, I just used olive oil to condition it and now my hair's ruined.

So now, I have my hair in olive oil again, hoping that it'll help revive it.

Please work for me...
Sigh.

The other reason why I decided to buy this brand was because when I was young, this was the shampoo me and my sisters used and it looked exactly the same...except it wasn't for coloured hair.

I really don't know if it's just the ones for colour-treated hair but I really don't want to try this shampoo again. I don't want to gamble with it anymore...

I wish the shops here have return policies but they do not. I merely made a dent to the shampoo. It still looks so brand new...

I don't know what to do with it.

Maybe I can use it to wash my paintbrushes or something but what if it damages it too? That just sucks.

This was long. Such a long rant.

Would I recommend it? No. But if it works for you, then yay.

But seriously, you f-ed my hair up Herbal Essences. BIG THUMBS DOWN.
