Schwarzkopf Perfect Mousse 告別布丁頭黑人頭染髮慕絲新體驗

最近頭髮長了，出現了可惡的布丁~~ 我的頭髮半年前在髮廊補染過一次，當時黑髮到耳朵長度，而且很喜歡淺棕色所以決定補染。這一次不想再染淺棕色了，所以這次要突破自己，染沒有染過的顏色~ 呵呵呵 先看看我現在的頭髮狀況...


My hair has grown since the last time I retouched it at the salon, this time I gave up retouching on the same light brown color I've been wearing for few years, I decided to go with something that I've never tried on my hair! Take a look of my current hair style...

日光下的頭髮

我的頭髮染過幾次的淺棕色，加上髮廊並沒有用很好的藥水，髮質非常差，經常開叉，飛散又枯燥！

My hair experienced a few dye before, plus the salon I went to didnt put very good quality colorants on my hair, as a result, my hair condition is very bad, it is frizzy, coarse, dry and damaged.

閃光燈下的頭髮，超噁心的布丁，非常不均勻。
My hair under flashlight... hate the new grown black hair and uneven color...

話說回來，我的髪尾好奇怪，上面的卷度比髪尾要卷，髪尾直直的好奇怪... 可是我一年沒剪過了，因為我好想留長，每次到髮廊肯定被修很慘很短的 （無奈）

The end of my hair seems weird as the hair above it is curled but the end is straight.. anyway, I didn't cut it for almost a year, I don't want to shorten the length I want long hair.

這次買了品質保證的黑人頭牌染髮慕絲。色號是前所未有的深 >> 3-68！Dark Chocolate
This time I bought home coloring Schwarzkopf Perfect Mousse, I believe in this brand's quality and I tried the darkest tone I've ever tried in my life >> 3.68 (Dark Chocolate)

內容物有手套，說明書，顯色劑，顏色劑，護髮素。
This kit includes: manual, hand gloves, colourant, developer, and hair conditioning treatment.

雖然有染髮水的化學味道，但有一種淡淡的香味，沒有感覺很臭很辛苦！我先在頭頂放上5-8分鐘再放其餘的頭髮。我買了兩罐以為我的長度需要，但一罐就已經搞定了！
Although there is some chemicals smell, but this mousse has a nice scent, I feel nice about this.
I put it on my new grown hair area first for 5 - 8 mins first, then I put it to the remaining area of my hair (colored hair). I thought I will need two boxes, but I actually used one! =)

非常均勻，髮色很漂亮很有氣質！本來很害怕會整個出來是黑髮，不過沒有哦！雖然和盒子上的照片有些許偏差，但效果還是很滿意的！
The color is very evenly distributed, and the hair color is very nice I love it! I was worried that the color will be like black, but it didn't turn out plain black, but nice dark brown with a hint of reddish tone! Although still some difference between the actual hair color and the hair color on the box, I love the result!

後續保養我用同品牌的角蛋白修復護色洗髮水和潤髪露。之前用歐萊雅的染髮劑剩下一支可以用六次的護色精華素也拿來用了。非常香，洗完頭髮很軟很滋潤，太喜歡了！
For after care, I used the same branded Colour Protect Shampoo and Conditioner with Liquid Keratin for crystalised shiny and repaired hair. Last time I used a L'oreal hair color it came with a 6-applications after colour treatment, so I used it for this time, the result is supple, soft, and nicely-scented hair!
所以不用去髮廊啦，因為髮廊有時候的產品比開架的還差，我寧願自己用歐萊雅或者黑人頭這一類有保證的產品！泡泡也是非常容易控制的呢！
So I don't have to pay a visit to the salon. Sometimes salons don't have as nice quality as those you bought over the counter like L'oreal, Revlon or Schwarzkopf. Mousse form is also very easy to control than conventional cream type. Please give it a try!

大熱果凍面膜 Annie's Way Jelly Mask Review

（使用Fingershopping.com的照片）

最近大熱港臺的Annie's Way果凍面膜在我的fb洗版，一個又一個的blogger紛紛大讚其清黑頭的功效。我由11歲開始受到黑頭的困擾，clean & clear，biore，innisfree，甚至各大歐美澳洲，美容院，凡是對付黑頭的，我都通通試過。近年我已經放棄在家清理黑頭，轉戰每個月兩次到美容院針清。很多sis都話針清可以好乾淨，不會返轉頭，但可惜，每次美容院姐姐會話我d黑頭太深層，好難清，喊濕兩張tissue都清得唔乾淨...

Recently Annie's Way Jelly Mask has been so popular, many bloggers complimented on its amazing function for clearing blackheads. I suffer from blackheads since I was 11 years old, Clean & Clear, Biore, Innisfree, European, American, Aussie brands, salon-use products, you name it, I've tried them all. In these two years, I have given up fighting blackheads at home, I go to beauty salon and let them do it for me. However, every time they tell me my blackheads are too deep, very difficult to clean...

（使用Fingershopping.com的照片）

所以我在fingershopping買了兩瓶：薰衣草和金盞花 （我私信Annie's Way問我的皮膚容易敏感出粒粒，他們advise我用這兩款）

So I messaged Annie's Way and they advised me to use Lavender and Calendula for my sensitive skin)

我回家后立刻跟住步驟，先洗面，塗上化妝水和精華液就利用附上的棒子塗上厚厚的果凍面膜。

I followed its instruction straight after I went home. First wash my face, then put on some toner and serum. After that, use the stick that comes with the mask to put on a thick layer on my skin.

過了40分鐘我利用棒子慢慢由外往內刮出果凍面膜。看到上面有浮起的黑頭粉刺嗎？

After 40 mins, I used the stick to lightly remove the jelly mask. Can you see the blackheads?

我不能說完全清曬所有黑頭，畢竟我的黑頭很有歷史... 但我感覺到很乾淨！期望毛孔也會收起來！

I cannot say all the blackheads have been removed but they were very deep I knew it. I can feel the cleanliness! I hope that my pores can be smaller too! 

用了兩次后，下班回家粉底還是很貼服，完全沒有浮油，毛孔也很細！

After two applications, this is me with my makeup after work. No greasy skin and large pores!

我期待使用兩瓶后的成果，到時再分享！小提示：記得要塗得厚厚的，一瓶用八次就差不多了！

I look forward to the results after continuous use of two jars. Tips: Please apply a thick thick layer, otherwise it won't work out as good! One jar can be used for 8 times approximately.

初心者漱口水 Mouth rinse for beginners!

今日放工行過萬寧想買一支漱口水，立即看到這支非常日本包裝的東東。上面寫著“推薦初心者使用”，“沒有強烈薄荷辣味”，非常吸引。 Ritsuko常常使用市面上某幾個大牌子全部的mint味都很辣，次次用完都留眼淚，要不然還要拿水稀釋，漱口完像沒有用過一樣... 這次還是超級減價！由49.9減到15蚊！立刻拿了兩瓶不要多說...

Today while I was walking around Mannings I saw this mouth rinse on sale! It was $49.90 and now only $15!! That's a whooping price reduction! I checked its expiry date it's June 2016. So I grabbed two immediately as I needed to buy mouth rinse anyway.

This mouth rinse is a Japanese brand emphasizing on "Mouth Rinse for beginners" "No strong mint taste" "soft citrus flavor". That attracted me a lot. Because I hate strong mint taste that makes me tear!

但我又很害怕它味道太淡會不會用了還不能消除異味，回家立刻開來試試看。一入口果然很溫和，完全沒有辣味。淡淡的柑橘香好像喝了759買的柑橘有味礦泉水一樣。我立刻問媽媽，會不會完全沒有清新的香味？但她說：完全無口臭wo！仲有淡淡柑橘味tim！果然，日本仔的東東永遠都是那麼令人著迷。

I was worried if it is too mild it doesn't help to reduce bad breathe but it does do a good job on that! I felt like I rinsed mild flavored water and my mom said I smell refreshing! I love this and need to buy a few more to stock up!

轉頭再買多幾支先，2016年先過期！快d去萬寧睇下啦 ~\(≧▽≦)/~

Grab one now at Mannings!

Innisfree Mugwort mask review

Recently I'm in love with Korean masks! After yesterday's review on Nature Republic Aloe Vera mask today I'm gonna review on innisfree Mugwort mask!

This mask has repairing function so I would like to use this to further sooth my redness.

The cutting is quite nice but not as good as nature republic. This innisfree free mask got eye mask too, so that's a credit!

This mask is not as moisturizing as nature republic's. It is doing a fair job. Maybe I should try other flavors of Innisfree mask! =)

Nature Republic Aloe Vera Mask Review

Today I am going to review on Nature Republic's Aloe Vera Mask. I bought it at a little shop at Mongkok, Hong Kong for around HK$8 per piece along with other flavors. But you can also buy it from Babegal - an online beauty shop that I discovered recently and I bought an eyeliner from 3ce too. (Hopefully I have time in the future to review how unhelpful it is to me despite all the good reviews others held over the Internet) 

The first impression of this mask after I open it from its package was it's scent, very soothing and lovely.

The cutting is pretty good comparing to its fellow Korean brand Missha's mask which I tried yesterday (but forgot to take photos and didn't review it).

My skin is getting allergic again lately. After taking solutions like I wrote in my previous post, it is still not getting any better. After yesterday's Missha's mask my skin did get soothed and my redness reduced a bit - that's good news.

After ten mins, you may still see the redness from my left cheek even with the mask over it. =(

Maybe it's the freezing weather in HK, my allergic skin is still little bit red from the coolness of the mask. The serum from the mask is quite thick and moisturizing. I feel very hydrated. Overall I like this mask and it's lovely price!

Will upload another photo tomorrow morning to evaluate its power for soothing my allergic skin!

My skin is getting slightly soothed in the next morning. Ofcourse the major help is from the medicine I took prescribed by doctor, but the mask also somehow helped flattening my allergic acnes. So far I recommend this mask to those who have allergic acnes and after sunburnt. =)

Mini post - sleep is king

Recently I broke out a lot and my skin just got in bad situations with six or seven pimples popping out (forgive me for forgetting to take photos). Thursday plantation tea tree oil helps but after all Sleep is King! Last night I slept 13 hours and this morning I got up with beautiful skin! Foundation was easily smoothed out and eyes looking sharp too! So girls, squeeze time to sleep!

Ritsuko的植假睫毛之旅 My Salon Lash Extension Experience!

我的睫毛本身很短很疏很垂... 反正就是衰，每天夾睫毛搽睫毛膏不到三小時又垂下來而且怎麼涂也不夠長不夠閃！所以我決定去植了 - 起碼一勞永逸！

My lashes are short and sparse. Every morning I spend lots of time to clip to curl to put on mascara but within 3 hours it will drop and my eyes wont look any bigger... So I am determined to go to the beauty salon for a professional lash extension service!

 

先看看我本來的睫毛，這是之前燙睫毛的照片。

This is my natural lashes with perm.

這是植好后拍的！我第一次弄所以先弄最短的8mm，下一次可以選擇10mm （應該是最漂亮的長度）還有12mm不過太長，我單眼皮不好看的！

This is after extension! It is my first time so I chose the shortest option - 8mm, next time I will try 10mm (should be the perfect length for me!) There is also option for 12mm, but for single eyelid like me it wont look good on my eyes.

濃密的睫毛顯得眼睛更有精神，所以之後連眼線都不用畫了！這個是素顏照喔！！
Intensive lashes made my eyes look sharper and I dont need eyeliner anymore! This photo is taken without any make up on!

這是返工look！只塗了眼影，眼尾畫了一條小粗眼線only！超級懶人化妝法，5分鐘出門。

This is my work makeup look. I only put on eye-shadow and drawn a mini eyeline only at the end of my eyes. I only need 5 mins!

先說說我在哪裡植，在銅鑼灣渣甸街，非常方便！師傅手勢不錯，一點都不痛也沒有不適的感覺！一雙眼耗時一小時，非常快哦！我join了三次course，沒有hardsell，很好！

I did this at Causeway Bay at Jardine Bazzar. I did not feel any pain or discomfort and I only need one hour for both eyes! - Efficient! I bought 3 times course and they did not really hard sell me, which was great!

雷品礦物粉 BareMinerals Powder Review

近年來燒得很紅的礦物粉，尤其以BareMinerals這個品牌為首，進攻不少美女們的化妝箱，但我不覺得有特別好用喔...(失望）

Recent hit minerals powder has made its way to many girls' cosmetic boxes especially the brand BareMinerals. However, I felt quite disappointed with this product...

ORIGINAL SPF 15 Foundation
Our ORIGINAL SPF 15 Foundation gives you all the flawless coverage you want with a naturally luminous finish that won't clump or cake. It's clinically proven to improve the appearance of your skin over time. The creamy minerals diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles without drying out your skin. Its silky, soft texture looks like a powder, but feels like a cream and buffs on beautifully. Made with only the purest, highest quality ingredients. It's makeup so pure you can sleep in it.


今次review就是這一款。
This is the powder used in this review.

我使用的是于專櫃拿到的trial size，很小的，先看看這個罐子。

I obtained a trial size powder from the counter, please look at the photo.

粉質看起來還不錯。顏色偏淺色的，和我皮膚差不多。

The powder looks refined. My color is Fairly Light, it pretty much matched up with my natural skin color, slightly lighter.

我使用Bodyshop的kabuki brush來上，一轉一上一轉一上的上粉。

方便是挺方便的，因為不用上其他東西了，也有上完蜜粉的乾爽感，遠看日光下拍照皮膚好像很完美的可是... 

I have to say mineral powder is very convenient! You can skip the liquid foundation and the finishing powder and still get the right coverage. This photo was taken under sunlight and it seemed to be skin-perfect... 

看近一點... 超粗！毛孔很大然後一塊塊的...
Look closer! My pores are super large and it looks sooo patchy...!

我和朋友出去他們遠看覺得沒什麼，近看毛孔超爛然後鼻子附近非常明顯一點都不細緻喔...
My friends couldn't see the problem while going out with me, but after a close look they figured out how bad it looks.

總結：礦物粉使用方便，成份也對皮膚沒有那麼傷害，是值得一用的粉底產品可是！這個品牌不會回購，只能再搜索其他品牌的礦物粉了！

Conclusion: Mineral powders are fantastic and their ingredients are also relatively not as harmful as traditional ones. However I will not buy BareMinerals' products and will keep looking for other brands' powder that gives me a more refined look!

同場加映：BodyShop Extra Virgin Kabuki Brush

質地無敵柔軟，好舒服，不會太疏，抓粉情況非常好！十個贊要買！

This is a recommended Kabuki Brush for powders and it is doing a very good job! Love it and Must Buy! The hair is very very soft and intensive, it is capable to grab the right amount of powder for each application!

對付敏感性痘痘肌! Fighting against my allergy-prone sensitive skin!

Ritsuko本身皮膚好敏感，成日轉季潮濕都會紅而且會長一粒一粒又紅又痕類似暗瘡的東西，超級討厭滴說！今天要介紹我皮膚敏感時使用的產品。

I have allergy-prone, sensitive skin, I often break out with little red pimples and they leave my skin feeling itchy and tingly. They are even more irritated during changes of the seasons. Today I'm gonna talk about my skincare routine during times of troubled skin!

先看看前幾天敏感肌的我...超級討厭。

First take a look at me few days ago while having allergies.

洗臉以後我會試用Dr Irena Eris的敏感用乳液。其實說來難堪，我後來在網上找不到這一瓶產品的資料，連品牌網頁也查不到。我是在美容展時直接向Dr Irena Eris櫃檯買的。價錢在港幣200元以內。我一直也有敏感肌膚，每一次都吃鼻敏感的藥或者就等等它消失，可是自從買了這一瓶以後，我能迅速的解決敏感癥狀回復白滑肌膚！

After cleansing, I will apply this Dr Irena Eris Strengthening Ultra Serum. I actually could not find this product on the internet I bought it from Skincare exhibition from its counter. It costs under HKD200. I have been suffering from skin allergies many years but usually I will take a claratyne tablet or simply wait a month for it to recover itself. Since I use this product I can solve my skin problems as fast as three days!

這個品牌的介紹我從網上找的：

Dr. Irena Eris 是波蘭知名的保養品品牌,由於波蘭化妝保養品業發達,他們的產品一律Made in Poland.

This is a Poland beauty brand, all of their products are made in Poland.

還有另一個法寶！沒錯就是周街都有賣的美麗日記冰心活氧面膜！這個面膜非常貼面，又極冰涼，能有效降紅及舒緩我的皮膚，用後保濕鎮靜，我個人十分推薦！

Another magical item that I use is Taiwanese Beauty Diary Cooling Mask! The cutting fit my face, and does an excellent job in cooling down my skin and soothing away the redness. After each use it effectively helps calming my skin, I strongly recommend this product to everyone!

最後讓大家看看我三天后的皮膚，已經恢復光滑白淨！

Lastly, after three days of using above products, goodbye to my troubled skin!

Mask House 韓方草本系列美白面膜 Herbal series Whitening Mask Review

Ritsuko今晚剛出席了親戚的壽宴，回家后卸妝立刻翻出Mask House的韓方草本白亮采面膜敷一敷~ 先說說這款面膜的介紹：標榜200%美白淡斑 （以下為官網的介紹）

注入了五加蔘、川芎的精華，能有效抵禦日光及UV的侵害，擊退惱人色斑等問題，使面部達至雙倍美白效果。混合地黃精華，能促進臉部血液循環。 

配合全新升級五加蔘精華素及無敏感添加，有效加快新陳代謝周期，排走肌膚底層的黑色素，同時阻擋色素沉澱，使面部肌膚更明亮透白。

Mask House is a korean brand and this mask I used tonight was its whitening mask under the Korean Herbal Series. This mask marketed that it helps to whiten your skin tone and reduce spots by 200%! It claims that it helps fighting harmful UV rays and spots, and helps in blood circulation of your face. It boosts metabolism cycle as well.

一盒裏面有5片面膜。面膜紙偏薄，剪裁也挺我的面型。但若和我的美麗日記相比，後者會再薄而且剪裁更貼合我的臉型。

There are 5 sheets in each box. The texture is quite thin and it fits my face shape well. However, if compare to masks from the Taiwanese brand Beauty Diary, I personally think that Beauty Diary ones fit my face the best and the sheet is the thinnest among all masks I've used.

約15分鐘后我覺得面膜有點開始乾便拿下來了。感覺皮膚變得更亮白，但斑點並沒有好轉。這才是第二次敷我也沒有期待能神奇的祛斑，做到了保濕和亮白已經感到滿意了。

After 15 mins I took it off. My skin has been brightened up but it did nothing to my spots. This is only my second time using this mask and I would not expect it reduces my spots anyway. It did a good job in brightening my skin tone and quite well in moisturizing too.

我最後塗上了Aqua Label的乳液鎖住水分。一般美白產品會偏乾但上一次的經驗告訴我隔天起床皮膚也沒有很乾喔。所以1-5分的話這款面膜我會評4分，碰上萬寧特價我會回購。

I put on Aqua Label lotion to lock in the moisture. In general whitening products will make your skin dry but my experience with this mask was that the next morning I woke up I did not feel my skin being too dry even I slept in an air-conditioned room. I would give this mask 4/5 scores, and if this mask is on sales at Mannings I will definitely buy it again!

星期三的晚上，謝謝大家收看！

Thank you for reading on a Wed night!
