Mac Turquatic is Back!!

Hey all :)

I know it's been a while. Seems like I just disappeared! I just want to share good news. Some of you may know that I really like perfume/flagrance. I think it's a big turn off when a girl stinks! I have a collection myself. Anyways, one of my all time favorite fragrance is MAC TURQUATIC from MAC. I was awfully sad when they discontinued it! However, a few weeks ago I found out that they re-released it!!!

They also changed the packaging. And instead of one size, they came out with a roller and a larger size too. Details can be found on their website. I'm just thrilled! A while ago I bought the old version on ebay for the price of $60USD! Mind you the perfume was around $20-30USD back then for the old packaging. I hope to buy one next month around my birthday.

White Girl Hating on Asians?

Hey girls! I know it's been a while but I'm actually in class right now. It's finals week and I'm about to give a presentation in a bit. I just wanted to share this video that I came across last night since everyone is talking about it.



I thought it was funny at some point. I believe this girl already took down her video but a few people had it downloaded and now it's on Youtube again. I wonder if UCLA would kick her out or something. I get it, freedom of speech. But then again, why are you being racist? I won't go into details about what I think but what do you guys think about this?

Smooth Soft Silky Hair

My oh my how time flies! I know it has been a few months since I blogged. I wonder if anyone still reads this! I've been so busy with school and work, it's no joke! I know all of us are busy but it doesn't hurt to take care of yourself when you can, right? Today I want to share with you girls about how to make your hair softer. During my hiatus, I found this product to be VERY useful and it ACTUALLY WORKS!


(image found on google).

The product that I want to share with all of you is L'Oreal Natures Therapy Mega Moisture Nurturing Creme. The purpose of this cream is to make your hair softer and smoother. I use this as a conditioner for my hair. I simply use any shampoo brand that I want and just apply this cream on my hair after shampoo. I leave it in about 2-5 minutes and I use it daily. I notice that my hair really does become softer and smoother in about a week, no lie. Girls like myself dyed our hair colors frequently and let's be real here. If you notice, the conditioner that comes with your hair dye box doesn't really work its magic, nor does other conditioners that you buy along with your shampoo. I have never ever found a conditioner that actually works like this one before which is why I want to share this great find. I came across this product when I got a haircut a few months ago. The lady used this on my hair and it smells great so I asked her about it. The bad thing is she was trying to sell it to me for $18.99 a jar. That's bullshit. Girls, you can get this for $13.99 at Sally's Beauty Store. I haven't come across this at CVS, Target, or Rite Aids so check your locals for this product or just visit your closest Sally's Beauty Store. By the way, it is currently on SALES for $10.99 right now so I stock up like a squirrel!

You can click on the bold green section up there. It is a link that will take you to the product on Sally's Beauty Store website.

So to sum it all up...

Pros:
-actually affordable (the jar is about 16oz). This is the size I am referring to!
-also comes in a smaller size, which is 8oz. I believe it is $9.99.
-has scent but it's not overwhelming.
-actually works esp. for damaged and dry hair.
-does soften the hair and improve manageability.

Cons:
-not accessible everywhere, can be found only at Sally's Beauty Store (in my knowledge).
-over $10 USD per jar for 16 oz. I know people might think, "DANG! a conditioner more than $10?! Jesus!" but girls, this stuff ACTUALLY works! And a jar can last up to a month or longer. Remember, quality over quantity!!!

Packaging is fine, actually. It's a jar so you twist the cap open and dip your fingers into those yellow colored cream. BAM, easy. No more squeezing those bottles. And you can actually see how much you have left. I don't mind the jar at all.

Ingredients: (from Sally's website word by word)
"Water, Cetearyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium Chloride, Glycerin, Amodimethicone, Cetyl Esters, Sodium PCA, Fragrance, Methylparaben, Trideceth-12, Sunflower Seed Oil, Chlorhexidine, Dihydrochloride, Cetrimonium Chloride, Yellow 5."

More information regarding this product can be found on Sally's Beauty Store website. Think about it, if the salon uses it, it has to be good. I gave it a try and it really works. My guy friends randomly play with my hair and tells me it's as soft as a dog's fur. That's how soft it is, if you can imagine. I will not recommend something such as a $13.00 conditioners if it does not work. I have no money or time to waste and I do not want to waste yours. It also comes in a smaller size too if you guys are still not to fond of the price. If you decided to give it a try, let me know how it goes after a week of using it daily.

I know I have been MIA for the past few months. Part of it is because of the scars I have left from shingles on my face (the scar is on the left side of the picture next to my nose area). I am very self-concious because of it. Doesn't help at all because it is on my face. I just felt "ugly" with it even though the scars are fading. Many things happen while I was gone. I got a new hair cut and also dyed my hair again. This is a recent picture of me. Btw, I turned 21 in September! I'm finally legal :D

Also, I have another blog called Art 220. It's serves as a journal and it is required in one of my art class. Feel free to visit the blog and see what I do in class :)

I miss you girls and hope to get back in touch with all of you! I hope I can blog more often too!
