KARMIN review!!

A while ago I won Nikki's sponsored giveaway and the prize is this beautiful KARMIN hair styler pictured on the right...

I have used it several times and it's times to do review on it. I have mentioned how I love the sleek design and the white color... now that I have actually put the tool into action I have some thoughts that I'd love to share with you guys..

I can say overall I love this KARMIN hair styler because it lives up to its promise of super fast heating time..

The Pros are:
  • Heats up real fast, I only use the 180 and 240 heat level, and it heats up in about (if not less than) 10 seconds.
  • The heat last very long before it starts re-heat-ing again.
  • Very lightweight. It's not a problem to carry this on my everyday bag
The Cons are:
  • I wish the ion plate is larger. I know I said I love the sleekness of the tool, but when it comes to using it to straighten hair (I have lots of hair) and make bigger curl, I found it a little bit hard.
But overall I love this product because it saves me lots of time, here's the look of my hair about a week ago, I needed to finish doing my hair & touched up my makeup in about 30-40minutes before we needed to leave the house for a wedding reception. I'm not good with hair as I have said many times before so excuse the messiness :p

Sorry for the bad angle, I took this pic quickly because hubby was already waiting on the door hahaha.. Basically I curled my hair with KARMIN and then arrange it with bobby pins. I really didnt have much time so I kinda did my hair without even looking at it until I finished everything -.-"
Here's the front view...


Didn't have time to finish all of the hair so I just ponny tailed the rest  :p

And here's another look that I created a while ago for a contest, but I chickened out the last minute because I thought I didn't do a good job ^^"

I have another look that I did for another contest too, but I mixed up on the due date and missed the submission date hahaha...will keep that for my next post..lest I have nothing to blog about XD X3

I think I'm ready to go back into bloggingworld!! yay!!
Take care everyone!!

One steamy hot night...

During one of those summer hot night... I lost my head over the heat...
and I baked cookies....
hahaha...I know I should have stayed away from the oven but I just thought "whatever...it's hot anyway...and I want some cookies"
So I stayed full awake until 2am and made my healthy dose of cookies ^^
This cookies recipe is my guilt-free indulgence because it contains no flour and no sugar at all. I used ripe bananas for the sweetening agent and also dark chocolate. As for the flour, I substituted it with rolled oats and almond meal.
I usually eat most of the cookies myself ...hubby likes it too but he's not big on cookies and cakes so most of them are MINE.. hahaha...not so healthy after all... -.-"


and here's some random purchase from SASA.. I have been giving alot attention to my hair lately because since I went to Thailand last year I have lost alot of hair and noticed slow re-growth plus major dryness...

DHC vitamins, Essential shampoo, conditioner and hair mask, and kose softymo cleansing oil. All from Japan. I haven't used the essential series because I'm still going on my Kracie shampoo at the moment...

I use hair mask everytime I wash my hair now...and it helps alot with the dryness, eventhough my hair still look dry but it has improved alot. I have used tsubaki hair treatment mask (the red one) before and it works very well...but it's pretty pricey.. so after I saw Kathy from LotusPalace review on this Cosmetex Roland hair mask I got really excited because it's big (300ml) and cheap (USD 7.7 if I remember correctly). After I used it for the first time I fell in love with it...I think it works as well as the tsubaki... I will definetely re-purchase!


Melbourne is not as hot anymore...we've been getting funny variation of hot days, hailings, storms, moderate cloud, and fine days...

How are you guys doing?? hope everyone is well!! :))

Ron Mueck Exhibit

Hellow everyone...I've been semi MIA lately...aside from work I just feel that I need a little time off blog, for some reasons :)  I hope everyone is doing well.

A while ago I went with a friend to an exhibition of Australian prominent sculptor, Ron Mueck, at the Victorian Art Center. His works were very impressive, so meticulous and detailed, but I do not wish to remain in the same room with his works at night time hahaha.....

I'd love to share some pictures with you :)


note: There are some nudity entails in the artworks, so if you mind please skip this post :)
 Guess whose face is that??

 
 This one is called "the mask" note the pores and minute beard hair, even the eyelashes look so real


 
Take a guess??


 Did someone say KFC?

 
  Human sized chicken




The thinking lady

 One big thinking lady....

 
These grandmas look as lively as the grandma on the background

Astonishing details ...love how the flabs look so human :D


 
 Actually the sculpture is mini sized

 
This one is fantabulous...the proportion of everything is excellent!

One cute big baby, before you say "ugly", we all did look like that when we first came out of our mum's womb hahaha :D

I enjoyed the exhibition very much :) I hope you enjoy the picture too...

Have a nice day everyone!
