Review of #RightColorMatters by Chez Vous Hair Salon Singapore

Review of #RightColorMatters by Chez Vous Hair Salon Singapore

Have you ever been confused with beauty terms such as "skin tones", "undertones", etc.? It's almost like we can never be certain what our skin tones or undertones are, unless we consult a beauty professional. Even if we do know, how do we ascertain which hair colours are right for us? Understanding which colours flatter our skin tones is important. Different colours produce different vibes and the right hair colour can enhance our facial features, brighten our complexion and improve our style & overall look.

This is where Chez Vous Hair salon comes to the rescue! In collaboration with Goldwell Singapore, Chez Vous designed #RightColourMatters - an Asian-centric hair colour diagnosis methodology that helps to find hair shades that best complement you!

Review of COCO & EVE Like A Virgin Super Nourishing Coconut & Fig Hair Masque

Review of COCO & EVE Like A Virgin Super Nourishing Coconut & Fig Hair Masque Singapore

best hair mask singapore blog

My hair journey these recent years has been somewhat a crazy one - from browns to ash shades, vibrant colours such as pink & purple, and the daily flat iron and hot-curling, I am pretty lucky that I even have a full head of tresses right now!

Constantly on the lookout of a good homecare hair masque, the first time I spotted COCO & EVE was on Instagram. I was immediately drawn to the colours & design of the packaging! It was only a couple of weeks ago that I finally had the opportunity to test out the product on myself, and boy, I quickly grabbed it!

The brand came to the UK late 2017 and has already won over plenty of beauty fans. Founded in Bali, the masque was created to get your hair back to its purest a.k.a virgin state, with only the best ingredients.

Best selling points : completely free from sulphates and parabens, gluten-free, cruelty-free and 100% vegan and is made using 5 key ingredients: coconut, fig, shea butter, argan oil and linseed.

SS Shiny Hair Curler Korea Review : Are those Qoo10 cheap hair curlers worth your time?


Ever thought of owning a hair gadget that can help you manage your flat, limp hair better (but at a more affordable price)? I suspect with the humidity levels in Singapore, half of you my lovely readers here will be answering a resounding "YES"!

We all dream of beautiful flowy tresses - some of us wished we look half as beautiful as those Korean actresses we see in drama with natural big waves or cute chic curls.

For example...
Song Hye Kyo
If you think Korean celebrities are all born with natural beautiful wavy locks, then I am sorry to burst your bubble - you're freaking wrong. Most if not all, of them have a personal hairstylist who takes care of their hair and style them into perfection every single time they go for a shoot.

As normal people, we probably don't have such luxury of a 24-hour personal human hairstylist on standby. The best alternative to this will be a good electronic hair gadget to assist us in this matter.

I have owned several straightening irons & hair curling tongs throughout my life of vanity. (Haha!) And in my opinion, a good hairstyler must be:

1. Easy to Use
2. Handy & Convenient (I travel a lot, and the last thing I need is something bulky to take up luggage space.)
3. Versatile in creating various hairstyles
4. Affordable or at least, value-for-money.

With these criteria in mind, I had never stopped my quest for the next better hairstyling tool... and I unexpectedly came across something interesting on Qoo.10 while shopping online for household items...

SS Shiny SMART QUEEN Hair Curler Korea 
(NEW Wireless 2017 Version)


My hand is there for you to have a rough gauge of the size of this hair curler. It measures about 27cm long and weighs 170g, which is pretty handy & tiny for my hands actually.


It comes in a box, a low quality white pouch (which I threw away upon receiving it), a charger and charging cable. The cable is just a normal cable that we use to charge your Samsung phones & tablets. The charger is two-pin and requires an international adapter for it to plug into our Singapore socket.




For more product information, please click HERE.

It has three selections for level of heat, as well as a battery level indicator. It claims to be made of gold diamond ceramic coating. Gold-in-colour yes, ceramic...yes, diamond, I have no idea. Seriously, it cost me merely a total of SGD 57.00 including shipping fees, so I don't expect to see real diamonds you know. 

Anyway, let us explore some of the hairstyles I successfully created with the gadget!

Sweet Typical Korean C-Curl Hairstyle





This takes about 15 minutes or less, and needs minimal skills (Just keep brushing your hair inwards). I was very thorough with the curling - I sectioned my hair into 4 levels and further divided them into few more handfuls before I started to curl each handful. 100% battery was used up to recreate this hairstyle.


Sexy Big Curls

Forget sexy. "Sexy" and Faith hardly roll together. 

This is my feeble attempt to curl my hair outwards to produce a more voluminous "big hair" kinda waves. I don't know how you feel about this hairstyle, but seriously, I don't like it enough. And to top it off, I spent 20 minutes of my life on something that didn't last beyond the 3rd hour.

Hi lovelies,

This post is not a review since I reviewed this salon before, just a quick "Dayre" type of post update (typing on my iPhone actually).

I just did my hair again at Hair Studio Flamingo and this time I got myself the Korean see-through bangs! 
How do you like it?

Hair Studio Flamingo Singapore Neil Road review


Really pleased with how it turned out. Love the brown colour as I am sick of golden hair. What I adore especially is the customised 5-step treatment! If you followed me on Instagram, you'd have seen my IG stories capturing the moments while I had the haircut & treatment.

Marco, the boss, did my hair this time round. His cut is fabulous and I really love it! Communication with him was excellent because both Marco and Ayumi speak good English.

Update (1 week later)
As you may already know, Flamingo markets itself as a specialist of "easy maintanence hairstyles", and as evidenced in the photo below, my hair really doesn't need any styling at all (ZERO hair cream/wax/straightener/spray etc.) and it still looks so awesomely silky!! Even my bangs do not need blowdrying!! I'm impressed, really. DO NOT miss their hair treatment!

Review of Yves Rocher Hair Rinsing Vinegar, Low Shampoo Delicate Cleansing and Exceptional Hair Serum


Sponsored 



Have you been on an escalator at Ngee Ann City Singapore and when you reach Basement 2, a cosy corner store named YVES ROCHER caught your attention? Well it did for me, because I am a fan of Yves Saint Laurent. Haha! Anyway, the two has no connections except for their first names and of course their country of origin. :)

Yves Rocher is a French beauty care brand that was founded for 50 years. The brand was only introduced in Singapore three years ago. Yves Rocher focuses mainly on botanical research and uses natural plant ingredients in their products.

Moist Diane Shiny Shampoo & Conditioner and Moroccan Argan Oil Review

Sponsored


Recently my hair has been dry and quite brittle. I am trying to grow out my hair to a even longer length, so I do not trim often, resulting in dryness and split ends.

Was pretty stoked when Moist Diane sent me a set of Shiny Shampoo & Conditioner and Moroccan Argan Oil.

Soft & Silky Hair with The Scene Hair Salon at Raffles City

Top Singapore Influencer 2016
Hair troubles are one of the worst problems for a woman, especially when it comes to nearing festive seasons.
I was relieved when The Scene Hair Salon at Raffles City invited me to sample their hair services. I hope to do something for my dry, dull hair - be it a perm, a treatment or even a huge change of colour.

The Scene Hair Salon at Raffles City Review
Conveniently located at a prime central location, Raffles City S.C. (at City Hall MRT station), The Scene Hair Salon is a fairly new Korean hair salon; under the same hair group of Dusol Beauty Singapore.

There were already many reviews and even Youtube videos on Dusol Beauty, hence I was pretty certain I would be in good (Korean) hands. Some information about the hairstylists of The Scene @Raffles:

I was served by the very experienced hairstylist, Jade, and he advised me against perms as parts of my hair had been bleached and looks damaged. Being a cautious person that I am, I took heed of his advice and we proceeded to undergo their popular DEESSE's [L.M] 3+1 Hair Treatment: a 4-step hair treatment to nourish & repair the hair.

Review of Swisse Hair Skin Nails and Swisse Argan Face Oil


"Beauty comes from within." Cliche as it sounds, it's true.

Hang on a sec, I am not advocating the importance of inner beauty; of course that's important but we shall leave that for another day.

I do believe that if a person really wants to look good, besides the products he/she slaps on the skin, it is pertinent that he/she reviews the stuff he/she puts into his/her mouth. "Garbage in, garbage out" couldn't be more apt here.

When we are in our early twenties, we probably don't give too much thought about what goes into our body, much less to say faithfully ingest a good health/beauty supplement. Now that I have hit my big 3, I am more receptive when people recommend me good health supplements. 

 Swisse Hair Skin Nails+

My hubby is an avid traveller due to his work nature, and he has a special interest in health products. When he first bought me this Swisse Hair Skin Nails+ from Australia about 5 months ago, I was still quite skeptical if it suits me. After reading the ingredients list, I find that it seems no harm giving it a try.



Click to enlarge ingredient list
After trying Swisse Hair Skin Nails+ for a couple of months (1 pill per day), I started seeing the brand's advertisements airing on my local TV. Quite happy to see that Singapore has imported this from the Down Under! Swisse Singapore engaged our local celebrity, Rebecca Lim, to endorse this supplement.


Seeing Rebecca as their ambassador puts my heart at ease - I felt like I could trust her. Haha!

Hello Faithy Lovelies!
As you know, I have just arrived home from my long summer holiday. I was blessed to be able to visit quite a few cool cities over a month's time - Santorini, Athens, Mykonos, Seoul, San Francisco, Munich and Salzburg.

I hope to have time to do a travelogue series and pen down my travel journey at these fabulous cities, one by one. For now, I'd like to first show you my travel lookbook + a glimpse of the places I covered this month alone, before I end my post by sharing with you some tips on looking good while overseas.
