I bought them from <a href="https://shope.ee/5ATviZYUHU" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Shopee link here</a><b>. </b>I'm glad there are many designs in one store. It was so tough to find similar ones!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="312" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kJm-qVQORw4" width="275" youtube-src-id="kJm-qVQORw4"></iframe></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Here are what I learnt from fixing them:</div><div><br /></div><div>1) Ensure the handles design is similar. There are so many kinds! </div><div><br /></div><div>2) Remove the handles from luggage and measure the length of the handles but more importantly, the distance between the screws.</div><div><br /></div><div>3) KEEP parts of the old ones as spares. Especially the screws and the inner part of the handles.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I think the most troublesome part is looking for the right design and size. Of course there are luggage repair shops around Klang Valley but if you're a DIY and frugal person, I hope this vid helps!</div></div>voguelyvivienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01315555528279810468noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5213459317424245648.post-72317579496621444932024-01-21T07:53:00.000-08:002024-01-21T07:54:45.548-08:00Shopping in Bricksfield aka Little India Malaysia (So underrated!)<p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">A friend invited me to her Indian wedding so I find myself shopping at Bricksfield at the start of the year and thought it was quite an experience! Accessories shopping was one of the main to dos, the other was to find a lehenga _ cropped blouse with full twirly skirt and an Indian shawl called dupatta.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I was planning to rent from <b>Saimika Trends</b>, check out the two pretty lehengas I tried! Unfortunately I was too short and was literally dragging 4-5inches of the skirt even with the heels on! *cries</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi40VEN6-oaiORHifxDFlYLu44RofRnf9rYBZuC_Mta0cK5KEoSAFyqeG6ov9NXdu8x3jyecs5SDNlQ2CGBbK34DmgwPr7Jjfxnb8uVSpzuWObM9nrhlT0KC5ND_mM0x2s5IkmPJWviTTqgTKOQt3OzCizQ2m9Gx0_Ul3XElg4N4j6hOFMWPpaTyNZq4lE/s2400/PhotoCollage_20240119_230942973.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="2400" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi40VEN6-oaiORHifxDFlYLu44RofRnf9rYBZuC_Mta0cK5KEoSAFyqeG6ov9NXdu8x3jyecs5SDNlQ2CGBbK34DmgwPr7Jjfxnb8uVSpzuWObM9nrhlT0KC5ND_mM0x2s5IkmPJWviTTqgTKOQt3OzCizQ2m9Gx0_Ul3XElg4N4j6hOFMWPpaTyNZq4lE/w640-h512/PhotoCollage_20240119_230942973.jpg" title="My lehenga experience" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: center;">Still I thought they were all super pretty and if you're at least 160cm with any Indian theme occasions coming up, do consider renting from this shop. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Another option is to get your own bc you can find pretty affordable sarees or anarkali dresses. This one I wouldn't recommend unless you plan wear them often! Here are some of the pretty anarkali and kurti I found on Shopee. Some are dressy and some can be worn on casual basis. You can wear during Thaipusam, Deepavali, Merdeka, Hari Malaysia and anytime! There are dressier ones too:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://shope.ee/9KJ5kgM6Oe" target="_blank">Gradient anarkali</a></p><p dir="ltr"></p><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://shope.ee/3VLIosuPgL" target="_blank">White anarkali (pretty cool!) with colorful dupatta</a></div><p></p><p dir="ltr"></p><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://shope.ee/9zYmZvDH3w" target="_blank">White dupatta with gold details</a></div><p></p><p dir="ltr"></p><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://shope.ee/2fmBpCEtQv" target="_blank">Beige dupatta</a></div><p></p><p dir="ltr"></p><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://shope.ee/9KJ5mePgag" target="_blank">Green dupatta with gold details</a></div><p></p><p dir="ltr"></p><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://shope.ee/9pFMNjss7w" target="_blank">Mustard anarkali with green dupatta</a> </div><p></p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://shope.ee/9evwBSFAb4" target="_blank">White floral kurti set</a></p><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Back to accessories shopping, I actually wanted a <b>jhumka earrings</b>, also known as jimmikis.

This is truly the month for celebrations πππΎ</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I did most of the social gatherings at the start of the month so as to avoid the crowds or queues. True enough from friends and social media, everywhere is packed the past weeks. Even as I'm writing this I hear there are crowds ready to countdown!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">2023 has been quite an adventure personally which is why vlogging has taken a few place down π€ Still, content creating has been fun and serves as a reminder for all the adventures and new things I've tried. Perhaps even something to reminisce in the future. I'm grateful of all the privileges I can enjoy while there are so many not so nice things happening in the world now.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I pray 2024 will be a better year for all ππ» Thank you and I wish everyone the bestest for the new year β€</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HQdcKVhSGHI" width="320" youtube-src-id="HQdcKVhSGHI"></iframe></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;">~β‘~</h2><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Sharing some of my hauls featured on this vlog. The first is from Bialetti Official Store on Shopee _ a <b><a href="https://shope.ee/99zlStLB1I" target="_blank">Bialetti 3 cup moka pot in red from their Rainbow Collection</a></b> and a <b><a href="https://shope.ee/1ftpk3LuPC" target="_blank">gray-black thermos</a></b> of the same brand.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">In the vlog I mentioned that I was disappointed at how the moka pot came with torn packaging and super dusty. Still, it turned out to be in good condition so I didnt find a need to return it. So far I've used it and am satisfied. I have been wanting to get it but previously they retail at over RM200+ which is why I hesitated.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I wouldn't say it produces strong espresso_ I'm told the pressure bar of a mokapot is a fraction from a coffee machine. The coffee it produces is slightly stronger than made with my Daiso dripper obviously.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I'm actually interested to get the6 mokapot in Blue and <b><a href="https://shope.ee/8f3Ut0sYrr" target="_blank">Alpina</a></b> (the one with unique shape) just for collection HAHAHAHA. I think the <b><a href="https://invl.io/clkirqm" target="_blank">Paris version</a></b> is nice too. Or the <b><a href="https://shope.ee/5V6ZqrkWUX" target="_blank">espresso maker</a></b>. Or <a href="https://shope.ee/8Uk6ItimC9" target="_blank"><b>Bincoo "double valve" moka pot</b>.</a> Woops.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Hear me out tho! The 3-cup mokapot somehow IMO produces enough for 1-2. I want to share it with a bunch of friends so its either getting a larger one (like a 6-cup) or just get more than 1 in a different design LOL. It'll be an interesting collection!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Update: I just checked the price and it's reverted to their original price of RM200++ *cry. So I guess you can reserve it for the next sale! I bought mine on 11.11 therefore the price.</p>voguelyvivienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01315555528279810468noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5213459317424245648.post-49386242391540353662023-12-30T00:19:00.000-08:002024-02-10T23:05:51.071-08:003D2N Desaru & Johor Bahru<p style="text-align: center;"> </p><p style="text-align: center;">Hi all! As mentioned in my last blog post, here is the vlog from my short getaway to Johor last month. I flew from Sepang Airport to Johor Bahru and then took the bus to Desaru where I stayed for a night in Four Point Sheraton before heading to JB (in an AirBnB) for another night.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Desaru Beach is quite a view with the long stretch of wide beach and almost nobody compared to Port Dickson. I'd say its a great place to really chill and relax π </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Since we just have 24 hours in JB, my friends and I managed to cover only a handful of places such as <b>Danga Bay, Tan Hooi Nee Street and Johor Premium Outlet.</b> Nevertheless it was quite fun and we fell in love with Souper Tang. They have a few branches in JB but very few in KL (apparently they closed off a few branches) π</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">JB feels abit like a combination of several states of Malaysia really. IMO KL is so much more happening. Still, it's great exploring!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="383" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Z7K4RYA-jvY" width="462" youtube-src-id="Z7K4RYA-jvY"></iframe></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>voguelyvivienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01315555528279810468noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5213459317424245648.post-25486388379260190162023-12-24T06:28:00.000-08:002024-01-26T06:16:32.181-08:00Cruising through November<p style="text-align: center;"> </p><p style="text-align: center;">Hello!! November came and gone just like that and already we are a few days before the new year! </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">This video appears short but that's because in November I was also getting my face done. See my last video on <b><a href="https://youtu.be/l3s1Q7WXzDo" target="_blank">my laser & subcision at Nexus Clinic</a></b>. That is actually the third of my three-parts videos on <b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lddf4E4uE90&list=PLuPUFuYrIBBJHmv6rVXu3M4Q735FkX24N" target="_blank">my mini Skincare Series</a></b>. Do check out the other two!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Besides that, I also did a short Cuti Cuti Malaysia. The video on the latter coming up soon so wait for it!! </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="381" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/e75RiHhbhgE" width="459" youtube-src-id="e75RiHhbhgE"></iframe></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">~<span style="font-size: 20px; text-align: left;">β‘</span>~</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">In the vlog I shared some of the Shopee hauls for the month. You can see the timestamp from about 5:23 in the video above. Just for your convenience, here are the obligatory affiliate links for y'all:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://shope.ee/3fevfqDokk" target="_blank">Belts</a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://shope.ee/2q5og9Y5iA" target="_blank">Foldable umbrella </a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://shope.ee/8zgS1uMFTH" target="_blank">Soap dispenser</a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://shope.ee/3feu7mqgGF" target="_blank">Rotating beauty organizer</a> (A different design as the one I got is sold out)</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://shope.ee/1qDFwS5VvY" target="_blank">Two-tier, 45L capacity dustbin for my recyclables</a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Btw, I was keeping the foldable umbrella back into my tote bag the other day and someone came up to ask where I got it from HAHA!

I remember saying that the last year when I did subcision but apparently I've forgot about it. Giving myself a huge eyeballs roll and smack on my face. By now I probably already went for laser like 4 times and subcision 1 time.<b> So with this latest one, in total 7 facial laser/subcision?</b> Yikes!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="365" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/l3s1Q7WXzDo" width="439" youtube-src-id="l3s1Q7WXzDo"></iframe></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">This time I went to <b>Nexus Clinic </b>with the intention of removing a scarring. I have been at Nexus back in 2015 for a mole removal. Initially I wanted a small treatment but they suggested a full face. And I actually agreed. Because I was like yeah, the scars are still obvious and since I'm there might as well.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">What I didn't know is that I signed up for <b>BOTH subcision AND fractional C02 laser</b>. Unlike what I did in Ting Skin Clinic, they poke a hole only once on each side of my face. Thankfully they have like a super strong numbing cream. The needle is phobia-inducing. Not fun. Then comes the laser. I thought no biggie, I've done this before should be OK right? It was so painful I was shaking under the covers, squeezing the stress ball and tearing up. Mind you, this is the only time I get a stress ball. When the doc ask if it's OK, I stuttered at my reply. Dafuq.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">That's why they have like a massaging thingy on your forehead and another nurse was massaging my arm. I must've jolted a lot. That when the numbing cream was still in effect. <b>The pain was terrible a few hours later I can barely talk or gargle my mouth.</b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><h1 style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Post-Treatment & Care</span></b></h1><p style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>Day 1 (Same day):</b> Bled a bit on my right side. Stinging pain all over and swelling on cheeks & forehead. I couldn't wash my face bc it hurts so I dabbed tissue after wetting my face with the antimicrobial spray.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>Day 2: </b>My face swelled and hurt in the morning. The It's still the weekend so I moisturise as often as I can. There is bleeding and some yellow liquid (I suspect </p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>Day 3-4: </b>There are minor bruising on the parts where the needle went in. Yes, it still hurt slightly.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>Day 5-6:</b> More of the dry skin either flakes away or gets removed from me washing my face. The bruises are still there.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>Day 7-8: </b>The bruise appears minimal _ like I've burst-some-pimples-and-they're-recovering minimal. At least I felt more ok going out looking like that.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">My Verdict</span></h1><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>I do find the service here</b>. They took their time throughout the process. They also apply the same antimicrobial spray and moisturiser post treatment. <b>Would recommend if you don't feel like waiting on queue and you want to pay by card. The cons is probably the pain from the fractional C02 laser.</b> </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">On the other hand, I think their subcision is less painful than when I first did in Ting Skin Clinic. That's my personal opinion lar, someone need to validate by going to both and share their experience LOL. Perhaps the pain from the laser actually made it seems less worst. <b>One thing I noticed, the inside of my mouth felt swollen and I think this is from the needle!</b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">The downtime or 'ugly days' are usually less than a week based on my past experiences at Ting Skin Specialist. So I can tell they really went all in this time...</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"> Thankfully I didn't take package because I don't think I want to put myself through this again. It really, really hurts! I'm really praying this is the last!!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">One advice for youngsters or just anyone: <b>Keep your itchy fingers off your face</b>. It'll save you time, money and the pain to get clear skin again. Instead, get proper acne products, there are so many options and good ones these days!</p>voguelyvivienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01315555528279810468noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5213459317424245648.post-9939387983473294872023-12-13T05:19:00.000-08:002023-12-13T05:19:58.893-08:00my experience having subcision aka needling<p style="text-align: center;"> </p><p style="text-align: center;">This post was written back in<b> July 2022</b>. It took a long time to post it and my almost full (ok, it is full) phone memory to finally get it out hahaha.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">~<span style="font-size: 20px; text-align: left;">β‘</span>~</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">It wasn't plan. I was there for a post one-month laser surgery checkup. While most of my face seems smoother, the deeper scars have remain.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I didn't captured the whole process and regretted a bit because I'm curious. But I could tell it was super bleedy just from the vid I manage to take and from how bloody the gauze I had to hold while pressing my face (more on that soon!)</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">This time I left home early and arrived at 915AM only to be told I'm 59 in line and to return at 3PM WTF.. Again I had many hours to kill. The fam was around KL so I hung out with them for several hours and on my own later bc I'm too lazy to go home and come out again. Which is why when I went to the clinic and the doc suggested subcision I was like, "why not since I'm out". Like I already spent 6 hours waiting and 20k steps. Sunk cost effect decision WTF.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>I was later told by the nurse that if I've decided to do either laser/subcision, they could put me up the line and I didn't have to wait. That's a tip for y'all.</b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">So like usual, the nurse applied cream anaesthetic and then had me wait while the numbing takes effect. Then right before the procedure, the doc inject anaesthetic and this works instantly. I could tell from how my skin felt frozen in place. That was the part captured in the video. Even before the suncision procedure started it's bloody already lol.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I actually didn't feel much pain on the right side when he was working on it. But my left side OMG they made me flinch with pain. <b>They hurt so much but only at the points worked on unlike laser where my whole face felt like burning. </b>The pain went on for the next hour or so. Btw, I think the whole procedure was 15-20minutes but I was lying down putting pressure on my face with my palms. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Think like the famous painting "The Scream" except that I was screaming internally. Won't say its the worst pain I've felt but it wasn't pleasant and so I'm not sure I'd recommend to everyone unless you really want to look pretty lah.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Conclusion, if you have deep, moon craters-is scars, this may be a better procedure and then the CO2 fractional laser if you want a flawless finish. Also it hurt for less the time than doing laser. After 3 laser and 1 subcision procedures, I think I have done enough HAHAHA (2023 Me: No, you went through another one...). Oklah the pain is worth it but I just don't feel like going through it again. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">This post is rather short but if you have any qs, feel free to comment in this post or on my Ytube channel and I'll try to answer them! </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="358" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/H1OOumOjOpk" width="431" youtube-src-id="H1OOumOjOpk"></iframe></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>voguelyvivienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01315555528279810468noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5213459317424245648.post-7394245959572420582023-12-13T05:11:00.000-08:002023-12-13T05:11:46.211-08:00my third laser surgery at Ting Skin Clinic<p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">This post was written back in<b> June 2022</b>. It took a long time to post it and my almost full (ok, it is full) phone memory to finally get it out hahaha.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">~<span style="font-size: 20px; text-align: left;">β‘</span>~</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>This is TOTALLY NOT a sponsored post. </b>The clinic is my choice simply because I've done two similar procedures a few years prior and several skin consultations because my skin condition wasn't the nicest. Still isn't, damn adult acnes and mask-cnes!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>TL;DR: This works for me. It hurts then I had an ugly one week. I feel prettier now (It wasn't an insecurity but rather vanity). You're most welcome.</b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></p><p style="text-align: center;">The thought of getting another laser surgery popped up during the lockdown. I think I was checking myself out in the mirror too often (out of boredom) and decided I really want another laser. After my second sesh a few years back, I was satisfied bc there were quite some improvement. Yeah, you can imagine how bad the scarring is from my itchy fingers. With Covid19, I was concerned about getting exposed to the virus so this got dragged on until after awhile when things fully opened up. It got delayed bc I kept making contents for fun LOL</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">The night before I was still contemplating and then decided to just YOLO as soon as I woke up (that really happened). It was a moody morning and I thought there would be fewer people who turned up. I was so wrong! There was a wait even at the entrance when I arrived at 10am and I was told my turned would be at the end of the day at 5pm (=A=) So I went around KL (walked to LaLaport LOL) and home before coming out again.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">The procedure</span></h2><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">A quick consultation with Dr Ting (I presumed) and he suggested I do needling which would be better for deeper scars like mine. I told him I've done laser in this clinic twice before and so we proceeded with that. Soon the assistant-nurse-doc-staff-idk assist with applying the numbing cream. I think I waited for the cream to take affect about 15mins before being ushered to the procedure room. Then it's another 15-20minutes of the laser.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">The start of the session was OK but it did hurt in the area closer to my ears. Idk if its because they applied lesser numbing cream or the skin there are much sensitive. At the end of the session the prickling heat got to me and I started fidgeting from the pain. Didn't help I was shivering from the cold too.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Soon it's another round of quick consultation for the doc to see the result before I leave. I was prescribed a cream and told to come for another appointment in the following month.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Day 1</span></h2><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Right after I left, my face felt throbbing, hot and prickly. IDK if its bc I've been out and about the whole day (my phone showed I've walked at least 26,000 steps), I felt super tired and didn't want to talk bc it was hard opening my mouth. I also had some<b> minor headache</b>.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">It's been years since I had the last two laser and I don't remember if they were this bad. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Washing my face was a bit painful. But I noticed the pain calmed down either from the cool water or my beauty routine. I also applied the cream they've prescribed. Tho awhile later, the throbbing returned (T___T)</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Day 2</span></h2><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Aside from the first wash in the morning which stings abit, the pain has pretty much subside. Throughout the day<b> I noticed (mostly) plasma and blood oozing out</b>. Had to wipe and re-wash my face. The tiny dots have darkened making my face looks like I've gotten a bad sunburn. The skin felt taut so opening my mouth feels troublesome but otherwise all I'd good. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">If you have face masks with soothing ingredients such as aloe vera or cucumber or royal jelly, it'll be nice to apply them on the first two days when the skin is still sensitive. IMO it'll feel good. I won't want to use a lemon extract masks or anything abrasive or scrubs.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Day 3</span></h2><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">The pain and plasma-blood secretion has subside by now. I could wash my face without the stinging feel. The dots are still dark, dry and scaly but I noticed some spots are almost my normal skin color.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">By midday, some if the 'spots' fell off. I try not to scrape them off and let them do naturally. I applied toner and the prescribed cream a few times throughout the day since I feel my skin is dry.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">By the end of the day, my face was so oily I was using so many blotting papers and my hands felt oily wtf. This is quite unusual for me. Also,<b> tons of spots & dry skin started flaking</b>.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">At night, there were more flakes and so I thought I could remove them while washing my face with my silicone facial brush-tip (the Innisfree one). It wasn't until after I got out did I check the mirror and found that my skin was so red like raw meat! I was worried I've scrubbed too soon. The redness lasted all night. Would recommend you wash face without using silicone scrubs.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Also <b>my skin got super oily</b>, I think from the cream and the skin natural reaction bc it was dry. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Day 4-6</span></b></h2><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I woke up with less but still noticeable redness but the skin has slightly darker. I think they've dried and will become dry scabs. <b>Skin was dry until I slather cream and then it's oily again wtf</b>. I just let it be.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">At night I applied masks but removed it in less than 5 minutes because I felt some stinging sensation on my chin. Wasn't sure if that's something to do with the ingredients of the masks but I didn't check.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">From this day onwards, my <b>skin looks flushed</b> and people can't tell that just a few days ago I just had laser. There were still some parts near the side of my forehead that didnt shed off by themselves. I see them on my silicone tips while washing my face.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Day 7</span></b></h2><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">By the end of the week, I look like normal again. I'm always impressed how the recovery time or rather 'ugly days' are short. In fact, I didn't remember ever doing the procedure after the week because I was so consumed with things to do!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Conclusion</span></b></h2><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">While I do think there were differences for the smaller pores that isn't too visible now, some scars are still noticeable but I mask up most of the time anyways. In fact by the time I returned to office, I don't think my colleagues notice any differences. I didn't get to ask them because I came down with a terrible flu and had to wfh. These days it's better to wfh if there are any sickness... *sigh*</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">At this point, the result is ah-okay but I'm unsure if I'd see more change in the coming days or weeks. I'm not too eager with the idea of subjecting myself to pain (I've became weak wtf) but idk if I'll give in to another procedure during the follow up session in a few weeks. Even so, I've not have laser sessions arranged right after the other and don't know if that will make my skin more sensitive. Also like at how many sesh is too many?</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">If you haven't watch my vid, here it is! I put in effort to share with y'all. <b>Please like, comment and subscribe.</b> Yes, you can drop me a question about the laser procedure if you have!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="380" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Lddf4E4uE90" width="458" youtube-src-id="Lddf4E4uE90"></iframe></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>voguelyvivienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01315555528279810468noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5213459317424245648.post-19486613254986176482023-11-20T07:01:00.000-08:002023-11-20T07:04:26.863-08:00Ipoh Travel Vlog 2D2N<p>Hello!!

This tote bag has been abandoned for many moons now since I deemed it not presentable enough with the color turning crusty even though I was using it for less than 6 months!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I love this tote bag because of its design, size and material. However for the price tag and brand, the quality has proven to be quite a disappointment. For one, I own another black tote bag which I bought for about RM15 from Kaison that doesn't discolored despite years of wear.

The dye dries fast and doesn't leave any funny paint odour which is good. So far it's been two weeks and no issues yet. I did accidentally paint over the words. I didn't try to scrub the dye off but I think it's possible to come off.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>One tip is to dab the wet brush on the canvas close to the fonts and let the canvas absorbs the paint itself. </b>Rather than trying to paint by the lines. It came out nicely except for some parts because I was impatient lol</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"> And how much did it cost me? <b><a href="https://shope.ee/LOTiIGMgc" target="_blank">The canvas paint is just RM15.90 from Shopee</a> (Rm18.32 including delivery)</b>! So far it's it's two weeks and the bag is still looking good. I still have maybe 1/3 bottle of dye after painting the entire bag. You'd probably need to adjust for the larger size ones. I cannot imagine the effort needed to paint the bigger ones tho. Yikes!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Anyways I hope this post helps bc I totally didn't like it when my bag turned crusty!

Been wanting to try this range for awhile now. Instead of getting the set from the same range, might as well mix and match them! And somehow I do think they're amazing and I can feel the result.

I do notice smoother face texture in just a few applications! Felt like I just did laser. If I would've known, I'd save on laser sooner! But boy has there been a surge of beauty products recently! From the same shop, I actually ordered something else buy they didn't send and I'm still waiting for my refund.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Another very recent haul is the <b>Numbuzin No.3 Super Glowing Essence Toner (<a href="https://invl.io/cljuadd" target="_blank">Shopee</a>)</b>, prolly my best haul at just RM65.21 for not one but TWO 200ml bottles! This price after using the RM10 shop voucher and RM10ish Shopee voucher. Again another product I chanced upon many reviews online before making my purchase.

Because IMO there are too many lousy ones out there. I'm currently using a<b> marble print rubber workout mat (<a href="https://invl.io/cljpkj1" target="_blank">Shopee</a>)</b> and previously, <b>Forest Fitness workout mat</b> <b>(<a href="https://invl.io/cljpkil" target="_blank">Shopee</a>)</b>.

But most importantly, they freaking last longer! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If I have to decide, Forest Fitness is the better one.

I bought it thinking that it may lighten up my hair color so that I can color them in the other shades of Hello Bubble _ I knew the lighter shades won't turn up pretty on dark hair. Though I should have known light shades dyes on the market usually don't do much for dark hair *roll eyes*</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I'll spare you the trouble of attempting this yourself and advice you'd either bleach with Moremo Keratin Hair Bleach (if you want to DIY like me).</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">A few things I noticed with Moremo DIY dye is that they <b>smell good and leaves the hair really soft</b>. I think their formula is probably the best. The only <b>cons is that the are NOT in bubble or foam so application can be troublesome</b>.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763;"><b>MOREMO KERATIN<br /></b><b>Keratin Hair Bleach</b></span></h2><p style="text-align: center;"> </p><p style="text-align: center;">I've always wanted to try <b>Moremo Keratin Hair Bleach </b>(Get it from Shopee <a href="https://invle.co/clhmnuc" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">here</a><b> </b>& <a href="https://invle.co/clhmnv1" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">here</a>), I know they work from checking out reviews. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I've tried <b>eZn Creamy Hair bleach</b> a few times (<a href="http://www.voguelyvivien.com/2021/03/ezn-puddinghaircolor-truflemushroomblond.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://www.voguelyvivien.com/2022/07/bleaching-my-roots-and-then-dyeing-my.html" target="_blank">here</a>) but found that they could only bleached up to orange tone even if I leave it for long. That is good if you are not confident with using bleach and want to ensure that the end result is even. However, if you want to try lighter tones or bright colors like pink and blue, you do need to bleached it to yellow or platinum blonde.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Moremo could bleach your hair to those shades but they are tricky _ you might end up with different tones. I think mine didn't turn up even because I'm totally not a pro. It's tough when you're doing it on your own. The pros, I find <b>Moremo have really good formula _my hair doesn't feel dry from bleaching twice</b> but it probably will if I did another round IDK.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763;"><b>HELLO BUBBLE<br /></b><b>10AB Ash Beige</b></span></h2><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX7t0IEWUZjlOi0rP-oadXMGivKfJ8YEoeLMZ9aDkzlv-KaLeCMnXjTA-a2F72Nabh7Hqmc8OvY8NUkpAAO6Br8C0oVlxP8akv3fU6w3x4v5F6uzxxzofScnwqZjaOxZW3ffyZ5jENyMWDYsXOU5nHgqhRDMGKdZIgaQSvdw_Onyd_0IQgJOMHrpnV/s1235/HelloBubble_11_bbdd33e1-2850-45be-a750-02bc660608df_980x.progressive.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1235" data-original-width="980" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX7t0IEWUZjlOi0rP-oadXMGivKfJ8YEoeLMZ9aDkzlv-KaLeCMnXjTA-a2F72Nabh7Hqmc8OvY8NUkpAAO6Br8C0oVlxP8akv3fU6w3x4v5F6uzxxzofScnwqZjaOxZW3ffyZ5jENyMWDYsXOU5nHgqhRDMGKdZIgaQSvdw_Onyd_0IQgJOMHrpnV/s320/HelloBubble_11_bbdd33e1-2850-45be-a750-02bc660608df_980x.progressive.jpg" width="254" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">This was the color I was what first caught my attention.

I like this bc I think cool brown shades suits me better. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Looking back at the video and photos, this actually turned out closer to the photo of Rose with Ash Beige than Jisoo with Matt Brown... But it could be because I bleached my hair. The color theory is so messed up..</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">You can find it on Shopee <b><a href="https://invle.co/clhmo0n" target="_blank">here</a></b><b> </b>(from OS & with free shampoo sample) or cheaper <b><a href="https://invle.co/clhmnz9" target="_blank">here</a> </b>& <a href="https://invle.co/clhmnzh" target="_blank"><b>here</b></a>.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763;">HELLO BUBBLE<br />3NT Dark Choco</span></h2><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcfT6UIylgbH0Kc7HzPHFwW9nDGmayki3isRY4onaFgak0XWc2chrYIT3Fh3jSbBR_ZwNmZKIXXR0SPBTJkMJMMN9Kz6jReIcWEnOYCT_1JYjO1_hU42Mdvs_VXKY1hCBymC6u33Dx49eSXIKbMBrPgtA5j__g95rPJ4U3RByuSgZbwh1SfzufNtpX/s1235/HelloBubble_01_e9fdb49f-74b6-46bf-8e5a-67b032718051_980x.progressive.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1235" data-original-width="980" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcfT6UIylgbH0Kc7HzPHFwW9nDGmayki3isRY4onaFgak0XWc2chrYIT3Fh3jSbBR_ZwNmZKIXXR0SPBTJkMJMMN9Kz6jReIcWEnOYCT_1JYjO1_hU42Mdvs_VXKY1hCBymC6u33Dx49eSXIKbMBrPgtA5j__g95rPJ4U3RByuSgZbwh1SfzufNtpX/s320/HelloBubble_01_e9fdb49f-74b6-46bf-8e5a-67b032718051_980x.progressive.jpg" width="254" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;">I think this color totally turn up well on bleached hair. Love this shade! It is VIBRANT _ at least for the first few days _ and gives off the rich gal look (<i>Cehhhh</i>!). Though this color is probably the messiest to deal with. OMG it leaves stains that lasts for a few days on my arms and I can see that the color still runs when I wash my hair for the first week. BTW not to be mistaken with 6N Choco Brown shade though they do look the same. Get it from Shopee <a href="https://invle.co/clhmnyw" target="_blank"><b>here</b></a><b> </b>(from OS & with free shampoo sample) or cheaper <b><a href="https://invle.co/clhmnz9" target="_blank">here</a> </b>& <a href="https://invle.co/clhmnzh" target="_blank"><b>here</b></a>.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">If you're observant, you'd probably spot another shade of Hello Bubble in Dusty Ash in my video too. That was another color I really really want to achieve for the longest time. However, (again!) it didn't turn up well on yellow tone hair and fades into dusty green which lasted like just a few days if you wash your hair daily *groans* Overall, loving the new Hello Bubble lineup a lot! No, this is NOT a sponsored post, I'm just a very loyal customer of DIY hair dyes. Also I bought mine on Shopee during sales and with the free gifts LOL. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I'm also gonna add that the <b><a href="https://invle.co/clhmoxu" target="_blank">Mise En Scene Perfect Serum Original Shampoo</a></b> is SUPER AMAZING. It makes my hair look so healthy and feeling moisturized! I'd say it's the same level as <b><a href="https://invle.co/clhmonw" target="_blank">Marc Anthony's </a></b><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0000ee;"><b><u>Coconut Oil & Shea Butte</u></b></span></span><b><a href="https://invle.co/clhmonw" target="_blank"> shampoo</a></b> which is another personal fav, tried-and-tested shampoo. The packaging in my video appears to be the old version. They have rebranded into a sleeker new look (and there I was searching for it thinking they're different!). Also, for a free sample, I'd say the amount is very generous LOL</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">(BTW the set which link I provided retails at RM64 but I bought them during sale for RM42!

I tried drip coffee at <b>The Coffee Academy</b>. The quality of their coffee is amazing, they really got the skills! That day I tried the Colombia Exotic Jairo Arcila, the name <i>wahlaowei</i>. Anyways, it has a strong florally scent with moderate flavor which I like. I usually don't take black coffee without sugar but this is amazing on its own! Besides this, I think they also serve quite interesting options on their menu and I'm excited to go back and give a try. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">One interesting place I tried on my friends recommendation is an "authentic northern Sri Lankan cuisine" called <b>Yarl in Bricksfield</b>. We had the vegetarian (I think!) lunch set which is rice and four choice of dishes tho we added another small bowl of curry chicken. Of course I want my <i>masala chai</i>. Been craving for it! And oh, the <i>apam </i>is really interesting but pricey at RM5.50 per plate. Another time we went for Thai food (tom yum!) at<b> Absolute Thai.</b> That's why Malaysia be like a food haven, we have so many nice <i>makan </i>places! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Finally in this video, I feature <b>Cafe Kleptokrat</b>, known for its aesthetic poolside dining. I ordered Lontong Kering Pakcik Alam which I think is so-so but the fried glass noodles is so good! For drinks I have Lychee in My Eyes which is milk + espresso + lychee, a newly launched item on their menu and cempedak cheese cake. These I enjoyed very muchy! IDKY but the combo works.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="466" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RsPFLUtAa7I" width="561" youtube-src-id="RsPFLUtAa7I"></iframe></div><br /> <p></p>voguelyvivienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01315555528279810468noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5213459317424245648.post-74116748851470355332022-08-04T04:49:00.002-07:002022-08-04T04:49:00.157-07:00Malaysia 90s childhood snacks & cakes<p style="text-align: center;"> It started with some cravings for the old school buttercream cakes and then peanut cakes. Those were definitely incomparable to the desserts and cakes varieties we have today but somehow just bring back feelings of nostalgia.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I also find myself buying gula ketuk or ting ting candies when I see the uncle selling them at the night market. He doesn't come very often unfortunately and it's rare to find people selling them anymore. This time I got them from CHILDHOOD store in 1Utama but they do have several branches around Kuala Lumpur. Definitely check them out with your friends and older fams. I do think they will enjoy reliving the good ol' days. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Also featured on this vlog is a pop up store called Happy Dumpy selling local Malaysia inspired merchandise.</p><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="457" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QC4cbiO3d24" width="550" youtube-src-id="QC4cbiO3d24"></iframe></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>voguelyvivienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01315555528279810468noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5213459317424245648.post-69361496257958768172022-08-01T05:22:00.000-07:002022-08-01T05:22:35.747-07:00balik kampung (again!) vlog<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here's another balik kampung vlog~~</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sharing not just everything I ate but also the interesting places I went this time. Since durians are in season, of course we have to buy them! I brought the fam to Balik Pulau for that. While we were there we visited <b>Saanen Dairy Goat Farm</b>. The place is located at the smaller town in Balik Pulau and surrounded by rambutan & durian trees. I haven't been to a durian orchard in a long time and it's interesting to see how they have so many overhead nets to catch the falling durians. Some durians (IDK how!) are tied with a rope to prevent it from falling when they're ready.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="454" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ah8CEMEIVo0" width="545" youtube-src-id="Ah8CEMEIVo0"></iframe></div><br /><p></p>voguelyvivienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01315555528279810468noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5213459317424245648.post-19431884674504425092022-07-23T05:34:00.011-07:002022-07-23T05:36:51.024-07:00bleaching my roots and then dyeing my hair green<p style="text-align: center;"> </p><p style="text-align: center;">Back with yet another video! Hasn't it been awhile?</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Btw, the video was taken last year but it took me awhile to put them together and sit down to complete it. Mostly because, it was a much longer process with me going through the bleaching. I even have to let my hair/scalp take a break because in early 2021 I was bleaching or coloring my hair almost every other month! And then after I finally colored my hair, I have to deal with over 200 minutes worth of footages which I didn't think was fun to work on. But then they have been sitting in my draft and annoyed me so much I have to do something!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">So here it is, the final product! Do take your time to watch and LIKE/SUBS if you want to see more content like this 'kays. I really put in EXTRA effort for this one. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="466" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1LBZswol3yk" width="560" youtube-src-id="1LBZswol3yk"></iframe></div><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">And since I'm more of a writer than a speaker, here's a blog post of the process!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763;">touching up my roots</span></h2><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Opted for the same brand of DIY hair bleach, the <b><a href="http://www.voguelyvivien.com/2021/03/ezn-puddinghaircolor-truflemushroomblond.html" target="_blank">eZn Creamy Hair Bleach</a> </b>because I know the most it can lift is up to level orange for my hair. That way, I don't have to deal with too many different hair tons and then try to fix them which is a lot of work!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">This would probably be the first time I retouched my roots but OMG it's enough to leave my hair damaged! I guess the reason is I left the bleach on for a little longer than the 30-minutes recommended on the box. This is because the color took way-y-y longer to be lifted. I can't tell if it's my stubborn thick hair, or me mixing the bleach with the ampoule or the cooler weather (you kinda need the heat from your scalp/surroundings for the chemical reaction to happen).</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #0c343d;">My overly bleached and dyed hair care routine</span></b></h2><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"> Anyways, this time I did it differently and added <b>Artiztra Soothing Infusion </b>(get this on <b><a href="https://invle.co/clciw05" target="_blank">ShopeeMY</a></b>)<b> </b>with the bleach. I'm glad I actually bought the hair ampoules and they are original ones. I also got the <b>Artiztra Linseed Restructuring Hair Lotion</b>, which is the one the hair saloon I frequent (before MCO) uses. The difference is <b>the first one are used for "all phases of hair coloring" and requires to be washed off </b>while <b>the lotion is post-washing, leave-on lotion</b>. I bought them from Shopee and so they are NOT SPONSORED products.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">While they may seem pricey, the per ampoule price of RM15 is very affordable for <i>atas</i> saloon-level treatment. It surely leaves your hair so soft and healthier-looking. When I did it at the saloon, idk how the hair stylist does it, the effects and scent lasted for almost 2 weeks! I remember she adds other hair products together and probably the blow-drying helps too! I can't seem to replicate the effect but then I let my hair naturally air dry LOL. But I super love the lotion smell, if there's a scent just like it, I'll actually get it hahaha!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">The reason why I got this was because I know the whole bleaching and coloring damages my hair. This time after bleaching, I could tell that my hair have become really gummy! Like they're stretchy! I thought it'll take more extreme bleaching (like turning your hair platinum blonde) or mixing together the wrong chemicals to reduce your hair to gummy state but nope!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">So I'm very glad I got them and thankfully, after the lotion plus good <b>Marc Anthony shampoo</b> (Get this on ShopeeMY <a href=" https://invle.co/clciw5o" target="_blank"><b>here </b></a>or <b><a href="https://invle.co/clciw6g" target="_blank">here</a></b>) that I didn't have to shave my head! Super happy with that!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #0c343d;">toning my hair with blue shampoo</span></b></h2><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Still, to show some love for my hair, I let it rest a week before working on the coloring. I first attempted to tone my hair with Schwarzkopf Blue Shampoo. I've been trying to find the right way to apply this shampoo so that I can have an even and pretty result but nothing seems to be working. I tried applying it like a normal shampoo but it doesn't leather. I followed youtubers by mixing it with shampoo/conditioner then applying like how you'd dye your hair but it's cumbersome and doesn't work all the time. Somebody please teach me how to use this!! At this point, I wouldn't recommend getting this brand of color shampoo *roll eyes*</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I actually hope that it'll reduce the orangeness and turn my hair into muted brown or ash gray before I do blue. One time it works but not this time. The result is so inconsistent... but then it turned green at some spots and I try waiting for the color to fade, it didn't and so I decided to go for green. Don't want to waste another box of blue dye since I know orange + blue = green.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #073763;">coloring my hair green</span></b></h2><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">This time I'm using <b>Mise en Scene Hello Bubble in Mermaid Green </b>(Get this on <b><a href="https://invle.co/clciwhw" target="_blank">ShopeeMY</a></b>). Getting straight to the point, the result is exactly as shown on the box. Also, they've got one of the best foam formula, super loving it! It is so easy to apply and didn't take lotsa effort for super even application. One box is also sufficient for past chest-hair length and lotsa volume. I even have slight leftover which took a lot of pumps to apply on the rest of my head.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Would love if they come up with more shades of cooler Ash brown. Hello Bubble theme seems to be very colorful, Kpop-ish. I love the colors but probably wouldn't be able to do vibrant shades once we're back in office. And I'm obsessed with ash brown shades. EZN carries my favorite tons but I would stan foam formulas!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>voguelyvivienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01315555528279810468noreply@blogger.com0
