Frizz Free Hair is Sexy

// June 29th, 2007 // 1 Comment » // Hair Love

frizzy hairSleek, straight hair , or even well-managed locks reflect a well-maintained and clean look. Posh.Classy.Sexy. Frizzy hair is the exact opposite of such image that we all want to project, as it makes the overall look of one person more stressed. Frazzled. Tired. Messy. It makes you look like you just finished a very physical catfight with another woman! Hahaha!

Here are some tips to get rid of frizzy hair :

1. The most basic of all is that, rinse off your hair using cold water. Cold water “locks” the hair follicles, that prevents it from getting frizzy. (more…)

Product Review : Head and Shoulders Intensive Solutions

// June 28th, 2007 // 3 Comments » // Hair Love

head and shoulders intensive solutions Dandruff is just one of the bad, recurring stuff that we have to deal with, eh? It’s simply one of those stuff that ruin your day, just like having pimples! Grrr!

But since the haircare industry is getting all competitive ( gosh, it seems to be , really ! ), dandruff will be a problem of the past in a few years’ time. They just keep on getting better and better!

Head and Shoulders Intensive Solutions is one of the products that I’ve been referring to. Honestly, the predecessor of this – just the Head and Shoulders shampoo, did not fare well on my scalp. But this is another story. (more…)

Dermatologists vs. D-I-Y

// June 27th, 2007 // 2 Comments » // Kikay Thoughts, Skin Love

dermatology acne Bump, bump, bump. That is how my skin felt prior to visiting my dermatologist that I haven’t seen for a long time already. Blame it on my busy lifestyle, I couldn’t even drop by her office to give my skin some good ol lovin’.

Being always on the go prevents me from taking time to see a dermatologist for cleaning and checkup. I’ve always resorted to d-i-y ( do it yourself ) products, seeking the cream of the crop skin care to address my needs. Yes, I’ve felt my skin squeaky clean, and non-problematic as I am satisfied with the brand of skin care that I am currently using right now, but I could not deny that there were still problems in my skin that weren’t curable by products themselves. Even the best skin care could not get rid of comedones ( or in simple terms, whiteheads ) and deep seated dirt – thus, I needed a dermatologist.

After 6 months of not going to the dermatologist for a monthly cleaning/facial ( yikes, I am embarrassed to admit ), I finally got a “lecture” from my dermatologist that even if I use the best products out there, only dermatologists can perform extractions because if we do them ourselves, they would result to scarring. I had my facial, and diamond peel done, and as I left her clinic, my skin felt way cleaner than before – bump free, comedone free. Lately, I feel that my skin care products are doing great on my skin with the combination of the cleaning that I have done with the dermatologist.

MAC C-Shock Collection

// June 26th, 2007 // No Comments » // Makeup

mac c shock collectionAudacious.bold.a higher level. This is what MAC’s latest C-Shock Collection is all about. This collection is surely not for the faint hearted, because it is what it claims it is – shocking! ( pun intended! )

Take a look at the colors – bright shades of yellow, blue, and green. Gasp. Blue lipstick? My kikay self is willing to venture into the bright eye colors, for they may look really good when worn, but blue lipstick, well, I’m afraid my heart is still not up for it. Just a thought, what if someone popular really manages to pull of this blue shade of lipstick and blue becomes an acceptable lip color in a few years’ time? (more…)

Introducing, Your Resident Kikay

// June 22nd, 2007 // 1 Comment » // Kikay Thoughts

Hi, everyone! Welcome to Kikay Kits! I am absolutely thrilled to be your resident kikay, and before we start this kikay journey, I thought I’d share some things about me.

Well, they say that people have priorities.

Hahaha!
