Green and Pure with Pureology

// November 20th, 2009 // 2 Comments » // Hair Love, Natural Stuff, New Stuff!

Dear Sisses,

Have you ever thought about going green; like recycling materials to save Mother Earth and become vegetarian for a change? What changes have you made to go green then?

I never thought that I’d contribute this soon in the simplest way possible, until a friend introduced me to this new hair care product that was just recently launched. Among the Bears (that’s how we address each other); she knew I am secretly obsessed with my hair since 2005. After her salon event, she handed me samples from Pureology.

Since I have sensitive skin (boring, I know!), I normally use baby shampoo and seldom condition my hair. This routine was formulated by my derma to avoid breakouts on my forehead, but made my colour-treated hair look deep fried and frizzy!
essential-repair-systemPureology, the #1 colour care brand in the USA is 100% vegan and has AntiFade Complex and ZeroSulfate formulations. After using the Essential Repair variant for a couple of days, I initially noticed that my hair was undeniably soft and no remarkable bumps on my forehead so far! A real promise for my sensitive skin since it has mild cleansing system, with no added salt, and derived from coconut, corn and sugar. I just hope in due time, since the product is a bit pricey, local distributor will also offer the Pureology Promise: Long Lasting Hair Color or Your Money Back.

The waste management system does not end there; Pureology uses recyclable materials for their containers and printed with soy ink. Really a sweet piece!

So don’t waste another time stressing out Sis, be an Earth Angel too!

Pureology is now available in all Azta Urban Salon branches: Eastwood City, Katipunan, Alabang Town Center and Robinson’s Metroeast and other leading salons in Metro Manila.

Instant Fix!

Dear Sisses,

Everyone must have heard right now that mineral makeups are all the rage. Beauty aficionados out there have been talking about these for a couple or so more years ago already.

Yours truly just tried this thing on some weeks ago. Just so you know; I have a very sensitive/problematic skin. I get breakouts from time to time due to my irregular period, too much stress and irregular sleeping habits. Visiting my dermatologist once/twice a month is a total hassle to me and to my pocket.

So, to cover the blemishes here and there, I’ve been using this cream-to-powder foundation from The Body Shop for some decent years already. The Flawless Skin Protecting Foundation 05 did a very good job, giving me a very natural looking finish. The weather have become unpredictable these days, and so with my skin! My T-zone gets too oily easily and I assure you, a total discomfort on me.

Lo and behold, I decided to try out this mineral powder foundation. Somehow perfect for my sensitive skin because it’s made from milled naturally occurring earth minerals. My friends recommended L’Oreal True Match, and since reviews are quite OK, I bought one for myself, the G5 (Golden Sand) shade for my La Pinay complexion.

L'Oreal True Match Minerals

So far, I am happy with the coverage and it’s so easy to apply. Simply dab up, down, left and right; run the brush in a circular motion and viola! Ready to go!

Mayonnaise. Thalia is said to have this beauty secret under her sleeve, and you can do it, too! Massage onto hair, and make sure to rinse with cold water, not warm ( I can only imagine how it’d turn out if warm water is to be used ! )
