HELPFUL FACTS FOR ALL OF US
(source: karmin.ca/)

• What is Titanium? Titanium is a lustrous metallic element found in igneous rocks and known for its strength, durability, light weight and high temperature stability.

• Why a Titanium Hair Straightener?Titanium offers many features and benefits in a hair styling tool. Titanium provides amazing durability under high heats and offers an even heat distribution. Scratch resistant and extremely durable, Titanium is a great benefit for a hair iron that will last you many years. When combined with ceramic, negative ions and tourmaline, Titanium works to enhance your hair's hydration and shine. Eliminate frizz, enhance shine, and improve the overall look of your hair. Your hair is left hydrated, soft and healthier. A top choice for professionals because of the amazing results on all hair types, lengths and styles.

• Isn't Ceramic Enough?NO! Traditional ceramic irons rely on heat alone which risks damage to the hair. Karmin relies on ionic and infrared juices, which provides a better, healthier method. More fabulous results - now without the risk of damage! Karmin high performance irons provide shinier, silkier, smoother and healthier hair than other ceramic irons. 

•  So Why are Negative Ions Important When Using a Hair Iron?Negative ions close the cuticle layer to create a smooth, silky hair surface and seal in the hair's natural moisture. This provides ultimate shine, color and moisture protection for hair. Negative ions also eliminate static electricity on the hair surface so hair is left silky and frizz-free! 

•  Why is Infrared Important When Using Flat Irons?Far infrared heat penetrates the hair to heat it gently from within. This creates a different type of heat that doesn't heat the hair. Instead, more heat is delivered directly to the hair shaft so hair is suppler and can be worked more quickly and easily. Because less heat is delivered to the surface, hair is not damaged.

MY TAKE: Negative Ions? Heard so much about Negative Ions and its benefits towards our body such as strengthening the functions of our autonomic nerves, reinforce collagen, improves the permeability of cell's prototype plasma membrane (in short, improves metabolism) and strengthens our immune system. I didn't know it can also be benefited towards our hair for a healthier crown of glory! How awesome :)

PACKAGING: It came in a white box with the pink hair straightener inside, 3 year manufacturer's warranty, instruction manual, product registration and holgram security seal.

PRICE: $129.95 + FREE SHIPPING! The price is great for the quality of the product. I had it for 2 weeks now and have been using it for straightening and curling my hair and it works great!

QUALITY: Like I said, been using it for 2 weeks now and it works great, it doesn't pull my hair like the other straighteners out there that makes your hair get stuck to the side of the plate and it pulls! Also my hair doesn't smell like burnt when I use it. Hair looks so shiny and healthy afterwards.

Here is my hair before I ironed it. As you can see, my hair is straight but not pinned straight and looks frizzy.

Time to Iron it!!!

 One side done..

 Both sides done..

Now my hair looks a lot better!!!

OHYESS!! Hahah :)

Looking at these pictures makes me miss my long hair.. I recently got a haircut. :( We always regret it @ the end.)

Anyway, I can sport it both ways but it's not that long anymore. I miss my VERY LONG HAIR!! *CRIES*

Here using Karmin Professional Titanum Hair Straightener:

Pretty good in curling hair :)

I miss my old hair but time to move on....

Hope you all like this review!

Betsey Johnson and some update :)

Hello again guys! eeheehee!! I can't believe I haven't been blog-hopping -.- lazy lazy me! I will try to do that this weekend. (hopefully) anyway, I'm still on a no make up/skincare buy but then we are allowed to repurchase stuff, but I haven't had the time to repurchase some of the things I needed like Korres body butter - my favorite lotion ever :)

I went to Betsey Johnson store today with Adrian. It's becoming one of my "to go store" just to see what they have (even though I rarely buy from that store) because there's so much PINK STUFF in that store. Just so pleasant to my eyes - and the sales person there are just too friendly! :]

I went there because I bought a black dress - you won't see it until the end of the month :) I'll be using that on my cousin-in-law's debut party. I'm so excited :)

I got an earrings too.. Just too beautiful! I love this pearl earrings, I wanted to go back, and just shop for more accessories. :)

Here's me wearing it :D Huge pearl earring :P

I'm definitely going back for more :P and maybe i'll buy my POW WOW dress there too :P

Adrian and I went to Walmart. I bought some hair stuff. My hair gets damage whenever I color it -.- But I'm going to try to repair it by using a colored treated shampoo/conditioner :) Also bought a heat protectant :)

Here's a swatch of my favorite lipstick of the month - M.A.C. lipstick in Strayin :] Such a pretty pink color. Love it! :D

A pic of me at our front yard :P

Oh yeah, I painted my nails yesterday with O.P.I lucky lucky lavender. Also drew a PANDA on my pinkie using a toothpick :P You guys know i love Pandas! :D

Should I keep my hair color? or Color it back to dark brown? *sigh*

UPDATE ON OUR NEW PLACE

We are starting to put together this place by buying things one by one. If you follow me on twitter, you'll know that I just bought that black sofa you see in this picture :] I like everything simple. Its nice finished yet because we still have to buy a rug and a coffee table, so I will update you guys on that soon :]

Here is the bathroom and the living room. I bought this Anthorium plant to help out with the Breast Cancer foundation. 10% of their sales go to that foundation. I am more happy to help! :]

Then our living room with the black sofa that we bought. A coffee table is missing :P

Another plant that I got. I am not a plant person but I thought it looks so nice in the living room. Below shows the grill that my parents bought us :] Its very compact, perfect for our little balcony :] Then our little dining table. Only sits 4 people. Haha! :P

The outside of our place. So green! :] The weather is so gloomy today..

Hope you guys are having a great week! Will update again soon.. I think I'm calling off tomorrow to be with my family :] Btw, I almost broke my "no make up haul" OMG so many things at the CCO Ontario :[ I get so sad! Ahahaha!

Family Time + New Hair Cut

Note: Please do not take my pictures or use it without my permission.

Hi ladies [and gents..]!!! Its been a while since I last updated. I missed you all! I have been working 16 hours for 3 days straight and all I want during those days was to sleep! :P

Anyway, Wed-Thurs is my day off and so is Adrian so we went to take my Parents + Siblings to Orange County to eat at our favorite Korean BBQ Restaurant "Neul Bom" :) They loved it!

Yup, me and my family loves to eat!

After we ate, we went to Skylark because my mom and my sister wants to buy some nail polish. I can't stop myself from not buying anything.. After all, I have not bought any make up or clothing for like 2 weeks now [i think? feels like it! lol].

I want to do some french tips so I bought some Orly nail polishes. I heard its really good brand. I also love this O.P.I. Nail polish color. :) I really love the top coat too! It makes my nails shiny!

After Skylark, we decided to drive to Tokyo and China Town. Just to look and walk around..

Of course Adrian and I have to have picture together! lol!

"My Buddha!"

I bought some things at the Tokyo Town Outlet. I really love Red Cherry Lashes so I bought 3 to add to my lil collection. Then I saw the HK Stamp and I know i had to get it! I will be stamping those love mails I will send to my lovelies :)

After that, we went back to San Bernardino and watched "UP" at Ontario Mills. My mom wants to watch Transformers 2 so we went to watch it AGAIN! ahaha! Omg the "UP" Movie is really good! I cried.. I really love the story. I love the beginning when the clouds were trying to build some things.. and the bird! lol! Its too funny! :)

Then today [July 09], I got a hair cut. A trim.. I hate split ends.. well who doesn't right? lol so my hair dresser cut like 3 inches off my hair. :)

BEFORE!

AFTER!

I really like how she made it thinner at the ends, it made my hair healthier. I need to invest more styling hair products. She used Morrocan Oil on my hair & it made my hair smoother!

I miss hauling make up especially MAC. Haha. I need to organize my make up because my vanity area is so messy. I need more drawers, but I just couldn't let go of my Pink drawers. :(

Hope you guys have a great weekend! Friday for you guys! Its my "Monday" today [July 10] Sucks!

I will try to update more. I might work 16 hours again today. I have not read the new entries of my blogger babes yet. :( I am so behind..
