Review : Kao Liese Moisturizing Hair Cocktail (Light)

After doing my own hair coloring using Kao Liese Bubble Hair Color, I am a new fan of Liese products. So I did my own research and there are a lot of good reviews on its hair care range as well - in particular the Liese Moisturizing Hair Cocktail. Yes, their products has funky names and comes in cute packaging too. :) Liese Hair Cocktail is a bi-layered hair serum with nourishing water and anti-frizz oil which is filled with peach leaf extract and prune essence. The product comes in light (for less damaged and dry hair) and normal (for more damaged and dry hair).

I bought the light one which is green in color. The normal one is orange in color. As you can see, the top layer is the anti-frizz oil, whereas the lower layer is the nourishing water (i.e. the serum).

What you need to do is before using is to shake the bottle (hence the name cocktail :p) to mix it well and it will look like your honeydew pearl milk tea :).

Squeeze a little onto your palm - about 1.5cm and rub your hands together. Run your fingers through your hair with the serum. You may use it when your hair is damp or dry. If need be, you may apply more. Note: Use the serum sparingly as you don't want your hair looking very limp.

What I love about the hair serum is that:

1) The effect is immediate - your hair is so soft to touch!

2) I love the fresh smell of peaches on my hair.

3) Easy to use

4) Tames the split ends

5) Nourishes and moisturize the hair

6) I have a good hair day - everyday!!

7) Pricing is reasonable at RM28/= in Guardian

Am so loving Liese hair products!!

Review : Kao Liese Bubble Hair Color - Mocha Orange

I've been dying wanting to try the Kao Liese (pronounced as Li-Say) products since watching their advertisement in the cinema. I finally got my hands on their BUBBLE HAIR COLOR i.e. you just apply foam on your hair and massage - like shampooing. The foam will reach all your hair easily and as a result the coloring will be even. As easy as ABC. Fantastico!

Actually I bought it at Sasa impulsively when my colleague was buying her mascara.

Anyway, my colleague convinced me to choose Mocha Orange. Yes, you heard right. Orange. After buying, I was a little bit skeptical because I don't want to end up looking like an ah lian. But then I was thinking .. heck it la.. if really look like one then I will buy another bottle and re-dye again. :p

You don't have to worry about getting too confuse on the steps because the instructions are written all over the box and in a leaflet which is provided for. Remember, before dying you are to do an allergy test on the back of your arm 48 hours before using it on your hair. Of course, I didn't bother doing the allergy test. Hehe~

In the box, you will have the following items:

1) Solution 1 (the small brown bottle)

2) Solution 2 (the big transparent bottle)

3) Foamer Cap

4) Gloves

5) Nourishing Hair Lotion

6) Instruction Leaflet

If you are too lazy to read the lengthy instruction leaflet, you can opt to follow this easy pictorial step-by-step guide by yours truly me. :)

Step 1:

Here are your Solution 1 (right) and Solution 2 (left)

Step 2:

Pour Solution 1 into Solution 2.

Step 3:

Mix them both together by turning the bottle up and down gently (around 5 times). DO NOT SHAKE THE BOTTLE VIGOROUSLY TO AVOID PRODUCING FOAM INSIDE THE BOTTLE.

Step 4:

Replace the white cap with the pink foamer cap.

Step 5:

Wear your gloves and squeeze the bottle gently to get a sizeable foam unto your palm. This is to test that the foam is not too runny else it may get into your eyes. If it is runny, then you can turn the bottle up and down again gently a couple more times.

Step 6:

Apple the foam on your hair - just like how you shampoo your hair. To ensure that there are no tangles, run through your fingers in your hair.

Step 7:

Leave on for about 30 minutes and wash off. Voila~ and you are done coloring your own hair!! After that, apply the nourishing cream to moisture your hair - you may apply it on damp or dry hair. The smell is AWESOME!

And there's it. All I can say is that IT WORKS!!! I am fascinated! Why would I strongly recommend this product to others:

1) It is easy to use

2) It doesn't drip and stain everywhere

3) It is cheap - Kao Liese Bubble Hair Color is priced at RM38/=

4) The ammonia smell is not strong

5) The nourishing cream smells heavenly

6) It has 10 awesome range of colors!!!

What was the outcome? No I didn't turned lala ... but because naturally I have jet-black hair the color is not as light as I hoped it would be. Not to worry, I intend to try other lighter colors again. :)

I SUPPORT KAO LIESE HAIR PRODUCTS!!!

One more review coming up~!

Pain Ball

Last Saturday, I went for a pain paintball competition with my company. Don't asked me why I signed up most probably to gain brownie points from my boss. The minute I saw the itinerary I regretted - we had to be there at 7:30am ON A SATURDAY MORNING! A NON-WORKING DAY! -.-"

Anyway, we lost all 4 sets (heh!~) except for one which we won by default cos the opponent took off his mask in the middle of the game. :p All in all, I am ok with the whole pain paintball thingy. Was it painful? Nah .. not really. It is like when you knock yourself against a door and you have a blue-black kinda pain. Very very bearable. And the paint is washable ya, so fret not. :)

Gotta say the bruises were kinda cool though - people thought that Bear abused me. :p Best part is that some of the bruises only starts showing the day after.

Battle Scar #1: Before

As you can see, there is one on the knee and one on my thighs. Not very visible actually, I only found out about these two in the night.

Battle Scar #1: After

Noticed that the blue-black has "spread"?

Battle Scar #2: Before

This was on the back back of my arms. It was red and swollen. The circle is the area where the bullet hit - they are NOT ringworms ya!!!

Battle Scar #2: After

One day after that and voila~ it is REALLY REALLY bad and swollen. I think my entire capillaries on my left arm broke into pieces. :(

Battle Scar #3: Before

At the battlefield, this bruise was the most "seong" wan. The area where the bullet hit directly was raw and painful. I thought after a day, this bruise will be massive.

Battle Scar #3: After

Surprisingly, it is not. But when I touch it, I can still feel the "burning" sensation though. Bearable and not searing pain.

Battle Scar #4: Before and After Combo

Need to do a brief introduction on this one, I totally didn't realize that I had a bruise on my left hamstring until after day 1 in the night! This was really kau-kau wan .. because after day 2 when my other battle scars are subsiding, this one is still very prominent and is a large patch. Looks like I wont be wearing skirt to work for a very very long time.

Massive!

Will I play again? Definitely!

Just not in a competitive kinda environment la.

Snippets : Half Year into 2011

Exercising:
I have been consistantly going for my Jazzercise class save for the whole of last month. My stamina has yet to improve as I will be panting for air halfway through class. The cycle will go something like this :

7:30pm - Still feeling semangat. Kinda.
7:45pm - Start to regret going for class
7:55pm - Hallucinate that I will faint anytime
8:00pm - Keep staring at the damn clock willing it to move faster
8:15pm - Start to enjoy the toning up session
8:20pm - Start to regret being so gungho carrying a 2x5kg dumbell
8:25pm - Feels good to streetccchhhh
8:30pm - Can't wait to get back to class again.

Losing Weight:
I have been trying to avoid eating carbs during dinner to try to shed off some kilos. Some of my colleagues suggested that I go without dinner all-together. Personally, I think that they are mad. Gotta say I did alright for two days only and then most of the time occasionally I caved into half a bowl of rice. Aiihh.. kecewa betul ...

Despite my combined efforts of exercising and (kind of) watching my diet, I've only lost a measly 1kg. :( Losing weight is harder than I thought. Anyone can recommend me good packages to slimming centres?

Work:
God has been faithful all along the way :) Difficult people He removed. Difficult situation He gave me the wisdom to overcome. There were changes in terms of movement of staff but He has been good to me - he has placed amazing people whom I can work with and can mentor me. I seriously have nothing to complain about. Thank God for his favor and blessing upon me. :)

Marriage:
Being a Mrs has been an enjoyable journey (so far). Hubby has been treating me good and he has an uncanny liking to household chores (yeah to me!). I have gotten used to not staying with my parents and having to stay by myself sometimes in the night. I have also learn to compromise and not be petty when the hubby needs to spend time with his male-buddies (i.e. sports).

Entertainment:
Totally irrelevant but I am into Dog Whisperer now. Ceaser Milan you da man!

Pregnancy:
Don't get too excited just yet. I am not pregnant. And I don't understand why people around me has been asking me if I am pregnant or not. Hellooo.. gaining weight does not equal to pregnancy hor.

Some said my hips are big = pregnant.
NOT TRUE! I have fat huge ass assets.
Both front AND back *ahem*
And proud of it! :D ask my hubby .. he is not complaning

Despite that, sometimes I do have the instinct to want to have my own kid soon (labour pain put aside first). But other times, I don't want to so fast as I still want to enjoy and hang out with my friends in clubs and pubs. Oh well, let's see how it goes.

Annoying People:
Yes, I have encountered a few annoying ones here and there - some are close to me some are mere acquitances. But anoying nontheless. I wonder how can some people think so highly of themselves - in the expense of putting others down?

Sorry but actual people who are actually good at what they are doing usually don't brag. Stupid people does - like those tin kosong. When you bang an empty tong, it creates noise. Yup, noise and annoyance. Nothing else.

Travelling:
Can't wait to head to New Zealand in August with my family!!!!!! I refuse to think about the 13 hours gruelling flight

Also another one to a SECRET PLACE for my birthday-cum-first year anniversary in September. Will be hijacking the husband to a deserted island with no telephone reception. muahahaahhaaha~ All I can reveal is that the place is a 5-star resort on a paradise island. *can't wait!!*

Alright, guess that's my half yearly update for now.
Chiow~
