In this post, I will review Sally Hansen nail polishes which I received from the press event. I only take time to take photos for products which I find worthy of a review because I want to share what I have with all of you! :) In the past way before the existence of beauty bloggers, I always spend money on makeup just to keep searching for the perfect foundation, the perfect mascara, the perfect eyebrow pencil etc. Because there is no one to advise me which product is good and which product suit my needs. So I hope via reading my blog, you will save on these monies and straightaway purchase products that will be long lasting and just what you need! :)
There is no point in reviewing every single product I am given if it is not good. It will waste my time blogging about it and your time in reading. Through time, dishonest reviews will affect my creditability and I will lose readership in no time.

Tell me, have I ever recommended bad products or sucky food places so far? ;)
So, I attended the Sally Hansen's event at Rendeveous Gallery and met Evonnz ;)
John dyed Evonnz's hair in this wonderful candy color ombre! It is such a pretty and outstanding shade IRL! Kudos to Evonnz for always being so adventurous with her hair colors!

This gel cuticle remover wowed me! Tried it hands on and took photo of the before and after.
I apologize for my horrible looking nails! It was a busy working week and I absolutely did not have the time to pamper myself! In fact, I headed straight to this event after a collection launch and turned up looking so haggard :(
Anyway, as you can see, my cuticles are pretty dried up and uneven. Definitely in need of a manicure!

See how my cuticles look so soft and moisturized now? Used the gel cuticle remover and with several wipes on each finger, the dead skin cells (areas which I circled in the above photo) are completely removed now!
This event was a hands-on session. There was a Sally Hansen expert to teach us the art of pampering our own nails and this was the final result! I took the entire session working hard on my own nails! It was worth the effort! Look at my pretty barbie pink nails! Used Sally Hansen's Diamond Flash topcoat and the end effect is HI-SHINE for an entire week!
Just like how you can mix lipsticks to get a different color, you can layer on different nail polishes together to get a unique color. I love the combination of these 2 colors below.
From left to right, Black Tie & Diamonds.
My favourite colors out of the lot, Something New (the color which I posted on Instagram!) & Heart to Heart (a foxy bright red, just what I like my red to be!).
A clear view of my 2 favourite colors in their true colors. Pretty isn't it? ;)
I have always been using the OPI, Poshe and Seche topcoat for the longest time and have not been adventurous in buying topcoats from other brands. However, I am adding Sally Hansen topcoat to my exclusive selection for topcoats. I like how this top coat gave my nails high shine for a week and how smooth the liquid is! Considering my job scope where I have to touch rough envelopes and stocks daily, I was pretty surprised my topcoat's shine lasted 7 days.
I am not a fan of purple colors but I love the first bottle on the left ;)
It has a really pretty name as well - Nude Shimmer.
It carries a pink nudish tone which is really suitable for weddings!

Used Something New for the coral pinkish tone and Nude Shimmer on my ring finger.
Saw Evonnz doing similar to her nails at the event so I tried splitting the colors on my ring finger using Something New & Black Tie :)
Hope this review gives you an answer because so many of you have emailed me in asking what nail polish I am using in my latest instagram photo! ;)
PS: Geez I know I promised a Maybelline giveaway post by end of June. But please give me some more time! Have been pretty busy of late! So many backlog posts and personal emails which I have not yet gotten down to! :( So sorry all and thank you so much!
Hope you'll have a great start to a new week! I am starting my Monday as an off-day (yipee!) and spending this precious day with John & Tintin. I treasure all my off days because to work hard, you have to learn to play hard too! :)
Do you have a formspring account? And may i know where did u get your feather earrings from? (the one in your display pic at the top right hand corner of your blog)
ReplyDeleteHi there, I do not have a FS acc. My feather earrings are from Accessorize! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Dear, was wondering how much you did for your hair? The color and contrast looks so pretty. Do you have to constantly do it? Does it fade? I like the color on your friend's hair too! What's the cost and the name for this type of coloring? Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Tricia! I was wondering what is a good temperature for a curling iron? let's say mine ranges from 130-230. I usually set it at 160. Do you think it is safe?
ReplyDeleteHi tricia, may i know where you purchase the dangling earring you wore with crochet nude maxi which you posted on instagram? what's the color of the earring? =) thank you!
ReplyDeletehello! saw the comments above and i have to say, i love your hair very much too!
ReplyDeletehow did you maintain the shine on your hair and keep it healthy despite tonging it daily and changing hair colors every few months?
pls share the products the u used!
and how many shampoo/conditioner did you used? do you mind sharing them as well?
thank you so so much.
p/s: pls consider doing a post about your hair! people who are interested(i guess many people out there!!) can read more about it :)
Hi dear, the color on both Evonn and my hair is called Ombre :)
ReplyDeleteFor my hair structure, the reds at the end fade away after 2-3 weeks. For Evonn, the color lasted pretty long on her. So it is depending on your hair :)
For my hair length, ombre costs around $140 after 30% discount.
Hello there! If your hair is not very dry, you can actually use 180 for your curling tong. For my Babyliss curling tong, the heat levels is up to 25. I turn it all the way up to 21 :)
ReplyDeleteHi love, the long earring is from Accessorize :) It is rainbow colored. It is the same earring I am wearing on my blog's profile photo.
ReplyDeleteHello there! Thank you for your compliment! :) But it is really thanks to John for maintaining my hair for me. I am pretty lazy haha.
ReplyDeleteThe products I use are mostly from Loreal Professional and I alternate between different shampoos every 2-3 days depending on my hair texture.
Shampoos: 1) Loreal Professional Absolute Repair (with lactic acid)
2) Loreal Professional Nature Series (Abondance De Cacao - Chocolate shampoo)
3) Marc Anthony Shampoo for Hair Thickening
4) Loreal Professional Sensi-Balance for sensitive scalp
Conditioner:
1) Loreal Professional Absolute Repair Conditioner (with lactic acid)
2) Loreal Professional Lumino Contrast (Nutriceride) for colored hair
Hello there :) What makes you wanna be a beauty blogger?
ReplyDeleteHi Tricia,
ReplyDeleteWhat's the official color name/code for Sally hasen Barbie pink nail lacquer you try at the blogger event?
Thanks in adv.
Hey babee, where can I purchase the blue jumpsuit you posted on instagram? Saw that it's not available online :( and where did you get the red earring that u pair with it? thanks babe.
ReplyDeleteHi Tricia!
ReplyDeleteMay I know what products do you use on your hair before and after curling it with the tong, such as volumiser or sprays or cream?
And how do you tie your hair up in a high bun and have it look so thick when your hair is very fine? I've tried many times but failed :/
Thank you so much for your help! :)
Hello Tricia! Pls help me in making decisions as your vainpot boutique do cater heels/wedges. How do you advice customers who are for eg: size 37 but find this particularly size 37 wedges too fitting. Felt a tinge of tightness at the front and the insole length ends exactly at the back of the foot. Tried size 38 with about a finger's space at the end of foot. So tough to decide! :(
ReplyDeletehello tricia!which color do you personally prefer for the tie back jumpsuit? burgundy or blue (as shown on instagram)
ReplyDeletewhich color will u recommend for fair skin? :)
will the items be available in kissjane? thanks!
Hi there, I never thought of becoming a beauty blogger and I don't consider myself to be one! :)
ReplyDeleteHi dear! It is called Fuchsia Bling Bling.
ReplyDeleteHello there, you can only purchase the Persian Blue jumpsuit if you turn up for the Maybelline x Zouk event on 8 Aug. We are showcasing this jumpsuit for the runway show and it will be available for sale only at this event :)
ReplyDeleteHello there! I do not use anything on my hair before I curl it. After curling, I will use only hairspray and either beach spray or matt powder on my roots :)
ReplyDeleteThe trick to tying a high bun despite having fine hair is to backcomb and tease the hair before tying it up into a bun! :) When the hair is frizzy and dried up, it is very easy to style up.
Hi dear! For purchasing of shoes, I will always recommend getting a bigger size than a smaller one. This is because if you get a slightly bigger sized one, you can rectify the issue of "slightly loose" etc with silicon back bumpers which you stick at the back of the ankle (in the shoe). Alternatively, you can purchase insoles from Watsons and it will be able to solve the issue you mentioned! :)
ReplyDeleteIf 37 is very slightly fitting, what you can do is freeze a bag of water in the shoe. Place a bag full of water into the shoe and fill up the corners, then place the entire shoe into the fridge. When water freezes, it will cause expansion in the shoe. It should be able free up 0.3-0.5cm of space! ;)
Hope the above answers your enquiry!
Hello there! I really like both colors and I kept both of them! However, if I have to choose, burgundy red will be my choice as it is a classier color of the two.
ReplyDeleteThe red piece has already been stocked in at Kissjane :)
