My good friend from Japan got me this. This powder creates wonders to my face! Ah, I have this for quite some time now and I still have a few left. I just miss her so much I can’t bring myself to consume all of it and throw it away~ 

My friend Nitz and I passed by a thrift store a while ago and since we had nothing to do, we entered  the shop and went nuts. Some pieces go as low as 20pesos!! It’s not so tacky-looking, I think I saw some famous brands like Laguna Moon and Topshop, even. One can never be too safe so I’ll have it dry cleaned first before wearing them. So here’s what I bought:

This Denim jacket for 40php.. I felt bad a little because I bought a denim jacket from Forever 21 which cost me 1500php!! Note to self: check out Ukay-Ukay stores first before going to the mall. Lol 

The moment I saw this floral blazer I just knew I just have to buy it! Got it for 40php too! What a steal! ♥

The rainy season is coming! I’m getting ready for it with this cute sweater which I got for 20php!! 

I’m definitely going back to buy some more. All these for just 110 Pesos!! Plus, it’s fun to look around especially when you’re with a friend! Ah, I love Ukay-Ukay. 

Gorgeous shoes without sacrificing comfort.

Now that classes are drawing to a near, I’ve decided to do something different to my hair again! I’ve been itching to try out ombre hair for months, and finally I achieved it! All thanks to Tony Moly’s Berry Trendy Hair Bleach!! I got it for just 148php~ 

It claims to bleach and brighten hair, contains Berry Complex to minimize damage to hair, super easy to use, and it keeps hair soft and shiny! I don’t know about the damaging part though, I guess I’ll just have to wait. My hair is already dry so I’m not gonna be surprised at all if it did some damage to my locks. Still, nothing a hair treatment couldn’t fix! 

There’s two packets inside that contains the creamy solution and the bleaching powder. The instructions in the box is in Hangeul but there’s English instructions at the back part of these packets.          

The results will depend on how long you put the solution on. I guess I did mine for about 40mins. 

*Note: My hair was originally colored with Etude House Bubble Hair Coloring in #3 Natural Brown.

This is what the powder + the creamy solution will look like. It does not smell good but it isn’t that bad either.

I got my friend to help me with the application process and this is how it turned out:

With flash:

I just absolutely love it!! I was a bit iffy at first because I want to refrain from further damage to my hair but I figured I could always cut off the ends, just in case. But I love my ombre hair right now I’m sure gonna do this again some time.

Verdict: This bleach is perfect for those who want to try out ombre hair or fancy highlights! Super affordable and worth every penny!
