Hair is actually very important to everyone..... well at least to me it is very very very important because a change of hairstyle can change someone look and style very differently!!

I'm very honored to be given a sponsored makeover for my hair last week with...

THE COMB

I'm full of excitement and waiting for my appointment date to come! I always have the habit to just stick to my regular stylist as I'm so damned afraid it will all gone wrong. All thanks to their very updated instagram account that made me more confident to leave my hair makeover to their hands.

Let's see how my hair transformed!!

My hair before makeover......

hmmmm... it had been awhile since I gone back for trimming and touching up. Please don't judge..=( Friends always jealous of my thick hair, but I just don't like it because I felt like a poodle! T_____T

And it all get started!! 

First up.... HAIR COLOURING!!!

Its a bloody red tone which the stylist recommended to suit my hair conditions then. Need to colour my new black hair grown lah... and in order not to see obvious difference of my coloured and non coloured hair lah... blah blah blah... And I just leave it to the stylist. =P

In progress.... and it took about 2 hrs for colouring.....

... not to worry if you are bored! With their wonderful service, get indulged sipping cuppa TWG tea with a latest magazine to past your time!

Very quickly, the stylist designed a new hair style with his coolest scissor skills that got me excited I forgot to take pictures... Haha.. =P So let the pictures do the talking!! LOL...

Deep thoughts...

Hello everyone!!

How you guys doing? Just a quick updates today with my thoughts after watching a Korean Transformation Variety show.

"Let Me In" is actually a very popular Korean variety whereby they will sponsor the applicants to go under the knife for a transformation. There are different theme or maybe I would say different problem factor in each episode. So there was this one fine day, I was watching it not too long ago.

"LET ME IN" Season 4 episode 9:

WATCH THE EPISODE HERE!!!

Sorry, its not subbed. if you have channel M, there will be Eng sub in there.

It was an episode of lady hiding her real identity behind her superb Photoshop skills. While watching the episode, I started to reflect on myself and realized how am I living my life before my huge weight loss makeover.

I myself used to be living virtually too, the only difference is, I still have friends and family around me to support me. BUT... honestly, it's the confidence level I'm referring to. All my pictures over my insta, FB or even my blog..  yea..  this blog were heavily Photoshop-ed THEN!! And through the show, I understood that there were things I've over done it.

Her story totally resemble my life before my weight loss and of course, I shed my tears while watching it. TT__TT 

So here is a summary:

These were all her "AFTER" pictures where she has been living virtually... And she had more than 5k friends online!! *I don't even have that much friends online even if I Photoshop-ed TT___TT

BUT.... in real life, she is actually always alone and do not have much friends in school because...

This is how she looked like in reality... Very low in confidence because of her look and size. Honestly speaking, she doesn't look that bad. Probably just her size where most people or I would say guys will judge?

Her "BEFORE" and "AFTER" pictures that made her to have 2 identities, OFFLINE and ONLINE. A total change of person.

Frankly, I was like her too....

I finally realized and happy I've decided to make a change to myself about a year ago. I'm also glad my angels helped and motivated me a lot during this period to bring my weight and fats down till who I am now. P.S: I'm still losing my weight, just in case you are wondering....

I SWEAR THIS PICTURE IS ONLY FILTERED!!! 

Totally changed and of course more confident to be in front of everyone real life or virtually. I will be sharing my entire weight loss journey in this blog... SO STAY TUNED!! Meanwhile, here's a recapped on the day I've started this weight lost journey FOR REAL here:

My weight lost challenge

It has been about 6 weeks now since my determination to start slimming down.  I set a date to start this programme of my own right after Chinese New Year! It's pretty obvious why after CNY ~ but other few reasons are:

** I'm sick of having a float around me for 24/7 ...

** I wanna fit in any pretty clothes I like!!

** I don't want other commuters to give up priority seats, thinking I'm preggy..  →_→

** I don't want to be labeled as "the fat girl over there"

** I don't wanna be judged or cursed at for taking up too much space and people just go " TSK!!!! Eat so fat and block people's space!!"


Of course there are a lot more nastier comments from others during these extra meat period.. but my actual reason to slim down would be:

I WANNA BE HEALTHY AND FIT!!!

which also will link to lesser back pains and knee pains!!!! 

I hope that having my personal weight lost challenge going online will gain more motivation for myself and also a channel  to look back if I ever reach the goal I set! NO!!!! I WILL DEFINITELY REACH MY TARGET!!!

That explained my post today and if you think it's too "oily" for you, please scroll down to my next post!!

=￣ω￣=


So of course the best way to determine one changes will be PICTURE UPDATES!!!  And if you followed me on my Instagram:  

akemi0sihui

You would see my weekly updates every Tuesday!! Not forgetting motivation boost from friends who commented on my picture updates! Thank you so much to those whom commented because it really meant a lot to me! SO DO FOLLOW ME FOR MY WEEKLY UPDATES!!!

For now.... I'm gonna reveal my weight, that's killing me, for THE VERY FIRST TIME *I took a lot of courage to do it*!!  And my pictures for the past few weeks~ Not much distinctive changes at this stage though.

WEEK 1

FML!!!!!!!!!!  TT______TT
Pictures are just too honest!! Please lie to me I'm not that fat~

Never thought I'm gonna blog about it at my first week so this is the most recent photo that time and I weighed......................... 93KG!!!

o(╯□╰)o

The end result for not dancing and exercising for about 2 months due to my back treatment I'm going through..

WEEK 2

I've signed up a package with Fitness First (will blog about it separately) and started going to gym and classes regularly and almost daily once my chiropractor gave me the green light! And I weighed......................... 90KG!!! It's freaking 3 kg lesser!!

Of course I'm mad happy about it... for this achievement in such a short time line..

WEEK 3

Slim down process stops a little cause of diet issues... LOL!! I confess I still snack at this period and this means my effort goes down the drain. I know it!! And I weighed......................... 89.5KG!!! It's 0.5 kg lesser!!

WEEK 4

OK. It shoots up lah... damned!! And I weighed......................... 89.9KG!!! It's 0.4 kg EXTRA!!

WEEK 5

TT________TT
My back condition got worsen and I slowed down on my gym visits / routines and I weighed......................... 90KG!!! It's 0.1 kg EXTRA!!

WEEK 6

Back to no soft drinks, no snacks days and extra workout routines, I weighed......................... 89.5KG!!! It's 0.5 kg lesser!!



That's my progress for the 6 weeks. Please note, I did not take any supplements, or slimming pills in this process. All weight lost were purely through EXERCISING and selective eating!! Hopefully, I will persevere and get the numbers lesser as time goes by!!!

Anyone who has good tips for slimming~ PLEASE SHARE WITH ME BELOW!!! I would love to try it out~

STAY TUNE FOR MY PERSONAL WEIGHT LOST CHALLENGE!!!!

[SPONSORED POST] Nails of the week

Hi lovelies~ It's my first sponsored nail week!! So happy, I do not have to DO IT MYSELF for this week!
                                            
Because I'm invited to a classic manicure and pedicure treatment by ...................

Asolutely nails is a sister brand of Feet Haven Reflexology, and is located at 136 East Coast Road.

I was welcomed by their friendly manicurist to a ARMCHAIR and it's really comfy.. smooth, jazzy music were also on repeats while I indulged myself in their services.

My Manicurist (Shit I forgot her name  =￣ω￣= ) , started off with a pedicure while I began choosing my desired colours from their wide range of colours!!

FYI, they carries Butter London and Ciaté... nail polishes too!  

Make a guess what colours will I choose?

I've been to other places for classic pedi. But Absolutely Nails is definitely the first who will go extra mile on exfoliating for my feet! *comfy to the max*

And also a oil massage!

Before it began......

And....

TADA!!!  Swee boh?

Very quickly she did my nails!

She's very nice,  because she will advise me on ways to protect my nails!  Just so thoughtful, as compared to other Manicurist I went before, they normally just hurriedly do their part and it ends. To me, manicures and pedicures should be pampering, and Absolutely Nails do have this important point.

Firstly, I was late for my appointment due to a heavy traffic,  they still waited for me despite I'm their last customer.  And what's more?  They definitely still made me feel pampered with their services! It's late, and I do felt bad about it, yet they did not hurriedly finish the job ~ The colours are also very pretty!!  I really love it..  

You girls should try too!!  Make an appointment with them now!

[Sponsored Post] Beauty Destination by L'Oreal Paris Singapore - Katniss Everdeen inspired look.

Hey lovelies! How are you guys doing?

I am still struggling with my new job, trying to adapt as soon as possible. So yeah, that's my excuse for not updating. BUT ANYWAY..... that's not the point for today's post. My point is, I'm back again for my 3rd L'Oreal Paris Singapore, topic of the month!

This month's topic is to re-create Katniss Everdeen look from The Hunger Games, Catching Fire. Right at the perfect timing, you can consider creating this look for the coming Halloween! Trust me, its actually quite easy to create! Especially with the 1st MARKER PEN LINER, SUPERLINER BLACKBUSTER!!

CREDIT: http://catchingfiremovie.org/

Lots of good stuff to be shared today and nuff said, here is my step by step to create my version of Katniss Everdeen look~  ^___^v

1] Using L'Oreal Paris Color Infaillible - 002 Hourglass Beige
Apply all over your eyelids right under your brows.

2] Using L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Quad eyeshadow - S4 Tropical Tutu / Col 3 (green)
Layer over and blend with the beige, covering half of your lids.

3] Using L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Quad eyeshadow - E1 Beige Trench / Col 1 (grey)
Blend the grey gradually from your lash line upwards.

4] Using L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Quad eyeshadow - E5 Velours Noir / Col 1 (darkest grey / black)
Blend in from the outer corners of your eyelids creating a sharp "C" shape.

5] Line your inner corners of the waterline white.

6] Using L'Oreal Paris SUPERLINER BLACKBUSTER
Create a sleek dark line on your lash line and "wing" up. The more exaggerating it is, the better it is for Halloween. Also create a sleek line covering about 1/3 of your bottom outer lash line.

I love how the marker pen liner glides smoothly during the application! And look~ curve and neat lines could be created even though I'm not a pro on make-up!! So beginners fret not, this shall be your first eye liner and I'm sure you will love it. Most importantly, ITS SMUDGE PROOF!!! Wheeeeee so no issue if you are out the whole day~ You will not have the "dark circles" after a day out!


7] Stick crystals with your eyelash glue!

8] And don't forget your falsies that has more and longer lash towards the outer lid. This will create a more "wing" out effect!


Lastly, Katniss look emphasis on her eye area therefore light pink cheeks and nude lips would be the best to compliment the heavy eye details~

I'm using L'Oreal Paris Lucent Magique - Blush of light glow palette which will be launched next month. I'm super privileged to be one of the first few to try it out~ And it's soooo awesome! The brush is so smooth and the palette came in 3 pink shades. It just blended very well together when applied.

Plus, its one of the blusher that has a mirror! #convenience

Not forgetting the nude lips to complete the look~

Here, I'm using L'Oreal Paris Heart of Pearls - 602 Chestnut & Chic. You can read more review about this lippie I posted previously HERE.


AND NOW I PRESENT THE FINISH LOOK!!!!

SWEE BO?

I'm actually quite satisfied with my eyeliner because basically, I don't use liquid liner or more like I DO NOT KNOW HOW~ LOL. So when I first tried this Marker pen Liner, I'm so shocked! Because it can create a different thickness of lines, when I thought it's gonna be thick! No fret newbies, it is VERY EASY TO CONTROL!
