First Impressions: Pantene 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner

Recently, I've been seeing a lot of people posting about the newest product of Pantene which is their 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner. I became curious about this so called 'miracle conditioner' so yesterday, I decided to pick one up at Robinsons Supermarket.

Pantene Pro-V 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner Hair Fall Control
180 ml
(P159)

It's my 1st time to use it today and what I can say about this conditioner is that it smells so good. The scent of this product is just plain wonderful. I can't really tell if it's effective in reducing hair fall (Disclaimer: I DO NOT experience hair fall but I have found some products which can help strengthen and reduce hair fall) since I have only used it once but I will update you guys if it is worth the investment.  Actually, the reason why I took this particular variant was because it was the only one available at Robinsons so I decided to wing it and just try it out for myself to see what everyone is so excited about.

The Pantene 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner comes in two variants: Total Damage Care and Hair Fall Control. This conditioner is also available in three sizes: 70 ml (P59), 180 ml (P159) and 340 ml (P259).

You can get Pantene's 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner at your local supermarkets and at Zalora.com for 50 % off (Promo)!

My Morning Routine

I've been meaning to share my morning routine with you girls for some time now but I honestly don't know what took me so long to do it. Anyway, before I start sharing my morning routine I want to give you guys an idea of what my skin is like. I have a combination skin type which means that there are parts of my face that are dry and parts of it that are oily. I started practicing this beauty regimen two years ago since I noticed some dry patches on my forehead. At first I got rid of the dryness temporarily by spraying some facial mist on a kabuki brush and just dabbing that on the dry area of my forehead before applying any makeup. Eventually, I realized that investing in good quality skincare products will help improve the state of my skin in the long run.

I keep all my essentials in this cute red tote from The Body Shop which was a gift from my aunt.




Morning Routine:



 *Products are used from left to right


 Little Baby Sweet Macaron Lip Balm


I start of by applying Little Baby Sweet Macaron Lip Balm on my lips. My puckers are Sahara Desert dry and though this lip balm does not remove the dryness completely it soothes my chapped lips and it's able to heal any minor wounds on the side of my lips. It does have a slight stinging effect though.


 Tyro White Toner


I moisten a cotton ball (I usually only use half a cotton ball) with Tyro White Toner and apply that all over my face and neck. Since this toner contains alcohol it's more drying and it stings my eye and nose area. I also find it very pungent but maybe that's just me.


 Olay Age Protect Anti-Ageing UV Lotion


I apply some Olay Age Protect Anti-Ageing UV Lotion to both my face and neck. I love Olay and I've tried other moisturizers of theirs but I always go back to this one since I love the fact that it has SPF 15 and that it is an anti aging lotion as well. I don't break out whatsoever and it doesn't have a greasy feel to it.


 Black Beauty Hair Moisturizer with UV Protection


After applying moisturizer on my face, I do my makeup then I use a pump of Black Beauty Hair Moisturizer with UV Protection and smooth that onto my hair. This hair serum is a little heavy on my locks so I make sure that I don't use too much of it or else it will weigh down my hair and make it look greasy. It has a powdery floral scent which I like.


Rucy's Vanity Hand Cream in Lavender


I use Rucy's Vanity Hand Cream in Lavender during the morning when I don't have pole dancing classes and I really like the formulation of this hand cream since it moisturizes my hands without making them too slippery. I'm not too keen on the scent of this since it smells like medicine instead of lavender.

And just in case you guys are wondering, I do use lotion but I only use it 4 times a week 'cause the rest of the time I use Nivea In Shower Conditioner since I attend pole dancing classes during the days when I don't have school. 

I hope guys and girls with combination skin type found this helpful!

Pop of Color

Hello everyone! Do you ever want to wear just one color but you're afraid of looking too dull or too plain? Well, I think I have the perfect solution to your dilemma.


 [vest: True Love top: Green Hills  | skirt: Green Hills  | shoes: Tomato]
















As you can see, my outfit is very dark. My tank top is gray while my skirt, shoes and bag are all black. Even my accessories are not brightly colored making them blend with my overall look quite nicely. I wanted to add a pop of color without taking away the essence of the look I was going for which is grunge with a feminine touch. I decided to add a denim vest with floral details to make my outfit look more girly without overpowering the edgy vibe. You can also swipe a bright pink lippie like the one I'm wearing in this picture and this is called the MAC Candy Yum Yum (matte finish) lipstick which I got as a gift from my aunt and my uncle. It livens up my face and compliments the pink floral details of my vest.

Sweater Weather

Hey guys! HAPPY NEW YEAR! I know it's been a while since I last posted some outfits of mine, so I decided to let you guys and gals catch up on what I'm wearing nowadays... I was supposed to post my oldest to my most recent outfit pickings but unfortunately the net kept crashing whenever I tried to upload them so I hope you don't mind if these posts are at a RANDOM order.

Even though it's already January the weather is still pretty chilly especially during the night time. Maria calls this 'Sweater Weather'. I have to agree with her though. It's that time of the year wherein for once, anybody can layer on their clothing for both comfort and style. Kat just loves to do so. I spotted this cool and quriky pull over in Landmark and I instantly fell in love with it. This comes in three colors: white, gray and black. My mum got me the forest green jeggings during our first visit to the newly opened Uniqlo branch in Gateway. I think that these pants are made for comfort. They are easy to wear and style at the same time. Plus, they come in a variety of colors. I ordered the shoes online at Tomato because I had a coupon which I was dying to use. You can still but these gorgeous pair of shoes though at their stores. Tomato has a lot of branches so it won't be difficult for you to get your hands on these lovely oxfords.
