Crowning Glory

20130212-130112.jpg
I have done all kinds of hairstyle.Except for bald or skin-head, I am a curly top until 3 I guess. My childhood memories were spent sporting a boy-cut. It was only in third grade when I thought that a bob cut is already a Rapunzel because my first taste of long locks was when I was in the university already. Can you now imagine how I managed my crowning glory?

The photo above shows the current status of my hair (its actually worst in person). The ombre effect is actually the result of a haircolor I had in 2011 that was never re-touched. It’s just because I wanted my original black color back so I left it that way. Should I be thankful that the ombre hair color is quite the trend now? (Wiki says that “ombre hair color” is a technique where the hair is darker at the roots, and lighter at the ends). I usually have the urge to chop my hair every time my birthday is just around the corner. I’ve never had my hair done here in the Land of Kaugahan. I am scared but I will soon. Cross my fingers it will turn out just fine. So now, I am searching for my kind of hairstyle. A look that is not just right for my hair type but fits my facial structure and personality. No matter how I wanted to go with big wavy curls (imagine Carrie Bradshaw), it just wont sit well with my freakin face. There is also one problem every time I have a new hairdo, it  always looks good right after the cut and the blowdry. The following day, after I’ve washed my hair, it spells disaster. Hayyy…anyways, here are some of the looks I’ve been looking at. I hope the hairstylist can copy this, plus I hope I look like these girls when I wake up tomorrow.

PS. Yes I love bangs.

ITEM OF DESIRE: CREME DE LA MER

Just last Sunday, "Master Diwara" (my source of the latest spotted celebrities in Manila) posted a photo of Gretchen Barretto (ASAP guesting) on our private FB group page. This was the caption : BOTOX MUCH. Hahahaha! I told her that I am even using anti-wrinkles now at 32.

The other night, "Master Diwara" sent a message via viber (oh yes, viber is resurrected in the Land of Kaugahan) asking me what's the anti-wrinkle cream I am using. Its a product I can afford and I will post about it if I see the effect on my tiny lines under-eye. I have been using it for a month now non-religiously, though (I can be super dooper lazy most of the time sometimes).

On our last Dubai trip in February, my HS barkada and I made a quick stop at Bloomingdales Dubai Mall. We have to make alibis to the husbands waiting in vain as we cant skip this part before living the gigantic mall…and that is to see LA MER.

Behold Creme De La Mer, the secret of many celebrities.

Just like any other beauty products, you dont expect instant effect (its not Botox my dear). But let me just tell you that when I tried it – it felt so light on the skin, feeling supple and not greasy at all. Of course, luxuriously beautiful skin doesn't come cheap. I think Rustans retails Lamer in the Philippines. For our US followers, La Mer is available at Bloomingdales. Have it delivered at your doorstep for $265 (size -2 oz).

Cheers!


HOW CREATIVE CAN YOU GET?

Hmmm…gusto ko i-try! Baka si Edward's Scissorhands ang barbero nila.

Cheers!
