Review: Vivid and Vogue Automatic Hair Curling Iron

Hair can always make or break a look. It doesn't matter how good the makeup is if the hair is not styled. To glam-up every look I really like a curly hairstyle. With that being said, I have been obsessed with hair curling irons. I really don't intend to add more but due to a repetitive ad I got myself a Vivid and Vogue Automatic Hair Curling Iron. 

What is it? 

Vivid and Vogue Automatic Hair Curling Iron from the name itself makes instant automatic curls. This brand is said to be from Taiwan. 

Packaging

It comes in a thick pink box. First thing lasts, it looks expensive as the box looks like an expensive product for me. The curling iron comes with an instruction manual (in chinese), 2 pink hair clips and a rat tail comb.

Experience

I seriously already have a functioning automatic hair curler already but I still bought Vivid and Vogue. This is because the other one I have is meant for short hair and I can't use it. I gave Vivid and Vogue hair curler a chance as the long iron seems like it will work wonders on my hair.

So I love the ease of using this curling iron and there is no need to do the manual twirling myself. There is some hair curling iron they call Kiss Instawave which they said to be similar to this one but it is expensive so it's great to gave an alternative. At first I had some difficulty in curling but after a few tries I got the hang of it. It was the easiest and fastest curling I have done ever! I was done in practically 20 minutes, whereas I will usually take 1 hour to finish as I have pretty thick hair.

How I use it?

1. Just gather an inch or so of your hair.

2. Insert the lower portion of your hair along the plastic stakes of the curler base.

3. Press one of the rotator, either clockwise or counter- clockwise and it will automatically gather and curl your hair towards the iron.

4. Hold for a couple of seconds (I leave mine for 20 seconds as my hair is chemically treated but you can use it longer based on your own best judgement.)

5. Slowly pull the curler downwards. 

6. Easiest curls, DONE!

How much and where to buy?

P300 from shopee

What I love

I can use it on my long hair
Automatic curls with just a click of a button
Affordable
Fastest and easiest curl I have done
Long lasting curls

What I don't

No temperature indicator. This is important as my hair is sometimes more sensitive than normal to heat when it's newly colored and I like adjusting the heat.

Overall~ 
I honestly love and recommend Vivid and Vogue Automatic Hair Curling Iron right now and I don't see myself using my other irons for a while. The ease of use is really something for me and I like how it heats fast too despite not having the temperature indicator. Hope it can last long on me!

What I've watched from Netflix so far

Rainy days is usually the time when I indulge with Netflix. I have been given this account on a whim as I keep on asking boyfie to download random series before. Anyhow what have I been watching in Netflix lately you say?

My watch later list is getting longer and longer eh? However the naive me keeps on watching my favorite dramas on repeat!!

A Love so Beautiful

My ultimate favorite drama is this chinese drama. I think I have watched this like 5-6 times already and I still want to watch. I have related to the little girl's persevere love to her crush. I really love everything about this drama even the supporting cast are great and they have done a good job in adding color to the story.

I find this good read about the relationship of the 2 protagonist. I still love Jiang Chen nonetheless.

Love Alarm

This drama will have it's 2nd season soon and and the story is based on a webtoon. I have fallen in love with Song Kang. He is just drop dead good looking. The plot takes place in an advanced time wherein you can use a phone app to know if someone is in love with you within a 10m radius.

My ID is Gangnam Beauty

I watched the first episode of this then stopped before watching it again to finish the whole series. I wasn't fond of the protagonist but the story line is cool. I like how the guy has chased the girl on this drama unlike the usual wherein the girl gives more attention. Cha Eun Woo of Astro looks so gorgeous AF too. 

He is Psychometric

This is an idol laden kdrama. The start had me by surprise as there was some murder going on and a very hideous one. The story revolved around Jinyoung who tries to find the hidden

King's Avatar

Another intriguing chinese drama, and it includes Yangyang! I watched his earlier hit, Love 020 and this one didn't disappoint too. I like the whole story of how he recruited the best team mates and how he got back from playing after retiring out of his own will. And yes, Yangyang too looks so hot in this drama, as always.

Overall~ 

Okay! I know, I know. It is all in korean and chinese but hey! My list has Sponge bob Squarepants too and I also included american series like Once upon a time but I haven't gotten the chance to start watching it yet. The number of episodes puts me off. But Im'ma try this 2020! I got a lot of time for it too.

What I got from Lazada and Shopee 11.11 Sale

Hey guys and gals! I just want to drop by and say hello. I am not marked safe from the Lazada and Shopee 11.11 Sale sadly. Lol, but kidding aside I want to share what I got from the recent sale. There were so much discount vouchers and cashback that I cannot really spend the day without buying anything. Oh yes I am such an easy target for the big sales. The thing is, I am not even qualified for COD for the Shopee deliveries due to 2 returned parcels I had this month. **Sorry sellers!** I wasn't at home during the deliveries or I was sleeping.

I think I had a post about this before but before any online shopping I make sure to not just use a voucher or promo code but to also use Shopback. It's great because I get up to 30% cashback from shopping in Lazada, Shopee, Foodpanda and Booking.com which are sites that I frequently use. They even offer P100 sign-up bonus. Yay.

My Bottle Water Cup with pouch
An impulse buy, plastic is not so thick but for P50, I can't complain. IT has a free pouch which I find cute too.

Mini Led Light Air Humidifier

This is for an exchange gift. I hope the recipient will love using this! I included an essential oil in jasmine too.

Vivid and Vogue Automatic Curling Iron

Curiosity has caught the best of me again. Despite having a lot of hair irons I still got my own Vivid and Vogue curler. Video Review coming up soon.

Stainless Steel Thermos/Vacuum Bottle
More of an impulse buy too, but this seems pretty decent for the price. The gold color adds to the flair.

Egg Sitter Gel Flexible Support
I saw this being recommended in a freelancer group. I thought of giving this a try because it says it can ease back pain due to long sitting. It is very affordable and somehow I think it works. I don't get the body aches I often complain anymore. Cool. I also gave this out as a gift because I know it'll be something that they can really make use of.

Cuties Catz Cat Food

I got a kilo of my cat's favorite food for only P90 per kilo. My friend says this is already cheap, so me and my cats are thankful. The seller even allowed me to choose flavors. They have seafood, tuna and tuna/shrimp flavor.

Creamsilk Triple Keratin Rescue Conditioner

You know how much I love this hair conditioner. Now I can't literally live without it! My hair is so stiff when I don't use this baby. I availed them again in bulk both in gold and pink for scent variety. 

Realme XT

This was not part of my plan, but my boyfriend was eager for me to get a new unit. Yikes. This guy is bad for my budgeting endeavors. at first I want to purchase the Realme 5 Pro 8gb variant but they did not included it in the sale so I got this instead. It was the maximum sale price I can ever get because I used 2 vouchers! Lucky. 

Overall~ 

 I really have a lot of  stuff in my cart right now. This is bad as there is an upcoming 12.12 sale next. Shoot. Anyways, thank you or visiting my humble space in the world wide web. I really hope to update my Instagram often too. Do follow me at: @kvchien

Packaging

The product comes with a box. Inside is a plastic white tube with floral design and a golden cap. Ain't it lovely?! I love the blend of colors. 

Experience

Pax Moly Dr Whitening Perfect Cream 2 smells like a lightly scented cream. It looks like whipped cream. It is a not runny and the magic comes when you blend it in. It releases water droplets making the blending and cream absorption so much easier. It is like moisturizing and prepping the face all at once with the addition of sunblock properties, It also has pore blurring properties which is why I love it under make-up, I can also use it alone for no make-up days.

Dr. Whitening Perfect Cream 2 doesn't drip into the eyes like literally! I swam and it didn't hurt my eyes at all. I like how  it also turns into a watery texture which feels light and moisturizing for light not-so-cold days.

What I love

Very light-weight

Highly moisturizing

Water droplets that pops out while blending

Affordable

Doesn't sting when I used it on the pool

Absorbs easily

What I don't

Nothing I can mention

Will I repurchase? 

YES. I alternate this with the original Pax Moly Dr. Whitening.

1st time IPL at Pink Parlour PH

For the longest time I have always love sugar wax as opposed to plucking and shaving. I seemed to became more careless now as I have been plucking for a while ever since I have worked at home so I thought of how about I get rid of the under arm hair permanently? I thought of doing an IPL Hair removal.

What is IPL? 

Intense pulsed light (IPL) is a technology used by cosmetic and medical practitioners to perform various skin treatments for aesthetic and therapeutic purposes, including hair removal. 

For IPL treatments they say that it takes an average of 8–10 treatments to remove most visible hair. I am not sure how it will work on me so I want to get an affordable option. I have seen a facebook ad for IPL treatment from Pink Parlour PH.

Why choose Pink Parlour Alpha Light Permanent Hair Removal? 

1. It’s effective 

2. No more burns 

3. BYE, BYE ingrown hairs (chicken skin) 

4. Save time & money 

5. Lightens the targeted area 

You will notice hair falling off within 7 days to 3 weeks after the treatment, but hair reduction may not be noticeable as we all have many cycles of actively growing hair. An average person may require 3 to 5 session before noticing any hair reduction. 

Duration: 30 

Min Price:₱1,500.00 Inclusive of taxes

Experience

I have went to their SM North Branch and have set up an appointment at 10AM. I was actually a bit late due to the distance, I was not able to compute the travel time correctly. I came from the south to try their service.

There was a wee bit of waiting time. There is only one customer when I came. During the treatment you will be asked to take off your top and use a towel so they can do the IPL. Thye've applied a cold gel and then proceeded in using their IPL device. It was warm and and all, not really tingly. There was no provided protective glasses so I assume that it is not needed. 

The attendant is a bit chatty and wants to upsell on their other underam treatments. It was really all good until I realized that the total treatment time lasted for only 14 minutes. One underarm was for 9 minutes then the other for 5 minutes. The whole underarm wasn't even fully treated with the IPL light. There was some parts missed. 

How much and where to buy?

I got for P1500 in one of their Facebook ads buy 1 take 1 promo

Overall~ 

With all fairness with the treatment, I noticed hair didn't grow for about a week. I didn't experienced any hair falling from my underarms, I think that happens if I do the treatment for a couple more times. I honestly felt like I could have done it better if I was at home and got my own device. I wasn't satisfied with how long they did the treatment. I woke up real early to avail and yet I wasn't overall satisfied with it. My place is actually far from SM North so I think I won't be going for the 2nd IPL Treatment although I have already paid for it. It is just not worth the hassle.

For now I might go back to cold wax as it is more affordable and so far it works. I want to stop plucking as my armpit is getting a bit darker than before. I will also add an IPL at home device as my goal for next year.
