Friday

Passed by the Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama window display while out Friday night. Went to grab something small to eat (bruschetta) then had 3 rum & diet cokes. Should have stopped at just two. Stayed out til 2am.

Saturday

Homemade pancakes with Pumpkin Spice butter spread and sugar free syrup.

Stayed in most of the day getting addicted to Homeland. Actually watched the entire first season this weekend! Got caught up for the amazing premiere of season 2.
Did not disappoint.

Used this “hot moist sheet” face mask as well. It wasn’t really the best. It didn’t get warm enough for me. I still think these Kao ones are better and cheaper. But it was fun to try and the gel on the mask was relaxing. You get two so I’ll use the other one some other day. Damn packaging is freaking cute though!

Sunday

Sunday I ran errands then I treated my feet to some post-summer care and I also colored my hair a dark brown. I used John Frieda Precision Foam Color in 5N Medium Natural Brown again. I used the same color in May ‘11. I haven’t colored my hair since October ‘11 though. I liked May’s color better. It faded more gracefully So I went with it again.

I’m really happy with it like before
This is photo of it from today. I got rained on twice already before this. It’s a terribly rainy day. I also got a huge smudge of Fiberwig mascara on this shirt this morning. I’m treating the stain now.

It’s from UNIQLO who will be launching a US webstore this autumn so…. I could just replace it finally!

I love the two Meishoku Organic Rose items I picked up in April. Absolutely love.

First the “hair water.” It’s been great to use in the mornings before blow drying. It was especially helpful during summer on a sun-tortured scalp. It mostly leaves my scalp feeling moisturized but it also adds a nice but light texture to my hair as well. If I’m running late in the morning I’ll just use this and blow dry. It gives my hair a nice sleek look without looking completely undone. Smooths flyaways and helps with damaged ends.

Oh and smells great! Of course! Like fresh rose.
It’s a light scent and not too overpowering. Described as “fruity rose.”

It can be used on towel dry hair or completely dry hair. The scent is extremely subtle when used on towel dry hair. When used on dry hair the scent is more apparent like a body spray. I tend to use it before blow drying, to protect my hair from the styling heat but it’s often used as a refresh spray for bedhead or messy hair after going out because it “cuts” the smell of food and tobacco. It’s also silicone-free. I think it might be really good for static come winter! I end up with really electrified hair during winter months.

OH GOD, and now this exists too!?

The second product I have is the Organic Rose Skin Conditioning Gel. It’s a clear gel that moisturizes and tightens. I mostly use this on days I wash my makeup off after work. It gives my skin a nice extra boost of moisture. I use it a few times a week. It smells amazing and does a great job plus the jar lasts. Though I think it’s too tacky of a gel to use in the morning before applying makeup. I’ve only ever used it when I knew I’d be makeup-free.

I said this before but, again, I regret not buying the toner of this series. Also there’s a new moisturizing cream out now that I would love to try.
