Wanna wake up to good hair everyday?

TSUBAKI, launched in 2006, has been leading the hair care market in Japan. Recording a total number of shipments of over 270 million units, TSUBAKI is valued as a brand created to serve the beauty of women's hair while enhancing the attractiveness of women.

Ever since I stumbled upon this hair brand during my exchange in Seoul last year, I've been hooked. I know I know, it is good to change shampoo brands once in awhile right? But I just can't bear to switch brands, because I love this brand of hair care too much and everything else just won't match up. Hahaha.

Just a fun fact: I am a legit and loyal fan of TSUBAKI and have been so for the past year. I've been paying for all the products myself from last year till now. It was only recently that TSUBAKI Singapore tied up with me, and while I am obviously overjoyed, you girlies should rejoice more. Y'know why?

Because TSUBAKI is having promos in stores soon, starting from 15 March 2015! Read on, you don't wanna leave anytime soon.

On my part, I refrain from perming my hair, because perming really spoils and damages your hair ends. But I still dye my hair every month.

My locks are achieved from wearing curlers at night. From the curls, you can see the shine from my hair, all healthy tips! No more dried or split ends surfacing so often anymore.

TSUBAKI's Hair Oil (60ml) - $26.90

Formulated with high concentration of selected camellia oil to deeply protect, moisturize and repair your hair, so that it will have the "luxurious shine" look day in day out. It isn't greasy also, so those with oily scalp (like me) needn't worry. 

I think that's one of the reasons why I love TSUBAKI so much. It achieves this shine for me without making my hair look oily or greasy. Very impressive. 

How to apply evenly:

- spread an appropriate amount (about the size of a 20-cent coin) onto your palms and work it through your hair

- then, take another portioning of equal size and now focus on the areas that require extra application

- start from the tips of your hair, and work upwards. This is to prevent flat hair!

Head Spa Sparkling Serum (130g) - $18.90

This is a leave-in scalp essence that helps to moisturize, soften and stimulate blood circulation for a healthy scalp. It will settle into your hair and leave a cooling sensation when it penetrates. And this is also not greasy or sticky! Feels very relaxing, like an actual spa.

No need to spend money at salon if you're on budget, just use this!

After shower:

- dry your hair

- shake the bottle horizontally 4-5 times

- position the nozzle about 2cm away from your cleansed scalp

- spray 8-10 spots onto your scalp in a single session

- gently press your scalp with your palms until the sparkling/popping sound disappears

- you're done, now sit down like a tai tai and relax.

Simple as that! You have to try it on your own to believe. And now's a good time because TSUBAKI's Hair Oil (60ml) and Sparkling Serum (130g) are currently having a "$2.70 off" promo, exclusively sold at Watsons only. 

So don't wait anymore! You only have that one head of pretty hair, so take care of that mane. If you don't pamper your hair, who will?

A woman's hair accounts for 50% of her appearance, so if you've got this lovely shiny healthy locks down pat, half the battle is won.

You know you want it,

The concept of a 'Red Wine Face Mask' began some 10 years ago, when Taiwanese actress and singer Barbie Hsu, who once played the role of Shan-Tsai in the popular TV drama Meteor Garden, introduced it in her beauty book -  The Beauty Queen. 

I don't know about you, but I'm sure a fan of that that drama series (uh huh, you've got it, coughs Jerry Yan). 

I relished those nights, because they were the rare times my mother allowed my sister and I to stay up late and catch the drama. That was pretty damn long ago, I think I was only in primary school. Nevertheless, I still remember "Shan-Tsai"'s fantastic complexion in 流星花园 and during the drama promotions.

So, I was very pleased to receive this product from The Influencer Network about 2 weeks ago - then again, I'm always happy to receive beauty products - for me to do a review!

This skincare product by For Beloved One launched the upgraded Red Wine Antioxidant Night Jelly, which allows for your skin to indulge in the most luxurious treatment and gain miraculous results. 

I used it for 2 weeks and shared it with my mother and sister to see if we had any differing results.

Mom: Felt that her skin was smoother on the morning after.

Sister: Completely in love with it, so much so that I have gifted her the entire product. /lol/

My personal thoughts: I agree with my mom - my skin feels tight and supple when I wake up in the mornings, and there is this translucent glow to it. After washing it off, my face is soft and ready for makeup to be applied. The only thing I didn't really like: the red wine smell. Not being a fan of alcohol, the smell of wine was pretty strong for me.

Benefits: Anti-ageing and youthful resurrection of skin

Packaging wise: A good shape for gift-wrapping; looks presentable without wrapping also. 

Overall, it isn't as miraculous as it claims to be overnight, but I definitely feel that my skin did not look as tired after 2 weeks. I look fresher, so this is some good wine we can definitely get drunk on ^^

This product is exclusively sold at Sephora, at $78 per tub (50ml). You can follow them on Facebook here.

Many thanks to TIN and Sephora for this! :)
