190923 Emide Titanium Blender

i bought a blender today! well actually i already own 2 blenders from taobao but this was so cheap i couldn't resist. i have been considering this for a few months since i first saw it at LOHBs and nampyeon says there isn't a big price difference between online and offline. this poor blender had like dust gathering on its box because no one paid attention to electronic devices in a beauty shop. but with such a posh design and priced at just 22,800won, it's just too good to miss!


and unpacking this excitedly at home!



comes with the blender device and the tumbler set. simple. it looks so prettyyyyyy and poshhh and elegant!


 the tumbler is good usage with a tea filter and a cap.


weirdly enough the ring at the top can be flipped up. i have no idea what it's for...


the instruction manual says to cut the fruits up in about 2-3cm big. i've prepared pear cubes and added about 40% water to it.

and then to start blending - just cap the cover and twist it in the machine.


it's done in just 10secs! the manual says you're not supposed to use it continuously for 1min, but i guess there's really no need. 10-15secs is more than enough. there's a slight burning motor smell probably because it's so high speed. but no cause for worry since it doesn't affect the taste. but i guess that's why you can't use it for more than 1min, it'll probably blow up... hahahah.


got my own juicy pear juice in a poshy posh tumbler. yum! i don't know why but i have problems sucking the juice from the hole even though the hole is so big.. it just doesn't come out smoothly. prob cos my pears are still in super small pieces and not totally watery...? but still it's a good, pretty and cheap machine!

190920 Fiona Fringe Roll

i bought this fringe roll sheet because there was a 50% discount at Olive & Young. It was just 3k won for 10pcs. cheappppp.

Each piece is individually packed and feels kinda like a wet tissue, only smaller. it can cover only half a medium size roll.

Anyway this is how my fringe looks like naturally. I had it permed twice? But i think everything was cut off so it is as good as being unpermed. It's so long and i always have difficulty trying to roll it.


 So here's me all dressed up with the roll. hurhur.


After approximately 5 mins, you can remove the roll but I just left it on while applying lipstick and this is how it looks. It's kinda wet and a little hard. and you can already see that my fringe has curled and has been shortened by 30%.



But the sheet is still wet and i thought i might just reuse it for the left and right side of my hair. lolol. You can probably use it for various other parts of your hair that requires curling?


and the final outlook. It looks half decent but that's just the beginning of the day. The moist dries up pretty fast (10-15mins?). use a hair dryer if you're in a rush but i was just afraid it might 'blow' the style away. and since i was reusing the sheet for other parts i didn't really need to dry it.



 OK i'm ready to go out! The weather in Korea is about 26degrees and not so humid. I think the most important factor in maintaining the fringe is probably humidity. i find that my fringe dies almost immediately after stepping out the door in singapore.

I was indoor most of the time so there's no wind. i went to Express Bus terminal to shop and had some good food with nampyeon. The fish cuisine at the NC shopping mall about 1 bus stop away from the terminal is so super delicious. YUMMMMMs.




and then i took the bus home. during the day i kept sweeping my hair to the side because it kinda affect my vision and makes my eyes ticklish but i guess it uh kinda holds up for a good 10hrs? i'd think if my fringe is shorter it would do a better job. at the end of the day it wasn't so hard anymore and felt like my natural fringe with a slight bounce at the top. oh and it was so warm in our bus i almost died since i was wearing furry clothes.


for 3k won, it's definitely a good buy. i think i'll get it if i don't want to take my electronic curler and for like short trips.... if my fringe is shorter. still don't really want to cut it!
