I hope everyone's having a good weekend.
Apparently I wasn't the only one who experience bad customer service mentioned in the last post. In the end I did walk out of the shop with two Shiseido products: the cream eyeliner and Perfect Rouge lipstick.
So I'm glad to tell you that I LOVE the liner. It stays put all day as long as I apply powder before and after on the eyelids.
The Madina bronzer that I tried out this past week was also great. For now, I'm just using it to contour. Here I highlighted my cheeks too. It's subtle, but I hope you can see.
Today I was determined to have a different kind of Saturday so I decided to try the Thai massage place downstairs from where I live and do my own hair colour (not pictured above).
Sorry I didn't take photos so you will just have to imagine "The Orchids" massage place with dim lights and the typical Thai decor. It was cozy. I asked for a traditional massage that focused on pressure points. It was different from the Chinese massage that I knew. The Thai masseuse was tiny, but she could really hurt you, lol. Just half an hour of treatment, I came out of the place like butter and couldn't walk a straight line :-)
But I did zig-zag my way to the pharma-cosmetics shop and got a vegetable extract hair colour in a dark hazelnut. May I say that I will never do this again by myself at home, because it's just such a mess. I think I did it right though. The colour is luminous and beautiful, and best of all, it doesn't have ammonium and parabens!

ohh the madina bronzer has got you glowing! the massage sounds very relaxing! My hair would never colour with such colourant :( glad it turned out well for you!
Hi Cheryl! I'm glad you had a better experience this weekend!
How do you like the Perfect Rouge lippie? I got the OR one and I just love it!
I know about colouring your hair at home..it's so messy that I just have it done at a salon, and the natural non-flat look I want, I can't do at home anyway. I just use that Clairol Nice N Easy Root touchup...went through 2 boxes in Detroit.
I just love massage, and you are right about those Thai masseusses--they can kil!
oooh i like a good massage
u must have slept well after
Hi Cheryl! Will answer your email tomorrow, when I have a bit more time on my hands!! At least it's sunny this weekend...I was in Milan yesterday (at the in-laws') and it was soooo hot! Not used to it anymore, are we?? Just wanted to know, going back a few posts, where do you buy sjal? Is it in Rinascente o Coin or...? Hope the massage effects are still keeping you nice and relaxed! :)
Oooh I wanna see your hair color!!
I've been dying for a massage! My masseuse is awesome at deep tissue.. mmhhhm =)
I think your cheek color looks great!
Yeah, I'd imagine a loofah scrub working real well. I think it my be all in my head, but I want a scrub to put on my loofah, hands, or body cloth. Hehe, I find it a bit fun =P
Awww let me know if you need help getting paul and joe, I don't have access to it but I can order it online (in case my way is cheaper for ya).
No, because Yumeko gave me a whitening serum that I'm quite happy with right now. I am going to get her the whitening serum though.
Wow, that sounds amazing. I wonder what I can substitute for the honey in that mask .. hmm
getting a massage sounds good! Definitely sounds like an easy Sat to me :)
I love massage... I always go for Thai Foot Reflexology and body massages... but i would prefer them to be more heavy handed as Thai ladies are always demure and gentle. Hahaha..
