DIY Hair Recipe: Abuela's Avocado & Shea Masque
I saw this recipe over at Latina.com and thought it sounded like a nice treat for curls and kinks.
For the shortened version, keep reading below. To see the entire article, click here. Thanks Abuela!
For this recipe, you’ll need one ripe avocado, two tablespoons of olive oil and a quarter cup of melted shea butter. Then just follow these five easy steps:
1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and blend well until you get a smooth, thick mixture.
2. Shampoo your hair as usual. Apply the hair masque from roots to tips.
3. Cover your hair with a shower cap.
4. Leave the hair masque on for about 30 minutes. For even better results, sit under a hooded dryer.
5. Rinse out the mask with lukewarm water and style as usual.
Do you prefer length or thickness?

Hahaha! When it comes to this all-important question, us girls always reply... Why can't I have both?
Anyway, I have neither in this photo!!:
If you think I look weird here it's coz I don't have my usual lash enhancements on! Look super different right?
And if you are a fan of Clicknetwork.tv, you'd perhaps have seen the latest
Chick Vs Chick challenge where Kaykay and I compete to see who can get more people to try on Maybelline's new Long Extreme Stiletto mascara! (I won btw muahahaha)
Why stiletto? Coz just like what stilettos can do for your legs, Maybelline's Long Extreme Stiletto mascara can do for your lashes!
Your end effect is long, tapered and pointy lashes, just like a stiletto heel!
When I heard that I had to do a mascara challenge, I was a little worried coz if the product is not very good then I'd look so super ugly with stumpy little lashes!!
But I had nothing to worry about. BEHOLD!!
Crazy long and thick!!! No photoshop on the lashes! Please erase memory of the first pic of me with no (enhanced) lashes thanks.
After all, Maybelline IS the #1 mascara brand in Singapore, so it lives up to its popularity!
In fact, after I put on my make-up, I was so pleased I took super a lot of camwhoring shots... :D
I can't even remember the last time I had confidence to just put mascara on and no falsies to snap shots. And it feels extra chio coz it seems like I'm one of those lucky girls with ridiculous camel lashes. But actually I'm not it's just the mascara LOL!
If you are wondering how come it works so well, it's coz of this:
And best of all it's all-in-one so don't need to use one tube of fibre and one tube of mascara! Troublesome max.
Here are two pics of girls we asked to try on the mascara on the streets:
And this is just Kaykay and I anyhowly quickly giving just 1 or 2 coats coz we were rushing to win! If you want super long and super thick lashes can just keep on applying until you go mad.
Not only does the Long Extreme Stiletto mascara visibly lengthen lashes by more than 50%, it also contains Pro Vitamin B5 for shiny and smooth lashes! Waterproof and smudgeproof means you don't have to worry about wearing it for long periods of time and having ruined make-up. :)
So you can camwhore...

Check it out! The brush has little fibres in it!
The fibres are the secret to length-enhancing mascaras. :DAnd best of all it's all-in-one so don't need to use one tube of fibre and one tube of mascara! Troublesome max.

And camwhore...
And camwhore...
And camwhore... ALL DAY LONG!!!!!!!!!
If you use mascara, you should definitely give Maybelline's Long Extreme Stiletto mascara a try.
Coz it's also super affordable at $18.90
and available at Watsons and at most places that sell make-up! :D

Anita Grant Rhassoul Clay
Today, I decided it was time to try those Anita Grant Clay cubes that I got last week from Hairrogant. I was already anxious to try the clay and my hair was in need of a wash. My original wash day was set for tomorrow but I had a lot of build up in my hair due to the Eco Styler Gel I used for my puff ball. My hair felt really gross. Any who, I washed with Carols Daughter Dead Sea Moss Shampoo and I applied the clay mixture as my DC. I had prepared it about 20 minutes prior to washing. I used HOT coconut milk instead of boiling water as my base, OMG, the best descion ever. I also added hibiscus powder and honey for some shine, deep hair shaft penetration and thickness to the mixture. Click the jump for more pictures and the application video. Enjoy!
video is under the jump.
Toffee Bark
Toffee is one of my favorite confections. When I make it, I like to toss the pecans in butter and salt before roasting them for a rich flavor.
