review// JOICO K-PAK RECONSTRUCT SHAMPOO

I'm back again with a review!

I'm really guilty of this, but do any of you just totally ignore your hair? Like sure you buy something for it occasionally, but just use whatever shampoo/conditioner you have around?

I'm like that. I focus on the after shower treatments like trying not to style with heat so often, and getting a leave-in treatment [reviews on that one later]

But now I realize recovery starts from the very beginning. Starting with your shampoo.

INTRODUCING MY LIFE CHANGER:

Item Description:

The Joico K-Pak Reconstruct Shampoo ensures the reconstruction process of your hair using a unique cream foundation enriched with Joico's exclusive Keratin Silicone Complex. It features a balance of 19 essential amino acids that are considered to be the building blocks of hair. The shampoo adheres quickly and effectively to ensure maximum protection and restoration from the cuticle to the cortex. This color safe shampoo also retains and protects the color of your hair. It provides the hair with sufficient elasticity, strength and shine. The damaged hair shampoo must be applied to wet hair to create a rich lather. For optimum results, repeat the process after the first rinsing. The Joico K-Pak shampoo is the ideal for treating damaged hair.

Joico K Pak Reconstruct Shampoo:

10.1 fl oz.

Specially made for damaged hair.

Color-safe.

Imparts elasticity, strength and shine to the hair.

At work, Halloween .Just after dying my hair brown! It's dry at the end and tangles super easily. You can see the ends being quite frizzy.

The day after I first used K-PAK shampoo. Texture is much smoother and though it looks frizzy, those are just fly-aways from the wind. Ends are much better and overall my hair is smooth!

My hair type is coarse, dry, and super super thick. Basically the top 3 worst hair types combined into one. My good friend who does my hair absolutely hates when I come in asking for color done. lmao

She says I have enough hair on my head for 2 people.
[It's that bad]

For the shampoo, the instructions are easy. Lather rinse repeat.

The consistency is thick and super easy to use throughout your hair. Lathers easily and rinses out clean but gentle. My hair doesn't tangle as much in the shower. It's also much quicker to blow dry and my hair is smooooth once it's all dry.

So this is a definite repurchase and I'm eyeing the conditioner/treatment set.

I will pamper my hair from now on, I promise. Especially since I want to go lighter~

BLACK MILK// der kuss dress reviews // 6 Month ANNIVERSARY

2 days ago I celebrated our 6 month anniversary with my boyfriend.

I don't think I've ever mentioned on the blog because life has been so hectic but the friend I mentioned a while back was really there for me when my last relationship ended. I was miserable and didn't know what to do with myself or anything in my life really, and he was there. I didn't expect anything to happen ever but it turns out to be a happy ending.

Here are some photos my friend Sukhraj of Sukhraj Bhattal photography took for us! He's amazing and if you're in the Vancouver area and want to have him take photos for you, I highly recommend it. Sukhraj is versatile and can take portrait/glam/cosplay photos easily. He's often taken my cosplay pics at cons too ehehe.

We celebrated earlier in the week with a nice dinner and went clubbing for our friend's birthday whose event was the same day L O L

I think I've outgrown clubbing though. It's so tiring. My old body had to drag itself into work the next afternoon and I suffered orz|||

I have so many new things that I budgeted myself for.

;A; So happy to have these in my possession at last.

I managed to grab the Black Milk dress [my first one] during their anniversary sale so everything was 20% off!

If anyone knows me, they know Klimt is my favorite painter and I love 'The Kiss'

I even did one of my art final projects on him, trying to emulate his style. Ahaha.

It's so inspiring to have a painting of his on my body. Even if it's only a print dress.

*A*

Black Milk has rave reviews from other bloggers so I had to see what the fuss was about.

The fabric is amazing. I'm not very curvy, but this dress has a way of accentuating the good and glossing over the not so awesome parts of your body!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!

I have instagram now too! follow me @ rundevinrun

My beautiful friend Hannah took these photos. She's a model in Vancouver and does some work regularly. Gorgeous girl, gorgeous photos, gorgeous soul <3

I'm a little drunk and I need you now// recent haul

So I decided to picture spam tonight. I had a couple of drinks tonight after work and I also found that upon my return home, two of my parcels had arrived in the mail!

Overjoyed, I took photos and I tried on two items. A pair of bandage leggings, and a pair of false thigh high stockings.
I'm overjoyed at the item quality bought at Asia-fashion-wholesale and I can't wait to purchase from them again. The shipping was also super fast. I bought from them a week ago and I already got it? AMAAAZING.

Also I bought a lipstick from Etude House called 'Bashful Coral' because it was endorsed by my favorite member of SHINee: Jonghyun. Sometimes I am shameless orz||| I haven't swatched it yet, but I might tomorrow! I'm so excited! I hope it can be a dupe for my lost MAC lipstick Ever Hip from the Liberty of London collection released a few years ago.

Here are my recent snaps!

Bye for now! I'll review more later!

friend's giveaway// & new happenings

Sorry for the hiatus guys! I've been lining up some things for reviews but I've been really busy lately.

I recently broke up with my boyfriend of 2 years on good terms.
We are going to try to be friends.

It's hard. But it's necessary for my future happiness.
I've cried my tears and I've been happy with him.
I wish him the best of luck.


In slightly less somber news, a friend of mine omnom-neko is holding a giveaway that would be fabulous to win. A link is here!
