New Year, New Hair ... and other guilty pleasures...

Yesterday I went to MBK. My intention was to get some toothpaste cos I'm seriously running out. But I also kind of wanted to do something with my hair -- a colour and maybe a trim too.

First I had lunch at Sizzler, ordering the new spicy chicken steak. It turned out to be quite salty. I couldn't eat very much and actually left my plates and bowl not as clean as usual.

Then I went to the Watson's on the sixth floor to get my toothpaste ... and what should I find but discounted ZA products! The oil-control foundation powder refills were only about 267 baht, down from their usual 300-something. Without thinking of how much powder I already have, I decided to buy it, telling myself that when my Fasio powder runs out, I'll put the new ZA into the Majolica Majorca case in its place.

I got the ZA powder in number 22 because 20 is their whitest and neither of the two Watsons at MBK had number 21 which I think would have matched me perfectly! Afterwards I tried the ZA powder on top of what I was wearing that day (if I remember correctly: Mistine BB cream, Maybelline mineral powder foundation, and a re-do with Etude Dream On) so I couldn't really tell if the colour was all right or not.

Anyway, while at Watson's I got the Fasio eyebrow mascara. They had two colours, brown and light brown, and I got the brown because I was afraid light brown would be too light. That was before I had my hair dyed, however. But the brown doesn't do a bad job: it lightens my brows just enough to not look really black compared to my hair. And it's easy to wash off with my Ziiit Milk makeup cleanser.

Now, after getting the cosmetics (and the toothpaste of course) I went to the Neo hair stylist at Bonanza across the road. But I didn't stay. There were at least two people waiting in the queue and I think I needed to have a coupon to get the cheap prices they advertised. So I had to go back to my staple, Big Cut, at MBK.

This time, Big Cut did a great job with my colour. I'm very happy with it. It's sort of copper. And I got a slight trim and a treatment done while I was there. I did spend 1900 baht but I think it was worth it.

I don't think I'll be doing a colour like this again soon. I think I need to dye my hair a natural dark brown for graduation. After that I might stop dying it for a while. I'm not keen on enduring the stinging sensation the chemicals cause on my scalp again soon.

Today I wore Mistine Number One Platinum. It looks great with my new copper hair. However, at the end of the day, it seems to be coming off with the excess sebum. Or maybe all foundation powders are like that.

And I think soon I'm gonna have to get the L'Oreal De-Maq makeup removing cleanser -- the most expensive one -- it's about 200 baht.
