Wella Launches New Hair Color Series - Illumina Color Japan in Singapore

Hi Huneybees,

For those who love to colour their hair will know that it can be a painful process, leaving our hair dry and "crispy". Wouldn't it be nice if there is a hair dying process that can give us gorgeous hair colour and leave hair smoother and more radiant?

Yes! There is such a solution now! Wella Professionals, a brand under Coty Professional Beauty, the professional division of Coty Inc., known for its portfolio of leading salon brands such as Wella Professionals, System Professional, ghd and OPI has launched its new colour range Illumina Color Japan in Singapore. This is the brand's largest innovation and is uniquely formulated in Japan, designed specifically for the Asian hair and tested on Asian hair.

This revolutionary professional hair colour range leaves hair smoother and more radiant – even after several washes. Through the patented Trilumina Balance Technology, it expresses the translucent colour and by Microlight (EDDS) technology, it keeps hair conditions (virgin-like hair) in pristine quality, reducing hair fall with up to 40% less cuticle damage.

To launch and introduce Illumina Color Japan to Singapore, Wella Professionals also introduced its Wella Dream Team, consisting of the most creative talents across Southeast Asia and Korea with Jaron Lu, of 99 Percent Hair Studio, its creative director and owner of four salons in Singapore. 

The Dream Team will be sharing their ideas, inspiration, and creativity to unleash the full power of the Wella Professionals brand as advocates of the Wella Professionals brand. In Singapore, we will have Jaron sharing his creative expertise with hairstylists across the region, inspiring them on their journey with Wella. 

The brand also launched its repairing hair treatment, Wellaplex to accompany Illumina Color Japan. Done together in the salon, both Wellaplex and Illumina Color Japan provide the most luminous colours and help to retain hair’s natural bounce and vigour.

If you are interested to give the Wellaplex and Illumina Color Japan, you can head over to 99 Percent Hair Studio. Below are their salon details, stay tuned to Huney'Z World as I will be giving the Illumina Color Japan a whirl too...

How To Achieve Glass Skin With Problematic Skin?

Hi Huneybees,

The talk of the town these days is the K-beauty trend - Glass Skin. We are talking about achieving that perfectly smooth and intensely hydrated complexion with an all-over sheen, just like your window pane. It's a sign of healthy and youthfulness, which everyone is dying to have.

When I first saw pictures of the trend, I was thinking, "NO WAY! I have scars and acne, moreover with my eczema patch, there is no way I can achieve that look. Moreover, Singapore's sweltering hot weather will make me melt the moment I step out of the house!"

But being a beauty lover, how can I just give up that way? I tried ways and means to combine skincare with a little play-cheat makeup and I think I've got it. One thing I learned from this is that simply relying on makeup alone will not work, you need a consistent skincare routine, religiously following through with it and together with makeup, then you can show off your flawless skin. This is something that can't be achieved overnight, but patience my dears, in just days, you can see the difference!

Above is how I managed to achieve that Glass Skin look, I hope this helps you all with problematic skin troubles like me, in achieving that flawless looking skin. You can now cancel out those filter and beautifying effects on your smartphone cameras and app.

Products mentioned:

- Etude House Monster Micellar Cleansing Water - Shiseido Senka Perfect Double Wash - Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Scrub - Pixi Glow Tonic - Pixi Rose Caviar Essence - It's Skin Power 10 Formula (YE Effector, VC Effector, GF Effector) - Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Moist Eye Cream - Laneige Firming Sleeping Pack - Kanebo Evita Beauty Whip Soap - Pixi Glow Tonic To-Go Pad - Saborino Morning Mask - Ajuste Airy Touch UV Spray SPF50+ PA++++ Sunscreen - MKUP Illuminating Primer - Clio Super Sufur Kill Cover Conceal Cushion - Colourpop No Filter Concealer - The Face Shop Tone Up Cushion Trolls Edition - Maybelline Facestudio Master Contour V-Shape Duo Stick - e.l.f. Studio High Definition Undereye Setting Powder - Colourpop Crystal Liquid Highlighter (Aventurine) - NYX Makeup Setting Spray (Dewy Finish)

Remember to stay hydrated and drink more water too! 

Cheers to good skin!

Staining My Lips With The New Peripera Peri's Ink Moist

Hi Huneybees,

Nothing beats a weekend break across the border to Johor Bahru. All I can say is that Singapore is too slow when it comes to stocking up for beauty brands and products. Do you know they already have a standing 3CE store in Komtar JBCC instead of the little counters at SEPHORA?!

Tsk tsk tsk, talk about efficiency. Even their Watsons has Physicians Formula, the MediHeal x LINE Friends Ampoule Masks and even their Korea Beauty sections were up to date! That's where I managed to get the PeriPera Peri's INK set!

Coming in a super bright and chirpy yellow tin box are 5 miniatures of Peri's Ink Moist. These are updates from their previous Peri's Ink and as shown in by their packaging, the latest one is a moisture liquid tint, compared to the previous jelly tint, that might have been said to be a little too drying.

Left: Peri's Ink
Right: Peri's Ink Moist

Still coming in that for-show-only dropper bottle, the mini bottles does make it less bulky to bring around and it is still easy to apply even though the paddle applicator is shorter than the original size.

These lip stains glide on with a moist finish and stay put even after drinking and eating through the night. So your lips won't feel naked and you don't have to keep going to touch up your lips. It's like I have a lip colour for everyday and here's the swatches...

From Left:

#1 Cuddle Orange

#2 The Cutest Pink

#3 Top Red

#4 Bang Rose

#5 Soul Burgundy

Aren't they just lovely shades? See after I wipe them off with tissue, the colours are still there with #4 Bang Rose being the long-standing one.

I'll be sharing more of my day-to-day looks through my Instagram - @huney_84, so do follow and stay updated! =)
