Back from my long break, here's today I am bringing my very first E-Commerce post on my blog. Online Shopping game has gone so strong, let's say, what a very genuine escape, Online Shopping is! To a shopisticated folk, online shopping has become one of the habitual part. But the most important part is, if we could only find the right site to shop.

I am now so struck by the fashion online shopping site that I've found recently, with bunch of pretty gorgeous looking stuff there, it took me days to decide the best wishlist because it just so confusing and hard-to-pick. Not to mention with those positives reviews I have read for each stuff and the low prices! Oh I need to throw it down, definitely. I can't keep it by myself. Here's  top 8 wishlist, or I must say Top 8 Item that will fill your Daily Chic Look! All Items Under $15! You can simply click the title to go to the direct source! 

"HEAL THE OCEAN"

   

Type : ( Marsala ) on google search. You'll find an appealing tasteful hue colour of red wine.

Pantone, the leading authority on colour trends, has announced that Marsala is the hue of 2015. Source: Hellomagazine.com

This goes as: Marsala is the New Black.

I personally think that the colour Marsala will definitely rock with any colours of our skin. Dark or light, well doesn't matter. As the colour of the Marsala itself isn't a very tacky-light-unseemly-undignified, we obviously can wear Marsala colour from head to toe, as goes as Marsala is considering as the New Black, you won't think twice to wear All-black-everything from Head to Toe won't you? 

This deadly elegant colour that will make you feel calm and wild in some type of way have been seen couple of times on a Red Carpet, Magazine Photoshoot and on a Street worn by celebrity such Rihanna, Miranda Kerr, Kylie Jenner & Kendall Jenner. I even wore it to one self as my outfit for Indonesia Fashion Week 2015 which is I'll post it on my next post!

It's been a year after I posted my first DIY Ombre Hair Tutorial on January last year. Again, in this post I'm going to use Bahasa instead of English because, I intend to give this guide to my fellow Indonesian. I really enjoy the perks of sharing, whether getting or not getting the feedback. :) Sebelum membaca ini, dilihat post yang sebelumnya dibuat: DIY Ombre Hair Tutorial. Karena disini tidak dibahas cara tutorialnya secara spesifik hanya a quick how and tips. PS. Produk-produk untuk mewarnai rambut dipost ini semua dibawah IDR 90.000! 

Dibutuhkan bleaching berkali-kali bagi yang rambutnya belum 'terang' karena sebelumnya rambut aku pernah di bleaching ketika di ombre (lihat disini) dan sudah terang, menurutku saat itu. Jadi asumsi ku mungkin dengan sekali bleaching jatuhnya akan menjadi putih. Berhubung target awal aku adalah mengingini rambut warna Pastel. Yes, untuk mendapatkan rambut warna perfect pastel, harus dipastikan rambut kalian benar-benar putih (pale/gray white). Disini aku mengunakan Everline Decolor Special Bleaching dengan penetralnya 12% (untuk mendapatkan hasil yang benar-benar putih) 1pcs dari bubuk bleaching + penetralnya seharga -/+ IDR 38.000.

Setelah di bleaching, aku memberikan warna putih dari cat colour ini ke rambut, sekali lagi dengan asumsi untuk menghasilkan warna putih yang sempurna untuk rambut ombre yang sebelumnya. Disini aku menggunakan Felice Hair Colour seharga IDR 25.000. Foto dibawah adalah hasil setelah bleaching dan diwarnain dengan Felice Hair Colour White.

Terlihat kuning ya hasilnya? Dan terlihat seperti 'sule'. Ini karena rambut hitam yang tidak bisa langsung menjadi putih meski dicat putih dan bleaching sekali, pasti jatohnya untuk pertama kali itu kuning terang > orange > light orange > blonde > light blonde > white. Rambut bawahnya yang hasil ombre sebelumnya itu sudah nyaris putih sempurna, asumsi aku pada saat itu, "ini pasti nih jadinya pastel, pastel! jadi pasti!" 

Aku menggunakan Miranda Hair Colour (blue) yang /pcs nya seharga -/+ IDR 9.000! Banyak dari teman-teman aku menyangka aku menggunakan manic panic. Kenapa engga pakai Manic Panic? Sederhana, 1. Tidak permanent. Ini Miranda juga tidak permanent, tapi bisa tahan jauh lebih lama dari Manic Panic. 2. Jauh lebih hemat. *Penting: Mix Developer + Hair Colour dengan conditioner putih, benar-benar putih. Foto diatas aku salah menyangka conditioner yang aku miliki adalah berwarna putih (aku tidak mengechecknya terlebih dahulu−bodohnya) sudah terlanjur menumpahkan jadi aku lanjutkan saja. Harus dengan warna putih karena supaya warna biru dari Miranda ini bisa menjadi setahap lebih muda warnanya. 

Daaaan. Jadinya tidak pastelllll..... Agak kecewa sih ternyata bleachingnya belum cukup sekali. Tapi kalau boleh jujur hasilnya cukup memuaskan, I really liked the colour blue either it's pastel or navy or turquoise. Jatohnnya ini memang jadi Blue-greenish gitu, diatas-atasnya hijau-hijau gitu diaslinya. Ini karena antara gabungan conditioner aku yang ngga sengaja aku tumpahkan berwarna kuning itu atau karena atasan rambut aku yang kuning setelah diwarnai dengan warna putih. Foto dibawah ini lagi adalah result yang diambil setelah 2 hari kemudian. Dilihat-lihat rambut ini setelah keramas jatuhnya dia menjadi more Teal Colour (blue-greenish) / Turquoise gitu. Bisa dilihat ujung rambut aku itu putih-putih yang tandanya udah mau bercabang (rusak akibat bleaching) *Perhatian bleaching memang beresiko, bleaching memang akan membuat rambut rusak. Tapi kalau terus menerus takut, ngga akan kesampaian punya rambut idaman.

Pikiranku adalah, "..lakukan apa yang ingin kau lakukan ketika masih muda selama hal itu tidak merugikan orang lain atau merusak jasmani dan rohani mu. Sebab kau sendiri yang akan mengenang masa-masa seperti ini di usia kau tua nanti dan memiliki cerita ke anak dan cucumu "Hey dulu mama/nenek pernah memiliki rambut berwarna biru sewaktu muda!". ---pernyataan ini lebih menyenangkan daripada "Hey mama dulu sudah menikah umur 17 tahun, dan pertama kali merokok di umur 19". Duh, dont be. Berhubung tahun ini adalah my last teenager age, umur 20 yang akan gua hadapi sebentar lagi adalah bukan lagi umur teenager, biarkan aku menutupi umur teenager ini dengan memiliki warna rambut biru! I don't do drugs neither smoke nor go to any club (I'm not interested anyway, at least for now, I'm not interested to go to clubs.)" Point is... Rambut rusak akibat bleaching dapat diminimalisir dan "disembuhkan" dengan perawatan.

Essential Oil ini bermanfaat banget dipakai setelah bleaching. Cuci rambut jangan menggunakan shampoo setelah pewarnaan rambut tapi conditioner. Setelah rambut kering, pakaikan 1 botol ini ke rambut untuk menutupi bekas bleaching yang ngebikin rambut kasar. Seharga IDR 20.000/ botol kecil. 

I use L'OREAL Color Vive protecting shampoo to prolong my hair colour (Tips: tubruk tablet vitamin C lalu masukkan bubuknya ke dalam shampoo, help to increase your hair's health), Pantene Color & Perm conditioner to repair the damage of my hair colour. Pantene Hair Strength Tonic - Leave On to avoid hair fall. L'ucido Hair Vitamin Spray & Oil. -Oils good for hair: Olive Oil, Argan Oil and Esp. Coconut Oil.-

It's very cliche isn't? New year, new you. I'm not done yet making a resolution for 2015, I have made it in my head what to do lists in 2015 tho I didn't much really enjoyed with the idea of it. Because I'm sort of a mid-perfectionist and yet a sort of let-it-flow girl, this was a complex mix. I sometimes never give a damn over few things cause better it's surprises me than I expect it to be (I remember the last time I let things surprised me and I cried for it over months because it turned out terrible surprise). It happened as well when I have done a-well-made plans and wasn't worked out as it should be, I went stressing my self out for weeks. Sounds cray. But I have figured out that I wasn't including God that time and wasn't prioritizing Him in my daily life. Now I better kept my 2015 resolution for myself that only God and one self knows. Let my resolutions known when it become realities. I'm still pretty much excited for 2015, nevertheless, this goodbye of 2014 bring us to a new hello, new journey, and to a new story which may remains. But what is far remarkable to all those new thingy is, the new you. You can't be the same person through all the years, innit? What version of you that you choose to become, is it to be more intelligent or less excusing version of you, that's matter. As for me, to be honest, I'm rebel and very impatient person which explain why I always argued and fought with my Mum so many, many times. (which is not good for my health, how can you persist with anger inside you everyday?). That's it, I want the new me. I need to possess God's gentleness. ─Renewal from the inside is far more important than the improvement from the outside "New year, New you" from Nick Vujicic's podcast.

Well, that's all I can remember! How about you? Ok, don't think I'm doing this thing for nothing, Here's why: it is necessary to have that Self Appreciation Day after a year, however it is important to realising what you have been through in a year. What God has brought you through and how you consider everything that happened to you, is it as a lesson or otherwise as a failure, you need to throw it down, honey. The happy thoughts of 2014 will help you embrace a year ahead :). Happy New Year from here in front of my computer. May you keep including God more and more in your life this year, as I pray this for mine too. 

Lucy, xx
