Liese Blaune Creamy Foam Color in Brown Review

My good friend @paofection raved using Liese Blaune Creamy Foam Color in Brown. Seeing the result on her hair, I just can't help but to follow suit!

I have been dyeing my hair now for more than three years and this is the first time for me to dye with Liese Hair Dye. I have used Palty hair foam dyes but I have to say that dyeing with Liese is a very enjoyable experience. I particularly chose Liese Blaune Creamy Foam Color because this type is great for gray hair coverage as it claims. I also got the brown shade and I really love it!

AFTER DYEING.
Liese Blaune Creamy Foam Color in Brown completely covered my grey hair.
It also covered the old hair color, making it even-toned. 

What I like:
  • Application is very easy and very enjoyable! It's just like shampooing your hair.
  • It totally covered my gray hair.
  • It has no ammonia smell.
  • My hair was very soft after dyeing.
  • The included treatment can be used until two applications if you have short hair.

What I don't like:
  • It has a tendency to wash out if you frequently shampoo your hair. Better to use a shampoo with no sulfates!

Will I repurchase?

Definitely! I think I might also try the non-blaune counter part even if it's not really recommended for gray hair. I read that it also provides good coverage. So let's see how it works on my gray hair next time.

Have you tried Liese Blaune Creamy Foam Color, too?

The Face Shop White Jewel Peeling Review

I was using a popular apricot facial scrub for many years and, although, it gives a very clean feel, my face would become dry and become more oily. I just made the break just recently because I couldn't find any alternative exfoliants. Or I wasn't that open to other exfoliants. I'm scared that it would make my face sensitive or it would aggravate my acne or develop unwanted hyper-pigmentation.

I've tried those exfoliating astringents before and it's not really recommended to use them for a long time because they peel off your skin in generous amounts. Over time, your skin can become really sensitive and develop hyper-pigmentation, especially if exposed under the sun.

What I need is just a gentle physical exfoliant to slough off my dead skin cells and have that clean, clear glowing skin.That popular apricot facial scrub has become too harsh and abrasive and it doesn't really help if you have live, protruding acne. My skin would also feel tight and dry after usage and would instigate dry, patchy skin.

Thank God, I came across this detailed review about peeling gels and exfoliants from Lab Muffin. I had few fears and misconceptions about peelings gels, such as it peels off your skin and makes it more sensitive. But I was wrong, thanks to that review.

Like in the review, I got to try Tony Moly Floria Brightening Peeling Gel but I didn't really quite like it. Yes, it is really has more water content and you may dispense quite a lot of product for it to clump on your skin.

I enjoyed the The Face Shop White Jewel Peeling better. I don't have to dispense a lot for the gommage-cleaning-action to happen.

So let tell you about The Face Shop White Jewel Peeling Gel.

This is an affordable gommage-type of exfoliant. It cost around Php 300-400 for 150 ml. It lasted around eight (8) months on me.

The Face Shop White Jewel Peeling Gel 

It doesn't have a box. It is just wrapped with clear plastic. You can read right through the ingredients list. On first time use, you need to unscrew the cap to peel of the protective sticker of the product. You're rest assured that the peeling gel you're going to buy is unused.

Seal under the cap guarantees you for a fresh product!

The peeling gel looks like a translucent glue. Yes, it has a gel texture and it pills when you rub on dry skin. It is recommended to use this after you wash your face and make sure that your face is dry. Otherwise, the gommage action will not work.

Those little filaments can pill more as you scrub!

What I like:
  • It is affordable.
  • It doesn't sting on me.
  • It relieves my skin of those dry patches and doesn't aggravate dryness.

What I don't like:
  • Nothing really! It does smell alcohol-y but it's tolerable. Do not expect that it totally can get rid of your whiteheads and blackhead. This will help lessen them in the process and help your skin shed off those dead skin gently.

Will I repurchase?
I'm open to other peeling gels from other brands. I wouldn't mind going back to this because it is affordable and it gets the job done.

Consider The Face Shop White Jewel Peeling, or peeling gels for that matter, as a physical exfoliant rather than using those abrasive facial scrubs. You just need to slough off those dead, excess skin cells and not rub your skin dry, right?

Have you tried peeling gels? From what brand do you like?
