Reasons Why You Should Not Use Pantene Pro-V

   
        I've recently switched my shampoos/conditioner from Pantene Pro-V to a salon brand shampoo. I'm still searching for the right one, but I currently use Nexxus Pro-mend shampoo ( not conditioner ). It works okay, but not great. The reason I stopped using Pantene Pro-V immediately is because it started making my hair very dry and for some odd reasons tangly and very hard to manage WHILE IN THE SHOWER -where water is ever present-. I have damaged and very processed hair from bleaching and coloring, and instead of helping my hair get better, Pantene Pro-V made it even more damaged. I have very thin hair too, so when my hair started falling out by the handfuls, it was very heart wrenching. I didn't know why my hair started being waxy and dry. I've been using Pantene Pro-V for years now and have always relied on it because it had made my hair soft, and it is very affordable. I searched online and read about what is making my hair waxy. 

Nexxus Pro mend
   
        One ingredient. Panthenol. My hair was waxy and dry because of the panthenol build-up over the years from usage of Pantene Pro-V. Panthenol is the key ingredient in Pantene. That is how your hair is soft when using Pantene, but only for a while. The chemical doesn't make your hair healthy. It acts like wax. It covers your hair and gives it a *false* softness.
   
       Unfortunately, panthenol is found in most drugstore brand shampoos. I recommend trying a salon brand one or keep searching for an affordable shampoo without panthenol. I am very tempted to use Japanese brand shampoos such as Tsubaki recommended by Ekimura from YouTube. Maybe Asian shampoos will work better for my Asian hair. Logic huh.

Rant over. Now I will go back to playing Black Ops and shoot some zombies~! Laters :3

Pre-Animefest

         Animefest is a anime convention in Dallas, Texas on August 29th. I will be going this year dressed as Alois Trancy from the anime show, Kuroshitsuji ( Black Butler ). 

This Dude.
He is such a teaser. Haha. I still love him though. 
I will be accompanied by two friends, and they will be also cosplaying characters from the same anime, so it will be a group cosplay. One will be Grell Sutcliff, and one will be Ciel Phantomhive. Unfortunately, I don't have my butler, Claude. Ciel does though...sort of. xD 

 This body pillow right here. 
Mai Kwon ( who is the Ciel ), will be carrying that pillow around the convention. Hahaha. That will be so hilarious. The pillow was a present from her and my other friend, Nontan ( the Grell ). They got it at a local anime store around Dallas - Anime Pop. I think they also have a website. 

For my Alois cosplay, I will be writing out a separate blog post on what I wore and where I got them. (Mostly from online stores/ Ebay). Along with that, I also will post about the makeup I wore for Alois, which is an original makeup look BTW. Of course all that will be in September. As of now, there is San-Japan (in San Antonio), to worry about. It is another convention that I am looking forward to in the next two weeks. I won't be cosplaying there, but I will be attending the masquerade that will be hosted.  
Stay tune for more reviews and updates!

EOS Dolly Eye Grey (old video)

EOS Dolly Eye Grey Review
This is a very old video review I made.
I will post up another one sometimes later since I bought a second pair. ^^
These. Are. Vibrant. Holy Hell.
I LOVE THEM. I always come back to them for cosplays and such.
I've used these for my Nezumi ( No.6 ) cosplay. 





GEO Super Nudy Green Review

Here is my GEO Super Nudy Green review. (Old)

I got them from Byzantine-collection.com 
They were very enlarging and comfortable. I loved these.
Too bad I had to throw them out because they were about 7 months old, but they do last up to a year. I just don't like to keep any lenses over 8 months.  I will definitely purchase another pair.
