#Celestrys Water Shine Covered BB

This is a continuation of my previous post on Skin Booster 水光针.

As i signed a package, for 3 Skin Booster and 3 Covered BB Treatments.

After 2 weeks and full healing from my skin booster treatment, I'm back again for my Covered BB Treatment at Lee Na Young!

When I saw this picture on their facebook timeline, I knew I have to try it to believe it!

What can Covered BB do?
1. Glow, Radiant & Poreless Looking Skin after 1-2 sessions
2. Skin Brightening & Skin Whitening
3. Lightens pigmentation
4. Skin tone is more even

Whole Procedure at Lee Na Young

My consultant examined my face and made sure my skin is fully healed before the treatment starts.
To start off, I had top up an IPL Treatment. This IPL Treatment is to get your skin ready for Covered BB (not compulsory, but recommended) Each IPL Treatment depends on your skin condition on that day itself.

I have alot of little pimples on my forehead, cheeks and chin. Thus, I got the IPL Treatment customized specially to target pimples, acne etc. If my skin is more obedient the next session, I can opt for other IPL treatments such as whitening, hydration etc.

Make up is removed, skin is cleansed and extraction is done prior to IPL treatment.

After the IPL Treatment, here comes the Covered BB Treatment.

Covered BB Treatment makes use of MTS (Micro Needle Therapy System) which gives that immediate skin brightening and whitening effect. It's a micro needle derma roller with KFDA approved, and 100% natural ingredients is used in the skin colour ampoules.

This is the set that is used on me.

Micro needles?? Is it painful?

I can say pain level is 1/10. Not really painful, but it's a little uncomfortable at the first go.

No numbing cream is needed or applied for this.

It felt like a vibrating tool all over my face. It's bearable. Always think #nopainnogain

The skin colour ampoule is applied all over the face. Using the MTS to go over the whole face repeatedly to make sure all of them gets "injected" into the skin.

After around 20 minutes of application and the use of the derma roller.
The rest of the colour ampoule is left on the surface on your skin and a hydration mask is used to finish it off.

My verdict & noticeable differences
1. Skin tone is definitely brighten right after treatment
2. Pores are much smaller and almost non-existent!
4. Skin looks more radiant, even & fairer.

Pictures all not edited in any way, I specifically stand at the same spot to take the before and after picture to really see the difference. So there is no lighting differences.

If you can see, the right picture (after), my skin is brighten and my skin tone looks fairer!
You be the judge!

It's not a drastic big change, but hey. This is not plastic surgery, and there is no miracle treatment in this world. With every following treatment I go, I believe my skin will be better!

Still a swollen little ex-pimples on my forehead due to the extraction, but i'm loving how I look!

*No makeup, no edits!

And I can still see my glow from previous dewy skin booster treatment!

I'll be back once I have more follow-up pictures! Tata for now!

I haven't got my hair bleached before, and I so bored of my old boring brown hair that turns into ahlian brown after 3 months.
I decided it's time to get bleached and try something new!

J&J Hair Identity is a new salon located at Katong Square (right beside 112)

The mall is not packed with people, a small mall that is more peaceful and quiet for a day at the salon.

My hair is really fine and very little. I didn't dare to bleach my hair before was because I am so afraid that my hair will be fried crispy and I have to chop them off.

The unique point which makes J&J stand out is that all the products they use is called Natulique and it's the only complete certified organic professional in the hair beauty line industry.

J&J is the only distributor, and only salon in Singapore that uses Natulique.

Organic? Why should the product being organic or not bother me?

Well, you know the times when you apply hair dye on your head.. and your scalp turns itchy and pricky and oh-so-uncomfortable that you want to wash it off?! It's mainly because it contains so too much chemicals and the PH level is much higher for us.

Normal PH Level is 4-5? Such hair dyes are at PH Level 9-10.

Why are you putting your tresses into distress by using such harmful products? Then spend another lump sum on hair treatments?

Natulique is 100% PPD Free, 100% Ammonia Free, 100% Resorcinol Free, 100% Parabens Free, 100% Lauryl Sulfate Free.

Natulique is ECOCERT certified, whom is an organization who are committed to environmental protection serving the world since 1991. With that, J&J is committed to bring only the best & yet care for their customer's health and hair by using only the premium and organic hair products.

Using all natural ingredients only, it has 73 different natural hair colors. The hair colors are designed to give a gentle hair colour with extra conditioning. The special formula includes pure natural sunflower seed extract, jojoba oil and apricot seed oil.

I was served by the Lead Designer, Jac. He sat with me and asked me if I have any colour in mind, any pictures of inspiration I had.. Jac was very patient with me as I was very indecisive, and couldn't decide between blue-grey ash, or brown ash.

And after a long while.. I chose platinum ash brown with ombre and balayage style. I wanted a really ashy brown so I had to undergo the bleaching process.

Started off with getting my roots dyed first to the same colour...

No itchiness, no pricky feeling..

While waiting, I got to look thru their brochures reading up more information on the products they used. And I came across this!! Omg look at the pretty unicorn colours!!
These are coming in real soon in November! Not sure if I have the guts to try them. I really love the Douce Lychee, such a sweet pink colour!

And it's down to bleaching time. This is my first round of bleaching. Jac did the balayage + ombre style a mixure of both for me. Can see the smooth transition on the bleached from my normal hair.

What I got after the first wash. And it's not bright enough yet to achieve the colour I wanted. So bleach round 2! I looked like a lion at this point cause of how orangey/yellow the colour is.

After 3 rounds of bleaching, it's time to apply the colour!

Spending 5.5hrs in a salon is the longestttt I've ever been. Now I understand how people can even spend 7-8 hours in a salon to get the perfect hair. #nopainnogain #sittillbacksidepain

Due to the lighting, we could not capture the really ashy platinum colour that was achieved.
Really love the transition from dark to light colour.

Jac and his team of stylist follow the same formula when serving every customer.

Identity = (T)extura + (O)riginality + (P)ersonality

J&J's T.O.P Identity formula aims to bring out customer's identity, individuality and uniqueness.

1. Textura, a latin word for texture
J&J will analyze your hair texture beforehand to determine the suitable outcome for you.

Everyone has different texture and type of hair (thick, thin, bleached, damaged, dry and etc). Different types of hair have different suitable solutions (colour, perm, rebonding, treatments).

2. Originality

Considering customer's original face features (oval, long, square, round etc) to create the suitable hair-dos and outcome that can either bring out your best features, or to hide various features. For eg: if you have a long face, they can recommend you to have bangs to shorten your face for a fresher look.

3. Personality

J&J brings out customer's personality by understanding each individual's preferences, professions, lifestyle and etc.

They aim provide long-lasting hairstyle that is easy to maintain and manage at home.

Thanks Jac and his team spending 5.5 hours on my hair and totally starving by the time I was done.
Appreciate it! Can't wait for my next treatment session!

----------------------------------------------New Update----------------------------------------------

Due to some personal work reasons... I decided to pay Jac a visit to change a new colour.
The bleach did it's magic and my hair was lighten and still in very good & silky smooth condition.

The curls above are done myself, thus so messy..

Because JJ Hair Identity only uses organic hair products, I feel safe and I have trust in Jac & his team that my hair won't be damaged even if I colour my hair again.
