Hi Shirleen,
i had tried the Prettia hair colour and find it good, its easy to use and the colour came out nicely too. can you tell me why u find it’s the worst?

Hi Sherra,
I was making a comparison with other Japanese hair dyes. I have bought different brands in Japan (including tis Prettia hair color before it was launched in Singapore).
It is the worst because the color is not rich and it looks fading. It also makes my hair stiff and dry.
Hoyu is still the best because the color is very beautiful and it makes my hair soft and silky.

Hi. Are you a beauty expert? Would you able to recommend a facial cleanser for acne skin?

Hi Connie,
I’m actually more like a skincare fanatic than an expert.
Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cleanser
Eucerin Redness Relief Soothing Cleansing
Boots Expert Anti-Blemish Cleansing Foam (buy online)
These products are fragrance-free and is safe to use for acne skin.
