This is a professional hair bleaching setup from the brand Quetee, consisting of a 6% (20 Volume) Color Developer and a Keratin Complex Bleaching Powder.

When mixing and using these products, following correct professional ratios and application steps is essential to achieve an even lift while protecting the hair structure.

1. The Standard Mixing Ratio

The most common and effective mixing ratio for this combination is 1:2 (one part bleaching powder to two parts developer).

  • Example: 30g of Bleaching Powder + 60g (or ml) of 6% Developer.

  • Texture Goal: You want a smooth, creamy, yogurt-like consistency. If it’s too thick, it will dry out on the hair and stop lifting; if it’s too runny, it can bleed onto untreated areas.

2. Why Use a 6% (20 Vol) Developer?

A 6% developer is highly versatile and generally safer for the hair than higher volumes (like 30 or 40 Vol).

  • It opens the hair cuticle gently, making it ideal for lifting hair by 1 to 2 levels, covering stubborn grays, or doing a controlled, slower lift on pre-lightened or fragile hair.

  • The addition of Keratin Complex in both products helps minimize protein loss during the chemical process, maintaining better hair elasticity.

3. Step-by-Step Application Guide

Preparation

  • Safety First: Always wear protective gloves. Use a non-metallic bowl (plastic or glass) and a plastic tint brush. Metal can react chemically with the bleach.

  • Sectioning: Divide dry, unwashed hair into four clean quadrants to ensure quick and even application.

Application Strategy

  • For Virgin Hair (Full Head): Start applying 1 inch away from the scalp, working through the mid-lengths and ends first. The heat from the scalp makes the roots process much faster. Once the lengths have started to lift, go back and apply to the roots.

  • For Root Touch-ups: Apply strictly to the new growth, avoiding overlapping onto previously bleached hair to prevent breakage.

Timing & Monitoring

  • Check Regularly: Check a strand every 10 minutes to monitor the lift level and hair elasticity.

  • Processing Time: Leave it on for 20 to 45 minutes depending on the starting hair level and desired result. Never exceed 50 minutes.

Rinsing & Aftercare

  • Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until the product is completely washed out.

  • Shampoo with a pH-balancing or post-color shampoo, and follow up with a deep conditioning treatment or a protein mask to seal the cuticle.

This is a classic skin-bleaching and brightening combination from Soft Touch (Golden Girl Cosmetics), featuring the Oxidizing Emulsion Vol-20 and the Whitening Powder.

Because this kit is explicitly formulated for facial and skin use (“Rediscover Fresh & Fair Look”), mixing it correctly is vital to get the desired brightness without causing redness or chemical irritation.

1. The Recommended Mixing Ratio

For safe facial and body use, the standard rule of thumb is a 1:2 or 1:3 ratio, favoring the emulsion to keep the mixture mild.

  • Standard Face Formula: 1 teaspoon of Whitening Powder + 2 to 3 teaspoons of Vol-20 Oxidizing Emulsion.

  • Consistency: Mix thoroughly in a clean, plastic or glass bowl until it forms a completely smooth paste. Ensure there are no un-dissolved powder granules left, as concentrated powder spots can cause localized skin irritation.

⚠️ Pro-Tip for Sensitive Skin: If you or your client have sensitive skin, reduce the powder slightly and add a few drops of Soft Touch Soothing Lotion or Skin Shiner into the mix to buffer the reaction.

2. Step-by-Step Application Guide

Step 1: The Patch Test (Crucial)

Before applying it to the face, mix a tiny amount and apply it behind the ear or on the inner arm. Leave it for 10–15 minutes. If there is intense burning, severe redness, or itching, do not proceed with the full application.

Step 2: Preparation

  • Wash the face with a mild cleanser and pat it completely dry.

  • Avoid scrubbing or exfoliating right before bleaching, as this leaves the skin micro-vulnerable to stinging.

  • Tie back hair and protect the hairline/eyebrows by applying a thin layer of petroleum jelly (Vaseline) over them so they don’t accidentally bleach blonde.

Step 3: Application

  • Using a soft plastic brush, apply the mixture evenly over the face and neck.

  • Avoid the highly sensitive zones: Keep it strictly away from the eyes, eyelids, nostrils, and lips.

  • Apply last to areas where the skin is thinnest (like the upper lip) as they process faster.

Step 4: Timing

  • Face: Leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes maximum.

  • Body (Arms/Legs): The skin is tougher here, so it can be left for 15 to 20 minutes.

  • If at any point the skin feels like it is intensely burning rather than just a mild tingle, rinse it off immediately with cold water.

Step 5: Removal & Aftercare

  • Gently scrape off the bulk of the cream using a blunt spatula or a damp sponge, then rinse thoroughly with cool or lukewarm water.

  • Do not wash with soap immediately after.

  • Post-Bleach Care: Apply a generous amount of soothing lotion or a cooling aloe vera gel to calm down any temporary flush. Avoid stepping directly out into the sun or applying heavy makeup for at least a few hours.

Here is a breakdown of the product details shown on the packaging, along with a guide on how to get the best results with them.

Product Specifications (From IMG_8329.jpg)

  • Skin Type: Specifically formulated for Sensitive skin.

  • Quantity: Contains 20 Strips (packaged as 10 double-sided strips).

  • Claims: Promises “up to 8 weeks of smooth skin” and features a flexible strip designed to hug body curves.

  • Testing: Dermatologically tested.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Use Cold Wax Strips

Cold wax strips are incredibly convenient because they require no heating appliances or messy spatulas. Just follow the “Rub, Peel, & Go” method outlined on the box:

1. Prep the Skin

  • Ensure the skin is completely clean, dry, and free of oils, lotions, or sweat.

  • Pro-tip: Dust a tiny amount of baby powder or cornstarch onto the area before waxing. This absorbs excess moisture and ensures the wax grips the hair, not your skin.

2. Activate the Wax

  • Take a double-sided strip and rub it briskly between your palms for about 10 to 15 seconds. The friction creates gentle heat, warming up the wax so it becomes pliable and sticky.

3. Peel Apart

  • Slowly peel the two strips apart using the easy-grip tabs. You now have two usable strips. Set one aside face-up while you use the first one.

4. Apply & Smooth

  • Place the strip onto the target area.

  • Smooth it down firmly in the direction of hair growth a few times to ensure the wax firmly adheres to the hairs.

5. The Pull (Crucial for minimizing pain)

  • Hold your skin taut with one hand right below the strip. This prevents the skin from pulling upward and reduces bruising.

  • With your other hand, grip the tab and pull the strip back swiftly in one quick motion, against the direction of hair growth.

  • Note: Pull the strip back parallel and close to the skin, rather than pulling it straight up into the air (which causes pain and snaps the hairs instead of pulling them from the root).

6. Clean Up

  • Never wash wax residue off with water—cold wax is oil-soluble. Use a post-wax wipe (if included) or a cotton pad soaked in baby oil, coconut oil, or olive oil to easily dissolve any leftover stickiness.

Important Safety Tips

  • Avoid Double-Waxing: Do not wax the exact same patch of skin more than once in a single session, as this can cause skin lifting or irritation.

  • Sun & Heat Warning: Avoid hot showers, swimming, sunbathing, or applying deodorants/perfumes to the waxed area for at least 24 hours after use to let the hair follicles close safely.

This image, IMG_8320.jpg, features an all-in-one makeup palette. It is a highly versatile option for travel or quick touch-ups because it combines products for the eyes, face, and lips into a single book-style compact with a built-in mirror.

Here is a full breakdown of the layout and sections contained in the palette shown in IMG_8320.jpg:

1. The Right Side: Eyeshadow Palette

The right panel is completely dedicated to eye makeup and includes 18 circular pans arranged in a grid, along with a dual-ended sponge applicator.

  • Top Row (Glitter/Texture): Features multi-dimensional pressed glitters and shimmers, including white/silver, yellow-gold, bronze-gold, and a vibrant red.

  • Middle Rows (Mattes & Satins): Offers a mix of warm transition shades, including soft pinks, corals, terracotta browns, and deep plums.

  • Bottom Rows (Deepeners & Neutrals): Contains rich shimmery bronzes, deep browns, golds, and muted earth tones perfect for creating depth or a smokey eye.

2. The Left Side: Face & Lip Kit

The left panel houses the larger pans designed for complexion enhancement and lip color.

  • Highlighter: A large, circular pan on the left with a beautifully embossed rose pattern, providing a soft champagne-gold shimmer to illuminate the high points of the face.

  • Blush: A matching large, circular pan on the right featuring a matte coral/peach tone to add a natural flush to the cheeks.

  • Eyebrow/Contour Powders: Two oval pans—a lighter, cool-toned brown (ideal for filling in eyebrows or light contouring) and a dark charcoal gray/black (perfect for defining brows or using as a powder eyeliner).

  • Lip Colors: A row of 4 rectangular glosses/creams at the very bottom, transitioning from bright poppy red to deeper brick reds and berry tones.

How to Maximize This Palette

  • Day-to-Night Transition: Use the matte corals and browns on the right side for a clean office look, then press the chunky gold glitter on the center of the eyelid and apply the deep red lip cream to instantly glam it up for evening plans.

  • Multi-Use Hacks: The coral blush can double as a gorgeous crease-transition shadow, and the deep brown eyebrow powder works wonderfully to smudge out the lower lash line.

This image, IMG_8312.jpg, shows a 6-shade blush palette from the brand PhálleBeauty Cosmetics. The palette features a selection of rich, highly pigmented, matte powders designed to suit a variety of skin tones, housed in a pink gradient packaging complete with an internal mirror.

Here is a breakdown of the specific shades visible in IMG_8312.jpg:

The Shade Breakdown

The palette is organized into two rows of three square pans, each featuring its shade name printed right beneath it:

Top Row

  • DAMSEL: A vibrant, cool-toned berry pink. It’s excellent for adding a fresh, youthful pop of color to the cheeks.

  • CHEEK: A muted, dusty rose or mauve shade. This is a highly versatile, neutral everyday color that pairs perfectly with minimal makeup looks.

  • SWEET: A warm, energetic terracotta or burnt orange shade. It works beautifully to give a sun-kissed warmth to warm and olive skin tones.

Bottom Row

  • AROMATIC: A deeper plum or wine shade with cool undertones. This serves well as a dramatic blush or a draping shade for medium-to-deep complexions.

  • TEMPER: A rich, warm chocolate brown or deep bronze. It can function as a warm blush for deep skin tones or even a warm contour/bronzer for lighter complexions.

  • MATURE: A deep, intense brick red or burgundy. Because it is highly concentrated, a very light hand will deliver a stunning, flushed-from-within look on deeper complexions.

Tips for Applying Highly Pigmented Blush

Because these shades are deep and matte, they can easily go from “subtle flush” to “overdone” if applied too heavily. Try these techniques for a flawless blend:

  • Tap the Excess: Always swirl your blush brush lightly into the pan, then tap the handle on your wrist to shake off any excess powder before it touches your face.

  • The “Back-to-Front” Method: Start applying the brush at the high points of your cheekbones (near the hairline) and sweep it forward toward the apples of your cheeks. This ensures the highest concentration of pigment lands on the outer edges of the face, making it much easier to blend out.

  • Fixing Mistakes: If you accidentally apply too much, don’t panic. Take a clean powder brush or the sponge you used for your foundation/liquid base and gently press it over the blush to diffuse and tone down the color.

Color Story & Finishes

The palette focuses heavily on a warm neutral and earthy color palette, making it incredibly practical for everyday wear as well as glamorous evening looks.

  • The Shimmers/Metallics: You can spot brilliant gold, bright champagne silver, shimmering bronze, and a frosted mauve/pink (bottom left corner). These are perfect for adding light to the center of the eyelid or the inner corners of the eyes.

  • The Mattes: The color story includes soft beige transition tones, warm terracotta oranges, mustard yellows, clay browns, and deep chocolate browns. These give you all the necessary tones to build structure, depth, and a seamless blend in the crease.

Tips for Applying This Palette

  • Preventing Fallout: Shimmer and metallic formulas can sometimes drop tiny particles onto your cheeks. To avoid ruining your base makeup, apply your eye look before doing your foundation, or pat the shimmers onto the eyelid using a damp makeup brush or simply your ring finger for maximum color payoff.

  • Building Dimension: Start with a matte shade close to your skin tone all over the lid. Use a fluffy brush to sweep a medium warm brown or terracotta shade into the crease as your transition. Finally, pack a deep brown on the outer “V” of the eye to ground the look, finishing with a pop of gold or silver shimmer right in the middle of the lid.

Breakdown of Finishes and Textures

Looking closely at the layout in IMG_8284.jpg, you can see a variety of formulations designed to create highly dynamic eye looks:

  • Mattes (The Base & Transition Shades): Scattered throughout the palette are smooth matte powders used to sculpt and shade. Notable shades include a soft tan beige (top left), bright tangerines and neon oranges, rich chocolate browns, barbie pinks, deep fuchsias, and a matte mustard yellow near the bottom.

  • Shimmers & Satins (The Soft Sheen): These shades offer a classic metallic reflection without chunky particles. You can spot a silvery-white shade (bottom row), warm bronzes, coppers, and deep cranberry shimmers.

  • Pressed Glitters & Foiled Metallics (The Drama): For high-impact sparkle, the palette features textured glitters. Standout pans include a striking magenta/hot pink glitter (middle left and lower right), a multi-tonal lime-gold glitter mix (fourth row down, left), a chunkier yellow-gold glitter, and a textured rose-gold/mauve foil.

Makeup Tips for This Palette

  • Working with Neon Oranges & Pinks: Highly vibrant matte shades like the ones featured here can sometimes experience a bit of a sheer application if swept on with a fluffy brush. For maximum color impact, pat the shadow onto the eyelid using a flat, dense packing brush over a light concealer base.

  • Applying the Pressed Glitters: To avoid fallout across your cheeks, apply the multi-tonal glitters (like the magenta or lime-gold shades) using your fingertip or a silicone applicator. Gently press them onto the center of the lid as a finishing touch. If you want them to stay locked in place all day, use a tiny dab of glitter glue underneath.
