Return of the Honey Eye Drop Experiment

So I've decided to post about this again.

I use to have a post called experiment #1 honey eye drops. There were so many comments, and I stopped doing the experiment for a while so I wasn't posting to it.. Anyways! I'm bringing it back!

So lets get down to it!
*･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･'(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)'･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*

What are honey eye drops?

Honey eye drops are just that, honey mixed with water to create eye drops

What are they used for?

Honey eye drops are used to lighten your eye color. But they are also a natural antibacterial that can be used to clean the eye. And even in ancient times honey drops have been used to help with eye infections and dryness.

How are they made?

I make mine by boiling water, then mixing the hot water with honey at a 50/50 ratio.
I then take an empty eye drop container and suck it all up.

What honey should I use?

This is a commonly asked question. From what I've gathered (from mine and others experiences with the honey method) there are a few pretty good honeys to use. You want it to be raw and organic honey. It can be clover honey, but I've also used orange blossom honey for a while. I've also seen people use manuka honey and say it works great.

How often do I put the drops in?

Personally, i try to use the drops in my eyes as much as possible. One the hour, every hour. and if i get a second i do it more than once in an  hour. So we are talking a good 15 times a day. Ive read other peoples experince doing it this way, and it gives you faster results. Some people choose to do it 3 times a day, but expect slower results.

When should i expect results?

Now the honey method is not for those who want quick results. Its also not for those who want to go from dark brown eyes to blue or green eyes. The honey method lightens your eyes extremely slowly going through all the brown stages.. and i mean VERY slowly. For instance, my eyes were dark brown. Ive been doing the honey method on and off for a little over a year now.. my eyes are a nice medium brown. My left eye is also slightly lighter than my right eye and you can see more orangey hues in it. Its very similar to bleaching your brown hair (for those of you who have done this or know what happens to brown hair when you bleach it). So the honey method is best used on brown eyes who want to go to a lighter shade of brown. The lightest ive seen someones eyes go using the honey method (and the person who inspired me to do it) when from dark brown, almost black, to a very very light brown, almost like a hazely amber color. VERY pretty, and very light. In her post she said she used the drops for a year and a half.
I hope to have hazely amber eyes, but for me it will probably take longer because i was so inconsistent at first. Consistency is the key when lightening your eyes with the drops.

Before

This is from my old blog. Before I started using honey drops

These last two are most recent in natural light and lighting from my bathroom.

Broken Heart

Today I ripped out my own heart, threw it on the ground, and watched it shatter into a million pieces..

Some modeling.

How I bleached under my bangs

So yesterday I decided to bleach under my bangs.
Before you decide to bleach any part of your hair there are a few things you need to consider.
- what shade of blonde do I want?
- am I willing to damage my hair?
- will I be able to properly care for it afterwards?
- do I know what I'm doing at all?!
Well for me. I wanted as light as my hair could go in two days. Yes, I've bleached my hair before so I know what to expect as far as damage is concerned & yes I can condition it so its not disgusting.
First things first. Deciding what you are bleaching. For me it was just a small layer under my bangs. I seperate that and pull back all the hair I don't want bleached.
Second. You mix your bleach. This can be tricky for first timers. There are lots of options depending on your hair type and color. If you have extremely dark hair. (Like mine) I recommend a 30 or 40 developer. If its your first time definitely go with the 30. I used a 40 because it works fast and I still had a little red dye in my hair. If your hair is light or medium use a 20 developer. The powders also come with different strengths and undertones. I use the blue powder.
-mix one part powder bleach with one part developer
- apply to sectioned hair.
- wrap sectioned hair in foil and apply heat.
- wait 30-40 mins. (If your hair is lighter or thin only wait 20)
- thoroughly rinse out bleach
Your hair should be yellow or orange. Depending on how dark your hair is. Mine was orange.
Now, because I'm going white.. I bleached it again.. And again.. Yes.. THREE times. And no. My hair didn't fall out. But the second and third time I did use a 20 developer. And I deep conditioned inbetween each bleaching. This is to help prevent terrible damage. I would say don't bleach more than three times.
Anyways. After the third bleaching my hair was pretty yellow, and this is when we use a toner. A toner will balance out any brassy-ness. I used WELLA COLOR CHARM T14. A.k.a Silver Lady. It is a blue based toner.
-mix one part toner with 2 parts 20 developer.
- saturate sectioned hair with it.
- wait 30-40 mins
- rinse out thoroughly.

By then.. My hair was pretty light. Not quite white, but it will be the next time I work on it. It usually takes two sessions. The first session is the hardest though. Stripping your hair!

AFTERCARE
-invest in a good conditioner. I use an argan oil hydrating mask.
- after your shower apply a little bit of the conditioner to the bleached part and just leave it. Don't rinse it out.
- use a sulfate free shampoo. This will help prevent any more drying out. Sodium laurel sulfate is a detergent that will strip your hair of natural oils
-use a purple conditioner. (A.k.a silver conditioner) this is a conditioner that will help keep your luscious silver locks well.. Silver. It has a purple base in it that also counters brassy-ness.
- leave the purple conditioner in for 5 mins. If you leave it longer will get a purple tint. ( which I actually like.. So I leave it for 15)

Fighting the brassy color is the hardest part about getting white hair. GOODLICK! And I hoped this helped.

Experiment #2. Kojic acid

So for my second experiment post I will talk about using kojic acid to lighten skin and get rid of acne scars.
This is probably one of my biggest secrets. I have never told anyone I try to lighten my skin until now. Once again, do not judge, skin lightening is done all over the world. It's just reverse tanning.
History on my skin: I have normal tan skin, I am Mexican and Irish but definitely look more Mexican. I get acne scars really easily and they appear as little dark brown spots that take weeks to go away. I've tried lemon juice on my skin before and felt it didn't work. I've used kojic soap on my face before and it definitely helped with the scars, & helped to lighten my skin. So I decided to try it again.
What I do: first, I wash my face and arms with the kojic soap. The thing about the soap is you have to let it set for 2-5 minutes for best results. And I do this twice a day; in the morning and evening. After I wash my face and arms, I apply the extra strength kojic cream I bought from WHITE LILY BEAUTY on eBay. I apply the cream to my face. Then I apply the kojic acid extra strength lotion to my arms. I do this twice a day as well. Both times after I wash my face.
My results: it was hard to find a before picture because I didn't take one, I had to find one in my pictures. I didn't plan on writing this blog but thought it might be helpful. The first picture is the after picture. It's taken in different lighting. The second picture is before with the acne scars, taken in daylight.

Drawing wood woman

I saw this idea somewhere and thought I'd try it myself.
