ETUDE: Color Me Nude Lip Concealer

Yipee! Got my first Etude make up . http://www.thescubasite.com  The Color me nude lip concealer.  I have always been eyeing for this concealer. Gosh! I am becoming a make up -addict!  Everytime we go malling I always see to it to buy something for myself.  This is much cheaper to purchase direct from Etude House at any malls than ordering it on ebay or multiply sites.

Product description:  a lip concealer evens out the redness in lips, creating a smooth and neutral surface for   longlasting lipstick application

Php228


Soooo excited to try this on.   smiley emoticons

Zwitsal White Baby Lotion

I have been using this lotion for almost three years now.  As a gal with skin asthma I find it so hard to look for a product that will work on me.  My skin easily gets irritated to most lotion brands.  After trying so many  brands, finally I found my HG.  This lotion is very light on the skin.  It has a gentle pH-balanced formula that won't irritate sensitive skin.  I super love it's powdery scent.  This is also dermatologist-tested and hypo-allergenic.

PUREDERM Skin Recovery Pearl Essence Mask

I bought this product at Watsons store since I've always wanted to use a facial mask. I experienced so many firsts with this product.

laughing smileys laughing smileys laughing smileys

- 1st facial mask that I used in my entire life
- 1st time to purchased purederm product
- 1st time to experience such skin break-out!

 I have a very sensitive skin and it's too late for me to realized that this brand of mask is not intended for sensitive skin. It's been three days now and still I have this itchy feeling and hot sensation on my face.

I envy those ladies who could use facial masks with no worries at all. evil grin smileys

Lessons learned:  Don't be an impulsive buyer. Never ever use this product again.  /dignose

IMHO: L'oreal Nourishing Shampoo

I had my hair rebonded last October 14, my ever first rebond.  I am a gal blessed with a straight hair, genes from my mom ruled.

I need to be careful with the shampoo and conditioner that I will be using, I decided to buy L'oreal Nourishing Shampoo with royal jelly.  It says in the bottle for dry and dried out hair (heheeh! maybe just not the right choice / variant)


what I like:

-  CHEAP, it only costs me Php 139
-  smells great
-  made my hair really bagsak
-  tangles free

what I don't like:

-   hair becomes too oily and dull looking

So, maybe were not meant to be. hehehe!  The good thing is, my hubby loves using this L'oreal variant.

IMHO: AVON Ideal White Pressed Powder

Second on my IMHO list is Avon's Ideal White Pressed Powder.  I bought this together with the Dual powder foundation. I've been looking for a face powder that could compliment my oily skin.  I used to just have Johnson & Johnson's baby powder, but since it's the culprit why I developed to have blackheads I stopped using it on my face.  I use this powder as a final touch after applying foundation.

Same comments as with the Ideal White dual powder foundation,  the only difference maybe is it's not heavy on the face. This has SPF 15.

Another powder for my sister...  :D

IMHO: AVON Ideal White Dual Powder Foundation

This is my IMHO (in my honest opinion) corner:  first on the list is AVON Dual Powder Foundation, Almond shade.

what I like:

- SPF 21 / PA++
-  good coverage, can hide my pores and blemishes
- easily blends with my skin
- applies only once a day, before I leave the house.
- bought this less 15% from it's retail price (btw my sister is an Avon lady)

what I don't like:

- it oxidized my skin!
- feels heavy on the face
- a little bit greasy

I stopped using this foundation after hmmm...after 4-5 times I used it.  I just can't tolerate what it does to my face.  Maybe I am just too acidic and super oily skin that's why it didn't worked well on me.

Well, the good thing is my sister is compatible with this product so I gave it to her.

Palipas oras

Guess what I am doing right now?


I'm completing my wishlist...sympre included are (these are just some ha) vanity train cases, NYX lipsticks, Elf studio line brushes, lip concealer, eye shadows, e/s primer, blushes....

I'll try to buy these items one at a time...try to save some cash!

Beauty cravings

How can I stop my cravings for beauty stuffs? Or should I say...When can I buy my lemmings? =))

I am enjoying this new found hobby ah...first time kong i-entertain yung mga sales assistants sa mall.  I usually ignore them or just stop looking at their products once they come near me.

Feeling ko mas okay yung ako lang ang mamimili what I want.  In two days in a row, nasa mall kami ni hubby.  I super love my hubby coz he's so supportive in everything that I do. Labs you, baby ko ♥ /blush.

abubots that I bought: /wahaha

Cyleina soaps (Tomato, Black Pearl Supreme, Strawberry) - bought at Hortaleza
Elf Luscious Lipstick
Purederm Pearl Essence Masks
Purederm Relax Hydra Mask for Men
L'oreal  TR5 Deep Repairing Masks
Atomizer

These are not so expensive stuffs, but I will enjoy using them (huh! no break-outs please) ...still craving for more.

I'll post what's on my wishlist/s soon...bye for now!   /bye

Hair Care Stuffs

I was looking at our bathroom then realized that I have so much hair care products... I'm a girl born with straight and boring hair...yes! I used the word boring because that's how I feel about my hair. As in bagsak ang buhok ko :(

Okay fine, love your looks Chae ♥ .../hmm

Well, here are my not so expensive hair care products...




1.  Head & Shoulder's anti dandruff shampoo (cool menthol) price to follow
I love the cool menthol effect that gives me everytime I use it. Really cools & refreshes.

2.  Cream Silk (reCharge) Strength Boost Conditioner  price to follow
Works well with me, it lessen my hair fall problemBut doesn't have silky effect on my hair.

3.  Cream Silk (reShape) Standout Straight Conditioner Php99
My longtime fave conditioner.  Good for  hair frizz and tangles

4.  L'oreal Nourishing Shampoo Php139
Good for dry or dried out hair.  I used this after I had my hair rebonded.  Maybe not a right choice, gets my hair look so dull and oily.

5 L'oreal Total Repair 5 Conditioner  P59
I haven't tried this yet. I asked my sister to buy me just the small bottle for me to try it first. Looks promising. 

6.  Sunsilk Smooth & Manageable Shampoo
I had this for free, It comes along with Cream Silk Standout Straight Conditioner
Who doesn't love freebies...?  Made my hair brittle and I developed split ends.  You still need to use conditioner after using this shampoo

7.  Avon Naturals Energizing Shmpoo (for normal hair) 
My sister who is an Avon lady convinced me to try it.  I love the fruity smell but I hate the effects on my hair.  Can develop dandruffMade me purchased Head & Shoulder's shampoo.

8.  Avon Naturals Anti-Dandruff Shampoo
Again, bought this because of my sister.  Same comment w/ #7

9.  L'oreal Total Repair 5 Shampoo (12 sachets) Php54
Looks promising.  I want to give this variant a try.

L'oreal says:  Helps combat the 5 signs of damaged hair with 1 solution for hair to become STRONGER, NOURISHED, SHINIER, SMOOTHER, LESS SPLIT-ENDS.


Time to test my new L'oreal shampoo and conditioner...  /bye

Céleteque facial moisturizer

It was too greasy the 1st time I applied it on my face. My notion then was I should apply a generous amount of it to really moisturize my skin . I never like the first experience, so  I decided to stop using it for days.
emoticon Pictures, Images and Photosemoticon Pictures, Images and Photosemoticon Pictures, Images and Photos




This is just my 3rd time to use my Céleteque moisturizer, now I can bear the greasy feel . . .the secret is I just use a small amount of it. It's water based, easily absorbed by the skin...can easily dries up if you apply it infront of a fan. :D  :D


PRODUCT INFO: it has a unique hydrogel formulation that provides the skin with optimum hydration without the greasy-after feel. 

BENEFITS:
- Its triple moisturizing system contains Glycerin, Pro-vitamin B, and Aloe Vera that work deep down to provide lasting relied from skin dryness.

- Leaves you with soft, smooth, and supple skin.

IN2IT Eye Shadow Pen

original price P309.75, bought at 50% off

Another sale item from IN2IT  :) ...eye shadow duo pen.  I preferred  DED 07 / coronet shades...both are shimmery, and I like the pink shades. I could say they lasted on me, since I am wearing IN2IT's 2-way foundation and my lids are dry.  One thing I hate though  is after about 2 hours the lighter shade (base) became cakey.  But made some changes on my dull/pale face.


What made me happy is I bought it 50% off  its retail price  Not bad...:)
Product descriptions:
- waterproof and long wearing
- soft, smooth and easy to apply (w/ foam applicator inside the cap)
- contains moisturizer, Vitamin E


                                                                  
                                                                        swatches


Will I purchase another item like this again?  Yes, if it's on sale  :D

IN2IT Oil Control & Oil Free 2- way foundation

After so many days of thinking what face powder will I buy...finally, I've purchased IN2IT's Oil control & Oil free 2-way foundation .  The sales lady at IN2IT's Trinoma was so kind enough to test the product on my face. I really intend to buy just a pressed powder to pacify my oily face.

Not like the other foundations that I've used, this one is not heavy,  as if my skin can breathe.  No need to re-apply even after 4 hours malling.

I love it's pink rectangular case, simple and very girly. Comes with a square facial sponge and mirror that makes application easy. It has SPF 25 great protection from harmful UV rays.



                                    - compact, 649.75 but I got it on sale...less 10% -
                                             

my shade,  OCF 01 soft beige

Fingers crossed that I won't experience any skin breakout from this product.  I may sound cheap but spending P584.75 for a foundation is not really my thing.  But since I have super duper oily skin...closed eyes I bought this. /blush /blush /blush

Céleteque

Just purchased my Céleteque alcohol-free Toner & facial moisturizer.

The first time I used this product, kita ko agad the dirt at the cotton ball..as in yuck! Now I know that you can't just remove dirt on your face by simply using facial soap alone.

Product descriptions:
- for sensitive to dry skin
- non comedogenic
- hypo allergenic
- fragrance free


I have a combination of oily and super sensitive skin, so I preferred this toner. My skin easily reacts to fragrances.



Last night I used this, a little bit greasy on my face.  Less greasy compared to Olay moisturizer. Felt a little bit itchy too. Maybe because I'm just new with this brand.  Hoping that it work well with me. 

Product descriptions:
- with triple moisturizing system
- water based and oil free
- non comedogenic
- hypo allergenic
- fragrance free

Groovy brush

At last, my 1st  face brush! It's only P94.00. Maybe cheap ...yes, but what do I know about brushes?  I'm an Angel in training, right? hahaha I really wanted to buy brushes like Elf, Ecotools  etc. but a no-no to super expensive brushes.....so why on earth did I bought this?!  Huh! ( impulsive buyer, that's me).  The hair is  soft but a little bit scratchy.


Still hoping to have good standard brushes...save, save, save...

Skinfood: Peach Sake Pore BB Cream

Yipee! I got my first BB cream http://www.thescubasite.com http://www.thescubasite.com http://www.thescubasite.com









I admit that I am just a newbie with this kind of cream. A product of so many hours browsing the net. Thanks to GTalkers who helped me realized that skin regimens are part of being a girl.

Can't still comment on this product since it's just my second time to use it. Hopefully I won't have skin breakouts.

This is me





I've always been the kind of girl
That hid my face
So afraid to tell the world
What I've got to say
But I have this dream
Right inside of me
I'm gonna let it show, it's time
To let you know
To let you know

This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm suppose to be, now
Gonna let the light, shine on me
Now I've found, who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me

Do you know what it's like
To feel so in the dark
To dream about a life
Where you're the shining star
Even though it seems
Like it's too far away
I have to believe in myself
It's the only way

This is real, This is me
I'm exactly where I'm suppose to be, now
Gonna let the light, shine on me
Now I've found, who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me

You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you, I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you, I gotta find you

This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm suppose to be, now
Gonna let the light, shine on me
Now I've found, who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me (this is me)
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
Now I've found, who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me

Chin Cun Su

I only use this on my knees and elbows. During college days my classmate loved to wear ccs, nobody wanted to be near her...kasi maamoy face nya..hahaha! But I can say that her skin became flawless looking.

As per product description it says that it will make your skin feels smooth and tender, helps skin from getting tough and dry. Having zits maybe experienced during few days use, as per inserted leaflet it's just normal.

14th Anniversary

On our 14th year anniversary as lovers..hahaha! we dined in at China Town's Best,  located at Banawe Street, Quezon City. They serve Chinese buffet at a very affordable price. We made our reservation a day before. 




What's on their menu???  Seafoods specialties...like steamed crab, fish, noodles, pork, chicken and vegetable dishes. Though I don't much crave for their peking duck lumpia, it's sauce is a little bit sweet.  Kids will love their bottomless softdrinks and iced tea.  They also have tables for desserts  were you can make your own halo-halo... When you're already inside, don't mind if you use your hands in eating crabs as in GO!

NYX Lipsticks ♥



I just received my nys lippies…yippee!  I admit, I just bought this out of curiosity.  Many GTalkers are raving nyx lipsticks.

 They say that it’s cheap, very pigmented.  I’ve  read reviews about it and look for the swatches…Wow! So many colors to choose from…as in super dami and I love to have them all!   So, what the best thing to do???  Search for an online seller…luckily I found carefree.com. I bought 4 lipsticks (2 RLS & 2 nyx lippies)


HEATHER:  looks like a mauve with pink undertone. Super ♥ the shade

Tea rose more of a neutral pink, good for everyday wear

Thalia another neutral color

I find them so smooth once applied and don’t dry at all

Very pigmented
