Flex Wear Contact Lens

I'm wearing Flex Wear Illusions in Slate Gray

          My 5th pair of contact lens! :) I bought it at Executive Optical for only php1100.00 and it is good for 1 year use already. Got lots of compliments for this one. I find it pretty and I think the color suits me and I love that it is 3tone, which makes it more natural looking. If you wanna try wearing colored contact lenses, I suggest you buy the brown or gray ones since it looks more natural. I've tried wearing the blue and green ones. And they said it looked OA.!lol. That's why I decided to switch to gray and brown contact lenses. I bought my pair at EO because you can try/fit their lenses to know what color suits you. I think the only brand that they are selling is the flex wear. Flex wear is comfortable to wear as long as you clean it regularly but if you're a first time user, you'll feel a little discomfort but you'll eventually get used to it after few days of using it. You can use LensFlo contact lens solution available at EO for cleaning your lenses. It is very affordable for the price of php68.00 if I'm not mistaken. I am currently using this one and a bottle of it can last up to a month or two depending on how often you clean your lenses. I am planning to try other brands after this one expires. I wanna give other brands a try. Maybe Freshlook or Geo. What's the best brand of CL for you?

Eyebrow threading

Photo from Google.

     Just got home. I Went to Bench Fix Salon to have my eyebrow threaded. I was suppose to go to Lay Bare for the threading since it has cheaper price (php100.00 only vs. php150.00 sa bench) but the waxing salon was too crowded so I decided to go to Fix. The service was ok. The procedure was done for about 15 minutes. T'was my first time to experience eyebrow threading because I usually just pluck my own eyebrow and just thought of trying eyebrow threading. I thought it's painful but I was wrong. It was kinda tickling for me!. I also want to sport a new look. I mean, I want to change the style of my hair and make it a tad shorter\ and have blunt bangs. But I dunno if it'll work for me. I'm afraid that it will just emphasize the roundness of my face. What do you think? Any suggestion as to what cut flatters round faces?

Date sa Malabon Zoo?

Haha. Em and I went to Malabon Zoo last Saturday, June 12. Celebration ng Independance Day? haha. wala lang trip lang namin mag date sa zoo! lol. Wala naman kami napala. Malabon Zoo is not as good as it was before. Plus, ang mahal na ng entrance fee! Tumatagingting na php120.00 per person na! Parang dati bente lang isa ah?! buy one take one pa hahaha!!! Sayang ang zoo. It was kinda neglected sa totoo lang... Ung water sa aquariums, hindi nadin ganun kalinis. Actually, di mo na makikilala ang mga isda... kawawa naman. Aliw lang kami sa isang monkey.. (monkey or gorilla? :D) Yung sikat na unggoy dito, si Pacquiao nakita namin. Wala lang natuwa kami kasi naka brief haha tapos with ponytail pa at slippers! At all blue siya ha?!! Funny kasi kasama siya sa tour. Hmmmm... In my own opinion, the zoo is not worth visiting anymore.in my own opinion lang ha lalo na kung ang entrance fee ganun kamahal and what you will see is like that. madumi. They should take care of the animals well. Although pinakita naman na they're taking good care of the animals' health. They are giving them vitamins but yung sanitation,poor. Dapat linisin mabuti lalo na yung aquariums. Pati yng cr parang not usable sa sobrang dumi. At oo nga pala, wala na din masyado animals. I mean, few animal species are left. Well, we should visit other zoos the next time around. I want to visit also Manila Ocean Park. I heard maganda don. Has anyone of you visited it? ok ba? :D

Ellana Minerals

I've been wanting to try MMUs ever since I read good reviews about it. I especially wanted to try Ellana Minerals which is available locally. Ellana minerals offers a wide range of MMU shades and that made me  so confused as to what shade would look better on me. Thank god Ellana is generous enough to give free samples to those who want to try their products. To get free samples from them, I filled up their information sheet and received an email telling me to pay php50.00 for the shipping fee. I also wanted to try their silk glow hiliting powder, so I asked them to include a sampler size (1 gram) of it which costs php100.00 and a non-latex sponge which costs php30.00 per pair. I received the package yesterday and immediately tried it. The samples include 2 perfect blend foundation in cafe breve (which I find too light for me) and french vanilla latte, 1 powder blush in happiness, 1 finishing powder in espresso con panna, and 1 mineral concealer in awake. I was so impressed when I put it on my face. The foundation made my skin flawless and the blush gave my skin a healthy glow . Their concealer is also good and it really hid my dark circles and lightened my eye contour. However, my skin became oily just after an hour (that really is my problem!sigh) Maybe I should try using their oil absorbing finishing powder.and make up primer as advised by Ms. Coney. Ellana Minerals is such a great MMU to try. I just dont like that it comes in powder form  just like any other MMUs. I'm having a hard time applying it, it is kinda messy... but 'll definitely purchase again. Really worth the price!

To Ellana, thank you so much for giving me free samples :)

Clap clap for SM!

I went to Caloocan City Hall yesterday to get a postal ID. Since it is still early, I decided to go to SM Fairview to uhmm, well, window shop (awwe, did i just said window shop? XD). I was wandering around the department store when I noticed that it changed a bit. I was surprised to see new stalls of various make up products. (They only offer few make up brands before;the usuals: Loreal, Maybelline,In2it, Nichido, EB, F21). SM Fairview Department Store now offers more make up brands like ELF Cosmetics, Revlon, Etude House, James Cooper, VMV Hypoallergenics and more! Among all of these brands, one brand caught my attention. That is, a make up brand named Shawill. It offers a wide range of prods. From Lipsticks to lip glosses, lipbalms, blushers, foundations, concealers, eyeshadows, and BB creams. The brand also sells make up tools all in affordable prices. But I'm not sure about the quality of the brand because it is made in China. The SA said the ingredients mainly came from uhmm, Germany? But...I dont know! Hmmm. But I still want to give this brand a try. There blushers are just so lovely, I cant resist! haha

Okay, I  said I'll just window shop but hey! Im really bad at it.

Here's what I bought

Shawill BB Cream 02: php168.00

Shawill Eyelash Curler: php49.00

Shawill Blusher: php139.00

ELF Studio Tone Corrector: php249.00

Nichido Final Powder in creamy glow: php150.00

Ever Bilena Eyebrow pencil and concealer: php75.00

I'll post review and photos for each prods later.

Thats it for now. Bye folks!

Garnier Eye Roll On

I'm a student and I've been really suffering from stress and lack of sleep lately. It really shows in my face and i hate it! I've tried many concealers just to hide it but my dark circles still appear. So i finally decided to try Garnier eye roll on since the product claims to effectively remove bags and dark circles around the eyes plus the price went down from php299.00 to php199.00

Brightening Eye Roll-On

Bags and dark circles can really darken your eye contour. Garnier Eye Roll-on is a massaging roll-on that combines caffeine and the draining effect of a massgae to reduce bags and dark circles and brighten the eye contour.

Massgae is a technique used by experts to boost natural draining and decongest tired eyes. The formula, enriched with caffeine, known for its stimulating properties on micro-circulation, brightens the skin and bossts radiance.

Proven efficacy:

• Immediate cooling effect to decongest puffy eyes.
• In 14 days, skin looks brighter and more radiant
• In 28 days, bags and dark circles are reduced.

Ingredients:

• Caffeine( known for microcirculation stimulating properties)

• Pro-vitamin B5(known for its hydrating properties)

I am using the product for about a month now and i cant still see the results yet and I don't know why! sigh! i think my money isn't worth the product. It didn't reduced my eye bags at all. I am not sure if i used the product correctly since there are no instructions given on how to use it and if how many times should I roll it under my eyes!

I should try other products. Any suggestion?
