Can't Get Enough of This - Just A Kiss

 

Lyin' here with you so close to me
It's hard to fight these feelings when it feels so hard to breathe
I'm caught up in this moment, caught up in your smile

I've never opened up to anyone
So hard to hold back when I'm holding you in my arms
We don't need to rush this, let's just take it slow

Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
Just a touch of the fire burning so bright
And I don't want to mess this thing up
No, I don't want to push too far

Just a shot in the dark that you just might
Be the one I've been waiting for my whole life
So baby, I'm alright with just a kiss goodnight

I know that if we give this a little time
It'll only bring us closer to the love we wanna find
It's never felt so real, no, it's never felt so right

Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
Just a touch of the fire burning so bright
No, I don't want to mess this thing up
I don't want to push too far

Just a shot in the dark that you just might
Be the one I've been waiting for my whole life
So baby, I'm alright with just a kiss goodnight

No, I don't want to say goodnight
I know it's time to leave
But you'll be in my dreams
Tonight, tonight, tonight

Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
Just a touch of the fire burning so bright
And I don't want to mess this thing up
I don't want to push too far

Just a shot in the dark that you just might
Be the one I've been waiting for my whole life
So baby, I'm alright

Oh, let's do this right with just a kiss goodnight
With a kiss goodnight, kiss goodnight

Product Review: Ever Bilena Advance Concealer

          I am almost finished with my favorite ELF All Over Cover Stick so when I went to SM Department Store yesterday, I went to Watson to check a good yet cheap concealer to try. I have horrible dark under eye circles so what I really want is a concealer with very good coverage. I checked out Ever Bilena's counter and found this product

           This concealer is priced at Php160.00 for 20ml. I read that concealers which are meant to be used for dark circles should be a shade lighter than your skin tone to brighten up the eye contour. The shade I chose was soft beige which is just the same as my skin tone and not a shade lighter. I thought about picking out the light vanilla shade which is lighter but it has a pinkish undertone so I opted to just buy the soft beige shade because it's yellow-based.

   The consistency of this prod is kinda watery, hence the light coverage. Whenever I try to blend this to my under eye, I tend to erase most of the product that I applied!  

          Could you see the difference? This product did nothing in concealing my dark circles. I also tried using this to cover my zits and still it didn't work. I tried their tester before buying but the lighting is not good enough for me to see if this product works well. I bought this because the SA sales-talked me. Ahhhhh! Blame the SA! lol.  Will I repurchase? No. I would rather go back to ELF's All Over Cover Stick. I just use this product prior to the application of my face powder since it provide UVA/UVB Protection.

Product Review: Geo Contact Lens in 3 Tone Brown

          I finally had the chance to buy another pair of contact lens from a multiply shop. I still have a pair of Flex Wear Contact Lens but since it'll gonna expire already after a month, I decided to buy a new one. It's a perfect timing for me since the multiply shop where I bought the lenses is having a sale. From Php650.00, the price was marked down to php570.00! How cheap is that? Here's the lens that I chose.

          I find the color of this baby less opaque compared to TrueColors lenses but I love how it look just right and natural on me. I also love that I didn't feel any discomfort while wearing this. I already tried using it for 12 hours straight and didn't had any problems with it at all!  For its price and comfort, I will definitely repurchase!

Product Review: Etude House Petite Darling Nail Polish


          Hello everyone! Today I am going to share with you a very good nail polish I just tried recently. That is, the Petite Darling Nail Polish from Etude House. I don't have any plan on buying this nail polish but when I saw this baby on Etude House when I purchase their Bubble Hair Coloring, I just said to myself "This petite nail polish is the cutest!" So I put it on my basket without thinking twice. It is priced at php48.00. More pricey compared to other brands of nail polishes but hey! the package is so cute not to mention it's pink! I wouldn't mind the price.. The shade I chose is like a nude pink shade. I don't know the exact name though since it is not numbered nor can I understand what the text on its bottom part means. Here's what it looks like.

Okay! I know I didn't painted my nails pretty well! I am not a manicurist anyway!  lol

Pros: 
  • Cute packaging
  • Nice color payoff
  • Doesn't chip off easily. It lasted 4 days on my nails sans top coat
  • No smell at all.
  • Dries easily
Cons
  • For its petite size, it's a bit pricey. Yeah Php48.00 for a bottle of nail polish is pricey for me :p
  • You'll never know what's the shade name of it unless you know how to read the korean texts on it
          Will I repurchase? Definitely! I love how long this nail polish stayed on my nails! I love the color and packaging as well.  Try this too! :)

Product Review: Etude House Black Head Remover Dual Sheet


photo from google


          Black Head Remover Dual Sheet is a two stage blackhead removal and care system formulated with fruit and herbal extracts:

Step 1: Black Head Remover Sheet is formulated with a fruit complex to supply Alpha Hydroxy Acids for mild skin peel exfoliation.  The remover sheet draws out pore residues for wipe off removal.  Contains Orange, Lemon and Grape extracts.

Step 2: Tightening Gel Sheet is formulated with fresh herbs to heal and soothe pores.  The gel sheet tightens and nourishes pores with cooling sensation.  Contains Rosemary, Lavender and Peppermint.



Etude House Blackhead remover sheet (Php78.00 each)



How to use it:
  • Adhere black head remover sheet  over nasal area for 15 minutes then remove *Tip: Use warm water or steamed towel to open pores prior to application
  • Use cotton swab or pad to wipe exposed sebum, blackheads, or whiteheads with downward motion
  • Adhere tightening gel sheet  over the same area. Leave on for 15 minutes then remove



          Ask me what I love about this product and I'll answer you with NOTHING. This product didn't work for me at all. I have big and open pores especially on my nasal area that's why I am having problem with blackheads. I thought this product would be great in removing blackheads but it did nothing. I can still see my (very visible) blackheads after using this. Would I buy again? No. I would rather buy the nose patch from Purederm which works better on me.

Etude House Bubble Hair Coloring


          I've been wanting to try Etude House's Bubble Hair Coloring for weeks now ever since I had read good reviews about it from various bloggers over the net. I was more convinced to try it when one of my fave Filipina beauty blogger Say Artillero recommended it to me. And since I have been sporting my jet black hair for over a long time now, I decided to color it 2 shades lighter than my normal hair color. I bought yesterday the Etude House Bubble Hair Coloring in #3 Natural Brown. A box is priced for php378.00 but I got mine for only php303.00 since Etude House is holding a sale from June 15-21. Not bad, eh?


Etude House Bubble Hair Coloring in Natural Brown

This is what's inside the box: Two hair coloring products and a treatment. The one in pink sachet is numbered as 1 while the one inside the white bottled is numbered as 2. The purple sachet is the hair treatment. (A box also contains a pair of gloves and a plastic cape)

This is what it will look like after mixing the two coloring products. Looks like mousse, right? 


How to Use:
  • Wear the protective gloves and cape
  • Combine the two coloring products
  • Slightly tilt the bottle (do not shake) until the contents are completely mixed.
  • Pump the bottle to dispense the product
  • Apply  evenly the combined hair dye on hair as if you are shampooing your hair. 
  • Leave on for a minimum of 25 minutes, or longer if you want the color to be more vibrant
  • Rinse off/
  • Apply the treatment included in the kit
  • Rinse your hair again
  • Dry and style as usual.


 Here's a photo of my hair before and after using the Bubble Hair Coloring.

See the big difference? This product is love! I would definitely recommend this to you guys! I just had my hair rebonded a month ago and I thought coloring it would just add damage to my hair. Good thing this product also contains a hair treatment which by the way smells so good and made my hair super soft!


Pros: 
  • Application is very simple and easy
  • Inexpensive compared to other brands
  • Lots of product in one box (I have long hair and this prod is more than enough to cover my hair completely)
  • Comes with a pair of gloves, a cape, and a hair treatment that conditions hair after you color it
  • Did not dried my hair at all.
Cons:
  • Instruction Manual is written in Korean.
  • Only available in 4 shades: Deep Black, Dark Brown, Natural Brown and Wine Red
How about you guys? Have you tried this product yet? Share your thoughts here! :)
