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
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/l/lady-antebellum-lyrics/just-a-kiss-lyrics.html ]

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

Photo from EB's website

           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. 

Ever Bilena Advance Concealer in Soft Beige

          
   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.

Etude House Petite Darling Nails in ???

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! :)

How's Everyone?

Its been a while since I last wrote. Super busy busyhan ako sa pagjojob hunt! hay kapagod... hope  everything's well and good for all of you.. i'll post agaiin next time. bubye :)

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.

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?

10 Suicide Tips ni Bob Ong

Ang Sampung Suicide Tips na ito ay hango sa libro ni Bob Ong (Ang Paboritong Libro Ni Hudas). Mungkahi nya to para sa ligtas, maginhawa at di malilimutang pamamaalam sa mundo. Hay Bob Ong nga naman!

photo from Google

1. Bago ang lahat, alamin muna ang tamang dahilan sa pagsu-suicide. Kung ang problema mo ay dahil lang naman sa wala kang pera o iniwan ka ng minamahal mo, hindi ka dapat magpatiwakal. Ang mundo ay tambak ng mga tao na pwede mong mahalin, at ang pera naman ay pwedeng kitain, kaya hindi ka dapat mawalan ng pag-asa. Ang pagkitil sa sariling buhay ay karapatan lamang ng mga taong gumagamit ng cellphone at nakikipagkwentuhan sa loob ng sinehan.

2. Kung desidido ka na gagawin mo at sa tingin mo ay meron kang tamang dahilan para gawin ito, ang susunod mong hakbang ay ang pagpili ng paraan ng pagkakamatay. Ang mga popular na paraan ay ang pagbibigti, pag inom ng lason, pagtalon sa riles ng tren, pagbaril sa ulo (o sa puso, kung wala ka nang ulo pero buhay ka pa rin), at paglaslas ng pulso. Ang mga jologs na paraan ay ang pagtalon sa mataas na gusali, pagpapasagasa sa EDSA, at pagpigil ng hininga. Tandaan na maaari ka pang mabuhay pag nagkamali ka sa pagsasagawa ng mga nabanggit, kaya pumili lamang ng isa na hiyang sayo. Bukod diyan, marami rin sa mga paraan na ito ang makalat at nakakapangit. Dyahe naman kung pagtitinginan ng mga tao yung mukha mo sa ataul tapos mukha kang dehydrated na langaw.

3. Sumulat ng suicide note. Eto ang exciting. Dito pwede mong sisihin lahat ng tao, at wala silang magagawa. Sabihin mo na hindi mo gustong tapusin ang iyong buhay, kaso lang bad trip sila lahat. Pero wag ding kalimutan humingi ng tawad sa bandang huli para mas cool pag ginawang pelikula ni Carlo J. Caparas ang buhay mo. At tandaan, importante ang suicide note para malaman ng mga tao na nagpakamatay ka nga at hindi na-murder. Sa ganitong paraan maiiwasan ng PNP ang pagkuha sa kalye ng kahit sinong tambay bilang suspect.

4. Pumili ng theme song. Banggitin ang iyong special request sa suicide note. Ipagbilin na patugtugin ito sa prusisyon ng iyong libing. Iwasan ang mga kanta ng Salbakutah. Dapat medyo mellow at meaningful tulad ng mga kanta ng Sexbomb.

5. Isulat nang maayos ang suicide note. Gumamit ng scented stationery at #1 Mongol Pencil. Lagdaan. Huwag gumamit ng sticker. Ilagay ang suicide note sa lugar na madaling makita. Idikit sa noo.

6. Planuhin ang isusuot. Isang beses ka lang mamamatay, kaya dapat memorable ang get-up. Pumili ng mga telang hindi umuurong o makati sa katawan. Magbaon ng dalawang pares pampalit pag pinagpawisan ka.

7. Kumuha ng de-kalidad na ataul. Maganda ang kulay puti dahil malamig at kumportable kahit tag-init. Huwag magtipid. Mas makakamura kung bibili na ng cable-ready, kesa magpapalit pa balang araw.

8. Pumili ng magandang pwesto sa sementeryo. Ang punto ng mga taong ipinanganak sa year of the Rat, Dragon,Rabbit, Snake, Tiger, Chicken, Pork, at Beef ay dapat nakaharap sa Fiesta Carnival. Ang mga ipinanganak sa ibang taon ay dapat i-cremate at gawing foot powder, para gumaan ang pasok ng pera.

9. Itaon ang araw ng libing sa unang dalawang linggo ng buwan, o di kaya’y sa huling dalawang linggo, para gumaan ang pasok ng pera.

10. Kung meron ka nang NBI at police clearance, affidavit of loss, voter’s ID, cedula, promissory note, original copy ng birth certificate, at urine sample, pwede mo nang isagawa ang kalugod-lugod na gawain. Siguraduhin lang na hindi ka mababalita sa tabloid, katabi ng mga article tungkol sa kabayong may tatlong ulo, at sirenang namataan sa Manila Bay. Para gumaan ang pasok ng pera.

JOIN the Official Earth Day 2010 Campaign with Service and Advocacy

Earth Day, event first observed internationally on April 22, 1970, to emphasize the necessity for the conservation of the world’s natural resources. Starting as a student-led campus movement, initially observed on March 21, Earth Day has become a major educational and media event. Environmentalists use it as an occasion to sum up current environmental problems of the planet: the pollution of air, water, and soils; the destruction of habitats; the decimation of hundreds of thousands of plant and animal species; and the depletion of non-renewable resources. The emphasis is on solutions that will slow and possibly reverse the negative effects of human activities. Such solutions include the recycling of manufactured materials, fuel and energy conservation, banning the use of harmful chemicals, halting the destruction of major habitats such as rainforests, and protecting endangered species.

Forty years after the first Earth Day, the world is in greater peril than ever. While climate change is the greatest challenge of our time, it also presents the greatest opportunity – an unprecedented opportunity to build a healthy, prosperous, clean energy economy now and for the future.

Earth Day 2010 can be a turning point to advance climate policy, energy efficiency, renewable energy and green jobs. Earth Day Network is galvanizing millions who make personal commitments to sustainability. Earth Day 2010 is a pivotal opportunity for individuals, corporations and governments to join together and create a global green economy. Join the more than one billion people in 190 countries that are taking action for Earth Day.
