Face Routine (-_-)

2009-12-17T13:57:00.000-08:00

I am Filipina and I do not have that milky white skin every girl wants but I'm pretty satisfied with my brown complexion. We call it "morena". This entry will be short review on facial products.

I have combination-dry skin and I only get break-outs once in awhile. Lucky huh? :) For those who doesn't know what their skin type is and doesn't have time or money to see a dermatologist, you can use loreal's site to see what type of skin you have. (http://www.lorealparisusa.com) But I am not saying that only Loreal's site gives advices you can also check other sites if you want.

I have used Olay before. I have used the facial wash and moisturizer with the 7 something for the face, and I'm really not happy with it. It made my face so dry :( Maybe the product just doesn't suit me.

I have also tried using POnds but the same with Olay, im super not satisfied. Makes my face dry.

My current product is the Loreal Derma Genesis Line but I have used Loreal Pure Zone line before,but changed it to derma genesis when I realized my face have different needs now.

I'll give a short review on the products I am currently using.
The Facial Moisturizer has spf 15 which protects skin from the sun and helps reduce wrinkles, same with it's facial wash. These 2 works perfectly fine for me.

The eye cream is really effective, it minimized puffiness and dark circles under my eyes. I have used it for I think a month now and I can already see results. For those of you, who like me works late at night or sleeps late which results to dark and puffy under eye, this product is best for you.

For my toner, I am using the white perfect facial toner. I hate whitening products to be honest, cause I don't want to have uneven skintone, like a white face and brown skin? That is just so off right? So I've asked a beauty expert what this white perfect toner is about and I was told that it's really not a whitening product but what it does is it evens out your facial skin tone and not make it white. So I am trying it now and I could say so far I am satisfied with it's effect :)

So far I am loving Loreal face products. I am not saying that if you guys use this it will have the same result as mine, but there's no harm in trying :)

Why am I a beginner in fashion?

2009-12-15T14:50:00.000-08:00

A question I think i need to answer. I'm not a beginner because I was a fashion victim before nor because I do not know what fashion is. I'm a beginner because I just started exploring new things. I love clothes but I used to just stick to plain jeans and shirt, i like makeups but I used to just put on blush on and lipstick. I loooooove shoes but I used to only stick to flats. I love nail polish but I used to just stick to neutral colors. I love going out, but i used to just go to the malls.

I love fashion, but I was scared to experiment. I was scared to try new things. But now that I'm 25, yeah i know i'm too late but who cares (hahaha), I realized it's okay to experiment, it's okay to explore new things.

So I decided to open a blog, this one will be about anything i tried from makeup to clothes to exploring a world outside mine. I'm still new at these things but I hope this blog will also help those who just started exploring new things in fashion like me :)

hugs and kisses,
