5 Filipino Gay Slang Lingo Words

2012-04-04T03:05:00.002-07:00

My friend just got back from vacation and instead of talking about what happened in his trip, I ended up forcing both of them to film my next youtube video with me which is about these 5 Filipino gay slang lingo words.

Just wanna say thank you Paulo and Josh for participating in my asjdljqwoiejdoaoj video haha!.
anyways yeah the words that was mentioned are as follows:

Chaka - Ugly, Dislike, Corney etc.

Charot - just kidding, half meant etc.

Merly - lady, woman, girl

Imbyerna - Mad, annoyed, angry etc.

Bet ko siya - I like (Him/Her/It/That)

there are plenty ways to use these words and tons of variations, We didn't have 10hours to explain each and every word but the basic should be useful enough. Use these words as discreetly as possible, you might not know that somebody knows this kind of Lingo. Don't blame me if you end up getting punched in the back =))

Spring Party Night Out!

2012-03-22T00:46:00.002-07:00

My spring makeup look for 2012. I got a little out of hand with the eyeliner but I don't think it turned out THAT BAD don't you think?

What's so spring about this look? well it has a turquoise color on it but basically it's all about the eyeliner. This generation is different, and eyeliners carries your makeup look.

And btw after awhile, I got myself back together. I am truly sorry, (I say this all the time on my every posts) that I always leave my blog but I promise this year will be an explosion. I will go all out on my editing skills (videowise), youtube vidz and so much more.

Tough times in life make you a stronger person and I'm currently having the hardest days of my life which makes me become a better human being each day. (so mellodramatic! HAHAHA!! I think I just puked lol) but yeah I am serious =))

New Phone and New case

2012-03-11T03:43:00.003-07:00

I'm not really someone who likes to get into the latest cellphone trends, Having a phone that is touchscreen and has internet would be totally perfect for me but since my old phone was having some issues, me and my mom decided to switch and get an iphone.

Okay I'll be more honest, I wanted to get an iphone a long long long time ago but since it's expensive I decided not to, until now. Well my mom bought me this 4s, so thanks mum! <3

When I got my new phone, she also bought me a hard case shock proof too. When I saw the case I was like "UH NO!" I almost cried cuz the case was too bulky, It's good for safety and all that and I may act dumb sometimes but I'm not really that clumsy so I personally prefer a sticker that has some scratches or dust protection with it.

So I bought a cover online which will protect my phone from scratches or whatsoever. I read that they do have some little shock protection in case it falls, Probably not.

bought this online for $7.00+

Wood cover vinyl sticker, You can get one on eBay or Amazon or wherever.

The sticker itself has some texture to it which adds a great feel to the user.

It also came with a screen protector which I ALWAYS fail whenever trying to install it.

In the package, A screen wiper is also included.

and lastly my most dreaded item in everything that I buy is the manual. I seriously hate reading manuals haha! It makes me fall asleep =((

Took me awhile to put it on but it wasn't that hard, If I can do it, EVERYONE CAN DO IT! EVEN A NEW BORN BABY! (J/k), The screen still has some bubbles in it because I didn't follow the manual HA HA! but overall I like the look, It's more classy! 5 stars! hopefully I dont drop my phone (knock knock knock on the wood)

non sponsored post. product bought by me and mom.

I am me

2012-01-13T20:37:00.000-08:00

I have always felt that I was alone.

Why? Because I had to put myself aside and I wasn't strong.

As years went by I finally learned self acceptance.
I knew it will be a very long and hard journey, But I learned nothing in life comes easy.

For the first time I felt free.

I've never felt more alive.
I was infinite, I was happy. I was me.

then they stared.
They judged. They were unfair.

You know It didn't affect me that much.

For they cannot fathom the real me.

But the thing that had hit me the most.
is when I can't even be myself with the people I love,

Them who I trust, the ones I care about, the ones where I know home is.

Cuz they can't accept me for me.

Where do I belong?
When Will I be understood?
What should I be?

I AM ME

My Skincare routine for acne prone and sensitive skin

2012-01-04T20:56:00.000-08:00

My current skin care routine/regimen or whatever you call it for my acne prone skin.

Please check this video out for my skincare routine.

Products I currently use:

Harmony and Wellness: Diamond Orange Peel & L-Glutathione (face and body soap)

I'm currently inlove with this soap because it's all in one, I'm not too sure though if it's a good makeup remover but heck, I have a different cleanser for makeup so it doesn't matter. It's a facial and body soap so it's okay for your face too, unless you don't want using soap on your face then it's not my problem anymore. I'll do a detailed review on this later on.

Clarisonic PRO

The first few months I used this I actually broke out a little, after awhile, I tried using it again together with my Diamond Orange Peel & L-Glutathione soap and it works wonders! I noticed a significant improvement on my skin, some fine lines that I used to have are now less noticeable, It might be expensive but it's worth every fkin penny. You can check my detailed review of this product here.

skii Facial Treatment Essence

I remember breaking out whenever using this, maybe because I was using too much or idk, but I'm not blaming this toner or whatever you call it because it does make my skin dewy, it's a must use whenever my skin is drying like hell. You can check my detailed review of this product here.

skii Cellumination Essence

Another good product, I noticed that my skin look better whenever I use this at night + a good night's sleep = ready to walk the streets the next day! You can check my detailed review of this product here.

Maxipeel Exfoliant soap

Still one of my top 5. I know I'll always have this soap if ever my current skincare will ditch me because it saved me once and It let me out of my misery. You can check my detailed review of this product here.

RDL papaya toner

A good toner, it lightens some spot discoloration and moisturizes aswell, my friend recommended me to use this one and I'm glad I did! I use this sometimes when I'm in the mood. Good thing about this is that usually toners make me break out alot and this one doesn't, When I'm in the mood, I use this all over my body (THAT'S RIGHT! ALL OVER MY BODY) I have some discolorations here and there that's why I need to exert extra effort.

AHA+BHA Hada Labo tamagohada

Use this 1- 2 times at the most per week and I really like the smell and consistency of this product plus it foams up pretty well so it's easier to massage it onto my skin, although it's milder than my maxi peel soap in terms of lightening my scars but whatever I still like it. I notice that I break out whenever I use this everyday that is why I kinda lessened my use of this product.

St. Ives Apricot scrub Blemish & BlackHead control

Use this once a week at the most and it's a great product, whenever I feel like I'm breaking out, It's my emergency kit(OR I JUST LEAVE MY ACNE ALONE AND EVENTUALLY IT WILL GO AWAY. STOP STRESSING ABOUT PIMPLES TOO MUCH. THE MORE YOU STRESS, THE MORE THEY WILL MULTIPLY.) Too much scrubbing may irritate your skin so be very gentle.

Cure natural aqua peeling gel

*()&!@(^!*#^ I LOVE THIS product ugh!! when I save up I'm going to buy another one, One of the best exfoliants I've tried in my life. I use this twice a week. You can check my detailed review of this product here.

FTC: I bought this product myself. I am not getting paid or compensated for this post. I am not affiliated with this company and this is my honest opinion

What works for me might not work for you and vice versa. This video is based on my experience only. We all have different skin types, some factors that affect my skin is my lifestyle, diet and so much more.

Hot or Not? HYPE Ardent Gluta-C

2011-12-26T23:37:00.000-08:00

My third bottle of this whitening lotion. My Grandmother bought me this product and sent it to me while I was in Hawaii because I was desperately needing a whitening lotion. Well I would buy one myself if only there were "good" whitening lotions in the market but all there is are tanning, moisturizing, firming or whatever kind.

Ardent website

Would I buy again? maybe, it's on my top 3 must have lightening/whitening lotions.

Rating?

Price Paid?
about $7.50

What's hot about it?
-smell is good, I actually forgot what it smelled like, (maybe citrus-y? IDK.) but if it had an unpleasant smell then I would have took note of it.
-skin absorbs the product really fast unlike some other lotions that I have tried which left my skin greasy EEEK!
-does a GREAT job in moisturizing
-it gives my skin some sort of a glow(shine)
-when I stopped using it, my skin felt really dry, (I guess it's a really good moisturizer because I used two new lotions after it and that 2 new ones isn't able to keep up with my whitening regimen. SAD.)

What's not hot about it?
-little expensive but for a big bottle (300ml) I think it's worth it.
-takes awhile to see the lightening/whitening(?) effect. (I'm not even sure if it helped my skin brighten up maybe 1-5%) Well I have a naturally dark skin so it did a pretty good job!
-not available in the US, unless you can find one near you ofcourse or online.

I'm back and I still love tough wallet!

2011-10-06T20:27:00.000-07:00

Yes! I still love tough wallet and I just got a new one. Well not really, bought this like 3 weeks ago? but whatever.

So this is the EEL skin wallet. I actually decided to ditch my tough wallet and just try this one but ugh not really my taste so after a week I bought my second tough wallet. Eelskin is a popular leather replacement - soft and durable, it is used mainly for wallets and handbags, but can also be found as shoes and clothing.

Measurements are about 3 3/4"(9.5cm) wide x 7 1/2"(29cm) high.

6 Card slots and 1zipperpocket for coin and 3 slots for bill

My new tough wallet. Threw the box away since I was cleaning my closet. About: length 7.48"（19cm)*width 3.94"（10cm)*Height 0.79"(2cm)

The back of the wallet.

I kinda like this better than my EEL skin wallet, just my preference. I like the design and all that.

It has 4 card slots and money slot, coin slot and everything.

just a collage photo with my coworkers. I quit my job again and YES YES I am going back to the Philippines again.

July 2011 Haul: Wet and Wild and Maybelline

2011-07-21T23:58:00.000-07:00

Another drugstore haul!

If you choose wisely you can really get good cheap products from a drugstore.

I like to really take my time whenever purchasing something, money is money like hello??! If I was a billionaire I probably would just purchase any product that is an eye candy.

Maybelline Lasting Drama eyestudio Gel eyeliner $9.30+ (forgot the exact) note: I like the name "Lasting Drama" lol

I didn't really read this. I just took a photo before opening it. (hate reading instructions/manuals)

the jar is so tiny. If I was an eyeliner freak, I would totally empty this in less than a month >.<

OMG I'm inlove with the brush that It came with, It makes my eyelining skills(?) look like a PRO

So I tried it on myself, although it's not super black, I like the glitter and shimmer effect of it. PS: this is the best eyeliner that I have done to myself so far >.< special thanks to Youtube tutorials

---Now onto the next product another Maybelline..

I think this is a crayon eyeliner thing IDK? $9.30+

BAAAAAHZZZZ! another instructions.

swatch, kinda blurry but it's not the BLACKEST eyeliner of all but this is a good one.

Comparing Lasting Drama and Line Stylist...

Pretty much the same but I would say they don't come off easily even when you run it with water, unless you rub them reallyX2 hard.

--Out of curiousity I tried to compare my K-palette with Lasting Drama and Line Stylist..

The K-Palette stands out right? But I like them all equally. What I don't like about the K-Palette is that it's made for stable hands since it has a very pen like point and one more thing, the K-Palette washes off easily with water as compared from the other two.

---Wet N Wild Products

Wet n Wild 911D, Purchased for $3.00

Wet N Wild C901B, $3.00. I like the color of this one, it has a Matte finish, if you guys didn't know, I LOVE ANYTHING THAT IS MATTE

Wet N Wild CoverALL concealer stick $3.00, Lovin' this concealer. If you guys have seen my YouTube videos, you'd know that I use this all the time to cover my dark circles etc. plus it's cheap!

Swatches.

---Food for the day..

Church's Chicken Strips, bet you guys are hungry now huh. ^^

I love that sour watermelon candy, think I would buy another one soon.

Who is Mary Bich?

2011-07-10T02:46:00.000-07:00

Hello! well obviously Mary Bich is me! but if you want to know a little more about her/him then you can click read more.

So first of all he/she is a character made originally by me. Since Shane Dawson have Shanaynay, Danny Noriega has Angel Baby I decided to make my own.

I personally love makeup but it doesnt look good on me whenever I'm dressed as a "boy" Mary Bich is my you can say alter ego, and since I am into making funny videos, makeup and so on, mixing all of that equals MARY BICH yay!

Hope you guys like ^^ and maybe some more videos to come in the future ^_~

For the min time you may want to check my first official video of her/him berrrow.

I'm open to suggestions so don't be shy, BRING IT BISH!

Earphones attack!

2011-07-08T00:32:00.000-07:00

I had owned more than 7 earphones in the past year. I don't like to throw money away just like that but sometimes, you just need an alone time right?

I bought this earphone on eBay and while it may look stylish to you guys, it doesn't really fit my tiny and skinny head, plus this one is very uncomfortable to wear. I can't listen to my ipod for more than 10 minutes whenever I use this.

they say... "it's all about the look"
I say... "NOT!"

do you notice what's wrong with this picture? exclude my skinny body and my outfit please =).

So this is the earphones that I'm wearing above this photo and as you can see, the other cord is longer (WAY LONGER) than the other one. I purchased this online for about 10 bucks thinking it's going to be good ugh. I had 3 earphones that has the same style for the past year and I thought it was just a defect so what I did is I pulled the other cord thinking maybe I could adjust it.

Am I really that clumsy or are the headsets that I purchase online just keeps on breaking on me?

Okay so enough with the ranting Irvin!

Days ago, I purchased something WAAY out of my budget.

*drum rolls!
,
,
,
,
,
,

yay! skullcandy!

I purchased this for $47.99 at radioshack and when I told my mom about the price she instantly scolded me. =,(

I love how this fits perfectly in my ears, and BTW don't mind the weird shape of my ears! I'm born this way baby!

Since I live with my relatives,I can't really avoid unnecessary noises whenever I'm sleeping so when that happens, I just plug this into my ears and whoala! back to the wonderland(or nightmare?). And did I mention that I wasn't listening to anything?

This is a great earphone because of the noise reduction feature thingy plus the bass that this produces is absolute! It's like watching a movie on a theater! I don't regret buying this.
I just hope I won't be buying another one in 5 years... or more? lol.

Hot or Not? Legere Multi White BB Cream

2011-07-07T03:53:00.000-07:00

My review on L`egere/Legere multi white BB cream. BB creams are originally from Germany but is now very popular in Asia and all over the world. It was initially used by dermatologists to provide coverage and at the same time give soothing effects for patients that has just undergone a laser surgery.

Legere Multi White BB cream

Product claims

Before and after photos
me acting like a fool on the after photo! =x

Comparison
I will compare the Legere Multi White BB cream and Legere Double White 02. The reason why I'm not doing a review on the Double White 02 is because I don't really like this BB cream that much because the tint is too pale for me and I breakout after using this for some reason, I mean it's something that I would only use whenever I can't find my multi white and also my mom loves the multi white more.

Rating?

Price Paid?
$23.00

What's hot about it?
-doesn't break me out as compared to other foundations that I normally use
-I really like the smell of it (can't tell what it is though but it smells clean?)
-blends with your skin tone eventually (although in my case, it's like 2 shades lighter after like 20mins which is not bad at all because I like that ghost face effect look for some reason)
-it pretty much does everything that it claims to do, (not sure about the anti wrinkle thing though)
-affordable and one tube can last you for more than 6months unless you use BB cream everyday and every night
-leaves your face with that dewy look, unless you want that shine effect then you may want to mattify this by setting a powder after it although It's not really necessary because your skin may look a little caky? unless you're using a really good powder or a translucent one then go for it.

What's not hot about it?
-If only it is maybe 1 shade darker because I have to use a separate concealer to hide my deep post acne marks.
-actually it takes some time to blend in so if you're an impatient ___________(fill in the blanks) then try a regular foundation instead ^^

Hot or Not? SK-II facial treatment essence and cellumination essence

2011-07-04T03:05:00.000-07:00

My review on SK-II Facial treatment and Cellumination Essence. I will start with FTE then the Cellumination essence because I do have quite some specific details that I would want to share with you while using each product.

SK-II website

Facial Treatment Essence

Product claims
Skin Balancing Essence. Women everywhere are so passionate about Facial Treatment Essence that they describe it as their 'holy water.' Pitera, the seemingly magical ingredient found in all SK-II products, helps restore vital balance by promoting the skin's natural 28-day surface renewal process. This singular blend of vitamins, amino acids, minerals and organic acids produces a seemingly miraculous rebirth of skin's appearance. Over 90% pure Pitera, Facial Treatment Essence is the 'heart' of every SK-II skincare ritual. Rely on it daily to moisturize instantly, and renew skin's surface for a smoother texture. Skin absorbs the benefits almost on contact. The result is supple, smooth, radiant skin.

Application guide
Sprinkle about a teaspoon of Facial Treatment Essence into the cupped palm of your hand. Rub hands together and press gently and evenly onto face and neck. Your skin will absorb the Essence quickly and naturally.

My story and review
I am so excited to post this review seriously lol! okay enough of that side track!

After my battle with acne (I still do get some breakouts here and there but honestly comparing my face right now and before, I did have a big improvement in my opinion looking back at some photos I took when I last had a massive pimple attack) I decided it is time to find the right products for my face and I stumbled upon this skin care line from Japan which has been on the market for the longest time and I only discovered this like what? 2months ago? (maybe because I love using drugstore products before or anything more than $15 is considered VERY EXPENSIVE already)

So I read read read and watched so many reviews before deciding to purchase this FTE because with its price tag, its WAAAAY beyond my budget to tell you honestly! If I was a celebrity or I have a high paying job I would totally know that I'm secured to use this FOREVER, Sadly, I don't know my future but as long as I can afford this, I would spend my last penny buying this FTE.

So much side-tracking ugh! sorry =( I have so much to say about SK-II lol!

So before using this, I remembered my boss from the office telling me that I had sunburn! (little did she know that I just got over with my acne attack and my red uneven dry face was all scars and yes! my skin was that bad!) and I was a little hesitant to buy this because If you go to makeupally facial treatment essence review you would see that only 55% would buy this product and I also read on some blogs that it made them break out or somethin but with Cate Blanchett being the spokesperson of SK-II, I was sold, I also read on one article that she has been using this for years now. (I know I spend so much time browsing for reviews before purchasing a product)

*Smell of this product is not as bad as what I have read on other blogs and like what I said on one of my posts, I would totally use the most unpleasant smelling product in the world so as long as it works well with my skin rather than a scented one.

*Consistency is like a little thicker than water

My own way of applying this product
1.I use this after my anti acne soap every morning and night
2.Before my morning moisturizer which is the Hada Labo Super Hyalunronic Acid Moisturizing Lotion
3.Before my night time serum which is the SK-II Cellumination Essence.
4.I use quilted cotton squares with it so I basically use this as a toner or you can sprinkle some of it on your palms then pat/massage it on your face.

so without further ado here is the before and after 4weeks 1/2 photo of me using this product! take note: I was using Maxi peel exfoliant soap, AHA+BHA hada labo (once at night every 3days), Hada Labo Super Hyalunronic Acid Moisturizing Lotion(morning), SK-II Cellumination Essence (at night) and my Clarisonic with it.

SK-II Cellumination Essence

Product claims
Cellumination Essence (Hydrating Serum) hydrates and refines the surface to boost skin’s natural, healthy-looking glow and to help diminish the appearance of discoloration for a more even tone.

It conditions and refines for a skin surface with more even texture and transparency that boosts light transmission within the surface. More light transmission creates a healthy looking natural glow and makes the look of discolorations such as age spots have a less obvious contrast to natural skin colour.
It contains concentrated SK-II <Pitera®> that helps lead to improvement in overall skin appearance.
It permeates quickly into the skin and gives a light and smooth feeling when applied.

My review
The consistency of this serum is not too thick so your face abosrbs the product in less than 15 seconds, this is like the opposite of hadalabo Hyaluronic Acid in terms of consistency.

Smell is very pleasant for me.

I love this serum, if only I was dang rich I would totally stock my closet full of SK-II products, specially this one and the FTE =( but If I would have to give up one product once both container runs out It will probably be this one ( don't get me wrong! this is the best serum I have tried! It doesn't break me out, and whenever I wake up in the morning I can totally see an improvement! As you have seen in the photo above, my skin has evened out in just 4 1/2 weeks to be exact and I would give SK-II FTE and Cellumination Essence the most credit for that and also my skin care routine although I am breaking out a little just because I sleep 4am every night, eat oily foods, play online games whenever I'm off and not get too much sleep! So once again I would like to thank my current skincare products for maintaining my face =)

Rating?

Price Paid?
Facial Treatment Essence- 215ml $150
Cellumination Essence- $150

What's hot about it?
-the Facial Treatment Essence itself is enough to keep my skin moisturized
-skin tone has evened out (some scars/discolorations are diminished)
-my skin's texture is much much softer and before whenever I get pimples it's kinda hard to notice just because my face was full of scars but now, my skin is much clearer, so whenever I get a bump, I notice immediately
-My skin before was DRY believe me and it has always been that way! but now It's like I have a shine on my skin

What's not hot about it?
-We all know the price tag is
-I get huge acne breakouts sometimes but it eventually goes away, (I am not entirely sure if it's because of SK II or not but it doesn't really worry me just because the overall appearance of my skin has become better)
-I have read on some reviews that your skin gets too dependent on FTE product, so if you stop using it, you will breakout (I will keep you updated on this but as for now i would purchase FTE as long as I can)

****update July 22, 2011
I kinda lessened the use of skii since IDk I was breakin out or somethin? or maybe it's just me again =) but all is good! still use it like once or twice a week or when I feel that my skin needs a good moisturizing.

For my current skin care routine click HERE.

FTC: I bought the Facial Treatment Essence with my own money and my mom gave me the Cellumination essence as a birthday gift. I am not getting paid or compensated for this post. I am not affiliated with this company and this is my honest opinion.

-natural looking as compared to other lenses that I have tried
-the thinnest lenses I ever had, hands down! (It has the lightest weight of all)
-shipping was fast(4days in total from the day of purchase)! well I chose the fastest shipping available which is the fedex (because I am ~~impatient~~ excited!)

What's not hot about it?
-I would say the color is just a TID BIT off, sometimes, in some lighting, it makes my eyes look like bluish for some reason

June 2011 Haul - Drugstore, eBay, ETC.

2011-06-26T04:37:00.000-07:00

Yes! Final haul of june 2011! These are the random products that I purchased online, eBay, drugstore and wherever the wind dragged me.

Rimmel Natural Bronzer
$5.79
Sorry guys no swatch on this one. I do like this bronzer, and again, it is my first bronzer ever, The design is so attractive that is why I bought this product lol. It has a very little glitter/shimmer to it which I don't mind at all, If you want a swatch just ask ^^.

Essence of Beauty Conceal and Foundation Duo
$12
A++ for the price tag and A++ for the quality. I NEEDED a foundation brush since my mom took my stippling brush from Sephora =( but it's okay, the bristles are so soft and dense comparable if not a little less to other branded names foundation brush out there that I have tried, although If MAC brushes were the same price as this one, I would get MAC ofcourse.

ShortSexyhair
$16
This is my favorite hair wax of all time hands down(my second tube btw). The consistency is thick and when you try to rub it on your palms it creates a web-like shape for some reason which doesn't really bother me at all because I like the finish look that this creates. Not too shiny, it is manageable and buildable so it's a perfect hair product to tame those unruly hair!. It also gives enough control, although if you are going for a super duper spiky or curly waves, you won't want to use this.

Kanebo Kracie Fuwarie straightening mist
$17
I do like this product because it acts as a hair protectant and also gives your hair a sleek straight finish (if you have a flat iron ofcourse or if you have naturally straight hair). I tried this on my mom and omg, the result is phenomenal lol! I wish my hair wasn't wavy but oh well gotta love my dry and wavy hair!

K-Palette eyeliner 1day tatoo
$17
My first pen-like liquid eyeliner. If you're a pro on eyelining and stuff then this one is for you, but for me who has a very shaky hands, it's really hard to use it, maybe because it's my first time using something really good! but overall I like this eyeliner, it doesn't come off easily when you smudge it but if you wash it, it washes away quickly.

Fake Eyelashes
99c
I know what you're thinking. Lemme guess, Why the **** do I need false eyelashes? the answer to that is I DONT KNOW! but I bought this for 99c on eBay so it's a deal alrighty!

Fashion Lashes
$4
I bought this one at a local drugstore just because I thought it was cute plus my mom wants some natural looking eyelashes so here! says 100% human hair but I don't really know since I haven't opened it yet. (update: I tried it on lol and it looks too natural to me lol)

Legere White Multi BB cream
$23
I will do a review on this later on so no swatches for now, this is my second tube btw and I do love this bb cream, haven't tried the Skin79 yet or Missha maybe in the future.

Revlon Color stay soft and smooth nude lipstick 350
$6
and yes another nude pale lipstick! I like this product just cause it's less shimmery than my Sephora nude lipstick and much paler too! Although I don't really know if it's long lasting or not since I haven't used it that much yet.

Eyebrow blade
$1
I have never tried to get an eyebrow wax or thread, I'd rather use my shaver to clean my eyebrows and I stumbled on this one on eBay, and for the price, I gave it a GO! although the blade is not as sharp as I thought it would be, it's decent. (update:the blade is sharp and I actually cut myself ugh)

Claire's earrings set
$12.50
I bought this set because of that cute turquoise color earring (middle - top). I am an earring freak, I love to collect earrings but I always end up losing or breaking them =(

Rohto arctic eye drops
$5.50
I love this eye drops omg, it makes my eyes brighter and less red, only thing I don't like is, it's like dropping a menthol in your eyes but actually got used to it and this is the best eyedrops I have ever tried by far. Maybe I'll make a single post about this product later.... maybe.

June 2011 Haul - MAC

2011-06-26T01:35:00.000-07:00

It was my first time shopping at MAC and it was funny cause there were just probably 3 sales person working at that time or I'm not sure if that's how it's supposed to be but I had to wait because the one helping me, had kept me waiting plus this other customer who is very impatient raises her eyebrows on me, I was like wtf? not my fault that I came there first. Oh well, atleast I bought what I was craving for. Also the lady made my look too unnaturaly caky, I didn't like the way she did my foundation at all.

Studio Fix Fluid Foundation
$26.50
I like this foundation just because it's closer to my skin color (how I wish bb my bb cream had a certain color too) what I don't like about this is the smell, smells like hospital IDK. Well I'm not here to review the product but that is just my initial thought of the product. Compared to my bb cream, this tends to look too caky if you over apply it I guess.

Foundation Pump
$6
I bought this just for my foundation so erking! how I wish that foundation just came with this pump so I won't have to buy it seperately but whatevers.

Gesso white eyeshadow
$14.50
I had been wanting this eyeshadow for the longest time ever just because I have read tons and tons of good reviews about this.

Carbon black eyeshadow
$14.50
I really like this eyeshadow it's matte,blackest of all the blackest eyeshadows I owned.

Mac brush cleanser
$12
My mom bought me this brush cleanser. I think it is very important to regularly cleanse your makeup brushes to avoid the spreading of bacteria or whatever. Beside it is a spray bottle that I bought from walmart for $2 (I don't remember the exact price) My mom and I was actually going to get the mac empty bottle for this cleanser but good thing I passed and just went to walmart to get something much cheaper.

June 2011 Haul - Sephora

2011-06-25T23:33:00.000-07:00

I don't really go to Sephora often but I outdid myself this time just because I wanted to treat myself, since June is my birthday month so I went to Sephora shop twice this month and I probably won't be seeing that store in months (I'll try lol) I need to save money, If anything, I should be spending stuff on food not on cosmetics but whatever lol.

Amazing Cosmetics (Golden Dark)
around $28
uh I actually wanted to return this product just because I didn't really find it Amazing, or maybe it's just me? IDK. The lady gave me a shade way darker than my skin but oh well, I hate returning products just because I'm lazy and I don't want to waste time to go all the way to the mall just to return this, I'll finish this concealer and a little goes a long way for this one, like 5 dots is enough to cover your entire face.

Makeup forever HD powder
$15
I love this powder, It's actually my first powder and I'm glad I purchased this. It's very translucent and it does a great job in setting your foundation and removing that glimmer or shine that your foundation does. It doesn't make your face look "CAKY" too and I love that, I tried going to MAC and this lady was putting so much stuff on my face that my skin looked like you can plant a vegetable in it already, I want makeup to look as natural as possible for everyday look.

Sephora Angles eyeliner brush
$14
don't have much to say about this other than it's really tiny and it's perfect for eyelining and stuff, IDK.

sorry bout that huge pimple in the middle of my nose, so erks lol

Sephora Maniac Lipstick 17
$12
I love love love nude pale lipsticks that gives you a matte finish, sadly this one sort of has a shine to it but nonetheless I still like it.

Clarisonic sensitive replacement brush head (2pcs)
$40
YES $40!! omg, even I couldn't believe that I was paying that much for this replacement brush for my Clarisonic but whatever, next time I would prolly buy from eBay, it's way cheaper there ugh.

Too Faced Flatbuki Brush
$12.50
omygosh I love this kabuki brush! it has a very dense bristle, and it's so soft perfect for setting your foundation.

Sephora perfecting eye primer
$14
my first eye primer, don't really have anything to say about it other than putting on primer is really important if you use eyeshadows often because it will make your eyeshadow last longer and get a better finish.

SAMPLES

I love this conditioner and shampoo, I tried it once, and omg I think I will buy one of these next time

June 2011 Haul - SKII & Hada Labo

2011-06-25T21:04:00.000-07:00

This will be my first haul blog post and I will start it off with SKII and Hada Labo. This is not a review since I just bought all of these recently so you might want to wait for a month or two for a detailed review but on the brighter side, I will share you my initial thoughts of these products for now.

SK II Facial Treatment Essence 215ml
I bought this online for around $150,
yes $150! dang! I should learn how to save money ugh! but whatever I like this product so far although I am kinda breaking out a little, I don't know whether it's this or maybe it's all the products mixing up together on my face but I'm liking this product so far and I actually use this as a toner and I had been using it for 3 weeks now, as of this post. It does a great job in moisturizing my skin and my overall skin texture has really blossomed lol, give me 1 more month to see if this product will continue to do wonders on my skin. Would I repurchase you ask? we'll see in a month. (omg this is turning into a review already)

SK II cellumination essence
My mom bought this for me as a birthday present for $150.
I don't know what to say, I mean I like this serum so far and your skin absorbs the liquid really quick. I use this as my night cream although I've read on some blogs that you're supposed to pat this on your face before your moisturizer, thing is, I know my skin pretty well and I know that I easily break out if I put too much stuff on my skin.

I will need more time for me to review this product and since the price tag is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, I maybe won't repurchase this serum but like I said, I might change my mind if this product will continue to do wonders on my skin.

Thing is, there are tons of cheaper stuff that are available on the market that can probably match this serum but to tell you honestly, If I was dang rich, I would totally fill my closet with SK II products lol. (anyways thanks mom for buying me this serum, <3 u)

Hada Labo AHA+BHA Cleansing Foam
I bought this online for $15.
Err, okay I am again going to be blunt! I prefer my Maxi peel exfoliant soap over this just because I feel like this is more gentle on my skin (don't get me wrong, gentle cleansing foams are great specially if you have an aggravated skin) but like I said, this post is only my initial thought of the product, THIS IS NOT A REVIEW, you'll have to wait for 1 more month before I post my review about it, and would I repurchase? answer is, IDK yet, but I do like this cleansing foam so far and I'm putting it into my skin care routine to see if it will work with my other facial stuff.

ROHTO HadaLabo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Acid Lotion 170ml
Bought this for $24 online
this moisturizer is too sticky so you better watch the amount of lotion that you will be putting on your skin or else you'll be patting this product on your face for one entire day since the consistency of it is so thick. I'm not sure if I would repurchase this, well I'll try to keep using it and give you guys updates later. (note: this is not a review it is a haul post okay? so I want to give all of these products some time to see its effectiveness)

Snack for the day
priceless
LOL! my auntie made me this sandwich with tuna, egg, vegetables in it and side of potato chips while doing this blog post so I might as well take a picture of it and make you guys starve!

narration:
Auntie: Here bich, $10 for the sandwich!
ME: thanks auntie <3!
Auntie: Is it delicious bich?
Me: Yes auntie!
Auntie: Shut up!
Me: o.O

Hot or Not? Laneige Pore Deep Clearing Foam

2011-06-24T22:33:00.000-07:00

My review on Laneige Pore Deep Clearing Foam. I was once using Laneige products sometime last year 2010. Of all the products that I have tried from their line, this is the only product that I didn't like, err aside from the water sleeping pack. ( I'm going to be blunt this time lol, well as always)

Laneige website

Product claims:

A mild foaming cleanser with a dense lather to purity pores and inhibit sebum secretion.

- Works into both micro bubbles that cleanses deep inside pores and larger bubbles that cleanses the surface. Leaves your skin clean and oil-free.

- Morocco Clay (Ghassoul) works as micro scrubbing beads that purify skin and Clove extracts control sebum secretion to leave your pores clean.

- Contains mild plant-based cleansing ingredients for gentle cleansing.

- Pore Purifying Complex removes toxins and impurities that are around your pores and strengthens your defense system against pore-related troubles.

My story:

So much for my welcome post for Laneige products lol. (BTW I love Laneige ok? if this worked for you then I'm happy for you! If not then atleast I know I'm not the only one who dislikes this product lol)

Okay, this foaming cleanser has a very thick consistency and the smell is similar to Laneige multi cleanser ( which I adore btw ) It has like a citrus-y smell IDK, but I don't really like the smell for some reason, it has a stronger smell than the Laneige multi cleanser. (SMELL SMELL SMELL)

I bought this product as a replacement of my empty Laneige multi cleanser some time last year. Honestly, this is like the total opposite of the multi cleanser, This didn't work for me, it broke me out but It's not as horrible as some other products that I have tried that totally ruined my ruined face.( sorry no pictures! unless you guys want me to use it again and undergo that acne stage once more! lol)

I only used about 2/5 of it and I had to stop because in my opinion, it's not as effective as the other one. Repurchasing? no. If I would buy something from Laneige again, It would be the multi cleanser, I really really love that product.

Rating?

Price Paid?

$23.00

What's hot about it?

-has a very thick consistency

What's not hot about it?

-didn't work for me

-broke me out a little bit

-not as effective as the multi cleanser (Laneige)

-expensive ( I would say it's worth every penny if it worked for me but sadly it didn't)

-have to go online to purchase it and wait and wait and wait since it ship is shipped all the way from Korea

FTC: I bought this product myself. I am not getting paid or compensated for this post. I am not affiliated with this company and this is my honest opinion

Note: What works for me might not work for you and vice versa. This entry is based on my experience only. We all have different skin types some factors that affects my skin is my lifestyle, diet and so much more. My skin is normal to dry.
