Nokia Lumia: Illuminating your hi-tech lifestyle

2013-02-20T22:44:00.003-08:00

I've always been a fan of Nokia. When I first got a cell phone (still in elementary), I was lucky enough to get a Nokia 3310. It was so sturdy that it was able to withstand six years with clumsy me. But gone are the days of monochrome displays. It's all about touch and Internet connection now.

That is why I am so excited that Nokia Lumia 820 and 620 are coming to the Philippines. I'm a sucker for camera phones so Nokia Lumia 620's autofocus 5MP camera will fit into my foodie and fashion lifestyle. And the candy colors! So nice.

Of course the best part is the Live Tiles and Windows Phone 8. Uber cool eh?

With the stylish phones out there, Nokia Lumia is definitely a must-have accessory for the modern fashionista.

stay cool and trendy,

Spot Corrector for sun-loving girls

2012-03-18T17:41:00.001-07:00

When I was a teenager, I used to spend a lot of time in the sun, doing sports and other outdoor activities. Back then, I had no idea how important it is to apply SPF. Now that I’ve grown up, I have to pay for those days with dark spots and uneven skin tone.

Good thing there have been a lot of beauty products in the market that promise to lighten skin tone and remove dark spots.

I tried Luminaze Catalytic Skin Tone Illuminator and Dark Spot Corrector (you can visit their website at http://www.luminaze.com/) since I learned that they use natural ingredients.

The product comes in a dual pump system. To apply it, pump the Active Luminaze Enzyme LIP in the first container and spread evenly on skin. This active ingredient breaks down melanin in the skin and thus lightening dark spots. Then, pump the Bio Activator in the second container and spread evenly on skin, right after applying the Active Luminaze Enzyme LIP.

After a month, I noticed that my dark spots had started to vanish, leaving a blemish-free skin. It also leaves skin feeling soft and hydrated, especially right after use. It doesn't feel greasy or heavy like the other creams in the market.

It’s safe and non-comedogenic, making it the perfect product for women who have sensitive skin, like me. Plus, it’s fragrance-free too. I just love fragrance-free beauty products – from foundation (I use mineral powder) and concealers, to deodorants and hand sanitizers.

Clinique's Even Better Moisturizer (SPF 20)

2011-10-12T21:02:00.000-07:00

A couple of months ago, another relative from the US visited us and I was able to get a hold of a couple of beauty products, one of which is Clinique's Even Better moisturizer.

I've been looking for a really soothing moisturizer and I think I finally found it. I have oily skin but after every wash it feels real dry so the Even Better moisturizer really helps hydrate the skin.

I've been reading some of the reviews online and I read complaints that it's greasy, smells like sunscreen and breaks down makeup. While I must admit it really does nothing to keep my skin from being oily, it didn't seem that much of a problem for me. I read another review that might also help others:

When I started using this product, initially I found it very greasy. The Clinique SA had promised me its oil-free. So I was really disappointed. I called her up and discussed my problem. She pointed out that I must be using too much of the product. This may be the reason for the oiliness. Ahhh…and she was absolutely correct. When I reduced the quantity I applied no more oiliness. In fact my skin felt smooth and soft.

Anyway, I still love how it lightly hydrates my skin - and the fact that it's SPF20. And I did notice that it does help a little to correct skin discolorations (I see it in my pictures :)

Some info on the product from Clinique:

Imagine if you could virtually erase discolorations and dark spots to create more even skin tone gently, visibly, measurably, while protecting skin from future darkening with high-performance defense, UVA plus UVB. Within 4-6 weeks, this daily moisturizing cream creates a more even, corrected skin tone. Strengthens skin’s resistance to darkening with barrier repair. Instantly hydrates, brightens, clarifies. Apply A.M. For faster results, use with Even Better Skin Tone Corrector.

Top 10 Pinay wardrobe essentials

2011-07-27T18:03:00.000-07:00

Still looking for the perfect LBD? Buying a new pair of sexy jeans? Want to revamp your closet? Hold your shopping checklist as we give you the top ten Pinay wardrobe essentials.

We at StreetSmartCharm loved the show Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style so we’ve modified his top ten wardrobe must-haves and made our clothes selection more appropriate to the Philippine weather so every Filipina fashionista will have the most comfortable yet stylish everyday outfit. Here are our top picks:

1. Basic black dress – Often called the “Little Black Dress,” this wardrobe essential is on number one for many reasons. It’s a classic - it never goes out of style, it can be paired with different tops (such as the chiffon flowy sando), it’s versatile - can be worn at work or at a party, and it’s great for those you-simply-can’t-decide-what-to-wear occasions. When buying an item, just remember to fit the dress. Have the patience to hop from one store to another until you see the one that flatters your figure. I like seeing ones that hug the hip and thighs perfectly, those that hit just 3-5 inches above the knees. Choose the dress with a durable, comfortable material that’s good to wear all year round.

2. Dress pants – Black is always a good choice as it flatters all figures and matches with any blouse you opt to pair it with.A good dress pants also falls right past the ankles but not too much that it covers your feet and goes under it when you walk.

3. Classic white shirt – A classic white shirt can be a plain shirt, a collared one, or a formal top.Choose styles that exude femininity and avoid those that look like it came out from a menswear collection. Look for those with ruffles in front if you want to make your chest look bigger. If you have broad shoulders and want to hide them, buy those with short collars.

4. Jeans –You may have a pair of jeans but do they make you look sexy orshabby? When buying jeans, make sure to fit them first. Walk, crouch, sit, and stand around to ensure they fit you well. Avoid those pairs that shows your butt crack when you’re sitting or picking something on the floor.Choosing dark washed ones doesn’t just save you money, it’ll also give you a sexier back.

5. Any occasion top –This top should be anything but plain or ordinary so it can be worn in semi-formal dinners or a night party. Search for tops that’ll make you look fabulous but still respectable.

6. Skirt –When choosing skirts, consult others’ opinion on whether it looks good on you or not. A skirt’s goodness lies on its style, form (the way it hugs your body, and length).

7. Day dress –Find not only nice prints but also a good form that follows your curves and goes on the right places.

8. Jacket – A proper, fitted jacket following the silhouette of a woman’s body and emphasize the waist is a good jacket. I love those blazers with puffed or raised sleeves, as it gives oomph to any look, whether you put it on a dress or with a pair of jeans.If you travel frequently outside the country, add trench coat to your jacket collection.

9. Sweatsuit alternative – Tim Gunn advises not to wear sweatsuits as your casual clothes to avoid looking like a slob. Good sweatsuit alternatives include khakis, cords, or a cotton dress.

10. Summer tops and bottoms –We’re replacing trench coats with summer tops and bottoms because it can still be hot and humid here in the Philippines even after summer. For tops, good pieces include wide breezy tops and sleeveless tops, which can be racer back sandos or halter tops (whatever flatters your top body). For bottoms, we love denim shorts and culottes.

These ten items are classic, practical pieces that will help build the foundation of your wardrobe, allowing you to construct a great outfit as you go on adding more stylish items. A good pair of jeans, for example, when paired with a trendy or another classic item, will make a good fashion statement. With these essentials, you can mix and match your clothes to make the perfect outfit for any occasion and situation.When choosing a piece, just ensure that it fits you properly and that it highlights your best asset. Remember to accessorize to pull off your whole outfit.

Cheers to a new set of wardrobe pieces!

What's the right hairstyle for my face shape?

2011-07-01T03:28:00.000-07:00

Everyone hates those bad hair days when our head looks like a newly-builty bird's nest or a dead plant. What could be worse right? Well, having a bad hair day everyday.

Like clothes, there a a hundred cuts that look good - on the magazine. But there are several which will probably suit you.

Instead of tackling hairstyles for each face shape, we'll help you remedy problem areas instead.

Prominent cheeks and jaw - for girls with round, diamond, square and heart-shaped faces, the main problem is the tendency to look plump because of the larger cheek or jaw area. To remedy that, just do what Charice Pempengco does. She covers it up with her long hair. Choose a layered hairstyle with wispy, tapered ends (that fall in the right places, unlike Charice's old haircut which left her jaw exposed).

If you have short hair, make sure that it is fuller at the crown and has less volume near the cheeks. This will even out the proportion. See pic below: Kelly Clarkson, yes; Kelly Osbourne, probably not (unless you're a celebrity and can rock any hairstyle).

Large forehead - Having a large forehead is usually the problem of people with triangular faces. Pop star Rihanna would be the best example. The basic rule is to cover it up so that people would focus more on your beautiful face than on your forehead. Rihanna has learned how to do that through time.

Square jawline - the problem with having a square face is that it tends to give off a masculine feel. You can counter this by having soft layers to your hair. Check out Salma Hayek's hairstyles.

Long face - oval-face-shaped women can get away with everything. They are the ones who can flaunt even the shortest of hairstyles and still look good. However, some oval-faced people (especially the thin ones) have long faces. Some of the best hairstyles to have are curls, shoulder-length and even a bob. You can also add bangs to cut the length of the face. One Hollywood celebrity you can look up is Julia Roberts.

flaunt your beautiful hair!

What type of concealer suits you?

2011-06-28T00:32:00.000-07:00

We’ve already written about how to remedy and avoid those dark under eyes and eye bags, while you’re working on that, we want to share how to find the best kind of concealer for an instant fix.

Concealer 101: Concealers are color corrector make-up used to cover up pimples, dark spots and even scars on the skin, especially the face.

There are different types of concealer available in the market. While there are brands that work like magic, some are only appropriate for certain skin types or specific parts of the face.

Water-based concealers are best for people with oily skin and those who tend to have acne breakouts (since its alternative oil-based make up usually clogs the pores). But if you have dry skin, it might be best to use oil-based concealers to keep the face moist and supple. Oil-based make up also has thicker coverage and will last longer.

Powder concealers are popular right now, especially with the trending of mineral make up. You can use it over or under your foundation and according to its avid fans, it actually has good coverage, but not for very dark blemishes. It leaves you with that natural look.

Another popular type is the cream concealer. These usually come in the form of a pot or stick (like a lipstick). These are thick and heavier and provide full coverage. However, some brands are hard to blend because of their consistency and would usually stand out. These are often used for under eye dark circles. You may also encounter tube concealers which can be classified as both liquid and cream concealer (not as light as liquid but not as heavy as cream).

Liquid concealer is applied like liquid eyeliner using a wand (like the one used for liquid lip tint or gloss). It has good consistency and coverage but works better with dry skin. Then there’s the pen concealer which comes in the form of a pencil or a highlighting pen. These are perfect to cover fine lines, small skin imperfections and lip lines.

So there's the low-down on the different kinds of concealer. Hope you find the right pick. :)

keep you skin blemish free,

Touch up those roots! Review: HBC’s Hair Color Touch-ups (P100+)

2011-06-24T05:48:00.000-07:00

Coloring your hair can be fun and for some, it’s a necessity. However, maintenance can be expensive. My mom, for example has to have her hair colored at the salon every month or so and have the roots retouched every three weeks.

Luckily, I found a quick fix and alternative to dying her roots. This stopped her from fretting everytime she has that important meeting and she doesn’t want her gray roots sticking out.

I was browsing products at one of HBC’s stores and I discovered their exclusive and affordable Hair Color Touch-Ups. It’s a temporary fix (washes off) but at least her retouches are quicker and didn’t involve real hair color (yep, she mixes a portion of hair dye everytime she covers up those roots).

It costs P100+ but I bought a tube of medium brown Touch-Ups during a sale so it was around ninety pesos only. It works like a mascara (looks exactly like one and perhaps has similar ingredients) and smells like the usual salon chemicals. However, when you apply it, the smell doesn’t stick to your hair and it lasts the whole day.

This is a must for all you hair color lovers out there!

P.S. I’m not sure if there are other brands offering the same product here in the Philippines. Do you know any? I did check online shops and they cost three or more times than the Hortaleza Professional brand.

P.P.S. I’ve read once in a magazine that you can actually use a mascara for those emergency touch-ups.

P.P.P.S. I’ve been meaning to write an article about HBC. Their products are one of the best affordable alternatives out there! I’ll do more reviews of their products soon. J By the way, this review was not commissioned or paid for (just like all our other reviews of local brands).

Other colors:

stay young and worry-free,

We’ve already featured the scenic ukayan center in Olivarez Plaza, Tagaytay. Now I’ll be showing you one of the biggest ukay places I have been to. King Bhats Ukay-Ukay (don’t let the name fool you) at PureGold Imus is the SM Department Store of hand-me-downs.

As you can see in the pictures, you’ve got hundreds of pieces to choose from. My Tita, a lover of designer goods, has the owner’s number and is always texted when there are new arrivals. On those days, the place is filled with people (imagine SM on a sale) and everyone has big baskets of clothes.

Looking for a particular style of dress? I’m sure you’ll be able to find them. The shoes are good as new and you can easily get lost in all kinds of the clothes they have.

The place looks and smells clean (air-conditioned) too.

During my last visit, I was able to buy a twice-worn eyelet dress, a checkered blouse (with tag) and a pair of ergonomic rubber shoes. All for only P600.
