Aloe Vera: A Multi-product with Multiple Benefits!

I just realized that I am quite a fan of multi-products or products that contains ingredients that have multiple benefits. Am I just repeating myself? XD Well, to name a few, we have sunflower oil, argan oil, olive oil, and aloe vera.

I remember when I was younger, the women in my family put aloe vera on their hair. I also remember that my Omma bought some aloe vera juice to prevent asthma attacks for my brother and to boost the immune system. I don't really like it because it was slimy and just yucky altogether.

Aloe Vera is quite the rave recently because of its numerous benefits. It's not only for the hair but also for the skin! Here are some of the benefits:

• Prevents Signs Of Aging
• Moisturizes Skin
• Reduces Acne And Helps Lighten Blemishes
• Helps With Sunburns And Reduces Tan
• Heals External Wounds And Insect Bites
• Reduces Stretch Marks
• Promotes Hair Growth
• Reduces Dandruff
• Maintains pH Balance Of The Scalp
• Conditions Hair

Recently, I have (or need to have) products that has aloe vera as the major component. My legs dried out as the Sahara maybe because of the abnormal sleeping time and diet DX.  So, I need to moisturize it really big time without having to suffer with oily-ness or with the sticky, muggy feel. I also got a shampoo fortified with aloe vera to prevent too much hair fall. And I got a moisturizer for my face! Hopefully, I can share my findings on some, or not on all, of them. XD

Facial Moisturizers Are For Oily-Skin Girls, Too!

If you have oily skin, you may think that wearing moisturizers would be such a hassle. You may think that your skin may be more oily; you can't wear moisturizers under your makeup because it may just slide; the feeling will be muggy, especially during hot and humid days. In the Philippines, there more hot and humid days rather than cool days. And there are more enough reasons for girls with oily skin NOT to wear moisturizers.

Well, I thought so too.

Until recently, I stumbled on articles and even blogs that even if you have oily skin, you should wear moisturizers. As early as 20 years old, the proteins that keep our skin elastic, supple and moisturized may lose gradually. Diet, hormones, season and weather changes may be the contributing factors. So looking for the right moisturizer for your skin type is a must to keep our skin healthy.

Moisturizers are not only for the ones that have dry skin.  I found that there are also that are formulated for oily skin girls.  Gel or water-based one work well for oily skin girls and on those hot, humid days!

Here are some moisturizers fit for oily skin.
Images taken from Google

If you read my previous blog, I tried one with a cream-type moisturizer. It has spf and quite light for a cream-type. It can work with oily skin but with caution. If you put too much, it may cause your skin to be more oily. Maybe, if your skin is on the dry to combination side or not too oily like me, it may just work for you!

As for me, I really haven't found my Holy Grail moisturizer, yet. I'm still on the verge for looking for one and I'm not giving up! :D

How about you, do you use moisturizers? What's your HG? :3

Belo Intensive Whitening Face and Neck cream Review

Sometimes, when you just want something for everyday that moisturizes and protects you from the sun, putting on BB or CC creams can be a hassle. Especially, when you're just running on simple errands or if you just want to dry your clothes under the sun, you don't need to glam it up, right? Not unless... XD

Because of that particular reason, I bought to try Belo Intensive Whitening Face and Neck cream.

Belo Intensive Whitening Face and Neck cream with Spf 30

This product says that it's for intensive whitening, made with Kojic Acid and Tranexamic Acid.  Hand in hand, they inhibit the production of melanin that makes your skin whiter [info from packaging].  This also makes stubborn dark spots lighter.  Well, I do have pimple marks and some scars that I want to lighten. So that's an added plus for me.

Belo Intensive Whitening Face and Neck cream with Spf 30, made more effective with Kojic and Tranexamic acid.

One of the sides says about the features of the product, Kojic and Tranexamic acid .  Written also are directions on how to apply for best results.

The other side has the ingredients, how much it is, and its manufacturer.  Proudly made by Pinoy! 

The expiration is indicated at the back.

Out of the box, you get a 50 gram tub.

When you open it, there's a provided spatula. You don't have to dip your fingers in it. :D

I've used this sporadically during the summer, when I didn't use a CC cream when going out.  But I haven't worn it before under  the CC cream, since I felt that the CC cream is already moisturizing my face without the added sebum.

The texture looks quite creamy but it's actually light can be absorbed by the skin immediately. The thing is if you have oily skin like me, it might feel sticky if you put more than enough.

Recently, I've tried wearing it under The Face Shop Photo Blur BB Cream.  This BB cream doesn't really have moisturizing properties and given with the cool, rainy season, my oily skin tends to be drier (hence, more oil production and another post :D)

The Belo Intensive Whitening Face and Neck cream works fine under the BB cream. It's moisturizing enough and creates a fine base for the BB cream. The BB cream glides nicely on the skin. Though, because of my oily skin, I have to be careful. If I put too much, it would cause my face to oil so much. Ironically, though it is cool in the office, my face gets dry. The sides of my nose gets flaky a bit. So I'm wondering if I am not using enough or this product is just not that hydrating. Again, the thing is, if I use too much, I would be a frying pan once I go out from the office. It would feel muggy! Also, I haven't used this under the CC cream last summer, because it was sooo humid. #Oilyskingirlproblems DX

Belo Intensive Whitening Face and Neck cream in a nutshell

What I like:

• Has spf 30
• Light and can be absorbed by the skin immediately.
• A little goes a really, really long way.

What I don't like:

• If you have oily skin and put on too much, it can feel a little bit sticky, especially on hot, humid days.

Will I repurchase?

Maybe. I'm torn with the fact that it has spf (pro) and the muggy feel (con).  But let's see how this product goes for me.  I've got no adverse reaction from using the cream, such as getting more zits or rashes. Nothing happened like that to me. So, let's see. :D

How about you, have you tried the Belo Intensive Whitening Face and Neck cream?  Please do share your thoughts about it.

The Face Shop Jeju Volcanic Lava Nose Strip Review

Hi Guise!

It's been a while again.  Have I told you that I am with a new company now?  I'm still adjusting with everything. It's a whole lot of new stuff for me: new place, new company, new environment, new time frame.  Ironically, it's not that so much of a challenge - in terms of the work, that is. The transition is quite smooth, though I have a lot of sacrifices to go through.

Anyhoo,

Not so long ago, I bought myself some stuff. One of them is The Face Shop Jeju Volcanic Lava nose strip.  I have been meaning to buy them before but I just got the chance.

The Face Shop Jeju Volcanic Lava nose strip

At the back of the pack, you'll see the its features and ingredients. You'll also see its instructions in English and in Korean. There are also pictures on how to do it.  It makes the application easy!

Instructions, ingredients and features can be seen at the back of the pack. It has Korean and English texts. No need to translate it. :D

How to apply the The Face Shop Jeju Volcanic Lava nose strip

Step 1:
Wash face, leaving nose thoroughly wet. 

Step 2:
Remove the clear lining from the strip.

Step 3:
Apple across the bridge of the nose, pressing down firmly to ensure maximum contact. 

Step 4:
Let dry for 10-15 minutes until the strip had hardened. 

Step 5:
Slowly peel off strip.

You'll be amazed on how much black and white heads it can pull out of your pores.

I know this  is gross but let me tell you, this product works!

I'm really impressed with this nose strip.  It removed most, if not all, of the gunk stuck on my nose pores - especially on the sides of my nose.  This is a must have for that weekly pampering.

Sadly, I don't really remember how much one pack costs.  I guess it's around Php 40 for one (1) pack and a box of six (6) costs more or less Php 200.  I will update you on that. :D

What I like with The Face Shop Jeju Volcanic Lava nose strip:

• Affordable (will update you on the price :D)
• Easy to apply
• Effectively gets unwanted gunk
• No reaction

What I don't like with The Face Shop Jeju Volcanic Lava nose strip:

• Nothing!

How 'bout you, have you tried the The Face Shop Jeju Volcanic Lava nose strip?  Please do share your thoughts about it. :3

Into the Lazy Bug

I kinda envy other bloggers who regularly update their blogs whatever happens. I'm sort of a block or in a lazy period.  Honestly, I don't have any excuses. I've used them all!

Currently, I just enjoy reading the blogs that I follow.  I really applaud them that despite of their hectic schedule, they still find a way to put a review or their musings. I kinda said to myself that at least for a month, I get to write four (4) entries. Then, again, I barely even got four (4) entries for this year. Oh well...

If you know my story, I'm in a different place, different environment, different time zone. So it's like a first for me and the adjustments are still big. I'm still adjusting to everything. The upside is that I can have more time to write about how mundane I can be. That would be some expectations for me from me.

I just hope I won't drain into the lazy bug. And this calls for more will power (political power from Digong :D)!

Goodluck to me. :D

Free Tote Bag and Get a Chance to Win a Free Trip to Maldives with Dove Roll-on!

Hi guise! How are you? I hope the summer heat is not getting into you. It's just so hot that you always want to be protected: drink lots of water, put on sunscreen, and put on some deodorant. We, girls, don't want to be smelly and ghastly right? Summer is for fun, fun, fun!

As for me, I don't want running around the city or just commuting to work all smelly. So, when my 25 ml Dove Advanced Care Ultimate White deodorant is on the verge of drying up, I quickly decided to go to the mall and buy myself a new one. I don't want to risk another day living all sweaty and smelly DX.

There were no 25 ml's displayed so I just sucked it up to buy a 40 ml. I like the smaller one because it really lasts a long time, cute, and cheaper, hehehe. My previous bottle lasted around four (4) months or so. I'm a little skeptical about buying the bigger one because it may just expire before finishing it (even though the expiration date is still way to far XD).

When I got to the counter to pay up, the cashier offered me to get the one that comes with a tote bag. I was hesitant even though she said it'll still be for the same price. She coaxed me until I gave up and got myself the one that comes with the bag. It really is priced the same and the bag comes really free!

To more of my amusement, getting one (1) Dove Roll-on gives you a chance to win a trip for (2) to the Maldives. How cool is that?!

Well, I'm taking this a sign. If I win, I'm really going to thank that cashier for coaxing me to buy the Dove roll-on with the bag and my drying Dove roll-on deodorant. XD

Hurry now and join Dove's promo... and get a cute bag, too, while you're at it!

Inside the box:  The tote bag, deodorant and the instructions for the promo.

Achievement Unlocked for 2015 Mundane Wishlist

Hi Guise!

It's a new year and great new start!  Well, I haven't been really active.  I'm just on the sidelines marveling and reading wonderful posts from bloggers who I follow.  As you may know (if you have been following me XD), I do have lazy bones.  I'm pretty amazed of other bloggers who have a lot on their plate but still manage to post an entry everyday!  Kudos!  I'm just here cheering!

I still do enjoy writing a post or two, especially updating my blog layout XD.  I don't want to be compelled half-baked reviews or opinions.  I'm enjoying my own pace as a blogger, just like any other blogger. ^_^

Anyway, since it's a new year (two months is not yet too late!), I just updated my mundane wishlist.  I haven't really bought all that were listed.  Some of them were already two (2) years in progress.  I don't have the luxury to get all of them.  I guess in that way, I appreciated them more.

I just got two (2) from my mundane wishlist last year.  First, was Tuf Voyaging by George R. R. Martin and the second was Norwegian Wood by Murakami Haruki.  Both novels were given to me by the same person.  He said he wanted to help fulfill my wishes.  He's no genie but he does his best. :3

Got this on February 17, 2015.  This is a very hilarious novel!  Got him to read it and enjoyed it as well!  <3

He surprised me with this nine (9) days after my birthday! Finished this one already.  Watched its movie counterpart a lot of times!   <3

What's interesting was that I received Tuf Voyaging when he and I  were not yet in good terms.  He gave it to me a few days after Valentine's day.  I got Norwegian Wood when we made terms and I got it nine (9) days after my birthday.  Won't you agree he's sweet like that?

As I've mentioned, I'd appreciate it more if I got my wishlist on a bargain or on a very good deal.  It's also surprising that I realized, getting a help from a real-life genie is not that bad fulfilling your wishlist.  And I guess, I'm contented with what I have since I don't have a lot on the wishlist.

However, for this year, I do feel the list would be long.  There are things that are worth really looking and keeping.  Come to think of it, just like my real-life genie. :3

My First Zalora Experience Review: So good!

My first ever Zalora purchase arrived last Friday, 11/6.  I was so ecstatic because it was all smooth sailin'!

I placed my order last 11/1 and opted for a bank transfer payment. I even sent an email to Zalora to make sure that they received my payment (Nanigurado talaga ako XD. The email support representative immediately responded to reassure me. Impressive customer service! :D)

Around 11/3 or 11/4, they confirmed my payment and immediately informed me that they will be sending my purchase.

Voila, on 11/5, Zalora texted me that their delivery guy will be at our doorstep anytime within 8 am - 5pm. Unfortunately, there was no one at home when the delivery guy came. He immediately called and settled that he'll just drop my purchase at our village entrance (poor delivery guy).

Finally, I got my first ever Zalora purchase!

It came in a box with your name on the top panel. 

The bottom came out with a warning.  You'll feel really special as a customer. :3

Unboxing...

Inside the box:  Customer copy receipt, Order replacement instructions, the item.

The item:  Carefully wrapped with a bubble wrap and wrapped with another plastic case.

The item, inside the pouch:  The item even has a tag on it.  You are assured you are getting a real deal, no counterfeits!

Not only that the Zalora team quickly catered my order, they also have great customer service. I'm also trully impressed on how they take care of the things they deliver.  You'll feel really special as a customer.

I would definitely place another order from Zalora when the time comes! And, good news, they offer big discounts if you download and purchase with their app.

Check out Zalora and experience a great online shopping!

My first Lazada.ph experience review

My friend and I are first time shoppers in Lazada.  We wanted to try and experience shopping from their site.  Just about the right time, my Etude House retractable brush died on me.  So I thought, this is a good chance!

My friend ordered a powerbank and I ordered an Ecotools brush set.  My friend and I ordered together to take advantage of the free shipping.  We placed the  order last Thursday 10/15/2015.

My order arrived before than my friend's!  I got it last Wednesday, 10/21/2015.  Amazing!  I was really excited XD.  My friend said that gadgets may take time to be delivered.  So, he's still on the plateau phase of waiting.

I was really excited.  Aside from being my first Lazada purchase, this would be my first Ecotools set too!  And lo and behold when I opened the package~~~~ 

My excitement went from 10 then down...

NOTE:  Photos were taken with Asus Zenfone 2 Laser.  Images are so crisp! XD

From the logo itself, it screams fake already!

Judge them yourself.

From the looks of the brushes, they don't have the burnt "Ecotools" embedded on their handles.

Powder brush up close: Notice the ferrule.

The pouch:  No "Ecotools" sewn.

The package:  Leaf prints are not detailed.

Well, there you have it.  My first Lazada experience is like a 6/10 for me.  The delivery was fast, really fast for that matter.  However, I didn't expect that they would sell a counterfeit (At the back of my mind, I'm hoping that I am wrong.  You judge them yourself and prove me wrong XD).

On the bright side, the brushes feel soft.  I will get back to you on how they perform.

With this experience, I will not purchase brushes from Lazada anymore.  I'll buy from legit resellers next time.

How about you, have experienced something like this from Lazada?

By the way, my friend's order hasn't arrived yet as of this moment.  They're really hitting the 7-10 day mark, I guess.

Gear up for the HOLIDAYS with The Body Shop!

I was browsing my Facebook feed awhile ago and lo and behold!

Visit The Body Shop, Philippines for more details.

The next best things are 50-70% OFF SALE (at The Body Shop)!

We all know the best things in life are free... and for me, the next best things are 50-70% OFF SALE! (capslock kasi intense XD)

Yesterday, we went to SM City at Ecoland. My primary concern was just to check out shoes and then, I saw SALE at The Body Shop! To my luck, most are on at least 25 - 50% off. I instantly decided to buy my favorite body butter. I just had to, 'cause if I didn't, who knows if I got extra cash again for my self  (I'm quite frugal XD)

Strawberry Body Butter is L<3VE!

I'm not sure when the sale would end.  I checked out the tarp and it didn't really say when.  I didn't even bother asking the SA.  I just jumped right in and bought my fave body butter (#^o^#).  I also checked The Body Shop's Facebook account and there wasn't any really mention of any sale.  So, I'm guessing, it's just a local store sale of sort.  Maybe because of Eid'l Adha and the long weekend? I don't know.

Just hurry up and visit your The Body Shop store branches and take advantage of their up to 50% SALE!  Maybe it'll be until tomorrow or until the end of the month!  (Crossing my fingers on that!)

A Short Break from Hiatus

Wao... poor me!

I haven't been updating this blog for a long time.  In fact, I haven't been really writing so much. Things have gotten busy actually and I can't find my zen to write.  I have just been on the sidelines.  Just a spectator at the moment.

But let me just tell you that, I have tried Etude House CC Cream in Silky this month and my essentials are hitting pan or have hit pan already.  I hope I can tell you my piece on this when I find my peace.

And I hope I get that back soon. :)

The Faceshop Buy 1, Get 1 on Lip & Cheek Aqua Tint

The Face Shop has it again with a Buy 1 Get 1 Sale!  Only this time, they're offering their promo on the Lip & Cheek Aqua Tint.  I took a swatch of this before when I was looking for another good tint.  I guess this time is the best time to get two of them!

This promo runs from June 20 to July 31, 2015.  Check out their Facebook page for more details.

I want one or two of them!  Do you want them too?

Etude House Milky You One Step Cleansing Foam Review

Hi guise!  Happy Mom's Day!

I've been thinking about overhauling my blog again but, I think it would really matter a lot.  Another idea is that, I think I should re-organize on how I write about my findings on the products that I want to share.  I get too lazy most of the time and sometimes, when the inspiration strikes, I just want to write from my phone (though it's not that smart yet XD).  So, maybe, I should just make my own findings very concise and easy to understand. I guess, I should just start right now. #^o^#

Actually, I've had the drafts of this finding for quite a while already.  I believe, however, it still is never to too late to share about it.

So anyways...  I have used Etude House Milky You One Step Cleansing Foam sometime last year.  What made me buy this was that, the EH store at SM  Lanang Premiere ran out of the Baking Powder facial foam at the time.  I decided buying this type because of the convenience of being a one step facial cleanser.  Hurray!

Etude House Milky You One Step Cleansing Foam in full size, about 150 ml.

What I found interesting:
There are two types of instructions on how to use Etude House Milky You One Step Cleansing Foam:

i.  With Makeup:  Disperse an ample amount on your palms and gently massage to every inch of your face, starting with the cheeks, nose and ending with the forehead. (Thus, the image instruction below ^o^)  The process will actually make the foam to be stiff, making it more effective in absorbing and removing all that gunk on your face.
ii.  With No Makeup:  Simply dispense an ample amount on your palms to create foam and gently lather on your face.  That simple!

Actual instructions, whether you're wearing makeup or not.

With makeup, start massaging from the cheeks, nose and end at the forehead.

Of course, it is recommended to use and rinse off with lukewarm water.

What I like:

• The consistency - Watery for a foam but lathers really well.
• Non-drying - , Whether or not you're wearing makeup, it still leaves your face moisturized,smooth and soft.  (Thanks to the milk!)
• Less is more - An ample amount means a small pea size and it lathers and foams so well.
• Affordable
• No breakouts from using this one!

What I don't like:

• None!

In a nutshell:

I definitely love this facial foam!  I got the sample size of this from a mini haul and it lasted me a month and a half.  The full size lasted me around six to eight months.  It's a practical buy. ^_^
.

Buying again?
Yes!  (However, by the time that I finished the full-sized tube, the EH store didn't have this one and they got the Baking Powder one.  Talk about irony!  So, right now, I have the Baking Powder foam.  I could alternate with these two facial cleansers with no sweat.  Feeling lucky !^o^!)

How about you?  Have you tried Etude House Milky You One Step Cleansing Foam?  For the price, visit, Etude House Philippines website or their Facebook page.

Please do share how you find it.  Happy Mom's day again!  ^___^

Buy 1 Get 1 Sale at The Faceshop!

Hi guise!

Isn't summer so hot hot hot?! And it's hotter with all the SALEs goin' on.

One of my friends tagged me in Instagram with The Faceshop's month-long Buy 1 Get 1 Sale and I was extra ecstatic because my fave eye makeup, eyebrow makeup, is up for grabs with the offer. XD

The Faceshop Lovely me:ex Design My Eyebrow in 03 Black Brown

Actually, I don't really frequent Faceshop (I'm quite a fan of their competion XD), so I'm like on a foreign territory. I haven't tried their products yet but I adore their travel containers (sturdy and so cute ^_^). I just have read reviews of their beauty products online and tested some, like their tints, which are really pigmented. So this sale is a great opportunity for me to try some, especially their Lovely me:ex Design My Eyebrow.

I know I have promised a lot of my own findings. They're coming and please bear with me m(___)m. I assure you though that the Lovely me:ex Design My Eyebrow is pigmented. Well the real test would be for me to try it on. I promise to share my findings on that.

Aside from this great sale... I was also quite delighted with sales attendant who accommodated me.  After paying and before packing my purchases, she informed me that she may need to open the purchases to check if there are any defects.  She made sure that the pencils were not broken.  One of them was broken and she replaced it immediately.  Glad that she checked it for me.  In a way, it'll save me so much on the product.

The Buy 1 Get 1 Sale happens for this month.  They got other items on sale too, you can check their Facebook page or visit The Faceshop store now! :D

My Finds from the SM's Members Only Sale!

I kinda forgot that today is SM's Members Only Sale!  So, if you're an SMAC holder, you get to enjoy 10% OFF your purchases.

I was really quite surprised when the cashier told me this and I paid less than what I expected to pay for these items!

What I got:

Palty Tsubaki Camellia Oil Hair Treatment - It's a leave-on treatment.  I believe it's the same thing that is included in Palty Hair Dyes.  I love their leave-on treatment!  It's light and not sticky.  It doesn't sting and a little goes a long way.

Belo Sun Expert sun block for face - I'm giving this a good try. :D

Maybelline Baby Lips SPF20 Lip Balm - My Mary Kay Satin Lips lip balm already ran out.  I'm giving this a good try as well.

How about you?  How much did you spend on the SM Members Only Sale? XD

Palty Hair Dye in Milk Tea Brown Review: I success at dyeing!

So last night, I dyed my hair with Palty Hair Dye in Milk Tea Brown.  This was my first time using a DIY hair dye in my entire life.  Prior to choosing Palty, I have considered getting a bubble hair dye from a well-known Korean brand.  To my unfortunate  or fortunate  luck, two branches that I went to didn't have the shade that I want at the time I decided that I want to buy.  And it was pricier than I expected so I reconsidered my options.  I finally decided getting Palty after reading many reviews about it again and it was a little cheaper than the Korean brand.

I wanted to dye my hair because I believe the lighter hair color makes me livelier and younger. ohohoohoh.  I have strong black hair and felt really bored about it already.  Imagine, 20+ years of strong, black hair!  That's why I had it colored last year and I want to maintain it.  It could be pretty expensive doing this in a salon on a quarterly basis so thank God for DIY hair products. :D

My hair color before,already uneven.

I came to know about Palty hair dye way back in 2011, when I was still working online.  I had a lot of chances getting to know this product and read about a lot of positive reviews about its effectivity.  I also read about some so-so and negative comments about it.  Nonetheless, I bought it because the positives outweight the negatives.

I got the Milk Tea Brown and was skeptical because the box showed a lighter result but there's a swatch at the box and shows the expected results depending on your current hair color.  If your hair has been bleached blonde before application, I bet you'll get the exact color on the box.  You can sport a Tsubasa Miyakawa look right away. :D

My result is the one on the top right.

My hair after, taken under fluorescent room lighting and sunny filter from the camera.

Since this product has been in the market for quite awhile,  there were a lot demos already out in many different blogs and vlogs.  Thank God for that I don't have to do a demo. :P

So in a nutshell,

What I Like:

• I found it really easy to do!  The box already came witrh English texts, compared to before that it only contained Japanese texts.  One had to strongly rely on the images and had to read or watch demos about it.
• It didn't sting!
• It evenly covered my hair!  Though, I have strong gray hairs that refused to change color.  I got the same effect when I had my hair colored at the salon.  At least, the ones on my bangs followed suit. :D
• It didn't dried out my hair.  While I was rinsing my hair, my hair wasn't  stiff at all to my surprise.  I was expecting it would be really stiff like broom hair but it wasn't.  I just shampooed twice and didn'r bother conditioning it. LOL  I put on the Tsubaki hair moisturizer that came along with it and voila!

What I don't like:

• The smell can be a little bothersome.  It was not pleasant for me but my Mom said that it was fine and didn't sting her nose. (Her olfactory nerves can be sensitive. XD)
• There was no cape.  This is no biggie but it would be nice to have a free cape don't you think?

Thank God that this product is now available in SM department and grocery stores and in Watsons.  I don't have to look it up in online stores anymore.  However, the shades are pretty limited so you may still want to look up online stores for other outrageous shades.

I really like what my hair had become, I might repurchase this shade again.  It only costs for Php 389.75 from the SM Lanang grocery store.  I'm pretty happy with my first experience with Palty Hair Dye. !^o^!

Achievement Unlocked 2014!

Hi Guise!

It really took me awhile to update my mundane 2015 wishlist.  I was kinda thinking that maybe I won't be updating it anymore or maybe I don't really have anything in mind to have in my possession anymore  Technically, my mundane wishlist is about the things that  I really want to have in my collection.  Mostly are books but I got some things that are worth investing such as must haves in one's closet, like the loafers that I really love!

I only got three (3) items last year.  I'm carrying over the ones that I wasn't able to get last year to this year.  Maybe modify the list a little.

I'm listing my 2015 list and I guess as of now I can say, they will be just novels for the moment.  If you want to check it out, check it on my pages above.

How about you?  Do you have your own 2015 wishlist?  Tell me all about it. :D

Great Finds from The Great Three-Day Sale

Today marks the last day of The Great Three Day Sale at SM Lanang Premier. Here are the stuff that I bought.



All stuff are for the BB and I wasn't able to get some for me. :( That's okay thought. These finds were prized really low. I was really confident going for a little spree.

Well, I hope some of the stores would still have their sale until this week. I saw some shoes that I'd really want to have. Crossing my fingers on that XD.

So, I guess, see you again Great Three-Day Sale!
