Clarisonic Pro Sonic Skin Cleansing Brush: WORTH THE HYPE?

A simple tag line that makes a difference!

Clarisonic Brush, is it really worth your money?
I got this brush from US and I had it shipped last January. It took me 1 month to get this. But I am not complaining since I claimed this in Manila Postal office for only 40-50php tax! CHEAP right? :))

PLUS. I bought this for only 12000php (shipping fee included) via paypal because of their Christmas Bonus Sale. :) Considering that it consists of 5 AMAZING BRUSHESSSS! and the sample facial/body wash!., So I was really really happy with my purchase, but will my sister get one in the future? Did they like it? 

Full review will be posted in the evening! :)

D.I.Y.: Cleansing Oil/Olive Oil Make-up remover!

Hi Guys! This day has been a tiring/busy day for me at school. We always have recitations/quizzes plus our research project for the company. I slept 3am last night, thus making me a sleepy head during break and when I took an FX after classes. But, I am REALLY REALLY EXCITED WITH THIS. Even though I only have less than 50 followers, I do hope that other people will be able to see this DIY cleansing oil because it is really easy as 1-2-3! :D

Cleansing oils in the market are very expensive and I could not let myself to spend again and again just because I was fascinated with it. Well, I was curious of the DHC cleansing oil as well as the infamous Shu Uemura cleansing oil. I also saw last May the new cleansing oil of The Face Shop. They look like the Shue Uemura ones because of the bottle, but with a pocket friendly price. I saw the Human Nature CLEANSING OIL. I like their sunflower oil, so I thought maybe this will be good. Apparently, I had problems with it. Because it is oil, the human nature cleansing oil does not emulsify and I am not used to that because of my Philosophy one step cleanser. It will not erase your make-up if you wet your face. I felt weird when I put the Plain cleansing oil in my face covered with powder,bb cream, and eyeliner. IT ALSO LEFT A FILM STREAK of oil in my face. And that alone (last reason) made me not to use it.

After thinking that the only reason why I do not like it was because it does not emulsify and it was hard for me to wash my face afterwards. Having that 'panghihinayang moment', I decided to put in one container a mixture of Human Nature cleansing oil and the Philosophy cleanser  and shook them to combine altogether. I didn't realize that because of these 2 mixtures, it formed a whitish thick mixture like a whip cream (slightly less foamy) and after putting some water on my palm to try it, IT WENT PERFECTLY GREAT!!

 I AM LOVING IT!  After doing this action, I hurriedly tried the OLIVE OIL WE HAVE IN THE KITCHEN AND I TOOK A DIFF FACIAL WASH like the one we use on a normal basis. And this time, a clear facial wash, and it has the same result! A WHITISH SLIGHTLY THICK CREAM, and it really emulsify well at the same time ACTS LIKE A CLEANSING OIL. :D


Here are the proofs for the DIY olive oil make-up cleanser! :)

swatches for BRTC bb cream, MAC lipstick, black eyeliner, clinique mascara, Shu Uemura Lipstick

the eyeliner and the shu uemura lip stain were removed from washing with a plain water; bb cream and MAC  red lipstick  remained just like a tough leech! lol

see how the oil melts the make-up which was waterproof awhile ago. :p .,  and because of the  facial wash added, it emulsified and can easily be washed

CLEAN SKIN!!!! :D YYYEEYY

another trial! another MAC lipstick

see how red may lips are? :)

I decided to emulsify it first

red stain!

red stain!!

clean lips!!! :D (bare wth my eeky lips. FYI I DO NOT AND WILL NEVER SMOKE =p )

ARE YOU CONVINCED ALREADY? =p TRY IT. IT DOES NOT COST THAT MUCH! Just get your olive oil in the kitchen and yourfacial wash! :)

I used just a simple facial wash. This is a sample I got with my Clarisonic brush. I did not like it so I used it as my sample for this procedure.

TAKE NOTE: FACIAL WASH SHOULD BE IN THIN LIQUID FORM or a liquid gel type (like human nature, philosophy 1 step cleanser, celeteque, clean and clear, CLinique) AND NOT THOSE WITH THICK CONSISTENCY (Pond's, neutrogena, Olay). I hope you know what I am trying to say =p .. The reason for this because the oil will not react on those thick cleaner. WELL I THINK. I AM NOT SURE WTH THAT but that's what happened when I tried using a thick cleanser. It did not mix. I think they are not soluble unless you use a liquid/gel like consistency.

I tried to put a 1:1 ratio for the olive oil and facial wash. I only tried a little amount to see if they will be soluble to one another.

SHAKE WELL! :D DO THE SHAKY SHAKE! :D

this one turned into a whitish-yellow liquid. For me, it means that I need more facial wash to  my  cleansing oil.. Once they both mixed well. You can add more olive oil depending on how thin/thick you want for your cleansing oil .
REMINDER= YOUR CLEANSING OIL will depend on what type your facial wash is, if your facial wash is suitable for oily skin, your skin will slightly feel dry in spite of the olive oil added (that's what I felt with my hands). If your facial wash is suitable for sensitive skin or has moisturizing effect, that will reflect after washing your face.

END RESULT: see how thick it  looks in the bottle? It's like a mayonnaise!

BUT WHEN YOU USE IT.

IT WILL TURN LIKE THIS

 HUMAN NATURE CLEANSING OIL + philosophy PURITY ratio is 3:1

it lathers very well bec of the oil and hint od

OLIVE OIL and plain facial wash (liquid gel type)

did well in removing my make-up! :D

HOPE YOU WILL TRY THIS! IT REALLY WORKS FOR ME. JUST REMEMBER THAT IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOUR FACIAL WASH AND YOUR RATIO :) Use a mild facial wash. :)





Let me know if it works for you, will yah? :)

Story of a Simple Girl.....and a Loving Boy-What a Touching Story.

I just saw this love story, and I nearly cried! .,


From the very beginning, girl's family objected strongly on her dating this guy, saying that it has got to do with family background, & that the girl will have to suffer for the rest of her life if she were to be with him.
Due to family's pressure, the couple quarrelled very often. Though the girl loved the guy deeply, she always asked him: "How deep isyour love for me?" As the guy is not good with his words, this often caused the girl to be very upset. With that & the family's pressure, the girl often vents her anger on him. As for him, he only endured it in silence.
After a couple of years, the guy finally graduated & decided to further his studies overseas. Before leaving, he proposed to e girl:

"I'm not very good with words. But all I know is that I love you. If you allow me, I will take care of you for the rest of my life. As for your family, I'll try my best to talk them round. Will you marry me?" The girl agreed, & with the guy's determination, the family finally gave in & agreed to let them get married. So before he left, they got engaged. The girl went out to the working society, whereas the guy was overseas, continuing his studies. They sent their love through
emails & phone calls. Though it was hard, but both never thought of giving up.
One day, while the girl was on her way to work, she was knocked down by a car that lost control. when she woke up, she saw her parents beside her bed. She realized that she was badly injured. Seeing her mum crying, she wanted to comfort her. But she realized that all that could come out of her mouth was just a sigh. she had lost her voice....
The doctor says that the impact on her brain has caused her to lose her voice. Listening to her parents' comfort, but with nothing coming out from her, she broke down. During the stay in hospital, besides silence cry,..it's still just silence cry that accompanied her. Upon reaching home, everything seems to be the same. Except for the ringing tone of the phone. Which pierced into her heart everytime it rang. She does not wish to let the guy know & not wanting to be a burden to him, she wrote a letter to him saying that she does not wish to wait any longer.
With that, she sent the ring back to him. In return, the guy sent millions & millions of reply, countless of phonecalls,.. all the girl could do, besides crying, is still crying.... The parents decided to move away, hoping that she could eventually forget everything & be happy.
With a new environment, the girl learns sign language & started a new life. Telling herself everyday that she must forget the guy. One day, her friend came & told her that he's back. She asked her friend not to let him know what happened to her. Since then, there wasn't anymore news of him.
A year has passed & her friend came with an envelope, containing a invitation card for the guy's wedding. The girl was shattered. When she open the letter, she saw her name in it instead. When she was about to ask her friend what's going on, she saw the guy standing in front of her.
He used sign language to tell her "I've spent a year to learn sign language. Just to let you know that I've not forgotten our promise.
Let me have the chance to be your voice. I Love You." With that, he slipped the ring back into her finger. The girl finally smiled.
Treat every relationship as if it's the last one, then you'll know how to Give. Treat every moment as is it's the last day, then you'll know how to treasure.

Treasure what you have right now, or else you will regret one day...

MAKE-UP ORGANIZATION- Vanity Desk

This was supposed to be a review of my Clarisonic Pro. As soon as my motivation to do the review fired up, that was the time pur desktop computer crashed! All the pics were saved since I forgot to put it in my laptop. Sighs.. I'll try to recover the pics this coming week , so I could do my humble-review about it. :) For the mean time let me share my make-up collection and how I organized them in the middle of a calming sunny/cloudy day Last Saturday SINCE I was gonna do it anyway.

 LET ME EMPHASIZE THAT I do not buy make-ups. YES. I do not Or probably, a little. I think I only bought around 10 makeup products (2 eyeshadow palettes, 1 urban decay primer, concealer, powder, 2 bb creams, and black eyeshadow, lip tint) and the NYX lipsticks + CHARM BRUSHES. Other than that, NADAAAH =p ., seeing how I adore make-up and how much fun I get with it, how come I don't buy make-ups often? One reason because I am the only who is really into make-ups. My sisters and my mom do not use make-up at all (just a powder, methinks) on a daily basis. I am the only one who uses eyeshadow(sometimes), eye liner, powder, lippy everyday. So I don't really use a LOT. 2nd reason, I don't have money to spend on make-ups. I have other priorities too, being a practical student. I'd rather spend my money on my loveones,clothes, and skincare. I actually want to buy more make-ups!, but I cannot afford myself to spend all the time. and LASTLY, just because my aunt who lives in USA used to send make-ups all the time! Especially on my 18th birthday last year, 3 of my aunts gave a huge amount of make-ups! Estee L., Clinique, Victoria Secret make-ups. It was so overwhelming. They also gave some to my sisters, and I took it to compile them all. =p ., It was so nice of them, right?

Because of the rain, our roof was freaking leaking! (wow that rhymes!) It was specifically in my room. On top of my vanity desk. Greattttt. So my things were moved in my bed. and I am really a messy girl when it comes to my things, I really need to organize them again.

so messsyy :(

I do not have a permanent container yet.  But I consider the big toolbox I got when I was 4th year as 1. It was good enough to carry my lip products and mascaras, as well as my foundations, powders, bronzer, primer, make-up removers, bb creams and kabuki brushes. Another container is used for my eyeshadow palettes and blushes. And another one for brushes. :) I actually have 3 containers for the brushes, one for the small brushes, one for the big brushes, and one for the used-and-need-to-be-washed brushes. :D

I will make some lip swatches on my lipsticks nex time. :)  As well as liners, and eyeshadow palettes. :)
