First Attempt on Falsies!

As I have said last time, I bought these false eyelashes for only 100.00 php (8 pairs)! It was the first time I saw falsies priced at a fair value, or even lower than the usual market value for these. I was intrigue by that, knowing that I am not blessed with beautiful and awesome lashes, I bought 2 from Say . Check her FB page for more info. She has 11 diff sets for the lashes. ^^ As I have said on my previous post, I met up with Ms. Say, and I know she is super busy and I was so makulit. :)) ., We were supposed to meet last last week, but because of the heavy rain, we postponed it for the 1st, and 2nd time. :p ., I am not in a hurry kasi I will be using it naman just for fun. So yun. HAHA. Thank You Miss Say (she is from UST, and I am from UST[before I shifted]. huraaay!. haha. ). :D

Lashes by SAY. (I now pronounce it as the BRAND NAME.haha lols )

I bought the Roseanne and LeJannie Lashes (since the packaged was labeled in diff language, Say named them for order/transaction purposes, I guess?). Roseanne is shorter and thicker compared with LeJannie that has thinner and longer strands. I like them both. But I am not used to wearing lashes everyday. =p ., They are made of plastic, I think the material is commonly used naman to all lashes? ., I want to try the Ardell lashes, but they are expensive for my taste. :)) I do not know how to re-use lashes so I threw it away after my first attempt. lols

Here is my attempt. I also used a lash glue from Hortaleza which was used during my 18th birthday (1 year and 3 months ago.lol ) :)) The upper part was already dry! I had to pull the dried/tacky glue to use the remaining. haha. I will buy lash glue next time. I need to buy one that is worth the money! >:D

with my papa B. haha. waiting for the valet. gonna watch Captain America! ^^

I am not expert in tight lining my upper waterline. haha. But it looks natural naman, kahit papano. ;p

oh my flat nose. :)))

Hope You like it! :)

Revlon ColorStay Soft and Smooth Lipcolor?

One Saturday morning, my mom showed me her Revlon Nail Polish and Lipstick that she got from her patient. I was not surprised when she showed me the nail polish because I am all aware of the product launch from other bloggers. But when I asked her what lipstick did she get, my eyes got bigger because of this.

I tried googling (lols) this but I think it is not that popular. I saw the Revlon website but the shade I got is not indicated in their product line. SO I am not sure, but it says under the label that it is ColorStay LipColor in 205 Blissful Honey. It is an shimmery orange/coral color with gold glits (tiny shimmery glits. :)) ) that can be applied sheer or bold. Ano daw? haha.

Shade: 205 Blissful Honey

Yeah. I know, Oily face. :| just got home.okay?? lols :))

It is pigmented, and looks natural on my lips. I can wear this on a daily basis. ^^
I do not know how much it is, because I am not even sure if this is available locally. I was just amazed, because I am not aware that there is a ColorStay Collection for Lip colors. :D

I miss blogging

huhuhuhu. I miss writing. I am not feeling well ., as I am writing this short update, I am coughing (very itchy bec of sore throat) while listening to my prof for our class. hihi. T.T

I have been very busy also, I myself do not know what to write in my blog these past few days. Not enough inspiration-slash-motivation I guess? ., What do you want me to write? What do you want to know? Because I am afraid that my writings are not good enough to be read by other people. Ohwweeelllllllll. my cough is just getting worse and worse. -.-

g2g. will try to figure out what I want to do. AND I REALLY NEED TO STUDY VERY HARD

QUICK HAUL. SUPER CHEAP FAKE EYE LASHES

I wanna die. haha. I am super super tired and I am not yet finished writing my 2 blog posts. So I decided to post a quick haul I did ago. I met up with Say of http://saytiocoartillero.blogspot.com/ . She's so busy with her work and studies, but she still managed to meet up and respond to my makulit na messages before. =p

She is selling 8pcs fake lashes per set for only PHP 100.00! CHEAP. SUPER CHEAP.

I am not a fan of fake eye lashes because I am not that experimental when it comes to my look, but I want to try it! So I bought 2 set from her.

I really like the eye lashes! the left one is much shorter than the right set. I like the shorter one better because I think it will look more natural compared with the set I got on the right. It is super LONGGG., for exaggeration purposes, I guess? =p

I bought these for only 200.00 all in all. not handling fee or whatever. After all, we met naman sa ust. ^^ .,

That's all for now. Let's be busy! haha lols.

Know More About Me--CHRISTINE REYES

Thanks to miss Diane. This is the first time I received a blog award. It's so awesome that this is entitled as 5 BLOG AWARDS! KUDOS KUDOS! >:D


Now, as part of receiving and passing over the blog awards.. Here are the 7 facts about me:

1) My name is Christine Reyes. I don't know if it sinks in your great minds but I have the same name or screen name (if this is not her real name) with Cristine Reyes (minus the "h"., haha). when I studied in ust taking up med tech, my seatmate's name is ma. kristina barbara reyes.... kristina reyes. sooo cooolll. hahaa. =p seating beside each other. and when I transferred to another school, I found out that there is someone (higher level than me I think) who is named Kristine Reyes. I don't know if that's the correct spelling, but she has that name. OMG. my name is so commoonn. :)) ., BUT THE TRUTH IS., saying that my name is so awesome and cool because it is rare to be in that situation, GIVES ME an AWKWARD feeling. :| I ended up not liking my name, and it kinda lessens my self-esteem. I always think that the actress is so well-known and popular, it gives me the feeling that i am being compared with her. AND OF COURSE I KNOW SHE IS SO HIGH TO REACH. But oh well. There's nothing I can do about my name, isn't?

2) I am an ALMOST-true-blooded- thomasian. :)) ., I studied in UST since kidergarten all the way to grade school, high school, and 2nd year college. I really hate Science (but I am happy to inform you that I was once a DL during my med tech years) and Medical Technology is not a joke. REALLY. NO SOCIAL LIFE. NO BREAKS. It is usually 6 days of classes and you start your class very early, ended up super late! I didn't fail any subjects, but I knew that I would not be able to finish it. I am now taking up Applied Economics and Accountancy.

3) Every time I follow other people in their blogs, I do not leave comments. hehehe. Because I am a lazy girl, I am usually a silent reader. Just reading your blogposts, then switched to another and so on! I usually read blogs for 2-3 hours! Imagine! :))

I am challenging myself from now one, that every time I read your blogs, I will try my best to leave a comment. At least 3 comments a day? eh? =p

4) I AM A CLINGY PERSON! PERIOD. HAHA
This is really really bad for me. Especially in a relationship. -_- . It really really sucks. I sometimes wish that I should not have experienced this in the past/now, because I am too young to handle this kind of emotions and I NEED TO STUDY FIRST AND GRADUATE. (mind you, our situation is not your typical kind of stories., I just wish it is.haysss)

5) I LOVE READING COMICS LIKE Archie, Betty & Veronica, Jughead,. all archie comics edition. It makes me relaxed. sooo muuccchh. ^^

6) I am the only one in my family who WANTS make-up! :| ., I do not know why! My 2 sisters, and my mom do not put make-up even a powder everyday. However, I always want to look myself presentable and with make-up like powder, eyeliner, mascara, concealer, and lipstick. Maybe I was adopted? lols

7) My biggest frustration is my face becoming acne-prone. :(( Skin care is something that is hard to experiment. When you get the wrong product, expect that you'll get a blemish or black heads, etc. It is a trial and error in my case. It really makes me sad. And this is one thing that I do not have patience. But during those waiting time, these blemishes are visible and can easily affect the rest. I JUST HATE IT. "mapaexpensive or mapamura, kapag hindi hiyang sayo., wala ka talagang magagawa" SIGHS.

REVIEW: Maybelline EyeStudio Lasting Drama Gel EyeLiner

whooaaa! The product name is SSOOO LLONNGG!! HAHAHA. Longer than my days of being missing in action. HAHA. Kidding. =p

I am so sorry that it took so long for me to do another post. I was not feeling well and I had so much things to do. I am taking up a double degree course: Applied Economics and Accountancy, which means we have more workloads. haayysss. plus., I was getting lazy. -_- . Yes., That's me. lols

Since my classes got suspended because of the rain! (oh yeahhhh) I decided to use this time to join in giveaways and post this too!

Anyway., I have been using this product for quite sometime. I also got to use this to my 2 sister and my cousin because we had a night out last Saturday! (Hail to that!)

*I actually started taking up pictures last Saturday and supposed to post this at that day, but I ran out of time. :p

I usually use pencil eyeliners (estee lauder) and a liquid liner from Revlon and I only realized now that gel eyeliners are the best among them! It is the easiest when lining your lashes. :)) ., This is the first time I tried one because I always keep on saying I already have a lot of eyeliners and the gel ones will just give the same result. but heck no. they are much better. hihi.


PROS:

• very cheap. retails for only  Php 449.00
• Does not have a weird scent
• Nicely packed. I also like the glass container because it will help to seal and prevent the product from drying.
• I love that it has a brush included- and I LOVE THE BRUSH. :) ., I didn't have a hard time using it. and the brush looks sturdy unlike the other free brushes. It also delivers thin and thick lines. :)

say hi to my maybelline smilee. haha

• I am not good in describing ha., but I think it dries fast when swiped and has a "matte" finish. 
• A LITTLE GOES A LONG LONG WAAYYY!!!
• YES. IT IS. WATER-PROOF. KUDOS. HAHA
• not heavy on the lids when applied!
• Perfect for lining near your lash line. 
• extremely pigmented
• very creamy and it glides smoothly
• long lasting! 

CONS:

• minimal budging. But I am not sure if this is a con or a pro because this is my first gel eyeliner and I don't have a clue if the other gel eyeliners budge/smudge horribly! =p
• some gel eyeliners are said to dry out in the pot after a few months. I HOPE THIS WILL NOT BE THE CASE OR ELSE. DEFINITELY NO-NO
• It budged in the back of my hand. After washing it, I tried rubbing it, and here's the picture

• It's not that easy to remove once it dries. I tried using the mixture I did (sunflower oil from human nature and philosophy 1 step cleanser) It took me 3-5 minutes to totally erase all the lines I did! lols

• has limited shades available. I think it only comes in black and brown?

Over all. I cannot emphasize how happy I am the moment I purchased and tried it. Amen. =p ., I think this not cheap and not expensive either to think that it will last long and it is worth the money you paid. ^^

Overall rating 4.5/5 - ONLY BECAUSE IT BUDGED A LITTLE. (I think they all do, it's just a matter of how long it takes to budge or its lasting power)


UPDATE: MY cousin likes this! She is planning to buy this right away. AND I found out, that my mom is using this in her room! She took it! AND THAT'S RARE. She does not use make-up everyday! (once in a blue moon. lols). Maybe I should ask her some money (to lessen my spendings) to buy myself more make-ups? **Giddy. :)) 

LYCHEES FOR HUNGER AND MOISTURIZERS FOR MY FACE. ^^

It's the season of lychees! And I am addicted with Lychees. I love Lychees. and Avocado. And Mango. And Grapes. AND. Durian. (lmao ^^)

So YES. Lychees are my Favorite for this season. It gives me a refreshing feeling, PLUS the taste is so amazing. I sometimes eat this as my food for dinner or breakfast =p ., Since I usually eat snacks like burger/shake/isaw/etc around 5 to 6pm. Lychees are my midnight food or sometimes, my dinner.

My skin also needs food. Our body, and efkerz, our face! :)
My post will focus more on how I feed my face with yummy-ness before I leave our house. :)

Before I use moisturizer and sunblock. I have my morning routine like washing, toning and all. I'll make a separate post about my morning and night routine. :D

No one is exempted for not using a moisturizer to your face! These are like food in the eyes of our skin. Even those who have oily skin must use moisturizers for they replenish/hydrate and nourish our skin after washing, toning and After all the harsh, polluted air (and other kinds of dirt) we consume/get outside. When it comes to moisturizers, it is hard to find THE ONE for you. As always, TRIAL AND TERROR WILL BE DONE, unless you are so lucky to find  your destined moisturizer in one trial.

I used to be those people who do not care about her face: How she looks, how great/bad her skin, since I always see my face without any pimples. SO why bother, right? But in the end, I sometimes get 1 or 2 bumps in my face probably because I am getting old and my hormones are changing which may cause this dilemma.

warriors ready! >:D

Those products in the picture are my past and current loves. =p
I stopped using some of it because I realized that some of it are not working for me, and not suitable for me.

here is the list of the products shown in the picture from left to right
Venus and Mars Keep Safe Tinted Facial Sunblock SPF 35
Clinique anti-blemish solution (clearing moisturizer)
2 tubes of Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel
Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion (I have 2 of this too ^^)
Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief
JASON SUNBRELLAS Facial Natural Sunblock SPF 20
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer waterlight lotion (sunblock)
Juice Beauty Oil-Free Moisturizer
Venus and Mars Emu Oil
(I also used Clean and Clear oil-free moisturizer before.my first moisturizer that I used when I was in High School. :D )

So what's my favorite moisturizer among these? Definitely the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing GEL. -this is so light and it glides smoothly! It is suitable for my oily skin. This product is easily absorbed by my skin the moment I cover my face with it. This is what I use in the morning/afternoon. I bought this one (the smallest tube) in Rustan's Makati when I joined Projectvanity's CLinique Party. It costs 1500 php together with the toner and facial wash. It is expensive. That's why I asked my aunt to buy a set also in USA (travel set also since I am still trying the products if it work) with a cheaper price. If you buy this in Clinique USA. You will really get more product with your money. I don't use this in the evening for 1 main reason: I DON'T WANT TO CONSUME TOO MUCH OF THIS! I might end up running out fast! :))) I can't afford to buy this all the time. hihihi. That's why I use the Clinique Dramatically Different Lotion. This one is suitable for dry skin. I am using this in the evening so that my DDMG will last longer and because sleeping in a fully air-conditioned room can dry your skin. Having a thicker moisturizer is not so bad after all to keep it moisturized against it. :D

As for the others. I used the MOISTURE SURGE EXTENDED THIRST RELIEF for my undereyes. AND YES! I AM SAVING IT SO MUCH UNTIL MY AUNT CAN GIVE ME ONE. hihihi. I got this as a freebie in Clinique Makati (Projectvanity's clinique party2). Miss Liz told me that she really really likes this moisturizer even in her undereyes because IT IS THAT GOOD. So I decided to use it in that area only. AND I AGREE WITH HER.

Clinique Anti Blemish solution moisturizer is for those poeple having a horrible nightmare with their blemishes. This is not for those who have 1 or 2 blemishes ha. If you use this all over your face, you must be given a permission by the Clinique SA first because as far as I know, this is too strong. This is also a freebie I got and the SA informed to dab it on the blemish itself and not all over my face. At first, I said to myself, "It's Working!", but for unknown reason, I think my skin got immuned to it. So I just use this if I have no options na. (I am not having breakouts na btw! And if I do, I also have my TBS tea tree oil ^^)

My Emu oil is good as a moisturizer at night. FYI-This is OIL so for those with oily skin, don't dare use this in the afternoon! I stopped using this because I like my Clinique na. AND. This is also good for scars and scratches/gasgas. So I think I well end up using this as a scar remover just in case it really works and true with their claims (that's how I use it. for light scars. NOT SURE IF IT WORKS) SO That this will not go into WASTE. I think this costs less than 500. Or a little over 500 php. Just check their site! =p (http://venusandmars08@multiply.com)

The Juice Beauty Oil-Free moisturizer is expensive too. This costs 1500-1800 php in Beauty Bar. This is one of their bestsellers according to their SA because it is organic. But, I do not like it, nor hate it. It is good, but there is something that bothered me when using this. There's a heat + tingling sensation everytime I use it. It has a long expiration , so I have it as back-up lang. JUST IN CASE. =p

The Venus and Mars Keep Safe Tinted Sunblock is good for those with dry skin. It is a tinted moisturizer PLUS SPF. SO YEAH. THAT'S GOOD. But I found out that this is the culrpit why I always blot twice or thrice a day. This is too oily for me. IMO.

For my sunscreens, I just recently bought these two. JASON SUNBRELLAS NATURAL SUNBLOCK SPF20 FROM Healthy Option. YEAH. from that place. I am not aware of that. And It is surprisingly CHEAP! around 450.00 php(10$) for 4.5oz (120 ml?). Compared to Neutrogena ultra sheer waterlight lotion SPF 50 which cost 460++ php for 30ml. The Jason sunblock is oil-free, hypoallergenic, parabeen free and non-comodogenic. It has UVA/UVB Protection but not stated how high it is.. This is what I use on a daily basis. It looks thick when dispensed, BUT it gets thinner and thinner when applied in my skin. I really really love it. As for my Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunblock, I am still experimenting on it. It has a watery substance and the SPF is high and their PA protection is also high (PA+++). I use this IF I know that I will be having outdoor activities or if I will be most of the time,under the sun. THE 2 PRODUCTS DID NOT BREAK ME OUT, Just to inform you. :D

I ALSO TRIED THE DERMALOGICA SUPER RICH SUNBLOCK SPF 30. This is what I used last summer. I was given 8 samples of it. It is very very thick. I liked it at first, but ended up not liking it because I think this makes me oilier. SO I RECOMMEND THIS for those with dry skin. :)

SO. THAT's IT GUYS! If you have any questions. Leave me a comment. ^^

PS: IF YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE IF YOUR MOISTURIZER SUITS YOU. Get a BLOTTING PAPER (oil control film like clean and clear) and pour a small amount of the product and check how the blotting paper absorbs the oil. Got this from someone's blog post. :) will show you an example next time. :D
