Quick post + what to expect for tom’s post

 

    Hey there my dear readers! Hope you are all doing well in your end.

    I can’t contain this excitement I’m having right now. I received a package from NOKIA WOMWOrld which I wasn’t expecting at all, secondly have you guys heard of Screen capture software? Basically, it captures everything in your PC screen in a jiffy, perfect for bloggers. I will be hosting a give a way for it, but will share more details tomorrow as I’m squeezing in my blog with work right now, XD. So for tomorrow expect 2 posts from me okay?

 

Till then!

Updates + something else

  Hello there! It’s been quite a while since my last post, sorry about that. I’ve been refraining myself in buying make-up, but I said to myself, I think now I deserve to buy a few things that I most love and reward myself. Well, it won’t be a major haul really and since I need a new foundation powder since my True Luminous (from Avon) is almost nearing empty. For coverage, the true luminous does not work for me, but that is because I have oily skin, so I need a heavier coverage. Anyway, I’ll be buying the in2it oil control powder and maybe something else.
  Anyway, since I haven’t bought it yet, I won’t be talking about that. As I am typing right now, I’m having so much butterflies in my tummy, I can’t contain my excitement but I don’t want to spoil the mystery post for next week. So here’s a hint ;)

   It’s a package, what is it? I can’t say for now, you’ll find out eventually ;)

Till then!

Long list of updates + L’oreal, Garnier and Human Nature

 

Hello Ladies! Happy Friday Morning to all! As promised, I will post updates on the things I’ve bought last week.

1. First of is the new L’oreal Damage repair shampoo:

I was pretty amazed with this shampoo, as I was expecting to see results  in 2 weeks, but the first time I tried it it was L-O-V-E! after the first wash of shampoo it was as if I used conditioner, it was so soft and that time it was perfect because I had a special date. He likes running his fingers through my hair and before I was a bit conscious because of the tangles. Now as for the frizziness, it was manageable compared before, but it’s still there. Unfortunately for my haircut, I really hated it (and I won’t mention where I had my haircut done last year), most days I have bad hair days that I have to tie up my hair in a bun, or sometimes a freaking fly away hair.

The shampoo has a rich texture, much richer than rejoice or pantene (or pretty much the same) As for the conditioner variant, if the first wash of the shampoo was soft, your hair gets more softer after the 2nd wash of the conditioner. You can say that I really really love this Shampoo, and looks like this will be my staple shampoo and conditioner for a long time.

L’oreal says: The 1st total reparation of the 5 signs of damaged hair with Cement-Ceramide, L’oreal’s exclusive active ingredient, that works to natural hair cement. Ceramide. It keeps hair strong and healthy by filling in cracks for strengthened and resilient hair and sealing hair scales for replenished moisture and ultra smooth and ultra shiny hair surface. Split ends are prevented

Proven results: 1. Stronger 2. Nourished 3. Shinier 4. Smoother 5. Less split ends

 

My verdict: 5/5 kikay points

Although, when I really want my hair clean from oiliness and dust I use Head and Shoulders Citrus clean, it does it’s job well. So I’ll be using it from time to time, depending on my activity and weather.

Will I repurchase? YES!

What’s your favorite shampoo that works for you? I’d love to hear them.

2. Garnier’s self heating mask

I was happy to get this as a freebie, given to me by BF then in the espresso launch. When I saw self heating, I was like, really? it promises to purify pores in 7 days and me being too tired to do an extra mile of cleansing my face I’ve only tried this for 3x. This is how it looks like

  As you can see, it’s color blue and once you put an amount in your face it IS self heating. It is recommended for 3 minutes only and I do not dare leave it longer. Here’s the product

Garnier says: The formula generates a self-heating action on contact with skin. Specifically developed with clay and zinc, it works to remove impurities and excess sebum to unclog pores and refine skin texture. Your skin should be deeply cleansed and looks shine free. It feels purified for up to 7 days.

Now, with that being said, If you’re like me who has oily skin, I think you should use this consistently to keep from being to shiny. How does it feel after using it? Well, i did feel the heat upon contact with skin. Actually you only put this on your T-Zone area, forehead, nose and chin for 3 minutes and then the heat eventually subsides. The heat is tolerable so don’t worry ;) I loved how it did make my t-zone less shiny on that day and cleansed. So this product is worth buying! You can use this once or twice a week.

My verdict: 3.7/5 kikay points (I’m pretty sure there’s a better product, like the one I saw at Shen’s Addiction, that I must buy too, but for the mean time this product works, so not bad at all!

Will I repurchase? YES!

3. http://bitsandtreats.blogspot.com/ – Chosen owner of her set 1

I came across bitsand treats’ blog through sugar sugar and saw that she’s having her set 1 of human nature’s tomato and lemon grass toner. I’ve heard good reviews for this product, specifically for oily skinned people like me and decided why not right? and  it’s free? It gives me a chance to test the product first and if it works for me then It’s a must buy in my list.

Human Nature says: For normal to oily skin. When alcohol-based toners sting, they are drying your skin, which leads to premature aging. Now you can tone without the aging! Tomato & Lemongrass is a combination packed with anti oxidants such as lycopene, beta carotene and Vitamin E that helps fight free radicals and maintain  healthy cells. Tomato is also bursting with Vitamin C to brighten. Don’t get old, pamper yourself with Nature’s Best!

 I’m not sure if this lessens the oiliness since it didn’t mention anything about that, but as for the brightening effects I’ve been using this 2 days straight for now but it seems that every time I use it my face looks a little brightened. As for the smell, it smells kinda weird but understandable because it’s organic, no issues there for me.  I think I’d see results in a week or so. As for my skin, I hardly have any breakouts, (but when I do, I have breakouts bigtime. Also after taking a shower some part of my face gets red and a little bit itchy)  though I have oily skin it’s hard to maintain looking fresh throughout the day or night. One of my biggest issues really.

Btw, I first read a review about this at Cabyness’ blog she’s on her 3rd bottle I think, you might want to check it out. http://cabyness.blogspot.com/2010/05/tomato-from-heart.html

My verdict: 3.6/5 kikay points

Will I buy? YES! and thanks to http://bitsandtreats.blogspot.com/ for letting me adopt her human nature.

 

So that’s about it for updates!

Quick updates

Happy weekend everyone! Work has been fine so far and it’s nice too that BF is also working in the same company as I am, except of course that we’re both in a different team. Weekdays are quite laid back, so I have ample time to write about something. First off, my work is a Content Moderation Control officer for Orion OMG Solutions Inc. for Cartoon Network, Hong Kong at Ortigas Pasig, just around the corner of Robinson’s Galleria. I had 3 weeks of training and currently moved to the night shift. I’m still adjusting with my body clock and I hope I get used to it soon. Music, hot chocolate and energy drinks are what keeps me up late at night. haha, it’s hard not to take a quick nap at the wee hours of the night, lucky for me my team leads are nice (being the only girl in the team at the night shift- so they have to be nice, lolz!)

So, the 30th of last month was my very first paycheck and I wasn’t expecting a high salary because it has been only 3 weeks of work, and to my surprise, it was more than to what I expected, WOOT! Since now I’m in the night shift, I’m definitely expecting (quite) a- lot in the 15th of this month. Well, it’s not really that high nor low, just the basic but with additional like night differential and holiday pay, things like that. I am happy that I was hired in this company, my team are very nice and my trainer was very patient with me, thanks Ate Cath.

 

Recently, I’ve acquired new make-up like Maybelline’s mineral foundation powder in Shell beige, which I’ll be posting a review about it sometime next week. I want to make sure to make a thorough review about it, at this moment it’s the wee hours of the night and, I’m afraid I can’t compose my thoughts properly.

 

Friday was the first screening of The Iron Man 2, BF and I watched it at Robinson’s Galleria, the memorable scenes for me was the sentiment of his dad, which I wasn’t expecting and a short preview of Thor, which is so cool! Man, I can’t wait to see that movie along with Captain America and The Avengers.

 

The final battle with Whiplash was just meh, it wasn’t really great or cool, but it’s still okay. Not unless if you’re expecting a kick ass battle, then sorry to burst your bubble. Then again, it’s just my perception about it.

I had barely 3 hours of sleep that day, and it was really hard staying awake late at night. I was beginning to be restless, haha. Rushed home as soon as I was finished with work.

Well, this is sort of an update, work is keeping me so I’ll do my best to find something new to make a review about. Like I said, I make reviews on random things that I love, not just make up. Hope you enjoy reading my random babblings.

 

Till next time!
