Yes, it got the best of me, so I went back to grab myself some "souvenirs" before they said xoxo to United States </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's not a lot really just basic items. But the lady was so kind she gave me a lot of freebie samples with my purchase.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

What I like here is assistants are so open about giving samples without pushing you to buy anything. I was primarily looking for an eye cream but they said they only had samples left and if I liked it, I can order it off the net. Plus the lady gave me a sample of the DepSea Rose, Pink Lipgloss, Premium oil cleanser 15ml and a fresh oil cleanser 50ml</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qrR0hyckY6A/TN7Zj_MtQ8I/AAAAAAAAADI/Cg_DjiaUAaQ/s1600/IMG_4360.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qrR0hyckY6A/TN7Zj_MtQ8I/AAAAAAAAADI/Cg_DjiaUAaQ/s320/IMG_4360.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I flew out of Pinas last May 5th for studies and I thought my skin love the weather since it's not too humid and the pollution is less. After a week of staying here my skin broke out really nasty cystic acne that i have never had in my life before. Sure my skin was not perfect when i was there back home, but it was not THIS bad either.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The products I was using then was The Body Shop's tea tree line which was awesome in keeping my skin behaved. it's so frustrating that it wasn't working anymore.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">so I tried various products ranging from neutrogena's acne kit, the stress control line, the tea tree line and then decided to completely slash off Neutrogena in my life. It was so harsh it dried my skin out (on a summer season) and it always gave that tight feeling after you wipe your face from cleaning. The only thing i liked from them was the oil-free sunscreen.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I also tried ProActiv and I'm swearing it off it made my skin dry as hell without doing anything to my spots. Going to a derma isn't even in my option list right now because it costs sooooo much here. Imagine a tube of Duac that costs 850php there costs $80 here, that's just insane. So the search for the skin care regime still continues. </div>jahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12567833063838122140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9022183091907296406.post-43960956807421100162010-11-08T12:03:00.000-08:002010-11-08T12:03:12.672-08:00Goodie Bag: Vichy<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"> Mr FedEx man came in today with a small box. I was expecting it from Vichy because i ordered a couple of things from them. namely their Dermablend stuff as it was not available in my local CVS. Quite disappointed that their shipping took about 2 weeks. But here's what i got anyway.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qrR0hyckY6A/TNhSxPWRhPI/AAAAAAAAADA/0n8Ngrp_PQ8/s1600/IMG_4319.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qrR0hyckY6A/TNhSxPWRhPI/AAAAAAAAADA/0n8Ngrp_PQ8/s320/IMG_4319.JPG" width="320" /></a>No they're not marshmallows. The package came in and when i opened it i was surprised that a bunch of styro marshmallows greeted me. I only ordered 2 products. You can imagine the time i spent digging in through this marshmallows to find what I'm looking for. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qrR0hyckY6A/TNhSsD1SQRI/AAAAAAAAAC4/yEp1v-qHIFI/s1600/IMG_4327.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qrR0hyckY6A/TNhSsD1SQRI/AAAAAAAAAC4/yEp1v-qHIFI/s320/IMG_4327.JPG" width="212" /></a>First off, I ordered Vichy concealer, it claims to be long-wearing and full coverage for those who suffer skin imperfections (me! me! meeeeee!!!) I was ecstatic when I saw Lisa Eldrige's Acne Covering Make up demo that I wanted to try it for myself. Yes, they do have a return policy if you don't like the product.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">*1st impression: The coverage reminds me of MAC Pro longwear concealer. Although Vichy was "softer" texture and is easier to blend, almost like a mousse feel concealer born with full coverage super powers. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qrR0hyckY6A/TNhSuhssEJI/AAAAAAAAAC8/rCfJDH5-p7A/s1600/IMG_4324.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qrR0hyckY6A/TNhSuhssEJI/AAAAAAAAAC8/rCfJDH5-p7A/s320/IMG_4324.JPG" width="320" /></a>The next thing I ordered was the setting powder. I'm originally using the Chanel loose powder for setting because I'm trying to finish it, but a year has passed and it still HAS A LOT. Now the Chanel loose powder finishes my make up great, a soft focus finish and very natural, light reflecting and I look very refreshed. All that good stuff happens on me.... for the first 3 hours. After that i have to blot mu face and re-apply. The container, yes it has Chanel written all over it, but it's BIG! </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">So I wanted to look for something that would lengthen my foundation wear. and this boasts sweat-proof and waterproof (kinda scary) capability. Plus it's hypoallergenic. I wanted to get the Make Up Forever HD powder originally but we both know that it's expensive and I don't like the slimy bally feel when I tested it out.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">*I haven't tested it out yet as I'm still trying to look for a good cleanser. the waterproof part scares me a bit.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

Pink ferrule, dark brown handle, a rhinestone encrusted mirror (1 side magnified, the other normal) and of course the brush bag.<br />

....But they got RECALLED by Costco. For what? Quality issues. When asked is they would still be releasing a holiday brush set, no concrete answer was given, I was just told that they'd send me an e-mail if stocks are in.jahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12567833063838122140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9022183091907296406.post-87964928415508453892010-11-05T12:43:00.000-07:002010-11-05T12:46:03.103-07:00Errand shopping: Bath & Body worksYou know it's nearing the holiday season when stores throw out sales here and there. Nordstrom has their Women & kids sale, and I'm eying this ToyWatch piece. ToysRus are having there sale too, yes I know because i have a niece and she wants a Christmas gift. What's up with kids and Dora anyway? haha. Going back, Outlets stores are starting their sale too and I'm going back to the <a href="http://thenc40girl.blogspot.com/2010/11/lancomes-cosmetic-company-outlet.html">Lancome Cosmetic Company Outlet</a> in the weekend, they sent me an e-mail telling me that beauty boxes just arrived. <br />
<br />
Bath & Body works has their 3 for 3 sale which i was waiting for because it's such a good deal. I have this clients too that has a thing for their pocketbac hand sanitizers. The glittery cupcakes one was running low already and since it's limited ed, I don't think they'll be re-stocking. I checked their website and it wasn't listed anymore.<br />
<br />

I personally love love love the reindeer ones because I'm a fan of mint. Next is the twisted peppermint, they only have some left on my store so I'm going back tomorrow and grab whatever I can. haha. But all of them smells wonderful!! No wonder people collects them. Maybe I'm going to start mine too!! =D</div><br />

Glow in the Holder. It's cute! Thought I might surprise her with a little gift and i saw this. She likes the sanitizers anyway so might as well give her something to hang it on with. I'm going back for the glittery forest green one, the purple, and pink for my friends in Pinas. and buy them pocketbacs too.<br />

</a></div>I'm going back to buy myself holiday sets which was awesome because you get 3 travel sized items for $10 (fragrance mist, body lotion, shower gel) and the other set was $15 for a travel size body lotion and perfume (the glass one). I was so busy with the shopping list I forgot to grab one for myself. <br />

Lo and Behold. Shu Uemura at 50% off! 50% off ladies. I asked why and the assistant told me it was because they're pulling all the Shu Uemura stocks in the U.S., she didn't care to elaborate. On November 5th Shu Uemura in the states will be extinct. It's kind of sad because there isn't a lot of brands here that targets Asian skin. The last items they're liquidating includes the Cleansing Oils, DepSea Mists, Blushes, Brush Sets, Palettes, Eyeshadows, Lip Glosses, Skin Care, Foundation & their infamous false eyelashes. The Store also carries brands like Lancome, Giorgio Armani, Kiehl's, Shu Uemura, Ralph Lauren, Yves Saint Laurent, Diesel, La Roche Posay.<br />

One of the most awaited event for make up and beauty fans. The Sephora Friends and Family Sale.<br />
<br />
I didn't get too much make up. Currently on the skin care side for now. My skin's a bit complicated since moving to California. I don't know why but it's sooooo frustrating. Things that kept my skin clear back then aren't working now. My tita said it was because it's not humid here so the pores are always closed trapping impurities. haaaaaay.<br />
<br />
anyway. the UPS man dropped this box today. and YEY!<br />

I was too and I guess it's because MAC's pushing a lot of color stories too fast that it's becoming more and more redundant. Too much that it doesn't entice the consumer so much anymore.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">anyway, here's a bit of preview from MAC's cham-pale collection. enjoy</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

font-weight: bold;"> my skin loves their products too</span></span>!!! since i have been using them my skin has gotten along with it. i used to swear on mineral whatever since they break me out, even everyday minerals broke me out after the 3rd day. but i have been using faerie organics for weeks now and my skin has gotten clearer, and yes i used up the free samples they shipped out so i have to get another one. what i am waiting for right now is, i actually ordered a few of their eyeshadow pigments because their colors were so whimsical (i'm a sucker for whimsical concept cosmetics), i was suppose to order from Aromaleigh (en pointe collection) but i heard that they're really crabby on giving out samples so i thought it wasn't so cost effective buying from them and paying shipping and getting a "barely-there" amount of sample. still waiting, i'm guessing shipping was delayed a bit because of the bad weather we had for the past days but hopefully they arrive. at least before our seniors' soiree party. hehe<br /><br />until next time, i'm off for some shopping right now.<br />=}jahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12567833063838122140noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9022183091907296406.post-69345970781265507332009-07-21T21:06:00.000-07:002010-10-27T12:54:46.309-07:00BRUSHES: Trivia Goat vs. Squirrel for different skin typesyou hear it again and again how the simplest tools such as your brushes can change the whole vibe of your make-up application, and while others may think the shape and density are one of the more crucial criteria, the material/hair/bristle used to make the brush can also play an important element to create that pretty made-up face =}<br /><br />trivia 1: Goat haired brushes give you a glossy finished look, while squirrel haired brushes give you a matte finished look.<br /><br />trivia 2: <strong>Goat hair</strong>: For those with oily skin. You can expect covering effects on pores naturally as fine powder can be applied evenly over the pores. In addition, you can get lustrous shiny skin by sweeping gently with the whole surface.<br /><br />Trivia 3: <strong>Blue squirrel hair</strong>: For those with dry, or sensitive skin. Blue squirrel hair is not resilient; therefore a finished look will be more matte-looking as powder is lightly applied to your skin. The hair is very delicate so it is the basic rule to use the brush surface by laying the brush down. Blue squirrel hair is suitable for loose powder application, however as the hair is very delicate, blue squirrel hair brushes are not suitable for powders containing oil.<br /><br />hope this helps a bit<br /><br />=}jahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12567833063838122140noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9022183091907296406.post-22015115836777437512009-07-19T18:49:00.000-07:002010-10-27T12:54:46.320-07:00BRUSHES: Hakuhodo Makeup Brushes<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4dm21Otqq44/SmPSzWmAUrI/AAAAAAAAAJw/lKM6RnuqIQk/s1600-h/pres.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 211px; height: 287px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4dm21Otqq44/SmPSzWmAUrI/AAAAAAAAAJw/lKM6RnuqIQk/s320/pres.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360359761181168306" border="0" /></a>hey girls, has anyone tried brushes from this company?... i was just so curious when my friends and i were having this pow-wow dinner and they mentioned that there's this Brush company from Japan, who creates this super nice and affordable brushes... so yea... i am sooooo uber curious, if anyone has their brushes, are they good?..

Based on its policy of “brushes are tools,” the company produces and sells brushes for traditional handicrafts such as lacquer painting and ceramic painting, as well as a wide variety of brushes for makeup, calligraphy, industrial use, and other applications. In 1982, the company launched its own brand of brushes. The ‘Hakuhodo’ name became widely known after concluding an OEM contract with MAC of Canada in 1995, and they now supply products for about 70 companies on an OEM basis.
