Dior Kiss-able Lips

I've been a lip gloss person since the lip glosses came out! I've tried tons and tons of glosses but I never finish up one tube. I will definitely post more glosses soon but for now, I am going to show you guys my Dior Kiss gloss in RED CURRANT.

Here's how it looks like. (below) This one is in their limited edition tube 8ml - 7.6g. This was bought at the Duty Free Shop for a pack of 5 different shades for $36.00

Look just how glossy it is and it has tiny sparks of gold specks.

When applied, it doesn't look too reddish as seen in the packaging. It has just the right amount of shimmer and gloss and it's not too sticky. Tastes yummy.

Taken with flash, look how shiny it is. It reflects the light and it doesn't look too made up!

This is nice, I will definitely finish up this tube (I can feel it). First because it is not too big..hehehe..and second, it tastes wonderful, third, it just felt so right! Felt like lip balm

Tip ---

Just because you're using a gloss, please do not skip your HG lip balm to protect and moisturize your lippies.


Will I purchase this again? ---
Yes, if I manage to finish up the rest and buy a new shade



How about you guys? Any glosses you found that deserves attention?

With sadness, there's always something that'll make you smile

As I was just telling you guys awhile ago, I felt so down with what happened to my grandma and with my dad's health not getting well, everything seemed to be just down the dumps.

When I opened up my mailbox, I got an email from our wedding photographer sending us the pictures he took from our wedding last year. This one is one of my favorite! Looking at this picture makes me feel oh-so-warm and fuzzy inside. This time, it's not just about remembering the "special day". This time, it's the feeling of feeling loved and cared for, for more than a decade (yup, he's my high school sweetie and my first love). He was always there for me, to support me, to listen, to lend me his shoulders to cry on.

I'm feeling better now, as I have my hubby, my bestfriend. Thanks sweetie!

My Grandma Passed Away...

It was sad, it was heart wrenching, my grandma passed away yesterday and it was a shocking news to me and my family. The only thing that is making us accept this is the fact that my grandma passed away during her sleep and she was quite calm and peaceful-looking.

I am praying for her to rest in peace. We love you grandma!

Baby Soft Skin

In today's world of whitening products, everyone is just crazy with all the whitening soaps. I myself changed soaps so many times I can't even keep track on the brands I've used. I am suffering the consequences today, for taking care too much of my face but not my body!

Since temperature isn't that bad and weather is a bit cool the past months, I have always been scratching my legs, my arms, my tummy, my back. And since I've got sensitive skin, I've always been blaming my allergies. I really do have allergies but this time, my anti-allergy medication doesn't work.

After 2 or 3 months of scratching, I have finally realized the root of all evil. My dry skin! I have been using whitening soaps, germicidal soaps, or any soaps that smell soooo darn good. I didn't even realized I am the "devil".

I've then decided to invest my time searching for the right soap, I wanted something Simple, Basic and Pure. And the answer wasn't in soap form...

You know what? This for me is my HG! Simple moisturizing cream that is good for the skin yet, it has it's added factor of smelling OH SO GOOD! I don't care if it doesn't whiten my skin, I don't care if it's a bit more complicated to use. This product, in just a couple of days stopped my flakiness, stopped my itching and I literally can skip lotion application (which is unusual as I apply my Victoria Secret lotion religiously every morning and evening).

I don't need to type in Pros and Cons as this..for me...is a PRO!!!!!!!! For all you "itchy and scratchy" gals out there, give this a try. It won't hurt for such a good price.

The Face Shop : The Flower Silky Make Up Foundation Review

** Available at all The Face Shop stores available in NB21 and NB23 for approx Php 795.00

The Face Shop (TFS) has already been in the buzz for quite sometime now and I believe almost everybody who's into make up especially in ASIA would know or have already tried at least one or two of TFS products.

I myself was a Face Shop addict, I even had TFS goodies for my bridal entourage as I love their products so much :) Funny thing? I've passed the stage but I'll do some product reviews on the products I've used as I've finished them up anyways.

TFS Says --

For all skin type
The name ‘THE FLOWER’ comes from its ingredients. Made with mineral-enriched edible flowers such as Rose Jasmine Chamomile and more these flower petals have been grinded into micro-pigments with an advanced technology to provide flawless moisturized and luminous skin.

Skin-friendly natural wax extracted from Olive protects moisture loss and provides silky finish. Skin looks comfortable and naturally beautiful.

Askmewhats Says --

I honestly used the tester and applied it all over my face and neck and waited for more than 10 minutes to check if I'm allergic to this product or not. I strongly recommend everyone to TEST the product (that's what testers are for) and do not be pressured into buying. As you will be spending your hard earned money and you want to make sure it's going to be worth it!

Pros --

• Very nice packaging
• Have a faint smell but isn't strong enough to make you sneeze
  
• True to their word, it is Skin Friendly!
  
• Very light and doesn't cake
• With the right shade, it looks natural and doesn't make you look too made up

Cons --

• Not for heavy coverage. If you have scars or acne, concealer is needed
  
• Because of its "dewy" look, OILY skinned peeps out there, BEWARE hehehe. (joking, you only need to pat loose powder to set the look)

Will I repurchase?

*evil laugh* bwahahahaha I'm not even halfway done with this bottle. I'm using a new liquid foundation now *arrrghhh* I KNOW! Why can't I just finish (just ONE) product? hehehe Don't get me wrong, I love this but it was Cover Girl's fault they have a new liquid foundation that I like. hehehe


Additionals --

Sample photo from my engagement party. It is indeed "dewy" looking. And it was more than 4 hours later :D It did stay put :D

**aawww, reminiscing this moment. The day was 7-7-07, my Eva Longoria moment :P
