Hi everyone! I am thinking of cutting my beyond-the-shoulder hair.. I think my hair goes down as low as to the bra line (is there such a thing?). Anyways, I wanted to get a haircut because my plaque psoriasis is getting worst. Last year was very very very stressful for me and it is only now that I am experiencing the effects of it. I have been sternly warned by my derma to veer away from steroids that is why I keep on using the petrolatum plus other ingredients medicine she gave me. Hmm.. I know a lot of people do not know about psoriasis and the usual reaction is "eewww,, what's that?" I think people should stop being dumb and insensitive about people with skin conditions (whether they be contagious or not). Psoriasis, btw, is not contagious at all. I became more confident on my skin now (unlike before that I would sob to death because of my condition). Being a beauty blogger, it took an immeasurable amount of courage to announce to the whole world that I have psoriasis (I already blogged about this before). I will do separate post on this.
Anyways, moving on with my haircut. Aside from my psoriasis, I am also considering the minimal amount of time I could spend every morning to get ready before going to the office. My hair is quite thick too and it takes a long time for it to dry. I am not fond of blow drying at all. When I saw Charlene Gonzales last Sunday at The Buzz, I was so mesmerized with her new look. I told myself that if I just have that jaw line like hers and those cheekbones, I would get such haircut and even go shorter! :D I sought an approval from BF that I would cut my hair short and the answer was in the affirmative! The dilemma? the kind of hairstyle! haha I need advice from ladies working on their online bachelor degree in cosmetology - which one do you think I should go with?
Choosing the right hairstyle for people with round face (like me) is very hard. I tried having a haircut (like a boy's cut) back in my high school days and damn, I looked utterly ugly! haha as in super! The following haircut look so pretty!! I do not if I could pull this of this layered razor cut. |

I really like this cut because it deflects the width of the face. |

Kelly Clarkson looking good with a short hair. |

After her break up with Piolo, KC Concepcion chose to keep it short.
I would probably go for the inverted bob which became quite popular. Thanks to Victoria Beckham! :D |

Godbless everyone! Thank God tomorrow is Friday, Friday, Friday!!! :D

Aido Lipstick
Hi everyone!!! I saw these lipsticks from a post of Kumiko or Lovingsunshine.com. I wanted a red lipstick that is really cheap since I am not into red lippies (they have the tendency to makeup my lips look bigger!!! arghhhh!!! ). Anyways, I am so late on finding these lipsticks considering that I have a strong penchant for local cheap thrills! Correct me if I am wrong but I think they are the cheapest LOCAL brand of makeup available in the Philippine market. Of course, I was expecting this to be made in China but it is made in Taiwan. Hmmm.. Will there be any difference if that's the case? NYX and Maybelline are both made in China and their products are very nice! I am also looking at their ingredients and I saw no sign of parabens in it .. or perhaps they just included a different name??

I wanted to get five lipsticks but I forcefully (haha) restrained myself from getting five! Why? Because I ordered 6 or 7 NYX lippies!! They have not yet arrived but I am really excited to get my hands on them. |
Here are the lip swatches:
|
J This shade is a very pigmented neutral deep red. This is perfect for warm/yellow skin tones like me. I have a hard time finding a nice red lipstick and this one compliments my skintone and does not make my teeth yellow. |
|
N This is a very beautiful peachy pink shade. I find this lipstick creamier than the other two shades. |
|
Q
This is a frosty blue toned pink. This shade is quite tricky. It may not suit majority of Filipina skin that much.
What I love about these lipsticks:
- Pigmentation is good. Shade N and J are very pigmented! With shade Q, you have to double the layer to get your desired shade/pigmentation.
- The texture of shade N is creamier compared to the other two. They are easy to apply and glides smoothly on the lips unlike Ever Bilena's Matte lipsticks. Also, compared to the very soft texture of NYX round lipsticks, these are way better since they do not smear nor stain my teeth.
- Very cheap!!!
- Locally available
- It has a nice staying power (2-3 hours, if my memory serves me right).
- It has manufacturing date. This will serve a good guide in determining whether these lipsticks have already expired.
- They have a wide range of colors. Majority of the shade are very wearable.
What I do not like about these lipsticks:
- The packaging is very tacky. Poor packaging talaga!!!! Well, what do you expect in a 50 pesos lipstick!?!
- These can be drying on the lips (not too much though.. that is for my lips ahh.. ).
- No funky smell when applied on the lips. However, when you will intentionally smell these lipsticks (as in close to your nose..), it has a faint plastic smell.
- I hate the alphabet shade names!!! Hello!?! A B C D E F G?? The names are so hard to recall.

N looks peachier when swatched.
