I am writing this post with great excitement (as in hindi ko macontain haha)! I know this post about Sample Room has been long over due. However, this is just in time for their opening. Yes! Sample Room is now up. This site is heaven sent to all beauty enthusiasts out there. I also think that this is perfect for those who are wary of buying expensive products. Sample room lets you experience the wonders of expensive products without breaking the bank. I am so thrilled with the idea of SampleRoom. Being a frugal and practical buyer, I do not want to spend thousands of pesos on a product that I am uncertain of its effects on me. Ohh MLI Readers you know me, right? I will search high and low for a dupe or a more practical counterpart of a product. This is the answer to my prayers. Now, I can test products without even breaking the bank. I just registered tonight in Sample Room and it was such a breeze! After 10 minutes, tada!!! my order is already placed!! Here is a diagram on how Sample Room works:
I have never been excited for an online site like this!!! :)) I think this is truly ingenious. Want to know why I am so excited about this site? |
I just placed my order and paid the shipping immediately via paypal. (I am so sorry mom! I am secretly using your credit card but no worries it is just a hundred pesos.. ) I ordered Benefit Porefessional. Wow!!! I have been wanting to try this baby for the longest time but I do not want to spend a lot for a primer. Let us see if this is worth all the raves both in the blogging and youtube commnity!

This day has been so tiring for me. I woke at around 3am to prepare for a hearing in Tarlac. I am praying for strength and Godly discernment on my career. Moving on, for years, I have been keeping my makeup in this plastic drawer box. I think I made a blog post about this four years ago.. :)
I have noticed that all my makeup can't fit in this plastic drawer box. Also, I have been buying a lot of new products lately (feeling rich lang talaga) and I do not know where to store them. Thus, I finally decided to purchase a bigger makeup organizer. I bought this at SM Department Store for only 350 pesos. Here it is.. tada...
This organizer is spacious that it can even hold some of my skin care essentials.
That's it! I told you this will be a quick one.. :)
Godbless

This post is my third installment for the "Truth Seeker Campaign" which intends to clarify common misconceptions about acne and skin care.
Have you ever experienced looking forward to an event in your like a class picture or a date or even prom then you suddenly wake up in great horror with a zit or two on your chin or cheek! I have encountered this dilemma countless of times and I honestly felt so ugly with one or two zit on my face. I could not imagine how people with acne feel about themselves. My readers may not know this but a person very dear to my heart suffered acne during his high school years. This is my first boyfriend and still my boyfriend after more than ten years.. :) He developed acne when he was in third year high school. Acne was the aftermath of his depression due to his brother's death. Little did he know that his stress and emotional turmoil will cause him acne. When we were in high school, people would always make fun of his acne. He was often called a lot of names and his face was compared to the moon's crater. When we became boyfriend-girlfriend, I learned that his self-esteem was greatly affected by his skin condition. I knew that on the outside he wanted to be nonchalant about it but he felt sad and distressed because of his condition. Right now, his acne scars are still there. I know he has moments of "I am so ugly." but I try to console by the fact that I do think he is handsome. :) Yes, I do. A lot of people would tell me I am blind. You know what, I have learned that love was never blind. Actually, people in love are the ones who see things that other people does not in that person.(ang cheesy lang ng peg ko!haha)
Moving on, having acne is not just a physical problem. This is not just skin deep. It affects one's life in countless of ways and it can greatly influence one's outlook in life and his/her self confidence. Studies have shown that people with acne are prone to depression, social withdrawal and anxiety. Sadly, people on the other side of the fence don't know that their jokes about one's acne or their side comments about their skin condition has a huge impact on these people. I sound so hypocritical in saying this considering the fact that we are in the era where physical beauty and aesthetics matter a lot. Did you even know that there is a research that showed that a major percentage of the public perceive attractive people as intelligent. Thus, people with acne are often the ones who feel afraid to interact with people or would often fail in job interviews because lack of self esteem. This is the ugly truth in our society today. The emotional impact of acne should not be disregarded by anyone. I hope people should try stop being judgmental about the physical features of other people.
Instead on wallowing on one's condition, people with acne should seek help. This is the best choice. It is not even an option. I know that acne is a skin disorder that is very hard to handle. You have to be prepared emotionally to deal with it and financially as well. Home made treatments may work for some but the tried and tested remedy is always try to keep your face clean.

I want to show you this picture that I submitted to the Supreme Court when I took the bar exams. I forgot that pictures should not be digitally edited and I have a huge zit on my chin. I was so worried on how my picture will turn out because of one zit on face. One zit is a very trivial matter to worry about. I just realized that for people with bad case of acne, they have to deal with this everyday. I believe that God made us beautiful in our own way no matter what. We only have one life to live. Let us be thankful in all circumstances.
Godbless!

Dazzle is a new fragrance by Paris Hilton, presented in 2012 as a floral – fruity fragrance that “expresses Paris' whimsical side, revealing her inner beauty – dazzlingly and charming without the need for bling”.
"Give me a chance to color my world and I colour it pink. A sparkling, sweet, pretty and playful pink, Dazzle, my newest fragrance, is about my world, me and all the different facets of my personality.”, said Paris adding:"I love beautiful jewels and of course, pink diamonds are a favorite, but feeling dazzling, special and on top of the world isn't about material things, for me, it comes from within.”
The composition opens with notes of pink lady apple, maraschino cherry and peach nectar with violet petals, pink calypso orchid and orange blossom in the heart and the base of vanilla, pink champagne, white patchouli and musk. It is developed by perfumer Frank Voelkl.
The bottle is designed by Henry de Monclin as a round and faceted pink diamond.
I was sent by Prestige Brands this newest perfume from Paris Hilton. The bottle look is befitting for an heiress. The pink bottle is very feminine and the rhinestones just added that much needed glamour. The scent reminds me of candies, fruits with a hint of vanilla. The blend of sweetness makes it a perfect perfume for the Christmas time. This is the kind of scent that warms up my nostrils and makes me feel so girly (which I am honestly not). Be careful in spraying this perfume. This is a very strong scent and just two pumps can lasts you the whole day. Make sure you spray 7-10 inches away from your body to ensure that the scent is properly distributed.
The first time I tried it on, my sister hurriedly asked me what is the perfume I used and she a meter away from me. I was like "wow, this perfume is potent!hehe" My little sister loved the scent and she forgot about Taylor Swift's wonderstruck and enchanted perfume when she smelled this. I love to use this on cold days especially in an air conditioned room.

Even the cap of this perfume screams Paris Hilton.. :) |
