Hi everyone. I am typing this blog post in an internet shop at a nearby mall. I will be gone for a while. I have nothing to post anyway. Our house was gutted by fire yesterday, Christmas day. I have only saved my camera. My parents saved a few things - 2 tv, our diplomas and pictures. That's about it. It is just so sad that this tragedy happened to us especially on Christmas day. I am lost and confused on what to do but I know God has a better plan for our lives. Last Christmas 2011, we spent our Christmas in the hospital because my lolo was in the ICU and 2 days after he died. Now, we spent our Christmas on the streets, helplessly trying to console ourselves on the things we lost. I am still trying to pinch myself every now and then to see if this is all a bad dream. However, this is a sad truth our family must face. The sorrow I felt when I lost my grandfather last year is inexplicable compared to what happened to us now. The sadness that I am feeling now is only momentary.Despite this, I still feel blessed because we are all alive. Praise God for another life. Praise God for people who are helping us start anew and for all the concerns. Also, I am writing this post to apologize to the companies who have sent me products for review. I am very sorry I cannot do reviews on the products you sent. I apologize that I can not email each one of you.
I am looking forward to 2013. With God's grace, we will overcome this problem. My God is a faithful and living GOD. Thank you Lord for a new life.
Godbless.
Til my next post, and hopefully it will be a positive one.
Rejoice
always, pray
continually, give thanks in
all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ
Jesus - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (New International Version)
My title post sounds so enticing, I know all of you are expecting that I will be bombarding you with tons of gifts that I received. Nah.. I just got a few things. :) BF gifted me with this boxing gloves that are colored pink!! (I exclaimed in the sports store when I saw this and he immediately paid for it. Thanks JOD!) I finally decided to lose my flabs and jogging does not work me because I am too lazy to wake up early in the morning. Ohh I don't only want to lose weight but I really want to achieve a bikini bod! Am I too old for that? haha Well I saw this deal on a group buying sight and decided to give boxing a try. I have two sessions already and damn it is addicting. I could get enough of the machismo feel at the elorde gym. Throwing punches felt liberating. My body ached a lot after my first session.
Do you think my trainer won't mind if I will match my pink gloves, hot pink shoes with a pink lipstick? :)
I will do a separate blog post about my boxing sessions after I see any progress.. :)
I also bought this hand wrap which cost me 550 pesos!!! With a few hundreds, I could have bought two Revlon Kissable Lipbalm Stain! They are currently on sale and I have been eyeing them for months now.
Another gift that I got was from my beloved Aunt from NYC! :) My first beauty book. I can't wait to read this over the Holidays while sipping hot chocolate or Nescafe Creamy White Latte (my addiction).
Guess what? My Aunt even have the book signed by Bobbi Brown herself. :) yay!!! Isn't she the coolest!! Thanks Tita Love you so much.
That's about it.. Btw, I also received a Latisse Lash Enhancer from an officemate during our Christmas Party. I used it tonight. I will post updates about this soon. That's about it.
I am soo excited for Christmas.. :)
Godbless

Gentle yet highly effective, this double formulated lip & eye remover easily and instantly dissolves all traces of makeup for a soothing and moisturizing effect on the sensitive lip & eye area without any irritation.
100ml (3.38 fl.oz.)
I edited this review because it sounded so negative that it seems as if this product was bereft of any good point. Actually this is a very nice product. It is just that I expected that it can easily remove stubborn waterproof mascara and eyeliner.
The last time I used a liquid makeup remover was years ago during college when I received a Lancome Bi-Facil Makeup Remover. I thought that this product will deliver perfectly like Lancome's. The formulation is a blend of oil and water. So, you really have to shake the product well before using it. This only costs 198 pesos and is probably one of the cheapest makeup remover in the local market.The name of this product is quite weird - lip and eye remover. They better add "makeup" before the remover to prevent any confusion. hehe |
I love the fact that most Korean Products have an expiration date imprinted on their packaging. I have high expectations on this product because of the good reviews it has online.
The formula of this makeup remover is perfect for those with dry skin. After using this, it makes my skin soft and silky. This has a very gentle feel on the skin. It does not sting nor irritate my eyes. It does not have a weird scent and taste. It does a great job of removing eyeshadows, undereye concealer and lipstick. However, I have a hard time using it to remove my mascara and eyeliner. Both mascara and eyeliner I often use are not even water proof. I need to pour a lot of product on the cotton pad to remove my mascara and eyeliner. Moreover, I need to rub the cotton pad on my eyes to remove all the excess product. Here is my attempt on removing my eyeliner and mascara using this product.
It is very obvious that it did not remove my eyeliner and mascara totally. This is what I dislike about this makeup remover. It does not remove all the eyeliner and mascara easily. Thus, I need to to exert extra effort. Also I just bought this product two weeks ago and my bottle is almost half empty because I have to pour loads of product on the cotton pad to make this effectively remove my non waterproof mascara and eyeliner. Contradistinguished to my all time favorite makeup remover (Ponds Cold Cream) that can last for months.
Will I buy again? Never. YES.
However I prefer using my Ponds Cold Cream in removing eye makeup.
Btw, I want to share with you this funny conversation with BF. He commented the other day while he was reading my blog - "Talaga bang sinasabi mo pag ayaw mo ang product?" I answered -- "Naman! Kelangan ba magsinungaling ako?!?! haha
Godbless everyone!
