The Bacolod Adventure II + Nature's Village Resort Review

OHAI GUYS! *u*

This is the second part of the Bacolod trip/competition last year.

The flight to Bacolod was not comfortable. There was slight turbulence and we are quite worried since we have heard that it was raining hard at Bacolod airport. My boyfriend was hungry already but was waiting patiently for us at the airport. I know it was quite uncomfortable for him at that moment, waiting at a place he has never been before--while it's raining hard.

We arrived past 10:00pm in Bacolod; before we had our flight in Manila (to Bacolod),  I was already exchanging text messages with the customer service personnel of the hotel we had reservations with. 

We have heard that at Bacolod, taxis might not be available after 10:00pm. It's not like Manila where you can have a cab 24/7; here there's still this peak time and off peak time of cabs.  Especially now that it was raining hard, we overheard some passengers (probably a locale of Bacolod) that it would be very hard to get a cab in this rain and time. Good thing Nature's Village Resort's personnel was very accommodating. They suggested a car (big enough for 4 persons with big bags) to pick us up from the airport to the hotel for P600 (more or less). It's really no big deal for us to pay the fee since it's raining and we really wanted to get our ass on our comfy warm rooms right now.

The ride from the airport was comfortable even though we were quite drenched because of the rain (we got a dose of rain shower while loading our things in the car). The ride took us 15-20minutes (without traffic) to our hotel. When we get there, the worst greeted us on the face: brownout.:l

DreamGirl Eye Shadow Quattro UPDATE

OHAI LADIES~!

As I have no "verdict" part on my DreamGirl Eye Shadow Quattro post before, I would like to post some pictures for this part and a conclusion to seal the review. 

Things to take note of:

• I have extremely oily eyelids
• I used UDPP in Sin  for my eyelids
• I only went to Manila hotel (which has good air-conditioned environment) BUT after the oath taking I found myself walking around outside Manila Hotel for Taxi since almost everyone who came there commuted.
• I found my face sweating a bit after the 'short' walk.
• I did not retouch my makeup.
• I applied my makeup around 8-9am. I need to get to the venue at 12nn or 1pm. I came from (Trece Martires City) Cavite going to Manila Hotel (just to emphasize how long I've been wearing this) 

Here are the photos where I have used the said mini palette:

*Warning: pictures-bombarded-post*

I have borrowed my sister's camera for this, thus the pictures are way better than the last post.:)

Day: Thursday, August 18, 2011 *uhh, last year >_<*

My face still looked fresh since I did not sweat and my oily face was still under control.

DreamGirl Eye Shadow Quattro

OHAI GUYS!*v*

I was curious of the 4U2 cosmetics that can be seen in Watsons at SM malls or on the beauty sections of SM Department stores here in the Philippines. I was always lurking at their stall and looking at their eye shadows because they're so pigmented (and glittery!). Yesterday (though feeling ill) I went to SM and lurk once more. I did not plan to buy anything that day but I suddenly thought of what I should wear at my oath taking next thursday (yes, I passed the board exam, yeeeeeey!). I thought of wearing gold makeup because it's not everyday that you can wear gold in your eyes and this is one heck special occasion next to graduation.:)

Being picky and thrifty, I choose something less than Php200. Then I stumbled upon DreamGirl Eyeshadow Quad in number 1. I guess they should have named it "color me gold", hehe. Anyway, the first impression as you go near the booth is this: "Perfect makeup for beginner/high school." Why? because their designs are more appealing to youngsters and it really looked "toys for the girls", haha. But testing their cosmetics will give you a surprise: their pigmentation is no joke! So before eating every space in this entry with my endless rant, let me introduce you to my little new friend: DreamGirl:

Even with the name itself, "DreamGirl", sounds like it's really catering for the youngsters. I guess the name is just.. unappealing to me? Haha--anyway--moving on..

The Quattro still sealed.:)

Good thing this has expiration date. So I'll just check my blog entries for reference. LOL

And the price is...

Because I'm lazy like that. Lol. Please make reading a habit when buying things.;) Yes, it contains paraben. I won't be using this on daily basis so I guess that would be okay.

Time to see the DreamGirl!:D

  

Evolution of Smooth: Lip Sphere

OHAI GUYS! *v*

Hope you did not caught colds or something from last week's rain. D: It's hard to get sick at this time of the year where classes are going on or there are tons of work to do. I also hope you all are safe since I've heard there are still parts of our country experiencing flood--which also means heavy traffic, houses filled with water/properties destroyed, people having a really hard time.:( I hope you're all lucky enough as I do to have not experience flood. We live somewhere in Cavite near Tagaytay that's why we don't experience flood. *A*

 




Anyway, something to cheer you up.. as promised, the EOS review!:D Sorry guys if it took me forever to post this, still juggling everything I need to do.T^T

My EOS and other things for review (bought from shopgirl19). Remember my post last time?:D Now I got one of the babies rolling! *ehem*

I’ll make this short and quick—since I’m just taking a break from reviewing for the exam, again—hehehe. EOS site can be seen here and all the basic things you should know about their product.

Vaseline Petroleum Jelly Vs Majolica Majorca Lash Expander

OHAI GUYS! *u*

Okay, I'll have a Majolica Majorca Lash Expander review soon~! (I bought this for my graduation since I've read good reviews about it)

I haven't bought any makeup removers since I can use baby oil for my old waterproof mascara but after buying Majolica Majorca Lash Expander  and  Mac Studio Fix (which I think is the culprit for my recent clogged pores) so I am now in search for good (and CHEAP!) makeup remover.

I've read at MakeupAlley other reviews about Vaseline petroleum jelly as mascara remover so I've tried this since I already have one on hand.

*Warning: Loaded with pictures.*

On the red corner, the stubborn and hardworking Majolica Majorca Lash Expander~!

Upcoming Review: Circle Lens

First time to buy circle lens.:) *excited*

Upcoming Review: Skin Hour

Trying out my sister's new lens. It turned out duh-ruh-ma-tic.

CG meets Lip Ice (now in the Philippines!)

At first, I'm not totally aware of taking care of my skin, face, etc.

I don't even have my own daily skin routine! Then (influenced by magazines, tv commercials and friends) I started reading blogs, watching other Vlogs or tutorials that made me 'aah, boy I need that'. The closest thing I got to taking care of my skin (other than taking a bath--err) is putting on lotion (cricket sound on the BG). Maybe it's also because I am blessed with good skin (I mean pimples are never a problem only when I'm going to have my monthly period) and my mom is always on freaking alert mode whenever we (my siblings and I) think of buying other stuff to put on. My mom always tells us that our skin is too young to be bombarded with harsh chemicals thus I only understand that I should put moisturizer on my face and neck at age of 20 (I'm not kidding).

Now that I'm getting way older and started to notice my skin is not as 'good' as before (thank you, insomnia and stress) I started to put on things I need (yes! prevention is better than cure).

One of my face problems now (like dark under eye circles, blackheads, whiteheads, etc.) is chapped lips. My lips are not as healthy-looking as before, also blame this to lack of water consumption. Anyway, years back, I've noticed I'm not as convinced with Chapsticks as before and started to look for something else and lately I'm starting to buy different lip balms/lip conditioners.

***DISCLAIMER: I'm not paid by Lip Ice for the product review. Everything in this post (and future posts) is my own opinion and without bias. THANK YOU.:)***

Yesterday, while I was strolling in MOA (Mall of Asia) with my friend, a promo girl gave me a pamphlet of a new product: LIP ICE. Curious, we went to their booth and tried their product.

After trying some, I swore to buy more of it! I think I've started to be lip-balm/conditioner-crazy since I've been buying lip balms/conditioners every month.O.O

(If you're confused about lip balm and lip conditioner, here's a helpful blog for you.)

So here's the product I bought (pink colored theme~!):

According to one of the assistants, this is their best seller. It comes with strawberry and unscented.
I can't wait to use it so it's already opened, just forgot to take a picture
of it unopened so I did put it back.lol

Hair Extension Review: Fringe and Romantic Curls.

OHAIGUYS! *u*

 For my second entry I'll be making a review.

That's right! A review about what I have purchased recently (like a month ago, it took a lot of self-control not to buy hair extensions but I DID! Fail. Oh well). I really want to try full fringe (bangs) but I'm afraid the hairstylist will cut it too short for me and I'm also afraid that full bangs won't suit me so when I stumbled upon some pictures of bangs extension of Miss Alodia (another picture here) I want to give it a try (just for a peace of mind).

I searched online and fringe extension costs around Php300-600 plus! I'm a cheapstake so I tried to search a cheaper one. I then met Ms. Francine who sells really cheap hair extensions, including fringes! (she's really patient and replies to your queries fast) What I bought is not human hair though because human hair extensions are quite expensive. At first I was hesitant to buy since it may look too fake; but because I have some experience on buying online I read comments/testimonials and pictures of the clients wearing the products. I'm convinced---too convinced that I also ordered for curly romantic hair extension!

I don't have very thick hair like before since my hair started to fallout 2 years ago so while looking for my HG (I think I found it, will make a review of it soon) I think the hair extension will help me have voluminous hair without suffocating my hair with more hair products on special occasions. Okay, enough about this and I'll show you the fringe and curly extension I bought in natural black. It also go with other colors so ask Ms. Francine if you're interested.:)

 

Here's "before" clipping in the fringe and long curls extension I bought.
