Drugstore potions Haul

Lip Balm April 17, 2015 0

Stuff from the drugstore! :)

Looking at these reminds me of the Pottermore task where you have to arrange potions to be able to go thru. Anyways these are essentials that I bought from the drugstore.

Deep cleansing oil because my skin is kind of at its worst right now and I don't really know why it's turning its back to me so I thought I'd give it some love and actually, I thought my skin would be better now that I'm in a less polluted country but nah, same old. Same old. Maybe it's the BB/CC cream residue I don't know so I thought I'd give this a try. What if I just use foundation on a regular basis instead of this BB/CC thing? Mmmm...but nah that would be a disaster. Too bad my skin is oily so putting another layer of oil is the risk that I'm taking. Then the small green bottle is an eye drop for I think my eyes need some loving as well. Perfect vision, please come back! Can I just say that it stings!! Like, I hope it makes all the difference when I finish the bottle.

Then this. I've been wanting to try this. They have loads of "flavors" but bought this mainly because it's Paris. And pink. They have NY, London, Tokyo, and other cities but since this doesn't give you any hint of color, whatsoever, I'm not really interested in trying the others. This lip balm is promising! Feels nice, smells nice, and everything. Also, not sticky so perfect for putting on before lipstick.

Baby Lips by Maybelline Product Review

Shikimikie Blog May 20, 2013 2

This is how the thing looks like unopened. It's actually

The flavor my mom got me was Mixed Berry. I don't know what goodness can it give my lips but it's sure smells delicious or maybe it's because of olfaction and shiz. I don't know.

This is how the thing looks like and as you can see, it's quite pink already so it's quite obvious that you would get that pink glow it claims to give. It's moisturizing and it's really easy to apply so I'm really happy about this product.

This is how it looks like on my hand. Don't be fooled though because I applied this when I was about to go to the hospital and then when I looked at the mirror there, my lips were neon. It doesn't look like it for the first few minutes that you would apply it but really? Neon? I was like surprised because WTH? It's probably just my lips or whatever but this is intense. Now, I actually like the color it gives but it was just inappropriate that time.

You definitely can't see the neon here but this is the pink tinge it gives at first so yeah. On another note, my skin is still at its worst right now. Oh well.

Victoria Jackson Lip Addiction Lip Balm Quartet. Review.

Victoria Jackson Review November 03, 2012 0

After trying these for some time, I decided to make a quick review. Nothing extensive. Maybe I've used these stuff for like two to three times each and so yeah. Let's go!

So here's how mine exactly looks like. The label kind of messed up by itself already. But it doesn't really matter.

I researched a little bit and in the Philippines, it retails for like 960-ish php. Like, you get the four thingy already. Do I think it's worth the price? Not quite. Not that I don't like it though. But I just don't think it's worth 200-ish php each. It also comes with a lip brush which is not that great by the way. I would have appreciated 4 brushes though. NO IDEA.

It actually doesn't have a name for each color. Or probably just the Japanese version. No idea. Like at the bottom, each just says Victoria Jackson and then Lip Addiction Lip Balm. But anyways.

I also prepared a swatch. Yay!

My favorite would probably be the second one. Both swatch and real thing. Like, the first one is kind of orange-y and the last two are kind of so-so. Very neutral.

I actually like the balmy consistency and how soft it feels on my lips. It's quite long lasting too. It's so non-sticky which is great and as you can see, it's quite pigmented. Yay for MOISTURE!

One thing I don't like about it though. Well, except for the price! It's quite messy to apply and all that. I mean, compared to a regular chapstick or your typical lip gloss, you have to have something for you to apply it hygienically to your lips. I mean, it's not always a good idea to scoop your product and apply it to your lips. Especially LIPS! So yeah! And who has time for lip brushes when on the go? That's all. :)

Tag Answers. :)

Victoria's Secret October 13, 2012 1

I've been tagged by the fab Pink Mommy, and here are my answers to the questions.

1. Do you wear makeup everyday?

- Nope. I don't actually wear make up that much. Not full make up at least. On normal days, I would wear concealer on some concealable flaws and stuff and I would just put powder to kind of set it. But when I'm running late, got no time for that. Just my tinted lip balm and I'm good to go.

2. Most favorite makeup product (only 1)

- I would say concealer. Thank goodness I am not a smoker so my lips are kind of okay without tinted lip balm but that would be my second. Ha! See what I did there? LOL.

3. iPhone or BB (blackberry)?

- iPhone! I actually thought of buying Blackberry before I bought my very first iPhone but yeah I don't know what happened. No regrets!

4. Favorite body products?

- Since I'm not a morning person and I usually wake up late and got not much to prepare everyday, I got no time to put on stuff on my body but when I do, I just spray with my Victoria's Secret Body Mist. As much as I would like to apply lotion, it actually troubles me that it'll take time to dry and that I can't put on my uniform right away. On off days though, or which I would like to call the "MOISTURE DAY", I actually bother to put on lotion, lip balm, hair mask, face mask, and stuff. Okay this second paragraph is actually irrelevant. LOL.

5. Favorite perfume/cologne?

- Victoria's Secret scents are really my type. As of now, I'm finishing this. As you can see, I'm running very low of this. Might last me a month or two. I think. Or three.

6. Where do you usually hangout?

- At home. Internship is really exhausting and really sucking the energy out of me so I would just stay home to kind of replenish and stuff.

7. Boyfriend/Girlfriend vs. Bestfriends?

- I have a picture to explain.

8. What/Who are you for the next 5 years?

- A better version of me. Hopefully was able to go to Paris at least.

I actually don't know much about what will happen to me or who will I become by then. Ugh, life. Hopefully I'd be a practicing Medical Technologist by then too. And doing other stuff as well.

9. MAC or Nars

- I actually don't own any NARS and I don't like M.A.C all that much so I don't know.

10. Moisturizer or toner?

- Toner! :) My skin is actually oily so it kind of have its natural moisture already so I don't want to interfere so that might bring back my very bad bad skin again. I actually used moisturizer before and it kind of broke me out. I should have used a moisturizer that's specifically for oily skin though. But whatever. I know it's very important to moisturize but whatever. Will do that soon! Once my skin is full healed.

11. Eyeliner or mascara?

- Mascara. For some reason, well...I actually used to wear eyeliner a lot way back high school but I didn't realize how odd it looked on me. Well not odd. Probably "inappropriate" since I was in high school that time. So yeah. If not for the trouble of removing mascara, I would probably wear it everyday since my lashes are actually short and boring.

Maybelline Lip Smooth Color & Care. Review.

Shikimikie August 09, 2012 1

I can't really stand the previous lip balm that I used so I got another one. And this time it's from Maybelline. It's actually the second Maybelline lip product that I've tried and so far, so good. I don't know. I tried to look for couple of products there but yeah I don't know.

I love that it has SPF and stuff. Well, you know what that does, aye? Anyways. I picked the darkest one so to make up for that almost colorless tinge that my previous lip balm gives. And it's really non sticky.

Basically, I have nothing against it. But I don't know if I like it that much. Pretty normal I should say. But really not bad after all.

It comes off like that. This tube is actually smaller than the Nivea thus it weighs only 4.5 g compared to 4.8 g of the Nivea. But whatevs. I'm just saying.

The color pay off is not bad :) But not that great either. It doesn't really stay that long so you have to kind of re-apply once in a while and stuff but I don't mind doing that, really.

Day off! :)

Fun Monday! :) Went with mom to the mall to have her hair done. Oops! Went with my cousin as well. I bought some other stuff but I bought the stuff under on my own money so yeah, only took the photo of that stuff.

My mom actually took my eyebrow razor so I got one again and then I run out of lip balm so I got this Nivea Soft Rose. I'm gonna do a review of it later on. I'm just trying it some more to see if my first impression will last and stuff. BTW, I don't like the razor much. Gave me small cuts.

Also! Had late lunch with my cousin.

It ruined my diet. Like, for reals. I think I had two cups of rice that time. LOLs. But anyways. It happens. And it's not like I do eat that much every single meal. I know. Hashtag EXCUSES. LOL.

This is how I looked like that day. My dark circles are really getting worse. MUST SLEEP PROPERLY.

My cousin trying to give me my share of that thingy.

We also had Coco Fresco like a little while before we went home. I had this before and I must say it's pretty good. The thing about it is that I can't seem to like the whole serving of it. For some reason, I feel like a little goes a long way. But whatever. It's actually shake and my cousin actually told me that she just liked it like when she was halfway done the bottle. I'm like the reverse.
