FOTD: Sex And The City Miranda lashes

good morning dear readers! sorry for lack of post yesterday, i had to rush to get my renewed Employment Pass and my children's Dependant Passes. Singapore's MOM is so efficient, the entire duration of retrieving it there was 15 minutes - our trip to go there from work is a lot longer haha. Can you believe that? That is what i don't miss in Philippines - crappy government service. Everything else, well I do. LOL

so for today, i wanted to share with you my first attempt in wearing falsies and it was a fun experience! last friday, i shared with you my Watsons haul and included there is my very first decent false eyelashes (because i've bought cheap and crappy ones before that i eventually just gave away) which is from Sex And The City Miranda edition. many of you got excited about it, i mean who wouldn't? in the packaging, it already looked uber gorgeous! in person and upon application, it is so much more!!!


so i did a simple FOTD - no colorful eye makeup and neutral lips - because i really want the lashes to take center stage. and it sure did!




i was in great awe how i looked like after i put these babies on - instant gorgeousness! no wonder lots of ladies are addicted to this stuff! i just love how it opened up my eyes and made me look & feel sexy!

i actually skipped some steps like putting on mascara before putting on the lashes because i'm really new at this and i didn't know i needed to do that. still, it looked great - i don't think anyone would've approached me and directly stare into my eyes and tell me, "you didn't curl and put on mascara did you?" LOL but i'll definitely take note of that in the future for better looking EOTDs. i've also had a bit of difficulty putting it on at first. the packaging says use tweezers but for the love of me, i just couldn't figure it out. eventually, i just held the center of the lash with my bare fingers and attached it gently while shaping it into the curvature of the eye. it took me more trials on my right eye than my left eye, i had to keep on removing the glue and repeating all over. (btw, i love the glue i used - KOJI Springheart Black eyelash glue! review on that later.) i also didn't anticipate that i needed to put eyeliner first before the lashes get attached, so i haphazardly put it all over the lashes afterwards, it was crazy! :p anyway, i think in the FOTD it wasn't that obvious so it's good. :D i also felt a little uncomfortable at first but i think it's because this is actually the first time i really had them on and i didn't put on mascara, which i suppose will help support them.

overall, i love love love falsies now! i used to just dream of wearing it but always afraid of not being able to use them after hauling (like the first time). now i learned that investing a li'l bit more could go a long, long way than being too cheapskate about it hehe. i plan to practice more on using these babies as the first time of application took me a long time as i was figuring things out along the way, which delayed me a lot hehe - good thing i didn't put on eye makeup! it could've taken me forever then hehe. i might upload a video on how i go about applying them but i have to find the time to do it first lol. anyway, i'll surely update you if i did!

since am now a falsies convert, it was the first thing i grabbed during my recent trip to Watsons - Dolly Wink upper AND lower lashes, addicted now i know! - update on that on my next posts! come to think of it, maybe i should grab Sex And The City Charlotte as well? gosh, this is breaking my bank!

do you love falsies? what is your first experience with it? share share share!!! (^_^)

Get ready for the BF!

Yes, it's that day of the year again waited upon by eager shoppers -- Black Friday. I think it's one of the best times of the year to hoard for almost anything and everything, especially if you're based in the US. Why? Across all kinds, brands and range of products and items there are just so much variety to choose from at highly discounted prices. This "shopping holiday" is strategically practiced just a few days shy from the Christmas gift-giving season so shopping for yourself and loved ones (and may be for your enemies too!) just got a lot more convenient, timely and cost-effective. Good news for Singapore-based gals like us, Black Friday has definitely rubbed off on some local companies who's merrily jumping onto the sales bandwagon. Nowadays, this is even sweeter as the deals are not only available at our favorite or popular department stores and boutiques but available dominantly in online shopping! I'm a busy momma -- what with my crazy workload...

Belo (Acne) Oil Control Kit review

*post changed on 9th January 2012: i've only noticed that i actually wrote "Belo ACNE Control Kit" when i got several comments on this post. it should be "Belo OIL Control Kit". i'm not sure if that stirred some confusion or if there is an acne kit per se but just to clarify, that the set i got is BELO OIL CONTROL KIT. so sorry for the confusion previously! previously, i've shared with you that i've tried Belo Acne  Oil Control Kit when i went for my very first facial and at the well-renowned Belo medical clinic (went at their Greenbelt branch). after finishing the entire line, i'd like to share my thoughts and experience. first, to refresh your memory of what the kit includes: i was advised with the following regimen: Morning: Glycolic Soap 5% Belo Prescriptives Pore Minimizer CHAT 2% Sunblock Gel Evening: Glycolic Soap 5% Belo Prescriptives Pore Minimizer CHAT 2% Daily Peel Solution on the Glycolic Soap: - i've never us...

i went back to Manila around late second week of July to get my 3rd ESWL . but before that, i went to Belo at The Residences @ Greenbelt with my youngest sister to get a facial and advice on how to improve our skin. i've never had facial EVER before so i didn't know what to expect. when we arrived, the ladies at the reception greeted us promptly and asked our names to know our appointment. the ambiance of the clinic is very serene, inviting and pleasant. immediately after getting in, i inhaled this clean, jasmine(?) aroma - uhm, very soothing. one of the ladies at the reception received us, then ushered us into available seats and shortly thereafter were offered drinks then asked to fill up a form (since it's our first time there). after a little while, we were assisted to our respective treatment rooms for the facial. my facialist that day was Matet. she was pretty (her skin was radiant!), professional and very accomodating with my queries. she also made me feel at...
