NOTD: Deborah Lippmann Bad Romance

happy Tuesday ladies! it's back to work once again - bye long weekend! we have a new bundle of joy in the house so there's more reason to stay positive nowadays! (^_^) more details on that on my future posts hehe.

i've almost forgotten to feature Deborah Lippmann Bad Romance, which is part of my first purchase from Luxola.com. i love this polish and hopefully my swatches do them justice.


more pictures and swatches after the jump!



all swatches done in 2 coats, no topcoat (kindly excuse the cuticles!)




my thoughts:
- it looks absolutely gorgeous! especially under direct sunlight.
- the formula is easy to apply and dries fast. it is shiny even without a topcoat (all swatches above are of the polish alone)
- there is a bit of a trick to apply it so that the bigger glitters get into action as well. if you just apply this hastily, it's most likely that you'll apply the bigger glitters sparingly. i had to made sure they are distributed nicely for these swatches.
- i honestly thought the color of the polish will be purple but it looked so dark it's black. it still looks very nice though, so not really complaining.
- same functional and chic packaging, loving it!
- for S$33, this is expensive no doubt but definitely a keeper too!

if you are able to get your hands on this, do! i think it'll be great for your manicure probably for evening wear or as pedicure but if you know me (i love colorful polish) i don't care and i will wear it anytime and on every nail i have! hehe. i give this two thumbs up!

have you any Deborah Lippmann loving lately? lemme know! (~_^)

i hope you'll be cheerful for the rest of the day!

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

i got BELOfied!

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

Belo (Acne) Oil Control Kit review

Image
*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
