What's Your Favorite Nail Polish Remover?

Mine is The Face Shop's or Etude House's Nail Wash . But since I'm getting fond of Caronia nail polish I decided to try this: I searched a long time for this product. It's not available at Landmark, Watson's nor Beauty by SM. I found it at SM Supermarket. It costs P50. When it comes to nail polish removers, I'm very particular about the scent. I don't like the green local polish removers because they smell really bad. That's why I shell out 95 bucks to have a decent smelling polish remover. Caronia smells okay. You can still smell the acetone but not that strong. The cute color is a plus too. It's quite attractive especially to teenagers.  The polish remover itself is good. You can compare it to Etude House's Nail Wash . I can easily remove my nail polish, even the thick glittery ones. It doesn't leave a white film on my nails but it kinda dries up my cuticles and the surrounding skin. My fingers peel a little a few minutes after applicati...

Cheap Chica Find: Cindy Carol Sunglasses

Because I'm too cheap to buy sunglasses, I suffered when we went to Iligan. The heat and light were unbearable. I'm photo sensitive. I can't see beyond 2 feet when the sun is up and shining so bright. I need to hold on to someone to be able to walk properly and cross the street!  Believe it or not, I still think twice about buying a 300-peso pair of shades. Yeah, I know. Kuripot . So imagine my surprise when my cousins showed me their shades and told me the price - 50 wonderful pesos!  Lookie here: See the nice braids? I like! Here's an inside look: I love these shades. Because of this pair I am now on the lookout for more styles! I use this everyday when going to work. MB also bought a pair which I really love (and plan on stealing). His pair costs more, around P300 at SM.  This fits nicely and does its job. You can buy this at Cindy Carol Glorietta, under the escalators and going towards Landmark. They have other colors, shapes and styles to choose from. Ask...

Sunsilk Damage Repair Kit

It finally came! My FREE Sunsilk Damage Repair Kit actually arrived about 2 weeks ago. Well, prior to that, I've been using the conditioner for over a month already. I don't use the shampoo as I am loyal to my Human Heart Nature Strengthening Shampoo .  Let's see what's inside: Sunsilk is quite generous! All full sizes! But I wish they had the serum on too. Even if it comes in a sachet. I haven't tried this yet. I don't think my hair is that damaged. I'm also wary of trying out various hair products as I'm scared to lose my curls.  I love the conditioner. It costs around P85. I don't use it everyday, just 2-4 days a week, sometimes even less. It reduces my hair volume so when I don't like poufy hair, I use this conditioner. It kinda makes my scalp itch though. Or maybe I'm just too sensitive. But I like the fact that it doesn't ruin my curls. The curls just look different. They're smaller when I use this. I will use this until I ...

Earth Day!

Happy Earth Day everyone! Today is the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. But it's only for the past few years that people have been really aware of what's going on. I'm really glad that we are making steps to help fight climate change. Even the local businesses are doing their share. SM is one of them. The management is doing company wide projects that aim to save the environment. We are all familiar with their green bags. SM has more in store. They're also supporting Al Gore's visit to Manila. If you haven't watched The Inconvenient Truth yet, watch it. It will open your eyes.  Starbucks is also having a promo. You can get some of their tumblers for only P195. The promo is until April 30 only so hurry! MB bought one tumbler this morning and there was only one tumbler left in the Earth Day tumblers section. You also get P5 off on your drink when you decide to use your tumbler instead of their plastic cups. Lush is giving away selected bubble bars or ballistics f...

ELF Tone Correcting Concealer

I have mixed feelings about this product. I didn't like it on my first week of use. It stings the eyes. I accidentally put it too close to my eyes and it stung like crazy. I don't like the funky smell too. If you use this solo, you have to apply at least 2 coats to completely cover what you're hiding. But I've been using this everyday for the past couple of weeks and I'm starting to have a change of heart.  I don't use it on my under eye area anymore. I use it only on the spots on my cheeks. Then I apply some Surprise Concealer  on top.  I use my fingers to apply this. I don't use the applicator. I try to keep it as hygienic as possible.  I swipe some product on a clean finger then use another finger to blend. This shade is Apricot Beige. I think there are only 3 shades to choose from. This costs P129.75 at Beauty by SM. It doesn't give me allergies or rashes. It stays on for a good period of time, like the whole day if I stay in the office. You c...
