Glow by Lady E

I love Saturdays. I get to sleep in, get to pamper myself, I can have movie marathons, go to the mall, chill out or do useful/creative things. What do you when your lipstick has reached the edge of the container? Do you chuck it or do use a lipstick brush to get the remaining product? You all know how I hate waste and I have 3 lippies that are on the edge or nearing the edge of the container. Plus, I also have these: So, I decided to make this: Open Close At first, I only wanted to depot(?) the 3 lipsticks. While doing this, I thought about how convenient this is going to be on hectic mornings when I'm always in a hurry to go to work. I wouldn't need to check my lipsticks one by one. Sure the sticker at the bottom helps but I still think the shade is different. Besides, the shade will really change depending on your skin tone. But I still wanted to see all my lipstick shades in one container and I still also wanted a tube to put in my makeup kit. After all, a lipstick tu...

Here are the beauty stuff that are up for adoption: Set 1 Set 1: The best selling Human Heart Nature Tomato Toner, The Body Shop Aqua Lily Body Lotion and Fix Professional Shape Shifter. Both the toner and the lotion are 99% full whereas Fix is about 95% full.  Set 2 Set 2: Sunsilk Damage Repair Shampoo, full size; The Body Shop Pink Grapefruit Body Puree, Fix Professional Agent Bond Styling Gum. The Sunsilk shampoo is new, the body puree is 99% full and the styling gum is 90% full. (I don't double dip so both hair products are clean) These are absolutely FREE ladies. I don't want to throw them away that's why I'm giving them up for 'adoption'. I told you before, I'm either allergic to the product or I have no use for it. If you want a set, just follow these steps: 1. Be a follower (If you're already a follower, skip to step 2!) 2. Answer this question: Why do you want set 1 or set 2? This is open to Philippine readers only. I'll shoulder the...

This product has its merits - for other people perhaps. Unfortunately, Myra Vita Glow didn't work out for me.  There are two shades - Ivory and Beige (if I'm not mistaken). I chose Ivory for the obvious reason that it's lighter and therefore friendly to my acidic skin. It turns out, it's too light for my skin tone. But, after a few minutes, it blended well into my original color. (Whoa, is my skin that acidic?)  I use this as a makeup base. I still use my Garnier moisturizer prior to application. Myra is quite hard to apply on my face though. I use a sponge and it takes a lot of light rubbing and massaging for it to be absorbed by my skin. Also, the moisturizer has a bit of sparkle/glitter in it. I think that's where the 'VITA GLOW' comes from. I don't like the fact that it makes me look like a wannabe Cullen. Yeah, the glitters are big enough for you to see on a regular mirror.  My makeup also doesn't stay on for long. It glides off. I have to re...

I know there are a lot of you out there who are lurkers in this blog. I need someone to "adopt" some of my beauty stuff and I'd appreciate it if you'll comment on this. These things are 95% to 99% full. My main reason for giving them out is because I'm allergic to them or I simply have no use for them. I don't want to throw them out. You know me, I hate waste. If I get at least 5 comments about this, I will show the things that are up for 'adoption'. Any comment will do. Tell me if you want to adopt them or a simple 'yes' or 'show me' will do. This is open for Philippine readers only. I hope to hear from you ladies very soon! P.S. The products range from hair care, skin care and body care. 

Most of the products I bought from Garnier suit my skin well. I don't have any complaints. I guess it's pretty obvious with the amount of Garnier products I've reviewed here. But now, we have a miss. Introducing Garnier Light Complete Multi-Action Whitening Cream I prefer to apply whitening moisturizers in the morning to keep my acidic skin in check. I've used this other Garnier product for quite some time now with above average results. This other product, however, was a disappointment.  First of all, it's too thick. Well, that may be a given because it's cream based. But I checked the other product and the packaging also says cream but it's lighter and thinner. It would have been okay had it had the texture of body butter but it didn't. It was reminiscent of Pond's old whitening creams. Because it's thick, you can expect it to be heavy on your face. Add to the fact that it's sweltering summer here so that can get pretty uncomfortable a...

I've tried different brands of clear polish - Caronia, Bobbie, The Face Shop, Etude House, Elianto. I don't like the first two ones. I've used TFS for a few years then I discovered Etude House. But Etude House is so far, far away and I don't want to go there just to buy one bottle of clear polish. Thank God I tried Elianto! TFS Clear Polish becomes thick fast. It's very hard for me to finish a bottle. I usually end up chucking a bottle that still has 1/4 product in it just because it's already too thick. I got to finish Etude House's because it's a small bottle but even that got thick. Elianto on the other hand has a very thin consistency. It's so thin that it drips so you'd have to be very careful. Make sure that you only have enough on the brush otherwise you're nails will be filled with clear polish or worse, you'll get your nail polish ruined.  It dries up quite fast. I've been using this for a few weeks now and there's no ...

Yes, yes, I know that the Garnier Brightening Eye Roll-On has been reviewed by different bloggers so many times but I will give you 3 different points of view here. First, my mom's. She's in her late 50's and she bugged my sister to buy her this. She wanted to erase all those years of OT (and months of Cafe World until midnight) from her under eyes. Well, she got her wish but she's only halfway there. She said that the bags are now thinner and they are less inflamed. I agree. That area also lightened considerably. Mom gives this a 3 out of 5 stars. Next, a man's point of view: MB. MB has really dark areas under his eyes. If you have a programmer/computer junkie/computer engineer for a friend/relative, you'd know exactly what I'm talking about. The eye bags are not that prominent but they're there. He hasn''t been religiously applying this product but I did notice some results. He said that he still needs to see some results. I can say that hi...
