Walkthrough Review: Skin Station's Painless Diode Laser Hair Removal (4th session)

As promised here's my update on my fourth session of the laser diode treatment. ;-)

Review: IN2IT Waterproof Eyebrow Powder

Filling my brows is a very important part of my routine. I have thick brows but there are areas with sparse hair. Now I found a brow powder that's super good but won't hurt pockets!

It's the much-raved IN2IT's Waterproof Eyebrow Powder.

Review: MAC lipstick in Lustering

This is most definitely my favorite pink lipstick right now. There's really no need for an introduction. I know you guys perfectly know this classic bullet-looking lipstick. ;)

Walkthrough Review: Skin Station's Painless Diode Laser Hair Removal (1st session)

I've been wanting to have laser diode done on my underarms for the longest time. From what I've read it is more effective than IPL (Intense Pulse Light), so when Skin Station held a promo for their laser diode treatment I immediately availed. I paid 5,000 pesos for 8 sessions. It was such a steal!

But the question is, is it worth it?

Review: Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Creme Brulee

The Revlon Colorburst lip butter line was  released back in 2011. It quickly became popular because it was moisturizing and amazingly pigmented! 

Quick Review: Silk Secrets Oil Control Sheet

I ran out of my Clean and Clear Oil Control Film so I went to Watsons to repurchase. But when I got there I saw other brands that were cheaper and yet contain twice the number of sheets compared to Clean and Clear. I got curious so I picked this one from Silk Secrets just to give it a try. 

Brow Design at The Brow Studio

I've always passed by these brows salons in malls and I never thought I needed to walk in. I have natural thick brows that looked like it can be managed with a little tweezing here and there. I didn't know what came over me but yesterday when I passed by The Brow Studio in SM The Block I thought I should try it. 

Review: Lancome Color Design Eye Shadow in Drama

Purple eye shadows can be tricky. If done wrong it may look like someone gave you a black eye or you can look clownish! I remember when I was young I saw this lady with purple eye shadow and she looked like someone gave her a beating! From then on I had this mentality that purple eye shadows are a no-go.

But today it's a whole different scenario because now we have new products coming in that are of great quality and of course there's Internet and Youtube to teach women how to properly apply makeup. Yay! :-D

Purple eye shadows are gorgeous for events and special occasions, especially when it complements the  color of the outfit. This purple shade from Lancome is not like any other. It's slightly duochrome!

Review: The Balm Hot Mama Blush

Aaand... I'm back!!! As promised I'm back to review stuff for you girlies. I have the perfect blush right here, just in time for summer.

I went to Beauty Bar last December to pick up Mary-Loumanizer, which is a much-raved highlighter from The Balm, but it was sold out! So I asked the sales lady which ones are the most popular from the brand and she mentioned Hot Mama. I've been wanting to get one for the longest time, coz Emily Noel from Youtube said it's a dupe for Nars Orgasm. So I went ahead and bought it.

My new Grendha sandals is ♥

Loving my new Grendha Luna sandals from Ruby & Perry. So stylish I feel like I'm Gisele Bundchen! Lol! I'm getting more into fashion these days. Maybe I should start doing hauls! :)

Christmas Gift Guide For Her!

I'm back! The thing is my laptop gave up on me couple of weeks ago. Now it's repaired although I did lose all my files. Good thing I transferred some important stuff (my thesis!) to my USB before it crashed!

Anyway, just a quick update about the opening of Uniqlo in SM North Edsa The Block. They announced on their Facebook page that they were giving away free planners for all customers who were going to be there before 10:30 am. I was super excited! I wanted that planner! But apparently the planner didn't want me. I arrived at 10:32 am. 2 minutes after the cut off time. :(  Gosh! It was frustrating. They had a successful opening day, though. And the store looked amazing! I wanted a pair of colored pants but the line in the fitting room was too long. I should come back there one of these days.

Enough with my frustration about the planner. As we all know Christmas is fast approaching and I know how hard it is to come up with the perfect gift to give your special someone. So here is my Christmas gift guide for HER! It can be your wife, girlfriend, sister, daughter or girl best friend.

1. iPad Mini, iPad 4 and Samsung Galaxy Note 2

Girls love gadgets too!

The iPad mini is so light at 0.68 lbs and has a 7.9-inch display. It's very portable and does everything that the bigger iPad can do. It's not a retina display though and the processor is the same as the one found in iPad 2. But the $329 price tag makes it worth it and perfect to give as a gift!

But if you have the budget I'd still recommend the 9.7-inch iPad 4. It has the retina display and Apple's fastest processor to date; the A6x. Plus, if I want a smaller iPad I'd rather buy a phablet like the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 which is so smart and amazing!
