Rowenta Fail, BaByliss Yey!

I'm into hair styling lately that I even stay up late on weekends (and sometimes weekdays) just to watch hair styling tutorials on youtube. I envy girls who have style-able hair because I got mine permanently blowdried so it gets straight after a few hours if I curl it. Anywayyy, here are some of the electronics I used.

First, I bought this Rowenta Curler/Blow Dryer because I thought it would give me nice, big curls at the bottom. Boy, was I wrong! At first you thought it would rotate on its own. Well, obviously no. you curl it up by yourself but ultimately, it's like a round brush with air. You could think of it as a blowdryer and also a round brush. Weird, but yea, you get it. 

These are the attachments - one for blowdry, one for small curls or waves and one for big curls/waves.

This is where you attach it too. It's noisy, like super noisy.

What I hate about this is that it doesn't do what it promises, i tried having waves with this and it did not work. Does it really work just to straighten you hair? I don't think so. When I tried to make curls at the end my hair, it tangled up big time. Like I was untangling it for a good 10 minutes because it ate up my hair. I was kind of scared because it might be too tangled that I have to cut my hair. Thank God I got it untangled and the next day, I returned it and replaced it with...


...a real curler. BaByliss is one of the cheaper brands out there, it is cheaper than Rowenta but performs absolutely better. It's a no fuzz hair equipment which is ceramic too so it won't really damage my hair. I also bought a heat protectant which I will blog about soon.

This is a big barrel curler which makes big, wavy, full-volume hair which I always wanted. This heats up super fast and you could also change the temperature whenever you want. Isn't this amazing?

Also, since the Rowenta thing costs more than this baby, I got speakers for only PHP500+! Can you imagine that? Haha!

 Everything in this post, I bought at SM Appliance Center over at Rockwell.

I'm currently using my speakers right now and it's super awesome!

Good night now, it's already 12:34 and I need to sleep! Haha! Good night and hope you enjoyed this post! :)

Silver Frosty Fingers

I've never been interested in frosty nails but this caught my eye. I went to Haya Spa some weekends ago to have my manicure (because they are the cheapest around here) and I noticed that their nail polish collection is getting bigger and they had this color - sorry, I forgot the name - but I think it's a local brand.

I kind of like it. I like a more silver shiny instead of a silver frosty type but this works. I'm looking for a gold one that doesn't look cheap. Hehe.

Help? What do you think?

Goody Goody

I've been Goody shopping lately and it has its ups and downs. First, here's the famous Spin Pin Mini. I hate myself for buying this because I got the mini one instead of the the long ones. I thought this would be better because it's three pieces but my hair keeps on falling. The hold is good but the last five inches of my hair falls out and it sucks because the only thing I want to do with this is to bun all my hair, not half bun, not three small buns (like at the back of the packaging), just one giant, fabulous bun. Bummer! Anyway, here it is..

 

 A bit expensive at PHP499.75, no?

See the top flap of hair on top? That usually falls down after a few seconds, I hate myself.

Next are some Goody Ouchless Hair Ties. I got 29 pieces for only PHP229.75. Not bad, if it's Goody, right? I've been using this for like a month now and I use hair tie number 1 which I lost after a day. WOW! So I used hair tie number 2 which I am still using up to now. It doesn't stretch easily like other brands and the no-metal thing is working nicely. It doesn't eat my hair up and when I take the tie out, no hair strands coming out too! Yey for that! I hope the other 27 pieces don't crack out. 

No metals!

 Last but not the least, my ultimate favorite, my new Goody Styling Therapy Brush. It says that it reduces dandruff, well, I seriously noticed that there are no more visible flakes but I'm not sure if it's because I also switched shampoos. Maybe both are working? Yey if that's the case! Seriously, this makes my morning hair routine easier, very easy to use, takes out the tangles easily, massages my hair, and hopefully, reduces my dandruff.

I know this is a bit expensive for a brush (but hey, Denmark I think is at PHP1,000) but it really works. They also have other "therapies" in this line like to add shine or volume to hair. Check out PCX for these. I think Landmark and other department stores carry Goody too. 

If I ever lose this brush, I swear I will search high and low, buy online or whatever because this works for me and this is a no-regret buy.

I talk to much sometimes. Lol. What do you think? Do you love Goody as much as I do? Do tell!

Bobbi Brown Natural Brow Shaper & Hair Touch Up

For the make-up gurus, gods and goddesses, doing their brows is such an easy job, it's annoying. Haha! Kidding. For me, sometimes I get it right, sometimes I don't so for those times that I need to hurry and want to get perfect brows, this is my go to product: The Bobbi Brown Natural Brow Shaper & Hair Touch Up. This is heaven sent, it makes your brows in place without any fuss, adds color, makes it fuller and it's such an easy task.

My color is apparently Rich Brown in #6. This is PHP1,300 a tube and comes with a wand/spoolie type - like a normal mascara brush. This is actually a mascara for the brows. It shapes it and keeps the hair in place.

This is the outcome and I love it! It's full, stays for a long time. However, when I have a lot of time to prepare, I still use my In2It Waterproof Eyebrow Colour. I use my eyebrow brush from Charm Pro because it works like magic and does an amazing job and then after that, I apply a light coat of this brow mascara to keep it in place.

Have you ever tried a brow mascara? Spill!

Bobbi Brown Rich Lip Color in Bare Pink, Guava and Mod Pink

Hello there! I'm back from the dead! I know I've been M.I.A lately and that's because I've been really busy with work. Yes, not school - but work. Anyway, I also lost the urge to write for some weird reason. I seriously don't know why but that's what happened. Now that I'm back, I hope this continues because I have a lot of stuff to share with all of you guys!

First, is the ever delayed post on my Bobbi Brown Rich Lip Color in 3 shades. I do have five which includes Cosmic Raspberry and Soft Coral.

First off, I would like to show you guys Bare Pink which is as natural as a lipstick gets. It's more of a nude shade, not really lip color because my natural lip color is pink and this is like beige-y type.

This is how it looks like - very natural and very simple. Best when you have grand eyes and or bright cheeks! Something I would wear everyday.

Next is Guava which a bright pink/orange color.

See what I mean?

It's definitely bright. I would wear this with a clean, fresh face without the redness, strong brows, and a brown shade of eyeshadow. This is so summer! I love it and it's one of the brightest colors I have.

Next is Mod Pink which is one of Cosmo's top pink lipstick in their annual Beauty Awards. And seriously, it does not fall short when it comes to the color payoff.

I couldn't get a decent picture close to the real deal and this is the closest one I got. Sorry if it's a bit blurry. Anyway, this is how it looks like on me.

This is one of my go to pink lipsticks because it's a barbie pink but not a loud one like NARS Schiap or those other bright pinks. This is obviously very wearable and something you could pair with any outfit, anytime anywhere! Love, love it!

For buying all that, I of course got freebies!

Both are free from Bobbi Brown and they are all so nice! Imagine, I got a palette! I don't think this is even a real freebie because it's a palette! The colors are nice and very pigmented, seriously! The blush is my favorite. One swipe and it's perfect!

 The other one I got is an eye cream or a base for concealer! Perfect. Doesn't make it oily or makes the make up melt. There's really nothing bad I can say for Bobbi Brown products!

Here are some photos of the lipsticks:
