Fragrance Mists and Body Mists Review

I tend to acquire decants and samples when I'm in a midst of a crash out (I'd buy actual perfumes whenever I'm in dire mental straits if my funds allow me but it does not!), so might as well put my quick thoughts about them. I'll try to update this list as I try new ones. Bath & Body Works ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ (I have repurchased these) Wild Honeysuckle - FANTASTIC! One of their more complex fragrances that I've tried. Honey right out of the gate. Smells briefly of kisses (type of aroma beads that was popular in the 90s). Then you get a burst of overwhelming jasmine flowers before settling in to subtle medley of florals. Disappointing longevity however, even for a fragrance mist. Wish I could find something that smells the same but would stay much longer. Moonlight Path  - Smells like powdery, musky flowers. Some people would say old lady perfume but this is actually one of my favorites. THE PERFECT BEDTIME SCENT! One thing I've learned is scents either get reformulat...

Canmake Marshmallow Finish Powder - Matte Ochre Review

Image
Today, I will be writing about my favorite compact powder, Canmake Marshmallow Finish Powder. When I bought this, I didn't really think too much about it. I was just looking for a cute (and cheap) powder compact and this one fits the bill. I got it in the Matte Ochre shade, which is just perfect for my skin. Canmake Marshmallow Finish Powder Upon looking at Canmake's website , here's a list of notable things about this powder: - has an additive free formulation that can easily be removed with ordinary facial wash - free from surfactants, tar-based pigments, alcohol and fragrance - absorbs sebum and makes make-up last longer - has moisturizing agents like aloe vera leaf extract, rosemary extract, chamomile extract, lemon extract - has toning agents (for skin firmness) like horse chestnut extract, perilla (shiso) leaf extract - has emollient agents (for smooth skin) like squalane, olive oil, jojoba oil, grape seed oil - has two different sized spher...

Isehan Kiss Me Heavy Rotation Colouring Eyebrow 03 Ash Brown Review

Image
I've bleached my hair over a week ago, and one thing that I've thought about is if I should bleach my eyebrows too. Usually, people would want to colour their eyebrows the same colour as their hair so it would look more natural, however the 'contrasting eyebrow' can also look really cool and edgy, so I decided to stick with my natural eyebrow colour. Also, I don't think I can fool anyone that my hair is naturally light anyway, lol. Well, I'm not too worried since I can always use Heavy Rotation Colouring Eyebrow to lighten up my brows whenever I feel like it. (Note: Don't expect your eyebrow colour to go many shades lighter especially if your eyebrows are dark to begin with. I just find that it while it colours the eyebrows quite subtlety it still makes dark brows less overpowering).   Heavy Rotation Colouring Eyebrow - 03 Ash Brown Anyway, I've been using Heavy Rotation Colouring Eyebrow in Ash Brown for a while now (even before bleaching my ha...

Kose Happy Bath Day Precious Rose Body Powder Review

Image
I'm not really into body powders, but the packaging of Kose Happy Bath Day Precious Rose Body Powder is just too cute to pass up. Kose Happy Bath Day Precious Rose Body Powder I'm not into roses too so I was quite relieved that the smell goes on subtle when applied to your skin. The mild rose scent also stays for quite some time (I live in a tropical country, so I'm impressed!). I'm not sure if this is a Japanese thing, but I see a lot of Japanese brands carrying rose scented products. Pink Powder Puff It has a really cute pink powder puff that is a little hard to grab on to. It felt weird pinching the ribbon in order to use the puff. I would have liked it better if there was somewhere I could slip my fingers on the puff. I was trying to pry off the separator because I wanted to reuse the container after the powder runs out, but I can't (although I didn't try too hard, at the risk of spilling the contents and make the powder fly all around ...

Kao Liese Prettia Bubble Hair Dye Marshmallow Brown Review

Image
When dyeing my hair, I always go for reds/wines but always hated how the red tint fades away so fast. I haven't dyed my hair in ages so I've decided to dye my hair using Liese Prettia Bubble Hair Dye in Marshmallow Brown. Liese Prettia Bubble Hair Dye in Marshmallow Brown I've seen my sister use Etude House Bubble Hair Dye before and I wasn't really impressed with the result. The colour was just too subtle for my liking, so I had my doubts about using bubble hair dyes. Still, using bubble hair dyes just seems so much easier (especially with regards to making sure the colour is even throughout the hair) than regular dyes so I really want to try it out. At the back of the box shows a chart of how the result should look like depending on your current hair colour (which I forgot to take a picture of). My natural hair colour is somewhere between the darkest colour and the second darkest colour on the back of the box, and the promised result seems bright enough...

Canmake Cream Cheek - 13 Love Peach Review

Image
I have the Canmake Cream Cheek sitting in my room for around two weeks now (along with Perfect Serum BB Cream and Marshmallow Finish Powder - will update links later), but haven't gotten around using the cream cheek until recently. I used to like using gel/liquid blushes when I was in my early teens but somehow outgrew it and rarely used blush in the recent years. Anyway, here are my thoughts on Canmake Cream Cheek (Love Peach): Canmake Cream Cheek in 13 Love Peach The colour looks like a warm pink on the package, so I was quite surprised how it is more of a pale pink colour on my cheeks. The colour I have on my cheeks is what I would expect from their 'Marshmallow Pink' shade (see chart below for reference) from: http://www.canmake.com/en/ebase/item_base025.html I didn't expect pale pink would suit me, so I'm not really complaining even if specifically bought 'Love Peach' thinking it will give a nice pink with a hint of peach. ...

Japanese and Korean Grocery Stores in Cartimar

Image
Classes were dismissed early yesterday and I don't want to go home yet. I've been searching for a particular Korean frozen treat '뽕따 (Bbong Ddah)' and since I heard that there are a few Japanese and Korean grocery stores inside Cartimar, I decided to go there. I don't know how to go to Cartimar. The only time I went there was to buy a puppy when I was a kid and I was with my dad and we had a car. I texted my sister for help and thanks to Google, she was able to give me directions. From school (in Sta. Mesa Manila), I rode a jeep en route to 'Divisoria'. Instead of going inside the LRT line 2 Recto station (the line 2 Recto station and line 1 Doroteo Jose station are connected), I got off at Avenida and decided to walk until I reach Carriedo station. I wanted to go first to a shop in Avenida wherein they're selling various odds and ends from Japan, but I decided against it since I don't want to come up short during grocery shopping (food is more ...
