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...

Kiko Mizuhara Plastic Surgery

Image
Personally, I don’t think she has but if she did I want the doctor’s contact information. Thanks. By the way this is a long ass post, so grab a drink and make yourself comfy. Anyway, when people say that Kiko had plastic surgery done, they always show the same photos. Which is weird because Kiko has been modelling since she was 13. She’s got to have a lot of photos to choose from but we always see the same ones. It seems that people have been posting/choosing bad photos on purpose to prove their point. We’ll take a look at what this websites says (because it’s the top result when you search for Kiko Mizuhara plastic surgery) http://plasticsurgeryexamples.blogspot.com/2013/08/kiko-mizuhara-plastic-surgery.html Jaw Line / Chin Bone Line Exhibit A This picture says that she has jaw line / chin bone surgery because her jaw is now more defined. While Kiko has always been on the skinny side; her weight has actually been fluctuating when she was younger (she previou...

R.A. 10863 Customs Modernization & Tariff Act and AliExpress to Philippines

Image
I will be talking about my past experience with PHLPost and customs, so if you want to go straight to AliExpress, just scroll down below. For the past several years, I avoided having items shipped through PHLPost whenever I can to avoid customs inspection. Customs here in the Philippines is notoriously corrupt and there are a lot of horror stories of people getting charged absurd tax rates. Just google it and you'll see there are no shortage of angry anecdotes online. I do have my own unpleasant experience myself. Some years ago, I bought eyeglasses at some website based outside the Philippines. The price was cheaper than what I would usually get here (that includes getting the thin lenses and having it multi-coated). At the time, I previously purchased a few items internationally. I did get taxed but it was was somewhat reasonable (I can't remember exactly, but it was less than half the parcel price) so I expected I the taxes I have to pay would be about half th...

Kiko Mizuhara Filmography TV Drama Series

Image
Please don’t ask me for links where to watch. 2013 NHK Yae no Sakura 八重の桜 Played the role of  Ōyama Sutematsu  (大山捨松); a prominent social figure during the Meiji era. 2014 NHK Shitsuren Chocolatier 失恋ショコラティエ Played the role of Kato Erena (加藤 えれな). I watched this one. She and Souta (the male lead played by Matsumoto Jun) are both frustrated from having unrequited loves and they ended up becoming fuck buddies. Erena ended up catching up feelings for Souta. 2014 Nobunaga Concerto 信長協奏曲 Played the role of Oichi (お市). She’s the younger sister of Nobunaga Oda . I can’t remember much, Kiko’s role was very minor she only appeared prominently in one or two episodes then just bits and pieces after that. To resolve a conflict she had to marry into some clan which was sad because she and Tsuneoki (one of Nobunaga/Saburo’s followers) had a little something going on. Nothing major but there was an obvious attraction. Anyway, she did end up falling in love with her hu...

Fiancee Pure Shampoo Body Mist Eau De Cologne Review

Image
Just a quick shoutout to one of my favorite scents Fiancee Pure Shampoo Body Mist Eau De Cologne Fiancee Pure Shampoo Body Mist Eau De Cologne I think each person has a unique smell which is not unpleasant (as long as the person is considerably hygienic). So I usually don't like it when someone puts on too much fragrance as it messes up a persons natural smell. Not that I obsess on a persons scent though like this guy However I find Fiancee Pure Shampoo Body Mist  quite pleasant. It really does smell like someone who just took a bath (and shampooed their hair). The scent is very faint after 3 hours but that's to be expected. It retails at less than $12 in Japan and is actually one of the most popular fragrances there. Here are the notes and ingredients: Top notes Lemon, Green Apple Middle notes Jasmine, Muguet Base note Musk, Wood Ingredients: Ethanol, water, DPG(DIPROPYLENE glycol), perfume/fragrance Back of the bottle containing generic informa...
