NATURACTOR REVIEW

BEFORE:

this is me after my brows. i only have GT COSMETICS - Moisturizing Cream SPF60 on. (which i absolutely LOVE!) i NEED the SPF since Naturactor doesn't have SPF. 

my overused makeup sponge. AVAILABLE at LuxeKiss. 

i use both 140 and 151.

140- eye area, sides of nose, blemishes

151-face

pointed tip of the makeup sponge for eye area for more defined application

140 and 151 blended!

compare to my before photo! blemishes and dark marks - poof!

AFTER:

full makeup applied 😊

VERDICT:

ADDICTED is an understatement. 

MY REAL KILAY

my Jonas Borces salon experience

it's been long overdue! a trip to the salon. when my roots start to grow that's when i get fussy and well, it's ombre' hair au naturel! haha..

my bestfriend has been taking trips to the Jonas Borces Salon, located at Nasipit, Talamban, Cebu City. i decided to give it a try! i've heard about Jonas Borces and read about him, a very talented person indeed! though he was in the salon, i was shy to meet him. hehe.. they are famous for their HAIR REBONDS! which i asked was for P1800 for all lengths.

i love the nice vibe of the parlor! clean and simple! my parlorista, who i forgot to ask her name, was fast, and she knew what she was doing!

okay, that's me, taking a selfie while looking crazy..

 i decided to have a manicure to kill the time and i opted for zebra print nail stickers. it's an additional P100 for the P100 labor for cleaning..

which i quickly regretted because it only lasted until i made dinner. haha. but my attendee did a very good job of cleaning my fingernails!

my hair retouching (2-3 inches) by the way, took about 40minutes to an hour after application, and cost me P650

ASTRONAUT!!
i decided to try the treatment, i forgot the name, it sounded swedish or something. as recommended by my best friend. after my parlorista washed my hair color, she applied the treatment serum, which only cost me P200 by the way. after the treatment, i immediately saw the effect! my hair felt super soft!

AFTER!

i didn't go for rebonding my hair yet! i decided to give it a try! i had my hair ironed FLAT for P80 and well, i'm not sure how i like it. haha. what do you guys think? if i do go for rebonding my hair, i guess i'll wait a little longer for my hair to grow grow grow!


it was a lazy monday afternoon, and cost me P1050! and i'm super happy!! :) tipped my


VERDICT: i am sooo coming back to Jonas Borces! til the next time my hair roots annoy me!

NAKED BASICS

i got terribly bored while waiting for hubby for our sunday dinner out so i had a lot of extra time for make-up playtime! i used ALL of the NAKED BASICS colors and i absolutely loved them! i still need more practice though. 

after blending and contouring i put on black liquid liner from maybelline and falsies and i'm good to go!

FACE: naturactor 140 + mac studio fix blot powder medium dark, naked flushed blush, contour and highlight

EYES: Urban Decay Naked Basics

Maybelline Liquid Liner

BROWS: MUFE aqua brow #25

BROKEN MAKE-UP - Alcohol Fix - Success!

so my friend accidentally dropped her MAC Studio Fix + SPF15 Foundation last night when we went clubbing. it was totally wrecked when we opened it and she just wanted to throw it away. but i said it's still worth saving!

read about this trick on google, even michelle phan did this too! 👍

BEFORE:

DURING:

made it finer with a spoon! dinurog pa ng todo! 

i forgot to tak a photo while mixing, it was too much fun! what i did was add alcohol slowly. careful not to make it too dense. after i got a muddy texture, i covered with cling wrap to press and smoothen

still wet! and then after a few hours-

AFTER:

good as new!!! well, not as smooth and has cracks on the uneven pressing but works just as well as it did before!! still smells like alcohol but all is well!

not drying on my face at all!!

if it bothers you to much, just throw it away! but if it can still be saved, why not! 😊 hope this helps!

Pond's Cold Cream - Makeup Remover - REVIEW

when i was a little girl, i have already seen this jar. my mom has been religiously using this and the tradition has passed on. and now i know why! it's just the best thing to use for removing makeup!

even when it's best to wash your face, sometimes my eyeliner and mascara hurts my eyes while i wash, this makes it effortless!

one of the biggest makeup sins we commit is sleeping with makeup on! i always do this though. haha.  which i know is a big NO-NO! anyway, read on for more info about this jar!

HOW I USE IT:

1. i scoop out an ample amount on my fingers and then spread on my face and neck. especially around my eyes.

2. i let it stay on my face for a few minutes (i think this moisturizes and softens the makeup more)

3. wipe off with tissue (facial tissue works best) on half of my face using outward strokes. starting with the face, nose, neck and lastly, the eyes. (you don't need to wipe off too hard!)

- and VIOLA! make up free and moisturized!

also- for removing lipstick!

erased makeup on half of my face! no mascara and eyeliner today tho, i'll add in how well it works with eyeliner and mascara soon!

WHY I LOVE IT:

- for nights when i'm just too lazy to wash my face, it's so easy to do even when lying down on my bed and i'm good to sleep!

- won't sting my eyes. remember that Eskinol feel where you can't even open your eyes yet until it dries? doesn't happen with this jar!

- MOISTURIZING effect! my skin feels loved even until i wake up in the morning! i cannot stress this more. moisturizing is the most important step everyday. i'm obsessed with moisturizing. even when it's so humid in the Philippines!

WHERE TO BUY:
