LIPBALM addiction!

I am starting to develop a new addiction. LIP BALM ADDICTION!!

First, I bought the TONY MOLY FRESH MINT LIP BALM #02 (in PEPPERMINT).

It is so minty when you apply it to your lips. I love the cooling sensation it gives to your lips when you apply it. It also  doesn't have a strong flavor.
I also use this a base to my cream lipcolors.



Sorry for the faded label. (I've been using this a lot and this is my favourite nowadays.)

It used to look like this. :) 


Back part 






Then I also bought LIPSMACKER lipbalm. I love the three flavors: SUGARED PLUM, VANILLA SUGAR COOKIE and PEPPERMINT FROST. I love the sweet but not so sugar-y flavours of these three :) It gives lasting moisture to my lips and it does stay long for a long time.   














My addiction to lippies never seem to cease. ^_^

REVIEW: L'OREAL NEVER FAIL INFALLIBLE LIPSTICK: A total WASTE of money.

ARGH!! I feel so bad that I bought this. I have been reading negative reviews from other bloggers about this item. Nevertheless, I still wanted this. But after trying L'OREAL NEVER FAIL INFALLIBLE LIPSTICK, I wanna punch myself for wasting money.

I got the L'OREAL NEVER FAIL INFALLIBLE LIPSTICK in #80  - Cinnamon.
This retails at around 900+ pesos.

The sleek case:) 




Comes in with the LIP COLOR/BASE COAT (1) and a TOP COAT (2)










I bought the # 80 - Cinnamon. This is the lip color/base coat




TOP COAT






Price: 
900+pesos at your local department store
         500+pesos online

What it promises:
1. Long and lasting color
2. Creamy and conditioning
3. High definition color
4. 16 hour lipcolour
5. Lightweight colour that won't flake or wear out


THE VERDICT: I am sooooooooooooo DISAPPOINTED! 


THE TRUTH IS: 
1. When I applied the Lipcolor/base coat, the texture was terrible. It was so difficult to apply. Does not glide smoothly on the lips. 


2. The lipcolor does not cover all parts of the lips. It was difficult to apply and it was absolutely FLAKY. The color was so uneven that I felt like I was cheated when I saw how it looked like on my lips.


3. The top coat was okay. It had a fruit-y, lipbalm-taste. 


4. I gave the item another shot but this time I applied a lip balm instead of the top coat. I still got the same result. Flaky and difficult to apply. 


5. I gave the item another shot. I first applied a lipbalm as my base. Then I applied the lipcolor then I put on the top coat. STILL THE SAME FLAKY RESULT.


6. And the 16-hour lipcolor?? I did not even have a chance to check it out because I could not go out of the house my lips looking so ugly. 






Here are the pictures of my lips using L'OREAL NEVER FAIL INFALLIBLE LIPSTICK.
Pardon me for my not-so-goodlooking lips and facial hairs. But I was born that way :)

My Lips without any lip balm/lipstick/lip color



My lips using L'OREAL NEVER FAIL INFALLIBLE LIPSTICK lipcolor #80 - Cinnamon 
Look at the uneven color and flaky parts. 



My lips using L'OREAL NEVER FAIL INFALLIBLE LIPSTICK lip color #80 - Cinnamon and the Top coat. Still the same look. 

It was really a waste of money. I cannot even give this item to others since it's a MAJOR disappointment.


What I love: 
1. The Packaging. It comes in a sleek, compact silver case that can also serve as a mirror and good thing it was nice.

Anyways, life is just a series of trials and errors. Same goes with make-up ^_^

REVIEW: PRETTY MODEL SLIMMING CAPSULES

It's the freakin' time of the year again.
The time of the year when almost everybody flaunt those flat abs and toned butts.
It's already MARCH and I still have my post-Christmas party body.
Time to shed these baby fats again. Ugh!


2 years ago I tried using PEARL WHITE SLIMMING CAPSULES.



This was the one I tried before. I honestly GOT THIN within a few days of taking the capsules. I stopped when I reached my desired weight. The problem was when I tried taking this again, I was already having terrible headaches. So I decided to look for another option. 



I also took the FASHION NATURE SLIMMING COFFEE but I think this wasn't "strong" enough to make me thin. 


Then came PRETTY MODEL SLIMMING CAPSULES.
I saw this online and a lot of Facebook users were making comments that PRETTY MODEL SLIMMING CAPSULES is 101% effective. 


This is the box. Is that Jessica Alba? 



The label. 





The box contains twenty capsules. 10 capsules in each foil packs. 



The capsules 



Here's the "drug literature" found inside the box. 


Wrong spellings and tons of grammatical errors. Not a big problem :) 

I dunno what "OLDEN EMPEROR AWARD" is. But according to what is written on the box, this slimming cap won a GOLDEN EMPEROR AWARD. I tried to research it but I did not find anything.



What it promises: 
SOFT DELICATE WAIST (I never thought that our waist could be so delicate) 
FLAT ABDOMEN
FIRM RAISING BUTTOCKS (I hope my buttocks would still look normal) 
SLENDER THIGH
LONG SLENDER CALF
SLENDER ARM
ELEGANT FACE
SUPER EXCELLENT FIGURE (hope I would look like Jessica Alba after taking this)

(*This was the same instruction I got when I was taking PEARL WHITE SLIMMING CAPSULES and FASHION NATURE SLIMMING COFFEE - I am guessing there is only one manufacturer of these products)

I'll be updating you guys with this. I haven't tried this yet because my boyfriend will be coming over at our house tomorrow (or just few hours from now). I will be eating many stuff and I don't want the food to be put to waste (*evil laugh*) 


****UPDATE:
I am a bit too late for this update :( 

UPDATE: 

My INITIAL WEIGHT: 55kg
After 20 days of taking the PRETTY MODEL SLIMMING CAPSULES: 51kg
I lost: 4 kg in 20 days. 

Hmm... not bad. 
But honestly, though I lost some weight, I haven't noticed it. Nobody noticed it. :( 

I think I would still prefer PEARL WHITE SLIMMING CAPSULES over this. 
Unlike PEARL WHITE SLIMMING CAPSULES, the 'loss of appetite'- effect of PRETTY MODEL SLIMMING CAPSULES disappears after you miss one capsule. In short, you must take this religiously to really lose weight. (Which I think affected the small weight loss I had.) 

Hmmm,, I gues I have to go back to exercise and diet again.
