REVIEW: Etude House Black Head Heating Deep Cleaning Gel and Etude House Black Head Pore Tightening Essence

I am trying to finish ALL the skin care products that I have for the next 6 months so I could buy new ones. ;]

Among my remaining stocks are Etude House Black Head Heating Deep Cleaning Gel and Etude House Black Head Pore Tightening Essence which I bought last year from an Etude House store. I was enticed to buy them together because first, they were on sale and second, the saleslady said these products are good for 'vanishing' blackheads. I got a lot of those blackheads so I decided to purchase them. 

I have almost forgotten about them. 

I'll be doing a review for these two products:
1. Etude House Black Head Deep Cleaning Gel 
2. Etude House Black Head Pore Tightening Essence

REVIEW: REVLON Colorburst Lipgloss - Sunset Peach, Hot Pink, Crystal Lilac, and Fire

I am not into lipgloss because I lips feel oily, sticky, and heavy on my lips. I have tried a lot of lip gloss and they felt like butter. But if they are given for free, well I would be glad to use them! :)


I got four shades of Revlon Coloburst Lipgloss from my mom and I'll be showing you the swatches. 

REVIEW: PERIPERA Waterproof Pencil Gel Liner Kit

Though I have monolid eyes, I still adore eyeliners. Monolid means there is no prominent crease on my eyelids. 

I have tons of eyeliners that I haven't used because my eyes do not have creases on its lids and next, my eyelids are too oily. The eyeliners would just smudge after an hour or two. Then I start to look like this:

The Product: PERIPERA Waterproof Pencil Gel Liner Kit

DIY: Notepads

It's the Chinese New Year and I am stuck here at home since my husband is at work. I'm still happy though because I can have time to do some DIY (do-it-yourself) projects that I've been waiting to do. :) 


Aside from BB creams, I love doing DIY projects. Actually, during my wedding, my bouquet and my bridesmaids' bouquets were all made from paper and were all made by me (*proud smile*)

Here are some photos of my DIY bouquet:

This was mine :) 

I will be making a separate blog about this. 


But for now, I will be blogging about my do-it-yourself NOTEPADS. When I found out how to make my own notepad, it saved me a lot of money but the best part is, I was able to save a lot of paper. 


Here are the things I use in make the DIY notepads:

1. Used paper (I have a lot of those - all of them were from the office.) 
2. Tongue depressor (I had those left over tongue depressor from my wedding. You can use any similar items such as ruler or Popsicle sticks.) 
3. Huge Paper clips
4. Scissors (but I prefer using a cutter)
5. Padding glue 

REVIEW: Nature Republic Green Tea Cleansing Cream

I'm back again :) I am so dying to do a lot of reviews for the products that I have (and currently using) but I just couldn't find time to do them :(
If you love putting on BB cream + concealer + foundation, washing your face with soap (or facial foam) and water is not enough to remove them all at the end of the  day. A good cleansing cream is really a must. 

Here's my review review of -  Nature Republic Green Tea Cleansing Cream. 


The Product: Nature Republic Green Tea Cleansing Cream
-It's a cleansing cream from Nature Republic. 
- Nature Republic has a lot of cleansing cream. For this line, I think they have GREEN TEA, OLIVE, ALOE, CHAMOMILE, and RICE BRAN. 

Product Description: 
* Contains green tea extract 1,000 ppm (I am so sorry guys, no idea what "ppm" means.) 
* Contains green tea to cleanse and to have a smooth and transparent skin. 
* Natural ingredients remove various skin impurities clearly. 
* Remains moisturized skin to create healthy skin after cleansing.

REVIEW: Etude House Color my Brows #5 Blondie Brown

I am such a newbie when it comes to fixing my eyebrows. I admire people who are so skilled at 'drawing' their own eyebrows. The only thing I could to is to color them :) 

There was a time that I wanted to color my eyebrows using hair dye. Good thing I didn't or else I would look like Miley Cyrus when she bleached her eyebrows. 

And this is NOT the kind of eyebrows that I want

http://www.fashionmagazine.com/beauty/2013/11/20/miley-cyrus-bleached-eyebrows/

I am so glad that browcara was invented. I was a bit amused with the term 'browcara' (there's a big smile on my face right now). I don't know where that word came from but this is what we put to color our eyebrows temporarily. 

Here's my review of Etude House Color my Brows #5 Blondie Brown.

Product Name: Etude House Color my Brows 
Shade: Comes in 5 shades - For this review, I have the #5 Blondie Brown 
Price Tag: PhP 255 from my favorite online shop, Han Ryu. I am just not quite sure how much it is in Etude House shops.
