Hair Ironing with Wet Straight Pro

This baby was bought last December 2010 as a Christmas gift for myself. Hehehe… I thought of owning a durable hair straightening iron that won’t damage my hair. After seeing this product on sale, I bought to try it. This iron has titanium plates which conduct heat faster, evenly and is light weight. Also, it has six temperature settings to choose from. The low temperature is for dry or thin hair and the high temperature is for wet or thick hair. Yes, you may use it to iron your wet hair. Compared to ironing it with dry and wet hair, I prefer to iron it on wet hair. Why? The result is much better. The hair straightens easily and it shines. Hair ironed when wet lasts its results for a longer period compared to dry. It doesn’t only straighten your hair, it can also be used to create beautiful waves or curls once you’ve mastered the technique to use it. To prolong the desired result, use a serum or hair spray after styling.

But I have to give you a tip that ironing your hair always may cause it to dry. So, use a deep conditioner or hot oil cream to avoid any damage on your hair or apply a heat protecting spray to your hair before ironing. Aside from that, you have to read the safety manual to know how to use the iron properly and to avoid burns or any accident.

Eyedeal Colour: Avon True Color Eye Shadow in Blushing Raisins Quad

To tell you the truth, I’ve been a Michelle Phan fan for a year. It only started when I saw her make-up tutorial on YouTube. After seeing her tutorial on “Simple and Clean” make-up, I thought that I’d give it a try. So I bought a similar shade that she’s using and got Avon’s eye shadow in Blushing Raisins Quad at an affordable price of Php319.00.

Applying the eye make-up is a bit tricky. But its applicator is user friendly; both ends have its unique purpose for color application. The neutral or earth tone colors are ideal for brown eyes. Its pigments are fine. You may use different combinations from day make up (lighter) to night glam (darker).

I would definitely recommend it to office girls who may want to use it not only when going to office but also to parties and night outs.

Note to self: practice more with eye make-up application to achieve Michelle Phan’s tutorial   look . ^_^

Eye Love You: Etude House’s Eye Cream and Garnier’s Eye Roll-On

Facing the computer for eight hours a day and going through stressful situations may lead you through sleepless nights and yes…dark under eye circles or eye bags appear instantly. To avoid looking haggard and ten years older than my original age, I bought two products to test which will work better for me. Hence, the Etude House’s Eye Cream and Garnier’s Eye Roll On.

Every time I enter Etude House, the store never fails to fascinate me. Not because its walls and counters are colored in pink and it looks like you’re inside a doll house but also with their products. So I chose their cream to address my problem regarding the dark circles. The product is packaged in a cute tube. Its cream is milky white, non-greasy and smells nice. I like it after applying the product due to its moisturizing quality. It’s a bit pricey though. After weeks of use, it has gradually reduced my eye bags. But it’s still there.

Garnier Eye Roll On is famous on magazines and TV commercials, so I bought it right from the counter at Watson’s Department Store. It’s much cheaper compared to the eye cream from Etude House. It looks like a pen with a roll on tip. The liquid-like fluid is cool on the skin when applied. It has SPF to protect your under eye area from sun’s harmful rays that may cause further damage and darkening. Surprisingly, after weeks of use it lightens my under eye area. But the bad side is, I have noticed that my skin has become sensitive. So I discontinued to use it. 

All in all, Etude House will work for my skin and its results would have been better if only I have slept earlier and avoided staying up late same for Garnier. But for the meantime, I should avoid using the eye roll-on due to sensitivity.
