Application for Symbian S60 phones *heavy pictures*

Hi, I’m back again with another non-beauty related post. Sorry for posting another non-beauty related things here but I am trying to make my blog as informative as possible, in all aspect ^_^

Recently, my friend shared a very nice application for my cellphone since we do have the same unit. For my new followers, the phone that I’m currently using is Nokia E5. I really love this phone because it’s cheap and it’s so me. Anyway, I would like to share this application to you.

ISMS APPLICATION 
(works for Symbian S60 phones, click here to know if your fone is symbian s60)

You can download the application at Nokia Ovi Store.

This applications offer thread messaging style for sms like those on iphones and blackberry. Threaded messaging displays both sides of a text messaging (SMS) conversation on one screen, in chronological order. In this way it also groups messages from the same person together.
It also supports drag and drop, Fake SMS, schedule your messages (this means that you can time stamp your messages and the message will be dispatched at that particular time which you have already set. That can be quite a useful feature if you tend to forget things) syncing with Nokia’s default SMS manager, autostart and display them in speech bubbles.

Identify Type of Skin

What type of skin of our face, how to identify it?

Why it is important to know what type of skin before taking any decision on cleaning the face, because it will depend to protect products, should be borne in mind that any wrong decision taken can have unfortunate consequences.

Until a few decades only spoke of three types of skin, but advances in Dermatology and Cosmetology has broadened the spectrum, with the following which better cover:
I. Normal. usually has smooth appearance and soft texture , thanks to the thin layer of fat on the surface that fails to give oily sheen. This well-hydrated and is characterized by tiny and closed pores, which prevents the formation of blackheads and impurities not have flaking or the resulting sensation. This is the skin less common in adults, because the body is continually changing.

II. Seca. This type of skin moisture and generally does not have its pores are thin, which gives an opaque appearance , it is rough to the touch, easy peeling and irritation, more prone to cracking and aging rapidly. Avoid using soaps and products that increase the dryness, while creams and makeup removers should be hydrating and nourishing.

III. Fat. It is characterized by reddish in certain areas and / or pale yellow in others, they look heavy, there is excessive shine and pimples and blackheads (also in back, chest and arms), because the sebaceous glands produce excess fat , which causes obstruction of the pores, usually open, and make-up drain. Without proper care, you can see lumps of fat and black spots, which consist of self-secretion of fat which has been oxidized by contact with the outside.

This type of skin ages more slowly, because it is more resistant to external agents through the fat layer generated. Careful hygiene is essential, in addition to ongoing hydration treatment.

IV. Mixed. The look is bright and fat in some regions, for example, called T-zone (forehead, nose and chin), while cheeks and around the eyes are a little dry, in this type of skin pores they become enlarged and there is a tendency to black spots. Note that in the rest of the body the skin is usually normal.

V. Sensible. On its surface is fine nerve fibers that move immediately to the slightest stimulus (sun, pollution and / or cosmetics), signal after being received by the brain is manifested as redness, itching and rash. Tends to be dry and even to cause allergies, so it requires special products called hypoallergenic, it is not uncommon to find people with this problem also have oily skin or dry.

Lastly, it is to remember that if you want your skin look its best all other care must be taken to complement the work products and cosmetics, The fact of not smoke or drink alcohol, and seek daily rest of at least six hours .

In addition to the above recommendations you need to drink 2 to 3 liters of water daily and follow balanced diet, which can be supported with nutritional supplements and multivitamins, so your skin will stay in good condition and will look like you want it to look.

May Collective Haul

Hi ladies! So this post is about a little collective haul that I got throughout the month of May, nothing really special. I don’t usually do hauls of the month but whatever, I feel like doing it! So please bear with me. :) Btw, I got only little stuffs to share with you because I don’t usually buy lots of things especially during summer. No school means no allowance, you know.

So let’s start!

First thing I got are these Celeteque Products because it’s on buy 1 take 1 promo. I tried Celeteque Toner before (alcohol free) and works for me so I decided to try the other products. (note: I will do a detailed review one of these days.. i need more time)

Sorry, I can't remember the prices :(


Celeteque Gentle Exfoliating Facial Wash-I love this! It’s not harsh on skin unlike most facial exfoliating wash

Celeteque Facial Wash- my current favourite facial wash!


Facial Moisturizer

Celeteque Oil Control Toner

Then, I went to Paterno in Quiapo to buy myself new eyeglasses. I prefer eyeglasses more than contact lenses at home ofcourse. I like buying my eyeglasses there because it’s not expensive and the quality is actually good! I got my previous eyeglasses (forgot the name of the store, sorry!) from the same store too and is still in good condition until now. That’s 5 years long! But I decided to buy something new. ;p (Price: around Php 2,000)

This month I also purchased a handbag polish from Sophie Martin Paris. I won’t say it’s great in removing dirts and stains but somehow, it works. Just manage your expectation. It removes dirt on my bags but not ballpen stains. I like using this to polish my shoes too! Price: I think it's Php 150?? not sure. 

This month I also ordered Mac Lippies but not for personal use. I sell them. Originally, I ordered 6 lippies but someone already purchased two lippies

Then, just recently I went on Market Market and purchased few items
Shoe from Milani, (price: Php 899.75) – it’s on sale!

My school shoes from Rusty Lopez (price: Php 899.75) – I know... It looks so high school! Hohoh! BUT I prefer comfy shoes more than beautiful shoes . ;) Plus, I don’t like heels on my school shoes. Hahaha!

And lastly, right after Market Market I went to ECHOSTORE at Serendra to check out Junk Not items. 
Btw, we are not the owner of the Junk Not. My sister’s friend is the one who owns that brand and I think we are the only resellers of this stuff online. Yes, they do have online stores but I think they are not updating it anymore. Oh well. Just to make things clear.

So, anyhow. Here’s the stuff we got at the store.

A recycled bag (from Junk Not) made of newspaper (price: Php 300)

A coin purse made from wrappers (not from Junk Not) (price: Php 150)

A coin purse again made from plastic straws (price: php 100)



A very cute pencils made from newspaper(you can still  see the articles)!  (price: php 35/pack)



Lastly, a ballpen! (php 22)


I love eco products! Let's start saving the World! Use eco friendly products as much as possible. okay? :)

Other stuffs I got during the month of May:

Zen Organics Goat Milk Body Lotion

Zen Lip Balm, Php 75.00

Zen Glutathione cream

Zen Barako Coffee Body Scrub! Smells heavenly!

Zen Organic Oatmeal Soap i like this more than Venus and Mars soap because it's not harsh on skin and feels soft and smooth on my skin

Olay Body Lotions and Body Bath you can find this at Market Market 

Ever Bilena Pro-Leg Makeup (did not works for me!) Atleast I got it on sale.



Ever Bilena Pink Petal Blush, Php 110The color once applied on cheeks reminds me alot of Sophie Magic Pink Cream



Careline Lipglosses, Php 60 each at Robinsons Malls only


Me Now Concealer Pencil and Black eyepencil duo. (because I was looking for a peach color eyeliner without glitters and can’t find one so I decided to try concealer pen as eyeliner but did not works for me. But let’s see where I could use this). Php 44 at Market Market

Chapstick Lip Balm – i’m currently loving this! Moisturize my chapped lips and I like the taste, Php 76.75.


I think that’s all for the month of May! Thank you for your time reading my blog.
