Geo Contact lenses in Nudy Gray

I’m back with another long overdue post! I’m getting better at this. LOL! Last December (and January is almost over, good girl Eloisa!), Val of Dull to doll shop, sent this contact lenses to me. As usual, I did checked the authenticity before giving my reviews on the contact lenses, so rest assured, Val is selling only AUTHENTIC contact lenses. (Btw, she’s selling Nyx products too!)

When Val asked me on what lenses I would like to do reviews on, I really had no idea what to choose! Then, I came across Diane’s blog. I saw her review on Geo Nudy Brown. Her post reminded me on how bad I wanted to try Nudy lenses back then. I’m always thankful for being a blogger because I get to try things for free!

Anyway, I opted for Nudy Gray because gray appears more nicer (compared to brown) and more obvious on my eyes but still looking natural! Although sometimes I get tired of wearing the same lenses all the time. I promise, one of these days I will go beyond my comfort zone!(hay, eto na naman ang promise ko! LOL!)

DESIGN

Nudy Gray has 14.2mm diameter. Just enough to make my eyes look bigger but not abnormally larger.  If you’re aiming for anime-looking eyes, go for 15mm.

The name “Nudy” is just perfect to describe the effect of the lenses on my eyes. It gives my eyes a blurry, pixelated, teary-eyes effect. It’s so gorgeous from afar and on photographs! (refer to pic, db? db?) It makes anybody’s eyes glow!

COMFORT

I’ve read bad comments and reviews on these lenses. They said that Nudy gray is so itchy (and uncomfortable) on eyes unlike most geo lenses. But for me, it was totally okay. Never blurry, just as comfie as my other geo lenses.

Note: With my experience on my past geo contact lenses, during the 4th month and so, I notice that my head would hurt if I wear it for more than my usual 7-8 hours. So, definitely, I wouldn’t recommend you to wear/ use it for a year, even if the life span of this lenses is good for 1 year. Also, wear them for only 6 hours maximum starting 4th month from 1st purchased to avoid any discomfort.

Again, these are not the most comfortable contact lenses on the Earth! My sister bought a freshlook contact lenses and she haven’t had any discomforts using that even A MONTH AFTER THE EXPIRATION. (Though, I wouldn’t recommend you wearing your lenses beyond its life span! Pasaway lang talaga yun si Ate ko, LOL, mahal daw kasi.). Yes, freshlook contact lenses are far more comfortable than geo lenses. But hey, not everyone can afford to spend Php 1,400 / month for a pair of colored lenses from Freshlook, right? (And yes, I wouldn’t too!) You can purchase geo lenses, use it for just few months until you’re still comfortable wearing it, then just throw it away. Sometimes, I do have this kind of thinking (with other contact lenses) that I have to use a contact lenses until the end of its life span (even if it hurts my eyes badly!) because it’s freaking expensive. But with geo lenses, hell no! It’s affordable, so even before the end of the life span of these lenses (probably on the 6^th-7^th month from the day I received it), I try to use another new lenses. (Malaking tipid narin yun, no! :p )   

Overall, I have been loving these lenses.  You can save a lot of money without sacrificing the quality and comfort! 

BTW, Val is having a great giveaway contest right now. It's not yet too late to join. Click HERE to direct you on her shop.

To Val: Thanks again Val for letting me try this great contact lenses, and for your patience in my delayed post. :)

Anyway, here are some of my pics wearing this contact lenses! 

I am wearing one of my favorite lipsticks! Mac pink nouveau although,the pictures doesn't give justice on how pretty the color really is. it looks more purple than pink.  btw, i tried thick eyebrows in here. umuuso lang! :) Appreciate, don't hate! Hugggssss!

Digestive and Gastric Problem during Celebrations of Christmas and New Year

A full belly and Sick Stomach… How can I overcome temptation?

Most people pay the consequences for exceeding the consumption of delicious dishes that are offered during the celebrations since they experience an upset stomach and gain a few pounds.

During the celebrations of Christmas and New Year is common to forget the famous saying: "The food is fundamental as Eat breakfast like a emperor, lunch like a bourgeois and dinner like beggar. " because without thinking too much and fall all the time unlimited tasted succulent stews.

Who would pass the bill?, No doubt the digestive system, which endured several days greasy dishes, lots of sweets and alcoholic beverages wholesale, therefore, responds to the "aggression" by pain, heartburn, gas and diarrhea herbalcureindia.com/remedy . But that's not all, as also "hand charge you" to our body because it gave no chance to properly digest and eliminate unwanted fat, so there is no other choice but to store them in different parts of our silhouette.

Importantly, these excesses occurred not only in quantity (in those days multiplied by 3 or 4 our daily calorie needs), but also in quality for two reasons: first, to overdo it in sauces, spices, spicy, coffee and alcohol, and secondly because we diminish our quality requirements to the high demand for the products we consume, such as sweets, cakes and snacks.

The seriousness of the matter is that people are paying with gastroenteritis, a condition that causes inflammation in the lining of the stomach and intestine, causing intense pain in the region, gas, diarrhea and, in severe cases, nausea and vomiting.

It is estimated that to digest the food consumed in the Christmas Eve or New Year, it takes much longer than usual, especially between 10-12 hours, so that the process is conducted properly. Obviously very few people meet this time for a hearty dinner followed by a hearty meal or both.

Once a year if it hurts

The eating habits of each individual determine the type of products and the amount you can eat at a special dinner, for example, if an individual takes care of nutrition and at times like Christmas than usual intake have hardly any imbalance, since your body "asked" to offset the excess food (fruits, vegetables and cereals). In contrast, when the diet is unbalanced, it is highly probable compulsive eating behavior that may continue after the expiration of the festivities.

Paying the bill
Eating is a vital necessity, but also an everyday enjoyment and occasionally a source of great pleasure, and surely this perception led us to eat uncontrollably. It is therefore essential to re-acquire food discipline, which not only "peace will return" to our stomach, but also allow us to begin to lose weight (which must be backed up exercise routines).

The first step is to balance our diet, which should contain moderate amount of food for the four groups:
* 57% carbohydrate (preferably complex, i.e., those that do not taste sweet like bread, starches and pasta).
* 25% fat (you should never ignore them because they allow the production of hormones).
* 15% protein.
* 3% fiber.

It is necessary to avoid or dosed spicy foods, spicy and sweet and alcoholic beverages, for the stomach "not willing" to tolerate another attack. Increase the amount of vegetables, fruit and fiber in your diet, prefer the dishes, steamed or grilled and drink 2 to 3 liters of water daily. It is very important to make 4 or 5 light meals a day, as this will allow your metabolism (physical-chemical process that converts food into energy) work faster and your stomach digest food well, also must try to eat calm and chew well every edible.

If you come to feel hungry between meals, it is advisable to eat a fruit, vegetables and some cereal, remember that it is appropriate to use the candy because it can present another uncontrolled eating, plus it will not let us get rid of the kilos we won.

Note that it is not advisable to eat light products in excess, because even if "low calorie" these foods only contain 30% less fat than regular or sugar.

If the upset stomach does not decrease with the change of diet ayurvedicherbalcure.com/Herbs/guduchi.html, immediately consult a gastroenterologist, the specialist who performed assessment of their health and on that basis, recommend appropriate treatment, which includes the administration of certain drugs and some tips, among which are:
* Eat slowly.
* To crush chew food properly.
* Moderate the amount of food and alcoholic beverages, especially if you have any gathering or party.
* Avoid drinking gaseous liquids.
* Consume fruit salads and vegetables.
* Use only the necessary condiments, preferably aromatic herbs such as basil, marjoram, thyme or mint.
* In case of food a little greasy or spicy, do not forget to take an antacid.

Men Hair Care Keep Hair Look Healthy and Radiant

Hair Shampoo, conditioner, hair massage and regular visits to the stylist are now very common in an enthusiastic male population wants to keep their hair look healthy and radiant and project an image of impeccable.

Although sometimes do not show it openly, men today are keen to maintain an aesthetic appearance and attractive, so they resort to products and methods once considered "exclusive" for women. Hair is one of the points that serve, attending on time (it is recommended that every two months) to aesthetics or hairdressing, choosing hair cleaning products and hair modeling according to their needs, or buying dyes and hair fall treatments.

Of course, every day there are new things to learn about self-care, and so we present this advice guide, aimed at men, to maintain his proud and hair in perfect condition.

First of all, washing
Think of how you should wash your hair may seem unnecessary, but like many tasks that are done automatically, it is important to take a moment to look if done properly or not.

First is the choice of good quality shampoo, formula corresponds to the natural type of hair: dry, oily, normal or color-treated hair, the frequency of their use depends on whether it is oily or dry, because the latter is not recommended wash daily, but every three days. Like many do not like this kind of behavior, they may resort to formulas created for frequent use.

Other recommendations:
* Provide gentle massage for a few minutes to promote blood supply to the scalp.
* If you apply conditioner on the ends do not on the scalp. If your hair is cut short, probably not require this product.
* Be sure to rinse well with water slightly warm, then hot water opens the pores and makes hair fall.
* Remember to rinse thoroughly to prevent the hair look dull and crushed.

Scalp massage

This technique is to separate the scalp from the skull to the nerve endings in the region is free from tension and facilitate blood flow, so that helps keep the hair strong, healthy and trouble free fall. To carry out the following considerations should be taken:
* Always be done gently and relaxation, never snapped.
* Start at the neck, using fingertips in circular motions, exerting gentle pressure upward and then descending.
* Continue the same way with the central area of the head to the front.

* Generalize pressing massage with the tips of all fingers to move the scalp in relation to the skull.
* Finally, more gentle, scroll down to the entire head neck and shoulders.

Against the annoying dandruff
As much as to avoid, dandruff stresses placed on the shoulders of men. Why do I get? There are several reasons such as stress, dryness, lack of certain vital substances in the body (zinc, vitamin B, beta-carotene) and presence of microscopic fungi, Factors that cause the sebaceous glands do not function normally and scalp loses the upper layers of tissue (scaling) excessively, these bits of skin are falling on your clothes. Besides the need to maintain a very balanced diet, there are many natural hair products to combat unwanted dandruff; its use should be constant until the problem disappears.

The dreaded hair loss
The hair is renewed permanently, so that there are periods in which it falls, others in which grows a few more that is stable, which is why many men become alarmed by hair loss for no reason.

The truth is that we can lose is estimated that between 50 and 100 hairs per day, and when the drop exceeds these parameters have to pay attention to prevent further, except as an inherited cause, which has not yet been controlled.

When it comes to genetic factors, the main causes of the fall are: anemia, pregnancy, lack of zinc, poor circulation, functional deficiency of the thyroid gland and stress, among others. In all these cases the hair will recover with treatment and the right products and a diet rich in vitamins A, H and B complex, are ideal cereals, green vegetables, wheat germ and brewer's yeast.

Recall that there are no miracles in cases of hereditary hair loss reasons, but it may delay this process, if the problem is attacked as the first symptoms under medical supervision, efforts will yield better results.

We hope these tips serve to make your hair look radiant, the first step so you are sure to keep your image and, above all, healthy hair.

Comparison Review: Maybelline and Mac Gel Liner

Hi lovelies! Chocolabear Fumiko II requested me to do a review (on fan page)  on Maybelline Gel Liner but instead of reviewing Maybelline alone, I decided to do a comparison review on Maybelline Lasting drama Gel Liner in Black and Mac fluidline in Blacktrack (para sulit sa post!)

If you haven’t read my first review on Mac, click here.

I'm a huge fan of gel liners! Honestly, I like it more than I like liquid liners and pencil liners since gel liners are much easier to work with (for my eyes). 

I started using gel liners two years ago. The first gel liner I’ve tried was the Elf Crème liner. 

Market Price:

Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel liner- Php 449

Mac Fluidline in blacktrack – Php 1,100

Net wt.: both 3g

Packaging:

I like that both gel liners’ pot are made of glass so that the products won’t dry out really fast. Avoid buying gel liners with plastic pot packaging because it won’t lasts you long enough. My elf crème liner dries completely after 2 mos! I had my Mac gel liner for a year now and guess what, I can still use it! AMAZING! Really worth my money.

Consistency:

Both gel liners are really creamy. I can still recall how much I raved about the creaminess of Mac when I first got it (considering the fact that Elf wasn’t as creamy as both). However, Maybelline is denser.

Since both are creamy, I never had any problems in applying these on my eyes. I normally use angled brush than the free brush on Maybelline just because angled brushes are much easier to use.  Btw, I don’t have any issues with the free brush, I honestly think that the brush that comes in the packaging of maybelline has a good quality  (bristles are stiff and soft).

In spite of being creamy, both dries quickly on my eyes (though Mac dries little faster than Maybelline).

Left to right: Fanny Serrano Waterproof felt Liquid liner, mac gel liner, maybelline gel liner

When I first swatched these on the back of my hands, I was like, “Oh these two have different finishes. Mac has a  matte finish while Maybelline has a semi-matte finish.” But after few minutes,  Maybelline dries completely into a matte finish. (Parehas na sila!)

Color payoff

If you’re looking for eyeliners with vibrant-black finish, I suggest that you should get liquid liners instead (or elf crème liner and wet n wild gel liner). 

However, the color payoff of these gel liners were good enough *like a carbon* (refer to swatch above). 

Lasting power:

These don’t last the entire day on me. (Take note: I live in Philippines plus I do have oily lids). Yet, you could use  a primer to make it lasts the whole day. Or if you’re someone like me who don’t have eye primers *ako na walang primer! lol* , you could do my technique. *aba, may technique pa pala ako, haha!*  To make these gel liners last longer, use pencil eyeliner (you can use the pencil liners you don’t normally use) as a base. After applying pencil liner, apply gel liner on top.

Left to right: Fanny Serrano Waterproof felt tip Liquid liner, mac gel liner, maybelline gel liner

I tried rubbing these gel liners for few times (more than 5x) . I noticed that Maybelline smudges a bit while Mac crumbles a little.

I did another test (water test) to see if these gel liners will last even we perspire, cry or get under the rain.

Left to right: Fanny Serrano Waterproof felt tip Liquid liner, mac gel liner, maybelline gel liner

I put my hands on the running water then rubbed these off. Again, Maybelline smudges rather than crumbles when rubbed off. That’s why beware of rubbing your eyes when you’re using Maybelline gel liners as it might give you a panda-looking (pero hindi naman katulad kay Kungfu Panda) eyes afterwards. Though, I really had hard time rubbing the Maybelline off my hands compared to Mac. (refer to pic)

To all drugstore-brand users, do not raised your eyebrows yet! Mac fluidline isn't as expensive as you think. (It's cheaper than Elf creme liner,really!)  

Proof: 

I got mine for Php 750.00 (from U.S.) 

Mathematical computation:

Php 750 / 12 mos = Php 62.50 (Imagine, I'm only paying Php 62.50/mo for a Mac!)

Or

Php 1,100 (<--Price in Philippines) / 12 mos = Php 97/mo (or even cheaper since I can still use mine until now! So, that's more than a year now!)

While,

Elf Creme Liner costs Php 250 and it dries completely after 2 mos.

Mathematical computation

Php 250 / 2 mos = Php 125.00!!!

So, If you want to try high-end brand and you want to make the most out of it, this is a product to try! 

So far, I think Maybelline is a good dupe for Mac. I couldn’t say that Maybelline is cheaper than Mac yet since I’m still waiting for another test. If one pot of Maybelline would last me until the 5^thmonth (and wouldn’t dry out) from the day I purchased it, I will definitely say that “MAYBELLINE IS A CHEAPER ALTERNATIVE FOR MAC FLUIDLINE”. (Php 449 / 5 mos = Php 90/mo.)

NYX HD STUDIO PHOTOGENIC PRIMER and THE BODY SHOP SKIN MATTE IT PRIMER

Whew. Another year to start. Good vibes for 2012. Hope I could do more reviews, more sponsorships, more contests for you, gain more readers, more improvements in writing and more years for my blog! Hooray!

And to start the year right, I will do a review on two of my primers for 2011 

I couldn’t pick one (best) since both works for me in different ways and I would recommend them to people depending on skin conditions and preferences.

Let’s start with the highly rave NYX HD Studio Photogenic Primer.

I don’t know if it is available in other shades but the one I got is in HDP 01.

PACKAGING:

 

It comes in a sleek black and white (reminds me alot of Makeup forever) packaging with a pump dispenser. One pump will dispense enough amount of product for your face (and probably, neck). The pump is quite good for controlling the amount of product you want to dispense off the packaging--- if you’re someone like me who do not really use this primer all over your face. I usually use 1/2 pump for covering some parts of my face (tzone).

I  like that the  packaging has almost everything you need to know about the product... the name, the ingredients, some info, the claims, the site where you can purchase it.. except for the expiration date (and it’s the most important things of all!--- or maybe, one of the most ;)).

CONSISTENCY:

 The consistency is more liquidy than typical lotions (and less thicker too).  For some reasons, the consistency reminds me alot of Liquid paper (or correction fluid).

This primer contains silicone (Dimethicone), the one responsible for smooth silky feeling (to blend the makeup smoothly and evenly) and helps fills in lines or large pores on the face. Silicones also makes the primer lightweight. However,  in spite of the fact that it contains silicone, i find this primer difficult to blend on my face especially if my face is not totally dry.

Another thing that add burdens in blending out the product was the white color of primer. If not blended really well (or you put too much amount of product) on skin, this has the tendency to leave white cast on your face. On the other hand, if the product is well-blended on skin, this instantly brightens up the face.
NOTE: dispense the product onto the back of your hands. apply pea size amount on your face, part by part. then, blend out. It's better to start from little on your forehead going on your nose and other parts of your tzone, then if you like on your cheeks.... If you put too much products, the only choice you'll have is to erase everything, so I suggest don't do the "dot" rule on this product (dot rule- dotting all the foundation on your face before blending out). sayang naman yung time, effort and products, db? ;p

CLAIMS:

High definition, photogenic primer. Perfect for liquid makeup, foundation or face powder. Silky, lightweight application helps erase the appearance of fine lines and pores for a flawless finish. You makeup will stay fresh until the party’s over!

If I would have to recommend this primer, I would definitely recommend it to people with normal to oily skin since unlike most face primers, it does not have that smooth-silky feeling to it. If you have really dry and flaky skin, you will end up having trouble blending out the product on your skin.

In my case, I have combination skin (oily in tzone, dry and flaky on cheeks). I tried putting this on my flaky skin (cheeks) and i couldn’t make it works for me. I was expecting that it would smoothens out that area so I could apply my liquid foundation better, but it failed me. However, I would highly highly recommend it to people with oily skin!

During my OJT last December, I hardly retouched my face (mostly, no retouching at all). Imagine, 8-13 hours of no retouching??! Pretty amazing, huh. (Note: I haven’t tried it on summer yet)

Overall, I’m pretty amazed. It did make my makeup lasts longer and keeps my oil at bay! I haven’t used any products as good as this in oil control. Plus, it’s only PHP 650! (more or less).

PROS

-Lightweight

-cheap alternative for high-end primers

-It’s HD! (bongga db? High definition talaga)

- Mineral-enriched, talc-free and paraben free

- Cruelty-free, hypoallergenic and lead free

-dries fast (make sure to blend well)

-it does give your skin smoother and flawless look (can brightens up your face)

-not greasy

-superb in oil control

-makes any makeup last longer!

CONS

-hard to blend

-can leave white cast if applied too much

-it has scent (it has a mild powdery smell + something weird) – not really bad, though.

Next in the list is the THE BODY SHOP SKIN PRIMER MATTE IT

PACKAGING:

Unlike Nyx, TBS skin primer matte it comes in a much simpler tube packaging. There’s nothing much on the packaging, no ingredients, instructions or anything like that. While I was searching for the product details (for this post) I was surprised to know that this product main ingredients are Aloe vera extract and camomile extract. And guess what, it can be use as primer for lipstick too! LOL! I haven’t tried it yet, though. I will try, maybe tomorrow? (I wish it was included in the packaging)

CONSISTENCY:

It comes in a clear gel, like the infamous Smashbox primer. Both nyx and tbs contain silicone but unlike nyx, this is much easier to blend on skin.

CLAIMS:

This primer for normal and oily skins creates a smooth base for foundation. It has been designed to deter shine and make make-up last longer.

Smoothes

Banishes shine

Helps make-up stay in place

According to the description, this primer is for people with normal to oily skin. But I honestly think that this works better for people with dry to normal skin (plus sensitive skin). People with oily skin may find this product not-so-well in oil control. I even came across someone who mentioned that she reapply this every 2-3 hours. I was like, “Who the hell reapply primer every 2-3 hours?!” LOL. Maybe, she was referring to foundation, not primer. Anyway. Sorry, I’m being rude again.

Moving on, I apply this on my cheeks where my skin tends to be flaky (due to my acne soap). I don’t know if it’s only me but after applying it on my face, I squeeze another amount of product into the brush and mix it with my liquid foundation. In that way, the primer would help my liquid foundation (or even powder foundation) not to accentuates my dry and flaky skin. You may shoot me now, but it’s how i do it! I am not a professional, so I don’t follow rules. 

Anyway, the oil control works for me (somehow). If normally, I would retouch at least 2-3x a day, using this primer I would just retouch 2-3x at most. It’s pretty ok too. Not superb but it works for me.

In spite of all the bad reviews in the internet, I still recommend it for people with dry to normal skin. It’s my saviour for my dry skin. Definitely, a great base to smoothens surface for better makeup application. (BUT overpriced! It was really pricey for the amount I was able to get. Imagine paying Php 800+ for 25ml??)

Btw, it reminds me of Ellana Primer, but TBS is less greasy. I’m not sure yet since it's quite a long time now since I had that. I will try to repurchase Ellana primer and see if it will be as good as this primer.

PROS:

-great base (smoothens skin) for makeup

- contains Aloe vera extract and camomile extract

- 2-in-1 primer (face and lips)

- helps control oil 

-works really well for people with dry-normal skin

CONS

-overpriced!

-not superb in oil control
