ok, as promised, no more wallowing. so im gonna do the second thing i most usually do in my blog which is to make a review of things i own so that you don't have to buy them and make the same mistakes i did.
(...there is laughing in my head)
anyways, nothing bad to say about the first thing on my list which is JML's wet straight pro. its the hair iron that can be used on dry or damp hair. because irish' very happy recommended it to me i never thought twice in buying it even though i already have:
philips 8-in-1 hair styer. very helpful but it takes a lifetime to heat up and forever to finish styling your whole head, especially for curling. even the simple straightener pisses me off.
conair plimatic trix stix hair straightener. it heats up decently but my hair gets tangled all the time. apart from the fact that it only has 3 inches of heating plate.
now we happily go to wet straight pro...
if irish is happy with this product,
i am happier! i can actually straighten my hair even if it is still damp! (damp, ok? you'll electrocute yourself if you use it on wet hair... then you'd be back at one in straightening your hair :D) and not only that, i also tried curling my hair and it took only 20 minutes without hurrying.
(for a tutorial on how to curl your hair using a flat iron, click here) what's more, i did not notice any drying or stiffening in my hair, which usually happens when your hair dries up from all the heat of the iron. one morning when i did not have time to style my hair and just went to the office just brushing it, it was still straight and soft. you can also select your preferred temperature. i am so impressed...
the only disadvantage is that if you look at it, the buttons for the temperature and power is on the side, and i always accidentally push this every time i use it. i have learned to avoid it, though the first times were a pain.
quick trivia: i have read that the peace sign in photographs have been in fashion because the japanese started using them to promote world peace, then the rest of asia followed (that is why most teenagers in asia have photos with the peace sign in friendster and facebook) then the rest of the world. so, let's promote world peace, everyone!
next review is for a hong kong-made MAC Hello Kitty eyeshadow that i purchased from ebay for just $10 and revlon 12-hour colorstay quad which is a gift from ariane.
yes, it's not really MAC, but who cares? as long as that mouthless cat with a ribbon is on the label, id be happy to bid for it (lol), but seriously i was suprised to see that it was of good quality, the shadows are so creamy and the bright colors are so lovable!
even the applicator is so smooth and soft!
compared to the applicators i bought from lifestyle which looks spongy, i actually love using mac hello kitty's applicator. it earned its space in my cosmetic case (i leave my big 120-eyeshadow pack at home and bring mac hello kitty for touch ups or for late mornings :)
meanwhile, ariane sent me this eyeshadow in hope that i might evolve without her knowing that i already did in less than a year when she left. i guess san diego made her miss me so much that she even sent me a watch from style&co... thanks pokie!
anyways, the revlon eyeshadow's color is very helpful if i want smokey eyes, which is rare. i tested it for a few days and the colors do have staying power. and it did not crease or fade. the only downside is that it came with this applicator that looks worse than my lifestyle sponges.
apart from that, she also sent me 2 nail polishes which i really felt bad about because maricel's pack only has a watch while mine has a lot, so i told her that i only had one nail polish. ooops...
i love sally hansen nail polishes!
of all the blue nail polishes that i own, i love this the most! it looks royal blue and my konad plates were happy too! i began using them again this week..
i was so happy staring at my nails so i gave myself the same pedicure:
that's what i call happy feet! :)
