All About Toners!

Every time I watch “get ready with me" videos on Youtube it always includes toner, I got curious and once again decided to try tehee :D

According to my research, Toner is used as moisturizer, cleanser and pore minimizer. Depending on the ingredients of the product that you are using. Some toners have alcohol content which cleanses the face , tightens the skin but also tends to dry the face so it’s not recommended for dry skin. Other toners also uses ingredients like caffeine and green tea instead of alcohol to tighten the skin. Hmmm so that explains the coffee in Ponds facial wash for men hehehe.

The first toner that I tried is a toner from a direct selling company, I’m not really sure because that was wayback nineteen forgotten, I don’t have enough knowledge on what it does , what it’s for, just used it maybe twice-thrice and then I didn’t see any result so I stopped using it which I now

come to realize that beauty cannot be achieved overnight unless you undergo operation or

something alike. Then after watching videos I decided to give toner a second chance.

Hi  Loves!

I attended my brothers civil wedding. What I wore is simple and my make up is very light ( face powder, eye brow,blush on) . I live in the mountainous area in the Philippines where make up is slowly being accepted thanks to the internet we’re able to learn new things :)

inspiring, funny, empowering quotes

daily doze of quotes :) be inspired :)

Being a woman is a terribly difficult task, since it
 consists principally in dealing with men.

Joseph Conrad

I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others.

As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot. John Lennon

Why are women… so much more interesting to men than men are to women? Virginia Woolf

hi loves! :)
I was able to get a hold of these glitter nail polish from Wet n Wild   Ice Baby Collection .I was able to get 3 shades only. The consistency of the product is just right, it doesn't dry easily that it avoids clumps during application. It is build-able depending on your preferences.  I hope the pictures will help you :)

Xoxo!

DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH

 BELIEVE ME, IT'S REAL 

ROCKIN' RUBIES 

EOS (Evolution OF Smooth)

            The first ever lippy that I had was from Avon, It was the best lip gloss that i’ve known then :) I had like 2-3 of them and then I never bought another because I was able to discover a better replacement  . 

eos lip balm in Pomegranate Raspberry is 95% organic, 100% natural, and paraben and petrolatum free. Packed with antioxidant-rich vitamin E, soothing shea butter and jojoba oil, eos keeps your lips moist, soft and sensationally smooth.

• Long-lasting moisture
• Shea butter & vitamin E
• Smoothes on clear
• Precisely glides on lips
• Twist-off top

• Gluten-free
• Paraben-free
• Petrolatum-free
• Phthalate-free
• 0.25 oz

Pomegranate Raspberry 

I was attracted to it's packaging , so cute and girly. It's also covered with rubber for a nice grip. The balm  looks like a "vaseline/petroleum jelly", no tint  but the smell is delicious :)  and it's solid.

I've heard  so many good reviews about this and knowing this is a plus 

On the label: 95 % organic, 100% natural
The smell is so good that it makes you want to eat the whole thing .Good thing it’s not that  sweet as the add says:
 Smooth on an all natural lip balm that delivers the perfect balance of flavor and moisture.

which I was able to prove myself.

The only significant difference that I was able to find in this product is that it's natural so this would be perfect for health conscious ladies other than that I can say that it works the same way  with other nice brands of glosses/balms. The Balm is being advertised by popular people but it's difficult to get a hold of that makes it expensive. There are fake EOS balms as well.   

I hope it's helpful

XoXo!

Royalty in Blue

Hi there Loves! :) So here I am wearing the Royal blue! I wanted to add a little bit trivia about the color so I did some research and it's kinda interesting, here's some of what I found.

Blue is described as a favorite color by many people and is the color most preferred by men.

Blue is often used to decorate offices because research has shown that people are more productive in blue rooms.

This color is one of trust, honesty and loyalty.

Blue can also lower the pulse rate and body temperature.     

From a color psychology perspective, blue is reliable and responsible. This color exhibits an inner security and confidence. You can rely on it to take control and do the right thing in difficult times. It has a need for order and direction in its life, including its living and work spaces.

BLACK AND WHITE WITH RED

Hi there! here's a simple outfit of the day for you . The dress is thrifted , black and white with sequin details .I paired it with white flats  and put a little pop of color. . 

mellow yellow!

This is the best possible picture that I can get using all the resources that I have , hope to see improvements though :) 

I am wearing this yellow, pleated, mullet skirt which is from my sisters store,got it for only Php.150 :D
I also bought the blazer for Php.10-15 yup you're reading it correctly. I paired this with a sleeveless shirt and topped it with a blazer since the original idea was summer outfit but I decided to cover it up since I'm suppose to go to church which didn't happen because it rained!  Thanks for visiting :) see you again :)

IF I COULD RE DO MY WEDDING OVER AGAIN (Gold Motif)

       If I could "redo" my wedding over again it would be something that I have never seen before  :) but of course I will still marry the same person :D haha!. It was a mess when we were planning our wedding , we're not sure if we will have a church wedding, if my company will give me enough time since I was just trained to be a part of another department ,  if the money that we have is enough for such kind of wedding and where to hold the wedding. Because of those things that we need to consider , we ended up doing everything in less than a month!. We were able to set the exact date on May , after the election since it was the only time we were able to go home at my hometown. Since it was rushed, I didn't expect much but because of the help of our family and friends it turns way much better than I expected. I only felt that If I was not given enough time. I could have done something better. Anyway I am happy with the results.  

    Back to my "re-do's" , I haven't seen a Gold motif in a real life wedding so I think it would be nice and I'm sure that my fiance' would love it too :)
