Best Purchases of 2011

Hello guys I'm so happy and I'm very excited to share with you my best purchases of 2011.  I just did a video on it and if you haven't watched it yet, you can watch the video since I attached it at the the bottom of this post. I had so many purchases last year but that's a given since it's the whole freaking year so it's got to be a lot right=). Although I bought a lot of things last year I only considered a few of them as my best purchases. Of course it is the amount of benefit and the quality of those benefits that count when choosing your best buys. So let's talk about the best things I bought in 2011:

Hot Pink Lenovo ideapad Laptop

- I was really happy when I got this and discovered that it had an HD screen and that it could handle HD videos without having to render or convert your videos. I might experience a bit of a glitz when using it but that's because I use it all the time. I also like how big it is and how it has a CD-ROM which helps me do other things too. And it doesn't over heat at all.  Not even when I leave it plugged with it's power cable while uploading. I'm super duper happy with this!  And I'm so pleased and in love with this laptop and it's definitely one of my best purchases of 2011.

Canon 600D DSLR Camera

- Another reason why I'm always excited to film and very inspired is because of this camera. The only downside with this camera is that it doesn't auto focus by itself. You need to do it manually. As far as I know these types of camera are good for filming movies since it doesn't have to view products but movie characters from far away. But if you really want to have an auto focus camera you can buy the same brand, Canon.  Just try their Canon camcorder. I'm pretty sure they have the same lighting.

 

- This camera has a flip screen which is one of the reasons I love it so much and one of the reasons why it is so expensive. It has 18 megapixels which is pretty good and of course HD videos. You can search some reviews for this camera on youtube and mark my word, once you get this camera and learn how to use it, you'll definitely fall in love with it=).

Canon PowerShot A2200 Digital Camera

- This camera is also great, specially at a price of P4,750.00 and it's already HD and has 14.1 megapexils, come on!! It's pretty amazing=). The only thing that I don't like about this is the color. I mean I don't hate blue, I do love blue but not for me. I prefer to have a pink one, purple or red coz it's more girly and it fits my style more. But this was the only one that was left and they were going to phase it out so I was afraid and got this one while I still could. Over all I love this camera.

Zebra Vanity Case

- I love this one too and I guess it's one of my best purchases of 2011 since it helps me carry a lot of my makeup stuff when I travel. But this is only convenient for personal use but not recommended if you're a freelance makeup artist. This will not fit everything you need for your clients.

CDR-King Tripod

- I don't know how tall it is but it's really really tall. I think it's a half inch taller than me. I got it for only P650.00 and the quality is pretty amazing. I don't have major complaints so far with this tripod coz it does the job and that's what I wanted to get from it.

Akari Light Stand

- Although this only has one light bulb it does a great job. I can bend it easily since the body is bendable and I can do anything with it. It is very user friendly.

My Shoes

- If you want to see my haul video for my shoes you can click here. You can also read my blog post here.  I have cool pictures in my blog post by the way. 

-  These shoes are definitely some of my best purchases for 2011. I remember when I decided to buy a whole bunch of shoes just to switch from flats to high heels. It took me a few days to adjust to wearing them but I learned how to do it in the end. I'm so grateful I bought them.

Thank you ladies and gentlemen for reading my post. Have a nice day and God bless. If you want to read more, you can follow my blog to stay updated with new posts.

My Little Gabby Boy=) The Sweetest Chihuahua Ever..

Hello lovelies.. I'm not feeling better yet and I'm so sleepy but I still want to make a blog post=)  Anyways, I just uploaded a vlog of Gabby my baby chihuahua on YouTube to meet all of your requests. And I was actually hesitant at first but since a few of you were requesting it I finally did it. I'm also planning on making a vlog for both Gabby and Raffy but I'm still thinking of when I can do that since Raffy is rowdy when he sees me.  He's always jumping and hugging my legs! I want to make at least one video of Raffy on my channel so people will see how cute he is too. He is now two years old but I still treat him like a puppy. 

Anyhow, I will show more pictures of Gabby here. I only shared a few pictures in the video since I don't want to make long videos and I don't like it when YouTube takes so long to upload. So here are some of his pictures together with Chris and I. =)

Thank you guys for dropping by and reading my post. You can also click the plus button if you think Gabby is cute and sweet=) God bless everyone and stay tuned for more blog posts and videos=)

Amazing Homemade Pimple Cure - My Daily Facial Routine

Hello everybody how are you today.  Are you good? :)

Well, this blog was a requested one.  It's about my daily facial routine.  I'm going to tell you that I'm not into high end products because I already tried them and they weren't at all effective.  I only spent so much money buying expensive products and paying for facials without ever seeing the results.

Until one day I think it was January or February of 2010 my guardian angel appeared, my wedding planner.  We were talking about my wedding at that time when she noticed that I had so many pimples on my face.  I told her that I've tried so many products and that I spent P550 every month on facials.

So she said, "Why don't you try the solution that I'm using?".  I was so interested in knowing what it was that I asked her and she replied "I'm just using Eskinol".  And I know girls especially Filipina women in the Philippines can relate to this product.  It's Eskinol Dermaclear C Facial Cleaner and "I mix it with a Vitamin E capsule and Dalacin C".  I was told that I could use any vitamin E but I always use Myra E.

I have had amazing results using this solution along with friends and family too.  We all had fantastic results but as we all know everyone is different.

To see the feedback and discussion from people who have used it too, please visit the comments on the YouTube video I made by clicking here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBPaKrZl6D4

And to see me mix the magic formula on camera, proceed to 2:39 in the video below:






Amazing Pimple Cure Mixture:
1. Eskinol - Dermaclear C Facial Cleaner
2. 300mg Vitamin E
3. Dalacin C


Tips:
1. Make sure you use it only once a day as more then that would dry your skin.
2. Apply it at night instead of the day. This toner has the tendency to make your skin sensitive to the sun for a few hours.
3. Use a moisturizer after you apply it. Without moisturizer this product may leave your skin a bit dry.

I filmed this video in 2010 but Chris asked me to post it on my blog.  He likes it so much that I finally decided to post it.

Take care everyone!

Review: TheGlamShopp Products/Giveaway/Giveaway Winner

Hey guys so finally I have more product reviews for you. I do admit these products are sponsored but I'm not biased anyways.  I'm still going to tell you my honest thoughts. Well most of them are pretty new to me (not the pair of contact lenses) but I'll share how to use the products and I'll give slight benefits you will get with each when you use them. So here are the products below including the descriptions on how you're going to use them. I'm also going to attach a little note about my thoughts on these certain products.

MASCARA GUIDE
It’s called 3-in-1 because it’s meant for:
- lower lashes
- upper lashes
- with a comb with 2 varying thickness at the bottom (so that eyelashes wont clump together & look more natural)

In my opinion this is very helpful to prevent smudging while you're applying your mascara. The mouth is wide open that it holds all your lashes. It's suitable to any eye shape and it's very useful/helpful for beginners too. The weight is so light that even if you drop it, it is still in good shape. The price is affordable, only thing is that you can't understand what is written on the back unless you know how to read it. Overall I highly recommend this if your a beginner and you want easy and even mascara.

FACE UP ROLLER
-Effectively smooth-en face muscle that are exhausted and stiff. help to slimming down your face.
-Improve the edema condition of face. (Face that look swollen and bulky with excess fat or fluid)
-Can also be used to massage the neck area to improve blood regulation & smooth-en neck muscles.
-Remove double chin
-Just 10 min everyday

This is the one that I'm honestly not willing to buy. The main reason is that I already have a slim face.  It might look chubby on camera but it's not in person.  And I've always wanted to gain more weight coz the more weight I lose the slimmer my face gets and to the point where it sometimes create hallows on my checks. If this one does the job it mentions above then it's not for me. For those who are striving to slim their cheeks  then I think this is a practical way rather than having a surgery or whatsoever. Well I admit it feels good sometimes while your stressed or your face needs a massage. I only use the two rollers coz I don't know how to use it after attaching the rollers. It really shows that I'm not familiar with these type of tools. 

 

 FRINGE BANGS SHAPER

-Curl your fringe
-You can clip the clipper on your wet hair and remove it when your hair is dry
-Good for DIY your fringe, or use when washing face/putting makeup
-No harm to your hair

I only tried it once while I was doing my makeup to see what the result would be and it came out really good. It gives my hair a natural arc but I never got to enjoy it in a humungous way since I don't have short bangs but I can tell that it's helpful for DIY fringes.

GEO NUDY PINK
Weight: 0 kg, 100 grams
Stock: Stock available
Manufacturer: Geo Medical
Diameter : 14.0mm
Water Content : 38%
Base Curve : 8.6mm
Life Span : 1 year disposal

It's pretty dramatic for me and I think it's a type of lens that I don't prefer to wear during the day time. The positive side is, it is very nice in pictures and your eyes looks so attractive. I have a few pictures I uploaded to Facebook and the lenses don't look pink, they actually look grey to me. When it comes to the quality, it is comfortable but then as what I mentioned in my video, I can't wear lenses for more than 5 hours. I love collecting them but I always stock them in my plastic box and get them when I need them or when I feel like wearing them.

Now for my little surprise I will be giving away the same items that I got except you're going to get a different colored lenses (2 pairs). She sent me three pairs of lenses with 3 different designs and I chose the pink one for me and the other two for you=)
