Good things Comes who those who wait -HAIR! Babyliss PRO215

My most fave buy before the year 2012 ends!
I can't stop raving about this styling tool since my search for a flat iron ends this instant!
I was looking for flat iron/curling iron to style my unruly hair, one that's hassle free and easy to use! i scoured "The Landmark" "robinsons Dept. Store" and Sm malls and almost bought this pink styling tool from Sm watsons,but had to think twice because of the manager's warning that they received negative feedback from this new tool,try to stay away from it,its the P999 flat iron that says its ceramic,its a no-no.


until i found this!
I always see babyliss in youtube gurus and i know that its one of the most reliable styling tool in the US.so I'm glad to get my hands on these!

Best of all is the price to beat! from P2550 35%off P1650 less 10% equals to P1485!!!

10% came from this promo! watsons almost always gives away this promo,so watch out for it.

I also considered picking up the vidal sassoon mini flat iron that costs P999 after discount,it was almost P1500 originally.

I did'nt get it because the vidal sassoon SA in Sm Dept store mall of asia was trying to convince me to get their most expensive flat iron the black wet and dry kind,i said i dont want to get it because its expensive,until i saw the sm watsons pink P999 one,she then pull out this vidal sassoon mini flat iron (photo above) that was not on display from their line, but when i started to show interest on it,she kept on saying that its inferior to their wet and dry one,telling me again and again "ito nalang" "ito nalang" (get this one),with her impatient and unfriendly way of convincing me,( not looking into my eye annoying way when she speaks)insisting to buy the expensive wet and dry one.
Not only that they are not helping me decide on my purchase,but furthermore confusing me,you know that feeling wherein you wanted to buy something that works but doesnt cost a head and a foot? I understand its the best in their brand but i don't want the best, i only wanted something that works. the "turning AWAY" point was when she commented "those are the cheapest tools here in the store" in tagalog "yan na yung mga pinakamura dito sa watsons" (pabalang at inis) and looked away while storing away the tools.almost saying to my face that im cheap! I'm a practical buyer and a bargain hunter! so miss disrespectful SA and miss mahilig magparinig,ikaw ba lahat ng binibili mo yung mahal?
Guess what i bought babyliss! the next time i passed by their area,she was looking at me and following me with a ,i know her look and enving my curled hair. umph!

Here's a video where i learned the most helpful tricks on styling your hair and curling it with a straight iron,i saw 3 videos and this one was the mosthelpful of all,tried it twice and got it at my 2nd try!

Majolica Majorca buy 1 take 1 mascara sale

Good things comes who those who wait moment!!!
I've been lemming for majolica Majorca products since they arrived in watsons Philippines,waiting for discounts and promos,until i came across this from their facebook page

before,they had this promo with the mascara,but it was for the blue mascara,its not bad,but i have really sparse lashes and i need the blackest most visible mascara i can get hold on.
So this time,Lash expander frame plus was buy 1 take 1,including the black one,funny thing was,the saleslady assisted me in the counter while i was paying and said that she mistakenly got 1 black and 1 blue for me,and suggested i get two kinds because the blue one was also good as the black one,they're really trying to get rid of that blue mascara huh,just give it out for free haha!

price was P795 for two!

the mascara boasts of that popular dual brush!

and watsons gave away these voucher the last time i visited one of their branches,and i used it to get that P100 off

I just need to get some more items to get that P1000 mark,good thing these necessities where available,the handwash refills were P99 buy 1 take 1 also,so i really got a good deal that day

jocarste nail polish review

Ive been getting more jocarste nail polishes,here's my previous post

I used a jocarste nail glitter over an etude house milky pink polish to have texture and make it more noticeable,cause the milky pink tends to get washed out with my own hands,the glitters are so subtle but classy with the right amount of bling! i like it


holding the etude milky pink bottle



They're so so pretty! just look at these soldiers!


the price is the best part!



with the affordable price,its already in a full sized bottle,bigger than our local caronia brand

a sample comparison of my etude orange polish compared to the jocarste orange


and actual orange jocarste on my hand


with purple jocarste on my hand



You can get it at watsons,and landmark,but not all watsons carry them,and colors are usually limited,the best colors get sold quickly! i cant find anymore purple ones.

Already having doubts that i can get hold of their clear top coat,cause they ran out so fast! havent seen an actual bottle yet.

This is why....

Its affordable
Great color payoff
wont chip of easily
full size bottle compared to tenee wenee etude
it dries off quickly!
as for yellow nails,the result is quite the same with other local polishes,2 weeks will make my nails yellow.
although i dont leave my polish on for two weeks long,i change regularly because it chips off after a week,(with frequent handwashing and alcohol)
wont chip off easily,just use a nice top coat

Jocarste Nail polish

Shocking purple!!! OOhhhh this bottle catches my eye as i walk inside watsons mall of asia,bright bright summer purple!!!
Have you heard of this brand? Jocarste I'm sure the color is a dupe for some expensive brand.
The verdict!
1) OMG color pay off!!! one coat purple blast! 2 coats barney!!!!
2) dries fast!!
3) doesn't have that nail polish smell that i don't like
4) price Php39.00 what a steal!

By the way here's our new calling card! what do you think of the design?


i tried to make a french tip design,using white tips.

August 2011 collective haul

Some landmark facial square cotton,nose roller!!! and handwash refill from watsons(buy one take one)

Bought another one naturals lotion for P199,they're really moisturizing despite of the poor packaging==>one


maybelline was 20% off!!! just what i was waiting for,to get the c22 shade-->prev post
i was trying to apply lipstick without a mirror one day,surprised to see the top part of the cap works great than having no mirror at all!!!


beside my first maybelline water shine c11



Been eyeing these flat oxfords from primadonna,it has the most softest leather,they have this same material on their other shoes,its almost velvety! so glad its discounted for P699!!!





sm dept store also this was also a steal,infinity scarf



Got this human top in xl,its so cute with the folded sleeves and assymetrical hem,best of all its P99!!! had to ask the SA if this was really that cheap! lol!
worn this with the scarf


forgot to take a pic of the tag,this was from sm dept store.on sale for P349.50.when i got home,i realized there was belt hole straps, i think this comes with a belt before.didnt see it on the dress though

There's so many great deals this august,this will show how much of a cheapskate i am! lol!

my HG hair wax

Whenever i have a bad hair day, i love to tie my hair in a bun,putting the bun way way up!but my tiny hairs are so stubborn they kept on peeping out,do u know what i mean? maybe because im experiencing falling hair lately,small newborn hair come out of no where!the bun should be a lil bit messy,but the rest of my head should be smooth,i usually use my "siao shr" hair wax i bought in watsons hongkong,its gel like consistency smoothes out any frizzies,without being sticky like a gel usually bought locally,it is also not a wax.but thats what they call them in hongkong i guess, it is very inexpensive stuff only Php100 below,u only need a small amount.sad;y i ran out,i asked someone to buy for me in hongkong but she could not find it!..boohoo!!!

legere multi white bb cream

Here's another late post, my hubby went to Taiwan and had to stop over to Hongkong,he bought me my first Legere BB cream in watsons at around Php500+ or $11 and it comes with a whitening solution mask for free! Legere here in manila are not sold locally,but there are some online shops who sell them around Php900-1000 or $20. I heard this is Hg bb cream. cant wait to try the mask
