Natural Home Remedy!

Let me tell you a story.. some of you might find it stu**d while some might find it helpful, some might have heard about this while some..I don’t know! But I do hope you leave a comment below and tell me what you think? now, let’s get started..

About a week ago, I craved for hotdogs.. (yes, hotdog) and I usually fry my hotdogs. It just tastes better cooking it that way. However, because of me rushing things..very impatient.. I had to cook them frozen under a very hot oil and high temp.. uhhuuuhh.. very impatient.. ๐Ÿ˜›

Now, when I tried breaking them apart with a fork it broke into half and the fork went straight to the pan and the oil went all over and a huge amount of oil went to my hand.. Yup! it did hurt and I almost panicked. I was thinking of washing them with cold water but I was scared that my skin might come off ???? so I went ahead and wiped them off and went to get some toothpaste.. Yup! toothpaste because I heard they help when you burn yourself. But, I remembered our toothpaste has mint and it’s also a whitening toothpaste so I decided not to use it as it might irritate my skin even more.

After a drama moment with tears all over my face (LOL), I did recall that my mom used to use tomato when she gets burned while cooking. Luckily we have some tomatoes in our refrigerator so I had to use them right away. When my husband saw me using the tomato he then told me to apply Neosporin…applying Neosporin is the worst idea ever!!!! OMG..๐Ÿ˜ฑ It felt like my hand was on fire๐Ÿ”ฅ or was poured with a gallon of hot sauce or I don’t even know how to describe it.. All I can remember is I almost passed out..๐Ÿ‘ท I ended up washing my hand and went back to applying the tomato. ๐Ÿ…๐Ÿ…

The photo on the left is taken the day after. while the photo on the bottom right is taken on the 5th day. It also burned most part of my knuckles but I missed to capture a closer photo.

I tried browsing online to find the best home remedies for burns but none of the things mentioned can be found in our home at that very moment. Gladly, I listened to my mom when I was still back home and it paid off. It’s actually healing so much better with no blisters or “water bubbles”.

IPSY-GLAM BAG (May Edition)

Hello Everyone!

First and foremost I would like to say THANK YOU ALL for the Love, Likes and for the Follows. I just noticed I now have 500 friends here in our blog world. I never thought I will have this much followers since I first started in January of this year.

Also, if you noticed I haven’t been posting consistently lately and that is because I was just sooo busy and something happened that prevented me from doing much. (I will post that part later)

Anyway, just yesterday I received my 2nd Glam Bag from Ipsy and I was very excited when I saw the package on our doorstep. So yeah! let me show you what I got. ๐Ÿ™‚

The moment I opened the package, I was so happy with the bag itself. Who doesn’t love this bag??HAHA!

So far, I’m impressed.

Now, let’s check out what’s inside..

First item I pulled was this URBAN DECAY 24/7 Glide-On LipPencil. Honestly, this is probably my first Urban Decay product ever. ” yeah.. ever.. ๐Ÿ™‚ “

2015-16-5--21-46-50

Prep your lips for Revolution High-Color Lipgloss: Ozone 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencil. It applies invisibly, glides on smoothly and grabs on to color to help it last. It also has two sample sizes of their Glossy Shades in Failbait and Bittersweet. (I can’t wait to try them on)

Next item is this Organic Farmaceuticals “Style Me” Roots-to-Ends Hair Oil. I am excited to try this on since I am obsessed with anything hair products. It says for ALL HAIR Types and is enriched with Argan Oil & Pumpkin Oil.

IMG_1509

Another item is this NUXE Face Cleansing and Make-Up Removing Gel. Hhmm.. I am not sure whether to give it a try or not.. Again, if you have been following me since day one, you know that I have such a sensitive skin and I get pimples so easily. But you never know?? I might try this.. Just might! ๐Ÿ˜›

IMG_1508

Another item that I was so happy about is an Eye Shadow.. Or let’s just say an “Eye Dust”. This is the Jesse’s Girl “Pure Pigment Eye Dust” in the shade BROWN SUGAR-80585. I did use this earlier today and so far so good. It’s very pigmented and since it’s in powder form it makes it even easier to blend. “Love-Love”.. โค

2015-16-5--21-45-38

Last item I got is an eyebrow color.. HHmmmppp.. This I would say ” a waste”. The reason I said this… it’s because I don’t really use eyebrow color or eyebrow pencil. I’ve never used them before and I don’t see myself using them anytime in the future. (not unless something will happen to my eyebrows then I guess I will need to use them for sure..haha)

However, for those who love eyebrow color/pencil then you guys for sure will love this. Chella”Tantalizing Taupe Eyebrow Color” is really beautiful and what’s cool with this is you just have to twist them instead of sharpening it..and you know what?? I might try to use this as an eyeliner?? you think this will work?? yaiks! ๐Ÿ˜›

So there it is.. My IPSY-Glam Bag with their May theme “Jet Setter”.

Polish of the Week!๐Ÿ‘

Polish of the Week time!

Just a week ago, I bought another nail polish from Rimmel London (60 seconds) and I couldn’t wait to try them on. Finally it’s time for mani-pedi so now I’m able to wear it.

IMG_1409 If you’re wondering how I clean my nails, I always clean them while I’m in the shower. It’s easier to do it that way while you’re leaving your shampoo or conditioner on your hair then take advantage to clean those nails since it’s soaked and those cuticles are soft. Here’s a link on how I prep my nails. 

IMG_1408

  • My Base Coat is from OPI
  • Nail Polish is from Rimmel London (60 seconds) in the shade Mind The Gap, Victoria #503.
  • Clear Coat is from Rimmel London (60 seconds)
  • Lastly, to clean those mess I have to end the process with my fave Sally HansenNo More MistakesManicure Clean-up Pen.

And voila!!!!

My Skin Care Routine!

It’s been a month since I changed my skincare routine and used products that is very convenient for everyone to find. Most of these products can be found in your local drugstores and is very affordable too.

Since I used the Simple Skin Careย Products, I’ve noticed a huge difference on my face and especially on my pimples. I can assure you all that these products are awesome and they are very gentle on any skin types.

First, I start my morning with the Simple Moisturizing Facial Wash.

Simple Moisturizing Facial Wash thoroughly cleanses your skin, removing oil, dirt, and other impurities.

  • 100% soap free wash leaves skin cleansed and revived
  • With added Pro-Vitamin B5 and Vitamin E; Contains skin-loving Bisabolol
  • Suitable for all skin types, especially sensitive skin
  • No Dyes, No Artificial Perfumes and No Harsh Irritants that can upset your skin

Then followed with the Simple Smoothing Facial Scrub.

  • Gently exfoliates and cleans skin
  • Brightens and evens skin texture

Next, to keep my skin soft and smooth I apply the Simple Protecting Light Moisturizer. ย I use this before I apply my concealer or my foundation. It helps dehydrate my skin and makes my makeup look flawless too.

  • 2 vitamins: pro-vitamin B5, vitamin E
  • No harsh irritants that can upset your skin

As soon as I arrived home from work or after wearing any makeup on, I always use the Simple Facial Cleansing Wipes. This wipes is tough on make-up and gentle on skin. And to make it even cleaner. I use the Simple Micellar Cleanser Water, and yes! they do a great job in removing all makeup and dirt.

Now, let’s talk about a non-Simple Skin Care products.

I boughtย Ole HenriksenSheer Transformation in their sample size to hopefully clear some of the pimple marks on my face. I am not sure if they are working great but I did notice some changes on my skin or shall I say on my pimple marks.

Research results:
In a consumer use study on 52 respondents:
– 96% said the product softens skin and smooths uneven texture
– 95% said their skin looks brighter and more radiant
– 86% said that product treats discoloration/hyperpigmentation

My pimple savior… โค

I bought theย GLAMGLOWย YOUTHMUDโ„ข TINGLEXFOLIATE TREATMENT because I heard so many people talking about this product. While I was at Sephora over a month ago, this sample size GlamGlow Youthmud caught my attention.

A lady from Sephora recommended it as well. Instead of using this product all over my face, I’ve decided to just use this only on my pimple. Guess what? it cured some of my sparkles for sure. My right cheek is now pimple free, though you can still see some marks but I’ll take it rather than seeing a huge ugly looking red monster that sparkles all over.

Now, before I go to bed and after cleaning my face with my Simple products, I just dab a tiny amount of this product on my pimples and let it stay overnight. I am not sure if this is even advisable but it works for me.. what can we do?? ๐Ÿ˜›

This mud mask leaves skin noticeably radiant and glowing. It works with the body’s natural moisturizing collagen to provide gentle resurfacing exfoliation and helps to leave skin smoother, brighter, and softer. While providing tighter skin texture and tighter pores, it provides a more youthful appearance and absorbs impurities without removing natural oils.

Research results:
Based on consumer trials:
After 1 day of use:
– 97% agreed it left their skin smoother, brighter, and softer
– 91% agreed it brightened their dull skin
– 94% agreed it provided gentle surface exfoliation

After using it 3 times during a 7-day period:
– 100% agreed it brightened their dull skin
– 97% agreed it provided gentle surface exfoliation

So yeah! there you go.. ๐Ÿ™‚

Quick shopping! #Haul

I am so proud of myself as I was able to survive the entire month of April without buying any makeup at all. I may have had few discount coupons emailed to me but I stayed strong and didn’t fall for it. A HUGEย Shout Out to my Cyber-Friends for giving me the boost to stay tough. ๐Ÿ™‚ (high five you guys!!)

Now, it’s the 2nd day of May and I kind of bought just a few items. The first two items I grabbed is the Revlon ColorBurst – Lacquer Balm. I love these balms so much as they are very hydrating on the lips. I also love how they smell. It’s almost like the smell of a toothpaste as it smells “minty” and they glide on your lips like butter.
