SkinDeep Fiery Red vs. Careline lip and cheek tint

                   
Before being washed
I am an avid fan of the no makeup makeup, and the rule of thumb here is that the lesser product, the better. You just need a light foundation, a mascara and that perfect “mukang kinagat lang” lipstain/liptint. For years, my benchmark product is Careline’s lip and cheek tint (my last tube that I believe I had bought 4 months ago is just 80Php but I have been to the gorcery earlier today and was surprised to see the price ballooned up to 160Php! tsk tsk) Now, my officemate introduced me to Skindeep cosmetics. I thought, for a trial price of 145Php why not try it. She too, was an avid fan of Careline so of course I have to get her to compare it against our benchmark and here are the results: 1. Fiery Red indeed lives up to its name. see the swatch on the right? what could be more fiery than that? on the left is our benchmark. 2. Even after attempting to wash it off, the color stays the same. Less applications more savings! 3. I heard this product is made from organic ingredients. well, I will try to get a list of the ingredients soon for those who wants to know 4. As it wears out, it sill kinda looks natural. So at the end of a busy day wherein you dont get enough time for retouches, It won’t make you look haggard.

So to wrap things up:
Will I buy it: Yes!
Ingredients: TBA
Upside: Does not fade easily
Downside: Not available in department stores yet, you still need to order it online.

PayMaya Review: Please Read Before Using The App or Getting The Card

I feel nervous. This is definitely a very bad feeling to get especially when we are talking about money. Sabihin ko later kung bakit, later but first, a bit of a back story: So currently, I have this sideline of teaching online ESL. The company pays me through PayPal. Ngayon, hirap talaga ako na mag encash from PayPal to BPI. Ok sana sya kasi Php50 lang ang bayad yun lang ang tagal before ko makuha ang pera. The last time, it took 2 days before nag-reflect. Not sure why. Anyway. So I saw this on YouTube: OMG! It was magic! Money was transferred literally in SECONDS from PayPal to Paymaya! I don't have to wait. I hushed the small voice inside my head that said. "Php 250 ang transfer fee nyan hoy!" In my mind, I have an option in case I have an EMERGENCY and needed to get the cash ASAP.   Boy I was wrong! Let me remind you first that my account is activated, I have the physical card, I had it activated and updated-- the works! and yet i...

ACADSOC online job

I have been with ACADSOC as a part time home based teacher for exactly a month and a half today and here are my thoughts about it: How do I feel about working here? The best thing about working in Acadsoc is the flexibility. Every week I plot my desired schedule. On Mondays, for example, I advise my TM (Team Manager) that I want to take Mondays-Fridays 7pm-11pm and take Saturdays and Sundays off.  And if I want to earn extra cash, I take Weekend classes too.  The next best thing that I like about Acadsoc is that it makes a great part time job. you can do it at home with minimal tool investments: you just need a laptop and a decent headset. I use Plantronics with a noise cancelling feature.   Lastly, It is fairly easy, teaching especially free talk feels like you are being paid to listen. Just be prepared with your list of open ended questions, sitback, relax and watch out for any grammar or pronunciation errors. Recap and give a few tips. How long...

Leivy Naturally Double Moisturising Hand & Body Lotion

I love lotions! It is one of those necesarry items in my kikay kit. When I shop around for lotions I always have 3 things that I look for: 1. Smell 2. Price 3. If it could be easily absorbed by my skin. I got Leivy Naturally Double Moisturising Hand & Body lotion in SM grocery for Php 168.00 for a 270ml bottle. (Almost the same price for my other favorite brand Johnson & Johnsons Milk Lotion that sells at around Php150.00 for 200ml.) A tiny amount to moisturize the hand. It is creamy  yet easily absorbed. It smells like milk. I like how it is not overpowering because sometimes I like to put some lotion on at the office because at the middle of the day my hands get really dry because it is cold and I worry that if it smells too much the person next to me might smell it or worse will say it smells like the lotion his grandma used to wear.. so I don't want anything like that. I like the smell to be subtle like you could only smell it if you lean very close. Anot...
