Expect the Unexpected

     I'm very blessed to have a very supportive husband. He's there for me in so many ways! I can let him do the laundry, wash my son's feeding bottles and do some simple errands. But there were times he's complaining about the things that I told him to buy for me. These are kikay things that men usually are not interested with or very shy to be associated with (napkins, panty liners, etc). 

     He always tell me that I'm the unlucky one because almost 70% of the things that I want- from food, shoes, clothes, skin care and makeup have been discontinued in the market or pulled out from that branch. So when I asked him to buy this or that for me he will insists that "don't frown at me if I wasn't able to buy you those stuffs, I looked everywhere and that's it better luck next time."

     But one day, I was surprised because I didn't expected him to buy these things for me. I never told him that I'm running out of my feminine wash and my son needs a new bottle of bug spray.

     Boys will be boys- that's what I observed from my father and my brothers while growing up and I never  rarely saw them buy stuffs for my mother. But I know the hubby has this soft spot and him being considerate are enough to say that I'm still lucky cause some things in life comes unexpectedly :)

Have a great day ahead! Good Times!~

Product Review: San San Waterproof Eyeliner Pen with Vitamins A, C & E

     Hi lovelies! I'm sooo lazy these past few days. It's really hot everywhere. I can't concentrate on doing simple household chores and easily get pissed off with my son's naughtiness. I need to stay calm and some window shopping can stop my temperament from rising. 

     So today I wanna share some insights on my new eyeliner pen. If you're a follower of my blog, prolly you know that I made a rant on E.L.F. Eyeliner Pen. After that experienced, I veered away from all the pen eyeliner that I saw at Watsons and Sm Department store beauty section. I said to myself that I'll just stick to my San San gel liner and will try out other brands after I finished it. Luckily, my youngest sister gave me this eyeliner pen from San San that she bought on sale. I have positive review on their gel liner and I know this product will not fail me.

size: 0.07 fl.oz. / 2.0ml

price: 85php- on sale (Around $2.00)

place bought: HBC store, Sm Fairview

ingredients: Aqua, Styrene Acrylates Copolymer, Polyglyceryl-3 Distearate, Retinyl Palmitate  (Vitamin A), Ascorbyl Palmitate (Vitamin C), Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Propyl Paraben, CI 77491, CI 77499, CI 77492,CI 77891

What I like:

• Simple packaging and there's a color indicator below the pen
• Affordable
• Complete details listed on the packaging with batch, manufacturing and expiry date
• The pen tip is not dry and the shape is great for beginners to practice thin and thick lines
• Glides easily
• Color pay off is good
• Dries quickly after lining my eyes
• Easy to remove using my facial wipes
• No raccoon eyes

What I don't like:

• Always OOS! I already went to 5 HBC stores to get a backup and wasn't able to get one
• Not rub proof and smudge proof

Will I repurchase? Yes! I already considered this as my to-go eyeliner pen

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4/5 rating. After losing hope on my first eyeliner pen experience, I think I'm going back to try other brands. For ladies with oily eyelids, you can put eye primer first to avoid smudging. Since the weather is really hot, it is better to place the eyeliner in a cooler place to avoid drying out. Always replace cap after use and store it upside down. 

     That's all for now! What's your favorite eyeliner pen? Thanks for sharing.

Good Times!~

Product Review: Nature Republic Aqua Collagen Solution Marine Hydro Gel Eye Patch

     I'm not alone! Almost 80% of my friends and relatives suffers from sleepless nights leading to sleep deprivation. After giving birth three years ago my body clock became abnormal. My son's sleeping pattern is very abnormal. He's wide-awake at night and sleeping all day. Since I'm the one taking care of him, I need to follow his sleeping routine. But there were times that I really can't sleep and just wasting my time lying in bed. A sleepless night ruins everything. What's the most noticeable thing when you didn't get enough sleep or no sleep at all? It's our eyes! Dark under eyes and puffy eyebags are really obvious and can be a bit tricky to hide. 

     The most common solution to hide dark under eye is a concealer. There are lots of concealer to chose from. I'm not a makeup/beauty expert so I can't tell what a good concealer should be. All I know is that there are different kinds of concealer and finding the right one is a trial and error matter. What I want to share with you now is another remedy for those pesky dark eyebags. I'm not sure if I can call this post a review because some information are written in Korean. I don't understand it thus I lack the information regarding this thing.

     I know Korean cosmetics offer a wide range of choices for makeup and skin care. Their the ones who introduced BB creams and I owe my better skin from using this. So when I received my Nature Republic loot that I won from a giveaway, I'm giddy to try products that were new to me. I saw this eye patch thing-y and always forgot the name because it's too long. It's called Nature Republic Aqua Collagen Solution Marine Hydro Gel Eye Patch ( hingal... hingal )

     Is this the answer to my dark under eyes and puffy eyebags? Looking at the product alone and the word collagen on the package somehow gave me initial impression that this thing will work. But when I turn it on the other side, I don't see English translation of the product information, ingredients, manufacturing and expiration date. I also want to know if this eye patch is reusable. So thank you for the diagram that shows you how to use the eye patch

     I just used my phone camera here, that's why I wasn't able to show how dark my under eye was. No picture of the eye patch itself but looking from this on my under eye, it's like a jello/ Gel and a bit hard to remove from the packaging that it might break or something. It's thin but not paper thin. Gives a cooling sensation upon application and doesn't slides off my under eye even if I stand from time to time. It's very relaxing and those with sensitive nose will not be bother because it's unscented. Here's the result after 30 minutes:

     I don't know if there's a huge difference from the before and after photo. I guess using this regularly will give the best results. But it feels really good specially when you want to relax and pamper yourself at home. I'll just rely on my Garnier BB Under Eye Roll On for the mean time to mask my sleepless nights. 

     How do you take good care of your eyes?Do you use under eye creams and patches? I appreciate all your recommendations. Thanks for sharing!

Good Times!~

An Attempt to do an OOTD post

     Last Saturday, we went to my mother's hometown at Lucban, Quezon to attend my cousin's wedding. I don't know what to wear. I rarely attend to special occasions that's why my wardrobe consists of only few dresses and formal wear. The hubby told me to wear something comfy and stylish but I don't know if I can sport this kind of dress. So I looked inside my closet and this is what I found:
