StrawberryNet Love!

I want to apologize to all you,ladies, first because i don't get to leave comments lately. I have been so busy with my classes just because i have a couple of new students.

I went to the post office last week to pick up a parcel & im mighty excited with this one... seriously!
So when i saw that usual lilac ribbon on the box, i knew that the wait is over.

This is the 2nd part of my StrawberryNet sponsor experience.

Anyway, for this haul, i picked a hair mask & something for bf. I picked him an EDT & he loves it! haha

Now, this is what i have been really looking forward to try ever since i heard of this.
The L'oreal Professional Nature Masque Richesse Nourishing Masque for dry hair. Isn't that long? Try saying that for 3x!LOL!

I'll make a full review of this sometime later.

This is available at David's Salon locally for almost Php1000 but i was only able to grab this for almost half the price at StrawberryNet! I'm serious! I was browsing the site when i saw that it's only for $14 (i think). That's a steal, ne? That's why i really love this website!

Now, i'm not saying this just because they sponsored me. I really love this website!

I'm not sure if i mentioned it before but i am already receiving a 7.5% loyalty discount which means that i have already made more than 10 purchases from their site, plus they gave me a 1% special volume discount on top of that too!

You do the math! Didn't i just save money with all of those?!

That's why i really recommend this website. You will be able to snag great items at such an amazing discount!

Pay this website a visit & you might see something that you fancy & start earning that loyalty discount.

Have a great week,hunnies!
Jaa ne~!

Press Release: L'oreal Men Expert Pure & Matte Charcoal Black Foam

I remember the days when facial washes was not really a big deal back then. My mum was actually against using facial washes before for she had this notion that it's already a 'cosmetic' & would eventually give me zits. I insist on using the product that i was using up until the time that even she was already using it & it had already become a household item from then on.

But that was just addressed for females. It's actually good that companies now manufacture goods that are specifically made for their skin. Now in comes L'oreal Men Expert Pure & Matte Charcoal Black Foam. It's great to see that a very trusted brand to release something for men.

Let's get to know what L'oreal has to say about this product:

Combat Oily and Dull Skin.

Trust the Black Weapon.

Who is it for?
Oily prone skin? In the pores, impurities and excess oil/sebum accumulate. On your skin, sebum oxidizes and darkens, making you look shiny, unclean and dull. Take action!

What does it do?
 1. Cleanses, clears & mattifies for long
Enriched with Salicylic Acid, this formula cleanses and clears skin efficiently: excess sebum and dull dead cells are removed, skin is clear & mattified for long. Pores are visibly tightened and blackheads are reduced, your skin becomes soft, smooth and radiant!

2. Reinforces the skin’s natural resistance
ADS™ Active Defense System, a powerful soothing active ingredient that helps to reinforce the skin’s natural resistance against daily aggressions.
Results: Less irritation, less tightness and more comfort.

3. Fine bubbles remove impurities from skin
With L’Oréal Paris’ new foaming texture with fine bubbles, your skin is cleansed and impurities are washed out, This product helps to avoid sebum rebounding after wash and leaves you a pleasant fresh feeling.

Recommendation for Use:
Lather in the palm of your hand. Apply on wet face and gently massage, concentrating on forehead, nose and chin. Avoid eye contour areas. In case in contact with the eyes, rinse immediately. Suitable for daily usage.

Tested under dermatological control
Tested on Asian men’s skin

Suggested retail price for Men Expert Pure & Matte Charcoal Black Foam is Php195.  Available nationwide in leading department stores, drug & beauty stores, supermarkets and hypermarkets (SM Department Stores and Watsons Beauty Stores, PCX, Landmark Department Stores and Supermarket, Robinsons Department Stores, Shopwise, Mercury Drug Stores, Gaisano Metro Department Stores, 7-11).

Actually, i was sent a product by L'oreal & since i can't use it i gave it to my brother. I'll let you know what his feedback is about this product after a couple of weeks. My brother has a very very very very very very very oily skin. I think this runs in the family...that's why we all have large pores..
>_<
Thanks for that,mom!
(-__-")
LOL!

How about you?
What does your man use?
^_~

Hope y'all have a good day,sweeties!

L'oreal Featherlash vs Maybelline Full n' Soft

Mascara Review time again...

The last mascaras that i reviewed were the NYX Doll Eye & Maybelline Unstoppable.
Now its between the Maybelline Full N Soft & Loreal FeatherLash...

Let's go first with the product descriptions...

This is what the FeatherLash claims:

FeatherLash Softly Sweeping Mascara is a perfect marriage of beauty and technology, delivering fluttery, feathery lashes at the stroke of a (patented!) Lash Feathering Brush™. Sophisticated and technically advanced mascara with exclusive Glycerin and Vitamin E formula softens and nourishes lashes. Draw attention to your eyes in a soft, utterly feminine way.

• Lash Feathering Brush™ finely separates and lengthens each lash.
• Natural water-resistant formula sweeps through without clumps or flakes.
• Glycerin and Vitamin E soften and nourish lashes.
• Ophthalmologist-tested.
• Safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.

Now for the Maybelline Full N Soft:

Why You'll Love It

This mascara builds full, soft thick lashes without the brittle feel.

• Prevents loss of lashes with patented Quick Dissolve System that allows easy mascara removal
• No clumps, no globs
• Contact lens safe and hypoallergenic
• Washable; also available in waterproof formula

Now let's take a look at the wands...

The Full N Soft looks just like any ordinary wand where the bristles are 'scattered' to ensure that every strand would be coated with the product...

By the way, the shade that i have is Dark Brown...

On with the FeatherLash

It has a curved brush with the bristles neatly stacked....it just reminds me of any ordinary spoolie...but this one is just curved...


The shade that i have is Black

Now that we have that done with...lets get to the test....I'll share my opinion later & as we go along...I just looked upwards because i think you'll be able to see the difference this way than me looking straight. I have lots of pics of me looking at different angle & this one is the best way to tell...

This is how my lashes look like without any mascara at all..

You can't even see my lashes,huh? XD

As what i said a while ago Full N Soft is brown, while Featherlash is black so if Full N soft looks 'softer' than the other i guess its also because of the color.

So this is how it looks like after the first coat:
During this time i noticed the difference in 'drying' time...Full N Soft doesn't take that long to dry...whereas FatherLash takes a while to dry..Since i was looking up, the moment that i looked down the traces of mascara is very evident on my lid area...
Huh...so much for that fluttery finish... (-_-")

Ok, on with the 2nd coat...

Now you'll be able to see how the Full N Soft actually makes my lashes look thicker & longer...compare it with the pic above..

Then a 3rd coat....

Looking between the featherlash & the full n soft, i have to say that the latter makes my lashes look fuller...

Ok, on with my personal opinion...

Featherlash's formula is 'watery' & thin, actually when i applied it, i have to scrape the product off of my wand really hard because if i don't, the product just gets all clumpy & settles on my lashline. Since it dries slow, it just goops up on the bottom of my lashes making my lashes stick together making them heavy...


You can't put too much because it will just weigh your lashes down...see this?Full N Soft at least was able to hold the curl better that FeatherLash...it just made my eye look droopy because of it...

One of the reason i did not put a pic of me looking straight is that my eyes look so uneven with featherlash because it just made my lashes heavy from the formula...& it dries a long time..i feel like i have to put my face in front of the fan just to dry it out... (-_-")

Full N Soft on the other hand is more waxy & lighter compare to featherlash. The wand makes application a lot easier because it separates each lashes & coats them individually unlike the featherlash where it just forms into spikes. One thing more that i would prefer this instead of featherlash is that i don't need to scrape the product as much i need to with the other one...so it saves me time...Plus it dries quickly...

Do they flake? Or smudge?Does it stay for hours?
As for the flaking part....im happy to say that both didn't flake...yay for that!

For the smudging, featherlash would smudge if you weren't able to dry it completely before going out...But it stays that way after it dries..(which takes forever!!!!)
Full N Soft flakes a little, but not something that is very alarming...

As for their staying power, it will stay on your lashes provided that you don't cry or wipe your eyes accidentally...
Remember, they are not waterproof, so it won't really 'stay' unlike how waterproof mascaras do..

So i'll leave the rest to you, which do you think makes my puny lashes look longer?

Lancome Bi-Facil

Never have i had a product that actually made me want to do a review that much...
...only Bi-Facil...
Never had a product actually made me want to try it all for myself...
...only Bi-Facil...
Never had a product interested me that much that waiting for it to arrive made me go bananas...
...only Bi-Facil....

Ok,enough with that!

I sound like an advertiser. But seriously, of all the products that i have read & tried, only this one had me going in circles. Lots have said that this is good, some said no, others said that its not oily, others said it is....It made me go crazy trying to figure out what is what. There are lots of products that have different reviews & opinions from everybody, but its only this that made me itch to try.

On to the review....

Double-phase, fresh-as-water liquid eye makeup remover.

Activates when shaken to gently whisk away even waterproof eye makeup, while conditioning and refreshing the skin. Ideal for sensitive skin and contact lens wearers. Leaves eyes feeling cool and relaxed, with no oily residue. Ophthalmologist-Tested For Safety.

Like most Eye makeup remover, it has 2 layers. On which im guessing that the top layer is the oily stuff. You have to shake it so to mix those 2. As soon as you do so, it will have this whitish milky look. Then of course, tip the bottle to get it on your cotton pad.

It was said to 'leave no oily residue'...which had me thinking...did i miss something? Because i can fairly remember when i used it...(the moment that i got it), that it did have that greasy feel...I remember that i shook the bottle, made sure that i get the 2 layers mix before i used it. But then it still got that oily residue after i used it...so much for wishing that this is actually 'oil-free'.

Anyways, its not a big deal since its a really gentle makeup remover. It didn't sting my eye...not one bit!...& makes the removal of waterproof mascara fairly easy...even my CG Lash Blast! I thought that the only thing that can easily remove CG Lash Blast is Muriatic Acid...lol!...but Bi-Facil was able to remove it with just one cotton pad...cool!

I can still remember when i used Clinique's Take the day off cleansing makeup remover on my eyes to remove my makeup, it stings a lot & made my eyes all red (good thing that it was my friends' & she just asked me to try it). So if im going to compare it to that then i'd go for this... I also tried L'oreal Plenitude Eye Makeup Remover (again,just once) & it stings a bit, though not as much as Clinique did & it took a couple of tries before i was able to take out my waterproof mascara...but i like the cooling effect of that...

Anyways, i haven't tried that much eye makeup remover...as what i said, i only use cold cream or Olive Oil in removing my face make up & currently, L'oreal Dermo Expertise Lip & Eye make up remover for my eye makeup.

Today, i went out to buy something on the bookstore. Since Im just gonna be out for a couple of minutes i don't need to put that much makeup, but decided to just put mascara & line my eyes with gel liner. Of course i used CG Lash Blast & Fanny Serrano Gel Liner

Tried to take a good picture but i failed...but I still did just so that you would have an idea what i did. So of course i did it to both of my eyes. Then as soon as i get home its time to take it off.

I used one cotton pad for each eye. I tip the bottle 2x to get Bi-Facil on my pad, & 3x for L'oreal. I used L'oreal on my right eye & Bi-Facil on my left. I was actually surprised to find out that it works just the same. Same oily residue & gentle formula...



Both made my eyes 'cloud' a bit, but just for a couple of seconds..a few blinks & its gone...
As for the oily residue, i don't have problems with that because i make sure that as soon as i took all my makeup off i wash my face with a cleanser.
As for it being gentle, it really is gentle. It won't sting your eyes so it's good for those people who wear contact lens.
Both took my eye makeup using just one cotton pad....which is great..

Over all, my experience with Bi-Facil is good. Although its expensive, but i think its worth your money. Since i just need a little amount of the product to take my eye makeup off, i guess the small bottle will last for a couple of months. Though for me, L'oreal is doing its job same with Bi-Facil, so i don't see myself buying the big bottle (for now).

How about you,what do you use as your eye makeup remover?
