My Birthday Celebration

2012-01-29T02:53:00.000-08:00

Late post but since I love reminiscing what happens every year, I want to add this to remember my birthday celebration. :)

I am now 25! Ah! I feel old. Hahah! I know you people probably shaking your head saying "that's not old" I get that a lot whenever I say stuff like this. But of course hanging out with my friends/cousins who's in their teens or barely going 22, I feel old. LOL! I still remember the day I turned 18! :P

I had a great start of this year. I thought last year was my year as I was born 1987. So I thought I was born under year of the rabbit. Turns out that Jan 6 belongs to the past year so I just recently found out that I was actually Year of the Tiger. Makes sense! No wonder 2010 was awesome! LOL! Anyway, they say the Tigers will have a great year this Dragon year so yes I'm excited!!

The day of my birthday, we went to San Diego and stayed there for 3 days. We stayed in a suite.

Then by dinner time, Adrian took me out to eat. We went to Island Prime.

Fresh oysters for appetizer :)

Here's what we ordered:

The view is amazing!! Over looking the ocean. I bet its more mesmerizing if its day time or sunset :)

My wish that day.. well... :)

It was such a lovely evening <3 The best birthday yet! :)

The next day, we went to La Jolla to watch the sunset. Such a gorgeous view here :) Didn't see the sunset. LOL It was cloudy!

So we just cam whore'd instead :P

Then we had dinner at Ben's Bar and Restaurant where our friend works. They sang a song to me there.

Then on our 3rd day, we just went strolling at the outlets.

Lastly, his gift to me! *Squeals!!* I knew this year is going to be great! Lol! Materialisticly aside, i've been wanting this bag for the longest time! But I'm so clumsy that I'm afraid this bag will get dirty in no time >_<

I hear angels singing!! It's so beautiful!!! LOL!!

Well, that concludes my birthday celebration weekend with the hubby :)

Then my co-workers also threw a party for me. Aweee!!! My co worker Kristine arranged a lunch out at Red Robin for me and her and my other co workers decorated the entire table with cute stuff such as hello kitty napkins, cute glasses and birthday candies <3

I am blessed to have great co workers :)

That summarized my birthday :) 2012 so far has been awesome to me :D

I have a few things I want to blog soon :) Really, this time I'll commit! Hahaha!

-- Skinfood Haul

-- Birthday gifts from friends including from my friend May <3 love her!!!

-- Work out stuff

..and more!!! Stay tuned :D

Thank You!

2012-01-10T20:39:00.000-08:00

I want to thank you all for the heart felt greetings and for always being there for me. For the sweetest surprises, text messages, comments, calls, and FB greetings you have sent my way. Also for encouraging me to get back to blogging.

I have met a lot of wonderful people through here and I can't thank you all enough for being true to me. For the friendship, for the sweetest and kindness you have shown me.

I am not the typical "beauty blogger" I can't even consider myself one because as you all know, I don't really blog often, follow the newest trend or even go to make up events like the other girls do. I have a full time job, I am also a wife, and blogging is usually my outlet -- only when I find time. I do like to blog more often but sometimes life gets in the way. Hehe!

I miss everyone here.

I'll be back soon....

Happy Birthday To Me!

2012-01-06T00:00:00.000-08:00

Hiiiiiii *waves* OMG OMG I know, I've been super MIA! As in super duper MIA!! I didn't even do my 2011 Recap and didn't greet Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you. I deeply apologize for neglecting this blog. I'll be back soon.. Once I begin to pick up pieces of my life back again :)

25 years and young! I feel somewhat older and more mature.. I have learned so many things during my 24. I went through a lot, learned a lot, fell a lot, got up a lot. I wouldn't say its my best year by far because I enjoyed my 23 more than my 24. Nonetheless, I'm so grateful for everything..

Thank you to all my friends, blogger friends and family who's been keeping in touch with me even though I haven't been blogging that much. I love you all. You all make life so complete.

Thank you for all the birthday greetings as well.

Now, I'll make a wish and hoping for the best year!

Black Friday Haul

2011-12-08T21:19:00.000-08:00

I know this is such a late post. You know me, always procrastinating. Hah!!! Anyway, just want to share you guys what I got during Black Friday. I was one of the crazy people who went on the stroke of midnight and joined the madness. Hahaha!

Did not buy much.. the hubby got it all for me. YAY!

Here is the Tory Burch Sandals I got and it was on sale for $99. Such a steal. I love Tory Burch for its classiness :) Would be perfect for Spring/Summer. YAY!

My new Juicy bag *As pink as my juicy* yay!! Another Pink bag! hehee! It was on sale. 30% off. Hmmm.. I forgot how much but it was less than $150.

Then I got a matching wallet! Soooo cute! It gets dirty right away though :(

Then on to my guilty pleasure!! True Religion Jeans! Seriously, I frikken love TR jeans..

This one has Swarovski on it and its sooo preeeetttyyy!! :D :D :D

Then this one has some kind of thing embedded to the pockets. So cuteee!!!

Then I also went to Sephora (Used my VIB 20% off) and got this cute Matte Hello Kitty compact! So pretty!! I don't want to use it. Hahah!

*Squeals* the bow looks nice.. too bad it doesn't stay like that once you use the top part.

The YSL lippie I got. I don't like the color much so I might exchange it for something else. I don't know I'm still debating.

My new Juicy bag :)

My super adorable husband :D Thanks B!! You are amazing as always. I love you!!!

That was it. Hehe!

Beauty Review: Swarovski Flatback SS12 Rose Nail Art from BornPretty

2011-12-06T00:46:00.000-08:00

Disclaimer: This product has been sent to me by Born Pretty for review purposes only. I did not get paid to do this post.

Swarovski Flatback SS12 Rose

Crystal 2028 Nail Art

I received these Swarovski Flatback Rose Crystals along with the Hello Kitty Stickers a month ago. Only now that I was able to play with them. I was thinking of maybe using them to bling my stuff but I don't have a glue.

PACKAGING: It comes in a folded plastic bag and was shipped to me using a bubble wrapped brown envelope.

STORE: These Swarovski Flatback Rose Cyrstals came from BORN PRETTY (http://www.bornprettystore.com) An online store that has variety of cute stuff. They have cute stuff for nails, make up, and lots more. They also offer FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Gotta love that!

PRODUCT and PRICE: There are different colors of these Swarovski Crystals.

Color: Rose Crystal

Quantity: 144 pieces

Size: SS 12 (Approx 3mm - 3.2mm)

Direct Link to the product: http://www.bornprettystore.com/swarovski-flatback-ss12-rose-crystal-2028-nail-p-1439.html

Here are the different colors to choose from:

PROMO CODE: Here is a promo code you can use for a 10% off discount:

USING THE SWAROVSKI FLATBACK ROSE CRYSTAL: Since I didn't have a glue, I decided to just use it on my nails. Here as you can see, I painted my nails with a blue base color (you can also use black nail polish) Then drew hearts using OPI "Steady as she Rose" from the Pirates of Caribbean Collection. I sucked at drawing. Haha! I used toothpick to draw. Then after I put the top coat, I applied the swarovski flatback on my ring fingernails then sealed it with another layer of top coat.

It just adds bling-bling to make your nails look more "kawaii"

The only thing is maybe just buy a glue because with the top coat only, the swarovski falls out so easy.

But I love it because my nails look cute!!!

OVERALL: I'll buy a glue next time and buy more colors and I'll start blinging my stuff! These Swarovski flatbacks is so shiny and it just adds character to any stuff you would bling.

Do you like blinging your stuff? : )

Beauty Review: Hana Professional Flat Iron 1" from Misikko

2011-12-02T00:31:00.000-08:00

Disclaimer: This product has been sent to me by Misikko for review purposes only. I did not get paid to do this post and I am not affiliated with the said company.

MISIKKO HANA PROFESSIONAL FLAT IRON 1"

I received another package from Misikko and really it never disappoints! I played with the iron for a week before I made a review.

PACKAGING: Well it's no secret on how amazing the packaging is. Total wow-wers whenever I see the box all nicely packaged. And its pink!! PLUS points for me because I love Pink! The bows are gorgeous and they always have extra goodies inside :)

STORE: Missiko is an online store which has a lot of available hair tools from flat iron, blow drier, and curling iron. They offer FREE SHIPPING. They also have other stuff available. It's worth checking it on especially since they are always having discounts on their products.

PRODUCT: I mostly own 1" flat irons. It's thin and easy to play with. It easy to create nice curls using a 1' flat iron and I shall show you how my curls turn out using this product.

Here is the description from their website: http://www.misikko.com/hana-professional-flat-iron.html

PRICE: Like I said in my previous reviews of flat iron, it's always good to spend more on a quality like flat iron that buy a cheap one that doesn't like for a long time. You'll save more that way and it guarantees better hair days :)

CURL USING FLAT IRON: Unlike my last review of the other Hana Flat Iron1.5", this curling iron (Hana Professional Flat Iron 1") creates more defined curls. The other one is more on big, loose curls.

Here's my hair after I toweled dry it. Messy hair.

Then I apply Hana Shine Shield Thermal Protectant all over my damp hair. Then I blow dry my hair upside down. OMGGG I love this Hana Shine Shield Thermal Protectant. It just makes my hair so smooth and soft. So manageable that when I wake up in them morning, my hair just feels oh so smooth :) It also smells soooo good!

See the difference? Super shiny and looks oh so soft! This is my hair without ironing it. If I do use flat iron to straighten it more, my hair will just look flat so I rarely straighten it.

Here it is half curled using the Hana Professional Flat Iron 1". As you can see, the 1" curls are more defined.

I kind of made the other side more loose by having the flat iron curled to my hair for only 4 seconds instead of 6-7 seconds like the other side of my hair to have loose curls.

Then I ran my fingers through the curls to separate them and make them look more natural.

Voila!! Hello Sexy curls! Hahaha!

And now for some more self portrait photos just because my hair looks awesome! Hahaha!

OVERALL: It's a great flat iron to have because not only you can use it to straighten your hair, it also creates sexy curls :)

I give it 5/5 stars!

Hope you like this review!

11.11.11

2011-11-21T02:20:00.000-08:00

"Hello everyone!! First time blogging on my iPhone.. I'm using the app called "blogger".. Let's see if this will be okay.. Hahah! I wanted to blog since yesterday but I slept almost the whole day and I'm still very tired..

I'm at work right now.. Usually we don't have signal here but I got lucky so yeah here I am blogging on our down time! Yay!!!" --This has been sitting on my draft for a few days now.. Yeah talk about being a major procrastinator. I am so ashamed! Anyway, I just want to share with you guys my 11.11.11 Weekend. Did you make a wish? I surely did. I didn't wish on anything particular though. Just something for me and my family's benefit, and no I did not wish for world peace. Maybe I should have. :P

Anyway, we started the midnight of 11.11.11 with a movie/wine night with my friend Kim. We were watching this Tagalog scary movie. It was funny and scary at the same time. :P We were also drinking Stella Rosa -- my favorite wine of all time!

Then in the morning when we woke up, we were joined by my hubby and his friend Jez and we went to Monrovia. I took a bottle of Stella Rosa (white this time) with me so we can drink at the hotel. Hehe!

For some reason, I love staying at the hotels. Why? Because when you come back, everything is clean again. Bed sheets are nice and fresh and I dunno, it's just so relaxing! Wish I have a maid. Hahaha!

I cut my hair since the last time I post about my hair care, but it's getting long again. I don't want to cut it again this time. I want it longer. :)

Also I have gained weight. I dunno if you guys can tell but I was 118 lbs in the picture below. Right now I'm 115 lbs. My weight goes yoyo between 114 - 118 lbs, it's crazy. Btw, I'm 5'2" so my ideal weight should be is 108 - 121 lbs.

After hanging out at the hotel, we decided to go to Glendale Galleria. Bought a few stuff there. I don't even remember what I got. I think I got some cute ankle boots from Forever21. It was really cheap and best of all, it was comfy so I bought it :) I'll show in a much later post. :P

Then I was looking for a sweatshirt or a nice MP (Manny Pacquiao) Jacket and saw this. It was so expensive so I didn't buy it. XP It was like $85! So pricey! I'll just wait for the sale. Hahaha! But I'm loving the color red lately.

I also bought this sweatshirt from Forever21. Sooooo cute!! Why do I get crazy over HK? I dunno either..

Biggest purchase of the day is this MACBOOK AIR. Since it's our "month-sary" that day, and it's 11.11.11, once in a lifetime date.. we decided to treat each other and bought this laptop. It's been awesome. Now we don't have to fight who uses the macbook! Hahaha! I love apple computers. Best ever! I had my old one (macbook) for 3 years now and it never crashed, it never slowed down and best of all, no virus!!!

Saw this at Tokyo store there and got it. Such cute eyelashes! and It's Hello Kitty!! *squeals* i need to go back there and buy some more. I'm loving the thin band. It doesn't poke my eyes.

Then we also went to The Americana Brand. Such a nice mall with super expensive stores. Hahah! I didn't buy anything. Just went walking.

I am in love with this picture that I took! Great lighting!

This is taken at the Victoria Secret -- trying out some lipgloss.

Anyway, that concludes my day that day. It was awesome!!! :) and the next day MANNY PACQUAIO WON! Congratulations!! Filipino Pride. Although it was such a close fight, and made me held my breath, I'm glad he won. Hey, statistics don't lie. That's all I can say! Hahaha!

How did you all spend your 11.11.11?

P/S: All photos are taken using my iPhone

PP/S: iPhone 4s takes awesome pics ^^

Hello Kitty Lovely Sticker Easy Fast

Glitter Nail Art

I received these stickers almost a month ago but I haven't had time to play with them. Anyway, if you know me, then you know I get crazy over Hello Kitty stuff so when I got this, I was so happy!!!

PACKAGING: They sent the stickers on a bubble wrap envelope, along with the swarovski flat backs which I'll review later.

STORE: These HK stickers came from BORN PRETTY (http://www.bornprettystore.com) It is an online store where they sell stuff for nail arts, cosmetics and more. They also offer FREE SHIPPING WORDWIDE. I love Free Shipping ^_^

PRODUCT and PRICE: There's 10 pieces for $5.23. You can also buy it wholesale. It's like any other sticker -- it has an adhesive part where you pressed it on your nail and add top coat to seal it.

http://www.bornprettystore.com/10pcs-hello-kitty-lovely-sticker-easy-fast-glitter-nail-art313-p-2167.html

PROMO CODE: Here is a coupon you can use for 10% off From Bornprettystore.com

USING THE STICKER: Start of with clean nails. I also put Nail Defense on my nails to prevent breakage.

I painted my Nails with the OPI MUPPETS "Designer de Better" nail polish

Then I chose which sticker goes to which finger. I chose the big Hello Kitty to go on my ring finger.

Then I used Seche Vite Top Coat to seal the stickers.

YAY So pretty!! Nails look extra kawaii because of the cute stickers :D

OVERALL: It's nice and cute! Just remember to seal it with a top coat, otherwise it peels easily. Also when Removing with acetone, it's kind of hard to peel the whole sticker. So leave the acetone on it for a few seconds more than usual.

Collective Haul!

2011-11-11T03:22:00.000-08:00

Hello again!! I know.. I know.. no excuse as to what I was MIA again.. I feel like a mushroom.. just pops out of nowhere at times.. No one knows when I'll post another blog entry which is not good. I feel like I want to blog often with just a picture and maybe caption it but that's why tumblr's there. (I don't have a tumblr.) I even thought of making one but what for? I can't even keep up with blogger and twitter anymore..

Anyway, here I am.. back with more stuff/junks I don't need. LOL! I went to Imperial with my friend and a fellow blogger Angelique. Of course we went crazy again :P I get crazy with glitter nail polishes!

THE MUPPETS COLLECTION

such a fun collection to own.. of course I gotta own the stand! Hahaha!

Excuse Moi - such a pretty pink polish! Glitter madness!!!

Gone Gonzo! - Blue glitters!! Uber nice!!!

Designer de Better! - such a gorgeous and sassy color to own :)

Warm & Fozzie - nice brown..

Rainbow Connection - the love of all glitters! Mix colors!! really nice and sparkly!

Gettin' Miss Piggy With It! - one of my favorites!! such a nice red!

All in all, this collection is gorgeous but very sheer. You need to paint your nails in lots of layers!

ESSIE COCKTAIL BLING COLLECTION

This is their winter collection. I'm still waiting for the glittery ones.

Cocktail Bling, Brooch the subject, Bangle Jangle

Bobbing for Baubles, Size Matters (hahah!), School of Hard Rocks

I haven't tried any of the shades yet.. but it looks really pretty!!!

Juicy Couture!! I love JC! Hence my blog name "As Pink As My Juicy".. it's just so girly and cute!!!

It's just so nice... and so girly!! :D Best of all, it was on sale!! 30% off!

I also got this lipstick: Girl About Town. I exchanged 6 empties so I got this for free! YAY for freebies!!

Here's a creepy picture of me with this scary baby. Hahah! It was during halloween! LOL!

I'll update soon again!

Sephora FF Sale 2011 Haul ♥

2011-10-29T02:02:00.000-07:00

Hello again! =) Yay for Sephora FF 2011! I think it has been like a tradition for me to get something from Sephora FF Sale once a year (since I started blogging). But last year was my biggest haul yet because I was able to buy twice. Hahah! (last year Sephora FF Sale 2010: http://withadriyah.blogspot.com/2010/11/sephora-ff-sale-2010-haul.html) But this year was different. You can only use 1 code per email address so I really had to think what I want before ordering.

Anyway, here's my haul for this year:

15th Anniversary Urban Decay Palette - been lemming for it since it came out. I swatched it @ Sephora and the colors are gorgeous!! They are all new colors (i think?) and I just couldn't resist it. I know, i know.. I have so much eyeshadows already and don't need it. I have eyeshadow problems I tell ya! lol!

Nars Blush in G-spot! OMGGGG When I first learned about this new Nars multiples, I chuckled. Nars is really good @ naming their products huh? LOL! But i saw swatches on line and thought, OMG I gotta have it!!! My first ever multiples =)

Looks gorgeous in picture huh? :)

I am in love with YSL mascara especially the Faux Cils one. Ok, I did try going drugstore mascara but its not just the same.. I bought Maybelline falsies a month ago and it sucked! BLAH! I have never tried other mascaras yet that does what YSL Faux Cils does (well maybe Buxom?) to my lashes!! Long, voluminous!! I love it! & now they have this new Faux Cils called SHOCKING? Let's see if I'll get shock! Hahaha!

I am always in need of a lip stain. Love using it.

Necessity -- black eyeliner. Nothing beats UD 24/7 eyeliner.

My UDPP dried out.. Hated the old packaging so I'm glad they changed it. Was going to buy the original one but I thought why not try the other UDPP.. so yes, I'll see if I like it.

That was all my Sephora FF Sale Haul. "That was all"?? I thought it was a lot. I was cringing while I clicked "PLACE THE ORDER" button. LOL! I dunno how I was able to buy so much last year. I must had a gift card or something. Hahaha! But that's it until the end of the year (hopefully) Trying to be good @ resisting on buying make up =____= I do have more hauls to post (collective ones).

Oh, also I got the new iPhone 4S last Oct 18. Then I bought a blingy HK case to match my white iPhone. I looovvveee this Phone!! :)

Beauty Review: Hana Titanium Flat Iron 1.5"

MISIKKO HANA TITANUM FLAT IRON 1.5"

Hello Everyone!! Another Beauty Review!! Hooray!! I received this package almost 2 weeks now. Was just testing and playing with it before I give it a full review.

PACKAGING: Tell you what! Misikko has the best packaging ever! I know even if sometimes we don't admit, but we know we are suckers for cute packaging -- its all about the presentation and Misikko won it hands down! Just look at everything -- all organized and such beautiful, carefully wrapped products! I am blown away!

STORE: Misikko is an online store. Here is the website: http://www.misikko.com.

They have every hair tools you can think of. From flat iron, curling iron to blow dryer. They also have some beauty stuff like nail polish and more. Best of all, they offer FREE SAME DAY SHIPPING!!!!! Who doesn't want that? :)

PRODUCT: This is my first 1.5" flat iron. I usually use 1" only because my hair is thin and don't need a wide one plus I kind of think it's bulky. Maybe I'm not just used to it. I like how thin the plates look though and how it doesn't pull my hair when I'm using it. It heats up really fast and you can even raise the temperature higher if your hair is thick.

Here are some description from their website: http://www.misikko.com

For more info about this product, here is the direct link: http://www.misikko.com/hana-titanium-flat-iron.html

PRICE:

Reasonable price for a nice product. It's very worth it. I have bought a $200 flat iron before and it lasted me 5 years. If you want a good one, it's better to invest in a high quality that you know will lasts long. Right now, this particular flat iron is on sale :)

CURLING USING FLAT IRON: Ok, at first I don't know how I'll be able to curl my hair using a 1.5" flat iron. I thought it will be too thick to have my hair wrap around the plates. But instead, I just flipped my hair outwards using the flat iron and viola, it curled!

Like I said, I love how it doesn't pull my hair and that it curls right away. Only 5 seconds of it on my hair and it got wavy. Beautiful soft curls!

OVERALL: I totally recommend this flat iron! It does what its promised and I'm very happy with it. Not only it straightens your hair, but see, it also creates nice soft curls.

Hmmmm.. what do you think? :)

Make Up Haul and Hana Misikko + Update

2011-10-14T00:11:00.000-07:00

Hellooooooo again!! ^^ How do you guys like my new banner. Ew, I know kind of vain having my huge picture plastered in the front like that. Hahah! :)

Hmmm.. updates updates.. I wanna change the layout of my blog. But i cannot find anything similar. I kind of want a white one with a little touch of pink. I like something simple but cute.

Hmmm.. what else? Oh yeah, been working like crazy again. 16 hour shifts are back with revenge because I just worked 4 days of that shift back to back last week. I fully enjoy my days off because I'd get to sleep in hence the lack of updates because on my days off, I'm working as sleeping beauty. LOL!

I also preorder the iPhone4s. I was kind of disappointed that it wasn't the iPhone5. I wanted to wait for that 5 but my 3Gs is slowly giving up on me. I loved my 3Gs so much though. We've been together through thick and thin.

Anyway, these are the stuff I got lately..

Saw this at the CCO and well, I'm loving red lipstick for Fall. This is from the Venomous Villains collection from last year. This lipstick is called Heartless :3

Then Inglot palette! This whole palette costs $30.00 I love the palette itself because it's so sleek. I chose these 5 colors.

I chose neutral colors :)

Then I ran out of my MAC blacktrack but wasn't willing to pay for it for now, so I got a cheaper version. Hope it works the same. Haha!

Then I downgraded to a cheaper mascara. Yup, from YSL Faux cils to Maybelline. Heehee! I'm on a budget. :P

Oh, also this box came this week! So excited to play with it. My hair is straight so I'll see if I can curl using this. The packaging is love!! HANA Misikko definitely knows how to package their items! ♥ Reviews coming soon ^^ *Note: below item is sent for review purposes only. I'm not affiliated with the company and I did not get paid to post this picture. Above items were purchased by me - with my own money*

Me driving while "cam-whoring" LOL!

Can't wait to get these braces off :D

Well, hope you guys have a nice weekend - as for me, I'm working the whole weekend! *sigh*

Beauty Review: Geo Princess Mimi aka Bambi Lens Almond

2011-10-08T03:51:00.000-07:00

Note: I suggest going to an optometrist first to make sure you're okay to use any kinds of contact lenses/circle lens whether if its prescription or for cosmetic use only. You should not wear lens to sleep or for more than 8 hours. Always wash your hands before putting them and when you're taking them out. Always use eye drops if you feel like your eyes feels dry. Again, don't use these kinds of lens if your eyes are too sensitive or if your doctor tells you not to.

GEO PRINCESS MIMI AKA BAMBI LENS IN ALMOND

Hi Everyone!! Another Lens review!! Whew! Been reviewing a lot of lenses lately. They're fun to wear especially now that Halloween is coming, these lens can play a major part of our costumes =).

ABOUT THE ONLINE STORE WHERE THESE LENSES CAME FROM:

These lenses are provided by http://www.lensvillage.com for review purposes only. I was not compensated by the said company. I'm also not affiliated with them. This is my honest opinion about these lens.

Here is the link of these lens: http://www.lensvillage.com/geo-princess-mimi-aka-bambi-lens-almond-xmm-204/

They are based in Malaysia. They Deliver Worldwide and has lots of available lens to order. They promise 100% Authentic Lenses.

GEO PRINCESS MIMI AKA BAMBI LENS IN ALMOND

These are with camera flash

Below are pictures of No flash

Note: my eye color is dark brown almost black

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Price: $23.00

Geo Princess Mimi aka Bambi Lens Almond XMM-204 15mm

Price is for ONE PAIR (2 Lenses)

Life Span : 1 Year Disposable

Power Available : 0.00 to -6.00

Diameter : 15 mm

Base Curve : 8.6

Manufacturer : GEO Medical , South Korea

Don't forget to soak in your circle lens into the solution for 24 hours before use.

MY REVIEW:

PRICE: For $23.00/pair, these pair is not bad at all. It lasts all year long and the color really is nice!

SIZE: I'm loving all the lenses with 15mm size because it really gives you that doe eyed look - kind of look innocent and child like. It gives you like that blank stare that sometimes people don't like.

COMFORTABILITY: I have mentioned before in my past reviews of lenses that GEO lenses doesn't feel comfortable on my eyes. I have astigmatism and I feel like GEO lenses has the least amount of Oxygen that past thru the lenses, letting my eyes get dry more. So When I received these GEO Princess Mimi aka Bambi Lens in Almond, I already prepared myself with a good eyedrop (I use Lychee Rohto drops) and the case going to work because I was already excepting that after 3 hours, I would re-wet them or even take them out. I had used Geo Lenses in the past and I can only tolerate them for 5 hours.

BOY WAS I WRONG!!!

These lens proved me wrong! 3 hours has passed, and they still feel comfy. I didn't have to re-wet them at all. 5 hours has passed, and still my eyes feel hydrated. 7 hours has passed, that's when I re-wet them, but still it's nice to know that not all GEO lenses have that effect on me. I'm glad to be proven wrong.

HOW IT LOOKS: I also love how natural these lens look! Almond color is the way to go if you have dark brown almost black eyes like me. It almost look like it could be my natural eye color. It blends well.

AVAILABILITY: It is currently in stock at http://www.lensvillage.com I see other lens company has this out of stock. These series are so popular. Now I know why =)

OVERALL:

Hope you like this review and if you have any questions, feel free to email me at ayaleoncio@gmail.com

Beauty Review: Half Pearl Decoration Set for Nails

2011-10-03T01:35:00.000-07:00

Note: Picture Heavy!

Hello again everyone!! I'm back!! I always want to post daily but somehow, somewhere, my brain isn't picking up the motivation to write. It's sad I know, but I also know, soon I'll be back on track. After all, I really do love blogging! ♥

Ok, so I received this Nail Art Colorful Half Pearl Decoration Set for Nails from BornPrettyStore.com.

I had it for a long time, but work and school had me get delayed in reviewing this product. I have actually used it a lot of times already but I wanna show you how I do my nails.

First Of, BornPrettyStore.com offers a lot of cute stuff in their website from make up, eyelashes, nail stuff and more. I had purchased twice from their website and never had problems. The shipping may take a while but that's just because its coming from a different country.

Here is the price of the Nail Art Half Pearl Decoration Set for Nails. It is much cheaper if you purchase more. I suggest asking your friends if they want one so you can order it in more quantity Also, BornPrettyStore.com offers FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE! Yay!

Here's a 10% coupon for you guys :)

BornPrettyStore.com

Here is my naked nails. I used to have small, brittle nails. But growing my nails has been that easy since I've been cleaning it regularly (i.e. file, removing the cuticle and cutting ingrown) and also been using Nail Defense for months and it's been keeping my nails healthy.

This nail polish set (Gradient set) was given to me by my friend Rina (she used to be a blogger **HI RINA**)

♥ I used purple color on my tips.

♥Then used the darker glitter nail polish on top of the purple and mid half of my nails.

♥ Then I used the white glitter to cover the end part of my nails.

♥...and this is how it looks! :)

♥I used a dotting tool to pick up the little half pearls and started covering my tips with the purple pearl.

It's so easy to do! And so kawaii looking too!! For a cheap nail art, you can have cute nails already. There's no way I'm an expert in doing my nails. Heck, I make lots of mistakes painting my nails alone so I'm pretty sure anybody can do this nail art!

If I can do it, you can do it too!

Hope you enjoy this post!! Until next time!!

BF/GF Anniversary & Some Stuff

2011-09-26T02:54:00.000-07:00

I couldn't sleep. I know, I've been MIA again. There's no excuses. You're probably tired of me saying about me working doubles now that's why I couldn't post. Blame it more on my laziness and lack of motivation. But really, it's work. Gotta pay the bills. *Joys of being a grown up*

Last September 11 *I know, what a date to celebrate D:* We celebrated our 5th year as Boyfriend/Girlfriend. Yes, even if we are now married, we still celebrate that very day that we became couples.

This picture was taken when we were just 19 and he was 20. (I am now 24, and he's 25). Time flies so fast but I can very much say that whatever butterflies I used to feel before, I still feel whenever this man kisses me

I woke up to this:

Such a gorgeous bouquet!

stargazer lilies are so beautiful :)

We had a quiet dinner at Mastro's :)

What I ordered for appetizers. I forgot the name but its mushroom :) It was so yummy!!!

What my main dish: 2 lobster tails. Adrian ordered steak :)

Lobster baked potato :D

Overall, that day was so much fun especially if celebrated with the one you love :D

Oh, I saw some stuff at Sephora. New Hello kitty stuff!! I want!! :D

photo image from sephora.com

I want this paddle brush!! It's too cute :D

photo image from sephora.com

and this palette!! *squeals* such gorgeous colors!! Perfect for fall season :) I shall wait for their FF!

That's it for now. More updates coming!!!

Haul and Update :)

2011-09-11T21:04:00.000-07:00

Hello lovelies!! It's been awhile since I did Haul posts and if you know me, you know I love reading about haul posts to see the latest buys and what's good to buy and what not.

This is a collective haul. Didn't buy it all in one day.

Note: I purchased everything in this post with my own money.

First off, is this Hard Candy Blush. I haven't bought any make up lately.. I'm glad of how I've become with make up. I used to buy weekly before. Now, lucky if I buy one or two item in a month =) I saw this one at walmart and thought that the packaging is cute. Reminds me of the blushes at Benefit. However, didn't like the brush. I use my MAC blush brush when applying this.

Then saw this at Intimate basics at the mall and thought it was really cute! Hello Kitty flannel shorts for only 2/$15! Great buy! Plus its super comfy :D

Another make up item I bought this month: Dior Lip Polish. It's not that pigmented but it makes my lips smooth. When my lips are dry, I just apply this and voila! My lips look smooth and hydrated :) I partner this with any lipstick. I love how its not sticky!

My guilty pleasure: Shoes! It was on sale for $70 at Nordstrom Rack. I love it so much! It was love at first wear! :D It's super comfy and when I first walk into it, my feet felt happy! LOL! No kidding! It was really comfortable like my rainbow flip flops! LOL! It's meant to be! Haha! Super love!!!

Then the hubby gave me a Panasonic Lumix DMC G3 for our bf/gf anniversary. It's so cute and small! It's very light and easy to carry around.

Don't know the settings yet but I'm trying to play with it little by little :D

and lately, been going out a lot with my co-workers! Fun people to be with. They make my work place bearable, with all those crazy people there. :) Work place is so much easier when you are friends with the people around you. ♥ So sometimes, we bond outside work.

That's all for now. Will update you guys again! Thanks for reading!

Beauty Review: Baviphat Sugar Girl Moist Collagen BB Cream

2011-09-07T02:31:00.000-07:00

NOTE: Try this product at your own risk. If it works for me, it does not mean it will work for you too. Everyone has different types of skin. My skin consists of dry - combination - sensitive type of skin.

BAVIPHAT SUGAR GIRL MOIST COLLAGEN BB CREAM

This BB Cream was provided by http://shoppingholics.com for review purposes only. I did not get paid to do this review and I'm not affiliated to the said company.

This is the first time I heard about Baviphat brand. I was curious so I went ahead and agreed to try it. All year long, I have been off foundation. I like BB Creams better than most foundations. Why?

♥ Most BB creams are built in with SPF which is the most vital skin care you can use to avoid sun spots, sun burned and premature againg.

♥ Most BB Creams have already built in primer and concealer so you can save money of not buying primers and concealer and just use one product.

♥ Most BB Creams fade acne spots - I used to have a lot of acne scars

♥ Most BB Creams have healing properties which can help you with acne

Baviphat Sugar Girl Moist Collagen BB Cream claimes to CONCEAL, SMOOTH, MOISTURIZE, and PROTECT. It also helps with the healing process of a troubled skin like when its peeling or after a laser treatment.

Available at http://shoppingholics.com.

http://shoppingholics.com/goods.php?id=420

This BB Cream is actually cheap for 30mL. Lasts a long time because little goes a long way!

Dotting the BB Cream on my face... You only need a little bit. Spread it on a clean, moisturized face.

During summer, I get dark. I am usually NC 35-40 (MAC foundation) so this BB Cream is actually light on me. I think I rather use this BB Cream during winter when I get a little bit lighter but for those NC 25 and below, you're good to use this.

As you can see, it does leave a white cast on pictures because of the built in SPF on it so I don't recommend this during night outs and taking pictures, unless you want to look like casper or a coke-r.

It's easy to spread, the skin absorbs it well, and it leaves like a powdery finish so I didn't even need any finishing powder after. I have dry skin though so I need a moisturizer before I even apply this or it will look dry on my face.

Overall, I do recommend this BB cream. The price is right and it works, as long as you won't use this while taking pictures at night. The lasting power is great as well (I'm not sure for those who have oily skin). I didn't have to re-apply powder or cream through out the day. The product claims to be waterproof, so I like using this during hot sunny days because its light and well when I sweat, it doesn't get smudged off.

Overall Rating:

Do you have a favorite BB Cream? Which one and why?

Happy Happy Birthday Adrian! ♥

2011-09-06T18:30:00.000-07:00

"that's the thing about birthdays.. they kind of uh, annual thing" - Tangled

Hahaha! So it's Adrian's birthday on Labor Day. Thank goodness I was off, or else I won't be able to call off. They have this memo at work where it says "No one can call off unless permitted by the Supervisor" So I guess the only way you can't be at work is when you are dying. lol!

So unlike last year, we had a very simple celebration this year. We didn't go on a 3 days vacation like we had been doing for the past years because of work and school. :( Nonetheless, it was still fun.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADRIAN!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

He's such a cutie huh? I believe he was 5 yrs old on this pic :) I hope my future baby boy will look like him ;D

I chose his cake - Sansrival! So yummy!

I don't know what else to give him. We didn't have much budget this year but I was able to get him a guitar (he's been playing guitar since 6th grade :D) and a Lacoste school bag. I wanted to get him more. Maybe when I get rich! Ahahah :)

Sorry for the lack of update.. I've been pre-occupied with so many stuff lately. I will update more soon :D Hope to talk to you all :) Have a nice week!

Beauty Review: GEO Lotus Violet

2011-08-23T12:27:00.000-07:00

GEO LOTUS VIOLET

Link to the product: http://shoppingholics.com/goods.php?id=468

DETAILS:

The animal case matches my circle lens!! WEEE!!!

Note: Don't forget to soak it in a solution for 8 hours before use.

These lenses are provided by http://shoppingholics.com for review purposes only. I did not get paid to do this post and I'm not affiliated with the company. This review is based only on my experience.

Shoppingholics.com ships WORLDWIDE! Free animal case with every pair of lens ordered. FREE SHIPPING on all orders above $50.

Here are the promotions going on Shoppingholics.com

Back to my review :P

With the size of 15mm, it will surely give you a doll-like eyes. Almost animated! It's such a nice color to play around with when you want to change your looks.

PRICE: for $21.90/lasts one year, it's so worth it! The price is not bad at all. Just make sure to always change the solution everyday or as needed and take good care of it.

SIZE: As I mentioned earlier on this review, the size is 15mm which is huge compared to the ones I have! It will definitely enlarge your eyes! Perfect for those who wants big doll eyes!

COMFORTABILITY: This is only based on my experience, but GEO Lenses are less comfortable on me than the other brands I've tried. Other brands I can wear for 8 hours straight without the dryness, but GEO lenses, I had to use drops every 4 hours to re-hydrate my eyes.

AVAILABILITY: It's currently in stock at shoppingholics.com so you don't have to wait for "batches" in order to get it. Shipping usually takes 2-3 weeks which isn't that bad.

OVERALL:

Do you like purple eyes?

Beauty Review: Hana 30 Days Iceye Circle Lens + Give Away!!!! CLOSED!

2011-08-15T22:48:00.000-07:00

HANA 30 Days ICEYE

Have you heard about them? When I first got offered these lenses, they told me that I have to dispose them after a month. The first thing that I always ask when they offer me circle lens is how comfortable they are. You see, I have astigmatism so wearing circle lens or any type of lens other than toric dries out my eyes, and becomes irritated. I only have a few circle lens that I can truly say "ohhhh comfortable!!"

Note: These lenses are provided by Pinky Paradise for review purposes only and I did not get paid to post this review.

Hana 30 Days Iceye in BLACK

$11.90

Weight: 0 kg, 100 grams

Stock: Stock available

Diameter : 14.0mm

Water Content : 45%

Base Curve : 8.6mm

Life Span : 1 month disposal

http://pinkyparadise.com/webshaper/store/viewProd.asp?pkProductItem=1115

PROS:

It's only 14mm so it won't get that much huge difference from your natural eye. It looks really natural! It is also very comfy! When I say comfy, is that you can't even feel that you are wearing them! I didn't even need any eye drops when I wore them for straight 8 hours!

Hana 30 Days Iceye in BROWN

$11.90

Weight: 0 kg, 100 grams

Stock: Stock available

Diameter : 14.0mm

Water Content : 45%

Base Curve : 8.6mm

Life Span : 1 month disposal

http://pinkyparadise.com/webshaper/store/viewProd.asp?pkProductItem=1114

NOTE: My natural eyes are dark brown almost black so using a brown lens usually doesn't do any changes on my natural eyes. So it kind of look similar to the black lens.

The same thing as the Black one but this is more natural looking and yes its also very comfortable!

CONS:

It costs more than the other circle lens which are disposable for a year. This one is $11.90/month. Other than that, I can't think of anything anymore. I also noticed that when I left these circle lens on my case and the solution accidentally spilt, after 5 minutes, the lens looked wrinkly and about to dry, so I recommend to always check your case if there's still solution in it.

OVERALL:

If you don't mind the cost and just wants comfortable lens, then this is for you! Wearing for 8 hours without using eye drops (considering I have astigmatism). I really like these lenses because they look so nice and natural but still giving me that big eye look.

These lenses are provided by http://eyecandylens.com for review purposes only. I did not get paid to do this review and I'm not affiliated with the company. This review is only based on my experience.

If you buy a pair, you get a free case plus its FREE SHIPPING.

The last circle lens I got from Eyecandylens.com was the Gossip Aqua Circle Lens (click the link for review) and I had a positive experience on that lens. They also sent me Rohto Lycee Eyedrops to try.

Unlike the Gossip Aqua Lens that I have from their site, Vivian 3 Tone Violet is huge!! 15.0mm. It has an enlargement effects on your eyes. So if you are looking for something that will make your eyes look like a doll's eyes, this one is for you.

Yes, I'm tan. Hahaha :)

Comfortable wise, I can only lasts wearing this one for 6 hours max. After that, I have to use eyedrops. The Rohto Lycee helps so much in hydrating my eyes.

It's a very pretty color!! I love the way it makes my eyes look sparkly.

Note: make sure to soak the circle lens in a solution for 8 hours or more.

Check out my other Circle Lens review located on the side bar. I've been enjoying wearing them, creating different looks. I noticed that my eyes aren't that comfortable with GEO lenses but that's just my experience.

Sick Day + Hauls

2011-07-22T03:03:00.000-07:00

Hello again!! :D I called in sick today. We call it "emergency time off/ E-Tday" I had a sore throat and I really feel sick. I was just going to stay in bed but the hubby insisted that we go out, get something to eat and get some fresh air. So I agreed.

We went to eat at Santouka Ramen. Yum!! It totally made me feel a lot better :)

Then he brought me to a massage place! I felt good and happy :) Then we got some krispy kreme donuts on the way home. :) I feel a lot better now and I think I'm ready to go back to work tomorrow :P

Thanks to all the well wishes I received on twitter. Means so much to me! ^_^

Oh yeah, these past few days, I bought some stuff :)

Hello Kitty Panda bag which I got at Hot Topic! It was $26 something and they were having 25% off sale so it was cheap! Yay!! It's so cute also!!!

Converse was also having 30% off so Adrian *the hubby* and I got matching shoes again!! :D I love the "no lace" concept. I had one before and I used it until it died on me. Hahaha!

Then I got these at Mitsuwa. 3rd bottle of Lucido-L hair treatment! Check out my hair care treatment post: http://withadriyah.blogspot.com/2011/04/hair-care-routine.html

Also I bought this Collagen spray because its so hot nowadays, I just want to put this in the fridge and spray it whenever I feel hot/warm.

I'm reviewing some Circle Lens from eyecandylens.com soon! Yay!!! and collaborating a give away with them! Stay tuned :D
