My Block&White deodorant powder and Biolink lotion experience

Two prods in one review!

That's how lazy I am (Insert evil laugh).



Ok, first off, the deodorant powder. It has:

• Natural Tawas to eliminate odor-causing bacteria without irritating or darkening the skin;
• Anti-perspirant that provides all-day protection from wetness, which is often the cause of itching and odor;
• Talc Powder that provides silky smooth application, keeping skin soft and dry.

Hmm.. I was curious. I thought it was like in a gel-form that turns into powder afterwards. So I decided to try one, and- gee- I forgot how much it costs. Hihi. I think it's somewhere from 30 - 40 php. Just correct me if I'm wrong. :P

So. I tried it,and I was surprisd that it was all-powdery, not the gel- like form I was expecting. I put it on, and it smelled OK.

The whole day I stayed at home and did my chores like cleaning the house. Afterwards, I exercised with sit- ups, stationary jogging, and a bit of push-ups.Oh, well. The exercise does not have any effect on me; blame it on my Mom's good ol' lutong bahay.Hihi.

Anyway. I'm sad to report that this prod is not for me. Because I started to smell funky. Unlike my trusty Rexona deo-stick activreserve in Silk, my underarms still smell oh-so-good (hehe) after a whole day. And I don't worry about having sweaty armpits with it. With the Block&White, my underarms felt sticky (eeeew).Anyway, it didn't work for me, but maybe it would work for others. Others who aren't sweaty monsters like me. Grrroowwll.

On to the 2nd prod, the new Biolink lotion Anne Curtis is endorsing. What caught me in the ad was a line that said something like "non- greasy" or "non-sticky". I really hate lotions that are very greasy,especially at this time of the year, when it's uber hot. So, I bought a variant in Day Defense, with SPF 20. It smelled really good so I slathered some on my arms and legs. After a few minutes--Aack! Greaseville!!!!!!

Sigh. Anyway, since I did not like both prods, my Mom was more than happy to adopt them.

Hihi. ^_^

My "Excuse Letter" for being tardy.

Dear Sir:

I apologize for being late again today. I was already preparing for work at around 12:00 p.m. and I used this for the first time:

It's my s5 mineral primer.And while I was putting it on, all the while I was thinking,"What the-?", because I couldn't believe what was happening. My skin felt like a baby's (felt,OK,I know I'm not flawless),and I had to stop myself from touching it because it felt soooooo uber smooth.It was magic in a 5g.bottle.And, take note, only a teeny, tiny bit goes a long, long, long, long waaaaayyyy.Then I let it stay on my skin for a few minutes as I applied lotion on my body, then after that,I started to apply this:

It's my foundi-stay in neutral light medium, and I applied it first on my, erm, bakokang. After that, I used a blush brush to apply it now on my whole face.And I couldn't believe that my pores were smaller and my face looked kinda better than it was without primers.And then I applied my prettiest-pink blush (was a freebie in a sample baggie), and I was amazed again.The color was so natural. It was amazing! And when I first examined the container of my foundi-stay,it was really filled up,as in punong-puno (well, with the exception of the space made for the sifter!) I hope I get understood at this part because somehow I'm having a lapse in my English.Harhar. And,sir, I forgot to mention that my foundi-stay and the blush looked oh-so creamy.Sigh.So Icould not stop looking at the mirror after I applied makeup.Bare naturals is so uhhhmaaaazziiiinngg!!!! But, sir, my favorite of them all was the s5 primer. Maybe I could get one for your wife,then we'd call it quits,eh?

Sincerely Yours,
Pauline

(original post can be found on my drama site :http://sweetdadibaby08.blogspot.com/2008/02/my-excuse-letter-for-being-tardy.html this is now edited, with pics that I personally took, albeit a little disastrously.Hehe. Oh, and the bottle of the primer in this post is the 20.g.)

It has been a very long time!

...since I last blogged.Hehe.Well...I was kind of sick these past few weeks (yeah, a bad case of tamad-itis, unfortunately.) Hehe. Anyway, since I'm on the road to recovery, I will have my 2 cents on:

1. My HG primer from Bare Naturals (actually, I will just repost the review here, from my other blog (the drama- stuffed one);

2. The new Block&White deodorant powder and the Biolink lotion that Anne Curtis is currently endorsing;

3. The new battery- operated eyelash curler I got from Watson's (hehe, this is pretty!);

4. And my HG liptint,once again, from Bare Naturals.

Aja! I can finish this! ;p

Something from Avon

Actually, I got this last month (hehe),but I really like these:

Avon Longest Lashes Ever in black/brown and Avon Glazewear Liquid Lip Color in Tickled Pink.

Damage: mascara-399 php, liquid lip color-50 php!!!!

I've always wanted to get the liquid lip color,which was originally priced at 375 (Ithink,but I'd double-check that again),and I thought it was too pricey.But when I got their first March catalogue,it said if I buy something from their catalogue from page so-and-so,I can get the lip color for 50 pesos.And it was a promo I can't pass up!

So, I got the mascara.It was my first ever mascara to purchase.I'm not really a fan of those things because: A.) I have a bad habit of rubbing my eyes especially when I'm tired; B.) I always poke my eye when I put it on; and C.) The mascara smears after a few hours because I am super oily. But I bought it anyway because I want to experiment with my lashes.HEHE.

I've tried the mascara,and it does lengthen my lashes.But I've got long,stick-straight lashes,so I think I'll be needing eyelash curlers with this.

The lipcolor has a yummy scent,sometimes I just put it on just so I can have an excuse for smelling it (Drug addict?).But the shade is too light for me,but this is good when you have, like a strong eye makeup.If I want a bit of color,I wear my Maybelline Watershine Hyper Diamonds in Sparkling Pink(And,that's a mouthful,for a lipstick's name) before I put on my liquid lip color.One of these days,I'll post a pic so you guys can see for yourself.
