Laneige White Plus Renew

I just finished a bottle of eye cream and it sucked big time! I've spent P2,000+ on it and it didn't do anything! Zero! Walang wala! It moisturized my eyes, but that's it! A waste of money! - I'll review this next time. Now, I'm on the hunt again for an eye cream and a good friend of mine recommended to try Laneige products. I was kind of iffy at first because I haven't tried ANY of their products and I haven't read any review about them. I just usually pass by their store and just gawk at Song Hye Kyo's pretty face. From the looks of it their items are not cheap - at first impression. They don't really have uber-wide range of products like The Face Shop that you don't know what to get with so many options! That's just another reason why it didn't attract me of going inside and just look around.

So anyway, out of curiosity and because of my friend kept raving about it, I tried testing products and totally out of my impulsiveness, I bought White Plus Renew Essence and White Plus Renew Eye Serum (as you can see I'm a sucker for whitening products!). I don't like to buy it at first, but the saleslady sales talked me! She told me that one of their frequent clients told her that she saw the results in just 1 week! and I was like "weeeh? di nga? You're exaggerating much miss!". Eventually I gave in and bought the 2! *shoot me!* I can feel my wallet wailing.

Tada!

 

NOTD: I Love You Matte M.

I went crazy when I first learn about matte top coats, they are soooo uber-amazing! Fine, I'm exaggerating. I don't know which brand first came out with their own mate top coat (Essie, China Glaze, OPI ) Which ever brand you use, I'm guessing *cross fingers* they will have the same finish. *duh* Some people find matte top coats are a blah to the polish industry, but for me it's really different and very unique addition to my collection. Though I don't really use it that much, just for special occasions *afraid to use it all up*

You can also do wonderful designs just using the matte top coat. Here's some ways to do it:

1. Paint your nails with a regular polish then swipe your matte top coat (so the whole nail is matte). Let it dry a bit then swipe a regular polish at the tips. (so the tips are shiny) One swipe of the same color of polish will do or different color, it's upto you. Vice versa.

2. Paint your nails with a regular polish and then let it dry, swipe your matte top coat on your nails with a slanting design, your aiming for a SLANTED STRIPE pattern of alternating matte-shiny-matte-shiny. Do I make sense? LOL

3. Try doing the gradient technique on your nail with a regular polish. (search Youtube) It's going to look like matte going to shiny effect. Swipe a regular polish on your nails, then your regular shiny top coat, let it dry. put some of the matte top coat on a clean flat plastic surface and dab a sponge on it and gently make the gradient effect on your nails(search youtube for the gradient tutorials)

The Ultimate Care for Your Accessories

Taking care of your precious accessories are easy! A lot of my clients asks me how to do it. So, read till the very end to know how :)


I'm sure you already know Les Roux offer costume jewelry from around the planet. So, most of them are handmade and a few of them are machine made. Be reminded that these are not real jewelry (costume jewelry = not real) and they are also prone to wear and tear (they oxidize and tarnish in time, unless you buy real jewelry or the stainless ones which are so-not nice!) and our accessories come different finishes too (i.e rhodium plated, matte finish, gold plated etc. - perfect for changing trends) and they need different care for each finish/category, without proper care they may oxidize and tarnish easily, but here's a general guideline for you to follow for your Les Roux accessories. Be rest assured that we only offer high quality of accessories.

I myself is an accessory fanatic, keeping them in a jewelry box is not enough! It's just like tossing your precious jewelry in any container, there's no difference. This is where ziplocks come in handy, they keep the piece of jewelry away from air/oxygen that can cause fast-oxidation. Keep them in ziplock baggy then keep them in your jewelry box. :)

If the piece of jewelry is vintage or bronze/copper plated then you can just keep it in any container because it won't change in color. If you're feeling lazy, you can just wipe it with a regular soft cloth once in a while (once a month if you're reallyyyy lazy). BUT if you treasure them so much (like i do!) ziplock baggy will always be your best friend.

And all of those crap boils down to only one thing.. "No piece of jewelry will last if you do not take good care of it properly".

Oh and for the acidic gals who are allergic to costume jewelry :( Some of our clients are acidic, they do get rashes every now and then (don't be scared! LOL) That's why I don't recommend wearing costume jewelry on bare skin.
