<p> It's a new year! The holidays are over, but that's no reason to stop partying. Actually, if it's not already in your list of New Year's resolutions, go ahead and add: PARTY EVEN HARDER THIS YEAR THAN LAST. By that I mean have more fun, look more amazing, make a greater impression on the other partyphiles. As we all know, invites to future parties depend on one's success at the previous one. Scary, right? Not anymore, thanks to this hot website I found: <strong><a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=24101&oid=8944979'>Primp & Prep</a> </strong></p>

<p> Getting ready for a night out on the town? Check out the fashion and beauty sections. Get inspired by the celebrity looks, hot fashion picks, and makeup tricks featured here. This is my favorite part of the website. I go here daily, whether or not there's a party to go to.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> Nervous before a big event? <a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=24097&oid=8944979'>hair down music up!</a> Get in a partying mood by trying a yummy cocktail recipe using <a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=24099&oid=8944979'>Hpnotiq</a> then listening to some sick beats. </p>

<p> This site really covers all the bases. There's even a GUYS tag for hooking up articles, advice et cetera but don't take it all too seriously. More often than not, those pages overlap with the LOL tag along with disastrous text messages and hilarious photobombs. Oh well, at least you'll have something to talk about on the next <a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=24103&oid=8944979'>girl's night</a>.</p>

<p> Also: You must be 21 or older to drink alcoholic beverages and as always, please remember to drink responsibly.</p>
<p> Have a fun, crazy, awesome 2013!</p>

It's that time of the year again in my country: Typhoon season. We haven't had a sunny day in <i>weeks</i> and it's really starting to get me down. Even though I generally prefer cold weather to hot, and I avoid the sun's rays, I don't like being stuck <u>indoors</u>, either. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
No big deal, I'm just more aware of how I feel nowadays because I've been reading up on <b>Seasonal affective Disorders (SAD)</b> for work. One interesting (also logical) thing I noted is that <b>Light Therapy</b> is used to treat SAD, as well as some medical conditions. It's also used to treat various skin conditions. Lasers are used in facials to <i>kill bacteria</i>, <i>close pores</i> and also to <i>remove unwanted hair</i>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For most of us, we can probably get these types of treatments once in a while, but wouldn't it be nice to be able to do it ourselves anytime we want or need them? We can! Check out<a href="http://www.tanda.com/" target="_blank"> <b>Tanda.Com</b></a><b>.</b> They have awesome gadgets using light technology like <a href="http://www.tanda.com/zap.html" target="_blank"><b>tanda zap</b></a> for acne treatment, as well as others for teeth whitening, hair removal and many more. Best of all? They're completely portable, so they're not just for using at home. You can take them with you anywhere, so your beauty rituals don't have to be postponed when your on a trip or something. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's a something else I found on that website: A very interesting and informative graphic on the history of skincare. Gonna try those facial toning exercises. Feels kinda silly, but I hope it'll pay off.</div>

The <b>Petit Cherry Rouge</b> lippies cost around <b>PHP 220</b>. I bought this online, but I heard they already have a store somewhere in the <i>northern part</i> of the metro ( I never go there) and pricing is mostly similar.</div>

<i>Petit</i> is right! This is about <b>half</b> the size of a regular lippie and contains 2.5 g of product. I'm thrilled! Maybe I'll finally finish a tube before the expiration date. <u>I think all products should be available in mini sizes</u>. </div>

I got <b>G09 Glossy Beige</b>. My eyes were just immediately drawn to it. These lippies come in 4 different kinds or finishes: <b>Glossy (G), High Color (H), Moisture (M), and Creamy (C). </b>It smells really sweet and fruity when you put it on, but it goes away eventually. It also glides on smoothly and doesn't feel heavy.</div>

She is the smallest (I don't like saying runt) of a litter of three. Now, I love all my pets very much but I like to keep a close watch on her because she's so tiny (she's like half the size of her siblings) and maybe a little frail (physically, but she's a ball of pure attitude) so we spend a lot of time together. Because of this, she gets to go through my stuff and even yoinks what she really likes.</div>

I am always attracted to makeup palettes when I see them because they are just so pretty to look at and I always love colorful things but I've never been tempted to buy those HUGE palettes which have <i>all the colors under the sun.</i> That's because I know myself well enough to know that I'll never use more than half those colors. I prefer picking out <b>single eyeshadows</b> one at a time just to make sure they'll be used.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkNTIUlYAh-u3sNdmHKCSAxy9z8OyCeX4Xzi85ulRYUrsBhT53rmYT17_Hec_AC5_Y9vQ2lnypN4ocQxgTtRYq-iXXs3Xe4DVDJNLgaQU5nor7tcgYGffiKJXNTuGPGb9ugWEPP5l82A/s1600/sleekaunaturelbox.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkNTIUlYAh-u3sNdmHKCSAxy9z8OyCeX4Xzi85ulRYUrsBhT53rmYT17_Hec_AC5_Y9vQ2lnypN4ocQxgTtRYq-iXXs3Xe4DVDJNLgaQU5nor7tcgYGffiKJXNTuGPGb9ugWEPP5l82A/s1600/sleekaunaturelbox.jpg" /></a>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then all those neutral/natural palettes came out one after the other and they were very tempting especially <b>UD Naked 2 </b>(more "me" colors. read: champagne), but frankly speaking, I don't wear e/s that often nor am I that great at putting them on so I couldn't justify the price tag on the Naked 2. Not yet, at least. I decided to get the <b>Sleek i-Divine Palette in 601 Au Naturel. </b>Let's start with this for practice, and if I get a lot of use out of this and if I get any better, maybe I'll move on to more <i>grown up</i> palettes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Sleek</b> is a <b>UK</b> Makeup brand that offers great products at irresistible prices. This palette is a great intro to the brand. I am lemming for their other products. Their<u> blushes and lippies</u> (no surprise here) look super nice.</div>

I was confused as to why my palette looks different from the store's pictures. According to <b>Sleek's website</b>, they're pressing the shadows differently now. Too bad. I think the waffle hetchmarks really made the colors stand out and were a big part of what attracted me to this palette, but I guess they want the presentation as <i>sleek</i> as possible..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Random Thoughts:</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li>This palette has more flat/matte shades than shimmery ones, which makes it more wearable and versatile. I love shimmery eyeshadows but you can get them anywhere. Flat/Matte finishes are harder to find, (near impossible locally, to be honest.)</li>
<li>5/6 of the of the light colors (top row) are so pale and subtle, I had trouble swatching them on my skin. On the bright side, they are great for highlighting and helps prevent overzealous makeup users like me from having too much on.</li>
<li>I was torn between this and <b>Storm</b> for my<i> first </i>Sleek palette. I like the top row of Storm better but Au Naturel won because I thought the former would have too many unwearable blues. Looking at that palette again, the dark shades are mostly slate and navy colors which I think are pretty wearable. I'll think about it again.</li>
</ul>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This entry has been on my drafts <i>forever</i> maybe because there are <u>just no words</u> to express my love for this product.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Initially, I only bought this because it was <b>so darn cute</b>, not to mention <b>cheap at PHP 79</b>, but I was pleasantly surprised to learn it's much, much more than that. I got the one in menthol because I always like mint flavors, unlike fruit that I kind of have to be in the mood for. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cracked, blistery lips were just something I'd learned to live with for years, now. My lips were chapped all year round, (Actually, during the first couple of weeks of usage and old skin was being sloughed off, I was kind of alarmed because the new skin- which is smoother and pinker- felt so strange to me.) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>FEELS</b> so light and comfy, too. This is the only lip balm I've tried that does not feel heavy or waxy, It doesn't bother me at all and even if I put on a lot, I don't get tempted to wipe it off unlike others before it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
BTW, I think there is a line of Baby Lips balms that are tinted but this doesn't have any color so it goes great with any lip color. So who knows, I might actually finish a tube of lip balm this time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>THE GOOD</b> (a recap)</u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Affordable @ PHP 79-</li>
<li>Available in most supermarkets, drugstores, department stores.</li>
<li>Cute, colorful packaging</li>
<li>Yummy flavors: Anti-Oxidant Berry, Smoothing Cherry, Energizing Orange, and Relieving Menthol.</li>
<li>SPF 20- a must for summer!</li>
<li>Promises 8HR moisture.
I apply it before going to bed and I wake up with supple, healthy-looking lips</li>
<li>lipstick applies more evenly and looks better</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>OTHER:</b><i> </i></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There's really, nothing I don't like about this product, though I wish it could completely erase the discoloration on one part. I'm still looking for a product that could do that.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Well, it may not be a diamond ring but <b>Lanvin Marry Me</b> is as romantic as fragrances go. It's girly and floral, but so light and fresh-smelling, getting an up close and personal whiff of the person wearing it won't make you nauseated.</div>

I love perfume very much, <a href="http://thenarcissusproject.blogspot.com/2011/09/hippie-or-hime.html" target="_blank">especially if it comes in adorable packaging</a>. I don't buy as many of them as I'd like, though. I get tired of fragrances rather quickly and I always feel guilty when the scent changes before I even finish half a bottle. There are some fragrances I go back to from time to time and this might become one of them in the future. It reminds me of one of my earliest favorites, <b>Gap Dream. </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
BTW, <i>perfume-wise</i>, if Lanvin Marry Me is "marriage material", then Gap Dream was my "high school sweetheart". So yeah, you can say I ended up <i>marrying</i> a more mature, designer version of my <i>first love</i>. <u>All</u> girls should be so lucky.

<b>Dolly Pink</b> is a light purplish pink- very pretty and girly. I like its color on its own but it also looks great with round lipsticks I already have like<b> <a href="http://thenarcissusproject.blogspot.com/2011/11/paris-and-milan-tale-of-two-lippies.html" target="_blank">Paris</a></b> (helps it last longer, too.)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Narcissus</b> is a shiny pale pink. Needless to say, I love the name. Looks very pretty. Goes on kind of sheer, though. Not opaque like other round lipsticks I own. I layer it over brighter pink and fuschia lippies, and it does a great job of making them more wearable and less drying. =)</div>

I finished my tube of <b>Soft Matte Lip Cream</b> in <b>Milan</b>, and since I'm not that crazy about the formulation of that product, I decided to get the Matte Lipstick in <b>Audrey</b> because I remember seeing swatches of the two side by side where they were almost identical. Audrey is less pigmented, I think. And the finish is not as matte.

Let me just say that I am <i>in love</i> with NYXs Matte Lipstick formula. I have three now so far:</div>

They go on so smoothly and are not drying at all. I love how pigmented they are and the scent is milder and more pleasant than the SMLCs. The ones I have last quite long, too but I think it might depend on the shade. The finish is not really matte, though. Just semi-matte. SMLCs are more matte, which means I prefer them for certain shades.</div>

The tubes are all <b>minis</b> (30 ml). I love buying minis because full-sized products just get <i>wasted</i> on me. I get tired of using the same old thing for too long and this gives me a reason to buy new stuff right away. ^^</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I had a chance to try the Silk Scarf stuff before and liked it. I had a set of the shampoo, condition and hair treatment in sample sachets/envelopes. The products have a nice raspberry smell, but I'm not sure how great they are for regular use. I'll let you know when I'm done with it.</div>

I've never heard of the brands of the sheet mask and the bb cream the seller kindly included in my freebies. She put in some other free samples, too but I already had them so I just gave them to my sister (who likes samples as much as me.)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
The fight against aging starts in our
20's, and products that promise brighter, more youthful and flawless
skin like the <b>M2</b> line <b><a href="http://www.luminaze.com/" target="_blank">Luminaze</a></b> are choice weapons. I've been dying to
try them since I first heard about them.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
I heard a lot of good things about M2
skincare products a while back and I recently got the chance to use
it. Since I am a new user, I will be sharing my first impression of
the product.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
<b style="text-align: left;"><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
<b style="text-align: left;"><u>About the Product</u></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
This is a <b>micropeel</b> product. This line
gets its name from the 2 main active ingredients: <b>Mandelic Acid</b>,
which is an <b>Alpha Hydroxy Acid or AHA</b> derived from almonds and <b>Malic
Acid</b>, which occurs naturally in fruits.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
The product itself is a clear <i>sticky</i>
dense liquid. I mean <u>really</u> sticky. I think a lot of people would be
bothered by the stickiness of it, but I actually think it's a good
idea. It keeps the product on my face and doesn't come off even if I
sweat and it doesn't transfer to my pillow or sheets when I sleep.
Besides, it dries to a kind of shiny film after a few minutes and
becomes more comfortable after moisturizer is applied.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
This product works fast! There was
flaking around my nose and mouth areas the morning after my first use
and I saw dead skin on my cotton pad when I applied toner. Also, like
with products of this nature, expect a purging stage, where deep
seated dirt and impurities come up to the surface in the form of
breakouts.</div>

It's still too early to say but here
are my thoughts so far:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Likes:</u></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
- fast results</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
- Comes in an airless pump bottle which
twists up and out to open. No lost caps or parts. Very hygienic.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
- A little goes a long way.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Dislikes:</u></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
- expensive! (for me, at least. 2K-3K for 50 ml)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
- not widely available, (most people
just buy online or through dermatologists)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
- strong smell</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
- itching or stinging sensation. Not
for sensitive skin.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
- Purging stage</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Etc.</u></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
- When using peeling/whitening
products,<u> </u><i><u>always</u> </i>wear <b>sunscreen.</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
- Don't be scared by the purging stage,
the product is going to treat those breakouts as well. <u>Just follow
through</u> or else you'll be left worse off than when you started.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
- For new users, only use this product
every other day for the first couple of months so that your skin gets
used to the ingredients. (I alternate this with an acne treatment for
the breakouts)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Will I buy again?</u></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
Undecided. It depends on the end result
after 1 bottle.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">

<a name='more'></a><br />
Our housekeeper brought this dog to our attention.She belonged
to one of our housekeeper's neighbors. There was some trouble in the
neighborhood involving a very small kid and a dog who just had puppies. Her owner's became worried that they might have the same kind of
troubles so they were going to give her away. Not so bad, right? The problem is that the person they were planning to give her to wasn't planning on keeping her as a pet...some cultures in my country consider dog meat a delicacy. Let's leave it at that. Not judging anyone, exotic food is part of a lot of cultures, I guess.<br />
<br />
Anyway, our housekeeper convinced her owners to bring her to our house instead. Since she's off the menu, we gave the people who brought her some money for a nice dinner, instead. I named her <b>Dashi</b> because it's sort of our tradition to name adopted pets after food. (We have two cats named <a href="http://thenarcissusproject.blogspot.com/2010/04/papemelroti-beauty-in-box-and-heres.html" target="_blank"><b>Siopao</b></a> and<b> Ice Cream.</b>) She felt at home the minute she got here. =))<br />
<br />
The love of a pet is probably the <b>purest</b> kind there is. The biggest hero you can hope to meet in my country at the moment is a dog named <b>Kabang</b>. She saved her owner's daughters from being hit by a motorcycle and got <b>horribly disfigured</b> as a result.<br />
<br />
As if that wasn't enough, all the attention on Kabang also helped <b>reunite her owner and his mother</b> after many, many years (decades, really.) I swear, I'm a mess everytime Kabang is on the news.<br />

A while back, I made it a mission to find the perfect pale lilac nail polish. It was harder than it seemed, most of what I've seen were too pink or too dark. I even considered making my own by adding a couple of drops of dark purple polish to a bottle of white polish. I never got around to it because I found one I was happy with at Etude House. I should've known to look there first. They definitely know their pastels (I mean, look at their store!)</div>

<b>Addis Ababa</b> is my second <b>Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream.</b> The first one was Milan, which I reviewed <a href="http://www.blogger.com/%20http://thenarcissusproject.blogspot.com/2011/11/paris-and-milan-tale-of-two-lippies.html" target="_blank"><b>here</b> </a>in case you missed it.<br />
<br />
I don't have a lot to add to what I already said about the product in that review, so just check that out for more details. This post is going to focus on the shade in particular.<br />

<b>Addis Ababa</b> is a bright blue-toned pink. It glides on creamily then sets into a matte finish in seconds. However, if you look closely, you'll be able to see some fine silvery glitters, I guess to keep the color bright and not dull.<br />
<br />
In my <b>SMLC Milan</b> post, I mentioned feeling intimidated by the brightness of this color. I think my taste has changed since then, because when I first tried it, I thought I'd be disappointed at its lack of oomph. Turns out, this gets brighter as it sets. Whew! I love all pink lippies, but this is definitely a favorite.<br />
<br />
I got this at a bazaar sometime during Christmas season. It cost <b>PHP 300</b>, which is a little more than if you get it from popular resellers, but I was already there, so it was cheaper than having to pay for shipping, or going all the way to another store just to get it. Also, Addis Ababa is constantly out of stock. I was lucky to get my hands on it at all.</div>

Before I move forward completely, here are a couple of new stuff I got before the new year and a little something about some of them. Expect a more detailed review for the others in the future. Note that I didn't get all of this at the same time.<br />
<br />
<u><b>From eBay:</b></u><br />

<b>Baviphat Makeup Case</b>- roomy and with compartments for brushes.<br />
<b>Korean Travel Brush Set</b>- the brushes are kind of flimsy but usable. The brushroll is really pretty.<br />
<b>Beauty Credit Naked Balm</b>- a kind of bb cream for the body. Have yet to use it.<br />
<b>Baviphat Sugar Girl Peach Sebum Solution Pact in Shade #2</b> (Natural Beige)<br />
<br />
I also got a couple more samples but let's save those for later. More stuff after the jump.<br />

<b>Magic Pink Cream</b>- a color changing cream similar to Smashbox O-Glow<br />

<b>Lory's Hair Cream in duo Chocolate-</b> This variant of the Lory's Hair cream was so hard to find! Been wanting to try this because of all the raves in blogs but I didn't want to get other variants. The idea of a chocolate-scented hair treatment got me obsessed.<br />

Hope you're all enjoying the holidays.The year's almost over, so I just wanna share this activity we did at work just before I left. I'm really glad I got to do it, because it really made me look at the past year in a completely different light and helped me be more enthusiastic for the coming year. Without this, I wouldn't have noticed any difference between this year and all the past years of my life. Hopefully, it'll have the same effect on all of you who wanna do it, too.<br />
<br />
<u><b>The Rules:</b></u> <br />
<ol>
<li>Name 3 accomplishments/achievements/things you are grateful for in 2011. </li>
<li>Name 3 goals for 2012</li>
</ol>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<u><b></b></u><br />
<strong><u>3 Accomplishments/Achievements in 2011:</u></strong><br />
<ol>
<li>I received an award at my previous workplace.</li>
<li>I started getting paid to write this year.</li>
<li>I have let some new pets into my life and my heart. (I never thought I could again, since I lost Maddy.)</li>
</ol>
<br />
<u><b>3 Goals for 2012:</b></u><br />
<ol>
<li>Volunteer at an animal shelter.</li>
<li>Visit a place I've never been.</li>
<li> Double my life savings. </li>
</ol>
<br />
Those were the answers I came up with at the spur of the moment, but since I've had time to think about it, I'd like to add to my goals. I am determined to enhance my skills and develop my career, so something like enrolling in a <a href="http://www.veritasprep.com/gmat/" target="_blank">gmat prep</a> course like the ones they're offering at <a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/VeritasPrep" target="_blank">Veritas Prep</a> is definitely gonna make its way into the master list of resolutions for next year. <br />
<br />
I can't wait to read all your lists. Let me know if you did by sharing the link, or in the comments section,<br />
<br />
Happy New Year!<br />

It's been a while but I have news! I am officially a freelancer! <br />
Still busy as ever, though. I'm still not done with Christmas shopping, can you believe it? The holiday rush and all the preparations for the big move next year: packing, trying to unload stuff at home, and all that. But I'm ready to blog at a semi-regular basis again. Wish me luck!<br />
<br />
Moving on, here's a product that's been making me happy recently: <b>Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Clay Mask</b><br />
<br />

<b>Innisfree</b> is another Korean brand I am interested in. Their products are said to be GMO, mineral oil, chemical, alcohol, triclosan, benzophenone and paraben free and most ingredients are derived from nature.The brand, as you can see is endorsed by <b>Yoona</b> of <b>Girls' Generation (SNSD.)</b><br />

As you can see from the picture, the full-sized product comes in a jar, but since this is me blogging, you probably already guessed it: I got mine sample-sized and off eBay. Oh yeah. I actually prefer it this way, too. You can stock up if you plan to use this regularly, get what you need every time, and the rest of your stash stays fresh and sealed until it's time to open a new envelope (or as we call them, sachets)</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>Product Description:</u></b></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li>The product is a light brownish beige in color. It's lighter than I expected.</li>
<li>It's used the same way as other clay masks, just spread it all over your face, wait for it to dry and wash off.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b><u>Price:</u></b><br />
<ul>
<li>Samples online are around PHP 20</li>
<li>
Not sure about the price of the full-sized jar locally but one seller from Korea sells it at around 14 USD. <br />
<br />
</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>What I Like:</u></b></div>
<ul>
<li>Affordable!</li>
<li>Packaging is really attractive.</li>
<li>Leaves my face softer and smoother upon rinsing </li>
<li>gets rid of excess oil </li>
<li>refines pores</li>
<li>brightens skin</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u><b>What I Don't Like </b></u></div>
<ul>
<li>not widely available, hopefully Innisfree follows in the footsteps of other Korean brands and comes here soon.</li>
<li>the softer and smoother effect seems temporary</li>
<li>I'm not convinced this product is really all-natural</li>
</ul>

<li>I really prefer wash-off type masks/packs over sheet-type, so I love this</li>
<li>aside from a mask, you can also use this as a spot treatment to dry out pimples.</li>
<li>Unlike other clay masks, this doesn't seem to completely harden, or crack off.</li>
<li>Aside from that, I don't see much difference between this product and other bentonite masks. I mean, it's nice to have but if you're already using a similar product that works, it would be redundant to get this, too.</li>
</ul>
Have you used this product? Let me know what you think!<br />

Thanks for reading,<br />
