Butterfly Award and MakeupDiary.Org's Giveaway

Thanks so much to King of 25,000-megawatt smile for passing on the Butterfly Award to me:

Rules are pretty simple: Write something about yourself, link it back to the one who sent it to you and then pass it on to 7 people. :

About me:

- I would rather go without sleep altogether than get up early in the morning.

- When I was a kid, I was allergic to egg and chicken. I got yucky itchy things on my hands and feet whenever I ate stuff that had those as ingredients, but I still loved those kinds of food I ate them anyway and eventually I became immune.

- I have recurring Trichotillomania. I developed this habit in 6th Grade. I usually stop when the effect becomes obvious but I start doing it again especially during stressful times.

- I'm currently watching The Golden Girls on DVD. It's all I ever watch these days, quite frankly. It's really funny how the clothes they wore back then are showing up again these days. The remarkable characters make me look forward to growing older with my loved ones and remind me that I still have my best years ahead of me.

I would like to pass this award on to some of my latest followers and commenters. I hope to get to know you better, too!

- Lolita of The Good Lolita
- Julie of The Pink-Flavored Pen
- Nisa of Nisa's Beauty Room
- Amz88
- Charles a.k.a. wickeRmoss
- Rae of Scatterbrain Adventures 

-Catmare of The Beauty Experiment

It's okay, if you guys have done this already. I just wanna show some love, too. ^^

Cheap Thrills: Fringe Holders!

If you follow a lot of beauty bloggers and makeup gurus, then you're probably already familiar with the Dariya Fringe Holders: They are scraps of some sort of material not unlike Velcro, which gently hooks onto the strands of your hair and keeps it in place without leaving any marks, It allows you to keep the hair out of your face while doing your makeup or whatevs.

When I first saw the fringe holders, I thought that they were cute and clever and that I wanted to get some. However, they were only available online quite frankly the markup seems a little unreasonable. I wasn't gonna pay PHP 200-400 + for bits of nothing when there were other cute ways of keeping hair in place.

However, while browsing the accessories display at Watson's last Saturday, I found these!

I must say,  people who are selling these are pretty blatant in the way they copied this product. (They included images from the original and even the original's website URL in their package. Lulz!)

But but but! Check out the price- a whopping  PHP 40- per pack of 2's. And just like the original, they have this in pink, blue and black, I don't really like black (yes, it's a classy color and everything but that's me) so I just got these 2.

 

I think the main difference (based on the product pics on the packaging) is that the edges of these fringe holders aren't rounded of and the way they're cut isn't so even or straight. Doesn't really bother me.  And if it does, I can just cut them that way myself.

Hope you enjoyed the weekend!
