My XCM 214 (Super Angel Brown) Geo Lens just arrived!

Actually it was nearly 2 months since I paid for this thing. Almighty customs has interfered with my seller's lens packages so it took longer than expected for the lenses to be on-hand.

Geo Angel lenses are perfect for the fuss-free dolly look (for ullzzang selcas!). Even cosplayers have been loving this Geo circle lenses, great for anime lovers!

I intended to buy CK 105 or what others call Dolly Black but the seller said it was unavailable so I settled for an angel brown and then it became super angel brown because the latter has became unavailable as well. Seller also failed to contact me after the delay of shipment which a major turn-off. I needed to get dailies to make-up for my months without lenses.

Buying this lenses was not a pleasant experience after all. Anyway that won't interfere with my review about this geo lens, so lets get started.

A few info about Super Angel Brown lenses

Diameter: 14.8mm
Water Content: 38%
Base Curve: 8.6

My very first lenses were also from Geo, its Angel Gray CM 835 its in normal size, 14mm. This super Geo series is 14.8mm which seems big but comfort is just the same as the regular ones. The biggest lenses I have seen so far is 16mm from the i fairy series! (I dunno about you, but I won't try them ever)

Unlike the dolly black, Super Angel Brown looks natural. Enlargement is average, enough to make you look cute and dolly without garnering too much attention.

I have been using this angel brown contacts daily and I must say that they are pretty comfortable even after 8 hours of usage. I got this with grade, both 2.75 and I basically can't go outside without wearing them because I'll be good as blind, LOL. The only thing I can complain about is my eyes tends to dry out but that will only be after about 6 hours which is natural.

Another thing I really like is I can check for the lens authenticity online. Yes there are fakes in the internet so better buy from a reputable seller. You will only need to scratch the authenticity sticker on the side of the vial and input in the anti-fake numbers.

Okay, so off to the pros and cons...

PROS

• Affordable
  
• Natural dolly look despite the size
• Can last for a year!

CONS

• Not readily available -Most of the lenses(especially graded ones) are for pre-order.

Basically that's it, if you opt for enlargement but still wants to look natural then go for Angel Brown. I love Geo lenses and I am looking forward into trying out Dolly Black on my next purchase! :)

Have you tried Geo lenses? what type of lenses are you using?

Review: AP-24 whitening toothpaste

White teeth may have been one of the trade marks not just of Hollywood superstars but the most famous celebrities in the country today as well. White teeth is also really good to look at and a lot may have been really dreaming about having those white pearls may it be girls or boys. This explains why a lot of brands nowadays carry their own whitening version of such toothpaste.

Its obvious that for today my post is about my whitening buddy, Nu Skin's AP24 fluoride toothpaste. Actually I am not really desperate to whiten my teeth and my plan was to have my own braces -which will take a long long time of saving up money of course. I have decided to purchase one of this popular toothpaste because of girltalk raves.

My take~
Okay so the paste inside the 110g. tube is white. One tube retails for Php371 and is only available with selected distributors. I believe Nu skin products nowadays are not allowed to be sold online so you may have a hard time looking for a place to buy items from Nu skin.

It was advertised to whiten teeth within 2 weeks and this is what the product claims to do:

>Brightens and whitens teeth.
>Helps remove stains.
>Helps remove and prevent plaque buildup.
>Helps the prevention of dental cavities.
>Provides a long-lasting smooth, clean, and fresh feel.
>Features AP-24, an exclusive ingredient.
>Refreshing, trademark vanilla mint flavor.
>Thick, creamy, rich formula.
>No harmful peroxides.

Check Nu Skin's site for the benefits and complete ingredients list--> NU SKIN AP24.

PROS

• This toothpaste has a yummy faint vanilla smell and taste.
• Cleans teeth thoroughly. No bad breath all day.
• Can last 2-3 months if you'll use it alone.

CONS

• This item seems to be over priced.
• Did not really whiten my teeth at all.
• Hard to find.

Verdict:
I bought this product having high hopes of having white teeth but this didn't worked for me. It can remove teeth stains from drinking coffee or smoking (I don't smoke!) but it can't turn a natural yellow teeth into white. Na-da and it was all laid out in their paper description I got with the product.

Well Im not buying again, because the product has not served its purpose. My search for the "it" teeth whitening product continuous...

Review: Easy Lipstick Quickly Change Lipstick

Lip sticks, glosses, balms...how many of each do you have right now? Being a girl, I know that a lot of us are suckers in giving color to our lips. Why not right? Only a few are given with real pink lips but it lip colors are here to save the rest of the flock like us.

Since high school I was only able to try lipstick once or twice. Even when I took a hold of my own money I really did not bother to buy even simple Careline lippies. Its not that I'm not kikay(girly) but I find it quite troublesome to need to retouch every now and then. Petroleum jelly for the lips and J&J baby powder for the face.

Now that I'm already college the story became different, I became more adventurous and became so addicted to glosses as well. I noticed a slight change in my natural lip color it kinda became dull so I tried to find a solution for it.

I googled lots of stuffs and I landed in an advertisement for Easy Lipstick Quickly Change.The long name clearly gives a hint that its an asian brand but to my surprise the box says that its made from US.

Here is the photo of Quickly change lipstick inside its box:

The lipstick when used is like a magic lipstick which is a common cosmetic for teenies before. Ad says that lips will turn into natural pink after a sec or so but it actually apply the color right when you swipe it to your lips.

Okay so what are the pros and cons?

PROS

• I like the pink color this lippie gives to my lips.
  
• Mom says it is drying but it really is not, her lips is just really dry.
• Last long even if the content is not much.

CONS

• Not sure if it is really from USA. I have seen this being sold in a Chinese drug store in Manila.
• Packaging looks cheap.
  
• I have not seen super pinkie lips like promised, but I don't care. Bleh~

Where to buy?
Online. Try searching in sulit or browse chinese drug stores for this certain lipstick treatment.

How much?
Around Php120 if I'm not mistaken. Worth the price, I'm still using it until now, its been 3 months already since I bought the item.

Will I buy again?
Hmm..maybe. But not any time soon. I would like to try other trusted brands for now. This Quickly Change lipstick has been a staple lippie for me for a while though. Safe color for my lips, not bright pink, not dull. Give it a try if you can.

By the way what other brands of lip sticks have you tried girls? Any recommendations of shades that you certainly love? I wanna hear from you!

Love lots, thanks for reading!

Review: Green Peeling Oil Set

I am already annoyed on how my mama always say "parang uling ang kili kili mo ah..."

I still remember how it became discolored. One fine day my mama told me that calamansi is good for the underarms because it helps in preventing body odor. The good girl (which is me) followed her tip without knowledge of the whole process (yeah I know I'm such a dummy) I mistakenly left the calamansi on my skin longer than the recommended time which resulted into an acid burn. Nothing severe though, but it left my dreaded underarm dark.

This how my search for the effective underarm whitening solution started. I was introduced to green peeling oil because of the sudden raves it received in sulit. Ads about the green peeling oil is seen left and right and it got me curious. Back then I was a total newbie in ordering stuffs online so imagine my frustration back then. LOL.

One basic green peeling oil set consists of:
>Aluminum chloride -whitens the skin while preventing sweat at the same time. Serves as your deodorant while in the process of peeling.
>4 in one bleaching cream(also known as kliggman's cream) -cream effective in faster whitening of the skin. Night whitening cream for the underarm.
>Green peeling oil -the peeling agent. Feel is just like J&J's baby oil but scent is chemical-ish.
>Hydrocortisone cream -anti-itch cream. Use to endure itchiness of the skin.
^All of these for only of Php250. It was shipped almost instantly after my purchase, received the next day, no hassle.

I was so excited to find out if the hype was all true. There have been mixed reviews with the green peeling oil as this is actually a peeling agent and when used improperly may have unwanted result. I was being careful and I followed the instructions promptly.

Direction:
1. Apply the green peeling oil on the underarms, 3x a day for 3 days only. It can be applied at night 3X with 15 mins. interval. Let it dry and NO need to rinse
2. If itchiness or redness occurs, apply hydrocortisone cream
3. After 3 days of peeling GPO, rest the skin and wait until it peels-off. DO NOT RUB
4. When the skin has totally peeled-off, Use aluminum Chloride in the morning, and apply bleaching cream at night.

NOTE:

• Use your fingers when applying the oil. Peeling starts 2-4 days after the last application of green peeling oil. Peeling lasts 3-7 days. --My underarm peeled on the 5th day. 
• To prevent the redness or itchiness, Apply hydrocortisone cream on the 2nd day after applying the green peeling oil. --I didn't feel any itchiness all throughout the process so I did not used my hydrocortisone cream.
• Do not use deodorant and avoid washing the underarms with soap during the peeling session. The green peeling will serve as your deo during peeling, it prevents sweating of underarms. --Arrrgh...I actually hate the fact that they instructed us not to wash with soap! In the forums they are even saying that its not allowed to wet the treated area. But still~ I have to follow. Bye bye for now hygiene...
• Waxing and shaving can be done with outmost care. --I recommend that you shave or wax the 1-2 days before. Better be safe than sorry, right?
• Place bleaching cream inside refrigerator --We don't have a refrigerator at that time so this is optional.
  - Peeling interval should be 3months before peeling the under arm --Yeap. follow this. You don't want a burnt skin, do you? 

(^Instructions above is from sulit)

I believe there were sellers online who sell different type of underarm whitening kits. I have seen one with an included bleaching soap in the set but of course it'll cost you more.

As what I have told you, my skin peeled after 5 days. That 5 whole days of no soap! Eeeewww~
But beauty needs sacrifice so I need to endure it. Skin was macro peeling for days. I cant remember for how long. But skin was renewed and my real skin has returned to what it was before...Goodbye burnt skin, hello baby skin! ~WOW!

The green peeling oil process was a gold find. I love it that the process was quick considering that I tried other whitening products before. Hope I had this earlier but I doubt that I would have this much courage to try a not-so-popular brand, BCP. More about this on my future posts.

Where to buy?
Online shops. There is a branch of BCP somewhere but I am not aware of their location. I heard BCP is sort of a generic brand for a Diana Stalder.

How much?
Php250 but it depends on the seller as well and what is included in the set.

PROS

• Fast effect on skin, peeling and whitening
• Easy to use with the instructions.
• Whitens right away when used and only good maintenance deodorant is needed.

CONS

• Can't use soap until the skin peels.
• Left dark edges because my peel is not equally done on the whole underarm area, but I dont care much.
• I'm yet to look for a new deodorant, but while on the process I will stick to the aluminum chloride first.

How about you, what underarm whitening product has been effective for you?
