Hair Away + FOTD

i am shy to admit it but i *unluckily* have natural monster eyebrows.haha i should always groom them or else my brows would look like a complete disaster :{ my personal preference is eyebrow wax but most of the salons only offer eyebrow threading. eyebrow threading for me is very painful, like WTF kind of pain. haha
eyebrow waxing on the other hand is also painful but the procedure is way better for me. i usually go to menage salon in trinoma or gateway for eyebrow wax but unfortunately i don't have the free time to go the mall.

so i just went to my favorite nail salon near my school to have my brows (and legs) waxed. i went to get polished! nail salon in katipunan ( i love having my nails done here ^_^ but this is my first time to try their waxing services) alas! they only have eyebrow threading.. imagine my fear haha..
so i just settled for an eyebrow threading and half leg wax.

took some picture while waiting :)
comfy seats! i had my waxing and threading done in a separate room :)
 
nail lacquers of get polished! they use only imported brands :)

eyebrow threading
-i dropped a tear immediately after the first threading motion haha.
-its so painful (for me) good thing the lady threads fast!
-i just had my brows "cleaned" and not shaped, i just want it to look clean and natural :)
-only Php80!
the before brow is just crazy!! haha


half leg wax (they use hot wax)
-there's pain but it goes right away. :)
-they put a soothing lotion after and it really did comfort my waxed legs.
-only Php200!


FOTD with my new brows haha
and new bangs ^_^


laura mercier hydrating primer * diorskin forever extreme foundation * bobbi brown corrector *
diorskin hydrating concealer * bobbi brown pressed powder * mac fix+ * maybelline gel liner in black *
maybelline cat's eye mascarra * nars luster * nivea lip care * mac viva glam cyndi *

overall i like the service that i got from get polished! and their service is really cheap! :)
would love to go back for the next leg wax but for the eyebrows, i would still prefer waxing. ^_^

HIT  to go to the multiply site of get polished!

HG Alert!

hello ladies!
today i'll share with you a new favorite, well it's more of a new HG product!
don't you just love it when you discover a new favorite/HG?! :)

my new HG is Bobbi Brown's Pot Rouge in Cabo Coral :) you know im a big sucker for peach/coral blushes or lippies and this pot rouge hits the spot! Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge in Cabo Coral is from the Cabana Corals Collection. It is described as a pink nectar shade, for me its a true peach shade with tiny hint of pink.

It is my first time to try a pot rouge and i loved it instantly! I have only tried one cream blush and it is from NARS, i loved it but the staying power didn't impressed me a lot. So i thought maybe cream blushes don't stay long on my skin.. Then i tried this pot rouge and it stained my cheeks for hours! :) love it so much!
the pigmentation is also gorgeous on my lips! i just need to moisturize first cause i find it a bit drying on the lips.

i use my etude house stippling brush for cheek application and i use my fingers for lip application haha..
i know, its unhygienic haha but i really make sure that my fingers are clean when i dip it into the pot :)
im soo lazy to use a lip brush :{

swatch time!

overall, this pot rouge is definitely HG material! i would love to purchase another pot rouge soon ^_^
i think Bobbi Brown is starting to be one of my favorite brands. i don't know if its a good or a bad thing cause now i just want to hoard try more Bobbi Brown haha. :)

thanks for dropping by ^_^
xoxo,





P.S.
im really sorry for not updating like before.. i don't know but im starting to get very lazy busy. haha..
im thinking of getting a new blog that would concentrate on food.. and im afraid i would leave this baby beauty blog behind :( well im not yet sure of that, its just blogging about beauty is not my cup of tea nowadays (OMG what is happening to me?!!) its weird.. i still have the love for cosmetics and all, its just blogging starts to be more of a chore than a pleasurable past time :( i hope this is just a phase cause i really love beauty blogging. :)
