Pond's Dewy Rose Gel Review

When I first heard about this Dewy Rose Gel, I am not really interested. It's just another gel version created to catch the attention of consumers so there's something we can call "new" from them. There's already overwhelming number of beauty products created and I can't imagine what the other newly released product can still offer.

Nonetheless, it’s so nice to have an opportunity to try different products. Just like this, it surprisingly goes well with my face. I would still be ignoring this if I haven't tried a sample of this gel and will never know how good this product is. Lesson learned? Don’t underestimate some product but it's still "to try is to believe".

Experience in Buying Watch at Lazada

Unboxing the watch I bought.

My getup is only truly complete with a watch. But I’m still watchless now. It’s hard to buy a decent cheap watch since almost no one uses watch anymore. Why buy when you have a phone anyway? Unisilver doesn’t have leather. They’re mostly on silicon and plastic type which I don’t like. The strap of my previous watch is embarrassing to wear with its dark stains. All of my watch is disposable after 1-2 years due to damaged or dirty straps. Watch is not an investment to spend 2k or more for me. It doesn’t last even if it’s a branded one. Chances are it might not fit the kind of personality you have later on.

Choices are limited here in our province especially if you are searching for a particular design (we don’t even have SM here). I rarely find white watch. Unfortunately, the divisoria-like merchandise here sells cheap products that really have a cheap look and a poor quality when it used to be quite satisfactory before. Then I remember we have local online stores now so I searched in Lazada and Zalora.

My Experience with New Sample Room VIP Subscription + gift box

I will admit I was discouraged when Sample Room increased their VIP subscription fee. It's like paying P100 for a free gift and an excuse to increase their fee. But change is expected for a growing institution and the gift is better than nothing at all. The best time to subscribe for VIP is when being a regular member is not enough and the free samples are really hard to resist. When Belo Sunexpert line arrived, I decided it's time to subscribe for VIP again. Why not when there's Burt's Bees products too.

The Initiation

I received a notice of shipment in my email. It didn't indicate that it's for VIP gift box so I thought it was meant for my 1st order even if I didn't send my payment information yet (maybe it's not needed to send it at all). This is where the confusion started.

Since I ordered another sample product (2nd order) again, I am expecting 3 packages but only 2 arrived (the VIP gift box and 1 package). Inside that 1 package is the 1st order and the 2nd order. They were in the same plastic. That means the 1st order arrived late. There I realized that payment information should by all means be sent and should be ASAP.

What I was wondering was, why should it be in the same plastic? So I ended up having 1 invoice for the 2 orders. Maybe they have forgotten to include the other invoice meant for my other order. If they were trying to save resources, they should have at least include the other invoice :(.

Olay Whitening Pearl Extracts Body Wash Review

This body wash is better than Olay Coconut Body Wash. The clean scent is more acceptable. It reminded me of a powder detergent at first sniff. There are few times that I recognize another scent similar to the previous Coconut variant. That 2nd scent is quite sour. It’s a scent that needs masking. But in general, it’s not bothering or even noticeable for some. I finished the whole bottle unlike the Coconut variant.

It seems that I’m getting used to body washes especially now that returning to bar soap requires another adjustment. Just the thought of the dry feel from oil stripping bar soap discomforts me. Bar soaps means adjustment to a new kind of lotion to compensate.

Fast and Furious 7 (2015) Movie Review

Did you watch the Fast and Furious 7 in the movie theatre already? Bf said I will not enjoy it because it is about cars and racing (He thinks I only like love story since I recently indulged myself into books and movies in that genre but the truth is I’m really into a variety of things). Though my cousin said I will enjoy it and he was right.

I was surprised I did too because I was unconsciously expecting it to be a different kind of action; the serious and hardcore type. Instead, the feeling was like how it is with Pacific Rim though the later was way more overwhelming for me that I was even shaking when it finished. The action of the Fast and Furious 7 is meant to entertain and charm everyone.

The effects and the stunts are awesome. It tries to go beyond its limits to the point that the cars are dropped from the sky by a plane and it’s even real except the actors/actresses is probably not in the car when it was taken. It was my favourite part. When Dom is about to fire a gun at Shaw, I find it amusing when he suddenly decided to choose the street fight way where a scrap of metal is used to strike each other.
