LA Girl PRO Prep HD Smoothing Face Primer

-
Aside from my constant rant about my unmanageable hair, another thing that I always always rant about is my oily face. And it does not help that we live in a tropical country. 

Whenever I put on make up, I'd get so frustrated because just few minutes after putting it on, I can already see my face oiling up. I'd have to blot every now and as a result, my make up won't stay long. I'll end up doing my whole face all over again or I'll just leave it as it is. 

For the longest time, I have been using Maybelline Baby Skin Pore Eraser as my primer. I don't really explore much when it comes to primer. But since I feel like the previous isn't delivering its claims anymore, I looked for an alternative. I have watched and read good reviews about this primer so I thought, why not give it a try. 



This claims to smoothen skin and fill fine lines and pores. It's silicone-y, very similar to Maybelline's Baby Skin Pore Eraser. Bought this for P369.00.00 and this contains 15ml of product. 

So how did this fare on my skin type? While, as expected, it did not stop my face from oiling up, it did hold my make up for a long time! And for me, that's already something to be really happy about!

I was not able to take a photo when I just applied my make up, but I managed to take a selfie 5 hours after. I did not put on much. Just this LA Girl Pro Prep HD Smoothing Face Primer, Maybelline's Dream Velvet Foundation and BYS Perfectly Peach Blusher. 

So here's my face after 5 hours. I blotted my face twice but I believe the make up still held up. Because of the lighting differences, you probably won't notice what I'm talking about. So you just have to believe what I say! Haha!

So, will I repurchase this product? YES! I'm actually impressed by it! 

Have you tried or heard of this product? What are your common dilemmas when you have make up on?

Hair Matters

When it comes to my hair, I always play safe. Hair check! Last time I had my hair really short? Hmmm, when I was in elementary school! I think I was in second grade? I don't remember if it was my grandmother or my mother who decided that I should have my hair cut short. I was just a little kid so I had no choice but to oblige. I obviously did not like how it turned out. It was actually because of that experience that I don't ever want to make a dramatic change to my hair. I remember how some of my classmates made a not so good comment with my then new haircut. THE hair can actually make you (feel) really ugly or pretty. So hair matters, right? RIGHT??? See, it's always in (almost) the same length. Straight. The only difference I actually make is the fringe. I either have it pulled back, full, side swept or none at all! And my face is asymmetrical (plus big) so yeah. I really don't have that much choice. I don't have the face which is flattering to short h

Lights. Pretty lights. Oh Christmas Tree! Why so taaalllll?? I started my December right by meeting up with my best friends at the Mall of Asia last December 1! We didn't take much photos because we got so excited catching up. We did not see each other for some time, so when we finally met up that day, kwento galore!  My Bestfriend, Jessica. I love how vain my bestfriend is! We really are best of friends hahaha! I used to be more vain than her, but as of the moment, I think she's more vain than I am! :)) And this is me, of course Top: Oxygen || Pants: Paper Scissors || Wedges:  Payless || Bag: Guess We were with Ymel, our other bestfriend, too but she's pregnant and she didn't want to have her photo taken because she thinks she's too fat. Well she gained weight because she's pregnant! Can't wait to meet Baby Zoey!!

For a week, I was given a chance to live a life that I wanted to live. I felt so happy. I felt so free. I felt responsible for myself. I did not worry much, in fact, I did not worry at all. Well, except for that one time, but I got it settled  right away. It was really fun. I know I said this already but  I felt really, really, REALLY happy. I've been dreaming of living a life like that and I am really thankful I experienced it. Even for just a short while. But then again, wouldn't it be a lot better if I were given a longer time to enjoy it? Yes, it was tiring. Even exhausting at some point, but if you were to ask, I can totally live a life like that! I would love to re-live that moment over and over again. I still cannot believe how so many things happened and had been accomplished for a week. So many thing had to be done and somehow, everything got settled. There was even an unexpected accomplishment which made everything more worthwhile.  I do not even know
