Skin Update and Latest Haul

Hi guys!! It's.. *looks at the clock* 2:33AM now.. I know, I know its late. I actually slept pretty much all day today because I was off, and its raining.. and well, it feels good to finally catch some snooze. How are you guys? Hope everyone is doing well..

Me? Well.. errrr.. I'm coping.. Of course we all face some issues from time to time but March was pretty *excuse my language* shitty month for me. :( Actually Feb-March was really bad!!! In all aspects (except maybe my job which I'm thankful for) of my life. One of them is my skin issues. Ok, so some of you guys know that I bought a Clarisonic Mia well long time ago but haven't gotten around to using it until Feb of this year. Pretty much ruined my entire face :( They said "purging" is normal. Whoever says "purging" is normal is out of their minds!! Who would want an acne face and then it would heal and will leave you with all the acne scars and pock marks?! Well, I don't want that so as soon as my skin started "purging" I stopped using Clarisonic but my skin was never the same again. First I had these "fleshy bumps" on my forehead then I started having very small zits (like a lot of them) on my entire chin. I feel so shitty that I started using --- to name a few --- Benzoyl Peroxide, Salicylic Acid, and my latest -- Retin A (which gave me a super dry skin). My skin is healing but its taking so long. Too long. I hate this. I don't know what to do because I have tried almost everything (except facial and laser). I went to a dermatologist and well she prescribed me the Retin-A and some cleanser, toner, etc that they sell on their clinic. It wasn't worth it because it was too expensive and it stings to death!!!



Are you ready for pictures? You sure? "X" it if its too gross. Haha! But Ok, Here.. It's embarrassing but I know some of you guys understand what I'm going through...

Here is with make up already (just some tinted moisturizer).

You can see the bumps in the middle of my eyebrows and of course my chin.

Here is without make up. Looks so ugly. *screams* I would always be shocked looking @ the mirror. Haha.. *finding humor in this kind of situation kinda hard* SIGH

Here is with a good BB Cream and concealer (no photoshop). Covers all the imperfection. Hehe. Well actually the pictures below were taken 2 weeks after the pictures from above. I will reveal my skincare routine soon (the one that's helping my skin heal - it's still ongoing. Unfortunately, it takes time).

Oh ya, did I mention I got my braces off? Wearing these ugly retainers. My first impression? WOW I HAVE HUGE TEETH!! SLIMY TOO!!

It's like this photo "What the heck, my lips feels weird without braces"

Ok, I guess we move on to the more interesting stuff - HAUL! Haha!

This Hello Kitty make up bag is gorgeous,  but I'm not proud of this purchase. I say it's a nice traincase to have but for the price? MEH! It's $100 for those who are curious. It's definitely an impulse buy. You know you get that when you are feeling down then you see something "ahhh I want to have that!" then you just grab it and when the SA ring it and tells you it's $100 + tax, you just close your eyes, take your card out and swipe? LOL. Then after you get out of the store, you keep chanting "it's nice.. and well I deserve it" Haha. Well, I'm telling you right now, It's so expensive!!!! I nearly died. lol!

To top it all, I haven't use it, just sitting on top of my table. I pass by it and I tell the bag "you so expensive..oh my" lol!

This one -- I really need. Yes it's a necessity. I needed a watch that has seconds for work and I thought, "why not a hello kitty watch?" It's $45. (minus 10% off - it was on sale! YAY!)

This one is $75 but I didn't pay for it --  my co workers did! Hahah! They gave me a gift card to Sanrio for my birthday and I wasn't able to use it because I don't know what to get but when I saw this bag, I thought, "hmmmm... might as well use the gift card!" So thanks co workers :D My first purple bag. Hehe!

And recently, been eating to Korean BBQ places. This one is at SHIK DO RAK in OC. Yummy! Course, I gotta throw foodie pics :P

Hmmmm.. that is all for now!! Will update very soon! *looks at the clock* It's 3:10am. *yawns* Umaga na makatulog na nga!! (for those who speaks Tagalog).

HELLO KITTY WATCHES!

Hello Kitty Super-thin Rhinestone Leather Ladies Wrist Watch

http://www.budgetgadgets.com/hello-kitty-superthin-rhinestone-leather-ladies-wrist-watch-p-7067.html?osCsid=307b50436dbdad147122fc45b468a032

$3.74

I love this watch! The leather strap is so thin, so girly! The rhinestone is a nice touch. I've used them for more than 2 weeks now and so far all the rhinestones are still there and the strap hasn't come off yet. So that's good, considering how cheap this watch is! Hahaha! This watch also comes in black! :)

Hello Kitty Pattern Rhinestone Leather Wrist Watch for Ladies

http://www.budgetgadgets.com/hello-kitty-pattern-rhinestone-leather-ladies-wrist-watch-6522-p-6982.html?osCsid=307b50436dbdad147122fc45b468a032

$3.99

Haha! I just realized that the watches I chose have rhinestones on them. Like I said on the first watch, the rhinestones hasn't come out yet. It did get a little dirty on the strap but that's just me because I use these watches at work and well.. I work in a hospital so it's expected that it gets a little dirty. I did clean it using wash cloth with soap and water. It states on the back of the watch that it is water resistant but you can never be too careful so I don't want these watches to get wet. Sometimes you get what you pay for. :P This watch also comes in different colors! I want the black one now :P

Hello Kitty Pattern Eye Rhinestone Leather Ladies Wrist Watch

http://www.budgetgadgets.com/hello-kitty-pattern-rhinestone-leather-ladies-wrist-watch-p-6980.html?osCsid=307b50436dbdad147122fc45b468a032

$4.03

Among the three watches, this watch is my favorite!!! I think I wore this watch to work more than the other two watches that I got. It's just so cute! I love Hello Kitty Angel. and yes the rhinestones are still all intact and the straps hasn't come off yet.

PROS: It is cheap! Durable! & its super duper cute! There's so many selections of cute Hello Kitty watches and other stuff like iPhone cases and other gadgets too!! Also I like how the website accepts Paypal. Seriously, I actually feel more safe when I shop online using Paypal because if something goes wrong, you can always dispute it with Paypal and also the website you were buying from doesn't need to know your credit card information thus having slim chances of getting identity theft.

CONS: It comes from China so the shipping took almost a month but they say it takes up to 12 working days? Maybe it depends on the location. Also I'm all about packaging and the watches doesn't have a box but just plain plastic. I wish it had a box. It would have been a lot cuter :P

OVERALL: I love the watches! I love anything Hello Kitty! I was very happy with them but of course since they are a lot cheaper than the watches at Sanrio stores, you must take care of these more and even though it says water resistant, I don't recommend them getting wet. I give them 5 stars because of their durability even though they weren't expensive.

My Rating:

It's nice if you want to give gifts to your friends or kids or give away for like a kiddie party, goodie bags or anything like that because you can buy them wholesale and it will be much cheaper! I know now where to buy Christmas gifts for my family and friends! Shhhh :P

They even gave me a flashlight key chain with "withadriyah" on it! Hahah! How cute and nice :)

As if the prices of the stuff there aren't cheap already, Amanda from budgetgadgets.com is offering my readers 5% off with the coupon code: withadriyah5off How awesome!!! Cheap Gadgets! Cute Stuff with Free Delivery! Perfect Isn't? I always love free shipping :P
