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).

Beauty Review: Dueba Jelly 3 Tones Grey

Note: I suggest going to an optometrist first to make sure you're okay to use any kinds of contact lenses/circle lens whether if its prescription or for cosmetic use only. You should not wear lens to sleep or for more than 8 hours. Always wash your hands before putting them and when you're taking them out. Always use eye drops if you feel like your eyes feels dry. Again, don't use these kinds of lens if your eyes are too sensitive or if your doctor tells you not to.

DUEBA JELLY 3 TONES GREY

About Dueba Jelly 3 Tones Grey...

"Exclusive to Eyecandy Lens!  Rim your eyes in an exotic colour blend of three tones with our Dueba Jelly series!  The flecks of bright colour will give you a natural look that's extremely pretty and refreshing." 

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Brand: Dueba

Origin: South Korea

Water content: 38%

Diameter: 14.2 mm

Base Curve: 8.6

Duration: 1 year disposable

**NOTE**

This Circle Lens came from http://eyecandylens.com. The product was provided for free for review purposes only. I did not get paid to do this review and these are my honest opinion about the product.

http://eyecandylens.com is currently having a FREE SHIPPING Worldwide and FREE CASE if you buy a pair of lens. So many lenses to choose from and no batch waiting.

Here is a promotion code for all of you guys :) CODE: "ASPINKASMYJUICY" For a SURPRISE GIFT!

PRICE:

It is currently on sale for $26.68. Great price considering it lasts you for the whole year!

SIZE:

It's 14.2 mm. Smaller than what I would normally choose for circle lenses but still makes your eyes much noticeable and doll-like. For me, there's not much a huge effect.

*normal lighting*

 *with flash*

COMFORTABILITY:

I find Dueba brands are really good in terms of comfortability. Doesn't dry out my eyes and lasts for more than 5 hours without using any eye drops. It's comfortable that I don't even feel like I'm wearing any lens. Just note that you need to soak the lenses in a solution before using them. 

HOW IT LOOKS:

If you want to just enhance the color of your eyes, this circle lens is perfect. It doesn't give you the "soul-less" look that some circle lens give due to its size. It's just the right size, but knowing me, I prefer the 15mm where it really gives me googly eyes. Haha!

AVAILABILITY:

Currently available at http://eyecandylens.com. Here is the direct link: http://eyecandylens.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=118_215&products_id=1187&zenid=0d34415c2239fa7f14c31be0ebb4db2b They also offer other colors of this kind.

OVERALL:  

Thank You for reading this review!! :)
